I'm sorry if my post read that way, it wasn't intentionally so at all.

That sounded high when I first read it, but looking at the market I realize why: I only looked at recipes when I was making my initial offers... there is an enormous price discrepancy between recipes and enhancements (over double for the same slots in some cases). I can't even begin to imagine why since the crafting costs on a bad day will be 8 mil, tops, but, there you have it.

I think it would be mutually beneficial if you were to go ahead and shoot for the best price you can get on Wentworths and I hope to do the same with some low bids on the recipes. Thank you though for the offer.

This is also my personal opinion.

Time is going to be extremely powerful on a Controller. I'm planning on an Elec/Time as soon as I21 launches.

Commentary aside, if you want to make a counteroffer on anything I'd be happy to hear it.

Wow, congrats. Someone's probably gonna be posting about that sooner or later, haha.

I actually got exceptionally lucky and got 40m apiece for those LOTG tris I way overbid on the recipes for, after crafting and listing them for 20m apiece (which was high, at the time). I didn't end up making any notable profit after crafting and salvage costs and the market cut, but at least I got my money back.

...and this...
...sort of invalidate the idea that "anyone can manage this, starting from nothing"? The fact that you have /auctionhouse to use means you have years upon years of experience with the game (and it's economy), which, while kind of difficult to quantify in a thought experiment, is invaluable to your ability to actually pursue a project of this type.

A thousand times this. Both Kheldian types are getting some long-awaited changes and Peacebringers have been the laughing stock of the Archetypes for a long time. This is not an appropriate time or place for a pissing contest or for griping about losing the insane power lead Warshades have... I mean, hell, really, Warshades built for their potential are one of the strongest single characters in the game. Complaining about Peacebringer buffs because they make you feel less special is just asinine.

Edit: On topic, I think one of the biggest issues I have with the Peacebringer AT is the overwhelming presence of knockback in their attacks. It's been a while since I gave up on mine, but as I recall almost every offensive power they have has at least a chance for knockback. In my opinion, all of their melee attacks should get converted to KD, not just Solar Flare. I can live with the ranged attacks KBing, but would like them better if they KDed instead... the presence of so much knockback on an archetype designed to melee is just mind boggling, I never understood the decision, other than 'BCUZ NRG POWARS HAS KNOCKBACKS K?' that was used as a justification when the AT was made.
I, personally, would also like to see the targeted AoEs (and this includes Bright and Dark Nova too) turned into KD as well, because they're incredibly frustrating to play as or in a team with, im my humble opinion, but I know some people don't care about that as much.

I'm kind of with Vanden here... especially since you're vaunting this in the name of roleplay... if you want electric powers, use Electrical Mastery. Mu Mastery is a form of magic taught by Sirocco and includes the ability to summon one of his decidedly evil lieutenants to fight as your servant. <sarcasm>Real hero-ey.</sarcasm>

Okay. Requests for the following 'I fly by standing on something' props:

• A big chunk of rock
• A big chunk of ice
• If possible, an ice trail like Ice Man 'surfs' on
• An energy trail, something as simple as Prestige Power Slide but flying would be neat
• A flat, plain, metal disk
• A surfboard
• A broomstick could work if the feet are positioned right for it?
• A missile/rocket/torpedo thing
• A manhole cover and/or trashcan lid
• A shield (maybe even access to the full shield customization options? Pretty please?)

This was actually my question on the Facebook status, but it unfortunately went unanswered . Hopefully Zwilly can get back to us on it soon.

It's a passive "power." Since you didn't seem to get the comparison to Supremacy, imagine it as if it were a Leadership toggle aura on you... that you don't have to do anything to make work. Any pet that you own (yes, Lore pets included), benefits from the effect of that aura power, regardless of what the IO that grants it was slotted into.

Masterminds... overpowered... what?

I see. I think I'm going to have to end up utilizing a second build if I feel like I need to go that route, looking over the current one it looks like I'd have to start from scratch with that goal in mind anyway to get anywhere near capped ranged defense.

I focused on S/L because I assumed Ice's dependance on being relatively central to combat to utilize Arctic Air would limit how much safety only having ranged defense would provide. Do you find that in practice that isn't actually a concern?

Gladiator's Net is actually not nearly as bad as most of the PVP sets, I've pretty consistently been able to pick any of the recipes except for the proc up off the market for 10-20mil each if I'm willing to wait for a couple days to let the bids run their course. I have used it before because several pieces of Basilisk run that much anyway, and Gladiator's has better enhancement values as well as better set bonuses that ignore enhancement level when exemplaring.
That said, if you think I need to work damage into those powers, could you suggest some specific slotting combinations?

I hadn't realized it was auto-hit, thank you. Do you think, considering the plethora of slows available to ice/storm(/ice) that enhancing the slow on this (or any other specific) power is going to make much of a difference? I was under the impression that ice/storm could reliably cap movement slow out-of-box with only a few power uses. Is that not really true?

That was exactly why I had Flash Freeze, yes - I had no real intention of ever actually using the power (barring it being fixed, of course).

Assuming I dumped Assault, Tactics, and Vengeance, picking up Combat Jumping, Thunderclap, and... something, I'm not sure... O2 maybe? Where would you suggest I look at for slots to pull?
I could put the three from Tactics into Thunderclap and only need one additional slot to pick up the +recharge boost from Absolute Amazement (EDIT: I'm currently thinking I could remove the LOTG def/end/rech from Steamy Mist without it hurting my actual defense enough to matter), and still be able to keep the Fortunata's Hypnosis mule, but that leaves me with a power left over that I'm not sure what I'd do with... is O2 Boost even worth using with only, say, a Golgi in it? Should I consider Shiver? I don't have a power pool left to take Recall Friend as a 'meh' pick (I'm married to Flight for this character's concept).

I actually really love the powers in the Earth APP, but it doesn't conceptually work for this character (an ice elemental/ghost creature, essentially), am I really going to regret Ice Mastery? I was thinking that Ice Storm would have strong synergy with the build. Does it not work out well in practice?
