I thought Lady Arete was running it?

She know's i'm up for running an a team again, so obviusly if your taking over from here, then i will put my name down here too.

I'd use FM/ over DM/ against Rikti mate.

I'd say a rough guide would be, end usage as close to or below 1.00 end/sec. Not including SS or SJ as they arn't needed during a fight.

And recovery over 3.0 a sec is good.

Aim for the accolades which bump up the ammount of end you have thus increasing your recovery too.

Those sorta figures are easy to achive with body mastery.

Recharge

Ranged Defence

Damage

Status protection.

Scrapper signing in.

Anything WP works, i'd prefer FM/WP myself

Sorry for my lack of exsplanation before. But Nihilli, is pretty much spot on.

An basically you could have alot more foryour money.

Take care

Lmao, I love how only the topic author is mature enough to take constuctive critism.

It's far too late to exsplain my points, my builds about 4bill an is the same or better, i'm not really gunna waste anymore effort replying as i don't really care

It's ok, the basics are there.

It's masively exspensive with the Glad proc an it's seems abit pointless.

But overall it will work, it's just it's abit end heavy, an has low recov an regen considering what it could have.

Also because of the way you've slotted tough, resistances are abit low.

Not a bad build by anymeans just abit clumsy. i don't like true grits slotting for the Rech, all that extra rech only knocks a few seconds of SC etc.

Number crunching shows /SD is stronger but it needs serious IO investment to be playable.

/Fire doesn't an mixed with Spines it works.

Now if we ever got Spines/SD oh my days yes please.

Redraw is part of the game in a way. If you want to be an Arch/kin ofcourse there's gunna be a delay like in real life. How can you get around the fact you need to pull out your bow after using a secondry power?

It's the way it is, just like if you we're shiooting an changed to a mace, there has to be a delay, it's not realistic if you could swap instantly....

The game ain't dead, an aslong as i enjoy myself who cares anyway.

If on Union i'm up for it, any night except friday and saturday is fine for me atm.

i have a top specced FM/SD an it's insane. by far the best melee damage dealer i've played for versatile game play.

DM/ solo's better but no AOE

Elec/ Farms better but no ST

Fire/ IMO is perfect.

Worked twice for me too.

Gold is easy, getting sub 41seconds isn't.

I can get around 46 seconds with SS and CJ only.

To get much faster i need SB

Soft capping an /SR is a tight build build, Have to be careful with your slots.

Soft capping a NightWidow is alot easier with room to breathe. I hate Claws/SR, but love my NightWidow.....

Earth/Storm/Fire

Insane control, insane debuffs decent damage.

LOVE MINE

It was free, an requsted by RPers not even plays the game to kick ****.

I'm not a RPer, Never use it, but think that it was a good FREE power to help out a community

Not everyone wants to run everywhere even if they are a super hero.

It's a big discussion, i think mainly to put my points down simply, even the most powerful combinations ain't all the grass is greener on the other side sorta thing.

When you see someone play a toon well, making it look like the toon is awesome, i bet the owner of the toon is having a harder time than you think.

Every powerset works if built right. But even the powerful sets have problems, at the moment toons like DM/SD forexample, it'll look really strong in a big mob, you think lots of damage you'll see the self heal, but things like the mez/debuff toggle not activating or the fact the toon needs 2 bill to be anygood, are major factors

MyFM/SD is very strong at 50, it's 2 sets that are very strong put together. But i have drawbacks.

Firstly to soft cap it cost me 1.5 bill, an let's face it a SD needs to soft capped to be anygood.

Secondly if i'm below level 47 i loose my set bonuses which makes me useless in ANY TF etc below that level. Without being soft capped i get owned. thus i never play below 50.

the defence debuff toggle, it's a pain in the ***, have to have it on auto and when on an ITF if it doesn't fire off in a mob agaist cinemoras i get owned.

Even the powerfull combos have weaknesses. some of the so called weaker sets in game are alot better than they look on mids, an lets face it everyone builds on mids before they roll a toon.

The only powerset is Willpower, it has no drawbacks and can be made cheaply or insanely powerful with money.

The reason there's so many toons in the bame is because no toon can do everything.

As a basic rule i've noticed the best toons are only good once at 50and slotted, And damage isn't everything. Higher resisted attacks have def debuffs in the attacks which at times is better than straight damage from like fire/

lomng post i don't feel i've made my point because i't would take me all day to come up with a proper reply. As apart from 1 or 2 combos most sets are very fair.

I wouldn't, i never use SG/VG bases so it's a waste of £ imo.

I like the game and because i can afford it

my main acc has 50s i don't play but won't delete and the steam sale got me an active account for 2 months for 12quid.

There's me there's me!

Get the word out on Sals and set a definate date, lots will join trust me

i know a fair few anyway, i chould easily fill the zone.
