    Word from people I trust tells me both the perfshifter and panacea procs will benefit anyone in the patch. Haven't tested it myself yet.
  2. The club hair is perfect for the Skulls, because it reminds me that these are people who need a beating in the worst way.
  3. If the player isn't actively pissing me off, then the player is good enough for me. This game ain't rocket surgery.

    Eurgh. It's one thing to end a sentence with a preposition, and quite another to make clumsy attempts to avoid same. Somehow the author of this piece manages to do both simultaneously. Hats off, I suppose.
  5. Ragnaproc all the way. Other procs to taste.

    This means you're either fighting stuff you outclass or that is vulnerable to KB.
  6. A great author, he will be missed.

    Yeah, the art is absolutely awful. I hope that is the worst thing about this issue.

    I'll just leave this here, because from reading this thread, I see it's still true.
  10. Virtue runs them constantly. Freedom probably does the same, but I don't play there.
  11. As long as I'm dreaming, it sure would be nice to be able to attach multiple things to a single email.
  12. The main boost I use when playing is bourbon. Buffs my tolerance for bad players and bad content. Many's the Synapse TF that I only made it through because of my "leveling pact" with Jim Beam.

    It would, but because TS doesn't include any +tohit, you'd still make typos

    What? Of course there is. Buffing pets preferentially over teammates is demonstrably worse, for all the reasons listed upthread. You just don't want to accept it because you've spent so much energy defending your indefensible position.

    I mean come on. Your pets have low base damage and low HP, and they can't benefit from the big ol' recharge buff at all. Do you honestly think that TS is better used on a pet than, say, a scrapper or blaster or something? Hell, even your typical defender will get more mileage out of TS than a mastermind pet. On a team, it's not about making the mastermind more effective, it's about making the team more effective.

And wouldn't I want my teammates to be as tough as possible, anyway?
    This is a good attitude to have. Thanks for being a mature adult. It shouldn't matter one bit to anyone what the other fellow has slotted. I certainly don't get worked up into a tizzy because someone else might be more powerful than me. My characters are no more or less fun to play because someone purchased a hold set on the Paragon Market.

    Quoting this, because I'm down. It's the absolute truth.

Now when I toss it out, baddies get knocked *** over teakettle, and the ones that don't are running at the slow cap to get away from me. Then I get to pick and choose who gets the fistful of electric death without worrying that everyone and their dog is gonna try to break their foot off in my ***.

    I really want to give Ice armor a shot on a stalker, but my static duo demands all my time lately.
  18. I love all forms of caltrops, but only once I have slotted it for max slow and stuffed a ragnaproc in there for some knockdown goodness. I've never checked on its damage contribution though I tell you what, when I toss some trops out of my stalker's pockets, between the knockdown, the fear and the slow, the bad guys don't know whether to **** or go blind. I often get the feeling that I survive a lot of things I oughtn't to have done due to trops messing with the baddies.

    Energy Armor also has a taunt aura, in Entropic Aura.

Than you think to yourself "Man these other players just don't get it, i'm alive and they keep dieing. Don't they know to just follow me. Meh, oh well, i'm a good tank, I haven't died!"

    You are a Scrap or Brute player, stay off of Tankers and giving advice about them. Selfish Tankers are NOT needed.
    Your posts are comedy gold.
