I'm beginning to think this Genesis thingy might have all been made up (or stolen off other religons). But why?

One of eternal questions of man, eh? But, what it's worth, the bible's much more interesting than it appears at a quick glance (the one usually taken by zealots and your run of the mill members of the church these days) - intertextuality, number-based riddles and other stuff span both testaments. It's naturally a teaching tool for a moral ethos, but the answers usually lie a bit under the surface and require you to think on multiple levels. It's basically a big couple of books that teach you not to take anything you've read for granted or at face value but to think for yourself.

Funny how it all worked out, really.

how many kb ios do you recomenned to have nowadays?

[/ QUOTE ]
As many as you can.

Invul Brute's can't cap S/L Solo.

You can fall underneath Eden. Plus it's way, way too big.

In an ideal world we'd be stuck with Atlas/Steel/Skyway as the maps.

And something like that would violate the EULA, I'm pretty sure. But not because of multiple account.

And by " actively PvP" I mean spontaneously moving around the zone and engaging.

It's pretty hard to bounce between multiple accounts and actively PvP. Unless you're right near the hospital, but then - more fool for you fighting near the hospital.

And it wasn't Eve who was at fault for taking the apple - it was the (male) serpent that lied to her

Whatever comforts you.Open the bible and have a read.Satan has no gender.

So i guess Eve failed hardcore.

Is ok i can feel your pain trying to interpret the bible how it suits you.

I just read what's written

And infer the gender of the serpent via your own bias.

Wasn't City of Spies suggested a long, long, long time ago as the fabled 3rd Expansion before it got canned/Emmert buggered off?

It's pretty easy to get enough KB Prot (if you've the cash) to negate 90% of melee KB and range KB (as long as said ranged KB isn't enhanced).

Mitigating all of it? No chance, which, in my opinion, is a good thing.

No, because a good percentage of the 'witches' (and they were called witches) tried, convicted and killed were males. They were not convicted of 'practicing a famale kind of magic', they were accused of consorting with the Devil.


[/ QUOTE ]

Accused women outnumbered accused men by at least 4 to 1 - witch hunting was gender related persecution in most cases.

[/ QUOTE ]
Just because the organised persecution focused on the female gender, it doesn't mean that the words etymology is explicitly synonymous with women.

You know, I actually really like that.

That's not a fault with the enemy group, that's the fault of the people in the team.

Freaks are actually slower XP than a lot of other groups because of Dull Pain and having to deal with those that Rez.

Freakshow are fine, they are a lot more annoying than a lot of other groups at comparative levels.

As for the "bonus" XP, I've never really noticed any HUGE difference. The majority of the 'extra' XP with Freakshow that I seem to see comes from those that Rez - especially bosses.

The Cap's definitely 2409 odd, if it didn't cap there my Regen'd hit about 2600 with DP.

Sadly I don't think you can't quite get to the HP cap solo on a WP Scrapper.

Atlas is easy enough to get without massive effort involved, especially since flashback.

accolades yeah.. no exemps, no set bonuses idea is no IO's at all but again i cant possible police it. so as long as i cant see anyinthg in set bonuses your ok!

[/ QUOTE ]
To be honest if people are frankenslotting set IO's without going for bonus', it won't be a huge difference over SO's at that level. So if people do it, it won't be quite as bad as it would at 40.

NPC Nightwidow's have a different, glossier more PVCesque shine to their outfits as well as slightly different markings/patterns that aren't available to the player version of a Nightwidow.

Surely it wouldn't be that hard to have those pieces unlocked when you branch to Widow, much like how the Mace and Crab Spider Backpack unlock for a Crab/Bane at 24?

Just be a nice QoL implementation, along with the missing buttcapes.

I'm not knocking the proportions, I figured it was an aesthetic choice rather than a drawing issue, and it fits - though I can't for the life of me find other stuff by him. =\

I'd give my opinions, but I've gotta go DPS Lusca on my Emp/Dark with unslotted Dark Blast. It's more DPS than Blind so it's obviously awesome.

The proportions seem a bit off, but it's pretty nifty.

tl;dr

Bantam please.

So what if a set is considered good for farming or pvp or is flavour of the month?

Screw everyone else, if you want to play it - play it. If you find it fun to play - play it. Being turned off a set because it's popular or good at x is just as bad playing that set solely because it's popular or good at x.

You only get it from the passive powers....

But as i said, even defense in the 90-100% doesn't change the outcome. For some reason, monsters at high level all have a 50-100% bonus to hit, making defense pretty weak.

[/ QUOTE ]
Not really, no. The odd boss or mob may have a slightly higher acc modifier, but generally they don't.

I've not noticed any sudden problems on my Ice Tank, Widow, Bane or Stalker. Mind posting your build and what you've been getting squished by?

I want to be able to faction fit my toons and lose said awesome items when dying.

Mostly for hearing TG on Vent.

Stalkers hardly fall over in a breeze, especially since the HP boost.
