Fleeting Whisper

1. Use CM reactively instead of proactively
2. Use CM only when facing a group that includes mezing enemies
3. Don't use CM on Scrappers and Tanks unless you're about to fight Ghost Widow.

Like, oh, say... Tin Mage?

Before they fixed Poison Trap, the would summon a gas entity for each target in the area, rather than just a single one. That what what was doing things like holding AVs through PToD and nuking spawns via procs. But neither then nor now would it summon more gas entities over time.

The -1000% debuff will shut down the regen of almost any opponent by itself, though. You didn't need the multiple gas entities to do that.

SB requires a teammate or an extra $14.99/mo

While I don't think I'd qualify as a "casual player", I do often play casually. Just before I started working purples into my MM's build (my first lv50), she had around 300M, and that's including my expenditures getting almost all of the IO crafting badges.

In the real world, they say "The secret to becoming a millionaire is not spending everything when you've reached 100,000." The same applies to becoming a billionaire: Don't spend all the stuff you've got when you've hit 100,000,000.

I think my Sister Psyche/Dominatrix idea rebuts that

Hmm... or maybe not. I suppose it depends on your definition of "action"

The only EBs I've fought with my Warshade since getting Stygian were Nocturne/Sands/Castillo in Faultline, but I didn't really have any issue.

Because that's so much simpler than using an unsigned datatype or switching to a 64-bit datatype[/sarcasm]

While technically possible (for example, Java has a "BigInteger" class which has no size limit beyond "your computer's RAM"), making a change like that to the existing code (and database! don't forget that we like to have the same amount of inf when we long on as we did when we logged off!) is a far larger ordeal that utilizing the sign bit or upgrading the address space.

It is not possible for an enhancement to increase both magnitude and duration simultaneously.

Technically, whether an enhancement buffs magnitude or duration is determined by the power, not the enhancement, but it's an either-or thing. You simply can't do both. (While all current Hold powers are set to have their duration enhanced, it is theoretically possible to create a Hold power which will have its magnitude enhanced instead. It's unlikely, because it makes "Hold Duration" enhancements inconsistent, but the system allows it)

You're now going to claim that Knockback enhancements increase magnitude and duration, but that's simply not true. The mechanics of the Knockback effect (combined with the ragdoll physics applied to NPCs) means that higher magnitude Knockback results in a longer period before the target recovers, but that's incidental and has nothing to do with the enhancement. Most Knockback effects have 0 duration (there are a very small few that do have duration), but all current Knockback powers are set to have their magnitude enhanced.

You forgot doing it outside at a Rikti invasion...

LAUGH WITH ME!

Don't you want some Spiderling Scout cookies?

Benjamin Franklin neither spoke nor wrote any phrase even approaching that one. However, James Bovard wrote in the Sacramento Bee in 1994: "Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner." The same line appears in a book Bovard released later the same year; that's the first actual citation of anything approaching your quote, and that first appearance is more than 200 years after Franklin's death.

So, unless you're suggesting that Zombie Benjamin Franklin said it to Bovard... it's not a Benjamin Franklin quote.

And anyway, the version most commonly spread around the internet is "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." (the word "lunch" did not enter the English language until several decades after Franklin's death, making it more bizarre that it would be attributed to him)

Hmm, and what if SP mindrides Dominatrix for bit, too? This thing could get weird, fast

If NCSoft endorses RMT, then influence gains a real-world value. If influence has real-world value, the government can tax it. (They might not, but they could)

Oh yeah, well maybe I'm an aeronautics engineer!

Or maybe I'm a college student working on a CS degree...

What about a Sister Psyche/Dominatrix scene?

Though redside it does care if you meet the requirements to unlock the contact

And Stygian Circle is available only at 22; Stamina's not possible until 20, and I've got several characters with Stamina that held off until their 30s to get it.

I would say it's more to offset the endurance cost of the toggle. With no toggles running and nor recovery boosts, it takes 59.9s to go from 0% endurance to 100%. With unslotted Nova or Dwarf active, it takes 60.2s. With a single -3 endmod TO, it takes 59.7s.

Of course, if I'm absolutely right, they could have just removed the recovery portion of the power, and set the endurance cost to 0, at the same time they set Hide's endurance cost to 0. They didn't, so I'm either wrong, or there's more than one reason for the +recovery in the Kheldian forms, or the devs just didn't think about it.

The only times I've found myself unable to use Stygian Circle were when it's recharging, and when I'm in a mission full of ghosts. Admittedly, my Warshade is not 50, butt hat's been my experience.

The speed of sound in dry air is 768 mph.

The hard cap on Super Speed is 92.5 mph.

I'm not sure I'd call 12.04% "near".
