    Nah. I actually doubt they're in the top 10 even, largely because they get such high turnover. However, there are a few SGs that could use a bit of friendly tweak. I didn't think of the SG mentioned in the OP with any relation to the 88s.

    If it's Virtue, count me in.

    What a horrible idea in a thread generally full of good ones.

    Inf Sinks - Ideas?

    POST-ACTION

    There was a great idea (not mine) someone had for a way to reset a level of a crafted IO to the level of your choice for a set price. Say, set that level 50 LoTG /Recharge to level 25.

    I know I would take advantage of something like that.

    You're not as ebil as I thought. Buy them all up but list one at an insanely high price. That means the one person in the game that badly needs it has to fork over a mini fortune. After you sell that one, list another one that was headed to delete anyway. Buy up any supply. Soon, you might actually attract more speculators into the niche, artificially driving up the price.

    ...just because I'm a White Hatter doesn't mean, I don't know how to do the Black stuff too.

    Points to threads in sig. Ice/SS actually farms very well, but if you want to get rich in a hurry, learn to use the market.

    Anyways, I used to run a pretty cool farming SG, had a bunch of cool people that enjoyed farming and pvping quite a bit, and it was probably the best time I have ever had in this game. So here's the thing. I'm thinking about getting a vent server, and jumpstarting my SG. Right now I am the only member. My thing used to be "Join the SG, level a fire/kin, and be a true part of our ranks". This time around, i'm thinking about having everyone make a Burst Damage farmer as opposed to a DoT farmer.

    I figured I would have everyone roll an elec/shield scrapper, or a arch/mm blaster. The concept would be, we jump in a group of 53s or 4s x 8 and hit shield charge, then lightning rod, and hopefully there is very little left or nothing...

    Before I go and do this, how effective do you guys think these combinations would be on a farming map? i'm talking 8x elec/shields or 8x arch/mm, and I also had some others stuff in mind, just wanna get this sorted.
    If you enjoy farming, sure they'll work. But farming is a solo activity. One electric/shield or one arch/mm can solo the map themselves. There's honestly no need for the rest of the "padders" - even though the padders are farm characters.

    From a strictly make a lot of inf in a short amount of time, marketeering can net you far more with a lot less effort.

    Maybe instead you want to focus on running TFs at the highest difficulty levels possible - I think a lot of players can get behind that. It's sort of like farming but can have more combinations of different ATs.

    Why A Blaster?

    Very true. People who care what people bring to a team are in the same category as the people who has to have a tank, has to have a "healer", has to have a rad, etc. When people start discriminating at that point, it's a message to me to find another team or get rid of the crybabies.

    There's really no content in this game with one or two exceptions that can't be overcome with just about anything.

    Why A Blaster?

    POST-ACTION

    Blasters are a team AT. Sure they can solo (many of them very well), but that doesn't play to their strengths. Scrappers can also team, but they're designed to be more self sufficient. Comparing the two are comparing two different things IMO.
  14. Fury Flechette
    Inappropriate for the guides section. You should get the post moved.
  15. Fury Flechette
    Definitely quit, but don't give away your stuff. It's not like the stuff rots when you're gone, and I've seen a number of players quit, erase their characters, etc. only to come back months (or sometimes years) later. Then they have some regret.

    They also have free reactivation weekends, and it may be fun to tool around on old toons which are enhanced, and then go back to what you were doing.
  16. Fury Flechette
    Here's a version with better resistances, no HOs. I did have to use Gaussian's however. Still the build has around 60%ish recharge so it should be that bad.

    Take this as a start. It doesn't fullfill all the things you want. Not wanting to 6 slot Gaussians was the killer for me, and I ended having to use HOs, which is also something you didn't want.

    The differences between the build is incredibly minor when considering the cost involved. The 2 major differences are you have more AoE def and the Blaze pool. I took body mastery to be able to hit +3's and such. So that's probably a wash. Though I may look into Blaze... more AoE is always tasty.
    I assure you that the differences in your build and the one posted are not minor. Is it worth the cost? Maybe not. However, your OP asked for an opulent build and I provided one.

    The build I provided is seconds away from perm hasten (I very much doubt you have more recharge - check if you have the Force Feedback proc and hasten enabled in your Mid's build - I turn both of those off), soft capped and has heaps of recovery and very respectable regen. The only thing it falls behind in is DDR. Accuracy, with all those purples is not an issue.

    Cost wise, it's right what you're looking for: 2B+ for the Glad Armor IO alone, a couple more billion for the Panaceas, 5 LoTGs, all three health uniques, 4 sets of purples - only the expensive ones, and some pricey pieces like Obliteration quads, Enzymes, etc. In fact, if you want I can even load more cost into the build by using Shield Walls instead of LoTGs and throwing in the Basilik's quad or possibly throwing in the 3% resist all IO for another 1B.

They are going to make heavy use of PvP IO's, purples, uniques, HO's and pretty much all the expensive things you can imagine.
    That's my vote as well. Shield scrappers can become extremely expensive - in the 10-15B range easily without massive use of purples. Example:

    Very Expensive Electric/Shield
    3.64 end/sec recovery, .92 end/sec consumption
    274% regen
    102.5% +recharge

    I used to do that. I don't bother anymore. I make inf so quickly that it's not worth it to save 50k, 500k, 5M or even sometimes 50M. I can literally make that back selling one crafted IO. It honestly doesn't bother me that I'm giving someone else profit.

    Further, I've given away billions to SG mates, friends and strangers. I've held billion inf costume contest (actually multiple times), given billions to SG mates for them to buy IOs, randomly gifted strangers 100M. It's all monopoly money at the end of the day, and I can make it back if I wanted to.

    When I craft stuff, I usually grab salvage at the going rate too. I could care less if the Alchemical Silver I need is going for 250k. I'll grab them and craft an IO that's worth 5M. If I'm in penny pinching mood (i.e., on a brand new character), I'll lowball bid on the same salvage and usually get it after 10 mins at my price.

    Interesting reactions.

    I put a definition of White Hat marketeering together mostly as a reaction to the thread about what ebil is. Now, you can certainly argue that ebil isn't really even "ebil" because the market is voluntary system. No one can be forced to buy anything and none of the goods for sale is absolutely required to play the game since things like IOs, costume recipes, temp powers are *optional* content.

    However, even under those guidelines, I think there's room for a definition/philosophy of being a White Hatter. I think it mostly boils down to a) being service oriented in focusing on transactions that provide time savings - crafting b) making moderate profits (though you'd still make a lot over time).

    That begs the question about what ebil really is. Personally, there's nothing I think is truly ebil but there are many activities that are misunderstood. Activities such as flipping can raise prices but at the same time prevent scarcity. Cornering the market on a piece of salvage can be used to make inf and cause aggravation to players (probably the most visible sign of market pvp), but most experienced marketeers avoid this since it requires a lot of maintenance/time, is only effective as a short term strategy and does not provide good returns for the amount of effort.

    The two activities in question get the most non-Market forum reactions and seems to bring up the ire of players due to the fact that neither activity *seemingly* requires any "work". Nothing is built and sold through flipping, though you can certainly argue that it takes knowledge to both pull this off for a niche and to protect it long term. Cornering salvage requires a great deal of work - more work than many suspect, but to the unknowledgeable, it appears that someone or a cabal is making millions for almost no appreciable effort.

    There seems to be a common misperception that selling a crafted enhancement for more than the cost of its components and the value of the recipe is somehow taking advantage of another player.

    One of the things I've noticed in my forays of playing the market is due to my knowledge of historical pricing, a willingness to look at the market interface (forgoing just playing the game) and patience, I am able to acquire recipes and salvage at far lower prices than many players can acquire it themselves. Further, due to crafting badges or discount crafting coupons, I can even assemble the disparate pieces more cheaply as well.

    I, of course, don't pass all these savings to a potential buyer, but I will list a crafted IO for a price which is often times significantly cheaper than if the player tried to get it on her own and didn't have a lot of time.

    I feel that the above is the essence of what I call 'White Hat Marketeerring'. In exchange for a modest markup, I am using my marketeering skills to provide a product at a reasonable price but saving a potential player a considerable amount of time and effort. Further, as a White Hat marketeer, I am satisified with modest amounts of profit. I have found that selling many things at modest markups quickly often times generates influence/infamy/information far faster than going for higher profit margins. I sell an item, make a modest profit, while you benefit by buying an item you want at a fair price.

    You don't have to ebil to play the market, and a mutually beneficial arrangement can be had by both buyers and sellers.
