    Six slotting with Red Fortune or Titanium Coating is not a good fit for Invuln. Those sixth io set bonuses are positional, whereas Invuln is mostly typed.

    I would take Rage instead of Tactics; Rage will take GSFC as well.

    I would take the Acc/Rech out of Jab and either put the slot somewhere else or put a damage proc in there. You are wwwaaaayyyyy into "red alert" territory on damage.

    I would put off taking Resist Elements and Resist Energy until later.

    I would replace Jump Kick, Unstoppable and Assault with Boxing, Tough and Weave.

    If you decide to keep Unstoppable, at least put those extra two slots somewhere else.

    I would take one slot out of Health and one slot out of Stamina and put them into Dull Pain (3 level 50 common io's are too many). Maybe put one of the unused slots from Assault into Dull Pain as well, i'd recommend two Health io's and two Recharge io's in Dull Pain.

    Speaking of the X-Files....

    I was sorta half way watching Johnny English Reborn. Having missed the opening credits, i kept asking myself "who's the hawt milf playing Pegasus [the head of MI-7]?" The fake English accent kept throwing me, I kept thinking I must have seen her on Doctor Who or something.

    But then she got "that look" that Scully was famous for (about a minute thirty in)...Damn, that's Scully!

    She is much hawter now than she was 20 years ago.

    Tuesday May 22 at 10 pm Eastern: Soul of the Woodsman (aka Numina TF)

    Level 35+, min 4 to start, 36 merits

    If you'd like to reserve a spot, please leave your global, toon name and AT.

    Please note that the Nemvasions will still be going on. When an invasion hits a particular zone, usually all other factions are driven indoors. This may make some of the street hunts in this TF even more mind numbing than usual.

    [Edit: Changed "will make all" to "may make some" because the Nemvasions - if they occur - usually only affect one zone at a time. My original statement seemed to say that the Nemvasions will interfere with every street hunt. I doubt that will be the case judging by how invasion events have affected our past Numina TFs.]

    Would you pair Claws with WP or Inv on a premium acct? No IO's, so SO's mainly. Inf is no object (my main acct has plenty of inf) so HO's or orange (ie, not superior) ATO's are a possibility. But prolly no SBE's.

    As you are levelling up, what's the best strategy for where to put slots:

    a) Slot lower damage attacks first (ie, six slot Jab before putting any into KO Blow) iirc, this seems to increase DPS

    b) Slot higher damage attacks first (ie, six slot KO Blow before putting any slots into Jab) iirc, this seems to increase DPA

    or

    c) Even them all out (ie, make sure all attacks have three slots before putting a fourth in any attack)

    I'm mainly looking for the best strategy for someone who tends to focus on IO sets and set bonuses (bonii?). I typically start IO'ing out at around level 27 and tend to use level 30 sets.

I didn't have time to check if the woman was Lois-esque or not, but that wouldn't surprise me.

It'd be kind of like trying to have Statesman showing up as a cameo in Champions Online...not gonna happen.

    iirc, in the first episode of Lois and Clark, when Clark is trying on various super costumes in front of Ma and Pa Kent, one of the costumes is a dead ringer for Captain America's costume sans shield, of course.

    Also, in Spider-Man I, doesn't Aunt May say to Peter "you're not Superman, you know"?

    Try these:

    /macro FXoff "SuppressCloseFx 1$$SuppressCloseFxDist 255"
    /macro FXon "SuppressCloseFx 0"

    The first macro creates a button that, when clicked, turns off most of the visual effects associated with various powers. Your powers only, can't turn off the Hasten on someone else's hands.

    The second macro creates a button that turns the effects back on.

    Hopefully, yes. Now, if this were a Numina, maybe not. But I think a Sister Psyche will be OK.

    Zwill says the Nemesis Invasion runs all month, so this might be a problem in 3 weeks when we do run Numina.

    Brain Fart! Please note that despite what the thread title says, the TF is actually Sister Psyche, not Citadel.

    Great peekchurs as always, Belle!

    For the clone fight, I noticed that Gata had two clones and Bree had no clone. I guess this was right after Bree dropped. (But she must have come back since she's in the Rollister fight.)

    I've noticed that when a player drops during this TF, the game knows someone is missing, but doesn't know what AT/powerset/costume looks like so the game creates another clone of the team leader to take the missing player's clone's place. (Gata was your team leader, right?)

    Also, you had three peeps with Staff on your team. Recently, clones of newer powersets had access to higher tier powers of those powersets. That bug was supposedly fixed recently, but that was before Staff came out. Did you all have a particularly difficult time with that fight? If so, did anyone notice if the clones were using higher tier Staff attacks?

    IIRC, the Titan Weapons Pack hit the market some time after Titan Weapons powerset became available.
