I've found KM (/FA) particularly fun on Apex, Tin Mage, and the STF, where AVs and tougher targets in general are plentiful. I solo regularly at +4x8, and just tear through tip/radio missions. As far as teaming, I've not done much teaming on it outside of Apex and Tin Mage since hitting 50, but was nearly always teamed/TFing while leveling and it wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. PS is up often, and even if it doesn't stack 5x due to team speed, having a constant/frequent 30-90% damage buff is very nice, and it is up often, and lasts a good time. Even without the buff, you do well. AAO and Shield Charge play into this a little differently than Blazing Aura, Fiery Embrace and Burn do, but you will not be hurting for damage. +30-45% rech from the Spiritual Alpha slot makes PS practically always up at 50. Frequently stackable, even if you can only have 5 of the damage portion stacked regardless. That made me sad. I was looking forward to +210/240% bonus damage, with FE, without team buffs. The lack of crit on CS isn't that noticeable, as the attack hits harder than normal regardless, and is frequently got 30-90% from just PS (AAO would add more), and for me at least, FE makes it so juicy, I one shot bosses plenty. The longer rech on it /is/ noticeable however (though not really an issue after the alpha, slotting, and sets). The nonboss portion of the mob isn't even worth mentioning, even at +4 if you blink, you won't even notice the rest of it was there, and I think you'd see something similar with /SD.

If it is rude, I play with very offensive people, and always have, and they hate everybody.

I read the first volume/collection of Powers waaaayy back, when I was newish to CoH actually, and liked it; always meant to read more, but haven't gotten to it, and can't now, but look forward to the show.

41?

Don't forget to add Mr Freeze to the list of horrible villain re-dos. Especially after BTAS turned him into an actual character.

I did like their spin on Clayface though.

At this point, I consider him being in the movie about as likely as Robin Williams playing the Joker in Batman Begins.

This whole debate always reminds me of the people saying confuse hurts teams.

31?

24?

Nothing to do with Jack Bauer.

Doesn't the streakbreaker force you to hit after fewer than 11 misses in a row? ...

I didn't notice any acc issue on my KM I leveled recently. Especially after getting PS and CS; together, PS is nearly always up and running.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Honey is sweet,
But not as sweet as you

Cas has some truly fantastic 1 liners...

"This isn't funny Dean! The voice says I'm almost out of minutes."
*To Lucifer* "Hey! A**butt." *throws molotov cocktail*
*Voicemail* "You have reached the voicemail of: 'I don't understand... why do you want me to say my name?'"
"Are you drunk?" "No. Yes." "What happened to you?" "I found a liquor store." "And?" "I drank it."

I entered the forum, accidently hit back, and in the quick second before it actually went back, I read the thread title as "Supernatural: The Abomination." I was ready to go on a rampage telling you why you are wrong, and why the show is awesome. Then I read the thread, realized it wasn't what I thought, and somehow ended back up at "Abomination"... But I've yet to find anime I can like. I think I heard about this a while back, and was meh on it then.

I liked him better with the mullet. Business up front... party in the back.

Is the whole superhero aspect of the show supposed to be this boring and uninteresting? The only parts of the show I've found myself wanting to watch are the mom/wife "solving" the mystery.

Happy Birthday, Mari!

I want one.

Hm. everyone must be out earning rares, crashing zones, or shoveling snow >.<

This toon just hit 50 tonight, and was a total blast to play up. Been thinking about a build for it for a while, and I'm still not sure I'm happy with anything I've come up with. Considering how much fun this toon was, and how well it does on just SOs, I'm kinda surprised I haven't been able to find any other builds on here. This is the build I am leaning to, emphasis S/L defense first, recharge second, HP and damage third. It is intended to be used with the recharge/heal alpha slot.

I'm looking to go solo friendly (IE, playing at x8 >.>), and TFing with it. My main concern at the moment is all the energy damage that isn't coupled with S/L in the end game, Rikti, and Praetorian Clockwork in LGTF and Apex/Tin Mage. 24.4% energy def is something, but it isn't a lot, and I'm doubt the +HP I have is enough to cover the difference. Most of that E damage is ranged, so working in free/cheap E or ranged defense is something I'm hoping for.

Another thought I had was the PvP IO, PBAoE -res proc. Worth it in Blazing Aura? Not sure I'd want to lose the defense.

I'm aware taking both the early attacks to stack PS up faster/more reliably is a good way to go, but I like having the ranged attack in Focused Burst, and don't think I'd trade those two things at this point.

And I think lastly (it's pretty late, so I might be forgetting something), the Gaussian +BU proc in Power Siphon... that'd only go off upon activation of PS, right? Or would it have a chance each time PS stacks? I believe Mids has it's stats incorrect on PS, and the +tohit portion doesn't increase with stacking (and also that it doesn't add the damage correctly/at all).
