Grey Pilgrim

Because the purpose of trick or treating is to "PL meh!" Got my Corruptor a level last night because of it. He was at least at SO levels and had a couple good debuff powers, though, and most of the rest of the team were in the high 40s.

Yeah, but... fighting GMs in Portal Corp was too much fun. It wasn't griefing... right?

Looking back at people that used to do it, part of me still wants to say it wasn't being mean. If they were a lowbie there, they were just looking to get PL'd. And if they went AFK in an area without police drones, whose fault is that? But yeah... it's griefing.

Nope, mostly just a set mule. I'd throw it a slot if I could, but I've been making do with one slot in my hold from the Fire Ancillary for a long time now, and I hate it (tossing my extra slot to my hold, in other words). It's useful to have up often in Malta or Arachnos missions, when you're taking on Hamidon in the LGTF, etc. One slot doesn't seem huge, but it'll up my accuracy, recharge, and duration a fair amount.

I can see what you're going for, I just hate Acrobatics with a passion, not to mention the KB hole in general for Dark and Fire. Don't see any reason why those sets have it: no good performance or "feel of the set" reasons fly with me, either.

As it is, I still wish I could grab more from my Ancillary on my tanking build. I have a need to teleport teammates often enough that getting that power would be nice (and free a slot in my build), wouldn't mind more recharge from fitting and LotG +recharge in somewhere is the easy way to do that.

Just find what works for you and go with it, just wanted to note the options out there. For your build... you might get more slots if you did things different with Health and didn't have to 5 slot it. Probably would help if I had more slots in mine (just have a Numina's in the default slot), but I don't want to take the slot from anywhere else.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Nice thing about builds in CoX is that we have so many options.

I know... someone that did this way back in the day in CoH... but really didn't know it was griefing. Heard it was a way to show how tough you were and drag them to the Portal Corp. court, or something, so that's why they did it.. They were quite silly to think that was not being mean... honestly.

Made that argument for Pulsar before as well. Probably would be okay with it having a higher recharge because of it as well.

The Hobbit has separate film rights from LOTR, and were owned by someone else. There was some huge major saga about it all that I just don't care about anymore, but that is part of why it has taken so long.

And if this isn't filmed in NZ... ouch. Shame for the movie and for the union.

...

Didn't see this back then. GG, I know they're "adding" more things to make a second movie, and don't really care. Stringing any extra stuff together from appendices or Peter Jackson's rear to make a second movie or expand the focus of The Hobbit doesn't look to improve the story in any way for me, and I love The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I love the world those books are in, but don't want just anything strung together. Heck, I think they could make some stories from The Silmarillion work, but I know it would be hard.

Blech, and I can't see anything good coming from 3d for these, either.

I didn't really mind how Kirk died, though I'm sure everyone wanted him to go down in a bigger blaze of glory somehow (though saving a planet with millions of people on it is a big fact that some forget). However, mortality is the big theme of that movie, and Kirk dying in a way that passes on the torch, but also in the way that he could have died any number of times in past missions... kind of speaks to that theme a lot more. You can die just like that, or somehow manage to pull on through for another day or so.

Between the cinematography, gorgeous golden light for much of the film, and interesting themes, it's actually a movie I like quite a bit out of the entire series of movies. Wrath of Khan beats it out for action + themes, of course. First Contact is pretty good as well, or course, but Generations sticks with me somehow.

Kind of wish TNG had a better sendoff, and DS9 certainly deserved a movie, but I can kind of understand how those movies petered out.

The JJ Abrams movie looked good, had nice action, etc., but it was wanting in some areas. The villain was nonexistant other than to randomly kill a few people and blow things up, and some important things were rushed. Hopefully they can trim out the weaker bits and keep the good stuff with the next one.

I wasn't really saying anything different from what you did. With all the info in this thread, it's clear that it will fire more often in a toggle, but not necessarily when you want it to. As you said in your second paragraph, it can be better as damage frontload in a click, which I see as usually more helpful for a Blaster.

It's entirely up to the player with this one... I used to like it in toggles, but after learning about the length of the boost and knowing how random it is, I've been leaning more toward a click, just so you know it's firing when you want it. I can see the logic going both ways, really.

Huh. Could have sworn I read a few definitive notes on this somewhere on the interwebs, but I'll go with it. Doesn't really matter to me as long as I know what a proc does.

Eh, he's already potentially facing resistant mobs. You have Crey Tanks, Rikti, DE rocks, etc., at that level. Not saying it isn't a factor, but it isn't something that is too difficult for AR to get over. M80 followed by Full Auto or Flamethrower is still a nice AOE combo.

I have never agreed with or understood this line of reasoning... see Voodoo Company's apt response below, as I agree with it entirely. Shocking, I know!

Yeah, they might be optional, but many of them have decent things in them that just aren't worth what they're charging. I could maybe talk myself into this origins one in the future, if it was more reasonably priced. At $10, it just isn't.

The boosters I do have (GVE, Magic, Ninja, Cyborg, and the GR stuff) were mostly purchased with a version of the game, making them cheaper than the $10 they technically cost. But the origins one isn't on par with those at all.

And Ham... that picture says volumes about your playstyle. All is explained now.
