Hellbug

you don't really...you make a very good point

belt and suspenders rule, don't the bonus' stack?

i am fairly certain the benefits from cj (like the small def bonus) stacks with the WP...so i had thought the same for acro, haven't gotten my wp brutes up that high yet

leaping for CJ and acrobatics...SJ is the coolest travel power, imo

fighting for tough and weave...fills in your s/l resists nicely

hasten is fine, but do you really need it with SS? i would say not, but your mileage may vary

fitness pool for health/stamina and either swift or hurdle depending on your travel power choice (cj+hurdle=fast in missions)

just a Thought...

just wanted to say thanks for the excellent Guide...

as someone coming from 3+ years in Shadowbane ( THE uber PvP game) as well as DAoC and too many others to get into, both as a regular PLayer and the countless beta tests...

i must agree with so much of what the original Poster discussed...

i've been having a blast casual playing, trying different toons out, getting the feel for the mechanics and tactics..i have totally NOT missed the phat lewt part of most MMOs

quite the opposite in fact...

i am also enjoying the fact that i can completely solo at my own pace and choice rather than being forced to group in order to accomplish certain things....

been here about 5 weeks now, and even with casual solo play i have enjoyed every second of a lvl 29 dark/dark brute, a 14 necro/dark mastermind , a 10 dark dark corrupter and a 10 dark/fire brute

as you can see, i have only begun to scratch the surface of a SINGLE power set...

this makes me very happy in the pants for the thought of longevity in this game

thanks again for the wonderful Guide and confirming much of what i have suspected...i look forward to spending more time with all you Villians on Triumph...

who knows, mebbe i'll even group!

heh

Excelsior!
