Hopeling

A Fortunata is a reasonably close fit, I think; Fort melee attacks aren't psi, and they can only get pets from patron pools, but they do have an otherwise similar array of power types.

It shouldn't, AFAIK, much like IO procs or Interface powers don't.

Very few enemies have typed defense against only a few types, anyway, at least that I can think of.

Right, I misremembered the base accuracy on Judgements. But against +3s (in Apex/Tin Mage, for instance), those alone would be (.48+.06)*1.3=.702 = 70.2% hit chance, while empirically I consistently have a 95% chance.

I'm fairly confident that they do. Set bonuses boost your character's global accuracy attribute, which applies to all powers, even unenhanceable ones (temp powers, etc). Also, every character I have seems to have a 95% hit chance with Judgements against higher-level foes, which 20% accuracy and a Kismet proc cannot provide by themselves. Unfortunately I do not have time to check this in-game at the moment, but if there's still uncertainty this evening I'll grab some combat log screenshots.

You have ~200% of head room, actually. Tanker damage cap is +300% worth of buffs, it doesn't include the base 100% (so the cap is 400% if you want to include that). Plenty to get full benefit from Build Up and Hybrid Core t4, plus a couple inspirations. Of course, heavy insp use and/or Fulcrum Shift would push you past the cap, but for solo use you'll get full benefit from Core most of the time.

Still the PPM version, although not by much (25% proc chance in Stamina, versus 20% for the crafted version). Come i24 they will be identical, although of course that's still a ways off.

Old booster packs cost $10, which is 800 points now (more, if you count bonuses for buying more than 400 at a time, but I'll ignore that here). 800 points gets you the Origins capes (400 points) and auras (80 points each, 5 auras).

Some boosters did end up more expensive, but they told us that would happen. On the other hand, the ability to buy pieces individually, rather than paying $10 for the whole pack that you only want one piece of, can allow some pretty good savings.

Some fellow already posted a good one in this very thread, lemme find it. Ah, yes...
If the new price is between 15 and 20, it is lower than 20.
Unrelatedly,
I have on occasion bought recipes for generic IOs at far above what it would cost to buy them from the invention table I'd have to use to craft anyway. >.>

If I'm buying the finished enhancement though, yeah, a million inf to save a trip to the university is money well spent.

The idea was interesting, and even today I still think he looked kinda cool like that. If it had been a new character, or an alternate universe, or some such, millennium-Superman might have faded into mere obscurity rather than being remembered as a much-reviled and stupid idea. Superman fans don't take kindly to Superman no longer being Superman.

Generally, it is better to start a new thread than to resurrect a vaguely-related one from 2.5 years ago.

But yeah, you get 400 points per month with a VIP subscription. You can subscribe from Account Management on the main website, or you might be able to do it in-game from the Paragon Market although I do not know for certain.

If you JUST want points, you can get more points for your money by buying points directly, through the Paragon Market or the website. A subscription includes lots of other perks, but almost all of them go away when the subscription ends, and if you just want the 400 points you can buy them directly for $5 rather than a month's subscription at $15.
VIP is almost always a better buy if you're spending money every month, or if you want all the features, but if you just want to make a small one-time purchase for a costume pack or whatever, you're probably better off buying the points for it directly.
