Hopeling

Do we know yet if the 10% bonus applies before or after that limit?

You're completely right overall that this is a plain terrible enhancement. I was just objecting to calling it "worthless" because it is worth something, just not much. Which is pretty much just semantics, so whatever, I'm not going to discuss that point further.

Half of the TW attacks look terrible with the weapons we already have. The Fusion Hammer hits the ground with the rocket end, instead of the hammer end, when using Arc of Destruction. Many of the weapons don't make any sense to use for thrusting with Rend Armor. A scythe would be no worse than these, and the existence of the Demon Axe says it's clearly possible.
The Demon Axe is indeed a scythe, but not at all a "conventional" scythe, so it doesn't quite meet what many people were hoping for I think. TW overall is really lacking for "conventional" weapon types.

No, Musculature is the only damage buff that affects it. Ion was bugged and the jumps benefitted from damage buffs for a while when it was new, and let me tell you, that was all kinds of broken

Oh, man, it was horrible. I've actually mentally blocked out most of the movie, because it was so, so stupid. That's been my experience with most of the "cult classics" I've seen, actually. A local theater where I used to live showed a different cult movie every weekend, and I finally learned it was not worth going, even though a friend who worked there would offer me free tickets.

Bad movies: not a new thing. So yeah, movies suck today, but that's mostly because movies have ALWAYS sucked.

Sturgeon's Law.
I'm really not sure what else to say to this. Most movies have always been terrible. It's only the good ones that stand the test of time. So yeah, if you compare only the old movies that anyone cares about enough to still watch or remember, to all of the new movies coming out, it will appear that movies today suck. Because you've already weeded out all the old movies that suck. That's just rose-tinted nostalgia. If you want to have an actual argument, compare the ENTIRE list of movies that came out in some 5-year period to all the movies in the last 5 years.

The recent TRON movie, by the way, although not great, is miles better than the original, in my opinion, having seen the original before the new one came out.

Does that answer your question?

Plus, Ion's secondary effects - end drain and an unreliable hold - are generally less useful than Void's damage debuff or Vorpal's defense buff. And as mentioned, it is tied with Vorpal for the slowest-casting.

The initial hit on Total Core is lower, accompanied by a higher DoT, but the t4 Core Final has a full-strength initial hit.
Level 50 minions have 430.8 hp, and most Judgements hit for 428.36, so without Musculature they will indeed survive the initial hit (although even one tick of a DoT interface should at that point defeat them). There's no cheating going on. With Musculature I can confirm they fall over immediately, as long as they don't have high resists or several levels on you.
A t4 Vorpal is exactly three times the area of a t4 Pyronic, which is definitely much larger, but Pyronic is plenty to hit one whole spawn, which is usually what I'm concerned about. If you'll need to clear the next spawn, Vorpal's ability to hit them too is definitely valuable.
If we're just talking about the damage done, I prefer Core doing an extra ~15% all the time over Radial doing somewhere from 0% to 33% extra, but that can vary by taste and what you consider "normal" play. The DoT being the most-resisted damage type is not a point in Core's favor, either. If the def buff is also meaningful to the build, I'd give the advantage clearly to Radial.

Also, Musculature definitely boosts Lore pets. You can see this in the power Detailed Info when you have a Musculature equipped, and the alpha power also shows on the pet buff bars.

For years and years, the devs have avoided giving us various costumes and etc because they might clip. The players' outcry has ever been to give us the pieces anyway, and let us not use them if we don't like the clipping. If you don't like the clipping, you're welcome to not use it. Animations that clip into your own body is a somewhat separate issue, which should indeed be fixed where possible.

As to the non-Momentum cast times, I really find them to not be an issue, and even if they were, TW is already such an incredibly strong set that I would not expect that particular idiosyncracy (I'm not sure it can even be called much of a weakness) to ever be fixed.

Better sound effects would be nice. The set sounds like Wiffle Bat Melee at times.

Actually, according to your link, it's "around" 8am central time.

Dull Pain is a very strong heal, although the recharge is long. Eventually you can get Rebirth as well. And of course there's always green inspirations. I've rarely found healing much of a weakness with /Inv.
The larger black hole would suck less; the tidal forces are less severe, so you have more time before it rips you apart... right?
Maybe I've spent too much time reading about these things >.>

Possibly when we got Brutes and realized how much better it was to have a taunt aura

More seriously, a secondary with no taunt aura is fine, and perfectly playable. But having a taunt aura is certainly a plus, so it's worth mentioning when talking about the pros and cons of going scrapper or brute with a particular combo.
