I'd be wary of teaming with said player in the future unless she mixed it up a lot more and became more buff conscious, but I'd just leave a note on the player and move on.

He is a beast already, but I do have Energies/Elements ED slotted at three each. Is that benefit so minimal that the slots could be best used elsewhere? Maybe RPD or somewhere else to set up another six slot for a set to be more beneficial?

What's the deal with the passives?

Normally, I wouldn't care, but it has also seemed to lock out all of my extra character slots. I had 5 free ones that I just used up the other day, and now they are all locked. I don't really want to delete a character just so I can make a new one.

Thanks!

that's not saying to neglect your toggles, but they are just a side-effect on your endurance management and on average are fairly fine with a just one slot worth devoted to endred and any other slots devoted to whatever other aspects that you want from it that are enhanceable.

ideally you dont want to use more end then you gain, or you'll faulter is sustained battles, but situationally, many variables will play a part in the battle that can not be accounted for in pure raw data


2. Typed trumps Positional in Psionic (some psi attacks do not have a positional component)
&
Positional trumps Typed in Toxic (there is no type defence for toxic)

... other than that, they are pretty much the same (hit/miss is only checked ONCE against your strongest applicable value),

and depending on the power set's strength is where you'll want to build upon (WP, Ice, ect... provide typed def and so your better off building upon them then you are starting over and building on positional; SR, SD, ect... are positional based so your better off building on them then you are starting over trying to build typed),

but in general it is just easyer to build on Positional (3 catagories) as oposed to Typed (7 catagories) (such as in Regen, FA, ect... case where you start out with a blank def slate)

If you are on a public channel, just exit and return.
Or ask an OP in a tell (star) to remove the silence.
And also ask yourself how long have you been silenced and what kind of channel rule did you break.. ;P

Did you download it along with Demo software? There are some driver packages that even reach into the 3GB range... but they come with trial games or other demo software usually.

The Ninja comment is irrelevant. Ninjas didn't (and don't) carry katanas. They carried a ninja-to, which is a slightly shorter, single edged, straight-bladed sword. Any time you see a ninja carrying a katana the person doing so failed in their research. The ninja-to was designed to punch through armor in a stabbing motion from concealment, hence the shorter, relatively thick-spined blade and long hilt. The shorter straight blade was also easier to use to slice a jugular with than a katana. It was worn over the right shoulder to facilitate stealth (hard to be sneaky when your scabbard is bouncing off of things in the dark) and the shorter blade made it possible to draw from that position.

The katana required much more space to use effectively than a ninja-to, which was also designed to use in confined spaces. A ninja-to did not have the same power in a slashing motion as a katana, the longer curved blade added power by slicing and drawing the entire edge along the target. Since ninjas relied on stealth, such an attack was impractical and would draw too much attention should they carry their slash all the way through a target and strike something else, making more noise than necessary. A stabbing motion was more easily controllable, so their weapon was designed with that in mind.

Edit: The stalker's Ninja Blade is actually a good example of the ninja-to, the color tintable version's dimensions are actually more realistic than the Legacy version, which was slightly too large. People who call that weapon a katana are mistaken.

ALWAYS the left hip, to be drawn by the right hand. If DB with katana blades, then they are still both on the left hip.

That's very weird...

The First time I fought him I did not use any insp. and almost died and thankfully he left at like half health. The next time I faced him (last mission) I popped a medium purple and orange. Well I wasted the orange needless to say, I guess the purple was enough to counter the def debuff from his Rad Infection, because he did not lay a hit on me, I would have thought like within 10 hits he would get one but out of like 30 or more he didn't touch me. Also I think WP has some def debuff res.

But if you find yourself in trouble and don't want to hit the ground, taste the rainbow, pop a purple for more defense, pop a orange to take less damage, pop a green to get some hp back quick, and pop a red to kill quickly.
