Well, he didn't bleed... you get unaffected messages. Unless, of course, you zap him with that Grounding Ray thingy.

Maybe during the second mission. The first one, AFAIK, we beat him down straight.

Thanks for inviting me.

[/ QUOTE ]

No problem. Glad you were available.

[ QUOTE ]
That was a great run

[/ QUOTE ]

Hell yeah!

On the plus side though. I finally got rid of my supply of rocks clogging up my temp powers bin.

And you thought those pockmarks on his face were acne scars! HAH!

Sammich? WIN!

Beer? BLEARGH! Can't stand the taste of alcohol. (Yup, a mutant in a family of alcoholics).

TV? I don't really watch much anymore (the boob-tube slave of yore gasps in horror).

Porch? I'm in an apartment. No porch. No balcony. My place is a hole in the wall where I sleep, occasionally eat, and play on my compooter.

you know... stop TYPING. lol!

But how will you know my angst then?

*FUMP*

AUUGH!

Not quite sure what you mean.

AFAIK, nobody used the ray gun (or for that matter, HAD it) prior to this run.

I'm not sure about that... Most of the SS attacks are fairly low DPA even with Rage up. KO Blow has good DPA but the super long recharge really hurts. I think the only other attack that has over 100 DPA is Haymaker. I'm guessing that putting together a sustainable attack chain with enough DPS for even an AV without any resists would be difficult for SS.

You can. You're making tradeoffs elsewhere though. My primary build is a scranker. His defense is for *BLEEP*. But he pumps out decent amounts of damage *I wub you purples!*.

Cycling between Air Superiority, KO Blow, Foot Stomp, Hurl, LB Eyes works pretty well.

But I wanna know what I'm going to do about my hand!

Watch!

*SHAKESHAKE*FUMP*

See! It's now on the floor! That's just SO not right!

Official cross-postery and more screenies.

I had my burp^H^H^H^taunt on auto.

Trick, if you wanna do a little research first, here'd be the place to start.

There's a graph with all the characters ever in SF in it. Click on the respective links and try to find one that looks familiar.

Pics or it didn't happen!

Outside of ONE lucky shot through my defense that stunned me and allowed me to be killed, my HP never got below 80% (and most of the time stayed fully at 100%).

During the second fight, when he unleashed the AVs, I basically kicked everyone else off to go take care of the AV and stayed on Reichsy. No problems.

Now the downside.

I'm suing Paragon Studios for giving me carpal tunnel syndrome.

Gah! The button-mashery!

I dunno.

Just finished this on a TF with 4 blasters, 2 defenders, a troller, and me.

Beating him down EVEN THEN took for-freaking-ever!

My keyboard hand hurts like hell now.

Okay, take a good long listen to Call_Me_Awesome.

Then, one of these days (after suitable investment), you can have a an Inv/SS tanker with these kind of numbers.

And here is a link to C_M_A's guide

Be warned. The build is NOT quite as cheap (anymore) as the original guide made it out. HOWEVER, it's DAMN effective.

Well, SS isn't exactly a "fast kill" secondary...

Even so, not bad at all.

Incriminating Evidence

This shot was taken during an ITF today with a Troller bubbler a Kin/ Defender and an Empathy Defender.

Take a VERY close look at the defense numbers.

Did I kill stuff FAST? HELL NO! But did I kill it? HELL YEAH!

Ah hell. I'm a PVP hater but you said the B-word. I'll show up tonight.

But I warn you. If you want me to act all '1337 and kiddie during this time, you're going to be SORELY disappointed. I'll have a gun to my head the entire time, just in case I have a nervous breakdown and turn into a PVP-jerk. It'll be "*BLAM!* Hyper? You there man? What's this blood leaking out of my internet connection?"

You realize you're twenty years older than everyone else on your team, [u]combined[u], and you're darn proud of it! Whippersnappers! Get off my lawn!

Fixed.

With your current PSU you're NOT going to be able to support a GTX280. About the beefiest card you can put in there is a GTX260. And even then, you're probably straining the system's power envelope.

Depending on what you've got in the system, (assuming 2 high speed SATA drives, a DVD burner, 3 LED fans, high performance board with on-board sound and NIC, PLUS the GTX260 you're looking at approximately 381W at 100% system utilization.

*Cracks the Necronomicon*

Klaatu Barrata NI*THSIIUFFF!

Sorry about the thread necromancy. Figured I'd just put in my two cents on this.

Okay, JUST slotted a toon with NOTHING more than the basics described in this guide.

With defensive toggles off and no enemies:
S/L: 28.63
E/NE: 15.81
F/C: 8.00
Psi: 3.00
Melee: 13.31
Ranged: 9.25
AOE: 3.00

With defensive toggles on and no enemies:
S/L: 36.12
E/NE: 23.31
F/C: 15.50
Psi: 10.50
Melee: 20.81
Ranged: 16.75
AOE: 10.50

That's with NOTHING ELSE SLOTTED.
No Weave, no tough hide, no invincibility. NADA!

I took him into a team against Adamastor. With minor buffs from the team, I never dropped below 50 S/L (didn't have the other monitors on).

The hat is off C_M_A!

*Edit* Note that I am using Kinetic Combats, not Smashing Haymaker.

What purpose does XP have in AE.

[/ QUOTE ]

As a draw for the 98% of players who would otherwise ignore it completely.

[/ QUOTE ]

The deuce you say!

Again, if you like repeating content over and over in short time periods, more power to you.

I'm still new enough to the game that I have lots of avenues to explore and don't need MA to "spice things up". So long nobody's trying to force me to play their way when I don't want to, I don't give a damn.

To any Dev reading this: remove experience gain from all non-Devs choice story arcs..

Kills MA completely.

[ QUOTE ]
On a side note: there's another thread here proposing a change to AE buildings that will only allow characters of the level range of the zone to enter the building. This is a good idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. It's not. It severely gimps/destroys the ability to freely team.

[ QUOTE ]
This will put a dent in power leveling since lvl 2s wont be able to farm lvl 54 maps.

And guarantees that the MA will go the way of Cathedral of Pain.
