I just want it as alternative summon choice, like how you can pick alternative animations for various moves. Either summon random three sizes decoy, or summon a ghostly current costume version of yourself. In fact, have it apply to Phantasm too. That way, everyone can have their cake.

Director 11 isn't that hard as an AV - the main problem comes from his invisible minions who lay mines, along with his ambushes. :3

And that's just from APPROACHING her.

Kinda unnerving and hilarious at the same time.

Also, High-Roller in my signature. Though it's from his souvenir, haha.

Forget about what might be better or worse, go with whatever you want to pick as your concept, you will probably enjoy it more that way. Shield Defense works with positional values, which can be softcapped with Weave and some set bonuses.

Think of Scrappers and Tankers at different ends of a road (damage and survivability), with the Brute being a car in the middle. The Brute can adjust to being near or at Scrapper damage levels or near the Survivability of a Tanker depending on the team they are in.

Two Shield Defense characters will be buffing each other with Phalanx Fighting and Grant Cover, which will be nice.

If you have Going Rogue, at level 20, you can switch your Brute into a hero by doing five Rogue tips a day, five more the next day followed by a Morality tip mission, and then you can cross over into Paragon City. Repeat the process with hero tip missions, and you'll become a hero.

Or, start in Praetoria as a Brute and get to Paragon City that way, it's up to you.

Would depend on the primary and level 41+ powers as well, but for pure damage, I'd have to say Fiery Aura would win. Fiery Embrace isn't a normal damage buff, it adds fire damage to every attack you do for 20 seconds, and with Burn no longer fearing mobs away and outputting most of its damage upfront, and with proper slotting can be made to recharge in 10 seconds or less...

Basically, if you're starting out of the box:

Day 1: Five tips
Day 2: Five tips, followed by morality mission -> your character affirms their alignment as either a hero or villain, and earns 50 reward merits
Day 3: Five tips
Day 4: Five tips, followed by morality mission -> your character affirms their alignment as either a hero or villain, and earns 1 alignment merit (also known as hero merit or villain merit)

Repeat Day 3 and Day 4 repeatedly.

Ideally, your tip mission people should be characters which can do missions quickly. To get tips, you have to defeat enemies which are at least level 20. They can be inside or outside missions, and have a better chance of dropping if it's from a boss-class enemy. If you take part in Task Forces, they will also drop tips frequently for you as well. But just three at a time, and up to five in total a day can be done.

Heroes use their alignment merits in Atlas Park - on the map, look for Fort Trident and go there (should be inside a cave door). Find B.O.T.L.E.R., and next to him is a box of parts. The box is where you click on to exchange your alignment merits for stuff. You can set the level of it too, so move it to level 35, if you're looking for Kinetic Combats.

Villains use their alignment merits in Cap au Diable - on the map, look for The Crucible and go there (should be inside a cave door). Find Trashcan, and next to him is a bin. That's where you click to change stuff.

You can only make one exchange every 20 hours with a character, by the way. If you want, you can also exchange 50 reward merits and 20 million inf for one alignment merit, but that's your decision if you want to go that route.

Hopefully with some kinetic combats and other stuff you get from merits, you can achieve your goal of softcapping.

I wasn't aware you could shift-click to remove slots. Learn something new every day! Will make a good workabout for now, hehe.

Happens with same factions every now and then - in LRSF, when Ms. Liberty was giving her cutscene speech, one spines Longbow Warden was killing off her Longbow escort with his spines aura, haha.

Spiritual boost only boosts powers which are normally capable of having a recharge enhancement slotted. Domination (and Mind Link for VEAT Widows and Forts, for the curious) do not accept recharge enhancements and thus, are unaffected by Spiritual alphas.

Question on new Mids - once you've placed a slot, how do you go by moving it somewhere else? The old Mids, you just double click it and you can pick it up, but the new Mids doesn't seem to do that anymore? o_O

If by "drop a bomb", if you're thinking of something similar to the Rikti bombs, that's not it. It's more like a floating arachnos symbol-labelled bomb. I've seen the Flyer throw that out a lot of times.



Would that happen to be it?
