Wow am I in the minority here. When I get a new toon to lvl 50, I delete the old one. I only keep one active 50 on red and blue side. For me it is the journey. That and I have yet to find the high level material enjoyable. That said, I have yet to try the Incarnate stuff.

Q/R

My worst PUG moment is generic in nature but it drives me nuts. You wait around to get the PUG formed. So everyone is at the mission and in we go! You get into your first scrap and a few of the heroes go down. Normal up to this point but I have seen so many people quit after the first fight because they faceplanted. At least give the team a chance to gel before you take your ball and go home!

Q/R
This is the most friendly MMO I have ever played, so feel free to ask questions in game as well as in the forums.

I second (third or fourth depending on how many responses ring in as I type) Freedom and Virtue as a good place to start.

My best piece of advice is to join groups as you play. It is easy to join teams and, IMHO, makes the game much more fun to play. I have played on rolling PUGs that lasted hours and had a blast. It's also a good way to fill up the friends list. You can solo if that is your thing but I feel this game was made with teams in mind.

The most important thing is to have fun.

Put 8 masterminds or corruptors together and you have enough bubbles and buffs and heals to make there be absolutely no need for tanking whatsoever, throw in a couple trick arrow users or dark blast users or a couple doms and you solve all your crowd control problems.[/QUOTE]

This is like playing an eight person team of all, various, Defenders Blueside. No huge DPS but the OP4 still goes down in a hurry with no faceplants. Hell a team member's health will seldom fall below 75%.

Now make it a half Defender and half Controller group. Well, I almost pity those poor villians.

The OP hates MMs.

Because only MMs have knocback in CoV.

Oh, wait...

[/ QUOTE ]
Additionally, ALL MMs have knockback.

Darn them crazy knock-backin' zombies. I think the Lich is the worst offender. Off with his head!

[/ QUOTE ]

I most sincerely doubt he'd notice. I mean, he's already dead. That'd just mildly inconvenience him, at best!

[/ QUOTE ]

Plus it can add to any Fear effects, kinda like an extra slot for the power

Claws is not hurting in the damage arena regardless of scrap or brute claws.

From this thread you can find a spreadsheet discussing single target damage with all brute/scrapper primaries propagated to both sides. This chart is based off of basic IO slotting.

Brute claws is only slightly lower than scrap claws and both are in the top 8 sets out of 28 sets.

Then you can consider that claws has three aoes, a huge cone, a small high damage cone and a pbaoe.

Claws rocks. A lot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dead on Target correct but it is fun to pick up a Volkswagon sized boulder and chuck it at an enemy.

I have had this experience as well and it is upsetting; however, I have also been on Pugs that will roll for an hour and a half and are quite fun. I enjoy teaming over soloing, so I will keep trying for those "good" Pugs.

Now wait a second, this complex represents a multi-billion dollar investment and don't think that kind of decision should be left up to a grunt. No offense.

Hello everyone. Thank you taking the time to read this.
Im having a little bit of trouble putting together a character concept for my next Hero/Villain. I plan on making them a Werebear.
Now with that in mind I cant decide between Brute/Tank.
And to even go one step further. Will Power vs Inv or do I wait for Claws on brutes?

I guess what im asking is, if given this concept, how would you roll?

[/ QUOTE ]

I associate were-creatures with horror films, so I say roll a Brute. As for power sets, I always remember the were-creatures shrugging off bullet wounds and they kept going. That sounds like Willpower to me. SS or claws will work to flush out the character.

Main thing is to roll something you will enjoy playing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldnt this also classify as Inv?

[/ QUOTE ]

I see Inv as attacks bouncing off where Willpower is absorbed. Most movies I remember the were-creature would get shot, look at the wound, then get ticked off and go on a rampage. Hence Willpower was my selection.

No scientific mojo here, just personal preference.

This thread brings back many old and joyful memories. Ah the days of yesteryear, D&D rulebooks, dice, pizza, two liter bottles of soda and 20 hours with nothing to do. Ah, the good old days! Of course my parents are still wondering if I will make anything of myself. Or if I'll ever move out of the basement...

Yeah I know of some SG's out there that hold CC with massive rewards, insane rewards and all these rewards go to SG alts. Makes the SG look generous, gives them exposure and they don't loose profit in the process.

It's all business and they recruit during the CC.

*Spooky music*

Trust no one!

He is getting ready for the DELETE button i am affraid...

I understand the frustration with 30/40+ villians. It can be a grind and it is hit or miss finding anyone to team. I can see the Veat reward yet it still seems miles away.

The Cyborg pack is pretty fun though. Self-Destruct never ceases to amuse.

Forget clowns at your kids birthday party. Send in the cyborg, hit self-destruct and watch 'em scatter!!!

I have played SS/FA and enjoyed it. With that said, Acrobatics is a must with this set unless you like being tossed all around the place during battle.

Chasing Fury? Perhaps if you had one of those really slow animating sets like Axe I could see that, but I've never experienced it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have an Axe/Shield Brute that does not seem to have problems with Fury. I run to a group and smack one in the head, run to next group and repeat. Once I have a good mob going the Fury bar fills up in a hurry. In gives me such twisted joy to see an opponents health bar drop 50 to 75 percent with one good whack! The hard part was controlling the End output. Once that was under control, thank you End Redux and Stamina, said Brute turned into a killing machine.

As for my preference, I like teaming so Tanks are my favorite option.
