HAHA!

Come on.. only 7 more levels.. until Unstoppable..... then DOOOOOOM!

I still like it on my Inv/Energy Tank - it's just handy as an extra "hey, lookit me!" power. The AoE damage isn't too bad, either.

MA/SR will do you well - it's a good, solid choice.

Mace on Brutes, eh?

I forgot to mention - Tuesday (and maybe a few days after) could be a problem - it's my 22nd cakeday on Tuesday so I'll either be:

A. Drunk
B. At home with the family
C. All of the above

So, if I'm not about, you know why

So... what are we doing and when are we doing it?

I'll be on and off between now and 18:00 so I'll catch anything

Actually, both billions are of French origin. The first being the Long scale billion, with 12 0s. This scale uses multiples of millions. The short scale was later introduced based on multiples of a thousand. Short scale slowly took over and is the most widely used and, although the UK is still officially using the long scale, government figures adopt the short scale for easier use abroad. The stock market still uses many long scale abbreviations.

See here and here.

Gratz, btw

In that case, start gathering at 17:00 / 17:30.

Either sounds good, although I'm not too sure if we could actually handle the Manticore TF

More of a Cutlass (in popular media, at least), but a Scimitar is close enough in design.

A kilt wearing superteam of drunken Scottish ninja pirate zombie robot Nazis!

[Edit] Bah, RobotNinjaPirateZombie is 2 characters too long I do have an... interesting costume though. [/Edit]

Heh, I redline on my Corrs and Domi enough already

So how do you judge the fearless from the gutless? Personally, my Elec/Elec and Energy/Invuln both charge headlong into the fray, whereas my Energy/Energy tends to skirt the edges and take out what he can. I wouldn't call him (well, "it") gutless for doing so, but it's also far from fearless.

Dangit... went for a late lunch, which became early dinner, then drinks... >_<

True - gimped SuperTeam ftw!

Brutes just come in 2 categories, one of being Solo oriented and one of being Team oriented.

Fixed that for ya. Energy Aura Brutes are geared more towards the solo side of play, as it Energy Melee - that's not to say you're not good in a team, but there are better choices for both primary and secondary for that. Those Brutes can worry about aggro and taunting - my EM/EA likes to worry about the SMASH!

Damn right. Far better than Inv!

PFFT!

Well I'm an advocate of the "Energy Aura doesn't need Aid Self" corner, so to me it looks just fine. If you do want Aid Self though, I'd recommend dropping the Passives and pushing back Whirling Hands and Energy Cloak to fit in Aid Self and Aid Other / Stimulant.

Well, using your powers (which aren't too dis-similar to the ones I chose/plan to choose) here's how I'd build it:

Villain Plan by Mids' Villain Designer 1.21

I'd go for Rad for the -Def, but I just love Energy damage

Sounds like a plan - that is, if they aren't total pants sets

WOOT! Not far to go until GD... Nightmarer, it'd better be good or I'm coming for you

24 powers (including the 2 at lvl 1)
67 slots

You must know some awful PvE players then

For Zombies and Grave Knights, I'd say 3 Nucleolus (Acc/Dam) and either 3 Lysosome (Acc/Def Debuff/ToHit Debuff) or 3 Enzyme (End Red/Def Debuff/ToHit Debuff)

For your Lich (and possibly Dark Servant), 3 Peroxisome (Dam/Mez) and 3 Lysosome

Soul Extraction could be slotted the same as your Lich, but you'd be sacrificing frequency of use for functionality. That is, unless you slot it with 3 Peroxisome and 3 Membrane (Rech/Def Buff/ToHit Buff). Have a look here as to why.

Oh, and welcome to the game and forums :P

Enjoy your stay.
