    I don't blame you, they only said that constantly multiple times.

    Notice what I said and what the OP said about also looking for fun combos, and not only the best of the best?
  4. Well, you asked for the best of every AT, but then said combos we find really fun, so here goes:

    Fire/Fire scrapper - absolutely ridiculous when fully built with IOs/Incarnate stuff
    Plant/Thorn dominator - very fun and so effective on teams
    Fire/Fire dominator - can outfarm any melee toon I have ever made
    Thugs/Traps mastermind - needs no explanation really, just really fun combo

    I have exactly 20 level 50s, and these were the most fun ones. I played a lot of my stone/dark brute also but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to devote a lot of time/money into it.

    True. As much of a fan of this game as I am, playing for nearly 8 years straight, I have never played any ME games and if I had the money I would be playing SFxT over issue 22.

    Then again, I wouldn't put it past them if they still lowered the damage or gave it a long activation or a bad secondary effect.
    Doesn't matter, we already have a smashing one so this is just a request for theme options, which I will always agree with.

    You guys need to remember that a new judgment power is actually like 9 judgment powers due to the tier option possibilities.

    Zwillinger posted it that way in reference to the scale - he did it on purpose.

    JayboH,

    Thank you for the update on this issue.

    As to the character slot bit, those are no longer provided for yearly subscriptions to City of Heroes. Global character slots that were once given out for each year of active service were calculated for all existing game accounts at the time of City of Heroes Freedom's launch back on 9/27. More specifically, this article covers how character slots work for game accounts:

    Answer Title: Character Slots
    Answer Link: https://help.ncsoft.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8115

    There's a segment on that page that addresses the year-specific character slot part, and it says:

    "If your account was active before the launch of City of Heroes Freedom:

    •A Going Rogue serial code is worth 2 extra global character slots. This includes codes from boxed copies of Going Rogue. However, the code must have been applied before the launch of Freedom.

    •Other editions of City of Heroes or City of Villains purchased before the launch of Freedom will not grant additional character slots.

    •Accounts created before the launch of City of Heroes Freedom will receive one additional character slot for every year (12 months) that it was active. This bonus does not count time after the launch of Freedom."

    The kind of character slot accrual that your'e referring to (1 per year) was part of the former Veteran Rewards system, and that has since been replaced by the Paragon Rewards system. This means that your game account already has everything that was due for it, for the history of membership/subscription service to the game, up until the point of launch for City of Heroes Freedom.

    From this point forward, the only area for potential concern is when it's time for the monthly-based VIP rewards to be applied (server transfer tokens, Paragon Points stipend, and Paragon Reward Tokens). I use that phrase (potential concern) loosely, because as long as the game account remains on an active VIP subscription those items will award on a monthly basis.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Regards,
    GM Grackle

Executioner's shot is the second slowest ranged attack in total animation time, and tied for the slowest in damage delivery with Bitter Freeze Ray. This of course ignores Snipes.

    I don't think that Hail of Bullets will get changed, however Bullet Rain and Piercing Rounds are good candidates.
    That actually makes me think Executioner's Shot is fine as-is.
