    What part of 'This is a complete spoiler' doesn't compute? I'm honestly confused by this.
    Oh, you found out what happens in parts 6 and 7 by them releasing one tiny tidbit of info about part 5?
  2. I get a kick out of the new Powerball commercial, which is their version of the $6 million man intro:

    Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.
  3. FA loves Spiritual, but I see that you are against that idea, and I assume you will take Ageless to tier 4 at some point anyway.

    I guess I would go with Ideon's suggestion of Resilient or Musculature if you already have endurance and recharge issues already resolved.

    Yeah I PMed Noble Savage, Tweeted Positron, asked Beastyle, and so far no bites. I really want a bigger pic of that - or even a wallpaper!

    EDIT: apparently they might be bringing out a larger version soon. Stay tuned.

I'm just not likely to make another because I have something along the lines of four of them at various levels. But seeing as to how I don't see many if ANY other Mercs now days, I was expecting to see them a lot more in this thread.
    Are you sure? I thought that when broken down, they were proven to do the least damage. It sure feels like it when I have played them in the past - even had one bumped to 50 on the beta server just to see what I was missing once.
  6. Kinetics, Soldiers of Arachnos, Tankers, and players that know how to read and listen.

    I also enjoy seeing unique sets, like dark and ice tankers, sonic resonance players, etc.

    Oh yeah, I should have had them too - even when fully slotted it takes forever to defeat enemies compared to the other mastermind primaries IMO.

    Hey... welcome back dude! I would love to see your top dps thread get updated with the new sets sometime - Kinetic Melee and Titan Weapons. Rumor is that they may be looking at a rebalancing of EM too at some point.

    Unlike Corrs and MMs, you can have a Traps defender with ANY epic pool choice while still having:

    45% soft cap to everything under the sun or 59% incarnate softcap to ranged with near 45% softcap to Melee/Aoe.
    Permahasten on top of the above.
    Massive deep debuff numbers from seekers, Caltrops and Acid Mortor.
    Al the while not too far behind (and depending on epic taken possibly surpassing) a corrutor in damage when solo.
    Yeah but so what - it's not like defenders die like mad because they out-aggro other ATs. I suppose if you choose a team-oriented class to solo the game with then Traps might be for you. That's how I see it anyway.
  11. Does anyone have a larger version of this?

    But no. No, you had to go and ruin it. Because, let's face it. This isn't about keeping the suspense up and telling the story well, this is all about finally kicking Statesman out and getting rid of Jack's remnants. So, glory be, out come the spoilers, without so much as a by your leave or may I.

    I wanted to know who died. I didn't know. I was wondering, each arc, would this be the one where someone copped it? Who could it be?
    And then glory [pancake] be, in the flipping announcements no less; HEY EVERYONE! STATESMAN DIES! ISN'T THAT COOL?!

    No. No it is not cool. It is not cool when you RUIN the suspense of a story freaking EARLY! What the heck is wrong with whoever was responsible for this [pancake] idiocy?

    Yes, I am angry. I consider myself a writer and, as such, consider this an inexcusable error that I had previously not thought Paragon capable of. Look who was wrong...
    Please relax and stop being angry about expectations of mystery that you baked up in your own head that they failed to live up to.

    ...ok, keep being angry, and redirect it back to your own expectations.
  14. Heart of Darkness is getting buffed, but I don't know if they are touching the acc of it.
  15. Controllers. I have never liked them, and still can't stand them. I think the highest I got one is in the low 40s. I love doms though.

    Empathy - my first 50 was emp/rad and I can't imagine doing another one.

    Traps for defenders - just doesn't make sense to me. I am thinking about deleting one I have in the 40s. Every time I play him, I feel weak compared to other sets. Traps is great for masterminds and decent for corruptors, but as a defender I just don't feel that Traps is very good compared to the OMGWOW of other defender sets. Defenders are probably my favorite archetype.
  16. The OP's post makes it sound like he wants a Soldier of Arachnos. They can tank and buff the team.

    I think that it'd be a great way of honoring him, and of helping to draw newer players into the game lore.
    Agreed. Thumbs up - even though it might take a bunch of modeling work, I think it would be worth the money/manpower. I am sure they already know what they are going to do though.
  18. I am a little confused.

    I thought this was about Ice Blast, and not arguments about how one power affects a completely different set in only a PVP scenario (ie ice assault's bitter ice blast.)

    I also don't understand how anyone with an opposing view must be personally attacked by the OP.

    Actual Ice Blast is a tool set really, and everything is great outside of the debatable usefulness of Bitter Freeze Ray and Ice Storm. It's probably the safest blast set to use outside of energy blast, especially for soloing.
  19. It's that way on beta also. I noticed it but it's no big deal.
  20. Yeah, Riora is correct - it's like adding a damage aura to your character. You could always grab Cognitive if you want less damage coming in yet still adding some extra damage to your attacks.

    Why? The majority usually have gobs of accuracy at these levels - I find defense debuffs to be pretty pointless.
  22. Thank you - I remembered the SG stuff and Oro stuff but I couldn't remember what else - I have two people that I am helping that are learning the game and I was looking and missed a consolidated list.
  23. ...and I know that Oroborous use can be a giant pain. Also, what is the deal with Supergroups?
