    Claws--thanks a bunch, yes that makes perfect sense.

    For leveling purposes, would Targeting Drone slotted with three To-Hit Buffs be sufficient? I don't play blasters but a buddy of mine just dusted off his old Fire/Devices and was asking about that and I really wasn't sure.
  3. Jumpman
    Yep! I remember Smiting Dragon now I will take note of that update, thanks!

    Here's another build for variety. Not hugely different from Infini's, though. It's possible even that it was his I originally based mine off of, but I don't recall now.

    I went with Soul Mastery as it fit with my concept (for this character, all the darkness stuff equates to ink -- Ink Blast, Ink Beam, Disappearing Ink...). Plus the Soul version of Dark Blast is a great attack, and Shadow Meld is a nice little mini-elude with no crash. Oh, and Moonbeam hits like a truck.

    Edit -- just wanted to add for anyone who might take a look that I'm totally open to suggestions on this build if you have any. Thanks!

    Okay, here is yet another "returning after a long hiatus, need help" build

    Conditions:
    * Don't have much money, needs to be pretty affordable.
    * Super Jump required.
    * Midnight Grasp and Touch of Fear are excluded for concept reasons.

    Here is my first crack, sure to be loaded with problems. Any suggestions on ways to make this better and/or cheaper are most welcome. Thanks in advance!

I went Cardiac for my alpha slot and even at t1 I feel like I have to find a way to have end be an issue.
    It's not a question of need so much as want. I just found it to be a lot more fun to play.

The fighting pool is worth looking at for Tough and Weave. You need to take Kick, or Boxing, but I never use them. For epic, I would go Body for Conserve Power and Physical Perfection. While leveling up, I would focus on looking for IO sets that help end recovery due to the 5 possible toggles and adding def until you are softcapped.

    EDIT: The Medicine pool is worth looking into if you want a self heal.
    I'm a just-recently-returning player from years ago. There was a time, pre-ED, when SR could manage perma-elude. Of course that went away with ED. But is it now possible to achieve it again with IO's and such? And, is it worth it? I loved playing with few/no toggles back then...

    Posi's origin is pretty accurate, and I'm fairly certain that this term pre-dates UO/EQ, etc., and stems from the text-only "MUD"s.
  15. Jumpman
    I'm enjoying this as well.

    By the way, regarding your desire for a Sell All Button: there is a trick you may not be aware of: right click on the top enhancement you want to sell, then type "s". Instantly sells that enhancement without you having to move your mouse! You can spam this very quickly to sell a lot of enhancements in a short time rclick-s-rclick-s-rclick-s... Works with buying too ("b"), but be careful not to buy too many!

    Most buffs in this game are way too short, IMO. Most things are 2 min or less. Ugh. Can we please have the average buff time upped to 10 or 20 min?

    I can understand keeping powerful self buffs with negative ending effects short (e.g. - unstoppable, elude, etc). But for just your standard run of the mill variety buff (clear mind, fortitude, practiced brawler, etc), a longer lasting buff would be a real nice thing.

    I'm not asking for the 1-2 hour long game breaking buffs of EQ (KEI anyone?). But a 10-20 min timer would be so much better than a 2 min timer and not overpowering at all. Heck, increase the endurance to compensate even.
