    Interesting observation there.
  2. for everyone that hates it, there are those who don't, and then there are those who are indifferent.

    I get more of the feeling that those that hate it suffer from stupid teammates.

    Wonder if this is intended? Has anyobe seen todays patch notes?
    yeah no

    her idiot teammate got her killed
  5. Warrior option still missing from Female Bottoms
  6. I've gotten used to it, but they could of just kept the old UI and just fixed the enhancement categories to be in ABC order.

    EA was underbuffed. To me they should of given EA energize, like they did ELA. They should of combined the passives and add end drain resists to it. Then add an aoe knock up power like ice patch, called energy field where any targets that walk on it get knocked up, or it could be some sort of taunt aura, as long as the set's taunt is not connected to it's heal. Just as long as the sets only taunt is not in it's heal, after all if you need a heal, why do you want to make everything around attack you.
    Energy Melee...

    From doing Crimson Revenant's (believe that's his name) arc, BAB's Total Focus is a PbAoE, can't remembe if his ET is though...but I can see a change where ET is sorta like Chain Induction, but it's more of a straight forward jump and not bounce around.

    Energy Aura...

    Energy Drain - I would like this power to be a combination of Dark Regeneration and Energy Absorption, though would probably see a recharge increase since it would offer +heal, +end and +def.
    Dampening Field and Energy Protection - I agree with combining these but also make them defense based (somewhere between 5-8%) but with keeping the Neg/Energy Resistance

    Much like Ice Armor's capped resistance to Ice, I think all of EA's toggles should incorporate resistance to Neg/Energy, it doesn't have to be capped resistance like Elec/Fire/Ice Armor, but decently high, maybe in the 60-70% range

    So...32% (this includes slotting Energy Cloak) Def to S/L/N/E, 23% Def to F/C and 60-70 Res to Energy/Neg

    With there being a open power slot after combining two of the passives, I think a new power could also be an attack, since EA is all about manipulating energy...why not a repel type move that functions as a click attack, a mini Nova is you will. Concept is taking the enemies energy and turning it back on them, so it would debuff their damage and drain their end, but to make it more effective, the damage it deals won't be based off x-number of targets.

    Fire I am not to familiar with, but it's immob protection should be moved to another power. A tank shopuld not have to scatter everything just for a minor protection. As far as knockback, it is annoying, but it is a common hole that is easily filled.
    Always been indifferent towards the Immob protection since I pretty much always take CJ...though I wouldn't complain if it was moved to Plasma Shield.

    Ice Tankers would become kings since they already have a power that stacks defense (although it's to a maximum of 10 targets) and is auto hit.
  11. meh, wrong word, point remains the same

    ...

    Yes, it's petty and foolish. I can't help it. Most of those animations just look more 'ponderous' than 'powerful' to me, and trying to wrap my mind around using the same motions for fighting with a sword, an axe, and a mace... yeah...

    It's a personal peeve, but it is the reason why I can't stand an otherwise completely successful character anymore...
    just about every power set share similar animations

    whirling sword/mace/axe/hands and fire/ice sword circle
    haymaker, havoc punch, bone smasher, seismic smash, air superiority
    incandescent strike, total focus, thunder strike, tremor

    War Mace, Battle Axe, Broad Sword, all blunt weapons you'd use to maim your enemy with, they're not supposed to be flashy and pretty.

    just to name a few of mine off the top of my head...

    Lord Raikou (elec/sd scrap)
    Sora Megami (cold/ice def)
    Sora Yagami (storm/dark def)

    got a problem?

    anime you say?

  15. yes, but those other ATs also have access to Build Up or Rage

    while FE is nice, I do miss having some ToHit buff to go along with it like BU and Rage

    aside from Breath of Fire, I'm rather "meh" on Dominator cone attacks, with their only other good AoE being one that puts them in melee.

    I actually use "I play with smart people who ask" philosophy, still it's sad that some people make something good turn out bad.

    As it is, thats not an option, sadly. As I like the Arachnos gun set MUCH better than AR. Yes, even without the mini-nuke. Full Auto is cool, but it kinda just tips the balance for a set with too much Lethal damage that seems to punish you at later levels without some -res around.
    well they do have different arachnos guns you can pick from, imo the one with the longer barrel isn't so bad

    From playing my blaster and corrupter, maybe the Blaster/Defender version of Flamethrower could be front loaded damage, but I think the Corrupter version is fine due to Scourge. It's end cost could be fixed...maybe reduced to Total Focus/Thunder Strike end cost (18.5)

    edit: unless the Mid's numbers are off...just noticed Corrupter and Defender versions of Flamethrower are slightly cheaper on the end...not that much though...

    yeah I was solo, still odd I got all the other rewards though....would of figured my rad/fire blaster did enough damage >.>
  22. hrm...I don't remember getting a badge for Lord of Winter, though I got the inf, merits and candy canes
  23. nice! I've seen Shred Monkey with a similar build, crazy what it can do!
  24. there needs to be someone in the back shouting "show us ur bewbs!"
