  1. I agree with the thought process the OP introduces. I have many 50s, my goal is to play a combo of power sets I think would be enjoyable with that ultimate goal of reaching 50. However, As I rarely play any of them (less my main/badger) after reaching 50, I find the question a good one. I enjoy the challenge of taking powers at the levels I do based on the need at the time. If I am training at level 22 and feel my character needs more def/res/mitigation vise damage at that time, I will choose accordingly. I rarely map out my toons with builders. The discovery and tweaking on the fly is half the enjoyment.

    This falls right in line with judging the effectiveness of the character at lower levels and building/adjusting as necessary. Once I reach 50, I either just shelf the toon or respec into a "50" build. But, I absolutely take exemping into consideration when I am picking and slotting. The play experience lends itself to that final-ish build.
  2. I like your idea....it's definately a fresh take on a pretty old complaint.

    I do offer this: Best idea I have heard is finally get rid of the enhancement tray and make it a tab in the salvage window....rename the salvage window something more general and make it an all encompassing "purse". Make the size of the enhancement tab increase with level and maybe even make it expandable through accomplishment/achievement.

    we are several issues past a 10 enhancement limit being even remotely practical.

    I am huge fan of fire/ but to point blank answer the question of best AoE blaster build I may have to put my vote in for DP/MM. The non-end crash nuke recharges fast and with a little understanding of proper placement prior to opening with your alpha of choice, you can meld the AOE and Cone damage of these two sets with great effect and blazing speed despite the animation times.

    Wasn't exactly where I was going with that.....he is NOT blind as that cartoon suggests.

    Surveillance sounds quite good but it depends on just how resistible it is, like how often would a boss resist it?




    yes
  10. Snake eyes is blind? I thought he didn't talk....


    hand over your nerd cards!
  11. the gun model is set as default to the AR...but is customizable in Icon
  12. I am so digging a Storm Armor Idea.....my mind went into overdrive as soon as I read that.
  13. Just the Tip - Ninja blade Stalker
    Buns N Burner - fire/fire/fire Troller
    Terra Patrick - Earth/WP/pronstar Brute



    Oh wait, those are all mine..... >_>

  16. I have just recently discovered something that works to fix this while I am playing. In any stance (not in combat) and nothing targeted. Hit the 'escape' key. Two things happen, first the power set will immediately fire. Second, I do not see the auto set power NOT fire again during that session of play.

    I would love to hear if this works for anyone else, but I will be without any communication access to the world for over a week and will likely forget I even posted this....

    Hope it works though.

    Worst Mobs Ever.

    I have not played any lowbie clockwork content in years outside of synapse TF. The constant end drain at that level is mind numbing.

    I would say at low levels, anything vahz Haas my vote.
    mid level, CoT demon lords for sure.
    High level, Malta with Rularuu bosses a close second.

    I do want to pitch the KoA. These deliciously evil honeys do not get enough love. Where is the AV?....They deserve a more dedicated story arc or TF.....And at the very least a badge.

    Take a look at the wiki info on the mission. Its been a while since I ran this mish, but I recall Baphie being spawned long before I get to where he is.

  19. bah, I just posted a duplicate of this...Ill delete it.

    It started with todays patch and so far with testing it is only when the shield is in your hand.

    and boy is it annoying.
  20. Running my Shield/SS tank....turned on toggles, turned on Jump and in travel (jumping) I am hearing a rapid sound effect that seems to be the initial 'grunt' you hear when starting a jump in a constant loop while jumping.

    I am not hearing it with any non-shield toggles on. It seems to be tied to having the shield in hand as it also does it after Active Defense has fired and I am holding the shield animation.

    Disconnect the XBOX when not using it online....I hear terrible stories all the time about that evil box hogging network resources.
  24. I have a female level 50 Fire/Thermal controller named Buns N Burner

    Many others but you asked for one.
  25. I always chalk these complaints up to one of two things.....Poor (or complete lack of) endurance management or lack of patience.

    I have run some really end heavies builds in the past and worked through it. Let go of the idea of cookie cutter building (slot and forget) and actually think, adapt and overcome your way through builds. This is after all a game of challenges.....why effective or efficient slotting is not considered as one of those challenges by so many often confuses me.
