The trouble being, every one has cottened onto impervium armor.
When I did my 1st guide I had them in there and people lauged at the fact they were only lvl 40 and I lost 2% enchancement to rez. Neve mind the +recovery and +max end. I picked up 4 sets of the 4 rez enhancing ones for about 20mil. Now you can't even get a single +resistance one for 20 mil.
So kitting out my DA/SS tank will with the 16 required IOs will set me back some where near 250mil.

As for the OP's question my answer is the same as Nightmare's, /DA if your feeling flush or /INV if you not.
I have a BS/DA is it's very very powerful. With a well thought out build my end bar hardly moves even if it does start to drop, I have conserve power for AV fights etc.
But not much in game is better that headsplitting crit on a BU, I noticed 1804 dmg to a roman the other day in one hit.....

You have to create IO's of level 25 or 30. Rather than when your toon is lvl 25 or 30.

Slightly dodgy wording I guess

You need to wait for super strength to come to scrappers, then you can slap them about like big daddy.

or as said above, MA/SR or MA/WP afteral, you can't say that Bond doesn't have will power (unless it comes to ladies....)

Was being blind.....

Hmmmmm. **scratches head**

These exports are so hard to read.
I'll import it when I get home and take a details look. I am liking some of the frankslotting. I also like the idea of getting the +10% base dmg (I've managed to get +35.5% on my blaster)

At 1st glance, I'd ad the performance shifter chance for +end to stamina.
Maybe also take a slot from CoF, smite, death shroud and soul drain to 5 slot OG as you can some nice bonus's.

I have respec'd again for MoSTF attempts so will post up my current data chunk and also one with siphon life.

But if there is just two or 3 of you and everyone else quit the TF, you would be fighting Elite Bosses.

Having said that, I'd be pretty happy to duo most of the AVs in game with me rad/sonic and a mele toon.

Thinking about it some more, 55 for posi?
We did it 2 weeks ago; myself on my rad/sonic, BK on his en/en (fully pimp'd) and BL on his thermal troller.
It was basically easy street and didn't even take 2:30hrs.

On a pug it can be a debt laiden suck fest, but with a small team of people who pay attention, very worth while.

I see in the US post linked above, that it is only the mission owner who currently gets the merits in the version on test.

As stated above, this will make teaming with like minded people quite difficult. In some instances you can go and get the same missions, but other contacts have required arcs etc. Will make PUGs a no no for people interested in merrits.

ITF looks good value to me. 25 merrits for a TF you can do in under 90 mins on INV. Big influence and big merits.

Oh and how come the steadfast KB IO costs 2.5 times as much as a karma one.

Wait until you get fully slotted up with some nice pricey IOs, then you'll barely have need for dark consumption and dark regen will be excelent.

I got told "I hope you die and all your kids get cancer" from a mouthy anoying leach when I asked him to quit the team or wait outside when he went afk rather than going in each misison, going afk and then coming back in time to move to the next mission.

My main badge hunter needs all the lvl 25+ flashback badges. If you get the same merrit rewards via this method, I might be available for team play by spring.

Also can you sell recipies in exchange for merrits?

If I'm not all wrong the blaster version of psi has the same base range as all the other blasts, 80 feet. Although I might've missed if you're talking about it compared to fire or ice blast which both have a 40 feet blast.

[/ QUOTE ]
Could be my bad, the defender versions of the psi blast powers are all listed as 100ft base, where as the blaster ones are 80ft.
I'll check tonight what the game says.

no, AR has better AOEs.

[/ QUOTE ]

True, but most of the aoe's are quite short initial range. The psi aoe has a longer base range as do all it's single target attacks (bar the snipe).
So for a pure range point of view psi would be better.

I'm not dissing AR as I now have AR/EN @ lvl 27 and it's quite good fun.

I think it would be kind of cool.

I mean once you've hit 50, got 500 badges, fully IO'd and then fully purpled a toon they tend to get left on the shelf a bit.

I know exactly which toon I would give over and I'd want him to be a lvl 50 contact in RWZ giving out missions to bag a few gerties.

For my DM/DA I would want a teir 10 power that does all it's dmg in one go not DoT......

For my en/en blaster, a proper targeted AoE blast that does more than 60dmg.

I have never understood why someone would choose to be a blaster then go and take melee powers,if I want to be close up and personal I,ll build a scrapper,

[/ QUOTE ]

Been there done that. Scrappers are too easy, being a blapper adds a bit of spice. Plus as you pointed out debt = badges and badges = good.

The biggest problem I find is that annoying stun. It lasts SO long and seems to be unavoidable, even with mez protection. You can pop Break Free's to null the effect, but it's still annoying.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a soul transfer so a mag 30 stun, it'll go through all protection unless you get multiple applications of CM for example.

Or as said above, just move out of los as soon as he pops. With my blaster I position my self on one of the walls by the steps, as soon as he pops just take a step back and your out of los.

No problem with paying here.

I know a lot of people stick with this game and love it for the huge customisable toons. Hence the devs are on a winner with paid for costume options.

As for the paid for powers, considering the lengths they go to to "balance" the game I really can't see them giving a paid for ubba power out.

I know a couple of people with perma-PA but they are fully tricked out /rad and /kin. I think the /kin is only perma with a min of 1 siphon speeed at all times.

I'll ask the ill/rad to post up his build data chunk.

On another note, I heard they are looking at capping global recharge.....

Wouldn't a Psi blaster be better suited to a pure range build?
Most of the attacks have a higher base range compaired to the rest of the sets.

Been here since a couple of weeks before i4 and I can't say I hugely dislike any of the changes.
Yes ED was a pain with no more perma hasten and 6 slotted stamina on my DM/DA, but you adapt and move on.

I really like the roman zone and I also like the shards because they are so different and a challenge.

Nothing has put me off the game (why would I be here otherwise) and I think the devs do an excelent job.

CoD does do stuff other than imob rez. +stealth, +def +perception and a handy place to put defe base sets such as lotg, karma and kismet.

I have a blaster I can bring along or a rad/sonic depending on what people think is needed.

I have been on a 5 blaster, 1 corr, 1 defender and 1 tank ITF on Inv diff setting and it took under 2hrs.

The method on the above TF was to inch the blasters and corr into 80ft range of each nictus in turn and blast the snot out of it. After they were done Rom was a wimp :P. But this tatic only works if your ranged heavy.

You don't need any AT as such, but some make it easier.

One note if you are going for the defeate rom 4 times option, get out of LOS as soon as he dies other wise you get hit by soul transfer when he res's this has a mag 30 12second stun which will put almost every powerset combo in serious drunk mode.

I'll be running an ITF next wednesday evening (730pm UK), send me a message @Dagar if you want me to save you a spot.

I'd take CJ for its Protection from Imob. Weave offers resistance not protection though, so it just lessens duration

[/ QUOTE ]

Cloak of Darkness also offers immob res and to a much better level than CJ.

I don't have acro on any of the 3 /DA scrappers. The two level 50 ones have 2 steadfasts and a karma each give mag12 KB rez. But thats only possible if you have buckets-o-inf
