ok so fiction is not real. When you look at fiction that does not take place in our natural world you look not to see if it is realistic but whether it is plausible enough to keep you interested. I could be bugged by the fact that we never heard the generators. Those suckers are loud and would have attracted zombies anyway. Some people just can't suspend belief long enough to enjoy something like zombie horror.
On that note there are things we don't know. How long was he alone? When did the evacuation occur within the time frame of the protagonist? Was he abandoned 2 days ago, a week? We know that the hospital was occupied recently. Those bodies outside looked only a few days old. He would have vomited if it had been longer with that many rotting corpses.
Loved the show personally. They seem to be following the comic perfectly excepting some editing changes for drama and mystery.
I also recommend the marvel zombie books, as that was a fun read and the tie ins to the regular and ultimate universes were great! -
It goes both ways. No one man has biceps as large as Captain America and he is technically not super strength either. Show me someone with Batman's barrel chest, with his proportions, in real life.
On that note yes witch lace looks completely ridiculous on the left side. I've done it and burned a costume change token immediately. -
Don't forget to get the atlas medallion also. It's super easy and you can get it very early in your career.
Here are the directions

It's always a good idea to stick 1 end reduction in your attacks until you get to frankenslot the attacks out.
While very modest you should check out Desmodos's guide linked in her sig also -
This is an ongoing bug lately, and it really needs to be made a sticky.
Make a macro with the following command whenever they get stuck and unresponsive
release_pets
Macro that or type it in as a slash command and it will kill your pets instead of dismissing them. You can resummon and they will act nominally again. -
Darn it yall made me roll an ENG/ENG blaster. FUN!!!!!!!!!
-
Siren's song is a bit limited with traps. AM wakes everything with a dot
-
Later lead wih Seeker Drones so they take the alpha. As soon as they start shooting at the drones run in and plant the PGT. The -to hit with the FF gen will keep you safe
-

Drop a concealment pool power and move an LOTG into Vengeance. Move those slots and procs into health. With new new power slot pick up the AOE root from the patron pool. It helps with traps/sonic so you can finally deal with runners.
PGT should be 4 BG a lockdown proc and a damage proc, or the last slot should be moved somewhere else. Or 5 slots of the purple, and the lockdown proc.
I know people love the AH proc in acid mortar but isn't it a drop in the bucket on a traps/sonic? Consider 6 slotting Shield breaker there for good enhancement and bonuses. It should free up a def set elsewhere. Pick up a second attack. At the very least it will be more useful than a 6 slotted SS. Shriek maybe?
With enough recharge in the build you can have 2 triage beacons out so you don't have to chase regeneration bonuses as it will be a drop in the bucket.
I get what your doing with scorpion shield. It's you def debuff protection against RomansOn that note you only need slashing, energy and the 3 positional types at or over the soft cap not every typed.
I worked around your shriek shriek concept but moved redundant powers and slots around or out. Also got how fit in there 5 slotted and kept you the posi in caltrops (ugh) ! If you can lose the recharge from that posi you could slot an another attack. The sad part is that this is close to my build on defense totals and I have both immobilisers slotted as well as shriek, shout, howl, and scream.
I found an old thread thread theorycrafting on optimal chains for defender sonic attacks. It isn't about DPA since defenders have low damage anyways. It's about stacking the debuff in a sustainable chain. Something like shriek, shout, shriek scream gives highest amount of debuffung across a sustained chain (I think someone will correct me on that I'm sure). Think I remember silveraldo stating shriek shout shriek (something else that does damage from an app) repeat would be the highest for a defender. If I can find the thread I'll post it.

Well Columbus was both wrong, cruel/genocidal/enslaving, and Catholic. The English were most definitely not Catholic, though just as blood thirsty and cruel. Combined with the fact that he didn't draw the maps of the Americas, Amerigo did and other map makers eventually named the new lands, in the new maps, as America. Amerigo was also the one to coin the phrase, "A new world".
Those truths, ignorant insistence that he was actually in Asia, the fact that he was eventually arrested for atrocities he committed (that he had indeed learned from the catholic conquest of the Iberian peninsula earlier), and that he tried to get 10% of all profits from the new world ensured that the lands would not be honored with the name Columbia. Keep in mind that he was arrested for what amounted to atrocities then.
He was a cruel genocidal en slaver as were the rest of the Catholic Monarchs and the Europeans. It is an understatement to say he has not been romanticized a bit since then. -
Quote:Doesn't that fail the mission, requiring you to start again if you want to get into Cimerora?
You fail the mission and then get the salvage as soon as you respwan in the hospital. Montague Castanella then gives you the next mission. That's how a lot of teams finish and how the devs "fixed it" already.
I personally stealth past her rescue, and find the chest 1st. I then clear to her from there. This lets you complete the mission without ambushes. -
Pretty sure a lot of debuffs break mob moral. Acid mortar is DOT, def debuff all, and resistance all, repeated. Caltrops makes them stay and take a few shots from it. It makes mobs run far and wide. PGT will help somewhat since they will be held for a bit. There is a reason there are a bunch of Traps/Dark fans. Rejoice that defenders can get a AOE immobilize in the patron pools.

I believe this next link explains it clearly. It is a colloquialism.

The difference between COLD and FF. On the Buff front only......
Assuming 4 IO's worth of Defense in the shields (to show what they can do at the ED Cap) and slotted maneuvers on a defender.. Assuming the team lets you buff them.... And they stay near you....And you buff them on time.
FF
Def
all but Psi 46.6 (capped at 45)
Untyped Psi 21.75
40% Toxic Resist
Tons of knockback/Knock down and some stun
Chance to hit 5% unless it's untyped Psi (or devouring earth/Rularuu/Auto hit AV Fluffy etc Everyone hates these)
Cold
Def
All but Fire,Cold, Psi 37.34
Untyped Fire, Cold and Psi 13.04
Res
29.9 Energy
39.9 Fire
54.9 Cold
+535 max HP's
20% Toxic
Chance to hit 12.66 unless it is untyped fire cold and PSI (or devouring earth/Rularuu etc)
Chance to hit difference 7.66% higher chance to hit a person buffed by an Ice defender (assuming of course they let you, are standing near you, and you remembered to buff them). Now add 1 night widow to the team. Congrats everyone on the team is soft capped.
I am of the opinion that this is a silly argument everyone keeps getting into. Find the power set with the most fun extra's for you. They both offer a unique play which is more then buff every 4 minutes. Inherent stamina and Ninja Runs means you can easily take Everything from the whole powerset including the stinkers now. Your blasts are meh fun compared to lining up a Heatloss so that blasters and controller can start doing rolling nukes. It's less fun that a FF er using Force Bubble to Block a hall way from around a corner to stop a devouring earth ambush saving a retreating team
I'm looking at that penultimate mission in the numina TF before all the shield users figure out they need inspirations when they agrro 3 8-man spawns of devouring earth. -
Well the really big thing about the Hulk is not on the mind of many any more. He is the metaphor for the power of the the nuclear bomb. That is how he became the Hulk in the first place. Hulk constantly being stronger than Gen Ross's army, metaphor for how the bomb is more powerful than the standard real world armies.
Since it was established that he was wacky top dog due to literally being the bomb, you got power creep over the years. Bruce Wayne is still about justice about his parents. Spiderman, power begets responsibility, and Superman is still about aliens being for truth, justice, and the American Way.
The Hulk, is still about nuclear deterrence. Society doesn't obsess over thermonuclear war like it once did and of course some people could care less about that concept. So that leaves just the SMASH! and some could care less about that also.
Personally I loved me some of The Incredible Hercules. -
I think your doing a great job! On that note Sleet is available at 26 on a defender not 28. Feel sorry for controllers and corrupter trying to solo with cold and getting sleet at 35
-
I'm guessing that technically the system works by 'ssk'ing the team to 49, and then the TF would cap at the max level of 40. It is like normal content except with a max cap. If your past it then you get the tf cap
edit: and Krogoth is correct the team Leader can raise the difficulty at any time. -
Quote:if by "a heck of lot better" you mean "faster," then you're correct.
When I said "It solo's a heck of a lot better than FF", yes I meant faster, just as safe, and more efficient. What metric do you use while solo?
It minimizes down time. There's knock back/damage and area denial. There are debuffs (-def, -dam, -Res, -speed, -recharge, -to hit, and -regen/w an aoe hold all permanent with hasten and slotting), and an included regen buff in addition to status protection and defense.
Soloing with FF you get the same +defense/status protection, knockback with more knock back, and a knockdown/AOE, a O noes/stealth power, and a phase.
Not that I think we should be really discussing the solo-ability of support sets, I don't think it would be incorrect to say it is not less safe than FF while soloing, as I think your implying. Heck traps can get PFF from Mace Mastery for a `O noes` button, until the next patch anyway
These arguments occur only because it seems hard to quantify support sets in a way that we can compare them to each other easily
(except ta and traps).
For instance, defense is quantifiable. 45% is quite nearly an I win button in most circumstances. It's easily observable and obvious in game once you get there. Now how do you compare FF to Empathy? Whats better a defender version of thermal or Sonic? What is the quantification of status protection? Is defense the only I win button in the game? What is recharge worth? Scourge?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's all subjective. Some think I can softcap the team so it's awesome and others think that's all it does it needs to be more, and is not a fun set. And yes I have seen FF trivialize some of the games hardest content and factions. I have scrappers and blasters that have been buffed by an empath and made into a bloody handed god. I have been on a team with 2 rads, a cold, and a traps doing a khan that killed Reichman so fast that he died before 3 of the other av's had unfrozen yet. Is that safer than FF? -
Quote:I know you meant sonic but......I agree with Tex regarding Turbo,
Here are a couple of my favorite aspects of FF;
Solo: You get personal status protection. Only one other defender primary can say that and it does not allow you to solo nearly as well as FF. I took medicine pool on my Bubbler (He is tech origin) and in the middle of a nasty fight I can turn on PFF then Aid Self, drop PFF and continue where I left off. Its like a hold button. I love that.
Teams: Because you only need to hit your teammates with 2 bubbles every 4 minutes, you get to spend ALL of your remaining time being Offensive. There are no words to describe how much more enjoyable that is compared to playing other buffing sets (Empathy, Kinetics) who need to constantly be alert to the teams needs and often spend a majority of their time refreshing buffs. So even though the common wisdom is that FF is not an Offensive contributor to the team, thats just a mentality of folks who look only at what you can do for them, as opposed to what you can do for the team. Offense = Defense (in a way). I absolutely love playing FF on a team AND solo. This is not a statement I can say about very many Defender primaries, because nearly every single set has some kind of major drawback in either solo or team-play (or Both --> Kinetics).
Enjoy your Tank-Blaster
Traps always gets forgotten. Mez protection, defense, and traps that keep working even when that sleep gets through. Also, solo's heck of a lot better than FF. -

I can't believe somebody remembered that trailer from what 2004? Kudos's to your memory
Now if he could fly through the ship, and it's shields, why couldn't he stop it from crash landing right in the middle of downtown? -
Thanks I may be able to stand soloing that Illusion controller now

OK silly vet question. How do I claim vet rewards?
I got the 18th month badge this month and according to wikia I should have gotten sands/axe and the sprints by now? -
Small bug with this. Make sure your map is marked to show mission objectives. It flipped off on a new praetorian character through no action of my own.

I want to see it just to see how it compares with the recent work for hire incident causing an ownership controversy over the entire billion dollar company. Zuckerberg appears to be a greedy, and gigantic @%^.

I double you with my Mother's shoe. High heel that would crit from range with a stinging dot. She could do 2 in a row if the 1st ever failed.
