Capt. Mako visited Infinity last night.

I took my 43 scrapper to PI and was forced to go to PI2 which was mostly empty -- so I headed back to Talos and got in a league. We never saw any Lusca heads, but there were two huge invasions of tentacles, plus Coralax and Arachnos. I didn't get any recipes or salvage, but I got 3? bars xp and filled my insp tray with large greens and purples. There was lots of trash-talking in broadcast and most of the people seemed to have a good time -- perhaps because clearly some people had already experienced the event on other servers and expectations had become more realistic.

We headed to Pocket D and danced and goofed around in broadcast. Freitag was busy popping back and forth between PD1 and PD2, but it seemed like almost everyone got the "Swimming with the Sharks" title. Except for a few whiners who were disappointed not everyone would get the aura code, it was a fun event and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Uh, Hyperstrike, I think the OP took Leadership for conceptual purposes, so it doesn't really matter if it fits in a min/max build.

I hate teleport as a travel power, but two of my characters' concepts forced me to choose it for them.

And GreenLantern68 -- unless you're on a Mac, you really need to download Mids. Just copy/paste all those weird blocks of text into Mids and you can see the IO sets, and how they affect totals such as defense, recharge etc. Super powerful tool, and very easy to use.

Final Results:

Acc/Dam - 6
Acc/Dam/End - 6
A/D/E/R - 8
Dam/End/Rec - 7
End/Rec 17
Proc - 12

Two of the Acc/Dam came on the last day, so the RNG gods smiled on me at last.

I've recently returned to the game -- left before IOs, so I've had a lot to learn. I've never had much patience with controllers, but while opening super packs for the Elemental Order costume set I managed to accumulate 3 WotC ATOs, so I thought I'd jump in with two sets that were new to me.

I ran DFB 3 times and I'm a nugget away from 16 and Distortion Field, which Mids tells me will also take WotC, so I'll have lots of choices for where to put the set. I'm perfectly willing to respec later and move the set to a different power, but I'd like to use it now for all the bonuses.

I'm on a smaller server and due to work schedule tend to play in non-primetime hours, so I need to be able to solo at least part of the time -- so I plan on slotting some damage in control powers that do damage.

So anyway, would Distortion Field be the best spot for the ATO, or where else would you suggest?

In some ways I'm glad it's almost over, because I got a little obsessive about running it -- and playing on a smaller server I often had long waits to get one started.

On the other hand, my kin/elec defender had a blast running it, turning any team into a killing machine -- and her -regen heal was great against the first boss in the Casino Heist. I think I taught at least 3 kin/ or /kin how useful their heal was beyond putting up green numbers.
