Eh, while a new system like this would be sorta nice to have i suppose, i don't think it'd be particularly needed.

I mean, Raptor Packs are easily gettable at any level from either Firebase Zulu/Shadow Shard for Heroes or Grandville for Villains so missing it is a minor inconvenience only.

Hmm..

Can't say it wouldn't be nice to get 'something' if you remade a level 50 character.

As in some minor buff/special title or whatever might be nice to have, though how it could be mplemented, i have no real idea.

That said, i doubt we'll ever see anything like it done so..

Had two slots available, store goes down --> poof go the slots.

And i really wanted to make a new character too.

Gotten some random lag, disconnects and such on Virtue lately, but i kinda thought it was just me.

That's funny, as i'm on Virtue and am having no problems whatsoever entering missions.

On the blueside though so.. *shrug*

Well, it's nice to know i wasn't imagining the global chat issues.

Great post!

I mainly play either Team Fortress 2 or Street Fighter 4 (both on PC of course), though on occasion i might play something else too.

1.5 billion?

Sheesh, those things really that pricey these days?

Mmm.. guess i'll skip BoF then, as i suppose i can pick up Fireball from Blaze Mastery later if i really feel like FSC isn't enough AoE damage on it's own.

In addition, dropping BoF let's me grab up Tough earlier, which should improve survivability at 'lower' levels to a degree, at least till i start grabbing up IO's and all that is.

So thanks for the advice folks, t'was all muchly appreciated.

Hmm, so the advisable thing would be to take both Breath of Fire and Fire Sword Circle for maximum AoE goodness?

As i was thinking of skipping BoF, since it wasn't PBAoE in favor of grabbing another ST attack maybe, but seeing as i haven't figured out a build yet i'm still kinda on the fence about it.. *shrug*

And talking of builds, anyone happen to have a decent one they'd like to post here?

As per the topic, been wondering about how well do the sets match up together and all, as i have a Brute (SS/Fire) whom i haven't played in the longest of whiles, so in the interest of rekindling my interest in the character, i figured i'd remake him as a Fire/Fire Scrapper since in I16 we're getting the Blaze Mastery for Scrappers, so it'd be a nice, thematic match all the way to the end.

So that said, are Fire/Fire Scrappers any good?

I mean, i know /Fire isn't the sturdiest of sets, but it does get a nifty heal so besides that, how survivable is the set?

Basically what i'm getting here at is that what level of performance should i be expecting from the set(s) compared to say.. /Dark, /Regen or /Shield for an example?

As per the topic, is there a suggested slotting for this power or is good enough right out of the box?

If not, then how many slots people usually put in it, along with what enchs? Maybe an EndRed or two coupled with some RechReds? Or would a Heal/EndMods be more useful there?

Or maybe slap some set in it? Bleh, can't really decide so...

How about this one? Tweaked the build around a little..

Mainly swapped Gale to O2 Boost, took Proton Volley instead of Neutron Bomb and though i tried, i just couldn't fit Aim in. Also, is Aim that crucial anyways? I mean, how much use would i get from as it doesn't really last that long or anything..

About the Epics, how useful are they really? PBU's usefulness i get but would it be possible to skip maybe the rest or would i just end up suffering in the end game?

Again, thanks for all the advice

Well, as one of my intentions was to go with 3 slotted Steamy Mist, CJ and Manouvers for +Def as it would, according to the planner, give about 17% of Def to myself along with about 13% for the team. So would it be wise to go that way or would the slots just be wasted and better used in other places maybe? Like in Total Focus or Tornado for an example?

For the Rad blasts, Neutrino Bolt i figured could benefit for an Acc SO/IO along with an RechRed one as though the damage is low, it does stack up with time. Cosmic Burst was taken for the stun i think, Neutron Bomb for some ranged AoE debuffing/damage and Atomic Blast for the hold/debuff/damage.

Now, why i left Aim out was that i couldn't really see a point to pick it up over some other powers, though again, as my experience is not too stellar in regards how to build a Defender, i might have made a mistake

Other than that, the suggested slotting for the Storm powers along with everything else looks good so thanks to all for the advice as it surely helps

Greetings all, as i haven't got much experience with Defenders, i found myself in a slight (well, not so slight really) pickle with my intended build and decided to bring my predicament here, to be poked and prodded by all the folks who lurk at the forums..

My main problem is that i have no idea how to slot the Storm/** side of the character. The **/Rad part is somewhat easier to do i think, but still, would it be worth to slot the blasts etc... with DefDebuffs or would it be considered useless?

Now, although i think have at least a semi-decent build worked out, tips, help and advice would be greatly appreciated as i'd hate to find out somewhere in the mid 20's or 30's that the build just ain't gonna work out in the long run.

So thanks to all in advance.

No, my young and ignorant friend, this is not what naturally happens when one sits at a computer and begins to type. This is what happens when a 12 year old sits at a computer and begins to type. Clarity and intelligence are sacrificed for brevity and some ineffable form of 'coolness'. Come back to us when you have completed high school, and perhaps we can engage in a civilized conversation.
