Happy Birthday Ice.

Welcome back.

Got the Solo build Respecced and up to 47.9. Might have gotten to 48 had it not been for serversplosion.

I didn't forget about this guy, but I did have some other things come up that kept mebusy, one of which is trying to fix his slotting. I don't want him to be a pity spot/Veng bait on the STF.

Alright, new solo build:

Click this DataLink to open the build!

Damn it, I've seen Mids work on the new board. What am I missing?

Is one amazing writer.

The only missions we won't review are the ones that are obvious farms.

In a world overflowing with review threads, three players take a path less traveled...


Admittedly, this is a late entry to the review game. At this point, the Heavyweights have already been established, and are on their second and third threads. If someone wants to jump into the game now, they have to do something different, something to set them apart.

Aentertainment Tonight is a new snow on KJSR, a radio station that started right here in the City of Heroes. It is an on-air review show for AE arcs, where listeners get the opinions of not one, but three reviewers, DJ Rastafari-Man, DJ WRider, and myself. This gives listeners the chance to get multiple opinions, from a couple of different views. For those that are interested, the submission form can be found here. The show begins August 20th at 7PM Eastern, and will air weekly.

Hm. Looking at the Ranged Defense sets, those are all in the sixth slot, However, the biggest bonuses come from powers the Solo build already has six slotted, save for Caltrops.

It looks like I might not need to bother slotting Body Armor, since I only loose 3.2% resist to S/L. May drop a -KB Enh in there instead.

So, now I'm thinking build toward Ranged Defense in my Solo, and Recovery/Recharge in my group build. That sound Viable?

I see your avatar wolfie. If you are primarily using Quick Reply, you have to refresh the bage before you see it for some reason.

The plan was insane, the technology for both sides was rediculous, the action scenes were unbelevable, and many of the lines were downright horrid.

In other words, they nailed GI Joe for me. I was not disaspointed, and will probably watch it again.

Another thing: I'll admit I don't know a lot about IO sets, which ones are good for a Blaster, aside from apparently Positron's Blast?

Actually, this is still an SO build mainly because I've yet to get around to buying the IOs. Most of the powers that are siz slotted are done for set purposes.

I actually picked Time Bomb over trip mine because I'm unlickly to plant more than one explosive at any one time, either toe bombing on a team with Trip Mine, or setting Time Bomb solo because I can set it, pull back, and use a cone attack timed for the blast.

Actually, the recharge in Maneuvers ARE End Redux, I goofed in putting the Mids together.

Putting the Stealth IO in Sprint instead is an interesting idea, usually I take Sprint off my trays as soon as I hit 14, so I never thought of that.

47.8 thanks to a rocking ITF.

Haven't gotten started leveling tonight, but I did manage to get a thread started to try to repair McGavin's two builds in order to try to make the rest of this easier. If you're interested in looking it over, it can be found here.

My AR/Dev Blaster is on his way to 50 at this point, and along the way I managed to mess up not one but BOTH of his builds. With the consideration that I enjoy team play, while finding them often on the scarce side, one build was for Group/AoE damage, and one was for maximum Stealth and Single target burst damage. Since there are two builds, rather than put the full export from Mids, here are just the links:

Group build: Primary focus of AoE damage, with some team support (the leadership powers) Personal safety is a lower concern, because of higher probability of melee/support characters.

Solo build Primary focus, Stealth mobility and Single target burst damage. Defensive capability in greater demand

A couple of notes:

1) The levels of the slots are very likely NOT ACCURATE. Those two builds were reverse engineered from the current appearance at level 45. I DO NOT remember when I actually put them in, just that that is how they look currently.

2) I have already become aware of Stealth/Cloak being mutually exclusive. This is the first thing I plan to respec out of.

3) Flight is the preferred travel power in both cases.

You didn't miss anything Blue, this is still going on until McGavin hits 50.

Nice to see folks so eager to jump in on the TF. Managed to get to 46.1 tonight.

Oh cool, that answers a question I've had for a while, I think. I wanted to know if we could pick different colored powers for each costume, and if they're offering a token per costume slot, it seems to indicate that yes, it will be a possibility.
