    Just helpful hint, for most ATs 3 bios will put dmg at over cap.

    Sigh I am so so sad to miss this. Why you have to hold all the fun stuff on a day I told you MMP and I would not be there?!?! You hate me clearly! *goes and cries in corner*

    Highly suggest 1 or 2 people who have immobilizes (or holds). Director 11 sometimes decides he likes to run around a lot, so hitting him with benumb + immobs(or holds)= win. Also a few chem nukes would be your friend

    QFT!!!!!! Esp no nukes in COP!!! I feel like they need to let the enemies drop shards even if they do not drop anything else. The thing is too much of a pain for nothing but the end reward.

    Hahaha Tex! I do agree! I would much rather it say things like: "AGREE with Praetor White" or "CHOOSE to yell at so and so" than "Gee, you are so right!" or "You will burn!"

    Basically I would like to pick the action of the character, not the text.

    1 quick suggestion for you:

    Take the Rag chance for kd out and throw a steadfast 3% def in temp invuln, this will get you more def for your aoe and melee. If you do this, you can also relook at your ranged bonuses and see if there is something better to slot.

    This build is soft capped to smashing and lethal defense (almost everything you fight is part smash or lethal damage). It also has perma AM and close to perma hasten. I could very easily have gotten to perma hasten with decimations instead of devastations, but I was trying to make the build cheaper for you (and the +hp and +dmg never hurt!). Also have some slots left over to do with what you want (and I extra basic IO slotted some stuff which can be moved around too). It would be very easy to squeak a lot more bonuses out of this build, but again, to keep it cheaper, I didn't put them in. I figure you can get the lotgs by doing tips or converting r-merits, so that will not be a cost for you. I also gave you SS with a stealth IO, because that can come in handy! Oh and baz gaze are pretty expensive, you might be able to 5 slot the hold pvpio set (prices are a lil high right now, but put in some low bids and wait) and get the same 7.5% bonus to recharge.

    The stalkers makes a lot of sense to me (that they would be among highest to switch sides). I think that when COV started out, it may have been a popular AT and a lot of players that primarily played villains use a stalker as their badge character. If you want to "get them all" you have to switch sides!

    Just a thought!

    Speaking for myself and MP....

    Mondays-Friday are usually fine (though Friday would be the worst of those)
    Saturdays would be the least preferable choice, would have to be after 11pm est (after hami)
    Sundays after 7pm is probably okay most of the time, possibly earlier depending on which weekend it is.

    We will be away 1/16, probably 1/23, and then 2/10 to 2/15.



    As for boot camp 2, if you would have me, I would be willing to lead a team.

Due to the uneveniness of the teams it was a lopesided match.
    And the pain :P


    Thank you Loopy it was nice of you to be so generous! Best of luck
  13. Madame Pistacio

    POST-ACTION

    I really thought this was going to be a thread about the slowing devolving typing patterns of a lot of players and I was like... no Ryxx don't do it!!!!

    But this, this is funny stuff!
  19. Madame Pistacio
    Thanks Ele. I read the whole post 3 times, not sure how I missed it three times... but I did lol.
  20. Madame Pistacio
    Question: When it says we "list" that means we put our whole team roster out there and cannot change it no matter what the other team brings? Just want to make sure I know what's going on
  21. Madame Pistacio
    Thank you for all of the work you have done for the community! I am excited for you to have a new opportunity and I wish you and your family great fortune!

    Be well my friend,

    Yeah, I have to say that the spawning RWZ 2 is a great plan and should (hopefully) take care of all issues as long as it is spawned early enough.

    Will try to be there.
