SHOES are an unneeded extravagance. If you were raised without wearing shoes, the soles of your feel would have a nice leathery crust, and would be immune from getting hurt by ruff terrain. Not wearing shoes would save hundreds of dollars a year!!!!Quote:Originally Posted by Dark One
Do you want an honest opinion about cell/smart phones?
Unless that phone is necessary to your business, then I would suggest not getting either. Go get a simple prepaid phone and about a year's worth of service for something like $120. In my case, we simply don't use our cell phones (not smartphones) enough to justify spending $70 a month on them. That prepaid business will allow us to save (probably) around $700 a year.
Take the money you save and put it into your retirement account.
To me, things like smartphones and all that jazz is just an extravagance that isn't really necessary. An extravagance that costs quite a bit of money. Ask yourself, if the cost of that phone + service is something that is necessary to you or is it something that you've been told is necessary to you.
Just free advice, so naturally, it's worth what you paid for it. *shrug*

To OP - iPhones are pretty great
I just got the 4 and all the hype about the 'dropped calls' is bull. I spend hours talking to my family with no interruptions.

Just doing a respec here, and I thought I'd ask my fellow heroes for some tips and tricks on my illusion / thermal build.

Oh, I see. I thought you meant blasters in general.
You mean blasters deliberately gimping themselves and playing stupidly.
Yeah, I doubt it too. -
Quote:Um. What? Regen happens during the fight as well.Originally Posted by Brillig
dead=managed only if you want to distort the terms that badly. It's like saying dead=healing because once everything is dead you can stand around and watch the green bar go up.

Quote:I doubt it. A blaster with no buffs? Does that mean they don't use their shields, secondaries or inspirations? Yeah - okay.Originally Posted by Ironblade
You're joking, right? All blaster STF's have been done. So have all tank ones.
-
Quote:dead = managedOriginally Posted by Diggis
Not really then, as your original statement implies you can construct a team without those but it'll fail where as your statement above implies that you can't create a team without it as most damage dealers have debuffs too and killing stuff is agro management. I don't agree with that either, agro management implies you are controlling it in some manner. Blasters just remove it entirely by killing everything before it becomes a problem. There is no management, more avoidence.
-
Never run a mastermind. You'll never get sleep at night.
-
You have to 'republish' it, not just save it.
-
Quote:Lets see you do an STF with that team makeup. And by the way - Most blasters HAVE buffs/debuffs on their build, and killing everything before it kills you stands for agro management. My statement stands true.Originally Posted by Westley
No they don't. Try an all-Blaster team sometime, it's fun. All you really "need" in this game is damage. Anything else is nice, but optional.
-
I'm sick of all the emp hate. My emp is bad ***. He has almost perma RAs. He can fort 4 1/2 team members at once. He does massive recharge debuffs (psi secondary). Did I mention he wears pink?
You're acting like the second emps sign on their toons they're getting floods of invites to TFs and teams, and this simply isn't the case. If I wasn't in active channels I probably wouldn't team with him much because most folks DO know you don't 'need' a healer. Most opt for a rad or kin before an emp. Every single team needs buff/debuff, agro management, and damage. It doesn't matter where you get the three things as long as you have them. -
Thanks for the help guys.

On my demon MM I wanted to slot for more defense and resistance for my pets, and the only place I can put the ER and CtA procs is on my Hell on Earth power. I just wanted to know if simply slotting these procs - would the buffs operate like MMs inherent Supremacy, or is the aura on the pets you've slotted the IOs on?
If the buff is through the pet's aura I'm not even going to bother slotting it because Hell on Earth isn't up enough for it to make enough of a difference to my play style.
Thanks for the help guys

Wondering around a map on redside, I saw this little white board and it's chicken scratch handwriting. I'm still looking for the lung that fell out while laughing.
Can any of you guys decipher this?!

Oh I wouldn't use the totals tab. Click that button that says "View Totals." It brings up a separate window for it which is, I believe, much better and easier to look at for viewing totals.
-
Quote:Yes - but that doesn't work on the totals tabOriginally Posted by WarronPeace
There's a little button (to the right of where it says "Unlock" in your screenshot) that will shrink the info box. It's annoying, but only an issue with EATs. When I'm working on them, I just switch it back and forth as needed. Someone should PM Stoney or one of the other Titan guys to see if they have a fix in the works, or something like that.

Quote:Yeah - I did. NothingOriginally Posted by Psychoti
Have you tried maximizing the window or changing the way the powers are presented (like, 2 columns instead of three)?

On MIDS I can't see some things that are on the bottom of the screen like the damage and misc effects.
Here's a screen shot.

It only happens with my VEAT build. Is there anything I can do? -
Defense is worth farts in PVP...so I would go with regen - but if you have a laggy computer I would go with invuln or willpower
-
I'd rather have random crashes when going to the market than have to deal with this poopy new interface anymore.
FYI I ended up losing 20 MILLION due to the new and "improved" market. -
Quote:Thats a good idea...Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
You don't need to buff every 90 seconds. What you can do is every couple attacks, just buff the next character in the list.
SB is only a ONE second animation time. -
From what I saw Hell on Earth's Tohit and Damage buffs don't change no matter what you put in it so you might as well put 3 recharge and both resistance and defense pet procs.
Maybe I'm wrong... -
I happen to like the power gale but I do wish you could choose from the first two powers of a toons secondary powerset. I LOVE the TA set - but I just hate the 'entangling arrow' power so I've never made one outside of a defender. I would kill to make a corrupter /TA but I just can't stand wasting a slot to a tight build due to a power I will never use unless I'm bored or have a mass recharge debuff.

Quote:And you think your made up facts about double xp weekend are? Prices didn't go up during that time - they went DOWN because there was a wealth of people playing the game and ADDING things to the market while in the process of taking things out. You and your gang take things out of the market without putting things in. Does this make sense to your thieving mind?Originally Posted by FourSpeed
No, it isn't "proof enough" - In fact, it's not only not proof, it's not even
supporting evidence.... -

This isnt sarcasm. This is paranoia. You made yourself the butt of contempt and ridicule. "Dont let the make believe man keep you down!" However, is sarcasm.
