If you are just looking for single slotted powers any of those should be fine. Recall friend and mutation are a nice choice for helping teammates out and neither require extra slots. SI invis is a better stealth option if you are just using a stealth IO in rush, yes. If you don't plan on running it 24/7 it's also a good mule for a LotG +recharge IO. If you don't have a travel I guess SJ would be nice.

I pop in and out of melee on mine. Having a good tank on your team makes it possible.

I'm not so sure about your char slotting. The lockdown proc isn't a great choice for a ST hold. I'd give thought to two thunderstrike (whichever you feel you need for the power) and eek out another 2% recovery.

*cough* It's seismic smash *cough*

Not sure I get the Ragnorak IOs in Freezing Rain. A couple of recharges and maybe and achilles proc and save the slots (or see below).

I haven't updated mids so I don't see the numbers but besides getting end reduction you really need to build a fire/storm with +end and +recovery in mind. You seem pretty hellbent on +recharge and while its nice you are also sacrificing some powers(and slotting) in the name of recharge. While some (even a lot) is nice; it's not as vitally important for a buzzsaw. Steamy mist is underslotted. 4 Impervium armor there will get you +2.25 end and 2.5% recovery.(I'd do that in fire shield as well. 4 Ghost Widows will also get you +2.25 end (I'd then add a couple of thunderstrikes damage heavy IOs to char for a little more damage and/or recharge/end and a couple of recharge heavy IOs to cinders) I like 4 dampened spirits in hurricane; 3slotted gets you +1.8 end. An alternate slotting method depending on how slots are going would be to at least three slot FR with undermined Defenses which also gives you +1.8 end. Since recovery is based off a percentage of how much total end you have, increasing the amount of end you have is a nice way to boost your overall recovery. Then I look for all the little ways of getting +recovery and I see you have a lot of them.

This is just top of my head stuff here. Also, even as a marketeer, I really don't put a lot of expensive purples in my builds. The extra-extra-extra influence you pay never seems worth the slight increase in numbers. Take recovery, you'll pay like 10 times (or even more) for only 1.5% increase in recovery. As an alt heavy player, I'm not so sure it's worth that. If its my only toon, then I can understand. But the difference in performance at that point is minimal.

I picked a bad night to make haggis.

Very! Can't wait.

Well, I'm not sure about 'should we abolish evil?'

What I'd like to know is...........


Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?

My initial reaction?

The act of removing the "free will" from someone is just as evil.

I'm seeing multiple instances of Atlas on Guardian and have had several old friends/SG/coalition mates check in as preems. Sure seems like it.

Full Metal Jacket. Every line is a quote.

If you are going to do a show about pilgrimages of people/families, I don't really have a problem with them focusing (a bit) on the teenagers. All I ask is it match the tone and feel of the show proper, which TN is not doing. I did like the idea that the teenagers there have to grow up early, so a lot of them end up living together. There was potential there, but they missed the mark. If they have to "grow up" then make them act grown up and deal with grown up stuff. They get it right sometimes, but other times they fall back on teen show cliches. It's a missed opportunity in my opinion.

And did they change the actress playing the youngest daughter?

Blame mother nature, the game ran over only because it was rained out on Sunday and was scheduled for 4 pm on Monday (so it wouldn't interfere with primetime) and they would have been on time, but they ended up in extra innings. That said, the episode was once again, mehtastic. Honestly the teen drama isn't nearly as annoying as the creepy boss ex-boyfriend plot.

Anything.

There have been little tidbits here and there from leaks on youtube and websites. Most disappeared pretty quickly. Some of the power information is in the game that people have found using the [power] bracket thing. There have been threads that show some of these and have put together what information we've gotten so far. The devs of course have been relatively tight lipped. There have been small tidbits mentioned in some of the Ustream sessions. It's out there.

I've been back and forth with which epic I'm going to take on mine.

I'm thinking about taking a round trip on the morality train and going Mako to have me a waterspout and another pet just for some added craziness.
