  1. Happy, Happy Birthday, Local!

    May all your controllers have perma aoe holds.
  2. While not perma PA's (but pretty close), I must say I love my Ill/Cold......and my Ill/Therm.
  3. If you have cookies in your head, you better run now.

    Welcome to the madhouse.
  4. In a post quoting me......

    But what gets under my skin is when people who don't understand what irony is start lecturing others who clearly do have a grasp on it on what it means. It's a little bit like if I, with my limited knowledge of cars, started lecturing a mechanic on the best choice of engine for a car.
    Tony, I'm not the one "lecturing". I gave my take on the subject and you've bowed up and given instances in your life where you've argued with people about things you know are fundamentally correct. (None of which actually have anything to do with this debate mind you, so I'm not sure what they were intended for)

    Now, I've read your sited material and still don't agree with you. I'm not discounting what the material says, from what I read it doesn't back your argument either.

    The Gift of the Magi is a great example of irony. We totally agree on that one. A fly in wine, isn't. The two aren't even similar. I've been polite with no snark or flames used. And I am one of those people that will admit being wrong and apologize if needed. But this is one time where I hear your argument and I still don't get it. I'm sorry, but I stand by my previous statement, even after carefully reading your sited materials.

    I really don't understand how Ironik saying "MentalMaden is absolutely correct and you are incorrect about irony. Sorry." is snarky. Heck, I'm just happy Ironik agrees with me on something for once.

    Hey Zamual, whatÂ’s the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy **** on the walls and the mozzerella sticks?

    Heh, nothing wrong with any of that. I'm going to look over my fire/storm build (crazy crazy end hog) during lunch and compare and give you my thoughts after I've gone over both. I already have a few things I've noticed, but I'll wait until I can consolidate it all down to one post.

    Going over the build now.

    Edit- Is this your current build or wishful thinking build. i.e. it ain't cheap.
  9. Wamp, are you noticing this happens at a particular time? Zoning, loading missions, mid combat, totally random?
  10. Tony, I think you might be pushing irony a bit far.

    Rain on a wedding day isn't.....well it's pushing irony for the sake of pushing something to be ironic. But it's hardly ironic. It's a bummer, disappointment, etc. but calling it ironic is stretching the definition both of irony and wedding. Nowhere in the definition of wedding is the word sunny. Scheduling an outdoor wedding comes with risks of bad weather, but not irony.

    Irony is if you had rain during a Clearskies Festival.

    What do you have that you can't take both. I would think it would easily fit.

    (I hope it's not the fighting pool. If so your epic shield is plenty of mitigation with a plant/storm. And it would explain your end issues too.)

    (Do you have kb enhancers in tornado?)

    Ack, missed the plant post.

    Answer to your last question: both.

    Is this a fire/storm by any chance?
  14. If you do ever "get Hickman" I'd suggest an intense round of antibiotics and a soothing balm.

    Ding!!

    Gratz, PL meh.
  16. My reason wasn't due to mechanics I just meant that the only buff that has a prompt is magic fortune (a temp power) and all standard buffs from primaries or secondaries don't use prompts. Teleport isn't a buff therefore I didn't mention it. In a world with debuffs attached to buffs would need prompts for all buffs, which will lead to either a bunch of annoying pop ups (not fun in combat) or getting debuffed without choice.
  17. I think the main issue with debuffing teammates is the fact that currently non-temp buffs can't be denied by the ones having the buffs cast on them. So in theory a few players could stand around (a raid lets say) and debuff the bejesus out of players without "permission" and ruin things for a lot of people.
  18. While personally it doesn't offend me, the cursing to a stranger like that pointed out in the original post is just bad form. It also sounds like the team leader was trying to behave above all the drama only to get "bite me" from the OP. If it's really that important that people "lurn 2 play" and play the way you want them to maybe try acting like a grown up and set a good example. Just saying.
  19. Happy Happy Birthday
