    city is gone.

    You actually going to quit now? Or are you going to drag this out for another week?
  2. Build names have been around for a while.

  4. Undesirable piece of reality number whatever: the only people with the means to come to a conclusion about drop rates with any sort of strength are the devs.

    Ouch. Yet totally true.
  7. I've got an AR/Mental. Much, much better than my Fire/Elec, at least for my playstyle.

    Zombies/TA is a combo I don't see very often, though a very fun one.

    We in "the biz" like to call it the Post Office. (ie. if all else fails, DIY).

    This I agree on.

    So far I have yet to see a decent alternative (unless I am forgetting something awesome, which I very well may be).

    You should really read the original book (Heinlein is awesome).

    To be honest, I have rolled controllers on numerous occasions, and I really dislike them. Defenders are much more my choice of "support" role, at least on hero-side.

    A nemesis is very different from Lord Nemesis.

    Bracass = Lord Nemesis?


    ... everything suddenly makes much more sense.

    Either the portals in the Grandville Tower, or give Grant Naylor (out in Nerva) a budget increase.

    Another thread derailed! Where will the madness end!?
  16. My concerns have been alleviated. Lets go with "unreadable".

    Defenders are still sought after.
    Healers = H, Defenders = D, Useful at high levels = U.

    H = !U, D = U, therefore H != D.

    Defenders are not (just) healers.
  18. Can anyone understand what Bracass is say? I can't.
  19. Why do we not get rid of old people? Because the paperwork would be horrendous.

    Why invite a Defender over a Controller? Dark Miasma

    Sure... if you are only looking at secondaries. Most defender primaries force-multiply others damage, by either damage buffs, to-hit buffs, endurance and recharge buffs, as well as effects on enemies in the form of defense debuffs, resistance debuffs and soft-controls to keep them grouped.

    Defenders don't just decrease incoming damage, they increase outgoing damage too. Survivability is not the only thing defenders are good for.

    Yes, they do need a new inherent, but only because rewarding you for hurting your teammates is not a good idea.

    It's even referred to as "con plague."
    Force-multiplying with Swine Flu is Bad News, though.
