I'm running a Thug/FF now. At level 14 all of his minions have 21% Defense to all with one Enforcer. Can't wait for the next one and my Dispersion Bubble.

Logitech.

The LX6 is old, and I still use it.

(Mighty Mouse my ***-- and that's coming from a die-hard mac user.)

Man, you must REALLY hate Norman Osborne.

I'd look a gift horse in the mouth if it was only one quarter of an entire horse.

The Bruiser is essentially a Super Strength Brute. He generates Fury and is a melee combatant. When fully upgraded, he has KO Blow, Foot Stomp, Jab, Punch, Haymaker, Hand Clap and Hurl.

The Enforcers have their own Leadership pool, and it's incredibly effective. Slotted with one +Defense IO each Enforcer will bring about 10% defense to all, making for 20% defense when you have both. They also have Tactics and Assault.

The Arsonist is your level 18 Tier 1 pet. He's essentially a Fire Corruptor. His abilities can Scourge, and he also has Fire Patches (like Burn) that will rip enemies to pieces. Because he is almost completely AoE, he dies ALL THE TIME. Pain Domination has lots of healing, so it helps to keep the Arsonist alive when he inadvertently takes an alpha strike.

I mention ToHit because World of Pain has a +ToHit component, which will stack with Supremacy, Tactics and the Enforcer's tactics. The Bruiser has a great chunk of inherent resistance, so WoP will also aid him.

Lots and lots of ToHit, the ability to heal allies that have a good chunk of inherent defense (Enforcers), stacked +Damage, putting Painbringer on the Bruiser, Anguishing Cry coupled with the gobs of AoE, the ability to use Share Pain on an enemy and reap the damage bonus with your Patron/inherent attacks, actually being able to keep the damn Arsonist alive(!).

It's incredibly synergistic.

H.P. Baxxter disapproves of your Decaf.

I'd expect that from Interface.

No. It would be like taking Sonic/Thermal/Cold and skipping the two shields they offer.

Take them and use them, regardless of what magicj says, because quite frankly his reasoning is unquestionably flawed.

"I'm a radiation emission user. I have an X-Ray machine, an MRI, a defibrillator, adrenalin shots, two devices that can cripple your enemies, a giant dampening field, choking radiation gas, and this band-aid right here."

Looks good; I took Vengeance because, quite honestly, I'm going to team. Usually it'll be a Duo.

Cold meds ftw! Breathe, my brother, breathe! I had a level 41 Thug/Traps, but he became conceptually boring (that and everyone I played him with decided to stop playing with him). Since this was a time before the Rename tokens (and the online store) I deleted him. Mistake, I know. My fiancee has a 35 Thug/FF and the character is just unstoppable.

I didn't know that. Hm. I'll have to look at what to swap out. Can I ask you all something? What makes Repulsion Bomb a good choice over Detention Field? I feel like, if I were to drop anything for Detention, it'd be the Bomb.

You have won one (1) internet.

I'm sorry man, but if you're going to call people on making insults, don't turn around and throw them back.

My Bots/FF friend and I are sitting on a MoLRSF badge. I firmly believe that were it not for his added defense the Phalanx would have shredded us regardless of what healers are capable of.

Hell, man, why do you think people prefer to pop a cluster of purple insps rather than green ones?

I'll admit I get a little mouthy. If I do it I usually take it back later, provided I don't encounter a work emergency.

I would still recommend Insulation/Deflection for MM's simply for the benefit it provides just the pets.

I've never seen that done in raw numbers due to Insulation and Deflection having Toxic Resistance and End Drain resistance respectively, two things which aren't affected by Power Boost. Last I checked (and I remember an old thread complaining about it) if your power has an aspect that can't be boosted, the entire power can't be boosted.

Edit: Well I'll be damned.

My mistake aside, that still doesn't account for a Granite Tank's utter lack of Psi Resist, and the fact that you can't heal a dead ally.
