Well, as others have already gone the "Why pre-built" route, I'll throw out a vendor that I went with for a laptop a while ago that seemed to have some nice prebuilt desktop options. It was through IBuyPower.com

The laptop I got through them was quite beefy (for the time) with gaming in mind, and it worked quite well overall. It was a bit less than other places (Mainly Alienware) in price while matching specs.

Except your chem rounds have no similarity to the way the actual chem rounds work. They don't inflict -Resist as your states, but instead -Damage.

So, close but no cigar.

On topic, with such irrefutable proof I can not argue against the obviousness that blueside is in fact dead.

Again, you're not L-Rodding close enough to the enemies to get the full (third) tick of damage.

Got on a team of six villains that was able to spawn the Winterlord and promptly killed him. However, we did not get a way point nor a marker on the map for where the giant present was located, thankfully it spawned right where the Winterlord was where we then waited for the Giant Present to allow us to enter the realm. We had asked for backup over the global channel, and didn't get any. Once the giant present let us enter, we were able to fight Lord Winter.

There was no indication of this zone being a timer at all, so if it is supposed to have a timer please add it. With just the six of us we managed to get Lord Winter down to 48% life or so, had to kill two of the Winter Guardian's to unphase Lord Winter. At that point, we got a warning to please exit the zone, and two minutes later it kicked us all out on our butts with nothing to show for really. If this zone is not supposed to have a timer then whatever kicked us out needs to be fixed

I would like to comment that I was playing as a DB/WP Brute, and thanks to Brad's bubbles, I was sitting at the Cold Defense cap. As such, Lord Winter spent the majority of his time whiffing as he tried to attack me. I understand the goal was to make him challenging, however I found the mag 100 Hold (ala Ghost Widow), and whatever it is he used that causes TWO toggles to detoggle immensely annoying without being the slightest bit life threatening though that might just be due to the secondary I was playing (Yes, I am IO'd, no I am not uber-IO'd, I went concept and stacked a bunch of +RunSpeeds, I do not have masses of +def or anything that would increase my survivability above that of base-line Will Power).

Since powers that trigger detoggles have been removed from the game some time ago, this new Lord Winter having this mechanic is incredibly counter-intuitive, when I saw someone ask in team why his toggles dropped, I looked at mine, and that's when I noticed I was missing two as well. (Mind Over Body, and Indom Will) I quickly mentioned to the team what was going on of course. I then spent the rest of the fight paying more attention to my toggles on my hot bar, than what was going on the screen itself when Brad had mentioned that we weren't doing damage to him anymore. Turns out the Northern Lights are buffing the Lord Winter, so I kept Lord Winter's attention while the rest of the team would take care of the North Lights. Which amounted to me watching my toggles, and retoggling them while keeping up with my DPS so his attention remained focused on me.

Overall I found the detoggle ability annoying and counter-intuitive mechanic, not challenging in the slightest. The Northern Lights, however, are a nice touch, it keeps the team on their toes, and gives an importance to holding the Lord Winter's aggro so the rest of the team can mop them up.

PipeSqueek forgot to mention a couple of things.

We've bypassed the routers, directly into the modem and it still has problems.

This is affecting multiple computers (3 to be exact), and it also affects MSN Messenger (But not MSN Web Messenger, go figure).

Have contacted the ISP Hughesnet who said it's not their issue, and that it's probably a proxy issue. Went to Internet Options > Connection Tab > LAN Settings, no proxy settings there, and I don't know where else a proxy might be set up, so this sounds fishy to me.

Just came in here to post, as I was to be the co-host for Dispari's costume contest today, she's informed me that she will be postponing the event until next week due to the 2x Exp weekend.

Cims have extra stun protection from their shields and from the boss's [Shout of Command]. I suspect that is what happened there.

Perhaps the former is the case, but they definitely weren't buffed by the shout because I hadn't damaged them to that extreme yet.

The way the Cims protection functions, is an AoE about themselves that protects OTHERS not themselves.

So, when the Cims are all herded up, and gathered together they are practically immune to controls (besides Fear and Confusion). However, if you scatter them up they will become 'standard' protection for their rank.

So, two minions standing next to each other won't get stunned by a mag 3 AoE Stun. But soon as they are no longer next to each other, they will be stunned.


I should also mention that this only applies when they have their shields out, so the Surgeons who never have shields do not provide this benefit.

But don't some procs have a greater chance to go off than just 10%?

[/ QUOTE ]

None of the Damage procs in this game are as low as 10% &gt;_&gt;

ToD is 15%, then most procs are 20% and some (Purples, and apparently PvP IO's in PvP) are 33%.

how would it stack to mag 23, according to mids it has 6 holds at 10 sec intervals with base duration of 7.5 seconds, that with holds slotted would only be mag 6 for a little under 5 seconds on and then 5 seconds at mag 3.

Let me know what I'm missing.

Also does it benefit from domination since it's a summon?

[/ QUOTE ]

It does NOT benefit from Domination.


What it does it creates pets every 10s that then have multiple AoE hold attacks that do the actual holds.

Yes, it will stack.

Yes, it can hold Lts and lower for that long, provided the accuracy is good enough.
