Neuronia

Hehe.

I remember having her on my team in an 8 vs. 8, think she was on a Blaster...imagine my surprise when I see 2 Strength of Wills and tier 3 reds appear on her status bar.

Me: "Ex, you know it's Tier 1s only?"

Ex: "I brought what I had on me."

Heh.


Good times though, especially the big RV brawls with the Devs on their sig characters.

Set a Pentad match.
Get a friend with a Hero AT.
Enter the match and have your friend quit out.
Voilà, Pentad Victor!

Just did this with a few alts recently to help some badge-hound frieds.

-Drops for myself and sgmates.
-Purples I can use/sell to equip myself and sgmates.
-It's fun piling a crapload of Family/Nemesis/Freakshow (RIP)/anything and nuking the crap out of them.
-Tests my build's survivability against aggro cap.

Yes.

If you slot your two Numina in one power you'll get 12% Regen increase (iirc, think the health is at 3 slotted...)


Well...to make this a simple answer:

Say you have Health, it takes Healing sets.
You could put 3 Numina for the Health and Regen bonus OR you could put the Numina Unique AND a Miracle Unique And a Regen Tissue Unique. Or say my Rad Blast Corruptor: She has two Nucleolus Exposure and 4 'procs' (Apocalypse, Shield Breaker, Achilles Heel, etc).

Now, if you wanted to you could "Frankenslot" your attack: 1 Thunderstrike, 1 Decimation, 1 Devastation, 1 normal IO...you wouldn't get set bonuses but you would get a nice amount of Damage, Accuracy, etc.

A single power won't take multiples of a name though. So you can't slot say, two Scirocco Damage/End in the same power.

Right, so you can 'Frankenslot'.

You can add 3 Devastation for 12% Regen/2.25% Health then add 3 Decimation for more health etc.

Just bear in mind the 5x rule.

The Law of Fives

While a character can slot the same (full or partial) set multiple times in different powers, he cannot benefit from more than five copies of each named set bonus of the exact same attribute and amount. This is a stronger restriction than simply being limiting to five copies of each set. It means that if two different sets give the same size bonus to the same thing, the character can't get more than 5x that bonus even if he uses a mix of sets.
Example: The Kinetic Combat set can give +1.5% Max Health and +3.3% Immobilization Resistance. The Mako's Bite set can give +1.5% Max Health and +2.75% Immobilization Resistance. If a character slots four partial sets of both, he will receive the full total of 24.2% Immobilization Resistance but only +7.5% Max Health because he cannot get more than five Max Health bonuses of exactly +1.5%. Castle further elaborated on the rule of five in I13 Closed Beta saying that the exclusion of more than five of the same bonuses is based on the name of the bonus and not its value. For example, a character can benefit from up to five global benefits of Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Recharge Speed, which gives a global +7.5% bonus to Recharge Rate, as well as up to five set bonuses of +7.5% Recharge. That's because the first bonus is named "Luck of the Gambler: Recharge Speed" while the second is "Huge Recharge Bonus". One can find the names of the bonuses listed in the Combat Attributes window.

I'd go for a Scrapper or Controller myself. My namesake is as Mind Controller and Mind handles pretty much everything in the game (Confuses, Sleeps, Holds...).

Scrappers are great because they do nice damage. A lot of the badges are for defeats, so if you defeat stuff faster...of course you'll likely not get the "heal other" badges on a Scrapper unless you get Aid Self.

It's going to be a tradeoff. A Storm Defender might get all the kill badges, be able to get the 'held' badges and slowly get the "heal" badges with O2 Boost. You can roll a Corruptor for the same purpose I guess.

Find something you like playing first. People can help you with the kill and TF badges. The oddball badges like the PvP Rep can be farmed, the heal badges 'gamed' as well.

My main doesn't have the PvP badges because I 'was' a 'carebear' when they came out. She also doesn't have the Heal badges because, outside of a period with Aid Other/Aid Self, that never came up.

I think Smurphy Mahdoff with it!

Birthday suit pics or it didn't happen?

This, Pinnacle would be hella boring without you.

But oh, so pretty!
(Went with Stone Melee myself, so as not to completely 'gimp' )
