    I've been adjusting to the start/stop of SS. I'm not so worried about that. I did fool around with Sprint and Swift and I found their speed boosts to be closer to equal (via timing a few runs across a zone) so I may work on picking up swift and just pop a few SO’s in there.

    What actually has me considering deleting the game entirely is the newest changes to stealth’s defense dropping too. It drops from any damage and not just when you launch an attack. The stealth and def also drop as soon as you start an attack, so a sneaky TF just isn't going to happen anymore.

    So now I have a choice of either being forced to group or creating a build with more traditional defenses and sacrificing offense to do so.

    But hey, we have more HP now and Defiance (tell me how those two are not contradictory) so it’s all good right?

    I am still fooling around with the build you listed here (it is very close to what I have right now so I agree with most of your choices) and I'll post my version if I ever decide on one.

    Hey A-G,

    How do you feel about jousting and your build in general with the latest changes?

    …specifically with the jousting technique.

    Reading this gave me hope 'cause I've been in a funk and stuck at 37 for a while now (every time I go to play it feels like I loose more ground than I gain unless I'm on a portal mission SK'd with the 50's).

    Thanks,

    You pay a premium for doing so, however; the prices for SOs from your contacts are twice the price of the same enhancement from a store...

    And price is a problem how?

    I haven't had influence problems since my teens and maybe my late 20's. Spending the influence to get those SO's lets you level easier which = more influence (as you fight more mobs that drop SO's).

    I have more influence than I know what to do with and I support 3-4 of my son's alts too (granted it's been mostly DO's but I've gotten SO's for him too).

    Just make sure to always sell to the right stores and know which enhancements sell for the most (so you optimize each load) and it shouldn't be a problem.

    As for defense with a blaster...

    This sure could be worth testing out a build or two. Nothing annoys me more than one shot deaths.

    Phenominal cosmic damge!!!
