While some people take Harry Potter to a scary degree, NOTHING matches the scariness of the Twilight cultists. Except maybe the Fifty Shades of Grey ones...

I find that some sets, such as plant controllers or dominators, don't get really fun until 26 or so. The problem is...I hafta to get them to that point...which was why I force leveled my plant/kin this weekend.

Ignore'em. People used to get angry at me in WoW for being beastmaster back in vanilla, but that never stopped me from beating most of them in damage. *Shrugs* This is a slightly different case mind, but I am sure those people wouldn't think so. Since I wasn't going with the 'best', I was purposefully gimping myself.

No one is hating, just stating the obvious. Masterminds are built around and MEANT for minions, that is the whole point of the AT. It's also just obvious that you are gimping yourself to the extreme by not taking said minions. I don't think anyone has said "Don't do it", knock yourself out. That's the point in playing a game, after all, to enjoy yourself. Just don't expect yourself to be amazing in comparison to powersets using their full range of abilities.

And judging from them losing three million people in one expansion? They are doing a fine job of killing it themselves.

Yeah, explain that to Blizzard. Please. Blizzard doesn't seem to understand that you don't keep players happy by radically changing the game. You might attract a few new players to the new style, but you'll lose people who liked the game for what it was. But the name of the game is "Dumb it down!" now days. Up to and including the new talent system. They could have easily kept the old system and found a way to incorporate the new talents into them. But instead they said "Guess what guys? Now you have ALL the talents! ((So we know exactly what you have and can balance it as such)) And the unique talents you get every fifteen levels all do pretty much the same thing, so you can just take what you want!" Meh. On the one hand, I guess it does give you some...choice, since it doesn't matter much what you take. You can take whatever you want and do it in the way you prefer. That isn't the problem. The problem is they scrapped the system that they have had since inception in favor of it, and that is not a smart move at this point.

Rant over! Sorry about that.

"...the h--- I won't!"

You've got quite the attitude, don't you? How about you get over yourself instead, and stop telling people to 'get over it'? You could have made your point just fine without that last little bit.

Just because it has been going on, doesn't mean he HAS to do it, or god forbid that people have to like it. The killing off of characters is fine, but he tends to have a certain way of Jossing them off. Personally it's not something I enjoy. Your mileage may vary.

That's true. Then I hope they KEEP a leash on him to prevent him from slipping into said 'coolness'. He did a good job with this one, and I'd rather he not screw up a good thing.

Ugh, don't joke. This is one of my major problems with Whedon, his weird Grim Reaper obsession. Course if he killed one of the main cast there'd be a good chance they'd either come back immediately, or in the next movie. But god forbid you be a likeable second string character.

That sounds accurate. Pretty sure I had mine on 0/3 and wound up with three EB's. The rest of it was a fun little struggle ((Sans the afore mentioned running enemies)) EXCEPT that part. But my minions just dropped way to fast for me to handle it ((Beast/Time at 31)). I probably could have set the difficulty down to one and done fine, but by that point I was just so frustrated that I auto'd it.

That was my intention. I run pretty much every new support set through the ringer with a merc. But this one can be thematic with a number of sets. Leaf Ninja ((Don't punch me!)), ancient robots ((Like Castle in the Sky)) , peacefully rotting dead, Hippies ((Thug/nature)), earth demons, planetary defenders ((merc/nature))...this is going to be a lot of fun. It needs to come out in the next couple of weeks.

Also, totally going to make a plant/nature and find SOME variation of Green Thumb to work as a last name.

EXACTLY. Not like it would be a massive increase, but snipe criticaling coming out of stealth would help. Otherwise, get rid of it and give them another attack. Otherwise it floats right around the level of being totally useless.

Theme aside, not really sure why they even HAVE stealth if they don't get the critical aspect. Doesn't make a ton of sense.
