So i guess i22 comes out next week, plus double xp weekend is right around the corner...do i sense a surge of new dark/time lowbies?

Weekly update: Most of the JSTers have completed the shift from vil-->rog. the level range is roughly 27/28ish to 31/32ish last time i checked. Which means those of you lurkers who are blueside and wish to join us should start watching our channel for the whats going down. this weekend will most likely be finishing up tips for those that need too and maybe a tf/sf of somesort.

not to tangent, but i did buy some (namely the 24 count) good/evil booster packs. granted my numbers aren't supior as to others on the forums. but my results:

-for those after the costume pieces only...it took me 11 of 24 +/- 1 to get all the pieces. ((this was a my purpose of the packs, yes the other goodies were nice but my main objective)
-i got a lot of enhancement boosters...i think my total is near 50-60 +/-7 ((i did have some from previous token rewards))
-i got a fair amount of unslotters, but more of the boosters.
-i would say i got a fair amount of the inps...not alot but at least a couple of each color/combo for both personal and team...so i shall pop those as needed
-I got a few of the revival powers for both myself and others...which means is now a rezzer!
-I got 2 Archanos (one being the proc), 2 Keld, 1 controller (hmm, wonder who is getting that ), 1 corr (i think it was the proc), 1 stalker, 1 scrapper, and 1 dom.****
-I got 4 of the catalyst boosters...
-if not stated, i got 53+/- 3 claims for (25 merits) so do 53ish x 25 and boom there is my total of reward merits...haven't done the math yet so you get my lazy conversion has stated :P

**** For the record, i don't know if this is wai or bugged. but the last i checked once claimed, you were to be given the reciepe which could be traded/sold on the market. Well that did not happen.(?, for my confusion) Once claimed it popped up as a crafted enhancement...which means to me, that the ATIO's are now account bound regardless and that there is no reciepe form to trade. Last i paid attention to for this controversy, it was tobe a reciepe. But what the hell do i know? I got the points to spare, so i may buy another couple here or there and play around some more.

edit: did some reading and i guess the fact that ATIO's are claimed as an enhancement rightaway is WAI...just also wanted to say. if anyone is looking to complete any of the sets for alts and i happen to have a piece you need, let me know and i am more then willing to work out a deal with you (and one that wont rob you of all inf).

no one has started a final hours countdown? shameful! 9 hours till the next round of crazy mayhem starts.

(this will be the last time i use the slashies)

i believe it does. I have a beam toon on champion who is part of a small group. There is also another beam toon in the group. And if i have been paying attention correctly, there have been times when the other toon has spread my disintegration and vice-versa...thus the entire (well most of) the mob has had the effect. Again, i can't be certain.

Welcome Starfall! We look forward to having you among our crazy...i mean group.

I decided on a Ill/Time troller.

Bouncing between a cold/time corr and an Ill/time troller...right now the Ill/Time Controller is winning the battle, but i don't have a corr yet on the server.

Oh snap...the creativy juices are flowing. Time to think of what i want to make. Let the crazy begin again!

I am leaning towards starting redside...just for a change of pace.

My quick list (in no particular order):

beam (although i bought the powerset i would want an alternative "free" set for those who wish to join but don't want to spend the points/$ to get it. yes i sound like a broken record but i would rather have it said then not said at all.)
time
poison
plant control (so many creepers...so many seed of confusion...but willing to set this on backburner since creepers does take a hit on the graphics/lag)
kinetics (either has an all melee or all non-kin melee)

I too prefer range over melee...cant stand it when i keep hitting 1 over and over and seeing the bad guy just run away and no attack discharging...then i realize its a melee power and not ranged...

I am all for the abuse stacking and like the idea of the all kinetic/kin melee/energy theme...my intention of my post was to try to state pro/con/feedback in general...just with the melee defesne sets...there is not much stacking (unless we all slot the heck out of burn for fire defesne or huddle close togeather for shield) that can over lap. From my viewpoint, a melee defese team would have to focus on a powergaming build (max as much def/resit as possible, team tatics/strategy, and more focus (not buff/run/profit). the melee persepctive would be a challenge...should the votes come down to an all time manp team or an easy buff/debuff/profit... i would be all for it.

if by melee defense you mean a set the only provides def buffs: then our options (based on my understanding of the power sets) include: energy, ice, shield, super reflexes, and ninjustu...

With the new energy adjustments [all of the following is IMO and should be treated a grain of salt], then the theme is centered around more the player skill's/build not the team. As an indiviudal, one would have to make sure that he/she does not do anything to over burden the group...thus more team strategy will be enforced. No one can merely just buff, run, apprehend all willynilly. Everyone would have at least one heal with energize...but that is at later levels...

Ice armor...Simliar to above...all would have a self heal...but would be interesting with only tankers/stalkers...

shield...agian more individual focus and have to use team strategy...no real heal and if there is access to the body/energy epic pool/ then there is the second passive heal...

if you mean as the general defense set (both res and def buffs):

Then I say we may want to open up to a possible shield...so if fire themed allow a thermal per group or somthing...unlike the def set... the res gets hit constently but not as hard...thus an extra heal here and there can off set the numbers should we over aggro/a member goes down/a power sets provided heal (if it has one) is not yet recharged...

My quick to inf...
