You lack mobility. Minions don't move as fast as players can, force field generator is slow, and, well, traps.

It is enhanceable, just not all of it. The power has a 100% regen buff that is enhanceable, and a 50% regen buff that isn't.

Inspector Gadget?

About facial customization: How often do you really look at a character's face? Sure you'll see it at the selection screen, but during gameplay you're staring at the back of a character's head. And most people seeing your character from the front won't see most face details because they're so small. Customization options like that mostly matter for in game cutscenes, if the game has any.

That, and whenever I play a game with massive facial customization like that, I usually end up ignoring most of the options anyway.

Being able to disengage from a target and not lose a good portion of your regeneration can be a nice benefit too. Willpower either is either able to take the damage in melee range or dies, more or less. Regen can disengage and hide around a corner for a bit/ eat the often less damaging ranged attacks of an enemy while waiting for a heal to come back. Willpower disengages and most of its regen shuts off.

And I waited a few days and got two level 25 LotG recipes for 80 million inf each.

Patience pays off! Amazing!

If people weren't willing to pay these prices, they wouldn't sell. Not to mention, trying to artifically limit the supply of something to raise prices is a great way to lose influence in the paragon market. If you see the price of something spike, either someone with a lot of inf wanted a lot of them to use for something (like say, a crafting badge), or they were willing to burn a bunch of inf to mess with market prices for like an hour or so.

Electric actually has better fire and cold resistance than dark armor does as well.

Hats for helmets/pumpkin heads?

It depends a lot on the enemy involved. Some enemies can do a lot of damage, but can bottom out their end bar on their own if they attack for a bit. Some other enemies can do a lot of damage, but will never bottom out their end bar on their own, ever. I don't really understand how they choose mob endurance costs.

Truthiness.

Hooray! It works, and you saved me some grunt work!

Eh, I suppose so. Not to mention if you really want to enhance it, there isn't a lot of difference between 2 level 50 end mod enhancers and 3 level whatever. I haven't updated my Kin/Sonic's build since inherent stamina though, and she had a *lot* of extra slots to toss around. I could probably update her build and grab a power or two that can use slots better.

Will say that my friend playing whatever/dark armor still managed to burn through his end even with a fully end modded speed boost on him. He really knew how to burn through end.

Not until someone pointed out that it's impossible.

You don't follow facts. You follow truthiness.

I had a league where TPN crashed a few days ago, didn't get to keep the 60 thread reward because of short rollback from the crash. But I sent in a petition and support restored the threads I lost (63 apparently, the bonus and a few extras from mobs? Not sure how they can tell that I lost those too). All I sent was a short message, the title said I was involved in a TPN trial crash and had a mini rollback, text of the message said I didn't even get to keep the 60 thread mid trial completion reward.

The most it'll rollback is to before you started the trial, I think. These mini rollbacks happen because your character data wasn't saved before the crash happened. The game doesn't update your stored character data all the time, I think only at set intervals and/or whenever you change (or attempt to change) instances. I remember a while back there would be some times where the servers would be unstable, and you could avoid rollbacks going too far by clicking on building doors. Clicking on a door was enough to get the server to save your current info.

Slotting up speedboost with end mod to enhance the recovery can be useful to make it so Transference is needed less as an end recovery tool and can be used more as an offensive end sapping tool. There are a few enemies with high end costs that can have a large amount of their threat taken away by draining their end bar to nothing. Or just less time needed casting transference allows for more time doing other stuff, like blasting.

Not to mention, transference needs a live enemy target and needs the person who needs the refill to be near the enemy. You're not always going to have an enemy right next to whoever needs endurance. Especially if they're ranged like a blaster or corruptor or defender.

Enemy damage resistance resists damage debuffs (if the damage resistance is of the type of damage they're dealing). I should test it sometime to make sure, but I suspect resistance debuffs, like what sonic blast inflicts, amplifies the damage debuffs given out by Kinetics.

Not sure what this Beauregard person's problem is, but I looked over some of his other posts and it seems his specialty is spewing out crap that might look reasonable at first glance (because NUMBERS! I HAVE NUMBERS!), but falls apart if you look closer. In another thread he compares single target chains for different sets and assumes 570%ish recharge required for one set's top chain. The most recharge any power can benefit from is 400%.

I duoed a good portion of the game with my Kin/Sonic defender and a buddy playing a something/dark armor scrapper. Everything low rank just melts, and all that's really needed is single target cleanup. Also against hard targets Sonic blast not only has fairly good single target damage, it amplified his damage quite a bit. Don't remember if we ever tried a GM, but we did a bunch of AVs and a few TFs.

Side note: Damage debuffs, like siphon power and fulcrum shift do are resisted by enemy damage resistances (if an enemy is dealing smashing damage, any smashing resistance they have resists damage debuffs for that type). I'm not sure when the resistance calculates into it, but resistance debuffs might amplify Kin's damage debuffs. I should test that sometime.

What sets don't rely on repeatedly blasting the same target for single target damage? That's the definition of single target.

Pffft. I have a Kin/Sonic and it works perfectly fine. The sonic blasts are great for helping out against hard targets, like AVs and monsters, and are also good for taking out bosses in normal spawns.

Yes.

"Forum cartel" is just a rank for someone with a lot of forum posts. That's it. Nothing about post quality.

Nope, scourge chance for those abilities checks at the initial cast, not with every tick. Either the whole thing scourges or none of it.

Like this?

I thought it was 4 stacks for debuffs, and 8 stacks for DoTs.
