  1. Stay with Fitness, you'll want stamina.

    I'd say pick one of either RoF or Fire Cages, you probably don't need both. And if you aren't spending a whole lot of time in melee range, Hot Feet is unnecessary as well. Flashfire is a great power, with Fire Cages, it's a pseudohold.

    Cinder can be put on the backburner till you get stamina, and I wouldn't worry too much about Phoenix until after stamina as well.

    I haven't ever played this combo, so that's about the best I can offer.

    Sleep resist

    [ QUOTE ]
    The only place that has sleep resistance aside from health off the top of ym head are the various PvP IO sets.

    getting higher than health provides will not be cheap.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, those Resist Uniques aren't cheap.
  4. got a lvl 40 Damage IO for 1 a couple days ago.
  5. It's the truth.

    Tell me about your (fake) MA horror stories.

    I was afraid of that.

    Thanks for the info

    Sleep resist

    Health provides great sleep resist, 46% or so is nothing to scoff at, but what if I want more? say, 100% total, would that mean I don't get slept at all? or it just detoggles me...

    I want my sonic defender 100% resistant to sleeps, so I never lose my toggles to that obnoxious effect, has anyone tried this? does it work?
  8. I'll throw in my vote for mind/ta.

    Though intensely clicky, you get insane controls and safety beyond any controller I've ever played. My only controller to keep my interest for 50 levels thus far as been Mind/TA, I found it neat that I could get EVERY kind of control when I considered my Nem staff as my KB, and my epic pool (earth) to give me disorient!

    I could do anything!

    (Also, my attention span is getting better, I got another troller to 49, woo ice/sonic!)
  9. I'd got Son/Rad for AV killing.

    Sonic does wonders for self damage buffing.

    I saw one in the last 5 sales. 20 mill, 17 Mill, 15 mill, 5 Mill and 16 Mill I think.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Wow, my last 2 sold for 1 million and then 50k...

    I smell ebil marketing afoot!
  11. I want a RGen tissue!

    Congrats, but a karma still going for 20 mil? I haven't gotten one to sell that high in ages
  12. (Didn't read anything but the title)

    AE has caused a resurgence of me making only Sonic Defenders.

    Take that!

    Not just the vet badges. Look for badges toward Accolades, or the Accolades themselves.

    Second accounts without vet badges will still likely have at least several of the badges toward Accolades, if they don't have the accolades.

    Also, don't just judge someone by what badges they have, judge them on their playing ability.

    Someone could be a 5 year vet of the game and have soloed almost the entire time, so not be aware of how to work in a team, or how best to use their powers to mesh with the current team.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That also works, but, as usual, my laziness makes me want the devs to do it for me
  14. [ QUOTE ]
    they already have something like that in place. it's called check their info. if all you see is AE badges and no vet badges or only up to the 3 month vet badge then that should be your first clue.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, that works to a point...I've met people with no vet badges that work the game better than 18 month vets.

    I can't guess second accounts vs. stupid people

    Poster Child, i completely forgot about the Box Version. I agree with you're idea about the little Marker. I guess it's just a waiting game, i just hope we dont have long to wait! :P Heh.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, it's honestly I think the best they can do at this point. But I also have no idea if it'd be possible on the current game engine,I know a precious little about it
  16. [ QUOTE ]
    Why wouldnt it happen? If AE is causing people to leave the game, won't they remove it seeming that they want people to stay?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They'd have to institute a recall on the box version plugging AE as a sell point.

    Also, sure people are abusing the system, and the devs are trying to make it stop, and even though they never will be able to stop it completely, they can continue to try and curtail it.

    Leaving it only to 50s, almost no one would use it.

    The only thing I can think of is a little marker that comes up next to a lvl 50 chars name that says if they spent most of their time in the AE building, or running dev content.
  17. This simply will not happen.

    I have to ask; when you say Stone/Dark do you mean Stone Armor/Dark Melee or Dark Armor/Stone Melee? I ask only because alot of folks get the correct order confused. Tankers as an archetype do have endurance issues but I would think that a Dark Armor/Stone Melee tanker at level 12 would be particularly bad!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'm confused about that as well. Stone Armor/DM wouldn't be too end heavy as long as you push Mud Pots back behind Stamina...as far as Dark/Stone...that, I imagine, is a nightmare

    Shield defense totally is too heroic for brutes, change it to Smashboard.

    Simply Awesome.

    Seconded!

    Then my brute will change from elec/sd to elec/sb...that feels so much better.

    Despite these "number" people talking about corrs beating out defenders, I just don't see it at all. I take a corr out, I feel weak, useless, and unable to do meaningful damage.

    As a defender, I feel weak, but useFUL, and unable to do meaninful damage (my new cold/rad notwithstanding, that guy burns crowds).

    I'd rather be useful than lackluster at support, like I feel corrs really are (along with controllers).

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Play something like Ice/cold vs Cold/ice both to 50 and see how well they perform both solo and on teams. It will become very obvious after playing them both frequently that the Ice/Cold supports identically to the Defender on big teams but deals significantly more damage both solo and on teams.

    It's the absolute worst for defenders when comparing Kinetics between the two ATs since defenders have a lower damage cap and lower base damage and 6 out of 9 kinetic powers remain identical for both ATs (including siphon speed, Fulcrum shift, and speed boost).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Like I said, numbers are meaningless to me. It's how it FEELS. It's merely personal appearance, and therefore my opinion can not be changed, and nearly can your "Corrs are superior" mindset.

    That's life, I wont stop playing defenders even if I'm the only one I ever see.

  22. Don't take my cold domination away from me! I loves it.
  23. Why, why does that not happen to me?

    ill/Storm?

    Well, I can't speak for PvP, but in PvE, Steamy Mist is great, and layered with Super Speed will give you full invis.

    I can only guess that in PvP illusion is "ok". Damage will be tough to put out, and mezzes don't last long (though fear might).
  25. hmm, an end sapping tank certainly makes for an interesting take on tanktrolling...

    Sweetness.
