Heh yup, I remember that episode. I always wondered what it would be like to see him square off with Q.



ooh..and inb4 this turns into another Superman vs Goku thread..

Right, good catch xD

Like you said, you might as well give it a shot and see how it goes. Fortunately we aren't hard locked into our choices in this game.

I personally think you'll enjoy it. It comes with so much utility and damage boosts that cant be made up elsewhere. Whereas there's plentiful other ways to boost your Defense those few last points.

This is the primary reason why I don't go the popular "Just try the same name in a different language" routine...

Sure, I will know that my character is named "Flash Bang" in ancient Greek, but odds are everyone else thinks I just typed in random gobbledygook. To me that thought is kinda disheartening.. I understand why some people wouldn't care, but it's just not my cup of tea.


Anyway, sorry to go off the track a bit. I wish you luck in your endeavor. I am terrible at coming up with creative names so I won't waste your time with my nonsense ;P

.. Oh wait, I already have *gasp* !

I like to look at it through a "time saved" viewpoint.

I respec/reroll a lot, I strip a lot of toons, having 2 extra trays has probably saved me hours of boring work. That time saved is time spent having fun, which to me is well worth the investment in the long run.

Reminds me of those pricey power-saving Washer-Dryers that cost more than your regular ones but save you a couple bucks in the long run.

I believe the OP means changing the physical level of an IO. So a person could take their level 34 Luck of the Gambler IO and change it to 25, or 50, or whatever.

Yup, was a tough choice for me as well, but once I tried it out I never looked back.

I have a gut feeling that the devs will finally fix this little oversight when they normalize and adjust all the nukes. So Defenders/Corruptors will get a weaker version of Blizzard instead of the Blaster version..

At this point Ice Storm being fixed wouldn't surprise me either.. (And RoF on Corruptors)

I hope I'm wrong.

sadly, it seems the Devs have learned their lesson and are now applying proper AT mods to Rain Powers. We saw it in Defender's Rain of Fire, and currently on test Whirlpool does proper damage for a Defender. I didn't check Corruptor, but I imagine it has the proper damage mods for them as well.

Whirlpool numbers currently on Test, for those interested;

(damage over 15 seconds)

Defender- 75
Corruptor - 87
Blaster - 131

Dug through their videos until I found this one (okay, it was easy to find; its called "warehouse").

It was quite funny indeed, I'll have to watch more of these.

This is called "ED", or "Enhancement Diversification" You can only slot 3 SO's of the same Enhancement Type (Damage, Accuracy, Resistance, etc) before you hit some stiff diminshing returns. You can slot more, but each one does less and less for you. For example, the 3rd SO yields somewhere in the high 20%s value, while the 4th would yield a mere 5% or so.


You end up with 67 Slots by the time you're level 50. No, this is not enough to slot every power with 6 slots. This is why its useful to plan your build.

Perhaps you were thinking of Force Bubble? The final power in Force Fields. It does some hefty Repel.

Indeed, I plan on trying this when I get my Sonic Defender high enough to use the IO I found.. Or when the devs finally fix the level bug (that is a bug right?? The fact that the IO is level locked to the toon which found it)

Not only does it turn it into a decent second AoE cone that lines up perfectly, but should also turn it into a very nice mitigation tool. It has a low recharge rate (8s), cut that down by half and you have a 4 second, decent sized cone that you can spam to keep baddies off their feet.

and for the love of Pete, don't go "all support" and totally screw over your offense, that's just plain silly.


I'd much rather have a /Rad Corruptor on my team who debuffs, blasts, but neglects to heal than an Emp Defender who merely "Rocks Da' Aura. " and only has their Tier1 blast.

It sounds to me like you're playing just fine as a Rad, your debuffing, blasting and helping the team out. Doing some patch healing is always a good idea, but I would weigh it the least important part of playing a /Rad Corruptor.

It gave me a good laugh while making the video too, because its just so stupidly overpowered.

There I was, no build at all worth mentioning, and this one power due to a single IO let me shrug off entire 8-Man spawns.

Anchor debuffs were used mainly for pulling purposes, but I don't think they made a survivability difference at all unless I decided to try and pull 2 groups like in the later portion. (I did that primarily to test the target cap, which seemed to be higher than 16, might be because of how the pulsing works)

Pretty much, toss in Flashfire to trigger Containment, and you should be doing extremely good damage with very little risk to you. A fire/Kin with enough recharge should easily keep it double stacked to boot.

I did notice a very brief moment after the first one expired, that the mobs ignored KB, but it was about 1-2 seconds long and didn't pose much a problem.

If a person slotted for range, they should be able to toss this at mobs with no fear at all of being retaliated against. The KB takes place instantly, and the mobs don't even have time to open up with their Alpha, oh and it's auto-hit.. Once they are all flopping around your golden to pick them off at your leisure, so long as you remember to re-stack the Bonfire. If you want to play it uber safe, just hug a corner or stay far away while recasting Bonfire and letting your imps do the dirty work.

In the past the devs have looked down upon such easy tricks to gain rewards at virtually no risk to the participant. The old Hover-blasting of Warwolves springs to mind. Now they not only have Ranged attacks, but are brutally resistant to slows/immobs.
