  1. I think I fought this guy on my Merc/FF and didn't do too badly.

    Force Bolt, how I love thee.

    given an 8-person team built entirely of the clueless and badly built, how long does it take you to get through a 54 Maniac boss farm, and how many people die during the run?

    I think you mean 7 people and then you.

  3. ...I find the absence of my future self disturbing.

    What am I going to do now?

    Someone mentioned the Heavy Plasma sound effects from X-COM.
  5. How many more celebrities died?

    I want the ability to kill Lady Jane, for pissing me off with her self destructive ways.

    Incarnates

    [ QUOTE ]
    Thanks for the answers, all.
    I've been eagerly awaiting this since I've heard about it. I hope it takes the form of some trial that I can take my main through. It would also be nice if Incarnates have some reasonable chances to solo AVs and giant monsters.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Well-built ordinary toons can already solo AVs and some giant monsters.

    I have a feeling the devs are never going to make them obviously overpowered. They've already said that the level cap will never be raised.
  8. The fastest way to level up?

    Find a character that you enjoy playing. The levels will fly by.
  9. ...I think your best bet at this point is to get a better connection, if possible.

    regen bonus will be the same, since that's not affected by AT modifiers

    however, forget traps (I know I'll play one at some point)

    TA/AR here I come! about time!

    [/ QUOTE ]Redraw on almost every single attack? Ewwww.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that combination was disalowed. You can't make Trick Arrow/Assault Rifle custom enemies, after all.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    That's only because MA enemies can't have more than one of any weapon set.

    We can make Merc/TA or Bots/TA Masterminds with two weapons after all.

    First off, your Avatar is extremely irritating.
    Maybe that's the point.
    It is so annoying that I had to cover it up in order to read your post. I won't be doing this again if I come across this same Avatar again.

    Mozilla add on - "Adblock Plus." Right click image, add to filter - no more avatar. Something similar probably exists for IE. Far more fine-grained than the built in "block entire site." You can block a specific image, specific directory (which would be the specific user in this case, as well,) etc.

    Why is he complaining about that avatar anyway? It's mine that everyone seems to complain about.
  12. After the next Issue, you might not have a problem!
  13. I think the general rule of thumb is that a team looking for a healer is a bad team.
  14. Account sharing is generally discouraged on all MMOs, both as a safety feature (pissed-off SO deleting your characters anyone?) and for money reasons (more accounts=more monthly fees).
  15. The devs have confirmed that this will never happen. Different sets require completely different sets of skills to use, especially on Defenders and Controllers, and there's too much potential for disaster.
  16. When the heck are we gonna fight Odysseus?
  17. We've had co-op zones where all the ATs, villain and heroside, seem to all work together fine. In this game you do not need a specific team, if you do you're either doing something incredibly hard or you're an idiot.
  18. I actually have one of these, at 28 last I checked. So far... it's okay. Invuln is a little weak against exotic damage until you get Invincibility, and some passives to reinforce it, and Energy Melee is nice for inflicting very large amounts of damage against a single target. The latter set does have its issues though, it used to be overpowered, now it's arguably been nerfed a little too much. Of course, it's still perfectly viable.
  19. Dual Blades is a good powerset, despite what all the powergamers tell you, but it's VERY subjective- no two players seem to be able to agree what a good build for it is. You're better of trying for yourself.

    Regen is fairly simple and has a few skippable powers. It's one of the more 'scrappier' secondaries, that makes you better in a straight-out fight.

    You do realize that, just to prove to some players that he could, he solo'd AV Ghost Widow with a Claws/Invuln without temps, insps, or anything without dieing 3 times in a row. And it was verified.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Huh. Well, I guess he'd have capped hit points, decent resists, and probably cranked up his passive regeneration a lot. I suppose it would work. I survived her death hold once on Werner. I assume I had Dull Pain and Instant Healing up at the time, but it was a long time ago. I wasn't able to beat her, though.

    Is Castle the developer that was doing Rikti War Zone challenges on his newly minted Dual Blades/Willpower back before those sets went live?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I wouldn't trust the dev whose job it was to balance powersets if he didn't know how to tweak those numbers like the best of us.

    That doesn't quite cut it anymore.
