I went and got the Thunderstrike set from the Merit Vendor in the Atlas Wentworth's, but don't have enough merits to get two sets, let alone three.

I had most of the necessary salvage already, and the stuff I needed to buy wasn't terribly expensive. Crafting them myself thus cost a total of about 6 million for the entire set. That stings, but I noticed a difference, even with only one set of them. I can imagine three sets will be very nice indeed.

Just a little update.

I respecced her about a month ago, slotting in SOs and crafting generic IOs as they come along. She just got her Alpha slot tonight and got a single SO drop the entire arc. Science. Bleh. Got a couple IOs she couldn't use and no one was buying at WW. So I bought a whole bunch of IOs (you can always tell when I've been through the market because everything I buy ends in "117") and then sold them. Earned about 50k or so. Did the doppelganger arc with a friend, logged her out.

You can't possibly think that if "balance improves"--whatever twisted thing you've convinced yourself to think that means--that when an exploit is found, a bunch of loser idiots won't milk it for all it's worth.

There are only two things that will keep people from using exploits as they're found: a carrot and a stick. The carrot we have now is the Bug Hunter badge. Personally, I think that they need to give it out a lot more often because right now due of its rarity, most people who don't have it already have resigned themselves to believing they'll never get it. The stick that they need to use far more often is to actively nuke the ill-gotten gains of players who use exploits, temp-ban the people who are creating these AE missions, and completely AE-ban people from creating missions who do it repeatedly.

Will there be outcry? Probably. Will there be ragequits? Yeah, also probably. But consider this. If the only condition under which a player will remain in the game is if they are allowed to exploit it with impunity, is this player good for the long-term health of the game? No. Ultimately, they will cause more damage than good, and they need to go. Meanwhile, the adults who aren't constantly looking for the next new way to screw the developers over, including the people who get slaps on the wrist and learn the concept of "don't do that," will be much happier.

I'd love to see GMs invisibly deployed to several of these zones and tuning into these global channel, and whenever anyone posts a message like, "LFMF" or "AE farm LFM," silence them for five or ten minutes. If they come back, give them a day or two temp-ban.

The main thing I'd comment on here is that if your primary purpose is a cone-based blaster then MM as a secondary doesn't fit. Drain Psyche and PS are both PBAoE so to use them you'll be in close, yet cones don't work to their full effectiveness in close. You can potentially do a Sirens Song, jump in, fire off DS, fore off PS then jump out, fire off your cones, but then you'd be jumping back in for PS. Seems like a lot of work.

If you really want a cones-based blaster, look at AR/EM. Lots of cones on AR and when paired with Boost Range it is a thing of beauty (longer range on cones means more is in the area of effect). I love mine - and it works equally well solo or on teams.
