  1. Shweet. You're sure this one awards the badges? Just checking because I got burned by Alexander.
  2. And by "best" I mean easiest? >.>

    My badger is a Warshade. He can stealth missions and is a decent soloist. I've worked my way up from the bottom and I'm struggling with which arc I should use for the final range of Ouro badges. These arcs are all so AV/EB-ridden and I can already feel the bruises from trying to fight them under debuff, unenhanced, etc. Any suggestions?
  3. My current build on Arcana has the S/L and elemental shields but my next build iteration is dropping Penumbral (the elemental) because I find I never use it. I don't even know what Twilight Shield looks like because I have never met a Warshade who has it.

    I use the shields mainly as set mules. Grav Shield has my Imp. Skin and Aegis status protection. Absorption for the Steadfast unique and a Karma -kb. Shadow Cloak carries my LotG recharge and a second -kb. Cloak incidentally is the only WS power that accepts defense sets so CJ is a worthwhile pick if you want to mule more defense set IOs.
  4. My keyboard has shiny buttons.
  5. I'll copy over Rainbow Arcana lv50 WS.

    Weekends work for me.

    This is a good point here. If you do happen to have Mire and Eclipse up at the same time, Eclipse first!
  7. Eclipse requires a tohit check and in my opinion should always be slotted for accuracy. Some people don't and they've argued that it's not necessary if one always uses Mire first to buff their tohit. However, since these powers have different base recharge (Mire 120 secs, Eclipse 300 secs) coordinating them to have consistent simul-recharge will be pretty near impossible. Waiting to fire off a vital power because it's dependant on another power to hit anything seems rather a waste.

    Suggested slotting - two acc, three rech. Or two acc, two rech, two res. For sets, try a pair of any endmod set with rech/acc and frankenslot as many resistance set res/rech as you can spare the slots for.
  8. I could be persuaded but you can't laugh at my eccentric build.
  9. When there's a blackout and you sit in the dark playing "City of Heroes" with a bunch of Micronauts and a rubber squid.

    I wish we could subdivide how much of our time was spent in the Hive, slapping around Hami.

    Just a quibble, but FYI to the OP - you won't be able to slot those peroxisomes in Strangler until lvl 47. Nice to see HOs in a build.

    Do you regularly fight 54s on live or did you spawn +4s strictly as a stress test?

    It looks good, although having experimented I'm increasingly impressed with how good the devs' initial colour choices were.

    Given the option, the only tinting I'd do on my Warshade would be to Hasten. Obviously that will have to wait for later. My current build is Hasten-less which makes me sub-optimal in the opinions of the wise. I had it on the last build and speced out of it because it was just too danged ugly. I'm shallow that way.

    It would be really good if we got a proper storyline progression sometime soon, I am not sure if anything will go forwards with GR or not - but I haven't heard anything about it.
    This is so true. It's tough to RP Arcana properly when the CoH loremasters give him nothing to be emo about. He's dark. He's gay. He's trapped between worlds. He NEEDS emo.

    Especially since BaB fixed it and it's getting into the next Test-Server build!!!
    Oh thank goodness. Thanks for linking that.
  17. This is why Kheldians are so great.

    That's the only way *I* can tell if a character is undefeated.
    The reason I ask is because a friend just achieved level 50 playing hardcore (no PL, no AE, no defeats) and it seems a shame that he can't prove it.

    Is there any way in-game to confirm a character's total number of defeats?

    This is assuming a character who has never been defeated and therefore has no debt badges and no progress bar to check. I know about clicking on NPCs for number of hours on patrol, etc. but is there one who tells you how many times a character has been defeated or how much total debt they've earned?

    In Canada for years you could buy Mountain Dew but it had no caffeine in it. Which was worse really - the tease and all. It's better now.
  21. Oh thank goodness. I noticed the blocky geometry as well but I thought it was just senility setting in. Nice to know it's fixed and that I wasn't going insane.

    BaB: somebody deserves a Bug Hunter badge for this thread.
  22. Thank you Avatea and team for the painless and skillful underscore-ectomy. Now my handle is the same as my global and my SG forum handle. Now if I can only claim the name on those last two holdout servers I will RULE THE WORLD.

    This. And the bit about Inky.

    Very nice job! I can't see any reason why an all Kheldian TF shouldn't be trivial, let alone possible. A whole team's worth of players capable of tanking, blasting, buffing, debuffing and controlling to taste? Heh. Looks like it was a blast!

    I'm looking forward to seeing the results. After Effects can do some lovely things.
