Red Pirate Boggarts

Put me down in the traps column too (I'm in love with traps, rolled a thugs/traps MM with a Destroyers theme in Praetoria, good times).

Really though, I don't think you can go wrong with storm, dark, or traps. Only secondary I don't really recommend is poison. I rolled a ninja/poison and hated the single target focus on it. Mercs aren't all that sturdier than ninjas either.

In all seriousness, it might take a while for the hero population to adapt to the damage/x style of villains.

I know not everyone plays in Cim and RWZ, be it normal door missions there or the TFs.

I'll give it time for blueside and redside to become purple
I know my mindset's somewhat against the more specialized roles of heroes, because I've played redside so much.

My faith in blue side support has been renewed. My rogue crab was teaming with heroes last night, and I must say the emps on the team had almost everyone with fort, had clear mind on the mezz-vulnerable people, and went to town with their blasts. I don't think we needed very many heals, if at all.

My crab / bane officially crossed over last night, after completing the rogue morality mission.

First task? STF Isn't it tradition to get revenge on your ex-boss?

Speaking as someone who made a defender first then rolled a corruptor... Stick with corruptors.

/cast PFF to deflect rotten vegetables

No more tomatoes? Ok, cool. /splat! Awwwww.....

1. You get no scourge
2. Your defender inherent causes you to lose 30% of your overall damage when in teams larger than 4
3. You have lesser buff values as a corruptor, but right now in teams and solo, I find I'm not really asking for higher buff/debuff percentages on my trappers (yes, trappers for both corr and def). The corruptor values were fine enough when we were restricted to the Rogue Isles, and I find them fine enough when teaming in Paragon. You know... I think sometimes corruptor values are overkill for blue side.
4. As a rogue corruptor you sometimes get treated like a dps by teams . Pew pew pew /support pew pew!

Here's a few scenarios I can't wait to see:

1. Invite brute1, invite brute2, invite granitetank1. Someone says, "you sure about inviting 3 tanks? We won't have enough damage!"

2. "We need kin, Boggarts!" "Okies!" Invite kinetic melee toon. "Yarrrrr!"

3. Group already has tanker1. Me playing my brute. They advertise: "LFM need damage!" Me: "Okies! Sign me up!" Them: "No noob, u tank, we need dmg!" Me: "..." /emo

First day in Nova Praetoria?

I have to say this:
Dominatrix > Ms. Liberty

She looks better in black and red I tell ya.

Just curious, anyone going to defect and resign their commission?

My first level 50: a necromancy / dark miasma MM

Honestly officer, these walking corpses aren't evil! They're going to protect that orphanage over at 5th and 88th, and afterwards we're all inviting them over for cookies and story time!

Uh huh... Hey, that one looks like my recently deceased colleague, Sergeant Bill!

Um... er... you see, he's such a good public servant he's determined to stay in this world and help protect it!

...



You know now that you mentioned it, I'm seriously considering taking this necromancer over to blue side, because atlas park needs more zombies.

Freedom has queues?! Are there 3 red lights instead of just 2 yellows beside the name?

Wow....

I have a dual pistols / traps (lvl 18) corr, a traps / dual pistols (lvl 40) def, and a 50 IO'ed huntsman / bane for my guns & gadgets toons.

DP / traps is so much better to level than the traps / dp defender. I strongly encourage you to try traps. Not that rad / dark / etc. aren't good, but traps is just so much fun and you feel like a dominator with scourge with it

Just adding my thoughts on this: I hope they at least make it color tintable like invuln's unyielding (feel free to correct me if that's not the right power).

I too would argue that emps aren't easy. I got slapped a lot of times when I tried my pick up lines on several in the last Defender-con... A few of them six slotted flurry too.
