    Look children, Rogues work in other games. Healtards work in other games. They dont work here because of the mechanics. Give it up already. Play something that works, instead of giving in to your inner 12 yr old "hurp a derp, i iz hiden adn won shoot a dude. I'z AWESUM" and trying to make things that are squares fit into triangles.
    Never change, CF.

    Do you see any reason why this couldn't happen?
    Because there's no way a Super Strength Stalker would have Assassin's Blow.

    Seriously.

    It'd be Assassin's Smash.

    Fixed for increased accuracy.
  5. I usually take the Axe on any character that has a primary damage type that is heavily resisted by those ghosts (Lethal, Smashing or Neg. Energy). I just REALLY hate those ghosts.

    In what sense?

    That Ice Armor shouldn't have to have ice?
    That Stone Armor shouldn't need to have all those stones?
    Or maybe that Fiery Aura doesn't need all that fire?

    That is, effectively, what you're asking for, from an in-universe point of view: A set that uses certain elements to provide it's protection but actually doesn't use said element. It doesn't make sense.

    Some auras are really bothersome to some people.
    Bothersome in the "This graphic causes me physical distress" meaning or bothersome in the "I don't like this" meaning?

    In the case of the former, I'd be right behind you. But I've yet to hear of any of these possible issues. At least not since the change to the Sonic Resonance set.

    In the case of the latter, I'd say good luck on leveraging that into a compelling argument.

    Drat. You uncovered my devious plot. I've failed you, Lord Nemesis!

    Yes.
  8. Because that wouldn't make sense?

    Minimal FX are only options for the powers that having no visual marker makes sense for.

    Invulnerability? So your skin is as tough as steel... why does it have to be double rainbow (oh my god!) shiny?

    Willpower? So you're pretty stubborn about not dying... why are you glowing?

    Super Reflexes? Dodging stuff makes you ripple? I dunno.


    But Ice? That's all about coating yourself with protective layers of frozen water.

    Stone? Protecting yourself with rocks.

    That kinda stuff is pretty difficult to not see.
  9. I had a devil of a time getting that badge on my Ice Blast/Cold Domination Corruptor.
  10. I've had no issue with Elec Control other than how incredibly awesome it is.

    Because VEATs ARE Epic Pools.
  13. My new Elec/Elec Dom has been making do with Ninja Run as his Travel Power.

    With Inherent Fitness, I can scrunch in CJ and SJ, now have a spot for a -KB IO and can grab Electric Fence to increase my controls a bit. It's definitely turning out to be a major boon for this particular character.

    Dunno how I might change my old Grav/Psi though.

    He gives the stuff back and he's labeled as negative? Nice.

Late game with IO sets and self buffed to the soft caps it doesn't matter.

    I never said useless, I said crap. A 25% damage reduction is barely noticeable alone. You can not deny that a 25% damage resistance buff on a character already at 60% damage resistance is a hell of a lot more effective. A team with good powerset synergy is tremendously more effective than a team with very little synergy.
    You do realize that a 25% RES buff on a "low-mid level tank" that was DEF based would practically double that Tank's survivability, yes?

    You mean because of the lighthearted nature of a show that is filled to the brim with all sorts of in-jokes and yet not only manages to wring every bit of cracky continuity from the source material but still remembers that it's all for fun and doesn't take itself too seriously?
  17. No love for the poor overlooked dugong?
  18. Like BrandX, I like having physical copies more than digital copies of things. And I actually like dictionaries. And all sorts of reference books. They're just handy, plus I find it fun every now and then to crack 'em open and look up things.

    I'm a bit sad to see the OED being put to rest, but I can understand the reasons behind the decision.
  19. This... this entire conversation has gone weird and I'm not entirely sure who's saying what or why.

    But it is entertaining on an, "ugh, nothing else to do," level, so, please, continue.

    Ghoul love!

    It could also be interpreted as the Ghouls, after seeing one of their comrades die have become angered. The adrenaline rush has caused them to ignore some of their wounds.
  21. Not really seeing much of an issue here either. It's entirely consistent with how the EATs are unlocked:

    Get a Hero to 20, unlock Khelds.

    Get a Villain to 20, unlock Soldiers/Widows.

    Get a Praetorian to 20... no EAT to unlock.

I've taken a few dirtnaps on this one so far and was hoping someone had an effective Dom strategy against this bugger.
    Eat a few purples, sap him and his drones with your powers then whittle him down at your leisure.

    Huntsmen have 3 less potential pets.

    A Huntsman can only get 3 pets: 1 Patron and 2 Disruptors.

    Since Crabs can get as many pets as a Mastermind has minions, that's why they're called "pocket masterminds."
