Interesting that the "statue's" feet do not seem connected to the ground.

Speculation: maybe it's not a statue, but a Macy's parade balloon?

It was neither rude nor immature, it just wasn't what you wanted to hear.

How have we raised a generation of people who regard any situation where everyone else does not conform to their whims as some kind of personal affront?

It's probably true that there are some "good" names sitting on dead accounts. However, it's almost certainly true that a lot of the names people really want are actively being played, and no amount of action against dormant accounts would free up those names. I know I have personally seen people with altered names that are attempts to get the name in use by my actively-played 50s. I'm certain that those people want the name I am using; it seems logical that some of them would agree with having the script run to try and get the very name I am using.

The fundamental reason we have unique names is the same reason you want to take the names other people are using for yourselves: a unique name is a very important part of a comic book character's identity. A task force of six Batmans would be stupid. He's THE Dark Knight, not "Hey, it's one of those Dark Knight guys."

In my crankiest moments, I fantasize that the Devs run TWO scripts to solve the "name problem:"

1. A script combing through the forums and identifying all the account names of players who have advocated taking names away from other accounts.
   
2. A script on the game's databases, removing (and replacing with "Genericxxxx") all the names from the accounts identified by Script 1 and only from those accounts.

Isn't the problem with Shadow Maul (and Dark Melee in general) more a "number of targets" problem than a "shape of cone" problem? I often get all five enemies in the cone...but five at a time is all Dark Melee ever gets.

It seems to me expanding it to up to 10 targets affected would be a more immediately useful change.

While they're at it, they could add this.

Hey, I was recently wondering where you were! Glad to see a post from you.

What about Dark Melee (for Shadow Maul) and Flurry?

How would the Might of the Tanker proc work in, say, Mud Pots? Not sure whether the PPM thing would be better or worse there, but it would make slotting easier if I didn't have to put it into a melee attack.

This thread should totally have been titled "Shut Your Psy Hole."

No Headsplitter (or one-slotted, in the second build)? Why?

For starters, FrierFly, are you familiar with Call Me Awesome's Invulnerability guide? It's Tanker-oriented, but the same sets work for Scrapper defense bonuses.

Thanks, perhaps I didn't read the body text.

One mitigating factor is that Willpower produces a lot of End, so it's less of a strain on a WP than it is on many other builds.

I spent a Paragon Reward pick on 25 Enhancement Boosters.

I've been using them here and there; apparently how they are used is you go to the in-game e-mail tab, Account tab, and pick it off the list to take one from your supply and add it to the character in question.

But the Account tab just says "1 Enhancement Booster," if I am recalling correctly. I don't see any obvious way to determine how many I might have left to grant to various characters. Is this total tracked somewhere?

It would be a pain to wander through all my characters' enhancement screens with mouse hover trying to count the claimed boosters manually.
