Set Bonus Totals:

Uhm, that's actually how most of my Defenders play. Buff allies and/or apply debuffs to enemies, then start converting my blue bar to orange numbers. That's why you have a secondary. Use heals (if available) when something significant manages to get past the buffs and debuffs then resume shooting. My only Defenders that tend to spam healing at all are the Darks and Kins, but that's more for the debuff aspects.

It'll hurt his enemies. A lot.

i'm on Facebook because i am.

And i got a code yesterday, which was nice.

Mmmm, popcorn.

Orbital bombardment

Orbital bombardment is the act of attacking targets on a planet, moon or other such object from orbit around the object, rather than from an aircraft, or a platform beyond orbit. It is most often encountered in fiction, but has been proposed as a means of attack for several real-world weapons systems concepts, including kinetic bombardment and as a nuclear delivery system.

Uh...
Um...
*snerk*
So what you really meant is that everyone is entitled except those whose opinions and/or posts you strongly disagree with. Those people should die in indescribable agony for annoying you.

Yeah, this amused me. i did read everything else, but there's nothing i can add to the main discussion that hasn't been eloquently said already in this thread and many times previously in response to many threads by the same person. Although, the bit about reparations? That's a whole new tier of insanity and comedy gold.

Time for a non sequitur: Why do engineers confuse Halloween and Christmas?
Because Oct 31 = Dec 25

The Theft of Essence proc is a wonder with Dark Regeneration. On occasion i actually gain back more endurance than i used.

tiana_arylle, as far as playing lowbie teams i also suggest not cranking the difficulty levels early on until everyone gets a bit of practice and is fully up to speed. Once a group is familiar with each others' playstyle and general gameplay it's possible to crank difficulty settings up stupidly high even at the lowest levels, but it can slow progress down quite a bit. The team combo you have sounds very good, but there is one thing you need to remember: the penalties for defeat in this game are minimal, so feel free to try anything you want, no matter how foolhardy, as long as everyone is having fun.

*psst* Unless you're discussing architectural features it's spelled "Archetype"... All that aside i agree with your post.

Yeah, that is awesome. Admittedly my Huntsman goes through his blue bar like mad when fighting (too much AoE i guess), but little survives long enough to make that a problem.

So the trinity isn't needed and any team can succeed (i've been on all-Tanker ITFs that just waded through all the enemies and eventually stomped Nictus Rommy into the ground), but it's stacking of buffs, debuffs, and controls that make for the most powerful teams. i've seen that rattle players used to other MMOs when they ended up on Trial/SF/TF teams that were all support ATs. What really really makes it worthwhile is the amazement they express later as the team just destroys everything in their path without a "tank" or "DPS".

Aha! That's easy.
Thanks. (Yeah, i'm not currently having that issue, but i like learning these things in advance.)

*Grrr* That gave me hiccups and convulsive laughter at the same time. An uncomfortable feeling.
Or maybe it was the combination of seeing that while the song was still playing in another tab.

"This is my movement, bowel movement..."

You'd still need a battery pack of some kind to store enough power to get the laser running and wearable solar cells (depending on how enormous and flat you are, as well as how bright the sun is locally) would probably give you a very low up time on the laser. i mean, we are talking about real world applications and physical laws in this instance, which admittedly is not an area where certain posters have much familiarity when they make their proposals. Although Dur did helpfully cut the laser's power usage by 90% for his proposal. That will probably help quite a bit.

Mmmm, that forum name does seem familiar somehow, but can't quite place it.
Then again i changed mine several times since you were last around, so what's in a name?

Regardless, welcome back. The game has changed quite a lot, and all for the better in my opinion.

Of course. Absolutely.
A 100 milliwatt (.1 watt) laser may be only 10% of the power output of the laser in the article but it can still blind others. Not sure how wearable solar cells are relevant.

Small sample sizes do not yield uniform distribution, eh?
So basically the problem is that the random number generator is actually exhibiting randomness?

To get any other result you'd have to add a non-random weighting system that tracks each character's reward table results and alters each roll based on prior results. Sort of a reward table streakbreaker.

Well, technically it was mentioned at least four times before you posted, but not with that exact wording. And yet it remains an excellent suggestion.

It's hard to say which i consider most fun. i've leveled up several Dark Miasma combos, leveled a variety of Dark Armor alts, and played all the other darkity sets. One combo that hasn't been mentioned that i enjoyed quite a bit was my Katana/Dark Armor Scrapper.

Oog, i was half hoping that wasn't Deadshot even though i knew it was. Still, he's much more of a gentleman in this version; he's even sporting a steel corset of his own to show solidarity with Quinn.

Basically all the powers from the Fitness pool have been made inherent powers just like Rest, right down to being slottable and unlocking when you train to level 2. While not totally game-changing it has allowed players to take an even wider selection of powers than they used to. It also makes the lower levels much quicker and easier than they used to be.

Yup.
Unfortunately that ranking is unable to show anything actually relevant about SGs. The prestige bar to having a well-equipped base is so low that displaying prestige totals shows nothing but an SG's ability to rake in prestige. Which in itself means little to nothing.

Ooooooh! Very nice. i did not know about the noparse command. Thanks!
