    Crazy Predictions

    POST-ACTION

    Statesman could be saluted for finally taking care of ALL the loose ends with the SSA and killing off one of the members of the Phalanx mainly because one of them went rogue and insane.

    From what I know about traps so far and about Beam is that they are good together. Since the traps are place and hold, you get to spread the beam love easily since you dont have to switch between constantly trapping and beam blasting.


    -------
    Is anyone noticing that the Lockdown Proc in PGT is hitting all targts in the AoE? I expected just a few to get triggered but it turns out that the gas trap is hitting everyone in the area of effect.

    The Devastation Proc in Mortar is just horrible, the proc rarely hits and the frequency is meh. I just got my Scorpion's Shield for the extra defense, my total recharge rate is at 107.5% and I am focusing on +Regen/+Recovery since I have good defense from Manuevers, CJ, FFG and Scorp Shield.

    Are there any other proc tricks for a Rad/Traps?

    I am overall excited about Dark Control/Fire Assault or the extra goodness that is dark damage.

    I feel like the TV Dale might be a bit more of a badass than in the comic. In the comic he does pull out some left turns but I feel like the TV dALE is going to be equally insane like shane.

    Shane is becoming more and more unhinged and I think stepping up with andrea might turn grandpa into a psycho...yay

    Last night was amazing!

    I am getting really tired wit this stupid white girl in the woods schtick! I read the comic and am a proud fan but I want sophia killed off already, find her, her hand, her doll or her clothing and move on please.

    I was turned off by the size of shane and the fact that andrea had to grab...lets please go grab dale and start a romance that I actually liked seeing page after page.


    In the comic, the one interaction I never see is between Michone and Andrea and when they actually gets the grapes to introduce her, I want to see some Andrea/Michone stoy going on.


    Carol needs to get with a black guy...sorry if this sounds wrong and vulgar...


    Still miffed that Otis went the way of the fatman...really am as a fellow "Guy of Heft"


    ...Ok, back to work...

    I know that PGT takes Lockdown but Acid Mortar takes ranged damage sets and Devastation has the chance to hold.

    Will Devastation and Lockdown in this set create some mayhem.
  12. Shadow Wail
    On a side note, if I can spare an extra slot in Acid Mortar for a Lockdown Proc...does it work right?

    I am working on a Rad/Traps and it is a hairy russian beast but I want to add the Lockdown Proc both to Poison Gas Trap and Acid Mortar for awesome holds but I am not sure if it will work right.

    I am finding my level 27 Rad/Traps: Neutronos to be an awesome build.

    I start off with a dose of PGT and an Acid Mortar then throw Aim, Irradiate, Caltrops and finish with Neutron Bomb and jump outside to do ST blast goodness and a dose of Electron Haze.

    I havent gotten Seekers or Trip mine but I will be getting those and living every minute of it!


    The best part about traps would be the procs. I am putting an Achilies and Devastation in Mortar and a Lockdown in PGT.

    Also, I don't have a problem with IOs going on sale in the paragon market, as long as they aren't purples, PvPs or Hami's. I like the idea that they are soulbound and increase with level, that idea actually is awesome and might make me buy them early on.

    [Troll] And it seems the cries of "Buff Poison" are "Wah!" [/troll]
    If it is a ST based debuff, will it be a deadly choice on a Mind/Poison/Fire Controller?

    Sometimes I gather the team for a small RNG God prayer and sacrifice a squishy to the RPG God...in hopes that I get a purple drop.

    Unfortunately the RNG God needs a serverful of sacrifices...still he is not appeased!
