After expiriencing many TF's on infinity run by my friends at dUmb... I've become quite fond of anything with /cold. The more people we have running around using that set the better.

Keep in mind, you can color fire blue and/or white for one costume with "winter blasts"... however ice's graphic's just tint... I doubt you can make them look fire-like.

I wouldn't worry about AoE defense... so you can drop the 3rd Zephyrs where you have it.

The GFSC in buildup is a lot of slots for not much return (it's melee/ranged/AoE... no smash/lethal)... take some of those slots and put them in boxing to get another set of kinetic combat... combat jumping could use some +defense, too... which might get you to soft cap smash/lethal.

The PVP +3 defense takes big bucks and patience to get, but it certainly helps a lot since it gives you +6 of the +90 (45+45) that you're looking for.

Also, defense powers can be 3 slotted with LoTG proc/LoTG defense/Enzyme HamiO for good recharge and almost full +defense... and that slotting helps with endurance, too.

I probably wouldn't bother slotting out so much +hold... it doesn't do any good to hold something that can't hit you.

If you have the money, the miracle unique caps at level 40, so there's plenty available on the market you can use at your level. Plus the numina unique and performance shifter procs act exactly the same no matter what level you are, so if you do see one available at a lower level, there's no reason to wait for a higher level one... again, assuming you have the money.

I've tried this on many occasions and it turns out that due to some odd twist in game mechanics, we can't actually target good guys with our attacks.

CI>FB>CB>JL>FB>CB>repeat is a lower recharge option that is right in the same damage range of those other chains. When you slot purple procs in FB, CB, and JL it gets even better.

My fix for MA has always been to turn focus chi into a clone of Rage. It would give a power to scrappers that we've always wanted without porting the set that we'll probably never get. And I don't think any current MA users would disagree with the change. I don't know that it would immediately cause me to roll up an MA toon, but I'd think about it.

The beauty of this game is there's as many ways to play it as there are players. If you can make it work without stamina, by all means go for it. I personally wouldn't do it with that combination. But I've done it with a DM/Shield (albiet only breifly, then I decided to go back to the stamina build)... and I do it without any regrets at all on my fire/mind blaster. So if you think you can pull it off... go ahead. But if you do find yourself out of endurance frequently... stamina will go a long way to fixing that issue.

I've had this happen. Logged out in a store, then when I logged back the game likes to enter you into the room from a convienient door. Problem was, this door was behind a counter... and there was no way to for a Player to Cross over the counter. Used a wentworth port to get out. I suspect this happens somewhat regularly due to the random nature of they way they have you enter the game from a door.

Nemisis plots are not a part of the Paragon City universe... the Paragon City universe is part of a Nemisis plot.

I don't recall ever being on a team that couldn't just kill romi 4x where he stands ignoring the nictus. I've been on teams that did it differently, but I can speak from lots of experience that it wasn't needed.

I like +3x3. I can play on harder levels, especially vs certain enemy groups, but I prefer missions that take 5-10 minutes over ones that take 10-20.

3 of the last 4 posts (at the moment anyway) have discussions of elec/shield. Methinks elec/shield may be the new dm/shield.

edited: my mistake... i hadn't read that 4th post yet... it's also about elec/shield.

I think Electric/Shields fully built is the winner. Shield charge and Lightning rod on alternate spawns.

It's a melee attack... you can immobalize her 7 ft away from you and she'll never use it.

Things I've learned from this thread:

1. Even though I selected this map because I'm a blaster and have no status protection, it happens to be the best map to farm.
2. Yes, shield charge actually got a buff... I was assuming that was some kind of forum joke like the jump kick thing.
3. +3x8 is better then +1x8.

...and shouldn't headsplitter should insta-kill it's target (unless your target has multple heads)... that gang of Nemisis robots suddenly reappears after I run around the block a few times.. how's that happen? And don't even get me started on how my cell phone works perfectly from multiple dimensions as well as from ancient Rome.

I'm starting to suspect that perhaps this Paragon City place is just some elaborate superhero simulation and not the real world at all.
