You know what I meant

That's not a quote, that's a dude saying another dude said something.

Nowadays, zero.

Besides, if Freedom ***** the bed, nothing of value is lost :3

Sources reveal Hugh Laurie was at first hesitant to take the job, put off by the idea of receiving currency without a queen on it. Once convinced of how many monocles and how much tea he could buy using these American "dollars" he grudgingly accepted.

Hugh Laurie: Best paid Actor in US TV Drama. Also, English.

Oh man, I just thought. You know those old school cigarette holders? Like Raoul Duke has in F&L in Las Vegas? Imagine one of those, but with hover technology. I'm not even a smoker but the idea of having one of those that you don't even need to hold with your mouth is rad as hell.

Someone alert the hoverfeds! Christ, I'm going to end up an old hoverman, sitting in my hoverchair on my hoverporch with my hover shotgun in my lap.

Take Ice Mastery on Ice/Storm Controller, softcap s/l defense, get high recharge, fuel it with Cardiac, win everything.

The fact that I really like the theme/aesthetics of my KM/SD Scrapper is a not-insignificant part of why he even survived to 50, let alone has shiny IOs.

Couldn't find a torrent, don't care, these guys can have my money. Bought dis on iTunes, downloading now.

This is sogood.

Edit: ahahah holy ****

It's 2011 already, where's my ******* hoverbike?

Spiritual. Easily. Cold has several long recharging powers which should be ED-maxed on recharge already. Spiritual giving even more recharge for them, making them perma or close to it is win.

something something devs hate villains

Edit: oh and this is totally a slap in the face

Edit 2: I've just thought, the corollary of this is that a Rogue or Vigilante could theoretically get 4 Notices (and thereby a Favour) in one week. Run both hero WSTs, go run the villside one and Mortimer Kal, convert the Flames of Prometheus temp.

Bam, 4 Notices in one week. How's that for a slap in the face?

Okay, my first recommendation would be to narrow down what you're aiming for. You said you're looking for regeneration and defense. What kind of defense? Which type or vector? For example, if you decided to go for smashing/lethal defense, you could take Scorpion Shield. If you wanted ranged defense, slotting a lot of Thunderstrikes would be the way to go.

I personally wouldn't build for +regen for two reasons. One, Corruptors have relatively low hp so you're never going to get a great deal of hp/sec. Secondly, and more importantly, you've got Twilight Grasp. It's a great heal. It heals a lot, recharges fast and is a debuff to boot. It'll be more than enough to keep your green bar healthy.

Looking at your build, you've got defense in the teens to all three positions and all types and just over 20% for energy/negative and ranged running Shadowfall. I'd recommend you choose a type or vector and get it to 32% or so. That means a single purple inspiration will take you to the softcap (link as to why its such a good goal).

There's stuff I'd change about the rest of the build because its a little all over the place at the minute, but the main stuff is as follows: I'd drop or really reconsider the Leadership pool. Fire/Dark is quite an end hog and Assault/Tactics provide very little benefit for the endurance cost for you. Assault is also overslotted, I'd put 1-2 level 50 end rdx IOs in it if you really want it.

The Dark Servant would really benefit from some accuracy. Tactics will help him, but its better to slot him properly. If you want a dark themed epic, I'd go with Dark Mastery over Soul Mastery. Power Boost provides fairly little benefit to Fire/Dark, Patron Pets are pretty much all terrible and the Dark pool has several awesome powers. Like Soul Drain, to turbocharge your damage and Dark Consumption for your end bar.

Take a look at the Dark Miasma guide in my sig. I've got my build in there if you want to check it out. Once you know what you're aiming for, I can be more specific with your build.

My recommendation for a Fire/Dark would be lots of recharge and recovery, moderate defense (32% to a given type/vector).

As for the market stuff, read the market forum. Lots of great information in there and they're very willing to help people willing to learn. But the basic idea is this: buy low, sell high. I realize that sounds like facile advice, but that really is the core of it.

Look up builds on the forums, see what sets are used a lot. Look at your own builds, see what sets you use a lot. This will give you a pretty good idea of the demand for a given set. Then check out the market. See how much the pieces of the set sell for, say Doctored Wounds. That's a popular set because it goes all the way up to 50, its a heal set and almost everyone has a heal of some kind and it provides 5% recharge. Everyone loves recharge.

So you look at how much pieces have been selling for, work out a rough average and put in a lowball bid. Putting in bids slightly above the lowest sold value and selling for slightly below the highest sold values is a good way to go. Crafting stuff up is also a very good way to make money. The recipe + salvage costs is often much less than what the crafted IO sells for. You can pick up lots of desirable recipes for little, buy the salvage (or get it using ticket rolls), craft it up and sell it for a healthy profit.

Hope that helps. So yeah, take a look at my guide if you want, decide on a focus for your build and I can try to help out some more

Peace, UC.
