Started my acct at home here in Canada. Lived in Oz for a year. Came back to Canada. No problems what so ever. The only thing that changes is who is regularly online when you are playing.

A bit convoluted, but you will probably make way more cash... roll 10-14 bronze and sift through the crap to find a few diamonds, then just buy the numina. Less of course they are unpossible to buy... in that case, I still recommend rolling 10-14 bronze because 166 rolls is better than 4 rolls.

My fire/fire tank does pretty well, but compared to my spines/fire scrapper, its more of a hedge trimmer.
Spines/Elec is nice as well... never have to worry about end. -
Elec/Stone
Good resistances(better than def in pvp) including end drain, recovery debuffs, psi, slows and tp. Great end recovery, some regen, recharge, and a heal. -
You can tell Steve "Crackhead" Jones that he can take the gun away from your head and go home now. Its my gift to you for fixing invuln and IO's. You can have your free will back. No need to thank me, your furrowed brow and negative attitude are thanks enough.

wasdeq for movement. Mouse for everything else. Have macro's for handy keys like target closest/next and follow. Works well for my mm's as well.
This is my first, and only mmo, and it is just how I naturally developed my playstyle. I agree it is possibly not the most efficient, and I could relearn, but after 6 years playing, its just how I normally sit down at the computer.
Big reason why I got used to using the mouse for everything, was the camera would never remember where it was at after zoning, would drive me nuts. -
Just tested it. Definately got 3 ticks of damage. Did your mobs die after 2 ticks? that is the only reason why I can see it not showing above the mobs heads. As for combat window, to my understanding, it spawns as an auto hit psuedo pet, so does not show you every tick of damage it does. Kinda like burn doesnt spam your combat window with the eleventy billion individual ticks of damage it does.

Sorry. Guess I misunderstood. If it means anything, It doesn't matter to me if you use veng bait. It would still be an accomplishment as far as I am concerned.
-
Pretty sure you wont need veng for the damage buff. Between the -Def -regen and stacked to hell and back -res you will blow right through the damage cap (Sorta, someone will be able to explain it way better than I). Afaik, a well build rad/sonic is one of the best av/gm soloers in the game.

Quote:This thread was the first time I had any interaction with Ultimo_. As such, I responded to him honestly trying to help. I wish I had known that he was not actually interested in figuring out ways to work within the current system, using the plethora of tools available to him to alleviate his endurance issues.Expecting Ultimo to change in response to the exact same forum venom that has consistently failed to change him since his very first post suggests that he's not the only one who cannot learn. I might lean more charitably to his detractors - I think he's seriously wrong nearly all the time too - if they would figure out that they cannot change Ultimo and just ignore his posts as containing nothing of merit. The fact that Ultimo consistently gets *EXACTLY THE SAME RESPONSES* from all his posts suggests that there's a deeply dysfunctional relationship between him and his detractors.
He spawns detractors as efficiently as the Duggers spawn babies. He is an assembly line of poorly constructed opinion. Is he entitled to that opinion? Of course. Are people entitled to explain how horribly wrong his opinion is?(I say opinion, because he really only has one. "This game doesn't do what I want it to do. It doesnt meet my unreasonable expectations. Change it") Why yes, yes they are. -
Quote:Wheat still, but it's bleached and heavily processed as part of the process to turn it into flour. "Wheat" bread is more like "unprocessed wheat bread" to be technical.
<.< >.>
pssst! Dark Rye bread is better than either and gluten free!
pssst. If you are gonna call white bread, white bread. Why not call whole wheat bread brown bread? Or at least whole wheat bread, as it is made from the whole wheat kernel.
I agree though about rye(pumpernickle) bread. What is usually considered dark rye gets most of its dark from mollasses. However, I would argue that sprouted breads are even healthier. -
Be on the look out for any toons named Wet Noodle.

Quote:I dont disagree with you. There are definately better synergistic combinations than dark/dark. Though I could tongue in cheek argue that a dark/dark needs the two heals because they are so prone to missing... Back when the Devs were constantly nerfing accuracy. (I know it is bullcrap but you will never be able to convince me my DM scrapper missed the same amount as my spiner. Dark just seems to miss more.)Ironically, I don't actually regard Dark/Dark to be *that* good a combo for a defender. Don't get me wrong, they're both great sets, and pairing them up works fine, but the problem is that, IMO, it's got more than it needs in some areas. THDebuff for example: Dark Miasma alone can floor anything shy of AVs, so you don't need the extra from the blast. Same with healing, DM has one of the best heals in the game, so why would you want Life Drain (or is it Siphon Life? I always get them muddled up, anyway...)? Better to take a set with a full strength T3 blast. I would combine Dark Miasma with, say, Ice or Sonic blasts, while Dark Blast has most synergy with Storm (as I outlined in my earlier post).
Of course, to further cement my agreement... Looks like imma hafta roll a storm/dark now... cause I didnt have enough on the go... Thanks for the lead -
Quote:I disagree. A very synergistic combo of toons would be a stone/ tank and fire/fire blaster. Two very capable toons on their own, however when combined, allow each to fill in the small holes of the other.Synergy: 1+1=3
Not synergy: 10+10=20
A lot of "synergy" combos I see in this thread are simply two really great sets in their own right combined to make a predictably strong combo.
Synergy is what saves two bad or so-so sets and makes them viable or even quite good. Electric blaster with /EM or /Elec secondary. Katana scrapper with SR secondary (if you're poor and can't afford sets). That sort of thing.
But we are not talking about duoing, so here are a couple toons I feel synergize really well, and more importantly, why.
Dm/shield. Dm's tohit combined shield's defence is a very powerfull combination. Dm's heal covers the lack of one in shield. Shield charge brings a little more aoe to a single target heavy set. AAO keeps the mobs in close to you to set up a huge soul drain. Two very competent sets on their own together make a powerhouse.
Bots/Storm. Bots have a tendancy to KB a spawn to all hell and back. Storm easily allows you to put the mobs where you want em for maximum carnage. Protector bot's force fields pair really nice with the -tohit from hurricane so the mobs hit you even less (very easy to softcap this toon btw). Even if your bots close to mellee, you can push the mobs back with the edge of your cane, so the bots use their more powerfull ranged attacks and aoe's without having to worry about positioning your bots back where you want em. Lots of extra damage in storm with Lighning storm and tornado. Helluva lot of -resists and - def in freezing rain just make it that much easier for your bots to destroy everything. Probably my most powerfull toon. To use your math 10+10=30
A Rad/sonic defender, as discussed makes a very powerfull combination. It very easily allows you to break right through the damage cap (Sorta) (-def, -resist, -regen, +dam, +rech = ignore the cap) The -tohit and +recovery heal and mez resists keep you safe and on your feet to fight longer. That is before you add your epic of choice. There is a reason it can take down Av's and Gm's.
My fire/traps corruptor is looking promising. But anything traps is win really... I just like the aoes of fire.
As for a Sword/Sr... I would rather pair a sword with regen to cap regen's mellee defence, and keep its massive regen, rather than pair it with a defence set that makes one of the best powers in your attack set obsolete by lvl 35. Ymmv.
Also, I would just like to add that builds like an elec/elec blaster, or dark/dark defender/scrapper, stone/stone tank, fire/fire anything are kinda designed to synergize well. (Not specifically responding to you here Rigel_Kent. I have seen some people quite happy with themselves and boasting that they had made a rare pairing of a dark/dark defender and are surprised it works so well together...) -

Quote:Geez coach, we are tired of dribbling the ball, we want to just run with it. We pay to play here, and we want to make up the rules, these ones dont suit me, I mean, us at all. If you dont want to let us play like this, you can be replaced you know.With that said, what does set a unbelievable tone and jumps out is how obedient most of you are to what the devs tell you they are,will, can and want to do for you. YOU are paying their salaries. If YOU really want to get an idea approved. Present it and gain support from a high percentage of the players (however that needs to be accomplished). If that don't work, ask those same players to cancel their accounts temporarily until the Devs do something. Some of your comments literally reflect why the devs dictate more than they appreciate and incorporate ideas.
Crazy to imagine that the players on the other teams are perfectly happy with dribbling aint it? -
If only there were a way to prove an opinion through scientific means.... why then it could metamorphosize into a beautifull fact and be peer reviewed and confirmed... Wouldnt it be great to believe an opinion could indeed be proven to be a fact? Nah... too much work... I guess it is kinda crazy how everyones opinion is not received equally. Why I guess some people, who actually take the time, and put some thought into their opinion, and even, test it out a bit have opinions that are actually taken equally seriously as the amount of thought put into it. Guess the flip side of the coin is that if someone does not want to put any work into their opinion, probably shouldn't expect their opinion to be worth much. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but it doesnt mean anyone has to take them as seriously as you do.

Quote:I dont think the AT's do enough damage. For instance, blasters do way more damage than defenders. I think everyone should do more damage equally, and then raise the damage even more for the at's that do lots of damage, that way, everyone does more damage equally.How terrible of me to suggest this game could be improved.
I think you should probably stop with the animal metaphors.
I am not interested in slotting for damage, or taking more attacks to do the damage. Nor am I interested in investing in IO's for damage bonuses either. The veteran attacks, as well as the temporary attack powers do nothing to allieviate my perception of doing enough damage, because all the at's have access to those options. I dont think that is fair.
I also have no interest in using the red inspirations to do more damage, because they never drop when you need them, all I get are the stupid blue ones, and it is not like we have a way to combine them or anything to make the one we want.
All the new players complain that they have to run all the way to the next spawn to do more damage, they should have a teleport that ports you to the next spawn immediately so you dont have to wait around not doing damage. In fact, the TP itself should do some damage as well, because thats what my character from randompenandpapergame666 could do, and I want to be able to do that here. I just want to improve the game.
(There are improvements the game needs, and there are tools already in the game for problems people have. If you have no inclination to actually use the tools given to you, dont expect a lot of support for an obsolete request.) -
