Sir Hextor

There's too many Fire/Kins (plus I already have a Kin/ def and I'm not into repeating powersets). So I decided to try out a Fire Troller but wanted something that would help with the massive end consumption that is Fire and figured, "Well Cold Dom has Heat Loss and it likes to be in Melee like Fulcrum Shift and I haven't played it. I wonder what a build would look like?" So I put together this little thought process and was hoping to get a once over look at it. I normally don't worry too much about defense unless the troller is going to live in melee which I think this will to take full advantage of Hot Feet (sidetrack, is it just me or is Sleet + Ice Storm over a group of Fire Caged baddies while standing amonst them with Hotfeet something beautiful or horrorifying?). This is a more how does this look, is there something you would change, WTH ARE YOU THINKING YOU FOOL NOT GETTING XXXXX POWER!!!????!!!!???

Also, I'm sure a few more purple sets would make this thing just hum, but since I'm still trying to purple out one character and I rarely keep more than a few hundred million on my account at any given time, I like to limit them where I can (I know, there's 8 purples, but one of them is a 'cheaper' set and the rest just fill out the powers too well not to look at em and at least dream a liltte).

A self rez on any squishy if you are doing incarnate trials is AMAZING (I'm looking at you MoM). A self rez on trollers makes me happy dance and RotP is sexay as all get out.

I'd agree with the majority assuming you aren't giving up too much recharge going either way. If there's a decent loss of recharge on either way I'd heavily favor the other. But then again, I actually think using inspirations is just fine so once I'm within one purple of softcap I'm happy.

For no particular reason, your post THB broke me today. I didn't notice the pun until you pointed it out but man did I just lose it. Perhaps it's the fact that I'm stuck at work for 16 hrs, but I just want to say thanks, you just made my morning

The key to lvling up a WS is...TEAM. Team all the time. Organize and invite people to TFs. Soloing can be pretty painful on a shade before Eclipse, but with the right team mixture you can end up with 30-50% res all and 40-80% Dam buff (just avoid teaming with a bunch of trollers, Doms or other EATs). After Eclipse, this advice changes because you are consitently res capped, double mired and rolling like a boss, so you can laugh off just about any group at x8 (and you'll want to run x8 to double saturate mire and to ensure you have delicious bodies for Stygian Circle).

I took Spectral Interface for the exotic damage type, the immobilize and the fact that I am still running trials a good bit to fully tier4 him.

Like a boss, Black.Heat chillin' in RWZ. How you doin' lady khelds?


Also, like all BAs are supposed to be, I am 7 ft tall.

....like tonight?? Though if we have lowbies, I still need a Sister Psyche...jus' sayin'

12 lvls on my Thugs/Pain and I'll be prepped for trialing. Muahahahahahaha!!!!!

Also, Thugs/Pain is some fun times 87

I've only played on Virtue and Exalted and never seen any sort of stalker hate outside of the good natured ribbing I like to give those on my teams. You silly stalkers all seem to have some sort of persecution complex or something :sheesh:

I'm really tempted to enter into this, not because I have any epeen in this contest, but just because I have a shade that has maybe 8 set/unique bonuses, a couple tier3 incarnate powers and he's still fully functional in +2/x8 and incarnate content with few defeats (which is what I have a self rez for) and is just outright my second most fun character to play (I am in love with my Illusion/Sonic troller...sorry). The AT is fully playable without a full compliment of IOs and like all the other ATs it only becomes rediculously good when you add them. While I'm sure all of us are aware of this, I think it sometime it gets lost in the IO build noise and the most impressive accomplishments you 'gentlemen' have here

Be honest, Argentae, you just wanted to share your BA names for your characters and that's why you posted. It's ok, they are pretty wifty so I totally understand :-P

I had a couple things come up last minute but I'll make a concerted effort to get back on during the normal nights. I may also swing some weekend time on an alt or to catch up with Tex. See ya'll Wednesday night

Made 2 lvls on my MM on a mixed group Manticore (gotta love that half a lvl WST XP bonus). So one more and I'll be at 35 and since I'm only half way through the Midnighter arc, I ought to be there by friday.

Patron Pool access depends on whether or not you complete the first Patron Arc (with any of the 4 patrons) to get the badge. To do that you have to be of villain or rogue alignment. So as long as you meet those qualifiers you'll have access to them. As for your other questions, never played a Grav Dom so I can't really help you much.

Apparently the Devs really did not want Khelds playing Redside.

Local, you forgot about Liquefy being in Sonic

Understandable, though since I constantly forget about it too.

Must resist temptation to make this build...

I'm not real sure how synergistic Ill/Kin is aside from Siphon Speed giving you +recharge, but I'd imagine Ill/Dark will be just fine destroying any normal content and likely will be AV soloable with a good IOed build. I mean, I play an Ill/Sonic that has no troubles so I highly doubt you'll run into problems on and Ill/Dark.

All of my characters have at least a loose concept to them, though I am not what I would call a roleplayer when it comes to MMOs (prolly cause I'm too lazy), but far and away my favorite concept character is my MFin' Warshade, Black.Heat. I was invited by some friends of mine to join a SG where the requirement was that Heat be a part of your name and I had just recently finished reading Dech's guide meaning that pretty much my next character had to be a Warshade. The night prior to making this character I sat down and watched Black Dynamite, which has some of the best one liners from any movie I've seen. And thus the character was born, because few things are as BA as a MFin' WS nor a Blacksploitation protagonist. Combining the two is pure kismet and pretty much the only character I routinely get into with my natural snarky comments on teams.

::grumble, grumble:: stoopid making plans on SG nights ::grumble, grumble::

Also, Haywire, not a terrible movie but certainly not worth seeing in theatres. Watch it on FX.

I think key is to ensure we don't all take Reactive. Also, Clarion will be pretty important at times too.

Hmm...I always feel like I'm the newbie when I PUG on Exalted since I've only been playing a bit over a year.

My only real complaint about Exalted is redside though. It is a ghost town for realz.

I REALLY like this suggestion, though I concur you're not likely to see anything come of it. But just so you know, at least one other Virtue player agrees.

You know, I'm okay with them recycling or reusing animations since that only speeds up developement time. I mean, I wouldn't complain about new shiny animations but I'm less likely to complain about reused ones if that means I don't have to wait an extra year for a set to be released. And reusing animations means that they can move onto the next new content release animations. Of course, maybe I'm just a wierdo who wants new powers moar and moar and only pay lip service to the animations that they're packaged in.

Took a ~week hiatus from City (kind of unexpectedly or I would've given a heads up). Plan on putting some time on the MM to catch up a bit to you guys but will for sure be there wednesday and if not high enough lvl for whatever the majority want to get done I'll run a side crew for lower SG members/alts as numbers permit

Also, I want puppy dogs, kitty cats and daddy dogs yes please like nao!!!
