  1. I personally like BA on Brutes, if simply for the fury building, flat-out berserker style it encourages. I also just plain like BA, because it's a simple set. No weak powers. No weird mitigation stuff. Just knockdowns and lots of damage until the map is clear and you're covered in blood.

    But that's just me.
  2. Azuria doesn't have the vault, the MAGI guy in Galaxy had the vault. Which begs the question, what do we constantly search for now?
  3. Firstly, no, Spring Attack is not autohit.

    As for Necro/Thermal, I don't think it's the best combo, but it's certainly not the worst. The shields and the heals, including the self-heal that all necro pets eventually get, will help keep your pets alive. I wish my Necro/Poison could reroll as anything with some shields or bubbles to take advantage of that self-heal, but it just wouldn't work from a concept pov. A set with +def would probably help even more, but Thermal is a great set and will certainly pull its weight in aiding your pets/team.

    If you like it, play it.
  4. Get Over Here (Foe TP)
    - Single Use, Choose an enemy (primarily the badge related enemies) to be affected
    - Teleports all enemies of the specified type to your location.

    I Put a Spell on You
    - Turns all Sappers and Sorcerers into Rikti Monkeys

    How Ya Like Me Now?
    - Grants the PC the following powers: Chill of the Night, Hurricane, Caltrops, Sapper Overload, Quicksand, Dispersion Bubble
  5. Moxie Girl will be there, barring horrific unforeseen circumstances. Not sure what we want to do, but I'm sure we'll think of something.
  6. This is a good read. I did a similar style write-up a couple years ago while levelling my Inv/DB tanker, with the intention of making a pseudo-guide. That never happened and the character got shelved at 39, but I'm considering bringing her back.

    Keep it up and don't die.
  7. I am so ready for this set so I can wreck some face with Mourning Star and Samurhinoceros.

    Numbers be damned, I just want to hit bad guys.
  8. Don't worry about it Drew. The group has all but died off; with only three of us remaining, and no one really eager to push the rp and leadership side of things, there wasn't much left to do. Also, going back to school has kind of pooched my own schedule, so I've missed more sessions than I intended.
  9. I transfer them to Victory, since every name imaginable is still available on Victory.
  10. We've been running with about 5 most Thursdays, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Character needs to be a mutant, and more Punisher than Superman on the morals end of things wouldn't hurt given the general theme that bull has set for this group. We're all around level 20-21 right now.

    As well as this MM primary!
    A boomerang blast set? Blasters are squishy enough without...

  12. I have no idea what you're talking about.

    I would picture something akin to the hound pet/teammate in Dragon Age for a charging-type attack.

    You could also use the lvl 18 power for a Gang-war type power but with hunting birds or the like. A targeted aoe like the gunfire from the vanguard jets in the tutorial or Rain of Fire, birds swooping down causing dot, fear, and perhaps a tohit or defence debuff. Not real/persistent pets like Gang War, but provides some control/mitigation.

    I like the set as listed and would definitely give it a go. First I would want to see a female skin for Thugs, so I could play the MM I've been saving a name for for the past year or two, but a beastmaster character would definitely be fun.
  14. Can't say if it looks any better/worse than the other one at this point. Might have to actually see some reviews/more preview stuff before making a call. Likely both will be rentals if I see them.

    Julia Roberts or Charlize Theron? Not a hard decision even before seeing Charlize's awesome work in the other trailer. Julia Roberts just bugs me.
  15. I like the Vahzilok Plague, which lets you battle Dr. Vahzilok if you choose, one of the only AV's available early on blue side.

    World Wide Red is an epic story line. To hell with TF's, this thing is badass.

    The arc from Ashwin Lannister involving Wolfgang Ubelman is also one of my favourites. Time-travelling nazis!
  16. Alright, made it to level 20 to catch up with the rest of you.

    To be fair, neither do most adults.
  18. Probably just time/work. With MA and TW they're giving us +Def powers, so as near as I can tell it's just a matter of pacing themselves with all the other crap they do.
  19. The trailer actually upped my interest in this movie. The other marketing stuff was a little lacking, but that was a solid trailer.

    Besides, my wife will want to see this, so I might as well be optimistic. And Charlize Theron's voiceover... very creepy.
  21. Good sized patch, may want to get on that now if you haven't already.
  22. Finished up a 1/3 of a bar short of 14. This week has been mind-bogglingly messed up, otherwise I would have made it further.

    Energy Melee?

    I like Energy Melee on my Nrg/Nrg brute. On the Inv/Nrg tanker I had to reroll to make that brute, not so much. The power order kills /Nrg for levelling on a tanker for me, with your two big hitters both coming late, tier 8/9, while for a brute they're at tier 7/9. With all the other changes Energy Melee needs to be better, they should move Energy Transfer to tier 7 and dump the worthless low damage stun in tier 8.
  24. Emo-phous Blob...

    I'm still laughing.
  25. New, tankier Moxie Girl will be there to smash some dudes' heads in.
