    I'll be there tomorrow, unless it takes forever to download and install the patch, which it might.

    A total rehaul of my lineup on virtue. Deleting a bunch, but those server transfers are going to be so nice.
  4. Starflier
    A few miracle uniques and a lotg.

    Not as bad as standing at the exit part of the train station ranting in team chat about how lag is messing with the damned trains.

    Let's be fair to Dolph, it's not exactly like any schmuck off the street gets a third degree black belt in karate. He may be mainly a B-list actor, but looking at everything else he does, he's like Batman-smart.

    Arnold Vosloo. Pik van Cleef (Hard Target) is one of my all-time favourite movie villains.

    Bane.

    Why? I don't know. Seems a 'tad' more stable than a lot of them and a little more straightforward rather than off-the-wall wacko. Batman's rogue gallery definitely wouldn't be my first choice when applying for henchman work.

    Dunno 'bout that, they'd probably be fairly evenly matched on skill level.

    I won't be able to make it tonight, as I need to head out to buy more school supplies. Not exactly looking forward to it, but it needs to be done. Hopefully I'll see you next week.

    My first brute...

    POST-ACTION

    Stone/Electric - excellent synergy (recharge/AoE/end from Elec reinforce Stone very well), lighter on AoE than some, but SMASH and ST are good, Fault + Tremor will improve survivability by a mile.

    Electric/Fire - Blazing Aura + Fiery Embrace + Build Up + Lightning Rod + Burn, what's not to like?
  13. Starflier
    I laughed.

    The animation might scale with size, I believe some effects do, but the actual area will not.

    "Thou shall not suffer a witch to live." Exodus 22:18

    Why? Because witches have storm powers and storm powers cause knockback.

    So don't make Jesus sad, just say no to knockback.

    PS. This is a joke.

    Given the changes to EA, particularly the stalker version, I feel safe in saying we'll get one.

    And last week's episode was probably the best of the season so far. Bladez reaction to Codex and Tink kissing was awesome.

    Who is nuke-able?

    POST-ACTION

    The Plutonian likely could handle that (being essentially 'Superman'). Max Damage, depending on how long he's been awake could easily take a direct hit, although he'd be completely off his rocker from sleep deprivation at that point.

    Ajax, from CoH Omega team likely could, since he's supposedly literally invulnerable to harm, and not just really tough.

    S/L is so common that it covers most attacks, since many ranged & elemental/energy attacks have some s/l component. Psi damage, imo, is just too rare to bother slotting for.
  21. Starflier
    I've considered starting fresh, although if I do it will likely be with 2 new characters on the VIP server. There are a few on virtue that I plan to get rid of, either by straight deletion or server transfers, so that I can roll something new. Among these would be Planet Smasher, Karma Kincaid, Zero for Hire, Grim Fandango, Sunrazer, Warrior Widow, Incorruptible, and Galvanized. Maybe a few others, but at some point they just need to go if you're not enjoying them.

    Turns out 66 months and a week or two is exactly how long I could stand the recharging power queue sound. Now I can just push all my buttons with reckless abandon and see what happens! Mua ha ha ha!

    New stuff, is new stuff. It all goes into the giant Creator grab-bag and comes out as something new. Kinda hard to see the female barbarian costume (for me at least) since whoever made it decided to colour it the same as the skin. I welcome any and all new options. Maybe I might find some new pieces to add to my Native American costume (which might fit the barbarian bill, I dunno, you guys are a little psycho on the topic).

    Well, you certainly found a crapload of defence. 50+ on melee and s/l.

    Without fiddling too much with what you have currently, there are a few changes I would make.

    Changing the End Mod in consume to the End Mod/Recharge will cut about 15 seconds off the recharge, with only minimal reduction to end/foe.

    I would drop Maneuvers for Fiery Embrace. This still leaves you safely over the soft-cap, saves some endurance, and gives you a good boost to damage.

    I would change one of the Defence in Combat Jumping to a Karma -KB, to replace the one lost in Maneuvers. It only drops defence by 0.6%.

    Also, changing the Gladiator +3% def in Temp Protection to a Steadfast +3% def would likely pay for most of the rest of your IO's and net almost the same benefit.

    Swapped a Def/End into Weave, dropped the other def from CJ for a LotG +Recharge, and 5-slotted Doctored Wounds into Healing Flames for the recharge bonus.

    Your def to Melee and S/L is still above soft-cap (~47%), saves some influence, and some end, which will hopefully come in handy since Obliteration has almost no End Reduction as a set.
