So we have a wolf, a puppy, and a sack puppet?

Run Fedor! Run!

*Looks out the window*

Holy **** balls that snow is coming down. That's nuts even for me! And I'm Canadian.

Just hit 15 while running the Midnighter arc. Continuing on for the merits if anyone happens to be on and happens to read this post and happens to want to join.

Also, started working on a VV page for Magmauler. Going to work it as a department psychiatrist's report recommending him for the team. Got the next 3 days off, so between that and job hunting I should have a full schedule.

If anyone wants to add me to global friends, go right ahead (@Starflier), although send me a tell if your global is something weird or different from your forum handle.

*Wishes he could go to the Calgary Expo, but can't due to having no money*

Apparently Mr. Nimoy was down in Vulcan today for the first time. Good for them, they've been trying to get him to come out for years.

Or, I could whoop Atta and arrive at the next mission to find every mob has a Spectral Demon Lord in it. Fun!

So, level 15? I'm at 13 at the moment, just starting the Atta mission. Even at my 'slow as molasses' pace I should make it to 15 tonight or this weekend. Looking forward to meeting up with all of you next week.

Smile and nod, smile and nod.

I'm working on my tanker today (currently level 6). Can't make it this Tuesday, but I would like to join up, so I'll aim for next Tuesday.

Posted in the sg forum thread about maybe joining up.

I started a Fire/Earth dom about ten minutes ago and this thread is already helping. So, thanks. Going Mu for patron for concept.

Question to which I'm hoping the answer is yes: is this a 'flashy' combo late game? I'm hoping for epic and awe-inspiring.

Yes.

You probably don't need a heavy duty tanker for a duo, although once Stone is outta the way everything is fair game.

Electric/Stone or Fire/Stone make excellent small team tankers. A primary with some damage, and a secondary with solid aoe mitigation.

Anything would work for a primary, although you might want to consider something with a heal and end recovery (Fire, Elec, Ice).

For a secondary, I'd look for a decent mix of ST and AOE damage with some mitigation for when things get hairy. Stone, SS, DB, WM, BA, and DM would all work.

Good stuff. I'm still working on my Dark/BA tanker, somewhere in the teens right now. Knockdown is good to have, and I'm particularly interested in seeing how Whirling Axe works as a precursor to Dark Regen.

Unfortunately it's slow going as I have about 6 great new characters and 1 old one that are vying for my (rather short-lived) attention.

I enjoyed every minute of my MA/Fire which I built with perma-hasten in mind. 'In mind', because I need 10 purples and a LotG to get there and I simply don't play my 50's, so that'll never happen. That said, he sits at 55% global recharge and pumps out damage with Focus Chi and Fiery Embrace coming up quickly and Blazing Aura just chewing up enemies.

And Dark/Fire is just a ludicrously entertaining combo. Build ups, heals, and end recovery tools out the wazoo.

A note on /Fire: I found it wasn't effective to build towards utilizing burn. If you solo a lot, leave it out unless you're using it for your immob protection. Teamed with a troller though, that's a pile of damage.

Hell, last time I went on a hami raid, it was all about perma-Rest and 6-slotted Brawl. How things change...

Scrapper, Any/Any, although Katana/Willpower is about the easiest out of the box character you'll find.

Oddly enough, I've been thinking of making almost this exact thread. Well almost. I don't have a camera yet, but it's something I've wanted to get into. So extra thanks for all the advice and such.

Well, there's this guide to get you started. Some more info here and here, and build discussion here, and some discussion on WP/DB tankers here. I don't actually have one myself, so I don't have a build for you.

So you don't so much have an actual issue with Mids, you have an issue with people who take pool powers? I mean, unless you're using a random process for picking your powers, you're still planning your build, same as anyone who uses Mids.

This is not the thread you are looking for.
