My checklist of things I would check on this build (if i was primarily concerned about my defense)
1. 3 lvl 30 Defense IOs in the first 2 toggles. 2 IOs is good too, but you'll lose about 1.6 defense. ( 17.6 vs 16.0 )
2. Do you have Weave? Again slotted for defense (5.86 defense with 3 IOs vs 5.35 with 2) Also having to get Tough (ok you don't have to, but why wouldn't you) gives the additional S/L resist making you even more resistant.
3. Combat Jumping- 1.75 defense base, throw a defense IO in the default and its 2.12
4.Steadfast +3% defense in True Grit. I know you said you don't get set IOs until 40+ but it maxes at 30 so there's no worry about replacing it with a Higher IO later.
5. Sounds like you have Phalanx Fighting so that an additional 3.75 when solo.
My Total with this is 32.33 to all positions (using the 3 Def IOs in each of the 2 main toggles and weave) Its a good start and about the best you can do on a Brute before Set bonus.
You could always take manuevers if you really want the extra defense, but its an end hog, and you won't need it later to softcap.

Quote:I read this as if you pop the red/break free/purple, whatever, before you go into the actually mission, you lose their bonuses. Using them inside the mission still working (just assuming here). This would be in response to the farms (CEBR i can think of off the top of my head) that people would sit at the vendor in AE, buying and using as many Insipirations as they could to reach the damage cap, defense cap, whatever before rushing into the mission and killing things before their two minutes were up.Originally Posted by Stormbird
With today's patch:
Any inspirations you take before going into a mission have their effects stripped. But only in AE.
Now, before you start cheering and making "yay, we are fighting the evil farmer" remarks, remember this will also affect people dealing with boss fights and groups of difficult custom enemies in regular stories. -

Add a "To me" check box before the name in the mail panel, removing the delay between mails and automatically sending the mail to our own box./signed to bothQuote:Originally Posted by ZephyrWind
Agreed.

A proc will function the same at any level. From Paragon wiki:
However, the upside of Procs is that if the power is active, the Proc always work, even if you exemplar way below the level of the Proc. Procs don't follow the -3 level rule that Globals and Set Bonuses do.
Globals (like Numina's, Miracles and LotG) are dependent on level and will only work -3 to the level of the IO. For the case of Numina's and Miracles, this makes the lowest level ones most sought after. LotG, varies between people as it also grants + Def. Some people don't care and go for the minimun level, some people want more Def and don't plan on examplaring down, so go with the 50. Personally I shoot for a middle ground and tend to get lvl 30 or 35s.
Edit: Correction, after looking at Paragon wiki they have Numina's flagged as proc, with no flag on Miracle. I would assume they would both be the same since they do similar things. (Although this seems contrary to my memory, but I might check it out when I get off work) -
For a Halloween type character I'd suggest, Fire/Dark (either corruptor or Blaster, although I have played the /Dark yet on a blaster, but people seem to like it). Fire/Storm Corruptor, for a kind of witch type character. That's what I could think of off the top of my head

I have a lvl 46 or 47 (been a while since I've played her) Plant/Storm Controller as well on Virtue. I might be available for something.

Has anyone tried using the "Lost Cure" on the Lost EB/AV in the Sewer Trial? (If its even able to be used... No Temp Powers?) If anyone has, does it mess with the trial or does it count as defeating him?

It's the taunt effect that is on all tanker attacks.

How did this thread ever seem like a good idea?

Technically Cleave is a cone too but its a small arc (10 ft I think) so I tend to treat it as single target attack and anyone else I hit is just a bonus.

Quote:As much as I dislike RMT between players myself, I'll be intruiged to see if the industry standard on this changes in the next year or two.

If you don't want to see the above, you don't want this change - it turns everyone into a RMT. -

Quote:Its more for people to share names they found available that people might like/want, come to for ideas for names, announce that you're releasing a name if you delete a character, and yes, sometimes find the person who has a name (although there are usually better options for that).Originally Posted by _Elektro_
I'm not sure I understand the goal of the thread?
If I ask for a name and it is available, I can get it assigned to my account here?
If so, I'm looking for:

Did not see this one (too busy play with new shiny toys). Go vampires! Unless they vampires sparkle in which case, Go anything against Vampires!

Quote:Hmm... now that you mention it I don't know that I remember seeing some of the stuff from my GvE box...(But I could have just missed it) Must leave work and check! (Ok not really, but I would love to use that as an excuse just to see the boss' face.)Originally Posted by Serpine
Also on a new char I tried to make this morning both the Collector's Edition capes that I have (Four Winds and Arachnos) did not show up on my selection list. Something seems to be broken with non-booster / non-market unlocks.

Quote:My hope as well... I know I grabbed a few names of some of my characters that I plan to transfer to the VIP server eventually, but I hope people don't just hold name for spite. (Although, I'll admit, I could understand someone doing it with their Global)Originally Posted by Winterminal
(As opposed to a player creating a character with the name simply to keep anyone from getting the name of their character from another server.)

I got a few I was happy with:
Toys
Malevolent
Chivalry
Technomage
Autumn Equinox (Really wanted just Equinox for and Ice/Fire combo of some sort, but oh well)
Night Lord
Quazar
Those are the ones I can remember -
I noticed it too last night. I haven't heard anything if its a bug or not, but I hope so. I always liked that aura.
