I don't need to list his IO set-up because it's pretty basic and can be summed up in one word: regen. He's got most powers semi-frankenslotted with 2 pieces from one set, 2 from another, etc. Regen is the first set bonus so you can get lots of it and you can get it cheap. Not counting the cost of the Numina and Miracle uniques (because I had them lying around), the build cost under 30 million infl. He's got the 12% bonus five times, the 10% bonus five times, the 8% bonus five times, etc. He has 300% regen and I've tanked Lord Recluse with him. He has NOTHING to boost defense - not Combat Jumping, not even the Steadfast unique.

I might respec to get him Physical Perfection since that didn't exist when I finished his build. I can drop the Medicine pool since I stopped needing it after IO'ing him. I never used it again EXCEPT when tanking Lord Recluse with the red tower up.

So, to answer your question: maxing resistance and the defense you already get works fine for me, backed up with serious regen. I always saw invuln as primarily a resistance build so I took that and ran with it. He laughs at those clowns in Cimerora with their defense debuffs.

Even then, you have to wait a few minutes after the event starts for mobs to appear. You could have had a sync error, but I'm more inclined to believe it was a banner event.

As a whole, "Going Rogue", from what I've read/heard up to now, doesn't appeal to me. It hasn't hit me as an "oh, that sounds new and fun and different-enough" expansion like CoV did. *shrug*

I get more enjoyment reading your posts and imagining your eyes getting all glazed over and Doe-like with excitement from new things like this and other Issue updates.

Name: Baroness Munchhausen. Female

Powersets: Electrical Melee / Shield Defense (scrapper)

Origin: Mutation

Appearance: typical Heraclea character, fairly tall and robust, long black hair. Wears an English monocle. Three costumes so far:

- black minidress with fishnets and high heeled boots
- black buckled leather
- tan jacket over black tank top, camo slacks and duster hat.

Shield logo is the "Bird" heraldic eagle.

Some of her sample binds:

"You cannot win, $target. I once defeated the entire Red Chinese army with a packet of Alka-Seltzer."

"Remind this $target about how I held off a thousand ninjas in Macao with a nail file."

"Don't try to climb K2 like I did, $target. I broke a heel."

"In the Peruvian Andes, we used to use $targets as bait in the tarrasque traps."

"I taught Ms. Liberty everything she knows, $target. About fighting, anyways. That trick with the jello shots was her own idea."
