    Mid left sometime right after joining the Titan Network, and several members of the CiT dev team have taken it over since then. Currently, it is Diellan and has been for quite some time.

    If I manage to get the bomb badge before then on my scrapper, I'll bring something different.

    I would hazard a guess that this would fail it. Similar to how you auto-fail one of the "old style" Master TFs if someone is dead when it starts. Either way, Veng isn't necessary or even really all that helpful. Very few people die from AM's normal attacks and instead die from the Obliteration Beam or Disintegration.
  4. I can't guarantee that I'll be available, but if I'm able to I'll show up in Pocket D around this time in case you need more. That said, these usually have good turn-outs so you may not need my help. Good luck.
  5. While I intend on reserving some names should I ever decide to swap, I have no plans to move at this time.
  6. A couple odd questions that this post brought up...

    So you intend on using brawl and boxing?

So if I did pick up Veng, that would be my only set mule power 90% of the time. It does have other benefits however it's not in my current build, that may change in the future.
    Shouldn't Resurrect be viewed in the same manner then?

    Also, I didn't catch this before, but no Rain of Fire makes me sad.

    All that needs to be fixed is getting Fire Blast for defenders into Mids. Which, if you look at the power selections from Ice Blast you can easily enough get an idea of what powers I'll be choosing from Fire Blast in the corresponding power selections. Blast, Ball, Blaze, Inferno, Aim.

    Silas this should be easy enough for you to switch into Sonic and take a look at the differences between yours and mine. It's perfect for me and what I want it to do. Specifically, melt faces while still being yayanEmpath and being as effective as possible with both. As always with any build not everyone is going to agree everything that goes into a build. Some people like PBU, some people want Ranged Def, some people want Veng, everyone wants somethin' different if they really think about it. This however is specifically geared towards me and my play-style and what I want. So to each his own, this is just how Force be doin' it.
    Curiosity's sake, what will you be replacing Freeze Ray with from /fire?

    Still some oddities that I wouldn't have done, but stat-wise it's much more in line with something I would personally play.

    I would probably go with the Membranes and see about increasing overall global recharge. That's just me though.
  10. Just on a whim, I took Silas' build, made it cheaper while keeping the essential base attributes more or less the same. Recharge was the main thing that took a hit, but not enough to be of much detriment.

    This provides me with a segue into another point of conversation. If you find a build that you like, but can't afford, there are substitutes for purples and PVPIOs that work for most builds with a little finagling.

    If you continue to play around with it, might see if it's possible to slot fortitude for defense a little. As I said, the build has it's own merit, these are just the things I would personally shoot for if I were given this build and told to change as little as possible but make it "better".

    While I'm not particularly on either side of this argument, you do have recurring payments for the "licenses" for IOs, the Market, and AE. All three of those together is $9/month, so given that a sub is $10 with the point allotment, there's really only a $1 difference and that would cover the other things.

    Granted, that does change depending on the number of vet rewards and what have you, so it may be a moot point, but still worth noting.

    This build has merit, but the recharge makes me die a little inside. That said, softcapped S/L/E and ranged is impressive in and of it's own right. Nice job.

    I'm back.

    Kickball happens every Saturday at 8PM or so I'm led to believe.
  15. The best way to cause a revolutionary change is to get the people behind you first, then the "government" will follow suit. In a system where people are free to come and go as they please, and those people are the same ones giving the "government" its money, this is especially true.

    Just food for thought.

    Smooth like butter, all 3 badges back-to-back.

    Also, in case anyone was wondering, these are the alternate/split routes I used for Well-Stocked and Antacid:

    Nice, looks like a full house. I'll be in game in just a few moments to start gathering people up, had a few issues with my router this morning that I'm making sure are ironed out really quickly before I log in.
  18. You know, I had seen this so many places, I didn't realize no one had posted it here yet.

    Admittedly, if it wasn't for my scrapper needing the badges, I would probably have mine as well. Maybe next time through.

    Valid point, I just interpreted it as referring to the whole set. That said, depending on the power, I sometimes slot the ToHit, +Perception, and one common instead of the ToHit/Recharge, and I know others who will do the same.

    The market here may be a little larger than you expect since RR is a convenient set to help with softcapping S/L defense on a squishie in PVE. Nice info nonetheless, will be interesting to see if we see a supply spike in that range.

    Just a reminder, I still need a volunteer to lead team 2. You don't have to do a whole lot other than knowing the maps in the gathering phase, because I have some alternate routes devised to make the acids only and grenades only runs a bit less strenuous.

    Go Emp/Sonic, regret nothing.
  24. I don't want to take a spot since I already have the badge, but I will be online and available to help with this if you need people.
  25. I eventually need to make it to one of these, it just seems like 6-8 is when all my rl friends want to meet up for coffee or some such.
