Stryph

I'm just struggling for the right build myself. Never chose the caltrops because of how it messes with AI and I hate chasing my targets. That being said, before I enter a group I'll throw Blinding Powder and coupled with Duplicity it can work out nicely as a good temp distraction. It's a bit of a pain though, wont deny that.

The difficulty I'm having is allocating the slots properly with the powers. I plan to run four sets of Lucks: Ninja Def, Senses, Restu, and Weave/Acrobatics (Retsu, Weave/Acro will be five slotted while weave and acro only slotted to four since Karma takes a spot).

Unfortunately mids wont work on my computer so I have no real "road map", gotta go off the top of my head. Any particular guides to follow for a Kin/Nin set?

I just put Kismet Accuracy and Kismet Defense to follow up with a silly recovery bonus.

Morning, afternoon, and evening everyone.

Well, hope everybody is doing alright. Lot of **** going on on the East end of the specific and my condolences go out to those caught in the travesty.

Build a bridge and get over it?


Never bothered me, I consider it more like an indicator for having the same done for them. Of course drive-bys are a bit foreign to me, never encountered such an event. But groups, this happens all the time. Hell I try to buff support/CC first the best I can to give them an edge over combat.

Watches as countless animated swords appear out of nowhere and begin to spin around in unison as if dancing. "It's a TRAP!"

Do the monkey!

((Well should she come back, Seraph could easily find means to harass a few would-be catastrophic mages! She owed him a date after all ))

Alex, in his double-form Enerjack, stood quietly with many others as the funeral was held surrounding the spot that would become her tomb. Hands clasped and rested behind his back while he kept his chin lowered, hovering just above his collar. There the hero exposed his deepest regrets in private, she was a hero and a friend - she was one of them; those who gathered around. A hero in his book but also just another person doing what they thought was right as well. Guided by her own form of moral code, that which Alex grew to respect even when being just a simple onlooker to her open clashes out in the streets with would-be dangerous villains.

When the time came to take leave, Alex approached for his turn to say his goodbyes. A backwards fitted baseball cap was on his head, eyes covered by his signature black shades with yellow lenses, beneath those lenses rested two emerald hue orbs that stared into the abyss that was Seri's grave. There one could easily identify the woman but beneath that clear casket, Alex saw the woman in her full bloom state; the smile and polite nature that he came to affiliate her by. Placing his right hand onto the face of the casket, his hand hovered nearly a foot from her face; stopped by the thick glass that encased her. His head lowered, he went to say his goodbyes of admiration and hope that in the next form, next life, or whatever she believed; that she would be happy - and truly free at peace.

When he removed his hand, Alex leaned back and straitened. Thunder crackled in the distance and as he looked up to gaze at the sky, a droplet landed onto the shade of his right lens. A little smirk of hope rose on that boy's face, 'Ironic, that during a time of morning - this moment gives me strength.' In the distance sporadic fingers of plasma tickled the base of super cells over head, 'That better be you telling me to get my *** to work!' The boy added in thought, that smirk of his grew until his mouth gaped and a soft audible chuckle could be heard.

The young man looked back to the grave, back at the lying woman's face. As he sifted through his jacket, he pulled out what looked like a poster. A makeshift poster at that, on it's surface spread out were two separate articles. One one half Seri and on the other the famous Enerjack, cut outs from the tabloids and the best two individuals pictures he could find. There he cut and pasted the two pictures together with some hopeless romantic saying: "Together will have to wait, world needs saving still; be patient dollface."

"It's just a joke." he said softly, setting the poster down. "Dreams of a child have to move on someday." Sifting through his jacket again, patting himself with his free hand as he looked around for something to find and also put down. There was a moment of worry, that there was nothing fitting for the beautiful queen. Until he reached up and removed his goggles, setting them too down. "Here, they helped me see through reality in a different perspective; maybe you help you as well." Showing one more parting goodbye, Alex stepped back and then turned about to walk away. As he cleared the distance from himself and the crowd, having his turn, the hero known as Enerjack stepped out into the clear.

Pausing in a pose, Enerjack looked over at a pair of people. A news caster and her teammate cameraman looked over. "What, you'd thought I'd sparkle? Psh!" And just like that in a nearly blaring flash of light, a bolt struck down to the ground from above and using him as the conduit; his body vanished.

What bugs me is I'm going to have to tough it out if I want my main to get the final Tier Spiritual Alpha, 32 shards plus 2 Notices of The Well to make the ultra rare final recipe piece. >_<


Hopefully they add some kind of benefit for players who run weekly strike targets where if you have had your alpha slots unlocked, you can get shard drops. Does this happen right now? If not, this week is gunna blow since Psyche and Mantis are bellow the 45 mark (let alone shards still only drop off 50+'s right?).

My apologies for necro'ing a near month old topic but I felt posting a second topic of similar discussion would be just as bad.


My main concern is the endurance cost. Must it be so high, I can understand being in combat would/should take big chunks out like it does but right now as it is it can be a pain to manage at low levels as soon as you get your travel power.


My idea would also be to completely revamp Teleport Foe and instead make it a Combatic variant where you teleport to the target and strike with a cheep shot. This still requires a target.


A secondary affect of the travel power itself could revolve around using your map (requiring fog off war to be cleared) as well as entering specific hubs of zones you've already visited. Kind of like a self sufficient transit system.

Other than that, the limitations of this game make it a wee bit difficult to design it kind of like Champions. Which TP was something they got exceptionally well right off the bat (abused all to hell in PVP but it shouldn't even have PVP to begin with).

So wait, I had just gotten my first Notice of the Well and made Spiritual Total Radial Revamp where it states it applies level shift. That means when people click on my main they'll see the (+1) right?

Vigilantes can get invited for LRSF right?

I prefer more serious atmospheres than complete randomness to be honest. I like being able to approach a stranger and both express mutual maturity to the other while RPing each character's persona pretty well.

Where's the notifications anyways for "TF of the Week"? They said they'd announce them on the patcher and main page but I don't see it.


I'd be down for Fridays if room is available on Seraph whose the closest I got to completing through the Alpha tiers. BS/WP Stalker.

EDIT: NM, just woke up. Fridays will be good for me as long as I don't end up working, with which this manager I can never be sure. Tonight I'll be available or should be as long as there's a way to get a hold of whoever is leading this stuff.

For SR I'd actually argue going Cardiac. I haven't studied the Alphas enough to know if the sub sets later will really benefit. I believe Masc right now gives bonus to defense debuffs as a sub set (I forget the others) so if damage is all you're going for, it could be arguably passable.

But like all things, there is no right or wrong - only preference.

EDIT: Oh Endurance Mod for tier 2 Radial, which is unavailable atm. Still dunno, guess it kind of depends what you feel like rolling with.

He'll probably find out he's some descendant of The Phoenix.

Speaking of Stamina, what is the preferred choice IOs to go in if 4 or 6 slotting? On my BS/WP I six slotted with Performance but that was because I was naive and picked the max 50 IOs.

Placate is essential for quick kills on bosses when solo'ing. Generally on any primary I get it when it first becomes available. I run Kin/Nin and have to say no matter what secondary you pick, being choosy can have good and bad effects. I think more so it has to do with the slotting than actually getting the right powers. You can have all the right powers but if they're not hitting (which is an issue I have though a lot less since putting Kismet: Accuracy in Hide) or dealing sufficient damage, what's the point?
