I've deleted a few, mostly due to social things. Since transfers were made available I did it less often. I strip 'em down, throw their stuff in a bin, then log out and nuke 'em. It's very easy.

He's onto us. ****.

This thread alone indicates that actually, no, most people on the forums don't appreciate the greatness of DA.

Because math is not as important to people as how they truthily think.

There, it's less impressive. It procs fairly often, but the issue here is that Dark Regeneration costs 33 Endurance and hits up to 10 targets. Saturated, it's going to fire off twice, automatically giving you back 20 end... and on lucky streaks even more.

It's not bad. It's just not as amazing as it is in DR.

Just you wait, Dechs, people will claim the mitigation you get out of Focus and shockwave completely negates your argument.

To my mind there are three tiers of 'perma hasten.' The first is a character who, without the hasten click power, has a global recharge of 70%; for example, this:



The upside of it is you get the same very tangible feel of your powers recharging faster, but on endurance-sensitive characters you're not going to have a crash to worry about. Plus, with the way sets are these days, it's not hard to have this kind of recharge as an incidental thing after you've done other stuff. The goal number for this is 70%.

Second there's Perma-hasten thanks to over-socketing hasten with 5, or 6 +recharge enhancements. I don't have any screenshots of that, but with your recharge in the district of 75-90, plus Spiritual incarnate, you can probably get that.

Third, there's actual perma-hasten where with enough global recharge and normal socketing of hasten (3 level 50 recharge IOs), you can put the power on auto and have it never 'fall off.' This needs something in the district of 110 or 115% recharge, and here's an example:



I'd recommend you start at the top. It's a challenging task for some archetypes.

(I just noticed that my two example pics are of billionaires. That's not an unreasonable expectation for the second build. But then, if you're willing to look into it, the market is a great way to make money.)

Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.

I bought it. I paid for it. So clearly, it's worth it.

Right now, if anyone wants a patron power they have to do the patron arc; heroes have an additional gating of 22 missions ahead of that over four days. If the idea of spending that much time and effort to get a power you like is too much for a hero, it should be too much for a villain too.

Make 'em change based on what alignment you are.

I don't mind that patron pools are desireable; I don't even mind that they're a lot of work to get if you want them, because it rewards the effort with what might be a mildly improved level of power. I don't mind the idea that you don't want that work to be going evil, then doing a villain arc and coming back.

I do mind if the total work involved in getting a hero patron is easier and faster than going villain and coming back. I do mind if the powers are different because then you're opening up the exact same problem for villains, and it becomes a 'screw you, I got mine' concern.

Bug it.

ITT: People who don't know what they're talking about talking with absolute confidence.

EM's fine. It's slow-animating, but if that doesn't bother you it performs very well.

Ask to be escalated. It's what I did when a GM told me that you can't pick up ancillary powers at 35.
