Really? I consider Clear Mind just about the least important power in the set. Possibly tied with Absorb Pain.

You could be paralyzed and poking the keyboard with a mouth stylus and the miniscule movement boost from AM still shouldn't present a real problem. Can you not handle the blazing speed of Sprint, either?

That could be especially awesome alongside a device-based control set.

Stacked bread slices don't work (or work very poorly) for a number of purposes one would want thick bread slices for (for instance: sandwiches, french toast, or garlic bread). Meanwhile a thicker bread slice can be compressed or sliced thinner by those who prefer thinner slices for whatever insane reason. So, given the choice between thick slices or thin slices, thick slices would be the way to go. But a good dark rye would be better than wheat or white.

It's listed as a "Proc120" on Paragonwiki, meaning it activates when the power it is slotted in is activated and persists for 120 seconds.

I've been out clearing and burning brush in temperatures of around 40-45 degrees C before, and it's certainly no fun. But it was a dry heat which is far better than the 30+ C with insane humidity that's been hanging around here the past few days.

27 degrees C is about 6-8 degrees C too warm for me.

Taking... too... long...

I like it when they arrive by cab, and despite these signs they get out of the cab and send it away and then get all indignant when you don't have a room for them and they no longer have a cab on hand.

In more topical news: in my experience, the Boosters are usually up in the store by the time scheduled maintenance is scheduled to be over.

Oh the things that must be explained and re-explained at length to the idiot customers.

I would hate such a change. One of the awesome things about Force Bubble is its sheer size. I like to fly around with it on just to show off my awesomely huge bubble. It's one of the few powers I've gotten and thought "okay, now THAT is a super power" when I activated it.

Indeed, but I was looking for the appropriate non-existent time zone to go with it. For instance: R'lyeh Non-Standard Time.

What time zone?

I'm sure it is unfortunately the most efficient way, but I find the process so mind-numbingly dull that I can't bring myself to delve into it to that extent. If I were interested in efficiency I probably wouldn't be buying crafted basic IOs when I could be crafting them myself.

The purchase history is all I have to go on for making potentially viable bids. Making low shots in the dark that may never hit their mark and waiting weeks on end to get lucky doesn't appeal to me.

Also, if I'm buying a recipe/salvage it's because I want/need it right then. If I put it off for a week or more, there's a good chance I'll forget exactly what I was up to.

The former means only crafting something once in order to have the enhancement I want. It's direct, simple, and already entails more time spent dealing with the Market and Crafting than I'd like. If IOs - both basic and sets - weren't so much more desirable to me than the standard enhancements I might not touch the Market or Crafting at all.

That would be my suggestion as well. Indeed, I'm one to skip Mayhem/Safeguard missions altogether.

Could be. I haven't taken any of the melee attacks, nor any attacks that would cause redraw. I typically spam AoEs interspersed with single target ranged attacks. If I could reliably have Luck inspirations on hand I'd feel comfortable soloing at higher spawn sizes, but as it stands he tends to take too much damage to risk more enemies.

Global accuracy isn't something I find I'd need to shoot for, generally.

The Recovery is something I achieved (or nearly so) by necessity on my Toggle Man inspired build, but on most other characters I have isn't something that I would find particularly useful. I did that about a year ago, I believe, and the availability of recipes in general seems to have gone down a great deal since then.

Regen might be something to aim for on some characters. Perhaps my Defense-based characters who I'll likely not be able to softcap.

Defense is what I often find myself wanting, of course, but it is from my perspective ridiculously expensive. And rising further out of reach - last time I was seriously looking into IOs I was shocked by prices of 10-20 million coupled with rare salvage prices of 1-2 million, now I look at the market and see those recipes going for 60 million+ (when available at all) and the salvage sometimes rising up to 7 million or higher. It's daunting to get into.

I could try going for merits, but in my experience merit rewards are far too meager for the time and effort involved.

I hardly ever get salvage or recipes that sell for a significant amount (though my Toggle Man inspired character did just sell a recipe for 40 million today, edging him slightly over the aforementioned 80 million mark and making him officially the richest character I've ever had). And I find the crafting system to be dull, so I would only be crafting recipes that I'd be personally using.

Yes, a purely subjective appraisal may turn out to be a fact. But in the meantime it is still a purely subjective appraisal even to the person who holds it.

On the other hand, a belief is typically a fact to the person who holds it even if it is unproven.

Synonyms aren't always synonymous. Feel free to toss that statement right back at me regarding something I believe I was saying SEVERAL pages ago. I'm just having fun with semantics. I have no real stake in this argument, I just find language and the ensuing quarrels over its meaning amusing sometimes.

Sometimes there just isn't. Sometimes a purely subjective appraisal is purely subjective.

If I'm the only tank in the group, I prefer to charge in first and bop the nearest boss on the nose (or multiple bosses and Lts with an AoE if I have one). Then I generally run through my attacks and toss a Taunt, if I have it, at the edge of the group (or at an enemy I see turning towards one of my teammates).

If I'm not the only tank in the group, I like to hang back for a moment and let the other tank charge in, then move in myself and try to pick up stragglers.

If I'm a Scrapper, I like to charge in ahead of the tank screaming like a banshee and make the Defender's life more interesting.
