I agree... about two holds and I'm held through Unyielding. Yay.

If I remember about it, I'll be there - could use another Hami for my Knockout Blow .

During the evening is the only time I can play, but I often find myself rooted in Siren's Call (, where I can actually make a difference thanks to the new build and the temporary powers ...).

Have broken off to help out someone with Jack in Irons and Baphomet, though, so it wouldn't be out of the question to act as faceplantmachine for you .

Bright Nova + Build Up (+ 6-slotted blasts pre ED = Love)

Incandescent Strike too .

[/ QUOTE ]
Teleport isn't really that bad. I TP around a lot with my /DA Brute, using only the initial slot in TP (that means one endurance reduction enhancements - and then 3-slotted Stamina), and I rarely need to rest after porting around.

To my own surprise, I actually managed to think up a respec for the Private last night:

I3 build - my glory build, which I've been using pretty much always - and the one I dinged 50 with... activate Rage and damage cap was reached for the 6-slotted attacks, wait for Rage to stack (which it did for 20-30 seconds, as far as I remember) and the other attacks reached the cap too (this has of course not been possible since ED) .

I6 build - getting Haymaker and Knockout Blow earlier (so they're active in Siren's Call , where KO Blow worked nicely last night... mwhahah), same with Dull Pain (now heals for 1003 points of damage ) - at the expense of my beloved Flurry . Sadly Rage didn't quite fit in before 30, but oh well... I manage.

It's my I3 build I dinged 50 with. I am well aware of the changes to slotting and resitances/defences. Have tried several times thinking up a respec for him... to no avail.

Wasn't back when someone sent me a tell, asking if I was a Dreck engine. Puzzled by the term, I sent a tell back, asking what a Dreck engine was. "Fire/Fire Tanker" was the answer, in a more mutilated way, of course . "Sadly," I had to tell him "no" (I'm a nut about Dreck... *cough* no, really!)

A Dreck engine... teehee... *frolics off*

Downtime... what's that?

I believe Knight Torment's up there as well .

that actually looks fun - unlike how it actually is in the zones.

[...] Remember you have scrapper level defences and resistance caps. So RES cap is only 70% (or was it 75% jsut woken up brain no work) [...]

I thought it was Tanker level defences at Scrapper level bases.

Scrapper cap is 75%, btw. .

Btw, it seems possible for heroes to be in coalition with villain groups and hence maybe enter each other bases as villains or heroes? Anybody tried this out?
