i like trick arrow, it's fun, and different, but if someone wants to buff it, i won't complain

i solo way too much to get anything out of FF or Sonic, which sucks, because, thematically speaking, i love sonics as super powers. but i can't get a corr or a def going with SRes, too many team dependent powers. That being said, "oh well", that's what the sets were designed for, plenty of buff debuff sets in this game and others that are focused on teammates and not yourself. so i don't use them, why is this so hard for folks to grasp? at what point do we realize that we have become way too self centered a society, when we expect people to change everything to meat our whims? hey OP, maybe you should go spend some time with your mommy, just so you can get your "center of the universe" fix in, and stop trying to change everything else around you to suit your needs.


and, good rule of thumb; if you are on the other side of an argument from EvilRyu, you can pretty much assume you are on the side of sanity.

i can absolutely, positively, guarantee that there will be a power proliferation in i21. wanna know why, and what? that would be dark miasma to trollers, why you ask, well i'll tell ya. i've had a character concept sense i started playing that was a grav troller, and with what we had available, DM would be a great secondary, but it just wasn't available. now that time manip is coming, it makes a much better fit for my character concept, therefore, we will now get DM as a secondary for trollers now that i no longer need it




(i won't tell them that i have a fire/DM troller concept as well, cuz if i did, it would just jinx it again and we would never get it)



true story!

any other toon, and someone could, maybe, make a decent argument over better usage of some slots ( i wouldn't, i love my quad slotted PS proc Brute), but on a Brute, who's strength is non-stop smashitude, slot all you can get!!!

Steel, whatever is wrong with you, is no small thing.


you sir, have an amazing batch neurosis and idiosyncrasies, that have made all of our lives here on the forums, a better place. Your writing skills are excellent, your sense of humor is spot on, and your "tournament"? well, that's just entertaining as all heck, as long as I don't have to do it myself (the minute i bring a spreadsheet into a hobby, that hobby gets dropped, there will be NO WORKING while playing, it's my rule).

But thank you Steelclaw, thank you for being a big ball of crazy, and for always making threads worth reading. I don't think i can say i have ever regretted reading anything Steel wrote, and i don't think i can say that about my favorite authors.

played a wm/wp, a wm/fa and a wm/elea.....

go in reverse order for best performance, i love willpower and all, but it doesn't bring as much to the table as the other two, wm/fa is a damage machine, just tons of fun, but your blue bar doesn't like you so much until you get your powers well slotted, and consumes recharge is kinda long. elec armor has been amazing, good resists, GREAT blue bar help, extra recharge. i built for recharge and recovery, it's NON-STOP SMASHY GOODNESS!!!1! and i do mean non-stop, you get fury built up and it doesn't drop until you are out of enemies.

/wp is always good, solid, no hassle, no clicks. but is kinda boring now, and doesn't really perform that much better then the other two to warrant giving up their tools. self heals, end recovery, end drain or burn, just tons of fun man, tons of fun.

i may have to attend this, haven't been to a comic con in....... damn, a long time

elec/elec is very nice, though i prefer elec armor over elec melee, it is lacking in single target damage, though it makes up for it in AoE, and talk about never needing to build for end management, elec armor is just "wow" for your blue bar.

EM is fun, single target almost exclusively, whirling hands needs....... well it's a darned waste of a power slot if you ask me, and i ain't no min/max'er, i play concept toons strictly, numbers come a distant second, and whirling hands still sux, sorry BUT, if you are a solo'er, or just enjoy the ST damage type, EM still works just fine, the higher end powers are a little slow to animate, but it doesn't bother me too much.

EA will get you alot of conflicting opinions, ALOT. most will say "it's teh suxors", but i gotta disagree. It's relatively easy to soft cap, has great end management, stealth if you want to take advantage of it, and a minuscule heal, and, when you have everything running, it's PRETTY!!!

in the end, i say make both, play both toons out of Praetoria, see which one you like better, and run with it, not like you don't have enough character slots to play with in this game.

I think Moo's frustration is correct, and let me 'splain why.

it's not the argument over which group of end game players has the numeric edge, solo or team. It's that when this end game content launched, the devs made a point of specifying that solo'able end game content was intended from the very beginning. So whether they worked on the raids for 6 or 7 months, or 6 or 7 years, the point is that they have been planning solo content for it since inception. And why the solo content is lagging behind is causing alot of folks alot of grief, it would have been alot easier to swallow if the concept of end game solo content hadn't been initially championed by the devs, and they had just told us "end game = massive raids", then we would have gotten what was promised and would have not had unfulfilled expectations.

so, though i enjoy the raids sometimes, and i split my time between solo and team play, i too am anxiously awaiting the promised solo incarnate content. I'm not quite at the point of an angry forum rant, but i must side with the OP on this one, don't promise what you aren't going to deliver, especially to a playerbase of a MMO, much better to throw solo content in later, without ever mentioning it, and make it an unexpected surprise.

why blame WS? blame the Japanese, their depiction of blacks in general has always been........ odd. I wouldn't call it offensive or anything, i just don't think they have a cultural basis for them. and honestly, Blade was a second rate comic character at best before WS did those movies. Not saying those movies were astounding or anything, just that he portrayed a Blade that i thought was much cooler then the half realized character in the comics.

elec armor single handedly fixed my altitis, true story


my km/eleA brute is awesome, i've been working on a sm/wp, but it's a little slow going compared to elec armor, hadn't thought of that combo at all.

so, I've started a couple of doms... but none have gotten over the early 20's yet, and all of them are definitely becoming more vulnerable, I've heard this goes away and they get really great again. am i to assume that that is correct? i would love for all of them to "turn the corner", but I'm worried that it may just be that i need more defenses to play correctly
