I like every single part of your post but I felt like this particular line deserved to be quoted for sheer cleverness. Well done sir.

At first I was like,

blank stare.
blank stare.

And then I said, hey look! He has two heads!

Well played.

This guy knows.

I try not to be snippy, sorry if I'm coming across that way. The tone I was hoping to carry over was more "bemused" than anything else. I guess we differ in some respects because I actually still think my joke was funny. I don't mind stupid, heck I have been known to indulge in serious in-depth conversations about meticulous creation and handling of fictional video game characters (and all of their pros, cons, and the like...) Silly keeps me content.

I just realized that this guy took a new and diverse approach to asserting his superiority by judging my little joke on its' artistic merits.

The dumb joke or the analytical berating?

Congratulations you pwnt me with your cleverness. You now win 5 paragon points, thus awarding you this smiley face:

Anyways, just for the record my last post was only an observation. I'm not butthurt or anything, I just think it's peculiar (and sometimes perplexing) how things work sometimes.

I just picture like, one of you guys working as a cashier at a store I shopped in and I made a joke you thought was sort of silly.. So instead of just going "keke," you gave me an analysis of why my joke was not funny and told me what could be done to improve upon it in the future.

I'm not sure what you're saying.

Are you not aware of this joke?

Or are you saying you are aware of it, but you don't think it's good because not everyone knows who Nemesis is?

It looks like your questions were already answered, at least.

I am doomed to never be able to make videos.

Savior, what days are good for you? I would be glad to devote a couple of hours each weekend to livening up Praetoria on Protector. Like I said, we were able to get a good team together for a fun time.

Or they should learn to cope with being in high pressure situations and use all the tools available to them to survive more often and get more mileage out of their characters.

I have a Blaster that pretty much lives in melee. He takes alpha strikes, he doesn't have a self heal, and he doesn't have a self rez power. He's also one of my favorite characters to play. There is nothing that can't survive in high pressure situations if played correctly. Obviously, no one plays perfect all the time, which is why it's nice to have things like Vengeance (which is how this whole thing got started in the first place.)

When it comes to getting extra aggro there is really no AT or powerset that doesn't have the ability to survive the onslaught. I take the brunt of the alpha strikes when I do this, and often find that some other players can't handle it. I also find that very many others can handle it. It's not like I go off trying to solo Marauder during a Lambda trial... I just like the thrill of taking on lots of enemies at a time. If I die or someone else dies, so what? It's not like they can never play their character again.

Maybe you find the game to be too easy because you have these kinds of regulations set in stone for yourself.

Why would you only test your limits when you're alone? To me, there's nothing like going off on your own during the last two missions of the ITF and eating an entire group of Cims all by yourself. That's just one of many examples...
So what, by your logic Vengeance should be removed from the game? Sloppy play is going to happen whether you scoff at it or not... But that's not the only reason for people to die, which is what I was trying to illustrate by bringing those two things up.
To me, I would call that a stupid way to play. I don't think there's anything brave about not utilizing the resources that are available to you to get the most out of your character, in that case SO's and nowadays IO's.
That's all well and good if it's what you enjoy, but personally I do not play with the same group of people all the time and I never have the illusion that everyone on my team has the exact same playing philosophy that I do. I play this game for fun, to get the most out of my time and my characters. There is no right or wrong way to do that, and for you to suggest that you are the "ultimate player," which is sort of how you're coming across right now, is just ignorant and self righteous.

You're right. Every time someone gets hit by Anti Matter's god mode gun, they screwed up. Same thing with Nova Fist and that blue stuff on the ground during Apex.

Dying isn't even that big of a deal in this game. Sometimes it can be fun to get in over your head and test your character's limitations. The only way to find out how much you can handle is to bite off more than you can chew.

After you start to play this way and find out your character can take the heat nine times out of ten, it becomes addicting. You'll constantly be testing your limits. A lot of the time it works out great for you and everyone involved. Other times one or two people die, and you utilize vengeance. Other times, you die too.

In my case on my Warshade, this is when I hit my self rez button that recharges about a thousand times faster than I know what to do with it before I go and get in over my head again.

There is no "right" or "wrong" way to play this game. It is all about personal preference. It seems like you have a very safe and conservative playing style based on your posts here, and that is fine, but it doesn't give you the right to expect everyone to play exactly like you do. The dev's gave us vengeance for a reason, and for myself and many others it is a glorious thing.

Wow, I really hate so many things that you say. Dwarf form while not ideal is not "useless because of light form." First of all, Dwarf can be activated any time and that alone makes it more versatile. Second, there is no endurance or HP penalty for using Dwarf.

I am leveling up my PB in a tri form build for the status protection and pinch survivability in Dwarf and the second attack chain from Nova as I won't be slotting IO bonuses (for recharge in this case) to get a fluent human attack chain for a few more levels.

It's not a matter of the forms, or any of the function of a Peacebringer being unusable, or even ineffective. The problem is that it is underperforming in almost every respect. That doesn't mean that all the forms and powers can't be used effectively if played right, it just means they need some tweaking.

I solo my Peacebringer on x3 +1 and one of my favorite openings before I go into a group is conserve power>summon my photon seekers, then switch to dwarf, teleport into a group, dwarf flare>buildup>solar flare before I start unloading my Nova Blasts. If you learn to use your knockback as mitigation you should have no trouble utilizing Nova blasts in relative safety.

Of course it isn't ideal for me- The Dark Nova is just as survivable as a Peacebringer in Light Form because of the fact that Eclipse carries over to forms. This is why I'm only using the forms on my PB until I have clarion status protection and a high recharge IO build to keep me in a human form attack chain (amongst other things.)

Like I said: Defense is much more important than a chance for a stun.
