Not before we get a ninja and pirates zone!

Huh, I thought it was hard coded so that they wouldn't drop unless your CHARACTER was level 50... I've learned something new today.

I personally pick the Electric pool for every Defender that I get to 50... but I'm biased. I believe that Power Sink is one of the best powers in the game. Keep in mind as well that Dark Consumption has a "ToHit" check... it has to hit the enemies... and Power Sink auto-hits. Also, the electric shield provides resistance against the THREE most used damage types in the game, smashing/lethal and electric. The electric fence is AWESOME with how fast it recharges... Thunderstrike was "meh" for me, I always respecced out of it and into the fence again. I'm not that familiar with the new hold that was added... I never picked it up.

That beind said, my second favorite set is the Psy set... the extra controls are great, and having some resistance to Psychic damage for Defenders is rare and wonderful.

Here's all the stats for the APPs so you can make an informed choice outside of the game.


One final note.... Repulsion Field is ALSO auto-hit... that's one of the reasons why I love it so much. It never misses and only enemies with resistance to knockback aren't affected, and they are relatively rare.

I've only gotten 2 ever. Then again, I spend almost no time at level 50... keep playing at the lower levels when I do play... so yeah.

When you use your nuke, you have ZERO endurance left. Dark Consumption, like any power in the game, costs endurance. So unless you're willing to pop a blue after every nuke in order to use Dark Consumption, you won't be able to do anything.

I only use travel powers BETWEEN geysers, getting from geyser to geyser, and I've never had a problem.

There is no "right" or "wrong" in how to build and play a character... it's all about what is comfortable and more FUN for you!

I believe that every Defender should take Assault. At least until the devs look at Defenders in general once again or until we get access to heroic Corrupters.

Okay, you are officially awesome LiquidX. That's the funniest thing I've read in a month.

Okay, listen and listen closely. I'm quite a vet of the Shadow Shard. If you turn off ALL powers and step into the geyser from the "trail" leading into it at the front as a previous poster mentioned.... and then don't touch ANYTHING... don't touch your keyboard at ALL.... the geyser will land you where you are "supposed" to land.

I've done this countless times. The geysers are simply the fastest way to get around the Shadow Shard, once you learn where they are and where they go. Use Vidiotmaps, it's awesome. And the Reveal power if you have it by now.

But yes, having the Jump Pack is handy if you mess up and press something when you're geysering.

Did you know it's now legal again to import haggis from Scotland to America? I just found out the other day. I know what I'm having for Valentine's Day!

AWESOME good to know that you guys are on the ball.

Nope, he's not a current dev of this game.
