uhh, you didn't unlock it actually. It's a bug that tells you that anyway because you hit level 20 and doesn't differentiate between praetorian and primal yet.

to get an arachnos soldier, just roll a villain and get them to 20.

guess I must be good to go!

will do! I've been collecting arc id's from the forumites lately, it'll go on my list

Best solution is to beat the tar out of them first. Of course having 2 on your back could be a problem for sure, especially with a gunslinger wailing on you at the same time. Just be lucky that sappers are never the boss in the crowd.

2 masterminds. that's always a good duo. then you can both keep each other alive by whatever buffs/debuffs you both take, and the pets can do the damage.

lol, someone had to do it, good job Gilia.

I took both, but that's just me. I love the quickness of the damage output, and even though swipe has minor damage, it's beefed up with fury.

As far as slash goes, as perviously asked, it's very takeable as well since it's the only attack that takes the achille's heel proc. very helpful.

happy B-day 2short!

I'm a mere 10 months away from 31 myself. My 8-year-old is in grade 3 now and acts like she's in gr.8, but my 1-year-old still loves me.

I find having the second kid is like deleting your save file and staring a new game, or in our case I guess a new toon, lol.

I wish it was just a cover of someone else's tune, those seem to die faster than originals.
Lesbianic innuendos are a pretty cheap way of making a buck. They work, that's proven, but cheap nonetheless.

I wonder if anyone upstairs is getting a little peeved that info is leaking out left and right. Then again maybe they're cool with that.

depends if you prefer ST or AoE damage for flavor.

whoa Mac, your avatars change fast, dude.

Hey MMs. My thugs are only level 12 right now and the defense on them is climbing every couple of levels, it's going really well. So far they've got the 2 standard bubbles from the low levels, maneuvers, and the maneuvers that Enforcer carries. I'm of course taking Dispersion Bubble and probably Force Bubble down the road, and probably taking the Blood Mandate set as well as the DEF and RES procs from the pet damage sets, oh and the DEF and RES procs from the recharge intensive pet sets for gang war too.

Would that be overdoing it? Or am I good and softcapped with all that?

Any other slotting suggestions would be great. Not sure if I should skip Repulsion Bomb or not, I never see anyone use it, or maybe just miss seeing it when they do...

Thanx! \m/

Welcome to the game BlueMyth!

Ice armor/melee would be awesome. Give it to Stalkers too!

And for the record, Icicles would help with fury.

That guide was copied straight from paragonwiki, wasn't it? I'm working on a thugs MM right now and the same descriptions are there, same clothing descriptions and everything. where's the strategic tips from personal experience? Tales of adventure and daring things your Bruiser lived through? Not even a warning that Arsonist is a suicidal nutjob? Did you even level one up to 50? All I read was the same as right here:

Monorail's was much better, he should post that as a guide.

Don't forget ice mastery and Mace mastery. Both have defense toggles if either fit your build.

Ever run into battle as a MM only to forget that it's not your corruptor, it's your MM? I looked like one brave-a** petless MM for about 3 seconds.
