I have a level 50 Elec/WP Stalker that I primarily throw sharks with in RV, but there are occasions that I would like to play this toon in PvE, ie. Barracuda SF, for one. Are there any decent, not necessarily expensive, builds I could poke away at in Mids to get a better understanding of slotting and power selection?

You should keep an eye on http://slickdeals.net/ as there are CPU/motherboard combos, graphics and memory deals all the time. I picked up the same processor in the OP paired with an MSI 785GM-E51 a couple weeks ago for right around $100 because Fry's had a combo deal going on. Sometimes you can find some deals on DDR3. Honestly, I'd go with DDR3 for a new build right now just because there is little to no price difference between 4GB of DDR2 vs. 4GB of DDR3
You can also get a decent graphics card (ATI 57xx series) for right around $150, which is a good enough card for the price.
Take a look around at some of the e-tailers like mWave, Newegg, etc. before going with a package like in the OP. -
I could contribute a stalker.

For as yet unknown reasons Aero likes to disable itself. Switch you desktop theme to another Windows stock theme and you should get your alt+tab function back. -
If you desire an extra person, I could play on my mind/elec dom

Newp. Same popup message. Can't install to a 64-bit system.
Try going through and removing any .NET installs that look like 32-bit. Hell, I'd just remove them all and try again. -
I could be convinced to dust something off for Justin Augustine.

Saying that you made a post which you do not even have a DP at all your stating my comments are true.
So looks like you fail on more then one level
I guess you do not like being trolled on your troll forum post

This looks interesting. If I can get a dual pistols blaster up to 25 by next Monday, I'll be there to go pewpew and run around faceplanting.

You probably wouldn't mind unless you turned into one of these.

Try logging in and setting up some bids on the market. I did that when I wanted some Golgis for my Stone Armor Tanker. Eventually someone will post them.

Quote:I don't understand... is there some sort of specific background that one needs to use, or just any Aero theme? When I play CoH in fullscreen, Windows decides to switch to the basic theme for me just because it can. Since upgrading my graphics card to a 5770, I've yet to find a way to be able to alt-tab while in a fullscreen game.Originally Posted by Bill Z Bubba
Yup on the Aero background and alt-tabbing. Works just fine now.
-And the master shall become the student. WOOT! -
I went to my local Fry's after work and picked up a Radeon HD 5770 for a cool $120. They're normally like $189 in the store or as low as $160 for the 1G version. I was looking at the 5850, but the price point sold me on this 5770 (marked as a return item, but was new in box, still had the protective film on the fan cover)

Despite the poor image Freedom has, we have a lot of really competent players. We're also dirty farmers and rare dupers, and our only interest is how to farm faster or dupe more rares.
My suggestion is to join a few of the global channels and pretend it's an AA meeting. -
Quote:Freedom wants to merge with you for your delicious heart... oh yes. Mmmmm...Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
You know, quite a lot of players have left playing on Freedom because they like the player community on other servers better.
I have a full server of characters over there that I rarely play because of the player behavior that I often run into over there.
So "no". We do not want to merge with Freedom. We are happy where we are not playing on Freedom when we don't want to. Thank you.
If I had characters on other servers that I wanted to move to Freedom I could have done so with the free server moves we were given. Other players had the same option, and it sure seems like some of them used them to leave Freedom.
If you like Freedom, please stay there, but don't try to force the rest of us to game with you if don't actively want to game on Freedom. -
When you return to the TV, the cartoon father is sitting on his couch, watching TV, drinking beer, and eating snack food with a radioactive mime on one side and a lawyer on the other.
'So you see,' he says with idiot's wisdom, 'Television truly helps to bring people together. Some people find that hard to believe, but that's why we can force nerds to write scientific papers that prove it. Now if only we could get more people to watch Television...'
Father, Mime, and Lawyer all start puzzling over the problem as the episode comes to an end.

I couldn't help but reply with that.

Now where did I leave that farm... -
I'm sure I'll come from out in left field with one of my links, since there really isn't any electronica in this thread.
I have a Broadsword/Shield Defense Scrapper that I play often and I'd have to say he has 2 theme songs. The latter samples various bits of 300, and includes part of the former, and it seems a befitting fight theme, at least to my ears:

I noticed this thread and wanted to provide my own build for my Broadsword/Shield Scrapper, since it's a different approach (no tough/weave). Please note that the Mids numbers are slightly off of the real in-game numbers, as all 3 positional defenses are at least 45%. I could probably do with a little bit of tweaking, but I'm happy with the way things are in-game. It might cost you a bit more than Laevateinn's build, but it's pretty solid when fully slotted out.

Guess im the only one who notices the teaming issues,or lack there of in Freedom...odds are,you guys that just posted are in a SG,and dont have teaming issues.
Side note...by odd quincidence.....i look alot like "The guy on the left."
There are no teaming issues on Freedom. I hop around to pretty much every zone, even hazard zones, and I see broadcasts everywhere except for maybe Shadow Shard zones, Eden and Crey's Folly. Believe me, it's out there. I say this as a person who is not in a supergroup with other people. I have two supergroups, but they're both mine and only have my characters.
If this were prior to Issue 16, I would agree that there is a teaming issue, but from general observation, I can safely say that the AE changes in Issue 16 has improved the QoL for PUG teaming. People are still farming, but they always will as long as the avenue is available. They will still farm AE in Atlas because it's there.
If you're having issues with just running by the building on the outside, you should have seen Atlas before the Great AE Nerf of 2009. Everybody in the zone lagged, and indeed the zone crashed frequently because there were so many people standing in the AE building power spamming. -

Yeah, no snow here either. Like, ever. I love Florida!
It was in the 40's this morning though... I actually had to forego shorts today in favor of jeans! The tragedy of it all!!! :O -
What's snow?
No, really... -
I'm unsure why, but I get the feeling this will be seen as a neon sign for any heroes looking for a free meal, especially during prime time in one of the only 2 PvP zones with any significant activity. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.
