They are.

Now only if my brain would overlook that there are two different levels of italicization going on. Because I really, really shouldn't be bothered in the slightest by these things.

It would make sense to leverage this technology in other parts of the game, and signature arcs seem like a good opportunity.

I'm the opposite. I barely run TFs. While I have spent plenty of time redside, I prefer blueside. I dislike almost all of redside's zones.

Especially those godforsaken forts.

I did this - lost 55 pounds, and have kept most of it off (after five years).

This however was not as successful.

I'm not going to say I prefer it, but this is how I kinda look at it.

Most holds are Mag 3, and can instantly hold minions and lieutenants. One application w/o a fortuitous overpower will not hold a boss.

An intangible power WILL hold bosses, on one application. So it's like a superhold. But we can't have a superhold which is just increased mag over a regular hold, because it would overshadow the regular hold. So there's a tradeoff -- for the certainty (outside of tohit checks) of locking down a boss, you trade the ability to hurt the foe.

I think that's actually pretty reasonable. No, it's not really the most useful thing under most circumstances, including most of team play. I personally find it really handy when my Elec/Sonic encounters two bosses at once. Does that happen often? No, not really. But when it does I'm glad it's available and works as it does.

Yeah, I think I've seen this problem in cases where I'm around loads of mobs - I try to target but I end up clicking on a mob or toon. Rikti invasions, for instance. I figured I was just having a hard time finding an open patch of land.

Though thinking about it...I'd sometimes have the problem with trying to target close too - caltrops, RoF right on top of me, Shield Charge.

Ah, thanks. I have to admit to not playing a stalker past level 8 or so. I will eventually just to get one to 50, but I've not yet really felt the need to with Scrappers/Brutes available (sorry, devs and stalker fans).

Maybe give Placate a reasonably strong, but short (well, shorter than the recharge), AoE/PBAoE -ToHit effect? Placate one foe, throw the others off enough that they also stand a lesser chance of hitting both you AND the team.

edit: or give it with AS...hard to hit things when your reaction is "whoa, WHAT THE!?!"

I really wish they'd push a fix of that Warehouse map. It makes that portion of the trial quite unenjoyable for me (in addition to regular missions using those same gargantuan rooms).

Wait, what? Nobody does?

Right now I am leveling a 42 Elec/Sonic controller. He has never teamed.

I have a level 50 widow who never teamed.

I have a level 50 Plant/Thorn dominator who never teamed.

I have a level 50 Merc/Poison MM who teamed, but it was to aid a higher-level AE baby with NO ENHANCEMENTS beat Silver Mantis. Which I did while he was in the hospital.

I have a level 50 Energy/Kin corr that teamed once somewhere in the 20s, when she didn't even have speed boost (and got funny looks for it). The next time she teamed was for the BAF trial. Why? Because to unlock anything beyond Alpha, she had no reasonable option.

Argue whatever else you like, but don't argue that every player or toon teams. Because they don't.

This reminds me. My Emp - magic user with powers dating back through Medieval times - would have worked quite nicely with some Cabal pets. Someday, perhaps.

Yep, love Synaptic Overload - which I consider both a control and a damage power. For run-of-the-mill mobs, I'll open with it, spam Chain Fences and rotate Electric Fence, holding off on Tesla Cage until there's only one mob standing (or leave two immobilized and one held).
