    Your statement implies the assumption that those who do not utilize a complex lexicon in dialogue about a video game are simply unable to do so due to a lack in either education or mental capacity; whereas, I would beg to differ.

    Such an assumption is both condescending and overweening. Intelligence and knowledge do not yield wisdom and good courtesy particularly in a forum populated by players from a diverse range of educational levels, fields of study, ages, and locations. Anyone who has even a modicum of skill in writing will know that the best written communication is aphoristic, concise, lucid, and, most importantly, accessible.

    Rather, Tam is implying that it is the sense of imposed egotism implied by those users of "big words" that is offensive NOT the size or complexity of the collocation itself.

    The patronizing nature of complex lexical use to propigate often superfluous and or asinine agendas has long been not only the source of vexatious disquiet amongst the denizens of CoH but also a means of propitiating a hegemony that engenders division between those who discourse with an overbearing sense of entitlement and those who simply do not give a damn.

    AE baby

    they disappeared for a while, but I've noticed a small resurgence of these kinds of players on my server as well.

    A few months ago I was in ouro and a lvl49 tank came up to me and asked me how to get out. He had been trapped there for like 10 min. Apparently he saw a shiny on the Atlas AE floor and tried to take it home >.>

    sounds like a challenge to me. Would be interesting to see if you could do the cheapest possible build n post a video farming his mish with it.

    I thought about getting rid of stealth, as per many suggestions, in favor of hover, but I want the added defense without hindering my ability to speed around. Stealth is the best option for that, imho.

    Any comments? Further suggestions?

    Wow! Thanks so much balanced. That was extremely helpful.

    off to do more tweaking

    I've found this to be true.

    I created my first dark/dark when I teamed with a few vets and fender forum lurker Rhynwa on an itf with her awesome dark/dark. We were all sitting there with a million romey fluffies shooting a million lazors at us with not a single hit: all thanks to Rhynwa's dark/dark. <3 Rhynwa!

    My dark/dark is at lvl39 atm, and I've teamed with at least 4 times MORE dark fenders than emps on PUGs from lvl1-39. In fact, I think 50% of the time I've teamed with the dark/dark, there was at least one other dark on the team with me. Really, it comes down to the quality of the players you're running with.

    Emp/Archer build

    First of all, thanks a bunch for the imput. Any advice is happily taken into consideration.

    As for playstyle, I like to run this girl almost exclusively for tfs (which I run mostly speed).

    TP and rez are important for me personally because I often end up being a shuttle service for people who are new to speed tfs and, er...have "trouble" keeping up (i.e., die a lot). I don't mind doing this at all. In fact, I find that it often helps the team more to have the whole crew alive and togther for those important battles. Someone did it for me when I was green, I'm happy to pay it forward.
    I also like to scout mishes and tp people over for final boss/room. I don't have the assmble team power yet (only been on COH for less than a year).

    I know that you get decent stealthiness with SS and Celerity, but I've found that it will occasionally aggro hordes at close range more often than stealth +celerity+ss. Plus I like the added defense and global recharge I can slot into stealth.

    For the defense arguement, I do like to occasionally jump into the action to quickly rez or buff with an aura an ailing tank or teammate, that is, when the single target buffs aren't up yet. I slotted for survivability for those few seconds of melee I have to sustain during the buffage. Then I jump out.

    As for ranged dmg, I haven't had too much of a problem with it. The stealthiness actually helps a bit in that it limits the number of ranged baddies who are aggroed towards me (with the exception of drones, of course). I've found that I've had more problem dying from the melee dmg taken during the driveby tank rezzes than any ranged attacks have done.

    I really like having the fly power, but after playing both I prefer SS + temp fly power > fly
    for the stealth and speed. It's a small margin tho, fly is a rather nice power to have for an emp.

    Thanks for the hasten slotting suggestion, I'll def do that.
