I don't think a-merit conversion is a statistically significant inf sink.

Okay, how about a new tier of Much More Expensive supergroup base stuff, with higher prestige maintenance costs. Much higher. Like, 100k+ a month instead of 5k. And much more expensive to buy. Encourage people to use the inf->prestige sink more.

And maybe make some costume pieces unlockable with inf, or something. Or have a "Big Spender" badge which costs 1 billion inf.

If you put it in one of the Dual Pistols powers that has knockback only when using lethal rounds, does it proc even when you're not using lethal rounds?

Man, that is not good journalistic integrity. You make an edit, you're supposed to say what you edited and why. Coward.

Do you have a proc in Deceive, perhaps? A proc that imposes a chance-for-something can create aggro.

All your other categories will already include base defense. Which adds to everything.

Only time I've seen it is that I have a MM with one of the 5% pet defense IOs, and the combat attributes for the pets show 5% base defense.

I'd guess that AR and the bots mastermind weapon could use similar animations, and many of the animations they'd need are already out there for something in the game, I think.

I was at some point told that in fact redraw has stopped causing a substantial change in attack times, but it'd still look a lot nicer to have Trick Shot produce the same results using whichever weapon you wanted to pair it with.

Haven't tried it on a brute, but my DA/DM tanker has a blast, and is adequately-indestructible. Meaning on the very rare occasions when things manage to take me down, I just get up and whack 'em more.

What Time Bomb can do that Trip Mine can't:
1. Much larger radius. (20' is a LOT more space than 12'.)
2. You can be untargetable when it goes off, by walking around a corner.

That means that Time Bomb can let you ensure that an entire spawn has to slog through a minefield to get to you before they can make even one attack. That last bit is sometimes significant.

Yeah. Prior to that fix, it would last 120 seconds after you turned off a toggle. Either way, it's 120 seconds after a click power (like the Traps power Force Field Generator; Kismet is 2 minutes from activation, not while the generator is out).

Hmm. Well, really, Batman should be martial arts/devices.

Unfortunately, that's not an option.

I'd actually probably run him as a /nin stalker. Not sure which primary. MA, if they have it? I can't remember.

Robin is, of course, a Hostages/Self-Reference MM.

Go to the search box, hit up/down arrow a few times, it'll bop around to nearby things, including (usually) the crafted enhancement or recipe. Not always next one up or down, especially with procs.

Well, at least it's a good IO.

I listed a level 30 common resist damage IO for I think 501k or something, I got 5M.

1. You can buy so many pillar lights that you will never, ever, be in darkness.
2. Hit up one of the marketeers for bonus prestige money so you can go to the next tier.

So, I'm trying to figure out what's up with prices. In particular, a while back during the Great Respecathon, I got a couple of Basilisk's Gaze quads (L30) for about 70M (recipe). Now they're 120-150, and I've seen as high as 200. Should I just be waiting that out, or did I just get super lucky back when I got them for 70?

The other thing that stands out is that on a lot of purples, if I bid middle of the last 5, it's been a week and they're consistently above that range. Is that normal, abnormal? I'm sort of guessing that purple prices were briefly depressed by the rush of people doing the incarnate content for the first time, so I should probably just accept that I'm gonna have to raise those bids.

Thoughts? Advice?

Both of my kheldians are new, merged, personalities. I don't play 'em much, but neither of them is either the original person or the original person plus a sidekick.

But I still don't see a problem with ignoring the flavor text if the Kheldian game mechanics are the best fit for your character. It doesn't seem like it'd come up often (say, the whole forms thing, which is awfully specific), but if it does, great, run with it.

To create a character, I come up with a concept, then look to see which game mechanics best model that concept, then I make the character accordingly. If that turns out to mean that the best implementation of a character who isn't really a Kheldian at all uses the Kheld rules, or that the best implementation of a character who isn't really Arachnos at all uses the Widow rules, then fine, that's what I'll use.

Huh. See, until I read that post, it had never occurred to me that there would be people who minded such content. Weird. I bet we like virtually none of the same books.

Anyway, I would agree that this would be a compelling argument. Also, Adeon's point about trying not to give that much concept definition to power sets makes sense; "powered armor" is a very concept-limiting thing, "invulnerability" is not.
