I'm planning on leveling my next 50 on top of the Atlas admin building. Almost had it with NOTW, was about 2,000 away when I killed a lvl 51 for 2,300 xp. The 50's were giving 1,600 so I thought I was safe.

I am a witness to this. However, I only ooo'ed; I did not ahh.

Pardon my ignorance, but it seems like the only way *not* to have Stamina is for just about every one of your powers to be slotted with an Invention set with a recovery bonus. But prior to I8, how would you manage?

Not true at all. Defenders, specifically empaths do very well without stamina. Kins can do well without stamina too, though I personally wouldn't build one like that. The whole having to target to get some endurance and omg if it misses you are screwed thing doesn't turn me on.

I have seen some regen scrapper builds do well without stamina, and also an elec/elec blaster do well.

My problem with the "I don't need stamina" crap is that players without stamina cannot consisitantly fight, and keep fighting. At some point they will ALWAYS run out of end (exception possibly being only a regen scrapper or an defender Pure emp). While they run out of end they are constantly stopping to rest, or only half fighting trying to reserve their stamina or begging the team for blues. Personally I don't particularly like playing with people like that because they could just take stamina so they could keep up with the team rather than take some ******** other powers they don't have the endurance to maintain anyways.

I have noticed that the majority of players that do not take stamina are not aggressive players and are always hanging back ladedada as if their are not baddies to kill. :-)

That is too funny. LES used to have a member who refused to use push to talk and would do crap like that. The rest of us would be fighting the urge to vomit while trying to politely hint that they should use push to talk.

This reminds me of a day once upon a time where I found myself on a team with 7 Stormies. Just as I am debating what to fill the last spot with, we all see a Tank on Broadcast LFT.

...I'm sure you can guess the rest of this story.

i got into another "discussion" yesterday with a lvl 50, no vet badges, asking the team what IO and SO meant..

me: so, um, what do you have in all the slots in your power's?
them: you mean the open round bubble areas under the power itself?
me: yes
them: what am i to put there? I thought that represented the strength of that particular power the more open bubble areas the better.




sigh.

I've an emp/arch def and she gets along just fine without stamina, especially since she has the endurance RA. The trick is getting enough recharge into it to make it perm. I've got it at about a 20 or 30 second gap.

So the question is did you take the time to explain it to them?

We need to understand the draw to new players to Powerlevel. It is sexy to level every 2 seconds. The only reason to get frustrated or mad at them is if you take the time to explain to them and they respond with a ******** attitude like most of them do.

Well.. as best as i could.. I added him global and told him if i didnt know the answer i could certainly point him to the right person/place. I also suggested paragon wiki. It was refreshing that he didnt act like a punk about it. In the few months since AE its been MY experience that most people, when you try and suggest something, give you a ton of grief back, so ive kinda been keeping my p's & q's to myself..

Well, yeah, with builds that have a stamina recovery power in them, you don't need the Stamina pool power as much. This isn't exactly a good argument for Stamina being optional.

If you're running several toggles at once, or doing more than just casting buffs in support, you're gonna run out of end if you're on teams and fighting big mobs. There's no great reason not to take Stamina, especially since taking Swift/Hurdle and Health isn't exactly a hardship, unless you have three other powers that really benefit you more.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Squishy tankers....it's fine if you cant handle 8-man boss mobs or even lt mobs....but when a scrapper is taking aggro better than the tank? thats my biggest pet peeve
