What is it with WP?

For scrappers and especially for brutes, it is absolutely godly. A brute with two +recovery powers is a juggernaut.

For tankers, it's quite solid in terms of keeping you alive, but as several will note you may have problems because the taunt aura does not last very long. Knockback can cause issues. I've written a guide with suggestions as to how to work around this.

Oh, I see. You mean no self heal in the Secondary, so use one from the Primary. (I can dig it, I have a DM/Stone Brute I use to represent a shape changer with regeneration)

Still, at first I thought you misunderstood. It is STALKERS that get Reconstruction, not Scrappers.

And they get it in place of Rise to the Challenge.

This is not to say you may not prefer Reconstruction because it makes you more active. However, it's really just trading one "heal" for another, so I'm sure it's no stronger.

Will Power looks like crap. It is too subtle. I want characters who have Energy, Fire, Ice, or some badass powerful prominent glow to them that makes them look formidable. Will Power has none of this. It is boring and quite frustrating because I would have made a WP long ago if the effects when you first activate the toggles remained on the character or the effects were similar to Invul. I wish the devs would have put more work into its appearance.

So WP is powerful, but all characters I see playing it look like crap when compared to my characters. There is no point playing a character that looks like crap.

It's not that they "didn't put work into its appearance," the minimal graphics is intentional because it's a "natural" set that uses the character's willpower and not supernatural powers. In fact it was also because all other sets have that huge visual appearance that they wanted something to give natural characters who didn't want to glow like the sun.

Two of my WP toons even run with with NoFX these days.

Well then they should not have had the so called natural set be so effective and unique unless they made a prominent set with the same powers. Then maybe it wouldnt be annoying. :/

You may destroy well on a Will Power, but you won't look good doing it.

Pfft, are you saying my characters don't look good? Cause I'd rather see them than a bright white/red/orange/purple/green glow.

Seriously, if I could you wouldnt see my character at all with his toggles on. The Aura would be so ridiculously huge, like a 1000 foot radius, where all you see me as is a distant shape in the center.

Now that is a character. Not some subtle chump like a WP.


S***ton of energy = cool
F***ton of energy = very cool

BWA HA HAHAHA.

... oh, were you serious?

A lot of the protection of Dark Armor is in Opp Gloom.
A lot of the protection of Dark Armor is in the resists.
A lot of the protection of Dark Armor is in the heal.
... yeah, I layered on Weave and a Steadfast Res/Def and Cloak of Darkness and a few IO's, so I've got some mild Defense as well, but you can practically do that with ANY character so I don't really count that as part of Dark Armor.

If you want to REALLY see Dark Armor look good, play Kat/Dark for the additional lethal/melee def. No, I meant play a Dark/En tanker for the stacked boss-stunning. No, I meant a Spine/Dark for the slows and auras. Remember, when you look at your endurance bar: Black goes with everything.

Have you tried this or this?

My WP/BA tank, has Capped HP. It's pretty nice. I have extra Regen too, not as much as some, but it's above and beyound what a WP NORMALLY has. One mob in range and i've got basic regeneration values slightly better then a regen scrapper (not using IH of course).

Between that, 70% S/L resistince, and 35% defence to nrg/elements (around about.) I can survive pretty much anything. Only time i ever really need to plan ahead is tanking LR for an STF. But afew purples and oranges hold me up long enought for the towers to drop.

Only real issue this guys has is argo control more then anything. RttC is a joke. Thank god for all my AoE's, but even with them, and taunt, keeping a whole spawns attation can be hard. AV's and small mobs, NP. But big groups? I lose alot. But, well, so long as i keep the BIG BADS at bay, the team normally does ok. lol

I am very glad you can't. Remind me to never give you a paintbrush.

Hmmm...my Spines/WP Scrapper seems to always have a purple glow. My namesake/main always seems to have a pink glow, and my SS/WP Brute has the no FX option.

Is the glow as much as INV or FIRE ARMOR? No. But I see it all the time, when the toggles are on.

And it was meant to be low graphics. That's what people were wanting. A low graphic set.

Personally, the glow never bothered me, even on natural concept toons, as I thought of the glow more as "just showing the toggles are activated" rather than "my hero is ACTUALLY glowing"...but some people can't get past that, and needed a no FX option.

I'm glad we got it the no FX option, don't get me wrong. Now I just decide...yes, the glow is part of the character or no it isnt.

The one reason I dont like attacks is because if you meat an opponent with a power that does mass -tohit your practically screwed! in my prospective



Hmm... sounds just as silly in a different context. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Your opponents are too meaty. Until you meet a less meaty opponent your prospective perspective may be screwed, skewed and tattooed. And that's just to start.

Isn't there a comic strip that does this to words? I think it's called Frank and Ernest. Malaprop Man!

Oh no. Another alt.

You can't laugh at yourself? Seriously, that was funny. You should laugh instead of complain that someone made a joke at what you wrote.

Heh, there was more than one error in your post, and the content was ridiculous besides. Be glad that you only got the ribbing you did!

If you'd prefer, I can insult you instead. I'd prefer not to, but I'm willing to oblige.

Like Strato said, laugh at yourself. If you can't, there's bound to be plenty others who will. Everybody makes typos. It comes with the territory. Whether you get all uppity about it or join in the silliness is up to you.

It's more than one typo. What made it funny is the double entendre you managed to get. Here's your statement again:

I'm not sure I'm allowed to explain this any further.

As for errors, besides the funny part, you had a couple others:

It's perspective, not prospective.
It's you're, not your.

But those two weren't why we posted.

You'll be happy to know that I hate SR, too!

About the only melee characters I enjoy are the ones that have a lot of offensive mitigation, whether through mezzes, knockdown, PBAoE debuffs, or whatever. Flat-out offense, like damage auras and Shield Charge, are a close second. Active powers that are purely mitigation, like click heals and panic buttons, comes rather lower in third. Then, waaaaay below everything else at the bottom of the barrel are all of the Toggle Power Name: Self +Harder To Kill powers.

Thanks to this, I actually can enjoy characters with armor sets I find boring, if they have a lot of mitigation in their primary and need it to survive (see: my Stone/EA Brute.) I'd just as soon grab a secondary with damage auras, debuffs, control, and mezzes, though.
