Midlevel Crisis stuff

My fire/rad is now at level 28. Unfortunately 7 pm central is a little too early for me to get home from work and jump in. Maybe we can set something up this weekend.

As this is my first fire/rad troller I'd like to get some input as to what powers to take or to stay away from. I plan on initially stopping at level 33. Imps is a given, but what about choking cloud? And some slotting advice, with basic IO's for now would be great.

I wasn't able to join the Fire/Rad gala last night. Mondays are actually the
one night each week where I team with a friend of mine (the guy who conned
me into this game's beta way back when).

That said, I'm slowly chipping away with "Crimmie Crisper" solo when I get
the chance (along with my stalker on the VG side).

Currently, I'm around L8 or L9 on the toon. It's a pretty slow solo-er, so thank
goodness for Vet powers as those are about the only things that do real damage.
I've been spoiled with Stalkers, Blasters, and Khelds (which rock) at the
low levels comparatively.

That said, I'm looking forward to some teaming and tf's with the toon when
the chance arises...

Feel free to give me a shout if anything's going on other nights.


Cheers,

PS> The last time I ran a tf was back in I-4 days, so this should be amusing.

People should make use of the IO storage bins in the base. There are a lot of random IOs that have been tossed in there, so you never know if you might find something useful. I just did a respec on Tainted Candy when I upgraded to a few sets of level 26 IOs, and I salvaged what I was able to and tossed it into the bin -- a few Basilisk Gazes, some of the lesser heal and immobilize IOs. They're low teens in level, not worth much but they worked for me from my low teens up to level 23 so I'm sure someone else could find a use for them.

I dont know what you guys did, but Ive had several bids out for Zephyr -KB and LotG +Rech in the high 20s low 30s range for the better part of a month redside. One of each hit last night within 2 mins of each other.

Thanks

Finally made it to 33 a couple nights ago heroside (253 merits in tow; 1 Posi + mission arc bonuses). As my slot clog alleviates, I'm dumping stuff out there. Someone enjoyed the LotG I drew on my 5th roll, that's for sure (well, I'm going to pretend they enjoyed it).

Monday night the Fire/Rad superteam spent a while disintegrating Family and Snakes in AE.

One of my ticket rolls turned into a 7 million inf L14 -KB recipe. Mainly using the tickets on rolls and to keep myself in cheap enhancements.

Currently at L18 and need to slot for a bit more EndRed in Hot Feet and Enervating Field. Coming close to nice, juicy STAMINA!

Once I hit SOs, I'll probably crank to +0/x4, as better damage output and longer hold should mean I need to attack less to kill a given enemy and just let HF+EF carry them off.

Hey, one thing.

I know we're trying to generate stuff. But what are the rules on selling?

Does EVERYTHING have to go to market?
Not looking at keeping stuff for myself. But if I look and there's 10 of an item for sale with no movement in 2 or more weeks and then only at prices below crafting cost?

Common sense says "vendor the ******", but I just want to get a consensus on this.

I don't think we have any set rules, as far as I know. Vendor trash is always vendor trash regardless of level.

But if you have something decent that isn't selling, you might craft it and drop it in a bin for someone to use.

If red side does not pick up can we look at some cross team run's in Rwz please?

With what little time I've had because of work and the holiday season I've been spending my time trying to get to level 33 blue side. I've been using my son's account to PL a new red side character so I'll have a running start when I transfer him over. Hopefully after this weekend I'll have more villainous time.

Hyperstrike: My feeling is "if there are 10 for sale and the last 5 sales took three months, there's plenty of supply." I don't want to be The Lawgiver or anything here, but if you want suggestions I can make suggestions.

I'm guilty of not doing anything Redside. It's true.

Question: What sort of rules should we have on the SG bins? I'm pretty new to this. My first draft of The Rules is "Generics are free for all, but if you want a set IO, send a global tell to the person who put it in and ask." The Suggestion: we're a fairly loose-knit bunch, so if you get a Blessing of the Zeph -KB, you probably shouldn't tempt your SGmates by leaving it around no matter what The Rules say.

Another idea might be if you have something of value that might better server some one else and you have no problem parting with it you can post on the forums it is available.

Not sure if a fire/rad team can handle it early on but my mission arc 271212 is great for farming tickets.

Lol is it bad when you do not have the inf to post your lvl 20 zephir -kb or karma or steadfast ones?
All on a toon that has great built in knockback resistance.

When will villains get a base? Would be handy even if it was just a enchantment bin and a crafting table.

Not got any Heroside toons for this but since i´m leveling a hero i listed these crafted

[Bonesnap: Accuracy/Recharge.19]
[Reactive Armor: Resistance.18]
[Regenerative Tissue: Healing/Endurance.18]
[Serendipity: Defense/Recharge.18]
[Shield Breaker: Accuracy/Recharge.20]

Just did 4 merit rolls at level 20 on my Fire/Rad corruptor, and got the following:

You received Malaise's Illusions: Chance for Psionic Damage (Recipe).
You received Executioner's Contract: Disorient Bonus (Recipe).
You received Eradication: Acc/Dam/Rech/End (Recipe).
You received Salvo: Acc/Dam/End/Range (Recipe).

I was hoping for a Miracle but alas, nothing special. Hopefully, at least one of these will be worth listing.

listed level 15 redside

Debilitative Action: Acc/Immob/Rech (Recipe).
Razzle Dazzle: Acc/Stun/Rech (Recipe).
Pulverizing Fisticuffs: Acc/Dam/End/Rech (Recipe). (sold immediately)

To whomever has base editing rights, can someone add a Piller of Ice and Fire to the base (assuming that we have enough power/control to run it).

I want to try out using the Pillar with groups with lower level toons on it.

I haven't had much time to play lately, but I did pick up a few bronze rolls yesterday and scored a Karma -KB recipe.

My two cents on the disposition of drops: if it has 1+ for sale and 0 bids, I'm going to delete it. If it has 1+ bids and 0 for sale, I'm going to sell it. Take this karma recipe for example: 0 for sale, 28 bids. I'm going to list it for slightly more than the highest price in the last five, on the grounds that every other recipe must have been underpriced or else the supply wouldn't be 0.

Every other drop I've gotten so far I've deleted, I think. For the time being I'm locked at level 15, by the way.
