No. Just give them to me.

Wow, I go out of town for the weekend and everything goes crazy!

Personally, I think giving a level 1-20 power for greater endurance recovery (like that Beginner's Luck power for accuracy in those levels) would have made a lot more sense. That way, we still have to make the adjustments we do now, but the first twenty levels aren't that bad (pretty much my only drawback in Praetoria). With this, seems like there are some shortcomings, but it's more of a bonus than anything else. Not sure what kind of adjustments they might make to the game to make it tougher or something in accordance to this.

At worst, it's a little like what Tri-Form Kheldians have always faced... a lot of powers and not enough slots. It's nice, for sure, though. I guess I can pick up Teleport Friend on more people and go for stealthing capability on more. Nice that we can still slot them as well. Just not keen on all the respecing this will require. Oy.

The upcoming issue stuff is interesting. Sounds like they want to test farther out, which is good. I'm also hoping that we get more than the alpha slot with I19, given its title. I am glad to hear that we get a story arc to introduce it as well... pretty much the only thing I didn't like about the implementation for GR was that there was no storyline reasoning for why we were getting these extra powers, and it just screams for it.

Hopefully we'll get the first few with I19 and enough to do something with them. All in all, I'm looking forward to the next year at CoX (even if there are some great new MMOs potentially coming out)!

Well, I wonder. When everyone gets Fitness, does that mean Fighting will fill the "you must have this or you are gimped" void?

In some aspects, I believe this to be true. Although it will certainly make end use a problem for lots of people, and lots of them will not seem to know why they have end problems, I'm sure. "I have stamina, why do I keep running out of end??? /stupid"

*edit* although my vote would be for stealth and recall friend, or just recall if the pools are still tight, and maybe a utility power like confront on scrappers or that random 'lol' power that nobody takes, like repel [usually] or whirlwind

I'll probably grab stealth and recall friend on whatever characters I can, as it usually comes in handy with so many missions and Task Forces. Can always drop a LOTG + recharge in Stealth, too... though that could get expensive if I tried it with too many characters.

For Linarra:
Replace Fitness pool with Assault/Tactics/Maneuvers.
Drop Power surge (never use it), pick up Ranged Shot.
Move one LOTG +Rech from Hover to Maneuvers.
Drop the Travel/End IO from Hover, move the slot to Ranged Shot.
Drop Invisibility, pick up Ice Sword.
Try to replace 2 5-part Decimation sets with 2 5-part Gladiator's Javelin sets (ya, this one is the *****.)

Move a few other slots around,
keeping my Rech to a moderate 103.75%,
picking up a good melee attack just for funsies,
increasing my damage by around 20% between sets and Assault,
giving myself a sweet snipe for those pesky runners, and Profit!

That's just for Linarra. I still have to work on the other alts.

Just curious Lin, why replace a 20 mill set with a 500 mill set when you lose recharge? The recharge bonuses from glad jav are only active in pvp.

If this is global recharge... wow. *coughs* You don't want to play my characters, as they all make do with less, even the few with Hasten. Going for more just gets too expensive for me, or makes me not pick up some other things I would like.

You know perma-hasten requires 112% global recharge? That's a pretty important number when tricking out some characters.

Some optimal builds require stupidly large amounts of recharge for certain attack chains. (DB/SR for example, requires somewhere around 315% total recharge in sweeping strike for its absolute best attack chain. That's assuming hasten: 70%, lightning reflexes: 20%, enhancement value 90-100%, and sets for the remaining 120%.

Recharge is srs bsns.

To MP: Mostly, it's a matter of a) as you well know, she's the character I play 80% of the time, b) the few times that I PVP, i want to pwn someone occasionally, and c) the KB protection and the toxic damage proc (yeah, I'll be saving up for THAT one...) And I don't really think I'll be getting that full set anytime soon, with the way prices are now (the Javelin Proc was around 700mil+ this morning, iirc, and the quad and triple were close behind...) And the spreads aren't profitable yet. Curses!!

To GP: When you play as seldom as I do, and have only a handful of characters you really play, you can trick them out a little. MP gave me quite a few marketeering tips, you too can be rich and famous! (Well, you're already infamous... so you can be rich... )

To Elegost: I find that having Hasten down for even as long as 5 seconds doesn't really ever cramp my style I'm not really looking for optimal attack chain (esp. running with MP's bunch of hooligans , they're always SB/AM/etc.-ing me. (Oh yeah, and thanks, hooligans!)

This is likely to often be me, in MP's bunch of hooligans. The funny thing is I really enjoy IOing out characters to their optimum performance, but my main Kin def (or any kin really) doesn't require hardly any IOs to be as awesome for teams as it is. I don't know what I'ma do with HIM after the fitness change.. probably pick up repel ... maybe assault? grant invis? shrug.
