I've been feeling like a Thugs MM!

So I made a DP/Dark corr and since I usually spend like 45 minutes in the toon creator I came up with a very busy and elaborate costume for my Vampire Cowgirl (can you believe the name was available on Virtue? lol).

So I went to the sewer trials because, ya know, sweet temp powers and after getting all four you're like level 14 already.

I haven't bought the Stj powerset because I usually play squishies and I haven't even leveled my DB/Elec and SD/MA toons past 35 yet. And my Beamer is like level 20.

But I digress. I formed a DFB trial and 7 other people joined, so we entered.

Then my teammates were like...
1) Guy with leather jacket and jeans
2) Shirtless guy with tattoos
3) Guy with cap and T-shirt
4) Guy with punk hair and dark glasses
5) The others were variations of the above, all with the 'thug' look

Of course they were all Stj/WP or Stj/SR (with the odd Stj/Regen).
And after the 4 trials, the Posi I ran were in the same way (there was some glowing techie fire blaster ruining my team in the Posi tho )

It was awesome! Since Stj's animations are so subtle for those who aren't close to them, and the sounds are also kinda subtle (I saw some posts here saying Stj should have more 'cracking' sounds, like say, DM's Smite which really sounds like a big punch), I felt like a Thugs MM, I was debuffing, healing and attacking with my flashy dual pistols while the other guys punched the mobs! And since I hate playing MMs, it was cool that I didn't need to boss them around! The fact they all looked like the Thug pets from the MM set, besides having secondaries with minimal FX made it even better since they were all normal height in bland clothes!

(I told ya this was an useless post - but seriously, even teaming with all those Stj toons I still can't seem to distinguish their attacks like I always did with other sets like MA, SS, etc, I can't try the set because Test Server store is down so I cannot make a 'fake purchase')
