"One build to rule them all."

I don't normally agree with much of what Reppu says, but he has been pretty much spot on in this thread.

Not much point adding anything constructive though, because it will surely be dismissed.

As someone who recently took a fire/mm blaster to level 50+2, I looked over your build with a little interest.

I have a few questions.

Why go Agility? I would have thought Cardiac Core would have served you better, at least going by the 1%def =2%res theory.

Ok, you say you solo'd a GM - how long did this take you? Were there any defeats? If so, how many? I have solo'd gms with the help of temp powers - and the rewards for doing so are not worth the time investment, in my opinion.


Did I read it correctly - no inspirations?

And on mids', I'm reading that you have degenerative interface - and then later, I see you mention that you use cognitive.

This puzzles me, as I thought you said one build. Swapping out interfaces and destinies seems to me to be using different builds.


These activities that you say you have done - it's not that I doubt the accomplishments, I question the reason why.
Just to see if you could?

I'm very curious to know your tactic in out damaging Romulus while the nictus is healing him. Also curious to know how long this effort took. On my server, we've completed the whole itf in under 12 minutes - which makes it a far more worthwhile effort, from a reward standpoint. So, I'd suggest that if it takes you longer than 20 to 30 minutes (one must recruit to form a team, I would think) than you are pretty much wasting your time.

More to the point - the better builds are more easily gotten (aside from using the paragon market) from merits - how many reward merits can you toon earn you in an hour?

Well, thanks for your responses - I reread my post, and it comes off as far more...what's the word...snarky, I guess, than I meant.

And I did know you could swap out - but I thought the whole point was one build.

And, in my mind, swapping interface does change the effectiveness of a toon. Semantics, of course.

I applaud your spirit, though. Taking on challenges that most wouldn't, and coming through just fine. For me, I've found the hero merits for converters to be better value than astrals -but I guess with the cool down timer, astrals could be better. Too many lowbie 50s myself that can use the astrals, though. Different strokes, and all that.

You online THB? Lets get this rolling pst me in game Dont plan to be on for too long so hopefully you see this before I log..

I think it works 1 of two ways. You can 'call someone out' and they can decline as they cannot back up their smack talk, or they simply decline as they have better things to do.
Whilst I agree with Reppu on a majority of things, there were a few too many personal insults in there.
I genuinely must of missed it, At what point did Reppu lie, Plainguy?

Huh. I leave this thread for a day to laugh it off, come back to see people are still saying they 'caught me' and blah blah? Guess they ignored the Scrapper Screenshot.

I actually have a screenshot of the Dominator's build right now, but really, I think this is funnier. Why correct it at this point? I find it more amusing for people to keep saying "Zomg Reppu has NO CHARACTERS. Although ignore the Scrapper by the way the Scrapper means nothing".

... Scrapper farms decently well too but not the point.

Nah. Let's keep this one going for as long as it can get. I'll eventually get bored and post the Dominator screenshot. Or, you know, log it on and dance somewhere.

Additionally, even if I went ahead and corrected the screenshot, and by this point it's infinitely more amusing not to, I still won't race Screwdriver. He knows the farm better, and he farms for a 'living'. I do it when I've got nothing better to do, and have run the Atta Map maybe... once? And I couldn't stomach how repetitive it was.

He can have the title of 'I farm better'. God knows it's nothing to brag about.

PS: They both realize the 9+ Pages were me posting about a theoretical Dominator I never claimed to own, correct? I think I have to keep mentioning this. I never once brought up the viability of my own Plant/Dark/Ice. I've retired her and usually only bring her out when I want to see Carrion Creepers explode an enemy group. I juke characters PROBABLY once a month. It sustains me. And the Paragon Market at this point, yeesh!

Again, you can't 'catch me in a lie', when I never said I claimed what I was theorizing in the first place. And yes, that means I broke Screwdriver's 'rules', but I have no reason to follow his rules over the forum rules. Kindly avoid telling people they can't post in a section, Screwdriver, if they don't do what YOU say. You are trying to pass yourself off as a moderator, and that's a bannable offense.

PSS: It's here where I'd like to mention one last thing, since I'll probably check in on this thread maybe once a day to get a chuckle out there. Everytime I log into my account, hit up my character selection, and see my Dominator, I do two things. One: I laugh everytime her existence is disputed. Two: I throw her back into the abyss and work on Other Stuff. But, none of this is actually important, and I shall tell you why;

Screwdriver may be the better farmer, but in the end? I'm the one who is sitting back and smiling to myself. Why? Not because he is getting some sort of happiness out of spiting my own Dominator, for one reason or another. No no, that would be crude.

My happiness comes from the fact that, no matter what, I have never actually attacked the viability of his character, only the title he claims it has won. And yet, despite this stance to be at least marginally kind to the Hindenburg that this thread has fireball'd into, it amuses me that common human grace is absent in his responses to me. And that lack of grace is why I will refuse to reveal my Dominator, in all her glory, to him.

Not because I'm afraid of her build, far from it. I get PMs asking for builds, on the forums or in game, more often than I have been able to keep up lately (Which I also do not charge for, much like my 'powerleveling'.) No, no no. I'm simply waiting for Screwdriver to have a bit of tact, a bit of grace. A tiny bit of restraint, so this fireball may crash and burn, until we get on with our lives.

So long as you continue to Charisma Break, Screwdriver, and plainguy continues to totally flip his lid even after I've been more than willing to disprove him (And have, with out needing him to bother logging onto Virtue. Maybe I'll post my Stalker next? Staff Fighting sucks but she makes it work, baby!), you two are infinitely more amusing to keep on a rampage, than to actually educate and serve.

Because to do the latter would be a service, one neither of you have earned, or unlocked through the Reppu Market.

I believe the TL;DR is "Grow up"? I'll be back in twenty four hours or so, to see if you've stopped flailing your arms and acting like a goof. I might reward you, then. You keep reaching out for God, after all~!

I do not feel I have to prove anything, and am more than happy living in my self-satisfaction of making two individuals Charisma Break, repeatedly. At the end of the day, whine and flail as much as you want. I've already won my personal battle, and am just reaping spillover gains of the catalyst.

Never gonna give you up~
