"One build to rule them all."
Hmm. My Blaster's defense, Smashing, Lethal and Energy resistance is the same as on my Brute! I'm sorry you feel that being a small purple inspiration away from the softcap to all three positions paired with good resistance to the three most common damage types is "average at best!"

I'm sorry your lack of experience with other characters has led you to believe your armor stats are at all unusual or exceptional.
I regret that such drastic action had to be taken, but as Oedipus_Tex continued to violate the rules of the thread after his first warning, I have been forced to privately contact him and inform him that his TwoHeadedBoy Market account has been banned for one week. Let this be an example for anyone else who plans to violate the rules of the thread.

Well then allow me to continue.
You lack mezz protection outside of an incarnate ability. Moreover, to get said mezz protection, you have to skip either Barrier or Rebirth, which puts your survivability further behind builds that can take them. You may have +Regen, but that has very little to do with "taking an alpha" as you claim. The number of high end builds with purple slotting who can't "take an alpha" after eating a purple is probably smaller than those that can, especially if we are vague what enemy group we are talking about. Needless to say, that huge survivability bonus you think are getting from Drain Psyche is much less clear cut when you realize that not only do characters with Barrier or Rebirth make up for some of it, but are better able to protect teammates and pets with a buff that actually matters, which in the end could circumstantially topple your DPS. Your Lore pets, if nothing else, are fighting enemies without heals or buffs to protect them. You discounted th ability to protect teammates in order to elevate your build, but guess what, other builds can do that thanks to the incarnate abilities you had to skip.
I shouldn't need to mention, but will, that your AoE "controls" have radii of 15ft (PBAoE), 12ft (PBAoE) and 10ft. Psychic Shockwave has a 25% chance of Mag 2 stun, 6 second duration, so calling it a "control" is a pretty big reach, unless stunning 1 in 4 minions within 15ft for 6 seconds with minimal chance of overlap can be called competitive.
The build is overall pretty good and I have no doubt it performs well and dishes out serious damage, but you really need to dial back some of your claims, because this what you are really claiming is not that this character can actually do all of these things, but that the damage is generally high enough that some of them matter less. That's a different kind of statement altogether.
Don't they have laws against guising a business as a charitable organization?
-Farm as fast or faster than any other high end farming build. Power-level farming included, 1-50 in around the 2 hour mark. |
It seems I am not the one who is deluded, do me a 2 hour 1-50 name your price. 'around two hours' or my inf back. Up for it ? Feel free to add @Cagney. and we can arrange.
If you'd like, I can provide character witnesses ahead of time. My Legion of Doom will be in touch with you.

Granted, I don't go seeking farms much, but it's definitely fast. And it's the first time I've seen World of Confusion actually be useful.
Well its 4.5 caves to 50, lets call it 2b, 2 hours or money back?
Count me in.

You don't go into a store and purchase a computer, saying to the clerk, "If this computer doesn't perform perfectly at all times, exactly up to the highest standard, I am not only entitled to keep the computer. I am also entitled to receive a full refund."
It saddens me that some would let your cruel intentions and lust for villainy go unpunished.
Because I am a reasonable and kind person though, in honor of this happy and encouraging thread I have started for all to enjoy, I will make you a reasonable counter-offer. I will power-level you from 1-50 for two billion influence. If this process takes over two and a half hours, I will give you a generous 500 million infamy refund and you will still be able to keep the finished product of the minion I level for you.
This will take place on Freedom server around my leisure. I will give you 24 hours previous notice. If you do not arrive punctually, you will forfeit this great opportunity. The Rangers are playing tomorrow night, so that won't be any good. I'll contact you privately with specifics as soon as I have them and you agree to the more than generous terms.

If you hire a babysitter, and that babysitter not only shows up late, but does not mind the kids properly, invites unsolicited people over, endangering the children but also causes some sort of collateral damage in the process, that babysitter should not be expected to be paid.
Also, if that babysitter request I pay them regardless of the outcome of the duration of their services and request no responsibility for what happens up until they are paid, I would not hire that babysitter and would probably warn others from hiring them either as they are either performing illegal acts, stealing or exploiting their clients in some fashion.
Performing a service is not equivalent to selling merchandise.

A level 50 character is a product.
A product of NCSoft.
You're not selling lvl 50 characters. You're providing a service. |
If you're interested in getting over your jealous angst, I'd be happy to help improve your in game experience through any of the wonderful items sold in the TwoHeadedBoy Market!
Also, although it is off topic, If anyone is interested in more information:
As you can see, I have moved to a micro-transaction model. My build has been provided free of charge! Yes, you average citizen, can now go to the Paragon Market and duplicate the brilliance that I mentioned in the OP, and the build necessary for these feats comes at NO COST TO YOU! It's FREE! I also offer these great incentives for your support: -For 350 million infamy, my Blaster will run you through a 54x8 cave farm on Freedom! -For 500 million infamy, my Blaster will perform "Villain Stance 2" in your presence and allow you to touch his hair! -For 1 billion infamy, my Blaster will pose for a picture with you on the character of your choice! -For 2 billion infamy, my Blaster will add you to his global friends list and share cooperative and friendly dialog with you, while mentoring you and increasing your knowledge of the game! This is a one week long program, and you MUST pay up front! Please contact me on the forums- Either in this thread or via PM, or send me a tell in game (@Septipheran) if you are interested in purchasing any of the items from the newly introduced TwoHeadedBoy Market! |
If you continue to violate the rules of the thread (found in the original post) I'm afraid that I will have to enforce a one week ban on your access to the TwoHeadedBoy Market, though.
Truthfully, Id be more impressed if you didnt require Incarnate abilities.

Need. To.
Incarnate abilities are a part of every build now for any viable character. I've been around since early beta too - I remember huge feats people did with SOs. Everyone got over the whole 'now do it without IOs' 'now do it without purples' etc etc etc

I came to the thread hoping to see some cool ideas, ATs and builds that might be interesting to look at. A very neat idea. Unfortunately, I've stumbled upon a whine-fest. I don't really know who the OP is but a good idea; sadly, your juvenile follow-up posts only fueled the fires here.
Gotta be honest here - this is something the forums need to get over.

I'm not saying it isn't awesome! It is! I said I'd be more impressed. Picking the right Destiny, getting it to Tier 4, will help most builds in the survival department. Lore Pets in the damage.
But if it helps any, this is why I ran my Staff/WP Stalker through Maria Jenkins (up to the mission with Infernal & Diablolique both in the same mission) before running the incarnate content...to see if my build meets my own goals (solo AVs).

Then again, I dont understand why OP said no Patron pets.
All seems very character biased to me.
also roflmao at rules for the threads and pseudo red naming.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Sure! Please let me know as soon as you build a Controller that can farm on 54x8 as fast or faster than high end Brute sets, and solo AV's and GM's in a reasonable amount of time under the same conditions mentioned in the original post. I look forward to what you come up with!

Overall, I think it's not hard to build the "best" character when you control what categories you choose to measure and how much value to put on each of them.
Perhaps you are angry because my Blaster has tanked for your tank in the past? I'm sorry if I have invalidated any of your characters or efforts! Lucky for you with the move to my new microtransaction model, you can reap the full benefits of my build free of charge!
This is just one of the many incentives I'll be putting forward to raise awareness of the new TwoHeadedBoy Market.
I understand that you are bitter and upset, so let me encourage you to purchase a picture with my Blaster for only one billion infamy! Guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Unfortunately though, your frustration, while understandable does not excuse you from breaking the rules of the thread. Please review the original post for more information. Since this is your first violation, no action will be taken, but if you continue to disregard the rules I will be forced to instate a one week ban on your TwoHeadedBoy Market account.
Thanks for understanding!
