Use a Peacebringer as your base builder and you don't even have to get to 4... inherent flight at 1.

Make Dominators worth playing before Perma Dom.
Greycat replied to Wavicle's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
When ED was implemented they were planning the system they scrapped that IOs replaced. I don't think we ever had information enough on that system to say they were new enhancements. Edit: See the below. Pretty sure this was the sum total of what we were told. -
Make Dominators worth playing before Perma Dom.
Greycat replied to Wavicle's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
They likely didn't want to avoid perma because IOs weren't a big thing (or ... well, anything) when they were introduced. You got perma by (a) being on a team (b) with kinetics of someone else who could boost your recharge, so it'd encourage team play. (There were other little interactions between classes, too - I want to say extra damage if a Stalker AS'd a held target, for instance, but it's been a while.) Don't forget, inventions didn't exist until issue 9. The devs had been working on some *other* system which evolved into that. So they didn't design doms (or anything else) with the expectation players would be hitting perma-anything on their own. So, no, I don't think "you can permadom on your own" was what they were waiting for people to discover. -
At worst it looks (from a quick scan) that you'd break even on each by selling the superior (catalyzed) ones, at best, might make twice what you need for the regular versions. So, yeah, I'd agree - sell them and buy the non catalyzed versions you can use right away, then.

Honestly, with the direction things seem to be going, my opinion right now is a depressed, cynical "hell with it, why not."

Yin TF and the page 5 power level changes
Greycat replied to KaizenSoze's topic in General Discussion
Next up - all powers available from level 1, because it's still not fast enough. Including incarnates.- 25 replies

Why do people hate powers that let you reposition enemies, especially ones that would otherwise be immob'd?
-
Why? Why not. By a NoFX option, I mean it. No graphics at all for anything. You animate, enemies react. You have armor on... watch your buffs to see what you have on. Doesn't really affect weapons sets too much - you're still pulling out a weapon. Don't like (say) the Earth hold graphics? They don't show up on the enemy. They just stand there struggling. Yes, not original. it's been added piecemeal as people complain about not seeing their costumes. This is mostly just saying "expand it to absolutely everything." Why? Well, aside from the flexibility people seem to want with powers that are annoying to them for whatever reason, it leads to the other half of this - "DataFX." What is this? It's sort of a techy, targeting-system view. No power effects, just a line to your target (and if it can show a range readout, add that.) AOE? Circle around the target, whether targeted or placed. PBAOE buff or debuff? Circle of the appropriate area around you, potentially with a symbol showing what it is. Armor? Symbol next to or above you (probably the power icon.) Held enemy? Just has the held/immob/whatever above them. Why? *shrug* Why not. If it were available and someone didn't like it, they wouldn't have to use it.

Make Dominators worth playing before Perma Dom.
Greycat replied to Wavicle's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
No they aren't. Nowhere near. You don't need to perma-anything or wait for incarnates for effective dominators. That's purely a playstyle choice (or crutch, depending.) Hell, I wish permadom weren't possible without teammate buffs, frankly. Same with most perma-whatevers. -
Group: - Mob is standing there. - Hit AOE immob. - Mob doesn't spread out from wandering, gets smashed with AOEs. Has nothing to do with DOTs, and all anyone needs to do is... pay attention to the way the mobs are set up. (Then again, you can push immob'd mobs together if you use hurricane or force bubble... OH WAIT THAT GOT GUTTED WITH THE NEW FFs.)

Praetorian Levelling and Groups: A Conversation
Greycat replied to TomatoPhalanges's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
My general thoughts / attitude - If you want to level quickly, don't play Praetoria. (Unless you just want the title.) I almost exclusively solo any Praetorian because, to me, the point of the zone exists in the storylines and choices, and teams just make you rush past it (and make choices you might not go with.) I generally *don't* play Praetoria in part because it was created in the era of "KNOW WHAT'S FUN? AMBUSHES! MORE AMBUSHES = MORE FUN!" and ... blah. Praetoria makes more sense as a storyline than a "side," frankly. -
Make Dominators worth playing before Perma Dom.
Greycat replied to Wavicle's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Incorrect. I have zero doms with permadom and they're perfectly fine. Yes, from level 1 onwards. Domination already builds as you use your powers, and builds faster on teams. -
The problem with that is that the clubs/event people want these characters visible, as their bios (and often their names) have things like base passcodes and event information, so they're kept in a public space (typically, but not always, Pocket D.)
-
Fairly sure they just fire off a macro (or a few) with the announcement. And if you have them on a task force (or AE, I *think,*) they'll stay connected versus going AFK. As I recall, at least.

Should I RP My Character as A Professor at the University?
Greycat replied to Paragon Vanguard's topic in Roleplaying
No, no, they want a professor, not a hooker. ;) -
They got to be kidding with the Seismic Blast on a Sentinel
Greycat replied to Diantane's topic in General Discussion
Oh, I don't know, on my blaster I'll often start Meteor, hop in, fire off Rock Shards and the combination leaves nice, big ex-spawns. But, yeah, I lead that with meteor and take advantage of the time it takes. -
Ahh. Missed that one. Makes sense, then.
-
AE tickets... eh, why not. Same with the prismatics. Easy self transfer is a thing. V-merits ... can be converted into reward, and then hero merits, at a 30:1 ratio. So they are somewhat transferrable, just not directly. My only thing with creating a "super V-merit" is that there's not much to spend them on, other than converting to reward merits. One shot to up storage, the HVAS, psy bomb, psy shield and curse breaker (which mostly has use in one arc plus the alpha unlock arc- and then only really in Lady Grey's mission) - so for me that's kind of an ëhhhhh... why?"of the three.

Assassin's chop. I'd play it just for the laughs. (Also, my first thought was Stalker BA? How does he sneak around with all those gold chains?)
-
So it boils down to new gloves and new heads, basically? Other than maybe looking odd with some weapons (or hilarious... dual pistols, with everything coming out of dragon heads?) I'm up for more costume parts. Hmm... could we have an ïnvisible"option for the pistols?
