Odd how you went from 'what about the new players' to 'all about me'.

I always test new builds on Brainstorm before building them live now. It's quite handy and helps me avoid making bad decisions with my merits and inf. (Like that Elec/MC build. Oooof.)

Have you considered that new players might watch these guys doing Stupid Scrapper Tricks and think "Holy schneikies, you can do that!? Sign me up!" I mean, where did you think those of us with tricked out 50s decided we wanted to be part of that action? "Oh you're new? Here, let me show you a neat blaster trick where I make most of the bad guys fall down with two button presses. Wasn't that neat? Now let me tell you how you can do it too."

I've been testing DM/WP. Not as offensive as SD or Bio but I'll take the trade for WP's defensive strengths. Devouring Earth at +4/x8 only dropped him to half HP and that took two spawns ganging up. And mobs still die fast anyways. Love how Touch of Fear and Shadow Maul now make a decent AoE rotation.

See what Lumi posted on the previous page. They've been posting and playing for over a year now.

Is it me or does anyone else remember that thread was started by a different account name? It was me, Wayback says its the same account.

That's just it, though, you don't have to. Task forces are designed for teams, beating it solo is a challenge created by determined players. Nobody's asking for reverting the changes made to the ITF or for team content to be made soloable. They made their own fun with the ITF and frankly I remain impressed that they have the builds and mental stamina to pull off a Werner Rules ITF. There's nothing wrong with that.

Do I need to repost the 'Quit Having Fun' pic? I personally don't have the patience for soloing a TF. However, if others do and enjoy themselves while doing so and can pull it off - who am I to tell them no?

I always go thematic because I play character concept first and meta second, and extra DPS is extra DPS. I mean, who wouldn't want to instantly summon a giant honkin' mecha to help with smacking around an archvillain? Or in Wolfhound's case, using his lore slot to run a halfway house for reformed half-human monstrosities.

Yes, those are Archetype Origin enhanceents. ATOs.

If this is about ATOs, then you get the bonus from both sets. The only way you wouldn't get a benefit from a slotted set is from the Rule of 5: If you have more than five instances that same bonus.

Daily runs on Everlasting, plus a continual stream of Tinpexes in LFG.

The top performers will be the easiest ones to steamroll, a quick check of the AE will prove it. What you're talking about would have to be dev-level choices and work, stuff like what @Piecemeal's putting together. I wouldn't leave it to a fan vote.

Ideally, I just bank mine because there's a possibility there will be other - possibly incarnate - things to spend threads on. I have T3 in everything by maybe vet level 12 at the latest. By the mid-late 20s I have T4 in everything. Do content, join Everlasting TFs, its not hard to finish it all off and in good time too.

A secret frequency that somehow is full of villains with fire-based powers. 🤔 Each existing group has its own lore and backstory that you can discover in game via exploration, plaques, missions, task forces, et al. For new groups, I'd prefer they have all that rather than simply being a group of easily forgotten radio randos.

That you came here to provoke a reaction. And you did. Congratulations. Now welcome to my ignore list.

Oh hey, its another tell.

Hence WP/MA. One tap of Storm Kick and mine is defense capped to everything except Psionic, if I remember right. And then you have the resists and the regen and the higher HP... Update: I was right. only 41% Psionic and 18% Toxic. 😄

Hey wait, Actionette (Rad/Atomic) is a rolling -def machine. I'm not transferring her to Excel, though, don't want to risk someone ninja-ing her name.

Now that I figured out that I can get better screenshots via multiboxing, have a better pic of Actionette in a rare moment of rest:
