Hyperstrike

WORDS aren't offensive. And NO, I will not apologize for those who find the concept I've just forwarded "offensive". They're just words. It's the thought process used by the person uttering or hearing the words. Thus, in the end, it's entirely a "you" problem. As such, this is why we have the word filter. Use it, or don't. Play or don't. In the end, the only one you have ANY modicum of control over is YOURSELF.

It's also impossible due to merit-based reward systems.

This is more or less Hyperstrike in his current, non-maxed form. It's a relatively speedy scranker. And still total overkill for 90+% of the game. You'll be Resist Maxed to S/L by default so you can run with Tough turned off. Basically shuffle between your ST Melee attacks, and Foot Stomp is up so often it's practically a damage aura. The build is basically self-sufficient, endurance-efficient and straightforward. No real gimmicks. If you worry about the "Psi Hole", strip out the Def/End LOTG IOs and transfer the slots to your earliest Resist powers and drop in the Aegis unique and a couple Impervium Armor psi resists. I'm a Defense weenie, so I see that this drops En/Neg Defense below soft-cap with one enemy in range. That's easily fixed. Walk into (or taunt in) a couple more enemies and Incarnate Soft Cap can be all yours!

The choices to stay away from the Winter sets do compromise your mitigations a bit...

Since it was never an ACTUAL Barbie take-off, I seriously doubt it. It was actually more of a commentary on the Costume Creator

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

Hear me out! Now what does that sound like?

Yep. Fire/Fire Tank. And pre-existed this movie by a huge margin.

Another vote for "ignore most of the combos, concentrate on DPS"

Why Gremlins? Because you didn't listen and fed the Mogwai after midnight.

"Area Denial" In reality, it doesn't really work out. HOWEVER, in prolonged combat, you'll find the majority of your damage will be done through...Hot Feet. Toss in debuffs, various procs, etc, and that works out to a WHOPPING amount of damage.

W00T! Welcome back bub!

Self -90% Hit Points, -100% Endurance (after 3 min delay) Saying "it doesn't detoggle" is disingenuous. Yes, it doesn't auto-detoggle ANYTHING. Technically having ALL your Endurance "go away" is what does.

I've had builds that lean on Unstop as well. Again, there are other, cheaper, better ways to make yourself more durable WITHOUT a suicide button. Because the crash and the MANDATORY RESET due to bottoming out your blue bar and tanking your Recovery is just that. You, the guy dragging most of a team's aggro has to somehow withdraw from in your face combat, hope you don't get chased down, and then reset all your armors. Build plan?

Discord is NEVER required for the game. The Mids people might disagree. But I don't care. To play the game, you don't need it. So? Why do *I* keep it around? We have a bot monitoring our primary channel and gives us access to talk to people in-game without being logged into the game 24x7. Which would be awkward. Also, I stream my Wednesday night mothership raid.

As something of an Invuln addict, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I would recommend this. Can it get you better Resists? Sure! However the power is essentially a delayed self-destruct button. And unless you're monitoring it VERY carefully, you're gonna get bit. There are more effective things you can do to maximize your overall survivability. IMNSHO, Unstop is a waste of a power pick and really needs to be revamped into something actually useful.

Try to avoid pennies and light sockets at the same time...

That's like saying "Water is wet."

Not that I don't believe you. But if people are reporting and blocking, where does this "counterculture" live in the game? If you're talking out IRL, that's politics. Something that needs to be assiduously avoided at all costs.

Something something idiots. Something something drag you down. Something something beat you with experience. Reacting to these asshats gives them what they want. Report them. Mute/ignore them Move on "Fighting" them simply gives them the affirmation they want. DON'T FEED THE TROLLS! Same thing with the mental defectives who try to start up blatantly political crap. We see enough of that crap every day. I don't want to see it in my damn passtimes as well!

If the original is causing problems, open a second copy and manually recreate it with the original example open.
