How do you feel about... balls with eyes? ...Asking for Rularuu... 🤫

What would be interesting would be to diverge from the typical build stacks/consume stacks mechanic and instead have them build up up automatically, then have all attacks consume said stacks. So basically, you "cool off" to build up stacks in between fights, (perhaps allowing for even more stacks to accumulate), then using them up as you fight. Concentration could instead replenish the stacks, and perhaps have a flat amount of added damage and tohit based upon said stacks, instead of the typical build-up effect...

Since the tinting on the spectrum pieces seems kind of wonky, (when you factor in how the primary and secondary colors produce the end result), I'd love to have one of the colors "locked', so it shows the actual color selected AND opens up the ability to apply patterns to it.

There are a few mace attacks, but I get your point.

If you go mace mastery, you can improve his defense via scorpion shield.

That's why I suggested going with a Sentinel. Take Mace Mastery if you want to give him a bit of extra gear to utilize, as well as a "disposable" robot/cannon fodder. Having gotten several sentinels to 50 + incarnates, I can vouch for them being extremely durable once you also factor in set bonuses, and Luthor can go toe-to-toe with Superman while in his armor, at least for short stints...

Ever get the feeling that you're watching your life from just over your own shoulder? Hey, how'd that status bar get there??? o.O

When I'm leading one of those PI radio teams, I tend to drop an Ouro portal if I need to head off, so I don;t leave any lower-level players stranded mid-zone.

Well, if you wanted to go with his power armor incarnation, something like an energy blast (tinted green)/invulnerability sentinel could work. He also has private security forces, so a mercs/traps MM could also work.

Oh no doubt. I wonder if the generic leadership "fist to chest" animation could work.

Ninjitsu also has a few varieties of "press both hands together" if you wanted something more mystical, but not as hand-wavy as sorcery's.

The generic "touch random computer on your forearm" animation would be cool if you wanted a more tech-oriented animation.

But are we going for "like-minded people" or the widest reach and to reduce clutter in the general LFG chat? If it's the former, then knock yourself out. If it's the latter, then you're going to need some sort of formal implementation/declaration/enforcement.

I want to preface this topic by saying I do not run farms for other people. That being said, what I tend to do is run PI Council Radio mission teams that are open to anyone. I also tend to drop 50+ SOs on low level characters in AP to sell or save, (I tend not to have large amounts of inf). Any other things I can do on a casual basis to help others level up a bit? What things do you folks like to do with your 50s when you aren't suffering a bought of alt-itis? Thanks for your input!

The flash-step animation from burst of speed is also pretty cool.

Even accepting that, what's easier - go into your chat options and add the channel, or stick to using LFG? I'm not talking about what's "right" or correct, either. Frankly, a better approach might be to make the AE channel on/added by default, but even then, unless there is some consequence for not using it, people will still gravitate to the general LFG one. Also, as @Rudrapointed out, AE is not the only place people farm/PL.

One interesting side effect of dual pistols on sentinel, since their ice ammo also provides a 33% range buff, is consistently very long range AoEs from APP/PP and Incarnate judgements that don't suffer their normally-reduced range!

I don't think the issue is people not knowing about the channel - it's people not wanting to bother with it. Even if we spread the word, there's still no reason, as that channel has less reach...

I prefer cornbread and coffee or iced lemon cake. If you don't feel like baking, an Entemann's Louisiana Crunch Cake is a great alternative!

I made my own version - a dual pistols/ninjitsu sentinel. Take psionic mastery if you really want to round out the theme; Mass hypnosis, dominate, psychic shockwave, and link minds all fit. For reference, "The Umbral Hawk":

It's most likely the Controller inherent, "Containment" that you're thinking of.

Here's one I think turned out rather nicely - "The Shrouded Swordsman", a BS/Nin Scrapper: I wasn't quite satisfied with the mouthpiece and sword, so made a slight alteration for the second costume slot:

Nuthin' like an inflammatory/click bait title to get some attention, eh?

Wise words!

I remember a time when the popular thing was to create "realistic" or "unpowered" builds, where your only travel powers consisted of hurdle + combat jumping. Trying to survive a trip whilst under the canopy of Perez Park, with only that, or maybe hover if you were lucky, was a truly nail-biting experience.
