On a more serious note, what I have noticed is that there's always "that one person" who can't wait like 1 minute to let others get there, so they start attacking, then others let loose, and before you know it, the monster is downed and there's lots of people upset because they wasted a trip/their time...

Yes, but for Sentinel DP, you get the +range from cryo ammo...

Going in a more sci-fi direction, "Refractobot":

Merry Xmas, from "Slay'Belle":

So here's my weird DP/Nin build that somehow gave me 61% ranged, 42% melee, and 41% AoE defense...

All is going according to plan!

The leaves aura also works well in this capacity...

That's why I surreptitiously put "open other end" on both ends of your coffin lid...

Hmm? IOs are more of an end-game thing, (yes, I know you can use them much earlier, but many games never extend their updated gear over most of the level ranges prior to their introduction, either)...

The magnetic aura is pretty close, but if you have certain PBAoE toggles on and go to PI, you'll actually "sweep up" some of the trash and carry it around with you...

It's kind of a sad mission, TBH. It's nice to be able to help him get at least a little closure. Frankly, the exploration and side quests are far more interesting than the main arc, of FO4, IMHO. I haven't played in a while, as I spend most of my gameplay time now in FO76, but, again, it's the exploration and base building that keeps me playing...

Doesn't this apply to pretty much all games that have different tiers of gear, where the "ultra-rare hard to get" items are only marginally better than the regular stuff you can get? only in CoH, you can run content with a guaranteed and reliable merit payout, so you know exactly how much you'll have to run to purchase the exact item(s) you want...

That's why he always seems to have dirty shoes... plausible deniability!

I mean, isn't that precisely what @Snarky is, (besides a sloppy eater, I mean)?

I went Leviathan on one of my "Crabberminds", for the cones and boss-tier pet...

All joking aside, it always baffled me that there is some mechanism in place that determines what doors can lead to what sort of instanced locations, but that the original devs never bothered to kind of clean that up to make more sense, (like you don't get cave maps from regular building doors, but you can get sewers, which seems weird)... Maybe it was a simple "we have X types of instanced maps we need to use, but only Y number of different door types to use, so we gotta fit them all in somehow"...

I'd love to have the glowing eyes from darkness affinity -> fade as an aura option.

I just think that this is/was a contentious subject, and some folks just want to move past it...

The 3rd episode was rather heartbreaking, but still enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the next one...

Even with my non-optimized build, IIRC, I still have over 45% ranged defense, and high 30s in melee and nearly 40+ in AoE. Unlike SR, you always have the heal to fall back on, (and I believe I took a heal from the APP as well). Also note that I did NOT take blinding powder or the T9, in favor of maneuvers and tactics, and I think I also took CJ, (but not fighting).

I have a 50 dp/nin sentinel. It's very fun to play! I can't speak to your specific build, though, as I made mine more for "flavor" than absolute effectiveness. Still, it's an effective combo and has virtually no holes in its defenses. The only areas lacking are relatively weak KB protection and a need to be ready to use your self heal or end-recovery power at a moment's notice, if enough hits get through...

Dark blast has a lot more utility, and depending on the circumstance, that may be more valuable than the extra DoTs that fire has to offer. OTOH, the -res from tar patch and the other control effects dark miasma has to offer may enable you to really unleash the extra damage fire has to offer. That being said, I'm kind of partial to dark, in this specific case, (though ice blast may be another nice option to consider).

What I'd prefer would be a generic "elementalist" set, with minions that dealt fire, water, earth, and air-based attacks, (lightning would probably be the easiest for the latter). If pet customization ever became a thing, then, sure, make them witches, or wizards, or pure elementals to your heart's content...

You could just take the lionesses from beast mastery...

I'm curious how big of a part all the other heroes depicted in the trailer will play, and, frankly, am not sold on Luthor...
