After finishing my Fake Nemesis farm of that mission I’ve noticed that Positron stops attacking after the first 2 npc’s are sent away and BABS tends to just disappear without notice after the first 5-7 mobs.

Positron also appears to be bugged in this mission, he will stand around doing nothing even while being attacked. He won't die tho!

I'm running the SSA from Heldenjaeger on my SR/EM Tank and have all the npc's available for support. Numina's fortitude buffs everything but my defense. Adrenaline boost appears to be working normally as well.

I like this idea! 👍 +1

Accolade power huh? I like the way you think!! 😁 +1

Yeah, I had forgotten about the snowmen. 🤦‍♂️ It would be cool to expand on that for the rest of the year tho, valentines GM, st. patty’s day GM, etc...

Just tossing around some ideas here but how does a new monthly GM sound? What I had in mind is based on astrology signs. Most of them are obvious what kind of thing we would be facing but what about the not so obvious ones? Aquarius=? Pisces=fish? Aries=ram Taurus=bull Gemini=twins? Cancer=crab Leo=lion Virgo=woman? Libra=scales? Scorpio=scorpion Sagittarius=hunter? Capricorn=goat lol Sounds dumb doesn’t it? Ideas?

I’m surprised there isn’t a holiday themed GM roaming around the zones. A giant sized turkey would be hilarious to fight and a giant snowman/elf/reindeer or whatever for winter.

You might want to drop the /psy, it is a damage set that’s rarely resisted but it doesn’t come with an Aim power for spike damage. Don’t get me wrong Will Domination is a hard hitter but IMO it could use an Aim type power to make the set shine like the blaster version. I will say that it’s satisfying to see a Psy Tornado throwing mobs around and giving me the +rech from the KB proc in it.

I've finally found my main toon I think with s SR/EM tank. I've been reading this thread and been looking at your /EM build and been trying to adapt it to my toon. This is what I have. Where can I improve being a proc monster? I built this guy with the changes to EM in mind but I didn't take into account the order of powers changing and when I took Stun for when it changes to Power Crash. I see you didn't take TF and was guessing that's because of the animation? I haven't played around on beta yet to see what those changes will be like. Thanks for the feedback! 😄

I used to run a fire/dev back on live and I only tried it once and then speced out of it ASAP. I don’t think the power needs to change much other than placement. Make it ranged and keep the rest the same. Gives you a chance to use it in group play. The theme could be it’s teleported because it’s volatile and throwing it would set it off. Can’t be any more overpowered than Elec/Shield brutes and their 2 tele-nukes.

After reading that link from above I’m now at the point where the armor sets T9 needs to compliment the set, not overpower it. If the blasters T9’s got fixed because they complained of death after activation from toggle drop then why wasn’t this addressed for those in the team being the aggro distraction? It seems to me the team will faceplant faster if the melee toons faceplant in the heat of battle. What can be done to modify a sets T9 to compliment the set? This really only needs to be done to the core armor powers the game launched with, those come from a totally different era of thinking, most of the newer sets seem ok IMO. The core armors originally only let you have one toggle on at a time and nothing was done about the redundant effects some T9’s added when they changed it to multiple toggles, looking at you SR.

They would have to add a lot more to Elude to warrant me dealing with the crash. Maybe a +dam effect added? IDK

Does anyone really use their T9 god mode power anymore? I haven’t taken elude on my SR anything since ED killed permaelude. Perhaps it’s time to revisit some of these powers like they did to MoG? Maybe it’s just a SR problem cuz it’s pretty easy to softcap without using elude. Once you’re at the softcap it’s not really worth the extra movement buffs and end crash. The added run speed and jump height let my scrapper go no travel power back in the perma days.

I agree 😂I never could understand the significance of surfing on a pink disk and calling it a slide!

Woot woot drunk server in the house!!!! Hold my doobie I just faceplanted again and NOAW I’m angry! Conga rats on making it this far! I started out on Pinnacle back in I4 and never looked back! @Funda here kicking it on Excelsior with a new global of @Flaming Discharge. Yes I was lucky enough to score my old farming tanks name. heh heh 😏 I've been known to run a spine/sr scrapper called Funda Sr. that... just... won’t... stop........ faceplanting! 🤣 Quite a few familiar names I see in this post and will be joining the channel when I get home from work.

I dropped Spine Burst from my Spine/Fire brute. I find the animation feels SLOOOOOW, like trying to burst under water, and it roots you for too long IMO. I can easily fire off Throw Spines and Fireball in that amount of time. I had a Spine/SR scrapper around Issue 6 on live that I slogged all the way to 50 and that's the only toon I'd take that power for again just to fill out the attack chain. I'm currently working on refining my Plant/Psy/Ice Dom conveniently named Dominant Farmer. 😆

Ok I feel stupid now. The unique thing I had forgotten about. It’s already slotted in build up

The slots stay greyed out when I try to drag and drop the build up IO onto aim. I haven't tried with any other set IO's

I have my forms set to my numpad keys and they also change my power trays for me when I press one. I have my human form key set to change me back to human and toggle on SS and the cloak. I just press it twice to toggle both on. If you’re truly hell bent on getting some use out of it I’d recommend adding it to a human form keybind to toggle it on for you when you switch. It takes away all the difficulty of hunting for icons to toggle on.

That’s a bummer! What if I tried deleting IE from my rig? Would it still try to open a browser that’s not installed?

I do find it easy to click on a launcher link to see what info is shown. I saw that safe mode is going away and rather than search the forum I clicked the link and it opened up Internet Explorer not my default web browser.

Would it be possible to have the launcher use the web browser I prefer instead of Internet Explorer?

Well, I guess I’m the only one that has this issue, even the mods are silent. Is is there any chance we could get that changed to something a little more acceptable like up to 6’ off the ground?? Maybe 8’ cuz of mob storyline? It has caused me debt on more than one occasion.

Maybe I’m the only one here that likes to jump around with my spines/fire brute, got into that habit with my Issue 4 spines/sr scrapper, maximizing throw spines & ripper cones. Running 4x8 difficulty results in large spawns and for the most part my jumping around isn’t an issue, even when the mobs bunch up I usually end up on the ground fairly quickly to fire off a burn patch, but sometimes I get pinned against a wall and am not able to touch the ground to fire off burn. I thought that was fixed way back when so it would go off close to the ground?
