Mansome

I highly advise you to get another alt to fund this character and IO him/her out as you level with attuned enhancements. SR is worthless until you get closer to the defense cap which is 45% defense for normal content. Martial Arts is kind of meh now that we have things like Street Justice and Savage Melee. You pretty much have to make Eagle's Claw crit every time to be worth playing the set.

How do you claim the Powers if you have the badges? I recently teamed with a really bad team on the itf and got like 3 debt badges doing that.

In groups the setup time is just too slow. Also critters seem to know where the mines are for some reason. I would love to see the activation time shorter and damage increased. I remember back in the day on my Mastermind that was the only way to solo some of those longbow elite bosses.

I think at the very least the amount should be tweaked so only 1 to 5% of the critters damage is counted. Also the recharge of mass confusion needs to be looked at. If the other controller/dominator get pets that are perma, then mass confusion needs to be on a recharge to make it an every spawn power. It's not like mind control will be soloing the LRSF or some incarnate trial. Make it recharge faster than plants seeds. I know the argument is seeds can cause aggro. So what that is a moot point if their confused and soon to be dead.

Does this do anything for the PA damage? I am about to do a respec soon to start building for PA and needed to know if I should keep the extra slot.

Could we get a TF for the Tsoo? These guys are under used and I would like to see a TF for them. The other thing I wanted is incarnate level TFs. Essentially updated NPCs for all the TFs balanced around incarnate Powers. Like a level 54 positron TF.

I have an illusion pain controller and was wondering if it is possible to have the phantom army out permanently? I recently hit 32 and found the Phantasm to be a huge disappointment because he dies so fast in groups.

All I can do is shake my head. I just don't understand why. It's way too easy to get stuff compared to the live game. I started playing casually about a month ago and I am almost done with my 3rd level 50 build.

Changed because PVP( in issue 5 )was coming the next issue. Issue 6 when Cov came out.

When did they do the copyright?

I disagree. Willpower to me was way more survivable on SOs than Bio

This one is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Regen has been trash since instant healing became a click. The old devs made extreme heavy handed changes due to pvp. They even made things worse for stalkers by not giving them quick recovery when they know they could have put into fast healing. Stalkers had no way to offset the insane end cost of the power since 6 slotting stamina is not an option. That being said it's not like Regen could still tank hamidon. What are need is the Sentinel instant healing so we at least have something otherwise Will power is the new Regen.

I know -cov gets the villains launcher but what about the praetorian one?

Hi all, I am trying to put a build together for this character. He is almost level 50 but I am not sure what to focus on to get the best survivability with IO sets. Bio seems like a mix of things so I am not sure if I should go for recharge, resists or defense. I was thinking of 2 builds one for farming and one for end game content. When I mean farms I want to do a few quick AE missions to get tickets. While I know its better to just farm influence to get what you want I just wanted tickets because I like to make recipes into IOs. One thing I have not figured out since the game came back is how to get the AE missions to give tickets. All the ones I have tried just give standard drops. What do I need to do to make it tickets?

In PVE no amount of stealth or hide will stop certain enemies from seeing you. Basically if it can see through hide it can see through everything. PVP on the other hand is a different issue altogether. In that instance is probably okay to stack stealth. For PVE Hide is generally all you really need as a stalker.

I have not noticed any energy melee stalkers since I started playing the game. Is this set so bad now since we got new powersets? I remember on live servers this the set to pvp with back in the day. Did it get nerfed out something?

So aside from the normal archetype scaling that happens with modifiers are there some power sets that are just flat-out better on certain archtypes do to help our mechanic changing or Powers is being told I swapped out for something different? Like for instance with the whole ninjitsu thing for scrappers versus stalkers and super reflexes with Sentinels.

You not sure how to respond about the Tony thing. My Doom™ alarm has been going off ever since I heard that this morning.

Not too sure about the Hami changes. While I get why it was done it just isn't worth the effort anymore considering what IOs can do. Allow them to drop as level 53s again then I can see it worth the effort. In the meantime it might just be faster to do the TF for the SHO instead. While the merit choice is there, some TFs can be run so fast with little effort that this won't matter as a reward. Bump the merit to 100.

Is there an option to use this aura on a character as part of their costumes?

Not sure I am following this, I thought the super packs where hard coded as a minimum 10,000,000. Why would anyone pay more for this? Unless you are talking about the contents of the pack.

Was wondering about a few controller and Dom powers like volcanic gasses and artic air. Do these auto hit? Does duration enhancement, power boost or domination work for these?

Hi all I am trying to get the most out of pets while making them more survivable. The biggest issue is I don't know what the defense or resistance numbers are for the pets. I wanted to use the defense or resistance pet io to help with their squishiness. My next issue is building for perma Dom. How much recharge is s needed for perma Dom and do incarnate abilities help you at all with domination recharge or status effect duration?

Seems complicated. Might give it a try this weekend though.

my personal wishes always been for them to redesign the last power in The Mastermind primaries to be some type of power that merges all the pets into one giant pet kind of like Voltron. I'm willing to let the struggle 32 to be twice as hard if it means this could happen.
