You're all making the protocol much harder than it needs to be. You defeat Giant Monsters from the outside in. The typical order starts with the seafood GM and moves onto the Salad GM, but if the courses are in a different order the host should have set up the Giant Monsters accordingly so you still just need to work from the outside in.

Rudra's got the right of this. Sands of Mu, the Nemesis Staff, Judgement, and all the different Invention Origin and Interface damage procs will ignore both the rage damage boost and the rage damage crash. (though they do all benefit from the +to-hit)

I am going to deliberately misinterpret the prompt.
Radiation/Dark Tank, Dark/Radiation Corrupter, Radiation/Dark Blaster.

Honestly, Rage feels more like a barbarian power than a Super Hero power anyway. The super heroes have have anger activated powers tend to be better represented with the Fury mechanism that brutes have and before brutes were a thing, people were suggesting it as an inherent power for tanks.

in game displays for attuned enhancers are showing sets that are 10-20, 10-30, leveling with toon up to 50 and showing level 50 enhancer values...
is this a new thing? is it true?
If you look at the total enhancement bonuses you'll see the real values.

I'd wager that not being able to slot the Archetype set is intended because it's not a power that does any damage. As such, the bug is that it's listed as being able to accept them.

Hover doesn't give anyone 45% Defense, I don't believe that anyone can even have 45% Defense at such a low level and, if there's a Tank on the team it isn't needed anyway.
A Super Reflexes tank slotted with 3 Single Origin Defense enhancements in all their defenses will come very close (except for AoE).

If the devs can't "fix" Super Strength, I wonder if the could give us a different version of SS that works differently, and just let players choose which they want. Same basic animations and progression, just with the differences that some players are asking for. (So, probably "fix" Rage somehow.) Dunno if that's cool but folks seem to like new sets in general, a new SS set would give folks something new to play with.
They could call it Super Duper Strength.
Nah, the current version become Berserker Strength and the new version is Super Strength.

WHEN I used the term POWER HOUSE it was meant as some one who can stand toe to toe with the big bad and take the brunt of his attacks. WONDER WOMAN can do that,
BATMAN cant period.
NOW since so many are in favor of porting but acknowledge that rage is the problem here, let me ask you this.
WHAT IS SUPER STRENGTH WITHOUT RAGE??
rage is what sets SS apart from all other sets.
Super Strength is Super Strength. It's the only set with Foot Stomp, with Jab, Punch, Haymaker, Handclap, and Knock-out Blow.
When the game was launched the Tank damage cap was +300% (and knock-out blow was a low damage hold). When Hamidon Enhancements were released you could hit the damage cap with 6 slotted Acc/Dam hamidon enhancements and Rage did nothing.
There have been massive changes to the game since then, upping tank damage, increasing the tank damage cap, enhancement diversification, all of this significantly improved Rage while the only change to Rage itself was going from a mag 16 self stun to what is now.
What is Super Strength without rage? It's an attack set with a satisfying crunch to sounds and animations. It's brute force. It doesn't have the skill of Martial Arts, it doesn't have the finesse of Street Justice.

The loose ends that bother me most are the ones in Praetor Merchand's arc in Brickstown. Pretty much all of your friends from First Ward and Night Ward show up in two missions and then you never hear from them again. Hero side just kind of gets screwed on that. I mean, the villain side arc, you meet up with a whole bunch of people you might have interacted with, and depending on how you've handled things, they're willing to help you. Yeah, it sucks that you're messing things up for Penny if you were a Warden before swapping earths, and I won't run that arc on characters that don't want to betray her.
But hero side sucks.

I also imagine that a powerset that solely consisted of a bunch of PBAoE or ally-targeted toggles to maintain the buffs would be rather boring to play.
You've just described most Tanker primaries.

What's not to like about rebuffing? Someone has approached you and you're in a confident enough situation to be willing to turn down their advances.

You're almost certainly overthinking it. Super Strength has built up almost a mythology around it thanks to Rage, but it's still just math, and our devs are good at math.
The fact is, Rage will not be included in any ports of the set. It's that simple. Then you buff the first three powers of the set somewhat; they're the only powers in the set that are actually intentionally weaker. I wrote out a proposed treatment for Super Strength ports a few years ago using this logic:Honestly, I think if there were a "No rocks" version of stone melee there would be a lot fewer requests for Super Strength on Scrappers.

Well the last time they tried to fix Rage they gave up on it entirely due to the feedback they got.

And I'm still convinced that the reason they haven't done this is because they're not happy with the way Rage works.

why skip bitter freeze ray in favor of freeze ray?
Animation time. Bitter Freeze Ray is the same animation as Energy Transfer. It's about three seconds and it just feels like forever in combat.

Depends if 'breasted' is singular or refers to a pair.
It doesn't. Breasted is a binary. There is breasted, which has any non-zero number of breasts, and unbreasted which a zero number of breasts, the trivial set.

Briefly put, I don't think so. They all end up in Paragon City, so I'm not sure having various twin characters serves me very well.
I don't tend to do exact clones. The Praetorian version of my Radation/Radiation Tanker is a Sentinel.

Well, this is what I threw together. I tried exporting the data, but every export option just seems to crash mids.

What are your build ambitions? Hasten or no?

This is City of Heroes, it should be the Primal effect. A large population of Paragon does not remember growing up drinking Enriche. This is a real problem.
(Even in a world with multiple dimensions, false memories would still be a thing. How much harder would it be to argue with someone "No Ted, You did not come from a universe where the Pringles Man had a monocle. Ted, it's been mapped. There is no universe where he has a monocle. No, I don't know why Unai did that research either, apparently he just has that many heroes doing reconnaissance for him.")

Ninjitsu is better for Scrappers than for Stalkers, but then, so is Willpower (which lost Quick Recovery for Hide). Of the two, Ninjitsu is more of a defense set and if you want a revive you can go into the Presence Pool for Unrelenting (Invoke Panic would also be pretty thematic for a ghost).

I'm pretty sure that this would not only kind of break the auction house, but it would also ruin the economy a bit.
Currently, the auction house doesn't track if you're selling a level 25 Luck of the Gambler, a level 50 Luck of the Gambler, or an attuned Luck of the Gambler. It just knows you're selling a Luck of the Gambler Def/End and who ever buys a Luck of the Gambler Def/End at a buying price higher than your selling price could end up with your Luck of the Gambler.
This change would mean five new categories to hide enhancements in "Crafted +1, Crafted +2, Crafted +3, Crafted +4, and Crafted +5" (I imagine that +1 to +4 would be almost entirely empty but they'd still be necessary) and either mean that enhancements could no longer be pooled the same way (You'd need at least six pools, crafted/attuned, +1, +2, ...) or enhancements would still be pooled and you could just buy something that was listed as attuned as +5.
Either way it's not a good solution. And it hurts the function of boosters, which are currently a good merit and influence sink.
If it's just that you feel like you're feeling wasteful, then e-mail them to yourself or put them in supergroup storage.
