Okay, this appears to be the only set and archetype with this issue. Staff Fighting, Claws, Spines, and Titan Weapons are all inaccessible on all archetypes, and Dual Blades is inaccessible on all other archetypes as long as Shield Defense is selected.

Currently on the Brute list, it goes Savage Melee Staff Fighting Stone Melee Spines Street Justice The scrapper list is, oddly Savage Melee Stone Melee Spines Staff Fighting Street Justice Whereas the Stalkers and Tanks seem to have the powers in the Correct order.

Okay, no Dual Blades/ Shield Defense scrappers. Edit: and I was able to make a Battle Agility/ Power Strike tanker, but I was locked out of taking Deflection as I leveled up.

And I bet I could make a Dual Blades/Shield Defense Scrapper It seems like the lock-out method was only "If you've chosen a power from Shield Defense, you can't choose Nimble Strikes" but now that you've opened up Power Strike, I was able to take that. Though it does seem as though I'm locked out of taking Battle Agility as Nimble Strikes as I level.

I was under the impression that the "pulse rate" on irradiated ground that was being changed was just for procs, not for the power itself?

Relevant patch notes: And reaching into the ground to grab a coffin does make some sense. At least as much sense as being on the third story of a building, reaching down into the floor and grabbing a rock.

So I should stalking the people who have the Bug Hunter badge? Or is that how I get the bug hunter hunter badge?

You're taking candy from stranges in houses who may decide to summon monsters to attack you. If you decide to eat that candy, it's on you. Caveat Emptor.

The easiest thing to do is have an attuned build. Or you can have two builds, one for level 50+ play and one for exemplaring. If you're really looking to just have one build and get the absolute best performance you can while exemplared or at 50+, then using level 30 enhancements and +5 boosting them will get you set bonuses from level 27 and better enhancement bonuses than attuned version. (Exception is PVP sets and Purple sets which do not lose set bonuses when you exemplar below the level at which you could slot them) Edit: As to build recommendations, it helps to have some idea of what your goals are.

The thing about Ninjitsu is that kind of turns you into a stalker. Your crit chances improve when hidden. And claws on stalkers has build-up instead of follow-up. I'm sure Claws/Ninjitsu will be fun to play, but Ninjitsu is slightly better for sets that have build-up and attacks that crit.

It's not a particularly pressing issue for me. Actually, I just dropped Cloak of Fear from my Tanker and picked up Whirlwind instead. It would still be a nice change though.

Your defender gets benefit from Vigilance when solo or when teamed with fewer than... three people? I think it starts at a 30% damage bonus, -10% for every team mate, minimum 0%.

Sorry, "Color Tintable" It's just white so it looks pretty bright.

With bright Dark Armour, I'm not noticing a fade.

All tanks can get a cone by 20 with investment in the Fighting Pool.

No, Tankers do not need a buff, not as a whole. There are specific sets that don't see as much benefit from Gauntlet as others, but Tanks are well off, if not perhaps too well off right now. Any sets that are under performing should be addressed individually rather than by tweaking Gauntlet.

I think the biggest issue of "redsiders and bluesiders can do this task force" is "Why would the Praetors give Task Forces to non-praetorians" You could run it like the unlockable task forces "you have to be a praetorian to lead the team" Actually, I think the best way to unlock these is to use badges from mission arcs, so you can run those in Ouroboros to explain why the contact trusts you.

Well, they wouldn't require turning off experience. You'd miss some content, but depending on the story you're telling, it sometimes makes sense to miss content. It would, however, make progression easier for people who didn't want to leave praetoria because it'd give them things to do after they can't get repeatable missions in the first ward or night ward.

Yes, they can. I had someone come help me when I thought that the five minute timer on defeating Warworks was earnest. I think there might be something that prevents redsiders and bluesiders from joining missions in Nova Praetoria, but I've teamed with both in the other two zones.

And I do agree that it's really hard to find the room to take a travel power with all the other powers I want to fit into Widow and Soldier builds.

Yes, but the pool power version doesn't work with Mask Presence. Turning on Infiltration turns off Mask Presence and visa versa and there is a moment, at the switch, where you are entirely visible. So it would be nice to have a version that worked with the Arachnos cloaking powers.

It'd be nice if it stacked with Mask Presence.

They don't dress like anyone else in the organization, they don't follow any of the naming patterns, so I'd assume that they're not in the organization. They're standing there, looking over Odysseus' shoulders. The warriors have at least one arc where they're trying to capture a god: it's possible that these two women are there to represent the gods they're named after. Any Odysseus is kind of under their thumbs. He claims to be a clever tactician and know that the villains are out to double cross him, but it could just as easily be that these two are giving him advice because as he gains power, so do they gain power. Meanwhile, he wanted to trap a god to try to get out from under their watchful eyes.

For me the breaking point turned out to be "costume alterations cost infamy under level 10" so I can't make alterations after seeing what a costume looks like while running around in game.

Maybe the second one was listed at 8 million?
