There are a number of "Self" oriented power pools. The fighting pool, is attack, attack, self only toggle, self only toggle with immobilization resistance, attack. The presence pool is foe targeted, foe targeted, foe targeted, foe targeted, Self only click. The leaping pool is attack, self only toggle with immobilization protection, travel power, self only toggle with knock protection, hold protection (only mag 1), and hold resistance. As a reminder, resistance shortens duration while protection is the "If the magnitude of the status effect is less than or equal to this number, the status effect is suppressed" The exception is Res(Knock and Repel) because there is no duration on those two, just magnitudes, so knockback and repel resistance reduce the distance you are thrown. These powers are not plugging holes in crowd control vulnerability, but they do make you recover faster. Stable Footing might be able to be slotted to improve knock and repel resistance. That said, Battle Hardened seems like it might not be worth taking. Perhaps if, instead of being a toggle that provided resistance, it was a click that could be used while asleep or disoriented.

I think I'd go Bio Armour/ Poison (one of the versions that gets venomous cloud) . It's a good thematic fit, all the debuffs are good for generating aggro, and it has a non-zero amount of damage.

Okay, this is just a lazy, lazy build I put together with the concept of "what can I get in the way of psionic resists"

It only provides the buff if it hits a target.

I think losing two performance shifter: chance for endurance procs and a Panacea: chance for health and endurance proc kind of negates the .16 Recovery from set bonuses.

So... build goals here are 1) No fighting pool 2) a self-rez and 3) Incarnate softcap without alpha slotting. I didn't quite get there

Now my ridiculous goal here was perma-hoarfrost without hasten. Actually, if I just boost the Pancea set to +5 and use a recharge IO, that'd probably get me there.

The text just as you get the mission "Defeat Swann & his men" gives you the message: I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be alter, not altar.

Rebinding r to sprint or one of the runs is the fourth thing I do on a new character.

So, someone had asked for help against Vanessa DeVore. They had cleared the map but couldn't solo her. I fly over on the rocket board, jump into melee, and immediately get mezzed because I hadn't turned my toggles back on after using the Rocket Board. Luckily, the team dropped Vanessa before I had time to get my toggles up. I might have been the only person that noticed.

It's something people do just to not have an empty slot in kick.

go swimming in the lake and have a friend teleport you into the pools.

He doesn't show up in anything until after level 40. He wouldn't have been in the game at launch as such.

I recall the Hasten crash being avoidable, but it being something they fixed on live.

He's the leader of a countryless militia. All of the titles and badges of his organization are as grounded in reality as the Salvation Army's. (The 5th Column should totally have people on the corner ringing bells by cauldrons during the winter event) He recognizes no power higher than his own. He does not report to anyone, he has no accountability to anyone. Honestly, the only badges he will have are the ones he decides to give himself.

He strikes me as the type of guy who buys medals off of e-bay and awards them to himself in solemn ceremonies. He definitely has a spread sheet somewhere to remind himself of what each medal is for.

The naughty and nice bits, fine, that's a Christmas thing. The trees, fine. Have your shrubbery. The elves apparently too? I don't know, Christianity is weird. But the missions are "Defeat Winter" which is a winter solstice thing and "Save the New Year" which is weird because none of the four new years is in Tevet. The gifts that you run around opening: Aren't those part of Lord Winter's Scheme, tying back to "defeat winter" then?

The Winter event doesn't celebrate the entirety of winter, it celebrates the arrival of winter.

Okay, the problem is that Calvin is a Crusader contact too and hitting level 14, he immediately starts with the Crusader story line and never introduces you to Aaron Walker. So if you're doing Warden stuff, you have to steadfastly ignore Calvin and use the "Find Contact" button to get to Aaron Walker. Oh, sorry, I misunderstood the problem. Yeah, He's gone now. Same trouble as if you were trying to do the Warden line after doing the Responsibility arc in Imperial City.

I do put a stealth into combat jumping or sprint on my Bane because sometimes I like to take the time to position myself inside of a cluster before attacking. I found that, without the celerity, I could usually do build-up and shatter or whatever, but sometimes they'd get in hit before I did. That said, this is probably a topic better suited for the Soldiers of Arachnos forum.

One thing I've noticed about Super Strength and the Fighting Pool is that, Haymaker's endurance cost, damage, and recharge time are all fairly comparable to Cross Punch.

I'm curious to know information the game keeps track of. The game has to keep track of "You attacked this target" to some extent, because that's aggro. Can an enemy know "You attacked me with a ranged attack, so I am hitting you with auto-hit damage debuff?"

I think it's a error, The_Warpact meant to say "I just make new characters if it warrants it"

Given how much the person's head shape changes, I think it's possible that they fit into that without being cut in half. With the changes they go through, I don't think it's safe to assume normal human physiology anymore.

For your own builds it makes total sense to make decisions on how you like to play. You don't like the floating green numbers. That's fine, but if you're making recommendations and saying "you give up damage output for durability" but you choose to slot a Numina's Convalescence over Panacea, then you're giving bad advice, because Panacea provides more health per minute and more endurance per minute. It may not be to your taste, but Panacea is the better choice.
