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.

I solo'd Chernobog and Veles as Archvillains on my Radiation Melee Tank. I'd be surprised if a brute couldn't do it.

What I dislike most about this build is that it obviously uses Force Feedback proc to keep perma-hasten, but sticks it in Kick, which is otherwise entirely unslotted? At least putting it in Jawbreaker allows you to slot Force Feedback and an accuracy? I mean, you lose 8% regeneration, but there are so many other places that could have gotten that extra slot to get more than 8% regeneration. It also means kicking and putting away the War Mace all the time. Sure, there's the No Redraw option, but there are other places for that proc. You underestimate the value of both Power Transfer and Panacea. (Panacea's 3PPM of 7.5% Max Endurance (22.5% Recovery equivalent) according to Bopper so it out performs Numina's Convalescence on both health recovery and endurance recovery)

If I had to guess: there are certain powers you get for free if you've earned a badge, but you have to pay for them if you don't have a badge, and so "no refunds" just made it easier to deal with, fewer variables to track.

I also allows you to revoke the powers you can pay for if you decide "I never use this and it's clogging up my power tray" but you don't get your infamy back.

Just to confirm, I took a level locked 20 from Praetoria and through both Jim and Penny's arcs to get both Agent of Praeoria and Aftershock.
