You could also get a giant bucket and scoop out the hot spring. Dump it over my apartment. Please. 🥶

I guess one of the reasons I asked is because Paragon City is located in Rhode Island. So, my thought process for the question was based on the game's location and America's seasonal schedule. I look outside my window and see cars buried in snow. My brain isn't computing a spring setting: no pastels in sight.

How did I not remember Nemesis?!

Are said coils heated before they are thrown? It's 7° F here and will get to a low of -1° F tonight. I will need the heat.

I can't argue with this at all. A UCS would be a most welcome addition to the game.

My biggest "want" for the Halloween event is, to have multiple enhancement sets like the winter event. One of the sets gets a proc that allows you to morph into one of the EBs for "x" secs and use their powers. And since V-Day got one, why not Halloween? IMO, this is long overdue.

You put those pennies back! I tossed em there to help the snow melt.

How dare you try to make it make sense! Now, my brain is melting, like the winter snow outside my frosted window in 45-degree heat.

We essentially have two events during the Winter, but nothing during Spring, unless I'm forgetting an event that occurs during Spring. Which could be the case as I get on in years. Is it simply to align with Valenines Day? If so, why not call the event something referencing the day and then have an actual Spring event? Two pennies tossed into the snow.

Thank you very much for your reply and suggestions. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I made all the changes you suggested and moved around the free slots which enabled AM to become perma, which was my primary goal. The build feels much better. The end drain is a bit high for my liking but, the game has plenty of ways to mitigate that. Cheers!

Goals are pretty standard. Decent range def, perma(ish) AM, low endurance usage, etc. This is primarily a solo build. I think my real issue is slotting. Are my choices overkill, or okay? Some examples. In the majority of my build iterations, Arctic Air had Contagious Confusion as a 3rd slot, but I took it out and gave that slot to Enflame thinking that AA was good enough on its own. EF used to have 2 +55 end enh. Took one out and gave it to Frostbite for the dmg proc. If I use T4 Cardiac Core, I slot Kismet. If I take T4 Vigor Core, I slot the scaling resist unique instead. Many, many changes. Mids seems to be a little wonky for me atm. Numbers are all over the place. I've been trying to decide if I want T4 Cardiac Core for the end and resist or T4 Vigor Core for all the juiciness. Unless I'm misunderstanding, Cardiac should be the better of the two for end mitigation but mids is giving several conflicting numbers showing Vigor being better when I switch between the two. Heck, mids showed that Ice Storm affected the end drain numbers when I was choosing which enh to use. 🤷‍♂️ Power choices I've gone through about 20 iterations of this build—some with all the toggles, others without. I don't think I'll need Choking Cloud or Glacier with all the other mitigation going on. I know Glacier is a nice "oh, poop" button, but eh, death is a badge too and, I know how to fly a kite. If I was teaming, I'd think I need it even less because baddies die way too fast to worry about my underwear. Rad has a lot of great tools in the shed that survival (solo or team) at range shouldn't be much of a problem anyway. I realize my heal takes me in close, but I should be fine. Rotation So, I figure, light Slappy Jack aflame, Cold Snap, Frostbite, float into Slappy Jack's melee range, let AA get to work, Lingering, RI, EF, Ice Slick, Ice Storm, Frostbite, back out, then single target bosses and lucky duckies. I'm probably missing some pieces, so, hopefully, some keener minds can highlight them for me.

I think the devs made a mistake allowing 1k chars per server. That level of name-sitting is ridiculous. Should be like 20 or 30 max per server. At least they gave us this name-release to help with the issue they caused. I wanna say I remember seeing that the reason for the 1K allowance was to foster creating more toons which in turn keeps you playing. Might also be the reason why respeccing is so terrible. The latter is jmo, though.

I solo most of the time, so, I'm terrible with names, but there are a lot of stars above people's heads in-game. 1 for a**holes, 2 for those who've commented on either my back story or costumes (so I can reciprocate), 3 raid runners, 4 for helpful people in-game, and 5 for people who have great costumes.
