I totally agree with what Neiska said. It depends. I have built toons according to their concepts. Godlike toons require expensive builds, sidekicks are stuck, generic IO. I have a Crab that has End issues because his suit is supposed to overheat.

Depends on how you play, i soft cap on certain toons, because i like racing others for the chance to open with a nuke. If you don't do that, yeah it is not needed. I also regularly join a group that does themed +4/8 Enemies buffed/Players debuffed stuff and other wacky shenanigans, so i do have some really really expensive toons. There are several ways to have softcap def, like making it with 40 def with Barrier on CD makes sure you have atleast softcap 24/7. Have around 150% recharge or so with Ageless on CD and you have perma-hasten (and solve whatever End issues you have, also that precious DDR). If you plan with Incarnate powers in mind, you can get away with tons.

Played non-stop from early access to Heart of Thorns. After that it's on and off, mostly 1 month on, 6 months off. Logging in for free updates whenever they come out.

I do enjoy my my regen scrapper on those clicky days, but i prefer a toggle armor after a long shift. I think it should be kept the way it is right now, mostly. I want to see some DeBuff Resistance vs. -heal, -regen, -rec and -recharge. Maybe tweak some numbers here and there, but a full clicky set is good variety compared to the rest.

I form teams about half the time, other times just want to jump in and kill arrest bad guys. You could say i am just lazy half the time.

I meant Double Flare, not Mire. Yeah i don't have room for Pulsar on my PB. I think if you want double Flare, have to work for it. Definitely, for both PB and WS.

Double Mire would be awesome, but i think it might be a bit too OP. I personally don't have room for Pulsar.

It is quite realistic, i bound num 3 to retoggle Cj, Weave and Manuevers, 3 taps and it's done. I do spend most of the time in human. I also bound combat flight with toggle off dwarf/squid. During constant form shifts, double Mire has everything on their butts constantly. Realistically, 45 defense is not needed at all. But it was a luxury i aimed for. For PB, recharge is everything, not 45 def.

Iirc, Ms. Liberty cannot use Excalibur. She is just keeping it safe.

ahhahaaha, it was me who commented that the fx were blinding me.

This is my current build. I chose to keep the psi hole, but i have everything else. It's Tri-form, has Perma Hasten, good damage aside from Dwarf Form, 45% S/L Def. http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1769&c=787&a=1574&f=HEX&dc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

No opinion here, but you are strong and pretty

I lvled a kin/ea , staff/invul and a elec/shield. Gotta by far the most fun one is kin/ea

Depends on your powersets, those that doesn't have their own way of recovery, it's either body mastery or ageless. Because Miracle+Panacea+Numina aren't enough.
