Chalkarts

I'm playing a Rad/Wpr. Between Punch Voke, My Wpr Taunt aura, and contaminated ground, do I really need to take the Taunt power?

I'm building a WPR/RAD Tanker Heightened Senses just became available but I'm not exactly sure what constitutes environmental damage. I'm thinking of skipping it. What are your thoughts? As for Strength of Will, For the build I'm working on, It doesn't seem like it would be useful often enough to use up a top tier slot for. Am I wrong?

Quite some time ago, someone on this forum suggested a character that, from 4th level on, had only Pool Powers. I kinda want to try to get one to 50, just for lols. The question is what archetype/3 starter powers to go with. I was considering something with Willpower and Melee because of the pool combat possibilities. Where would you start with this?

I've been trying to decide what I want to pair radiation affinity to.

I'm scrolling through the MM posts looking for some info on Beast. I'me not seeing much love for Beast, is it that bad?

I like to experiment with Passive regen builds. Willpower is my go to defense but I've long been on the hunt for an attack power that complemented it well. I've been playing a rad melee and between potential IO regen% slots, and a damage aura to fill in some of the taunt gap, I believe it requires further experimentaion. I'm trying to make the ultimate "Get a soda while everything dies" kind of character. I don't have to kill quickly, I just need to live longer than my foes. Anyone have a build I could examine? I'll be slotting for Passive regeneration first and foremost, then Defense and Resistance. Damage is an afterthought for this build.

I wouldn't mind it so much if maybe it were smaller. It's ok the first time or two it pops up, but after the 30th time in as many minutes it starts to feel like the game is just yelling at me. Me: Cool, lets drop some Skulls! (Proceeds to jump into the pile) SALVAGE FOUND! Me: cool. SALVAGE FOUND! RECIPE FOUND! Me: ok INSPIRATION FOUND! SALVAGE FOUND! SALVAGE FOUND! Me: Dude, enough, ok, I know I'm FInding stuff, I'll sort it out later when I'm not getting curb stomped. RECIPE FOUND! SALVAGE FOUND! SALVAGE FOUND! RECIPE FOUND! Me: STOP YELLING AT ME!!!!!

Tis a sad. Oh well, maybe something to consider in a far future update?

Prompts was a bad choice of words, but the only thing i could think of at the time, lol. When you're in battle and you kill a Mob that drops something, there is a message that flashes bright across the screen. "Recipe Found!" or "Invention Salvage Found!" I'd like to be able to turn those messages off if possible. For me they're unnecessary screen clutter.

I was wondering if it were within the ability of the Programmers to add another setting in the options. I think there is a setting that lets you turn off the "Storage Full" prompt that comes up on the screen. I don't mind the prompts that tell me that my Sotrage/Inspiratins are full. What I would like it a setting to turn off the "Found" prompts. "Inventions Salvage Found" "Recipe Found" those prompts are repetitive and kind of annoying when farming a lot. I appreciate that the system wants to tell me every time I find anything at all, "Loose Pocket Lint Found!" but I really only need to know when I'm out of space. Keep the "Full" notifications, let me turn off all the "Found" notifications. Of course, if this option already exists and I've just missed it, please point me to the right place and disregard this message.

Is there something like a discord for each server to function as Live role play or something of the like? I absolutely love the game but the Stay at Home order isolation is making me batty. Who's chatting where?

I've been using IO boosts from my other powers to enhance my across the board damage% just to squeeze a little more pain out of my auras. If I couldn't put a DMG boost on a power I gave it regen.

I've become drunk with power. My RAD/ICE Brute is in his late thirties and is the most laid back leveling I've enjoyed, lol. Initially he had no real focus other than not die, bur I've decided to MIN/MAX his two damage auras and build everything else, IOs and such, to increase their damage. What would a good spread of Proc enhancements to slot into the powers so I can just wander through the weenie crowd and watch them die, lol. It doesn't have to be fast, just steady and survivable.

I'm also planning to boost the knockback from the beam weapon. there are some decent IO combos for +Dmg % among the knockback sets. I'm not sure if the build is decent enough to actually make it to 50, but He looks cool and entertains me. I have too much free time.

I've made a Bots/Forcefields Mastermind. I tend to get hooked on characters based on the aesthetic. I'm hooked. I wanted to focus on the knockback aspects, just for the funnies. This is a purely solo character, Any group would be right to hate me. So if I focused on Defense and Knockback, with some decent procs and damage boosts from IOs, I'm thinking the fights would be long and humorous, but my survivability would be high. Thoughts?

I figured there were probably a lot of these out there so I wanted to hit y'all up and see if there are any powers I should skip or if they all rock. I was going to go with Jump for my movement, and was thinking of a couple of fighting powers as well. I'm trying to keep an all natural, no visible powers aesthetic., Just a Big Barbarian that murders everything with an axe. Would it be wise to IO for regen or should I focus on something else?

Psi looks pretty cool, I'm still not sure what to pair it with. I'm thinking about Dark Armor, and IO kit it for regen so I can take the most advantage of oppressive gloom.

Is Psionic melee at all useful against robotic foes, and what does it go well with as a defense power?

I'm trying to decide what to pair with a shield. I don't want to do Ice or Fire melee. Lightning seems to have some good synergy for AoE but I just don't like their combined aesthetic. Does that leave me with just Super Strength for a Good AoE? Does Martial Arts work well with shield?

Is it feasible to still have a powerful Ice Melee or Fire Melee tank/brute while skipping the sword powers?

Why did this get moved to suggestions/Feedback? I'm not suggesting the game remove the graphics or changing them in any way. I'm asking if its ok to skip them.

I want to play with some ice or fire melee but I have a problem. I loathe the graphics for the sword powers. I don't know why but they irritate me. It's totally a me problem, lol. Is it feasible to still have a powerful tank/brute of either kind skipping the sword powers?

I made a toon several months ago, Water/Rad Sentinel, specifically for an aesthetically distasteful joke character. Didn't really give the combo much thought beyond what it would look like. Now I've totally fallen in love with the combo. Water Blast is awesome. I've been giving him IO set to increase his endurance refresh, Kinda wanna pour the fluids non-stop. Can anyone give me some pointers on taking this combo from chuckles to crusher?

For a character Min/Maxed specifically for knockback, even considering set boosts to KB, What is the Knockbackiest powerset?

I was thinking of combining it with E-blast and making a knockback god. Just flinging mobs about. I looked at a corruptor with Force field for the repeling aura but I didn't feel like, once all was said and done, that it would be as survivable as a sentinel. So I was looking for a good secondary to go with a high rate of mobs bouncing off of walls. SuRef seemed to compliment a constant rapid fire approach, to just pour E-blast powers onto my foes like a fire hose that throws them across the room.
