As per tradition, tomorrow is the day! Santa will rise from the ashes of Last Christmas and toy makers across the globe shall know fear. Introducing a holiday story in 24 parts: The Adventures of Santa Baby; hero to some, villain to most. Will the Rogue Isles be ready for her gift-wrapped fist? Tune in to find out! (I do this run every year if I remember to. This year I am thinking of going gravity control/time manipulation. Are we still doing that thing where Propel is throwing presents for the month of December?)

Maybe a small dumb thing, but as soon as I logged in after the patch, I immediately sensed a headache and nausea coming on. Which is something I get from some games though never from CoH before. My FPS is at a steady 60+ so that wasn't it but it definitely belt like something is off. I turned off the automatic windows scaling and the feeling went away. So maybe something is going on with that setting? Anyway, the UI scaling looks great now that it isn't trying to murder my brain! 😄

If you can convince yourself to justify Mass Levitate (it's not really a telekinetic fist punch!) you could probably get away with it. But I think skipping Telekinetic Blow would hurt your rotation a lot. Especially in the early game.

I would do TW just because it has some really neat alternate attack animations when you're flying. (But try them out before committing, in case you hate it. :) )

Well hey, why don't we just do away with trying to define character concepts through arbitrary AT restrictions. "Scrappers are agile fighters" is a completely nonsense argument. It's like trying to argue that you can't be sneaky if you have impenetrable skin. Says who? Now if there's a mechanical reason not to port some of these sets, that's fine, but don't try to tell me what kind of fighter my scrapper is.

Likewise, Invulnerability get a +10% to hit buff making it relatively simple to reach instant-snipe.

I don't have any costumes that I'm super happy with, but these are a few that I'm not embarrassed to get caught with in public! This is Mortiurge, a spirit of death and vengeance that was summoned by the Circle of Thorns as a weapon against their enemies. Stuff went wrong with the binding ritual and now she's wandering the Rogue Isles, having a go at this free will thing. Spines/Invuln stalker. Aria Victory. They say she's the Incarnate of Victory, her goal is to make everyone around her feel like a superstar. Sonic/dp defender. Harry Watt was a simple guy, providing for his family as a PTS technician in Cap au Diable. One day, "something" happened to Harry at work and he turned bad. Real bad. When he came home that night, he tried to murder his family. One slasher movie later, Harry had been stopped and the Badness was gone. Hurray! Or was it? Something took root in his 14 year old daughter Yu, and it hid there for years, biding its time. Elec/elec dominator.

There is also one in Pocket D, which can be quite convenient.

On that note, do the flypose emotes work for anyone? I try eg /e flypose1 and I can tell the command was recognized, but nothing happens.

I stuck with the patron pools. I didn't really see anything in the APPs that I wanted more than the instant-cast snipe that Ghost Widow gave me.

I tend to skip the ranged attacks for my necromancer, but you can still keep okay busy, it will just take a while for dark miasma to really mature. But by the time you've applied tar patch, fearsome stare and maybe darkest night or a twilight grasp, the fight should be pretty much over. And as necromancer you will need to re-summon zombies a lot, anyway. :) If you're worried about dark miasma though, /kinetics feels pretty good and is very active. Fast zombies!

Marshal Brass (15-20, Cap au Diable): Has a story arc that unlocks Ouroboros.

Invuln also has a +to hit toggle, making it trivially easy to reach the permanent insta-snipe levels.

I play as all sorts of stalkers. Right now I have a psi/ a db/ and an nb/ They all tend to be /invuln though. I dunno, I just really like how that set is shaping out.
