In-set rezzes could make coffee and provide oral sex and I still wouldn't waste a power selection on them when I can get five rez options for free.

Tso is sow, as in the female pig. The T is completely silent in this word. Tube Ji or Tube Chi. But just call him Shining Son. That's what it means.

It means you've been spelling Tub Ci wrong.

Dananshan (most common) pronunciation of the ts consonant is the zh sound, which itself sounds like sh, so it would sound like "shoe". Other dialects pronounce it the way it's spelled, ts. Properly, it's spelled txo, which is pronounced shoe or tsoo (dependent on dialect (there are... fifteen, i think)). Tsoo is the standardized English spelling. And it means crash.

Wouldn't actually help much. Proc activation looks at the base recharge time, enhanced recharge time, area factor, activation time and... I forget what else. Enhanced recharge time does reduce proc chances, but not as much as the other aspects of the power. A quick look at the sentinel T1 attacks shows that most have an unmodified proc rate of 29% with a standard 3.5 PPM proc. The 4s base recharge time, coupled with the 1.188s activation time, is why. Slotting a single level 50 RchgRdx IO only drops them to 22%, so spending a slot on a "negative Recharge" enhancement (which couldn't simply be a tweaked Slow enhancement, because being Slowed doesn't actually affect proc rates in any way) would, at best, only bring you back up to that same 29%. Spending that same slot on another proc, however, gives you another 22% proc chance (assuming the same 42.4% slotted RchgRdx), which is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than anything you could regain from the "negative Recharge" enhancement. Really, in any power where you could slot the proposed enhancement, you'd be better served just using another proc. This "negative Recharge" enhancement would just be a newb trap.

This isn't making me think "impact", it's making me think "Jesus, sharpen that thing, it's duller than a countertop."

If you want people to read everything you write, make everything you write worth reading.

There were, but the catgirls ate all of them.

I've never teamed with @Snarky. I've also never had a bad pick-up group experience on the HC servers. The fact that I play on a different shard and haven't joined any pick-up groups at all is irrelevant. The data doesn't lie.

Looking back at Stateman's sum contribution to the story... He had to be rescued, and he was a task force contact. Yeah, no reason to resurrect him.

Making room? Also, you missed the butt stuff.

You know he's just going to make a naked character now.

You don't need a stealth power, @Snarky. Even the NPCs don't want to look at you. SEE?!

The -Res makes a hit check every 0.5s.

If he's making that much, I suppose I could permit him to be my pet Rock. For a fee, of course.

There was a huge fight over the spot where she was standing. Some people wanted to stand there, other people didn't want her moved, names were called, rubber chickens were waved ominously, the usual. It was hilarious. Sorry you missed it.

That's fallacious. Of the nine powers in Storm Summoning, only 4 are capable of moving an NPC, and only two of those powers can be used for that purpose, Hurricane and Gale. You're not repositioning anything anywhere with Tornado or Lightning Storm because they're pseudo-pets. You can't control those, you can't tell them not to attack for a few seconds, you can't move them after they've been summoned, and you can't even stop them from imposing Avoid on their targets (which makes them run away from, not toward, the preferred location). 2 of 9 is the sum of Storm Summoning's enemy repositioning potential, and that is not "most of the powers", by any stretch of the imagination. You perceive the set as being focused on that because that's how you want to play it, but that's your choice, not the mandated approach to playing the set. "Can" doesn't mean "have to".

I'd ask everyone to sing along with me, but I think we're alone now.

I don't think snakes have a Fear animation, so the Stun animation was subbed in.
