Being paid to do a job never encouraged a single one of my co-workers to actually do that job. 🤷‍♀️

Sean Connery in a diaper, thigh-high boots and suspenders was the masterpiece. I wonder if he kept the costume...

Came to be shouty. Leaving after placing a request to have the thread stickied. 👍

You're projecting an expenditure of 1.5-2x actual cost on everything (except the Winter enhancements)?

Wear protection if you do.

There are only ten purple sets, there isn't a purple set for every enhancement category, and every purple IO is unique. Even if you include Winter sets and ATOs, you couldn't spend 2.2 billion this way even if you made a concerted effort.

Legal briefs.

Now here's a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is.

Fold Space makes every cone, AoE and PBAoE bigger on the inside. The Doctor approves.

They were changed to suppress in the last update. Actually, they were changed to apply Only Affecting Self, so technically, your toggles aren't even suppressed. Same net effect, you can ride without retoggling now.

Unless they've been changed, or recently flagged to ignore buffs. They are pets, but they're pets acting as the player's powers and they're expected to perform in specific ways, such as increasing their damage output when buffed. When you activate Blizzard, the game wants you to view it though your character is creating that swirling mass of snow and wind, so it hides the fact that the blizzard is actually an invisible pet with a rapidly activating PBAoE. Assault has to affect the damage that pet deals in order to maintain that verisimilitude.

I respeced out of Soul because my widow kept dying seconds after I summoned her, even though I run Grant Cover despite playing solo (the debuff resistances are worth the toggle cost). I thought a ranged pet would be better because it would be away from all the big, scary things I was beating to a pulp. Oh, no no no, it's even less likely to survive, because being ranged means it tends to stay OUTSIDE of Grant Cover's radius.

The Taunt in Gauntlet is mag 4, and it's not variable. And it's not the pet's Gauntlet, the pet doesn't have that power. It's my Gauntlet. The game is applying it to the PPP pet because my character "owns" the pet. Like Rain of Arrows benefiting from Assault. The pet's threat is my threat, because the pet's damage is mine.

All of them, yes. Reactive Defenses did cease granting set bonuses at that level. Synapse's Shock, Power Transfer, Sudden Acceleration and Bombardment, however, continued granting bonuses when exemplared below their minimum slotting level. All sets created recently. I'm guessing that Artillery will display the same behavior. Probably Experienced Marksman, too, but given that it can be slotted at level 7, it's probably moot.

What? Fucking what? How, by any logic or reasoning, could it possibly be a good idea to allow a PPP pet with no Defense, token Resistance to two damage types, the hit points of a naked squishie, and exactly one mitigation power on a 50 minute recharge timer (why it needs to be that long, when the pet has a 4 minute duration, i can't even begin to imagine), to taunt? I did expect, when I respeced into the pet, to have to put a little effort toward keeping it alive if I was going to use it. That I would occasionally have to peel aggro off of it, to guard and protect it to some extent... This isn't a little effort, it's a 4 minute fight against myself. A dick measuring contest in which I'm the only participant, and I'm fucking losing. I understand that it's simply inheriting the effect from the character, but I don't understand why it was ever allowed. Is this an oversight, or a deliberate and malicious decision to allow PPP pets to function in a manner which is obviously detrimental, as a means of imposing a (poorly devised) limitation by ensuring that the pets would die seconds after being summoned, instead of, oh, I don't know, altering the scalars/modifiers? 😠

Everyone without status protection?

Sounds similar to The Thirteenth Floor.
