    There are set enhancements (https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Blessing_of_the_Zephyr:_Knockback_Reduction_(4_points), https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Karma:_Knockback_Protection, https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Steadfast_Protection:_Knockback_Protection)  and other set bonuses that help mitigate knockback as well.

    I know, and some of my toons use them, but I figure if my endurance is going to suck, I'm going to own that fact.

    I've really only seen that in Twinshot/Graves. 

     

    There are quite a few annoying little bugs in the Twinshot strings. In the first mission you can end up with multiple Twinshots (and on rare occasions Flambeauxs) especially if you play with a team, and its hard to tell which Twinshot you are supposed to talk to.  Also, in the mission where you and Grym are trying to stop a demon from being summoned, Grym always stands in the Girlfriend From Hells fire until he dies. Whoever coded the Twinshot/Graves strings did so quickly and on the cheap.

    People wonder why nobody plays villains, so I made a music video about it.

    Just about every toon I make starts out a villain, turns vigilante (for faultline, striga, and croatoa-good merits and a ton of temp powers, my last two toons went both ways in striga), then goes rogue. Just about every toon I have has the title "Villain of the Month" and a surprising number of my female toons have the title "Father". I don't know why more people don't play red side, but I'm not talented enough to make a music video of it.

    I mean, they went after everything like piranhas.

    I was with a pickup team doing freakshow. I was the only tank or tanky type. As i run up to a group, the blasters set off AOEs and I can't always, or even usually get aggro.  Then it's my fault when they die.  There's only so much a tank can do, even with taunt 6 slotted with Perfect Zinger and Quills and Genetic Contamination going. There are quite a few people playing who go to the Church of Leroy Jenkins.

    How Do You Like to Level

    in General Discussion

    I usually do Mathew Burke through the snakes in Mercy, just to get used to how my toon works. Then I hit up Null the Gull and go to Atlas. There I do Habanashy/Costel/Theiry and Twinshot. Then its back to red to get the Invader badge, I have toons on two different accounts who can do it now, and maybe the Loa Bone and Plague Carrier, if not, I'll get them in flashback later.  Back to blue for the midnighter guy and more Twinshot until I hit faultline. Then all of faultline, all of striga, all of Croatoa, and usually I pop back to red to fight 8 of my clones at once at some point. After Croatoa I stay red till Maria Jenkins. Dean McAllister, whoever follows him, Doc Buzzsaw, and Mr. G are the only ones I do with all my toons. Besides them, I try different red side toons till it's Portal Jockey time. By the time I hit MJ, I try to have Invader, Atlas Medallion, and High Pain Threshold. If I can pick up a Mortamir Kal group, I'll do that too.

     

    After that it's pick up task forces I missed along with flashback, tips (staying Rogue or vigialnte) and Rikti War Zone stuff. Once I hit 50 it's Mender Rameil and when I get my alpha level shift, it's off to Dark Astoria. Then I'll do either all the Grandville or Peregrine Island contacts I can get.  The main thing is, do all the contacts I can get so I know what my toon can and can't do, and what I need to fix using incarnate powers.

     

    I have a friend who ALWAYS power levels to 50. Always takes musculature alpha, whatever the electric judgement is called, and the barrier destiny because, as he will say, they are the best and you would be stupid to take anything else. Many of his toons are level 50 and have endurance issues. He also has way over 100 level 50's spread out over 4 accounts. He has an electric/electric, fire epic, musculature/electric judgement/barrier toon on every account (really he has about 10 on each account) and that's the only toon he uses on that account, he drags others around and power levels. He has way to many toons that are sitting at level 50 doing nothing, not even incarnate stuff. I have 4 accounts and way to many level 50's too, but I know what all of them can do. He also has over a dozen toons with Unai 's mission to explore the 1st dimension (freakshow) saved and he farms that. I'll admit I have a couple of toons with that mission saved, it's a good way to get the tankbuster badge. But if I save one of Unai's missions to farm, it's more likely to be the explore the second Nemesis world mission where you have to save the trolls, and I farm that for the fakes. I can honestly say I've done most, if not all, the level 40 to 50+ contacts, red, blue, or gold a couple of times. I can honestly say my friend hasn't done the Wards once and only hits up grandville if he's piggingbacking on my missions there. Other than Tina, Maria, and Unai, he doesn't do the PI contacts. One time he tagged along on the kidnap Miss Francine string and said other than fighting freakshow it was stupid. ANd maybe it is, but he farms the same mission about 10 times a week and to me, that's stupider.

     

    This has been you're rant of the day

    Faultline arc attack problem

    in Bug Reports

    Posted

    I'm playing a Titan Weapons tank and in the first Nocturne mission and the last Sands mission, my arc attacks, including Sands of Mu, won't even target mini subs. My one on one attacks all work. Even when I can hit with like my brawl, the arcs keep saying not in range.
