400 hours for my first 50. 50 my second. 250 for my first 50 villain. So, I hear ya.
This is how I remembered the game up on coming back. I never had a 50 on live because I didn't have time to play. I had a few around 32ish range but that was all.

With XP boosters and the ability to sidekick, you can still get to lvl 50 (even twice) without knowing much about the game. I understand the complaint that people ruin endgame activity by showing up without even knowing the basics of the game...bit that's a cultural shift in some of the player base more than anything. People will always find a way to get to the endgame contact without playing much, and likewise, even some people who have played for long and often don't fully understand or appreciate the game dynamics.
Just gotta play how you play and try to find good teammates/friends to call on.

Some powers (like Rain of Fire) sorta take priority over others for "kill shot". So it pretty much doesn't mean anything. When using my fire blaster I seem to get credit for almost every kill even if I do almost no damage.

there's already plenty of good options in game that various NPCs have access too that could hopefully be ported as options to PCs.
Good call. There are animations from the teleport attacks but I wouldn't want those ported over because those should be unique to those power sets. Especially because it's the last or second to last power in those sets so it would be lame if anyone could just take combat teleport and have your cool Lightning Rod effect.
Plus it would be weird if someone did a Shield Charge or Savage Leap but it didn't actually attack anything...

I was just talking about this ingame yesterday. I'd love to have 5 or 6 different animations to pick from.
New animations would turn Teleport pool into the new "it" pool".

I was actually about to post on this topic. I'd be happy to have the animation for Jaunt as an option for Combat Teleport and Teleportation.
Most of my favorite teleporters in comics tend to teleport more actively and movement looking more like Jaunt while teleporting, especially in battle. Because combat teleport is the "battle teleport" having the Jaunt animation makes more sense. Since that animation is already "created", I had hoped that it might be an easier port....
Thank you.

I play Live using the 64 bit client but the 64 bit Beta client gives me lots of problems, super laggy, textures not displaying properly, all kinds of weird stuff. The 32 bit Beta client works perfectly for me though, maybe try that.
Worked perfectly with 32-bit. Thank you.
Also, I have no end redux slotted in SS and I'm not getting momentum to trigger either.

Yes I got this from the beta server. In combat Stealth defense was 1.88, just like live.
Dope. Thank you very much! Is Beta extremely laggy for everyone or is it just me and my subpar computer? I have no issue playing the normal live version, but Beta lags to the point where it's almost unplayable and rubberbanding.
-

Ok, so apparently I was wrong about this.
In combat it is the same as Stealth on Live.
OUT of combat it is the same as Invisibility on Live which is higher.Ah, gotcha. Thanks. DId you get the numbers from Beta testing? Would you happen to have the number for stealth's defense in combat?
-
Just wanted to say a huge thanks for this update. I'm glad the travel powers got a good looks. It all sounds great to me being one of those fools who takes a travel power (or two) on every single toon.
I started playing in 04 and remember how much of a rite of passage level 14 used to be for getting access to travel powers. This should do a lot to re-establish them as a key upgrade for characters.
Also, does anyone know what the defense bonus of stealth in combat now and after the update?

Daredevil is 100% a Scrapper.
Him using shadows to hide in is one of the dumbest things I've seen (not from you guys, from the comics). He is blind with ZERO light perception. How can you use a shadow to conceal yourself when you have no idea where the shadows are? He could have a floodlight pointed right at him and never know it if it was far enough away to not detect the heat.
He fights mostly at night because he doesn't rely on sight and nighttime is generally darker, but he doesn't (or shouldn't) know exactly how well lit any given location is.
This is a funny take but if you go by the level of his other senses from the Netflix version, he would definitely know where the light is.
He could hear the faint electric whizzing from bulbs and tell how powerful they are. The slight change in temperature from the light would also be noticable to him. And from all his training he'd know what level of light corresponds to what other humans would need to see. So, considering the level of ability that they gave him and his training with Stick, I think it made sense.

even though you supposedly can't use Shinobi with Combat Jumping by description, you actually can. And the results are pretty impressive.
the real problem is that you can't run combat jumping with ninja run. If you could use combat jump, sprint, ninja run, and shinobi all together, you'd have a really good time.

Great job Devs. Thanks for what you do.

Exactly. That was my point as well.

Several hours for a small update? lol
Well they're also doing some general maintenance on the server and they mentioned an OS update. So they've explained it (though they really have no obligation to explain themselves).

Willpower/Street Justice
I'd say invul is a second choice but with no natural res/def to psi, it doesn't fit the name of a stubborn tough guy as well. But Invul still gives the image of you taking all the hits and refusing to go down so it's a second choice if you hate Willpower or something.
For secondary street justice is great but Super Strength with all the knockdown fits well for a guy who is literally the last one standing.

How to put this delicately: Some people, who feel inferior, think they have to tear down that which is superior, in order to feel better about themselves. Other people are just trolls.
Dark/Dark's a great combo, here's why: Things that people complain about in Dark Armor are addressed in Dark Melee, and vice-versa.
DM is light on AoE - DA has Death Shroud
DA is an endurance hog - DM has Dark Consumption to solve your endurance woes.
Cloak of Fear is Mag 2, add a Mag 3 Touch of Fear and you've scared the boss.
Soul Drain is a fantastic build up and buffs your DA cloak attacks in addition to your primary attacks.
Dark Armor provides probably the most Psi resist of any armor set and can be built with tons of defense and overall resist, as shown by builds posted here.
The only real drawback is that you may never see your costume again.
Looking at other ATs all the various Dark powersets are pretty darn sweet.
Dark/dark controllers are awesome. late bloomer but really turns into something from what's I've seen. Dark Tanks have some of the highest resistances (to ALL damage), a very good damage/taunt aura, and some of the highest damage numbers once you can keep soul drain up. A dark Defender was my first toon and it turns tough enemies into cotton candy for the team. Can't speak to the other ATs but probably just as good.

So my last toon (or second to last) on live was a dark/dark scrapper. It was my favorite concept so it was my first toon coming back. I won't lie, I was somewhat disappointed. After putting inf in and getting my def up a bit my survivability was still not what I would have liked even with Incarnates and everything. But I think that was a lack of knowledge coming back. Most of my playing on live was pre-i6. So I didn't really know how to best use IO sets or the newer pools/power changes. Damage hadn't changed much but everything else did. I re-rolled as dark/shield and long story short, everything is amazing now. New char is a god.
Dark is fantastic. But you have to know how to maximize the damage of dark melee and work out being in huge mobs but taking everything out one at a time with 1-2 hits each. And you have to learn to throw in defense with your mostly resistance set to offset debuffs and secondary effects. I can remake my dark/dark to God status with what I've learned from other people in game and on the forums over the last months. Hell, my dark/dark probably has just as much potential than my dark/shield.
But people complain about dark sets because they're not simple. Dark melee is single target focusing with buffs that need mobs. And dark armor is a resistance set which isn't the favorite for scrappers at the moment. But I love me some cloak of Darkness and death shroud feels good to me. Sets like Katana and shield defense are simple to use and easier for a new player but don't let that discourage you from making something that's your own and that you will love, especially with all the potential it has.

I've always felt it was rude when people go off on someone posting off topic, so please don't take this that way. But, you will get more responses if you ask this question in the general discussion or in the AT specific boards instead of a server specific board.
This doesn't seem rude. You're helping OP to get more responses to a question. It's helpful advice.
To answer OP question, I would do it on a Scrapper or Stalker. Dark Melee/SR is often cited as a killer combo

Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer
Thanks. This is really helpful. I'm definitely gonna try to use this for information. Going by your name, I'm guessing you have some experience with Electric builds. The one thing that sticks out at me is the lack of a travel power. I'm not ready for the travel power free life haha. On my build I'll have to at least take super jump so that'll be a slot. I also like superspeed with it but I can live without it if it becomes necessary to build for survivability.

I have a 50 that's slotted with regular IO's right now, looking to get him tweeked out and awesome. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
How do you feel with him right now? Are you able to actually tank level 50+ content without having much Defense other than the cloak and pool powers?

All but 2 of the tanker primaries are good to go, in my actual play experience,
Which are those?
-
First Time Tanker here! I'm gonna try to be one who jumps into the first first. What I'm looking for is that Tanker experience of being...tanky. Taking or dodging hits and withstanding more than any other AT.
So opinions on here (summarizing search) seem to mostly feel that resistance sets don't shine until the late game and IOs to fill in defense. Is it crazy to build up an elec/ tanker with the hopes of keeping the build to 100-200 mil (normal people money as I'm not a farmer). I've mostly played scrappers and for them Resistance was not nearly as survivable as Defense. Blocking secondary effects and not seeing the green bar move as often seemed to make life much easier given the same investment.
On the stats Electric/Electric is the 7th most popular tank at 50 so people are playing it but I'm not sure if all those people have sunk a ton of money into it to make it viable.
Does a purely resistance set (with a small hole of toxic damage) work right now and can my concept of Electric/Elec work or is it going to screw over teammates who depend on me all the way up the levels? If it will, I would think re-rolling to Shield or Invul would be the way to go. I can always sink money from other toons in throughout the build but it's just risky if it will never amount to anything.

On beta server today:
Shadow Maul (Tanker, Scrapper, Brute, Stalker) is now a much larger, faster cone that's actually capable of easily hitting multiple targets - especially on tanks!
- Arc increased from 45 to 120 degrees.
- Recharge increased from 8 to 14 seconds.
- Cast Time reduced from 3.07 to 2.35 seconds.
-
Damage lowered from scale 2.156 to 1.588.
- DPS reduction is minor, it has only been lowered from scale 0.653 to scale 0.633.
- Target Cap increased from 10 to 16 for Tankers.
- Target Cap increased from 5 to 10 for Scrappers, Brutes and Stalkers.
They went further and lowered the recharge time down to 11s and increased the damage a smidge. While yes, the damage on it is lower on it's face, DPS is basically the same as it was now and you can hit far more targets reliably. As it was, you needed to position yourself just right to hit multiple targets or have herded a massive crowd. This update makes it much better in every way in my opinion.
This will be a large increase to survive-ability and QOL. For one, you can now hit everyone in front of you with that sweet -tohit debuff, so you're getting hit less by mobs and this keeps you in the game if your defense is taking a beating from defense debuffs. For another thing, that's less time swinging (or whiffing, if you miss) as you have a chance to hit a heal, or buff instead of helplessly watching your little green bar dwindle. I don't see any downside to this. I really appreciate how they've help the set.
Also, as far as Dark Consumption, you always have the option to slot if for damage if you want a little more AOE damage. It won't do that much but in my AOE chain it often provides just enough to take out minions at the end. And with the +25 end, you can still fill up your bar with small mobs in the early levels or when fighting end absorbing goons. The mini-nuke would have been nice but people couldn't seem to agree on what they wanted and just appreciate the damage buff. People seemed to forget that DC is an end recovery tool first and an attack second. So having a close range mini-nuke wrapped in was still going to be a dope addition even with 90 second recharge. Whatever... at least shadow maul got some love after all these year (live and HC)

In addition to the helpful info above, Fiery Aura is a Resistance set and is therefore limited by the lower resistance caps of Scrappers.
