The first is a character based on Colossus of the X-Men.  The premise of his power is that he can emit and coat his body with a non-Newtonian fluid that becomes rigid on impact, acting like armour.  It also exists in his muscles and bones, making him very strong.  He's a Tanker with Invulnerability and Super Strength.  I made him Ukrainian, a former circus strongman before joining my mutant super-team.

I circled the temporary buffs and where you need to click to turn them off. Also note the 45% range defense which is our goal. You can access that window by hitting the "view totals" button, also circled.

 

I would consider Evasive Maneuvers a temporary buff too, since the Defense bonus shuts off the moment you do anything.

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #72: What content you do that you don't enjoy but do for a reward?]

I try to get through the Incarnate arcs for the component rewards (then I end up getting a Common one!) but they get repetitive after the first couple times and some of the missions are long. It will sometimes take weeks to get through them because I take breaks and play other characters.

This also describes every Brute, and anyone using an Enrage Inspiration.

[Best AT / Powerset to Solo content]

I soloed the Task Force Commander TFs with an Energy/Energy Blaster. No tricks needed with that amount of damage.

[What is your favorite story archs and other kinds of content others may not know about for leveling?]

I like those three arcs Mercedes Sheldon gives out at level 20+. Freakshow, Family, and Warriors.

I was also looking at this.  What is the difference between lingering and prolonged vibrations?  And the other odd vibrations?

 

I think they just gave them different names to allow the resist debuffs to stack. I honestly don't pay too much attention to them because damage is already so high, but it is noticeable when you hit a Boss with a couple debuffs then do a ton of damage with the melee attacks.

[Angels & Demons]

I remember when they first added wings there were so many "Angle" characters.

[Your Signature Characters.]

My two main characters right now are an Inv/SS Tank and Eng/Eng Blaster, so you can say I like the classics.

This combination of careless plotting, bugs and disheartening design choices does not help maintain my interest in the game.

Those who want to impress this newcomer (points to self): Have the Tank exclusively run Shadow Shard cave missions at +4x8.

 

I like doing this because I actually take some damage for a change.

[Light control based power set? Preferably with energy blast as secondary]

When I hear "light powers" I think Peacebringer. Still not a lot of control powers there, though.

The only way SS can be buffed/adjusted/fixed is if they made another set called Might and made all the adjustments for SS to it.

 

Otherwise people will be screaming on the forums, "MUH RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Yeah, I'd make the current set "Smash" and the new set "Might", which would also be balanced with Scrappers and Stalkers in mind.

[Looking for advice for Sonic Blast/Energy Manipulation?]

I can tell you that Sonic/Energy is great for soloing. Siren Song puts the minions and lts. to sleep, Screech plus the EM attacks keeps the boss stunned while you take them out.

 

Also about the KB to KD in Shockwave, I actually find it handy when some enemy groups are spread out to use the knockback to clump them together (usually for Siren Song.) But your mileage may vary.

[Invul tanker/brute and +def all questions]

Was wondering if other than spending millions on those set pieces, is there abilities which boost my protection against psi attacks?  Does Stealth?  Does Leaderships Maneuvers?  Does Weave? Does Combat Jumping?   I see many of these powers on Mids saying +def vs all, does that include psionics or not?

 

I'm pretty sure all those +Def pool powers give Psi defense now (they didn't use to.) But Invulnerability isn't as weak to Psi damage as it used to be, either. Unyielding, Resist Energies and Unstoppable all give Psi resistance. Invincibility gives a little Psi defense. It's not a big deal anymore.

[The Mindful Tank]

My Inv/Psi Tank will be sticking with Energy Mastery. Focused Accuracy is just too useful, and now they've reduced its End use too. He also uses the Force of Will pool, which I think works well with the Psi theme too.

 

But I'm glad they're adding sets and giving us more options.

[What Is The First Thing You Are Going To Do In Issue 27 Page 7?]

Maybe I'll give Storm Blast another shot.

[How to Defense soft-cap as Blaster]

The Winter themed enhancement sets all give a lot of +Defense, especially when they're boosted to Very Rare (at level 50).

[Name database - Will this get cleaned up?]

I've started a few characters on Torchbearer and have been surprised at the good names available. I lost interest in one and deleted the character, then soon saw someone else using the name. I'm just glad it found a new home.

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #63: What do you do for low level content or to get through levels 1-30?]

Mostly police scanner and bank missions to 20, then add in Tip missions. As long as your character can gradually increase difficulty, it goes very quickly.
