High_Beam

I have a question that is on my mind. Last night I was in Mids doing a framework build for my DP/Ninja Blaster and looked at Smoke Flash. at the possibility of proc firing in it. Mids says it will take taunt enhancements but wiki doesn't list that as an option (I know its a Placate power). Now when I get home I can port it to test and bump to level but maybe a quick answer here will allow me to continue my theorycrafting while at work. So can you slot taunt Sets in Smoke Flash? And if you can, if you used a damage proc like the one found in Perfect Zinger's would it invalidate the placate or would it deal the damage then the placate?

I blame Fire Farms. 🙂 All kidding aside, last night I had like 4 or 5 tech doors that you clicked, didn't open but passed through. I remember that occasionally happening back in the day so I don't think its a bug but rather some lag thing. Also fire farms 🙂

I tend to ask in tell after they announce if I can alt. I never ask to save me a spot because it just seems like bad form. Then again I would be lying if I said I didn't get salty when I ask if I can alt they say yes, then 11 seconds after switching the slot is gone. But its their team so how can I get mad. If I have that much of a hard on I should form one myself,

I have always been High_Beam on live and here (with the hyphen). High Beam (without a hyphen)was my main on Freedom from like day 2.

Gotcha. Thanks for the response. I have yet to inadvertently burden myself with this issue 🙂

What does that mean? Asking for a . . . self 🙂 Seriously, I do not understand what you mean by rule of 5. Please don't say its a new Positron Task Force.

I have received a total of 13 Aether drops on various toons. Some were doing standard Task Forces (Kal, Sutter, Moonfire) and others just regular missions (a PI Radio and a Kings Row Radio). I have not done any Hard mode anything and nothing beyond +1/+2 Difficulty setting. They all went on the market and are funding many alts now. So even though I am not a costume person, I have profited by it.

Worse yet, I have a Heavy Rock from a Mayhem Mission.

I got a rock.

Yeah sold a bunch now at the 20 mil point but as I said, not a true badger any more and not a costume person. I consider any monies earned form them as just playing with house money.

I play this brand of Blapper (Di Di Guns) and I use Eagles Claw regularly under the following situations: - Putting down heavies that are still holding on. - Lieutenants that need to be kicked in the face . . . with stilettos. - AV/Giant Monster fights where the furball simply needs more damage. - Any time I want to look awesome and Seksi kicking people in the face (and giving team mates panty shots . . . you're welcome). - It really is useful when solo or on a small team (especially with say a troller) Its a really stylistic attack that does deal a really nice amount of damage and honestly no MC Blaster should be without it becuase style is a significant factor there

I quite literally feel smarter and yet dumber at the same time. after reading that. Thanks. So much for my totally useless Information Systems Management degree 🙂 Mom said I should have been a lawyer.

Spot on! I have literally used that description to describe those and several other terrible but for some reason beloved snack items.

I play Nukems and we set the height slider to the smallest possible scale. I am always below line of sight in everything, mists, water, small toddlers, learning institutes for ants.

And just jumped in with a level 26 never done Pilgrim and got Twilight so I don't know what else to say. I will note that the 31 (Kitty Conflag was still able to get Twilight as well so the level range there may be slightly skewed but the 26 (Tideway) could not get Lazarous).

No I just went in Ouro with a natural 31 and talked to Lazarous and got the 5th mission. Hero, Sentinel, that hasnt done Pilgrim. But you will note I was 31 and got it which means Ouro flashback is shoving them up one tier. But wiki says thats always been the case..

I wasn't inferring you weren't aware other than the fact that content when in a specific level range ceases to become available when you outlevel it. Lazarus's range when not in flashback (per the wiki is 30-39) so a 40 or a 50 shouldn't normally be able to get the mission from him without a flashback. The same statement applies to Twilight Son. Pilgrim's missions are considered level 25-50 range so you could get Pilgrim at 48 or 49 or 50 without flashback and maybe that's why you aren't seeing what you saw.

Just came form Ouroboros testing with a 50. Smoke and Mirrors is a Flashback for a 50 in the 30-34 range and I will tell you that when I did it I did it like this because I had skipped most of the Ouro content when I ran DiDi to 50. 5th Column Overthrow is 35-39. Silos is classified as Level 50 content and can be flashbacked from the 50 pile.

Did they have more than two points or articulation. Barbie Bots?

I'm sure there will be one in Vegas soon enough.

Thank you all for the information. It wasn't impacting my play but I was curious.

Well I have a fully kitted incarnate DP/MC and Di Di Guns is a blast to play with solid survivability. The powers play well with blapping which was what I wanted to do, the battle flow is fast and smooth and makes me feel really magical. I have a DP/Atomic who as you pointed out is good with the things you pointed out. She struggles a little right now but Runeslinger is not yet 40 and I tend to forget she isn't Di Di and jump in more than I should. The radiation melee powers are fun but unlike MC you don't get the same suppressive and therefore life-aiding results like you do from Scorpion's Tail (stay on your buttocks while I perforate you!). I am still tweaking her because I really didn't want to slot build for huge Defense but may have to do so now, not as much as DiDi because of the -ToHit I can lay on the bad guys but I am taking too many shots jumping in.
