I will be a maybe on Ivycat - Plant/Psi Dominator

I did this crazy thing where I actually remembered to get screenshots of us during the TF! 😛

I started an elemental beasts theme of characters on Everlasting, though I'm less strict about their primary/secondary/epic all matching as I'm not overly fond of matchy matchy toons. My rule for myself is that their primary has to match their theme; the secondaries can align, but it's not a strict requirement just due to personal preference. I also went for skittles AT's and tried not to duplicate any powersets. We'll see if I tweak them again, but as of right now, my lineup is: Beast of Darkness - Dark/Dark/Soul Defender Beast of Metal - Crabbermind Beast of Air - Sonic/TA Corruptor Beast of Flora - Plant/Savage Dominator Beast of Earth - Earth/Thermal Controller Beast of Mind - Psi/STJ Tanker Beast of Fauna - Beasts/Marine MM Beast of Fire - Fire/Shield Scrapper Beast of Water - Water/Elec Blaster Beast of Light - Energy/Fire Brute Good luck with your project! I hope you update us with your progress. 🙂

I hope to be there on EnvironmentaBot - Bots/Nature MM

My trivial annoyance is the office maps. Why is each floor halved with stairs to which we then take an elevator to move to another floor. The stairs halving a floor are also not ADA compliant since the elevators take you to a completely separate floor and not the second level of a single floor.

I'm not sure I'm on board with these, but obviously, I don't speak for the devs. Demons were the S-tier set from which the other sets got modeled from for either creation or changes. I don't foresee them getting a massive overhaul the way the other sets did. They're still like A-tier. Beasts, again, were modeled after the demons and already do a lot of the extra things that were given to the sets that got overhauled. I don't think Beasts need a massive overhaul, they just need tweaking. I'm trying to remember what their big issues are--something to do with their AoE and their attack chains/timing being super wonky. Otherwise they're actually a solid primary. Thugs: I'm not sure how to tweak these guys to fit the new format. I don't know that things need a heal or absorb. Henchmen are relatively disposable--HC has made it cost nearly nothing to resummon and buff henchmen, and if you're that concerned about letting henchies die, grab a secondary with heals. Thugs are also a pretty sturdy primary as is too, so a heal seems sort of redundant.

I won't be there this week either; doing more family stuff before my dad has hernia surgery and my parents eventually leave the area for the winter.

I will not be there today; off to spend time with family

Yeah, I was thinking other servers purely for when we can't fill teams, but keep Indom for like when we can fund at least most of a team for the designated TF, if that makes sense. I know this started on Indom, so it makes sense to have Indom still be the home of TT.

As Wavicle said, Whitecap is not something you should consider skipping, especially on a melee focused primary like Necro. I do, however, recommend not taking it until after you get Tidepool, but that's just my personal preference due to the way it interacts with Tidepool. Necro/Marine is a strong combo that will want to play in melee, and part of doing that is leveraging Whitecap to knockdown foes and provide mitigation for your zombies to do their thing. For skippable powers, you'll want to either pass on Shoal Rush or Soothing Wave depending on your playstyle and preferences. Also, since you've been on a break, Necro has received a complete overhaul! Don't forget to pick up and use your personal attacks for this primary as they proc ghosts that do additional damage/tanking. Keep in mind though, if you run DFB and get in a badge group, you cannot use the personal attacks on the Vahz boss since the ghosts cannot be controlled.

Yep, if you opt to steal Blue Spectrum's power, you become a villain for the rest of the tutorial. If you do, it's kind of funny how confused and disappointed the voice actor gets.

If you choose the Galaxy City tutorial, you technically start as factionless until you get to Blue Spectrum.

Thank you Ban. 🙂 I do always wonder how many people get the reference. She's one of my daughter's favorites of my characters too.

I'm not sure I'll be available, but in case I am, I'll bring Radically Chill - Ice/Rad Controller

If you look at the Marine powerset, you'll see why. Whitecap jumps you into melee in your tide pool. The amount of buffs and damage mitigation that Marine brings to the table allow melee henchmen to perform their job easier, as well as Marine's own playstyle benefiting directly from playing in melee. I have a Marine MM in pretty much every flavor--it pairs extremely well with Necro and so far seems to be good with Ninjas.
