Heh, yes 🙂 Among my regular group, we call it "Devastatingly Slow". I skip Proton Sweep all the time, every time.

Radiation Siphon has to hit a Contaminated target for the heal to go off, so it can be a little unreliable. However, Irradiated Ground can be slotted with a number of damage and utility procs, and the patches keep things mad at you if they stand in them. I have a SR/Rad/Soul Tanker that I use to pull on MSR and it's survivability vs Lvl 54 Rikti is great. It should be a good combo on the ASF, especially with team support.

Something I haven't seen mentioned that can easily be set aside for a future release: Crystal armor's original power customization has glowing crystals, but the recolorable style does not glow. The non-glowing crystals look awesome with certain color combos, so I wouldn't want to see them go, but can a recolorable+glowing option be added? Thanks!

Yeah, you currently need to use the Ultimate Inspirations to gain an effective level to grab +4 Bosses/Elite Bosses.

Very cool idea! How about "Grand Master of..."?

Good on ya!

A new story arc:

With moonbeam/gloom/zapp, are these being slotted as proc bombs somehow (like Sentinel Dominate) or just with regular ranged/snipe IOs with just the one damage proc? (I just realized that on my Scrappers, I always go Body Mastery, and on my Tankers, I'm chasing Dark Obliteration to use as a Ragnarok slotted pulling tool.)

Ah ha! Claws 100% then!

Seconding the recommendation for Claws, it has a great mix of attack "shapes" and is especially satisfying on a Scrapper. If you are focused on Single Target damage, why are you leaving out Energy Melee? However, don't forget that Scrappers are getting Stone Melee too, which looks like it's going to be pretty darn fun too. Also Dual Blades is getting some QoL love on the beta server, so you may want to test drive that too. Of course, the other correct answer is "You have 1000 character slots and free renames! Make one of each!" 🙂

Maybe check your alignment? If you are currently a Villain, it may not show?

I think Hybrid only shows up when you toggle it on?

Who cares about popularity? I pulled on Mothership Raids on mine until Vet lvl 100. I play it less now only because it doesn't earn Empyrean Merits any more, and well, Alts. SR/Claws is a lean, mean, and agile. It never looks back at explosions.

Defense with Defense Debuff Resistance (DDR) is Great! Defense backed up by good Resistances is Great! Defense with Defense Debuff Resistance (DDR) and good Resistances is Shield! For your reading enjoyment, a thread from about a month ago.

Seems like it's back up.

Make them buffable 🙂

Maybe if they ever make Fear and/or Confuse Purple Sets, they could be Halloween Themed?

Last week while trick or treating at the Peregrine Island No Tell Motel on Indomitable, a Zombie Invasion happened. I only saw a handful of Invasion Zombies spawn, and these were mostly (only?) coming up on the balconies of the Motel. This was with a 3 team league in the area. I can only guess that something inhibits the Invasion Zombies on the ground level at the Motel, and so league leaders move to better hunting grounds for the invasion. (It would be funny in the in-game lore was that directly under the parking lot was some Portal Corp lab, and there just isn't enough dirt to spawn zombies)

I very much like the idea, and really like the mental image of using force field textured spheres and shapes along with the various "bouncy" sounds. I do have some thoughts about the power names T2: Cutting Shield and T1: Explosive Shield. I think that it might be confusing for offensive powers to have "shield" in the name. Are you avoiding the word "bubble"? How about "Bubble Bomb" for the tier 1? or maybe "Unstable Bubble"? "Cutting Bubble" for the tier 2 sounds nice and idiosyncratic, like a super power should.

On my Rad/TW Tanker, I have (in order taken): Defensive Sweep, Taunt, Follow Through, Build Momentum, Titan Sweep, Rend Armor, Whirling Smash, Arc of Destruction. The rationale is to take my Radiation Armor powers early and establish the character as hard to kill at as low a level as possible. When running the Positron TFs, I have Build Momentum, a couple of attacks, and Taunt. This coupled with the other aggro management tools at that level (Radiation Therapy and Beta Decay) lets me contribute. I think the "Must Have" powers are Build Momentum, Follow Through, Rend Armor and Arc of Destruction. However, Whirling Smash is very satisfying, and Defensive Sweep deserves an honorable mention for being a Luck of the Gambler Mule.

Welcome to City of Villains and Heroes! Have a look at the following thread that seems relevant to this post: Being a Tanker in this, The One True Game™, is a whole kaleidoscope of different and nuanced actions and reactions. There is no one-size-fits-all way to Tank. Revel in that! Make a Tanker that can smash a group by itself! Take advantage of your unkillability to "Jersey Stealth" your way to a mission glowie or the final boss room. Especially if your primary is a high Defense set, you may well be able to drag an aggro cap onto that one last computer, and then click it while dodging a whole room of enemies. Glorious! What's even better is if you are hard charging through the map, be sure to announce that you are "Stealthing!" to the end so that everyone knows what's going on. It's a Hoot! Also the Devs have revealed Here that more challenging content that may very well change how Tanker need to operate. Exciting times!

What I use for Shield Charge is: /bind g "Powexec_location 0:5 Shield Charge$$powexec_location target Shield Charge" That makes it so my "G" key either Shield Charges my target, or if I don't have a target selected, it puts me 5 units (feet?) directly in front of me. This helps with the camera spin quite a bit. Substitute in the key or key combo you want to Shield Charge with and try it out.

Assuming that when you say "you", that means that we would only have the super powers we already have (😉), I'd choose one of the following: Gold Brickers - Jet Packs, Fancy Guns, Chocolate Factory. Sky Raiders - Who wouldn't want to see what it's like to be a Porter? Arachnos - An industrious person could get promoted into the Crab Spiders, Marshal, or even Arbiter.
