Spaghetti Betty

There really isn't much too look at during Dr Q, but we did have a special guest make an appearance. Seems like not the most ideal vacation spot maybe?

Nudity? Where? I need proof for scientific reasons!

Ew, I felt this.

Woo! As someone who runs Advanced Difficulty TFs daily, I absolutely adore them. I've ran starred ITFs up, down, around, forwards, backwards, and sideways with every different kind of team comp imaginable since it was released! I run starred ASFs pretty often too, but not nearly as much. It's like comparing a lake to an ocean. I can personally attest to the fact that even a 4* ITF can be conquered by sheer tactical knowledge and preserverance in 99.9% of cases (with the caveat that everyone has a fully decked out build). You can join the Master ITF channel if you're looking to dip your toes into this kind of stuff! Although it's a bit quiet right now, but I'm looking to change that. They gave me big boots recently Only slightly. If anything, it only made the real winners stick out more, but there is no reason to bar anyone from entry into Hard Mode. Good players matter way more. There's also a somewhat prevalent notion going around that "control is useless" is Hard Mode, but I find that's only really relegated to the ITF, where mobs were given a blanket mag 10 protection to mez (excluding Surgeons) instead of their immunity shout. Anything can work! I would probably use them more if I could get people on board! Hard Mode DFB! In all seriousness, I would like to see all of them get the treatment at some point, but my biased choice is Katie Hannon. I love that TF. Well, the big stinker is Barrier. How many see MUST HAVE T4 BARRIER when a Hard Mode run is being announced? It really is a bandaid fix for the PUG roulette. The easiest way to reduce the most incoming damage is to have capped DEF and RES most of the time. 6-7 Barriers and an Incan or two is the most optimal setup, but I've seen oddball combinations work as well. 1 Rebirth can have massive value if heals on the team are lax. An Ageless is great if there aren't any Recovery buffers on the team. And also, this stuff only really matters on 3* and up! Bring whatever you want on lower difficulties! That being said, Destiny is really the only choice that gets picked apart constantly since they can make or break a team. Everything else is essentially minmax fluff.

Don't mind if I do!

Since everything is free and unlocked for SGs, I have my own that I use to house all of my alts, storage, and make some neat rooms every now and then. As far as global friends go, I generally don't add anyone unless they add me first. I can be hard to spot out in the wild, so I'm pretty sure my list still has room! As far as I'm concerned, Global channels and Coalitions have taken the place of SGs in Homecoming.

Proper etiquette is to give me all your candy, twerp!

The person in question definitely had some kind of ego trip. I have no idea who they are, but there's no absolutely no reason to join a team if you're doing it to solo. Anyone that has teamed with me where I'm on point can attest to the fact that I get really jumpy and I can up the pace really quickly while still adhering to the team's overall objective. If the leader wants to speed, I'm the speediest cheetah in the land. If we're doing a Kill Most, we are still getting done in record time, but everything will be dead. I've seriously been told to slow down on a Kill Most ITF because the leader couldn't keep up with how fast I was simply herding mobs. Don't Speed Boost me then!

That's a very efficient way of becoming a Blaster!

Or Taco Bell. Then it would be really soon!

stares at Rune of Protection Edit: I was 3 posts too late!

Try using Moment of Glory first next time!

Regen is fun!

You'd butter believe mobs need at least a dozen buffs! They get rolled over way too easily! Teams leave them pancake'd in seconds!

Nope. I don't believe there was ever a "Holy Trinity" either. I've been playing since release as well, and if anything there was more of a "Holy Triangular Pyramid". The base is made up of 3 points: Damage, Support, and Crowd Control. It didn't always necessitate "heals" or "tank", and if any combination of these 3 points were strong enough to reach the tip of the pyramid, you had a successful team. I think the major difference that might have affected viewpoints was that powerset combos were more restrictive across the ATs, defining their "roles" a little more rigidly. The game has always been about variety in team compositions.

This is how I built the one Sentinel I play the most. It's a scrappy Sonic/Fire/Psi procbomber. I'm always impressed by how well it can dump damage (Inherent -> Aim -> Screech -> Mind Probe -> Dominate is a very hurt +4 boss). It takes a little planning to solo +4x8, but the output and survivability are just enough to be doable. It's even been a decent help on 4*! I'll always recommend Psi epic just for the amount of offensive power you can pull from it.

I'm looking forward to a +4 Enemies Buffed Players Debuffed Dr. Q!

Ka-blam!

I chose rocky road because it's my favorite non-regional flavor. This is my actual favorite! I almost forgot to mention that Faygo is my favorite soda brand too! It's really hard to find down here.

The flavor of the month is the same for every month: rocky road!

You're welcome!

I'll keep an eye out!

I like the existence of "cleave"-style attacks! They reward positioning greatly. Whatever unfortunate soul happens to be close enough receives the full brunt of a powerhouse ST attack. It adds identity to the set. You could always try it on a Tanker!
