Aeroprism

Most of us have been here, playing this game forever. We're so used to seeing the various enemy groups, we know them by heart. First Hellions and Skulls, then Clockwork and Lost, Family, Warriors, all the way to The Rikti and Praetorian. Now, I was doing my Nth Striga mission today when I had this funny (and by funny, I mean useless and pointless) idea of "What kind of question would a civilian be asked before being allowed to join this or that enemy group." The questions would of course be based on our own player perception of the enemy group. I'll start: So you want to be a SKY RAIDER How do you feel about fighting in pajamas with a bicycle seat on your head? Are you comfortable with the idea of being a Captain and a Lieutenant AT THE SAME TIME? Do you like Jetpacks? Do you feel like "Running in a completely random direction as soon as the fighting starts" is a winning strategy? Do you like the idea of being bossed by jumpbots that never actually do any jumping? Your turn!

I agree that /Dark is a fantastic MM secondary. Thank you for the hindsight Tidge, I always enjoy reading your posts!

As is tradition, I resurrect this topic once a year. I was playing with my friend's tank today with my Corruptor and I felt I wanted a second duo option that was not another direct damager like my legions of tanks, scrappers and sentinels. So I remembered my happy little Beast/Dark MM which has been shelved for... quite a while. Then I look at her build. I know for a fact that I'm fairly more competent with builds now but not so much with MM builds, and this build here looks wrong. For instance, the Scorpion Shield power looks utterly redundant and useless. An inf for your thoughts? (Edit: I plugged in a few holes and removed a few whoops. I know that the Dark Miasma part is really well slotted because of Force Redux's fantastic topic up there. But the Beast part could be improved on I'm sure.) Thank you guys! Build, updated.

I haven't read each and every post of this topic (a serious crime, I know), but my take on this is that there is no need for all tanks to be one and the same. I have a Rad/Claw tank that is a damage powerhouse. Good with teams and can solo pretty much anything I tried so far. I have an Ice/Ice tank that feels like a controller-tank. The damage is not as explosive but it is nice. Hardly ever seen it faceplant. I have a few more but they're not fully grown yet so I can't really comment. I have yet to create a Tanky-tank but as it was mentioned above, Invul and Stone fit the bill quite nicely. Tanks are versatile and when well built, they can be quite hard to put down.

Interesting take on the Detonator power. Really shows MMs were made as villains. I try to imagine my blue side Beast MM exploding one of her lions and... nope. 😄 But yeah, I've tried trip mine, it's powerful but it such a rhythm breaker...

Makes sense! But on a corruptor, not so much. I chose to 6-slot Dampened Spirits (to hit debuff) in there. Since it's not really a damage power to begin with. The set bonus are very good, tons of resist for levelling to 50 and it's dirt cheap.

Speaking of Procs, the Pet set procs seem to affect pets only. Not very useful for suicide pets that aren't meant to stay on the field.

Fun fact: Seeker Drones no longer seem to accept Range Damage (Decimation) Sets. Mids Reborn also says they do, but they don't. They take pet sets now. Let's see what we can get for them...

So much awesome in those replies! I'll revisit my build tonight! I'll most likely spec Triage Beacon out but I don't know what for. I didn't take the fighting pool for this guy, the Defense bonus of Weave doesn't justify 3 powers for someone who comes with a portable Force Field and the 15% S/L on Tough is more than compensated by the epic pool. I just wanted to make a character that was not forced to follow the ever-boring cookie-cutter.

I aim to please. (With perma 5% chance of missing)

Tanking over 16 mobs is actually super easy. Bring a second tank. Bye.

This guy was a random idea I had this weekend. While I couldn't sleep. You know. Perfect time to come up with whacky characters. I love this guy so hard. He's level 19 now, mostly from story arc teams, a few solo missions at 18. -------------------------------------------------------------- AÜ-NÔWZ comes from ... well it can't really be spelt with your alphabet. It's another place. Another planet. Another multiverse thing. It happens. In his home tribe of AÜ-GGEEMEE-ÂBRÂYK, AÜ-NÔWZ used to be some sort of respected thinker. Tinker. Whatever. He thinked and tinked a lot. And his people respected him for that. He was proud of his lustrous yellow coat and his powerful, wide hawk-wings. Then the multiverse happened. Completely, totally the multiverse. Blaming it on that device AÜ-NÔWZ was experimenting with would be ludicrous. Yup. Now AÜ-NÔWZ ends up in Paragon city, where everyone has weird heads and skin color. Poor AÜ-NÔWZ. The transfer took his right arm in the process. He had to improvise. The transfer also changed his wings. But don't ask about his "new" wings. Just don't. You see, AÜ-NÔWZ is a REALLY precise shot. So at first, AÜ-NÔWZ tried to dress like the people of this strange city. If didn't go well. Frustration and anger led him in to fights and eventually, members of a Super Group called "Rise or Fall" approached him and showed him how to use that frustration to further a nobler goal. Now, AÜ-NÔWZ proudly wears the colors of his people and fights evil in Paragon City, hoping to achieve the technological means to go home some day. Now, if only the humans could learn to pronounce his name properly and NOT laugh each time they try. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I can't seem to do a proper export from MidsReborn so, here's a data chunk!)

I wanted to have people's opinion on the /Traps powerset. I currently use it on a DP/Trap Corruptor but I understand it doesn't change much from one AT to the next. I know that the rage is all about that Trip Mine, but what about the rest? Which powers are mandatory and which are skippable? I'm particularly interested in knowing about Poison Trap, Acid Mortar and Triage Beacon. Thank you! (Spoiler: It was not a trap)

Interesting ideas in there, thank you!

As I said, way above my paygrade 😄 I just buy and sell things and pretend I know what I'm doing. Slowly burning through all my 200Mil inf Emails too, making too many alts and being too generous with all the people I help spec.

Hello beautiful people. I'm making this character to complement my friend's Shield/Fire tank. This corruptor will not ever solo, always duo with said tanker. The objective was to make a relatively functionnal complement without spending too much money so no purples, no Winters unless I end up falling in love with the character. /Thermal was chosen to offer resistance to the already solid Def tanker. Dark/ was chosen because... um... it looks fun? The order in which I take the powers matters not much, my friend's tanker is already mid 30s so I'll be power-levelling this guy to somewhere around 32-35. It's my first corruptor. I'm not used to make builds for things that arent in melee so don't worry if there are really glaring mistakes in there. An inf for your toughts please, I'm open to any feedback, really, completely opened to ideas. 🙂 --------------------------- 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 -----------------------------

Or, considering how @Ukase is much more experienced than I, maybe they used that amount ON PURPOSE to throw me off. I am humbled.

I can totally extrapolate your sales price with that info. Your state secrets are all mine. /ebil

Oh. So THAT's there this Inf came from. Thanks!

😍 Nice! Looks like my Fire/Fire sentinel might get lots of attention in the coming days! Now, if only I could find a good match for /Rad... AoE madness.

Hello beautiful people. The second power of the /Fire Sentinel line, "Molten Embrace" states that "In addition, all your attacks will have a chance to inflict fire damage over time." Neat. But Fire/* already has damage over time. Does this feature add up to the Fire/* native DoT or is it a (pardon the Sentinel pun) wasted opportunity? Thank you!

Hello beautiful people. Is there a way, just like the title says, to mod out certain visual components of the game, namely: the brown/green "poison splash" effect that displays when a "Spine Melee" attack is used. I wanted to make me a nice Spines/Stone scrapper with a full crystal thematic and well, the poison juice isn't really appropriate to the aesthetics. Thanks all!

I love this guy so much.

Mothership raid... I did plenty of those, I just didn't know that was the appropriate abbreviation. Thank you.

Thank you guys! So... um... what's a MSR? (Why yes, I am the oldest noob on this server, I was there the first months on the official servers)
