I'd be down for a new set of dual-wielding, smashing-damage clubs, especially if the combo mechanic were removed.

this is a good point, and not just as far as procs but you also run into the Rule of 5 faster, and run out of purple sets, and winter AOs, etc etc etc.

Disagree, I think debuffs are pretty great. Rolling a team of 8 corrupters on a hardmode sf is easy and fun.

Some of this already exists in the task force and ouroborus settings, where you can buff enemies, debuff players, disable enhancement bonuses, etc. My regular team will often buff enemies to give ourselves an additional challenge. Hardmode settings will also give enemies more defense and tohit/perception, without debuffing players.

I did Dr. Q once early when I came back to Homecoming to get the badge, and again yesterday in time for the WST rollover when asked by some friends. I can comfortably wait another 4 years before doing it again. Maybe longer.

i love my invuln/katana guy. i don't focus much on damage as i team exclusively, and he's got lots of different ways to survive the hardest content. the taunt animation is awesome.

lol "differently abled heroes" what a great line It's amazing the reaction we still have to large-scale nerfs like ED and SWG's CU and NGE...it speaks to how people feel about the time they invest into a game, only to see it discarded for the sake of balance. Maybe there's a lesson future-gamemakers can take away from that.

Here's a quick visual example from Mids, of a Corrupter's Whirpool 6-slotted with Artillery. The Damage bonus is 95.11%, which is reduced by ED from what it actually would be, 100.7%. The more you overdrive an aspect, the more severe the reduction. 3% of my damage enhancement and 6% of my recharge enhancement are wasted by slotting this way. Why do it then? Because in this case I am stacking Ranged Defense bonuses provided by 6-slotting the Artillery set.

I'd write new missions and task forces.

We already get rewards at vet level 99 including a badge and emp merits, I think another enhancement slot is overpowered for a reward. I could get behind an unpowered reward, like a decorative pet or something.

I think Trick Arrow is the strongest pure-debuff set in the game. It is highly active, so be ready for that. My fire/ta corr is awesome.

this what i use, i tend to look for ranged defense over recharge as i am busy enough attacking, buffing and debuffing that i always have whatever i need ready to go.

After the changes to fire melee broke the arcs I usually used, I made my own. #55870, on the Croatoa farm map with a bunch of pumpkins come-to-life.

heck yeah, give me one of those F35s from the Lambda trial!

If City of Gyros were real, the hero Jiro would get a lamb and beef gyro, hold the onion and tomato.

Only took me 4 years to get here...

This is what I have been running. Feels weird to skip Death Shroud and Hasten, but Folding bad guys onto Tar Patch and using the 3 AOEs is just too much fun. 4, once I get the Void Judgement.

I disagree, I think it is fun and funny. Funny when it happens to me, funny when it happens to a teammate. I wish it happened more often.

From the notes: Be aware the AI is not any smarter for this, and it may completely ignore powers you give it depending on its attack chain. Expect to experiment some to get intended results. You've got a lot going on, probably more than the computer is able to have your character execute. I have a couple characters that I give "auto" armor powers to, otherwise I have the most success with giving them 1 or 2 "signature" powers that they can mix in for flavor. A lot of the powers you are using require your character to target enemies to execute, which could lead to further confusion by the NPC. You may see more success if you stick to the powers they can execute without an enemy target. Like most things I find with AE, it's going to take some trial and error to see what works. Good luck!

I always thought it would be cool if we could all earn bounties from various factions, leading them to hire mercenary bounty hunters who often show up in our missions, similar to Void Hunters coming after Khelds. Just finished a Ms Liberty TF? Lord Recluse puts a price on your head and Guts N Glory took out the contract and springs a trap on you while you're running a LGTF.

sorry i won't be able to make it this weekend, super bowl plans! i still love this idea and will try to transfer over to everlasting for next sunday's run

I complete Alpha first, then Judgement (the most fun), then Destiny (the most requested by teammates), then Hybrid. Then I worry about Interface, and finally the Lores (the worst).

I have a magic psychic and a natural, alien, psychic. The only rule is that which you make for yourself!

Fortitude is still awesome, but when you compare the RAs and AB to a set like Nature, it kind of gets lapped in the buff department, plus Nature has some debuffs thrown in. An Empath would be great if you spend a lot of time on Positron and Yin TFs, but in the higher levels, most people I know don't need the heals, regenerations, clear minds of the set and want more +rech +dam +absorb +end. Maybe if Absorb Pain were converted into a PBAOE absorb power for the team. We could also combine the two RA powers into one, and add a new debuffing offensive power such as "debuff an enemy damage/damage resist while at the same time debuffing self damage/damage resist," in keeping with the Empath theme. I had an empath defender on Live, and have one here, but I feel a lot more useful on a kin, nature, time, etc.

An NPC named Wes in Atlas Park said Perez Park was supposed to get a zoo! That would be awesome! Super-powered mutant gibbons? Yes please!
