Sidious

I had a BS/Regen (remember those builds?) up until the end and he was godly by that time. But I see what you're getting at and fluff wise I just have a small comment, Sabretooth would be Savage/WP Brute. It would be nice to see the two builds compared.

In response to OP: Waste money on a CGI movie and then watch it flop? Only real answer I could come up with.

It's either Degenerative or Diamagnetic in my book. I just like their abilities too much.

Welcome back! :D when will the parent/child duo be bringing justice to the streets of Paragon again? I have the distinct feeling that you're going to be relegated to playing only when she doesn't want to. Which is great fun to watch as a parent. But playing in game with the kids is even more fun.

well this was an easy challenge before the nerfed DFB. There were 50's that had never leveled, seen a trainer, or done a contacts missions. Now, I think you can get to 20 easily with it.

I haven't found an issue with Fury generation. but yes, it is slow. I use War Mace/Hammer with Elec Armor (I'll give you 3 guesses who it's modeled after). Lightning Reflexes helps a little with the slow powers but not a while lot. I've considered re-rolling as a tank, I think the combo would be more beneficial as a tanker than a dps brute.

Very Cryx, I like it. Reminds me of Gaspy 1.

Like it says I'm currently leveling a SJ/DA Scrapper (he's 34 now) and am wondering if this is a decent build for him or if anyone has any tweaks they could suggest.

I got musc for my latest brutes Alpha, but given how my normal group dynamic is, I'm considering switching it to Resil. He's been doing way more "Main tanking" lately anyway. Does anyone have the number comparisons for these two?

This is true honestly. When I played swtor I found that I spent way more time on the forums than in the game itself. So far on HC, I’ve spent more time in game, but I do prowl the forums a lot. I have to say, Costuming in and of itself is at least a side game to actually playing. People spend hours PER costume in the creator and we have 9 (10 if they ever do the Halloween stuff soon) slots to fill. Watching the costume parade in AP is easily one of the more fun downtime experiences.

That's a possibility. Do you know offhand if you can make a second Homecoming account off the same email address? I made one for my son when he was that age and kept control until he was in middle school. by then he was already drifting into WoW and console gaming, and having rode the public school bus he had been exposed to more swear words than I could count. If you are there with him if he has any questions he can ask you right there, and show off his super cool, awesome, whatever monstrosity he makes with the costume creator. If you are worried about him that much be there when he plays. He'll ask you questions and you'll see that look on his face as he blasts people. Win / Win if you ask me.

Current favorite of the moment... Plastic Heart from the John Wick 2 soundtrack

my son was 7 when he started during Live. I say go for it. There are profanity filters in game and should be good enough protection. Honestly, I'd make him his own account. That way when and if you do buy a second computer (even a 5 yr old comp can run this game) he'll be ready to roll and he and Dad can take down some baddies together.

Yes! All the content is there. I've been running it through with my SG on the weekends. Yes! here's the link, select which one you want to do. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Signature_Story_Arc Very much. You can solo or team. It's a mini-TF so you exemplar down to the highest level required for the mission.

It's fairly basic. Mostly because it's something that was ironed out in Live and has not changed much at all. Currently there's a lot of new questions with the powers that have been ported over to the class with the return of the game, that is what most people have been fixing on.

can't wait to see slotting for this. I've a lvl 40 EM/Rad Armor and am particularly interested in how to optimize him.

So Halloween in Croa only then?

Will Power is great with Energy Melee. It'll recovery your end very quickly. During Live I had a EM/WP that I took to 50. He wasn't my main so he got less attention, but he was fun to play.

Since base raids and prestige are not things anymore, can the limit be raised on how many members can be in one SG?

it is. it just needs to be turned on. I'm hoping for answer along the lines of "Earlier than October."

please post your builds so we can choose?

Will the Halloween event be coming early? Sorry / not sorry, it's my favorite one. Also I need the Salvage for the final costume slot.

unless he's trying to drum up business?

I'll be 46 in 2 months. I started out playing Diablo II, not a MMO but it sure was damn fun. From there I gravitated to CoH. I think it was just prior to Issue 2, back when they still had the Blue King Comic sub with your monthly. I loved everything about it. I'd spend hours in AP, adventuring, doing missions, even tried some PVP. My son was 7 when this game came out and he got hooked too but later drifted into other games and consoles. I took a 2 year break to try WOW with some friends, it was fun but I left it cold turkey in '09. I went back to CoH after that and played up until sunset. After CoH I tried DCUO (I had actually pre-ordered the game when it came out) It was meh. It gave the Superhero fix but it wasn't home. Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer Online, bunch of others. Earlier this year I tried DCUO again and the toxicity of that community made me uninstall the game and I haven't looked back. Then came Easter Weekend and CoH rises again. :) I'm here until they pry it from my cold dead hard drive.

Sometimes you get both.
