You can use Soul early in the game, like @Sakaisays. I have never found a use for Mind. I like staff best on Stalkers because if, *if* you die, you don't have to remember to turn the Body toggle on. So, no, you are not missing anything.

I do not take the T1 immobilize powers, except possibly in late game to try and stop AVs from running. I would love a compelling reason to take them, but low damage spread out over a long period of time means I'm wasting time and endurance with additional attacks trying to knock off my opponents before I immobilize them to death while they keep shooting at me. More damage? Front loaded damage? New immobilize sets? I dunno.

I first read this title as “lost 20lb” and I was thinking “Congrats! What’s your secret?” EDIT: I didn't mean to sound unsympathetic. That really sucks. You earn the coveted "Brutal, Juice" award:

Cash and equivalents: 203,970,084,062 as of last time I logged on each of my alts. That's subdivided as: 135 bids in the AH for 1bn apiece on items that currently do not exist in the game 20 emails for 999,999,999 a piece (will move these to bids at some point) 48,970,084,882 inf spread across 129 alts I'm not counting inventory, just straight cash, homie (h/t Randy Moss). EDIT: I know, I thought it would be higher too!

I've actually taken a little time to take stock of a few things, one of which is how much inf I actually have, how quickly I can extract it from the AH, etc. I figure at this point, there are very few things I'm not willing to be completely transparent about. So if you're curious about something, I'll tell you what I can (unless it's one of my two secrets...)

What it is.

It all comes back around. Case in point:

Yet the WOs are not. I'm still buying them at Winter Sale prices.

Almost certainly, but it's on my laptop and maximized: May I suggest adding sliders to all five pool powers on the third column on the left?

Great work everyone! The latest version fixed the slider issues for primaries and secondaries, but I still can only access the first two powers in ancillary/patron pools. No slider shows up there. I've tried changing column number but that only affects the right side of the interface.

Update: # characters: 129 # 50s: 18 # 1s (name holders): 10 mean level: 25.1

I'm still buying WOs well under 10mm, so, um, keep it up!

This isn't going to help a Storm/Elec defender, but I've found that any power that takes Accurate Healing IOs benefits from the Theft of Essence proc.

I need to get a KM to incarnate to really judge, but from my experience so far: I play with the sound off, because listening to the same sound thousands of times get old. Unless it's the first few notes of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" which is pure gold for eternity. I'd love it if *every* sound had a bunch of variants and got randomly assigned each time, but that's a nutso wish. I understand that the slow animations are to compensate for the higher damage, but the animations are so *needlessly* long. Take any of the spin animations for staff, for example. They take a long time, but they are justifiable because, well, you are spinning and that needfully takes time. Sky Splitter, in contrast, has no real purpose to be so long except to dampen down the DPA. I feel like the entire KM set has needlessly long animations. I personally would prefer shorter animations and lower damage for the same DPA. Maybe more later this week as I level some alts higher.

I'd be very surprised if a tank was rejected from an endgame group for being a tank v. a brute or a scrapper. In fact, the only real distinction if I were making a team is that I'd want to know if the tank wanted to take point and/or used taunt. And if not, no big deal. I've tanked with MMs and corruptors when the tanker on the team didn't want to take point. By 50, and especially with incarnates, I don't see a lot of difference in ATs. Just about any well built melee character can plow through +4/x8 solo, IMO, so as far as I'm concerned, I just want my teammates to be good company. Or Rikti monkeys. They are fun.

It's the lyrics from the beginning of "Ice, Ice Baby"...

Stop, collaborate, and listen.

I just made a villain named Ignorance of the Law, and it felt appropriate to make her a Savage Melee/Willpower brute. I'm having a more difficult time coming up with an AT and power sets for my other new villain, Extended Warranty (sadly Extended Vehicle Warranty is too long...). Obviously a robot of some sort.

I have a handful of alts that run variations on this. I wanted to see how easy it was to get OMG LEET builds (answer: easy) without using all the tools that HC has provided. I documented a bit of a "no buy" build a while back, but got bored (more with the build than the concept) once proof of concept was established:

I spent December mostly giving funds away. I'm really hoping that the devs will read the whole economy thread and put in a large-scale inf sink, but I'm not optimistic. Instead we will get more tricks like whoever either bought or took off offer over 1k lotg proc today. I prefer my market shenanigans to be less quixotic. At this point, making inf is just muscle memory or providing supply in under-supplied markets. I don't think I'm anywhere near a trillion, and I don't expect to get there in calendar 2021.

Any official word on this? @Faultline?

I can confirm that I just bought a pack at 10mm but did not buy a pack at 9.999mm. I don't know if that's because they didn't change the seeded price or if people are offering previously purchased packs at 10mm.

I will say, this is inspiring me to set a much smaller goal. I am currently on a rad/bio brute that I'm enjoying playing post-50. I think I would eventually like to accomplish all lvl 50 redside missions on him at max, and although I dislike the Ouro interface, it does give me a convenient check-off list. If I can keep my attention on that, then *maybe* I could *consider* something more comprehensive, but I suspect that OP has a lot more sticktoitiveness than I do.w

I have the same problem, and I cannot access any epic powers other than the first two. I'm trying this at full screen.
