Also, I think that (in most cases) there is a very minor difference between minions and lts, but then a huge step up to bosses. Could we have a setting where lts maybe double their hp and damage? Just a thought.

I wholeheartedly agree. There are 3-5 skippable powers in this set, and I'd love to see a more balanced workout.

I read the topic. I've played a few hundred hours of kinetics as well, as have tens of thousands of people. You are being a whiny child who wants his own personal gold star. I am genuinely sorry if your hundreds of hours of kinetics were so difficult that you feel a need to make it easier now. I am constructively saying, nope. Don't make the best support better. Let's see who the devs cater to first, shall we?

Nope. Don't make the best support set better. Sorry if playing it as is is too burdensome for you.

The devs should do whatever the hell they want to do.

I’m proposing spending 2bn (which then goes out of circulation, poof!) for 1/50th progress on a badge, so I am pretty sure I am using the term right! I do think that we have too much influence in the system, but it hasn’t proven a problem up to this point.

WITCHES!

Then why does that darned tornado do its own thing?!?

I realize this is a “first-world problem” in a lot of ways, but I’d love it if there were some large scale influence sinks in the game. Nothing that would affect the average gamer. Prestige used to serve this purpose, but I understand why that went the way of the dodo. Maybe a badge? I for one would welcome a “Dr. Evil” badge for one hundred BILLION inf. Or a trillion? Any other ideas?

This would be a non-starter for me since I wouldn’t be able to rationalize shooting arrows through constant high winds!

I agree with this entirely. The build would not be great on teams though, since your pace would be slower than most.

Mind/ is great, but I don't think of it as a team controllery build. Lots of sleep and confuse, which doesn't often go hand in hand with the steamroll zerg nature of teams nowadays.

Personally, I'm mostly out of the market. At this point I just do it as a habit or to create supply when I see a need. My carefully planned winter-o and purple marketers sit on huge supply, since when I have an alt who needs them, I just pick them up from the market rather than go through the hassle of emailing them. I'd suggest just buying converters when you need them for whatever character you need them for. I try to keep 500-1000 converters on every character, and put in bids with spare slots when I log. I mean, worst case scenario, you need 1000 converters right now, you can probably buy them instantly for 100k. If you need 1000 converters right now, you can probably stomach the 20k/converter price for buy-it-now. If you can't, that's when you dip into your merit supply! I highly doubt that email is safe for the long term, but I have a lot stored in there right now. I have a few bank mules, but even so...

You can also run it at +4/x8 and it’s still quick but not as boring since you get a few good fights in. Takes me about 20-25 minutes that way and you pick up lots of threads to boot.

Play lefty.

Yeah, for what it's worth, I'm with this opinion. If you are soloing or it's your team? Have at it. You do you. When you put on your "teaming" hat you need to be a teammate. I don't think it's a reasonable presumption that everyone else in the league should already have disabled this or should take 5 minutes to go to Null because you don't want to have to resummon your robots occasionally. If I were playing a melee character and got taken out of range because you came too close to me and made me fly? I'd be miffed too. If I were the only one on the team with an issue, I'd probably figure out a way to coexist. If there were 2-3 others who were also having a poor play experience? I absolutely would have turned off group fly. But I'm Lawful Good, yo; greatest good for the greatest number of people. Just my opinion.

Was your group fly only affecting yourself and your bots, or was it also affecting other players?

Thanks for this; I would have found this arc eventually but this got me here more quickly. It's very entertaining!

Wow, great job!

War mace/battle axe (they are essentially the same power sets, except one is smashing damage and the other is lethal).

Every building is a Chase bank, a Verizon Wireless store, or is empty.

Yeah, I made an error. I thought Energy Aura was the one with -endurance resistance. Elec Armor it is!

I recently made 50 on mine and it's great at 50. I'm running around without an alpha doing content like Malta and Carnival at +3/+4 and having a grand old time! Not fully IOed out yet (no purples, ATOs or winter os) but relatively nicely put together. Soft capped at melee and ranged defense, close at AoE. Resistance for s/l mid 60s, low 20s in just about everything else. I even added Aid Self for a heal, which kind of felt necessary. My only issue is that lethal damage really feels inferior to smashing, so I feel like a war mace would be outperforming. Running Malta content, for example, on a WM/WP brute or a WM/DA scrapper feels a lot faster.

For Carnival of Shadows, I'll go with WA/Energy Aura brute.

I was just thinking about this very thing this morning. For Malta I'm going to say WM/WP brute.
