I'm not sure if you are referring to something else, but someone has been maintaining a pretty tight market on the proc for years. Bidding in the low 3s and offering at or near 4. It's super useful for all of us who want and need the procs to know there is reasonably priced supply available, and if you make them it's nice to know there is also a good bid out there for your product. It's marginally profitable, but I would guess it requires a lot of daily maintenance.

Invulnerability has much more upside in difficult situations. My “main” and first character on Live and here is BS/INV and although I don’t find a lot of synergy between the sets, he can handle it all.

I always go with Cleave. It's got a good proc rate, and if you are fighting three or more enemies it's practically guaranteed. You get enough time for the proc to be active on the next attack, and possibly the next two if you choose wisely. I also always skip Gash, even when levelling.

Try Mr. G (primal). You get him from Inside Information redside 30+ in Grandville, and Sweeps Week part 2 is your huckleberry.

It probably started in General and so the mods moved it to Archetypes. As they do. 😉

Hey! I don't criticize *your* love life!

I may or may not be a gem, but there is definitely some rock in or around my head. Hey newcomers, come get some inf!

Maybe all these new players need is a little start-up capital?

I'm with you. I hate those flip animations.

I don't like it for two reasons: 1. it's boring; and 2. I don't find that it holds up well in high end content.

On the offensive side, Ripper is probably the "best" place for the ATO. But I'd consider putting it in DNA siphon for this build.

/e drink: Females should no longer slide their legs across the ground when sipping. Emily Post approves. No one should slide their legs like an animal!

Battle Axe went from zero to hero with the revamp, which seems like the very definition of power creep to me. (I’d have been happier if they just brought it up to its peer, oh why won’t they stop power creep?) I think that they will indeed change more cones to AoEs. The mob has spoken; we’re getting a monorail!

You can make a real monster. I'm not a fan of Shield (I don't really like click mez protection, and I don't really like telenukes) but this is something I may look into:

Couple of initial thoughts. You are overslotted for LotG, insofar as you have of the LotG +recharge slotted six times and the game will only give you credit for five of those. I think you are overslotted for defense as well -- I think I see that you are trying to get as much typed defense as possible, but your melee defense (which is going to play the biggest role as a brute) is much higher than I would build for. You are also overbuilt for endurance recovery -- I don't think you need nearly that much, or even need all those powers. And there are a lot of things you should be working into the build. Things like Steadfast +def and Glad Armor +def (which give a total of +6 def to all) as well as Shield Wall +res and Steadfast Protection +res. Let me take a longer look. The problem with Willpower in my opinion (other than it's *yawn* BO-RING) is that you only get one reactive tool in Strength of Will so when things go sideways you don't have a lot of options. "Most survivable" will focus on a layered approach of defense, healing, resistance, and perhaps some other mitigation. From looking at your build, I'll try to keep things to basic set IOs (with a few PvPs thrown in).

You can go to your contacts list and “Find Contact”. At levels 5-9?!? the last selection will be David Wincott and you can teleport to him.

Then it should swap power sets on the attacked to regeneration.

I've already gotten bored with the Stone/Super Strength tanker, so I thought I'd take another shot at it. Seeing that I'm allowed to pick the favored of three rolls: Claws/Regeneration Stalker. Pass, the world needs another Wolverine/Sabretooth like I need another hole in my head. Dark/Water Defender. Slightly more interesting, and I could come up with a concept. Sonic/Earth Blaster. Ugh, blasters! And sonic is terrible and I've never even heard of Earth... Wait, didn't they add Earth Manipulation relatively recently? And didn't they upgrade Sonic relatively recently? And wait, don't you like stun? And you can double up Sleep?!? (I'm just kidding about liking that last part. I think.) Oh heck. (Name may change.)

For the most part, I don't play tanks at all, and my recent experience with Stone Armor has been with a Savage Melee/Stone scrapper (and it was a good build!) Based on what I'm seeing, I'm just adding Granite Armor as an "Oh hell!" button, although I'm probably better off spending that one spot on Taunt.

If I recall correctly, and I think I do, even though there is only a 10% stun chance in Force Bomb, you can still slot stun procs that will go off even if the stun does not activate. The Absolute Amazement proc comes first to mind. Razzle Dazzle immob is interesting, and I don't know if that activates before during or after the knockback is activated. And if you want to double down on knockback, hello Stupefy!

I went through Breakout and then set things to +2/x8. I'm five missions in.

Clearly if your pets die to fast, you need to feed them.

Wish granted!

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing that has a lot more to do with the people putting the team together than the people making up the team. I can imagine some teams (like a 4star or Master Of type team) would want to craft their team, but for the most part, we are all a bunch of rikti monkeys mashing buttons, and I suggest to you to be the type of monkey you want to be. Personally, I don't team much, but when I do I expect to solo it. Play what you want to play is my advice.
