Just wait until I27:7 when tankers get Trick Arrow as an epic pool.

Over the years, I have seen a lot of posts about "Should I make an X/Y character as AT1 or AT2?" And sure, you can make a poll or search out past posts on the AT1 and AT2 forums, but now that we have new reactions, why not keep it in one thread? Let me start by asking: Would you rather mostly solo level to 50 (ideally +4/x8 by 50, but whatever you want to handle -- I'm not sure I can handle +4/x8 on non-melee characters!): Defender Trick Arrow/DP (if so, please react "ramen") Corruptor DP/Trick Arrow (if so, please react "television") Blaster DP/Tactical Arrow (if so, please react "satellite") ? If you wish to give your reasoning please do, but it's not necessary. And I know, I know, of course "it depends" but I'm asking you, yes you, which one you would choose. And, of course, if you have a similar question, please ask it and set your reaction choices! Happy hunting!

You should use a domingator to play instead.

If it makes you feel any better, we already find you revolting.

I don’t have my glasses with me; is that an axe or a mace?

At this point in time, I'm using Domingator as "I agree" and Accordion as "Sad Trombone," and I look forward to finding more personal meaning in each of them.

This is all true, but also keep in mind that "logical" does not necessarily mean "profit maximizing" or even "profitable".

Domingator approves.

Domingator approves.

Did somebody say "real money"?

You know, I'm starting to get a little tired of youngsters running across something for the first time and thinking they invented it. I've known Bulgaria since before you were born! I used to watch Bulgar the Bulgarian on Saturday morning cartoons. I knew the Sofia King when he was just a prince! You kids get off my lawn!!!

Should be a 12.82% chance per pulse per enemy. I'm not sure how often Hot Feet pulses (I assume 10 seconds like most damage auras, but I really don't know), but I clearly see mobs getting knocked down, just not reliably.

In my experience (mostly melee), 85% is plenty but I wouldn't say no to 100%. Keep in mind that debuff resistance stops that amount of the effect from any given foe. 100% means that you never get slowed. That's cool. But 85% means only 15% of the debuff gets through. If you are fighting an Agony Mage and she hits you with Gravity Distortion, instead of -50% speed reduction it's now a 7.5% speed reduction for 12 seconds. If you are fighting three Agony Mages, then it is possible that all three get a -7.5% debuff on you at the same time for a 22.5% reduction, but again that's only for 12 seconds and that is if all three hit you at exactly the same time. The problem with debuff resistance is when you are fighting groups that toss out tons of a specific debuff. Every KoA minion can throw Caltrops, it's a base 80% speed reduction for 45 seconds. So if you are planning on fighting KoA all the time, definitely shoot for 100%. This comes into play with Cimerorans and defense debuff as well (and those damned Scrub Bots) of course.

No no no god no no. I don't know about you OKman, but if you log on a character on some shards, there are some people who will *instantly* hound you to join whatever you are doing. I don't want to have to hide because I am breathing and at or above a certain level.

This is exactly right. A split stack will show up in both selling and sold as 1; or in both buying and bought as 1. Total number of slots available top out at 200, and how to get there is listed in the wiki somewhere. "Full" is based on the number of market slots you have on that character, not the highest number of potential slots.

This whole post is good, but I highlight this for emphasis. Anything not sold at a fixed price by a vendor was posted by a fellow player. The bottleneck for many of the items you are looking for is supply. I've watched over the years as many marketers, myself included, dropped out of the supply game for various reasons. The bid-offer gap is huge and unless people want to provide supply either for profit or for some personal goal of doing good things for the market (whoever has been providing Perf Shifter procs for the past few years at essentially break even levels, I tip my hat to you), this is only going to get worse and worse until one day people just stop using the /AH entirely. Death by ice.

Could you give me some examples of how markets are being manipulated right now?

This bind (I use a macro and usually make it 10 feet) is gold for cone heavy power sets. Also keep in mind that range enhancement effects do not reduce proc chances. And well done on this guide! nice material, girl!

Axe went from an afterthought to top three power set with one fell swoop of power creep leap. Pair it with something that benefits from recharge and that provides endurance mitigation. But frankly, it'll work with anything now, although it will take some skill and planning for BA/DA to shine, endurance-wise.

In my experience, a mixture of dark and cold/ice in just about any AT is pretty optimal.

I don't agree with this overall statement, but I would suggest playing through more than once and playing a very survivable melee character first time through. Any level 50 can easily solo a mission or two and generate several million in inf from drops in a few minutes, while a level 1 will probably have a difficult time completely self-funding through missions.

Sometimes, I'll make a character and progress their costume as they progress in levels, usually every 10. I did that with Thor Loser, and I have no regrets.

All due respect to those who have their builds planned out from level 1, but I really don’t have the attention span to

Would you say it was Sovera close?

Who are you again? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you post in General before.
