A few thoughts: -- Swap the sets for Ablative Carapace and Parasitic Aura. Try to find an extra slot to add to PA and put in a Theft of Essence proc. Now that will be a blue bar filler up every 90 seconds or so to go with your DNA Siphon every 30-40 seconds. -- I'd split the Superior Brute's Fury into 3 and 3. Probably in the Whirling Hands. -- Even in Offensive mode, you are probably going to be over slotted/powered in endurance reduction. -- I'd try to work in a Superior Winter's Bite in one of the ST attacks. These will cut your recharge by a bit, but will help with your melee defense quite a bit.

I stand corrected, thank you! I did not think that Running and Sprints would convert to Running, much like I wouldn't expect Damage Resistance to convert to Defense. I made an assumption that was inaccurate.

EXIT: this post is wrong. actually, no. That hasn’t changed at all. Quickfoot will always convert to Celerity by category, and Springfoot will always convert to Unbounded Leap by category. Soaring will convert by category to one of two rares, and Jaunt will convert by category to one of two rares. So you are always one conversion from a rare. The real pain in the rear is that there are now two new categories from 15-50 that only contain one set each. And frankly, those sets are pretty much garbage, so rare roulette got more annoying with an equal chance of getting a defense set (yay!) or a leaping set (are you kidding me?).

Hey dude, welcome back. Theme trumps all and there is very little that you can't play around with that will stop you from succeeding. That said, recently the devs added new "challenge" modes, so when joining teams it's useful to ask whether or not you are expected to be l33t or optimally built or what.

This is OP’s least offensive post I’ve seen, so either that’s personal progress, or the troll bot algorithm has gone chaotic. Either way, thumbs up!

You had me at your get rid of list (see above). I could not agree more.

Sometimes you need the slot. Sometimes I am drowning in +acc and if my last to hit is consistently 95%, then I'll take it out. But you make a valid point.

In many cases, Combat Jumping is the first defense power I take on a character. My standard build theory involves two slotting it early for the Shield Wall proc and the Kismet accuracy (both slottable at lvl 7). Later I will add either two slots (for a Reactive Defenses proc and a LotG proc) or one slot (remove the Kismet, add the Reactive Defenses and the lotG).

With the new Seismic Blast set, I was super happy to get Schist Storm for a Storm/Seismic defender on Everlasting. But I was even happier to see someone else took it on Excelsior, because no one wants to feel like they are alone with their great ideas.

I'm going to wait until towards the end of the event before I decide what to do. I'm already making inf hand over fist, but that's hardly the point any more.

Oil can.

Both regular content. It is possible that my dark armor guy (+3/x8) had two or more singularities on him, but the scrapper (+2/x3) definitely got knocked down through Grounded while grounded. Standing still doing nothing, singularity gets summoned, I get knocked down. I'm not complaining, mind you, but I missed this in the patch notes.

I've been looking at it from the other side -- opponents that have summoned it (Family Bosses, Longbow bosses). I've been bounced around through two KB IOs on my Dark Armor tank and through Grounded (9.1 protection, standing still and not in the air) on my Elec Armor scrapper.

Or Repelly, whatever. I've been noticing this a lot since the new issue dropped, but maybe it's because I'm playing different characters. I didn't see anything in the patch notes, or maybe I missed it.

Die Hard 2 is also a Christmas movie. Just sayin'.

Then don't open your Winter Packs, because Experienced (and therefore useless XP boosters) is in all three packs...

Holiday edition: The Goose is Getting Fat -- Get hit by 1000 presents thrown by Warwolves. I Got a Rock -- Open 10 consecutive presents and be judged Naughty each time.

I have lots of characters, lots of 50s, but only one has gotten significant post-50 play (something like 70 vet levels). I'm assuming that you are looking for something that you can play well past 50, mainly in team settings. Some thoughts: 1. Choose a style that you enjoy. Melee/ranged/support/whatever. If you love blasting, don't make a tank, even if you think it's "better" in the long run. 2. Choose animations you enjoy. You are going to be seeing a LOT of them. There are a bunch of powers that I just refuse to take because I hate the way they look. 3. Here's where it gets opinionated. Play solo and regular XP to your 30s. It's so easy to get to 50 in a few hours that lots of people will bow right past this. But to me, it's important to know your sets. Which work great at level 10 and are useless at 30? Here's also where you figure out which animations you like or hate. I don't recommend doing something like Posi 1, for example, until you are in your 30s because you can level a few times in there and you'll miss some of that learning experience. 4. If it gets boring, move on. I have a bunch of alts in their 40s that I've just stopped playing because they don't currently interest me. Sooner or later, I'll probably take them to 50, but as long as I have more interesting things to do, I'm gonna do those things first.

There never were amplifiers in Winter Packs, only Hero and Vig Packs:

At the risk of insulting myself, I think that this thread is a lot more accessible:

That's like a Tuesday from 6:00PM to 6:05PM.

Exactly. You can cause a lot more chaos by spending 1bn a day for 50 days than you can by setting 50bn of bids then walking away.

Liberty For All -- level up 49 times at the same trainer. Nemesis!!!!!!! -- stack Vengeance from Nemesis Lts seven times on the same mob, then defeat it.

I just sold you three at 100k. I'm not sure what the problem was.
