Murcielago

Only if you don't have the endurance recovery to support it. Also if you have enough recharge to keep it permanent there is no end penalty.

Roll an Elec/Shield Stalker. Its the most blaster melee out there

Fire/Energy was my go to character before Murcielago. His build was max recharge/damage, it was a kill or be killed playstyle. High stakes but high reward. Died a lot but it was fun.

That's not true, sometimes people just play characters for fun. If we all played for damage we'd be using Ill/Cold trollers and TW/Scab Armor Scrappers

Its never too early to become a dooms day prepper *puts on tinfoil hat*

I'm glad States is dead, I was getting tired of his holier-than-thou attitude like he was some kind of god or something.

The biggest issue with energy melee is that scrappers don't have it.

So anyone wanna help me download my characters and make a local private server just in case this deal goes belly up?

When were enhancement boosters added to the game?

I vote we should rename Bio armor to scab armor.

Incarnate enemies exist in the signature story arc. This could and should be proliferated into new content whenever that gets created. Just level shift everything to +10 and bam game is back to running almost dead fest.

At least take me out to dinner before you ask to see that, gosh.
