Should have the info you seek.

There's a general chat in this game?

I should... but there's just something about WW that makes me want to slot it for MORE KB.

This. Now that I keep all my squishies fully stocked with defense amplifiers for mez protection, my inf stores have to be rebuilt on the regular.

I've got one speedster with whirlwind. I use it as an attack instead of a toggle. Toggleon, send the spawn flyin, toggleoff, shadow maul, flurry, sands of mu, sprint on all the time, extra run speed from IOs. I don't play her much, but she is amusing.

That sounds right. Gut-wise... don't trust my memory at all though.

That's what matters. I have fun with my fire/bio sent and he has absolutely no control or debuffs. Just damage.

Ahh, but my mace/bio scrapper is a completely normal human mechanic who just happened upon a magic wrench that grants her abilities. Sooo, magic origin.

It's akin to having a job where you were hired to do X, you do X well and you get paid for it, but then they hand you Y's duties on top of yours without bumping your pay. Or even doubling your workload but not allowing for any overtime for it. At the very least, it's rude. And almost always bad for employee retention.

My bad, man. That statement was specifically in regards to the rezzes. (Two posts before mine.) Can't use them without faceplanting first.

And stated in this thread it's not something I do normally because there's no added benefit to doing so. As Mal said, I do the job and get paid. Sure. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Changing things up to make them more interesting doesn't mean they have to be more difficult. How so? Defeating a +1 minion grants more XP/Inf than a +0. Defeating 10 enemies in 10 seconds instead of 1 enemy in 10 seconds increases your drop rates/sec. That's not fallacious at all. It's exactly how the game works.

Is there really no different to you between self-gimping and utilizing built in difficulty choices?

Goes back to the self-gimping line of thought. I ran the Werner rules ITFs for no more reason but to be added to the list of those that managed it. But ask me to follow those rules for a random run and I'll laugh at you and go find another group. Edit: Unless the rewards for that were increased, of course.

I sell all non-top tier salvage at my base vendor. Same goes for almost all non purple/pvp recipes. The rest gets dumped on the market for 111 inf because I know I'll get the top bid for it. That's enough for me. Cuz I'm always *just* rich enough to fully kit out another alt at market prices.

I don't know. Kat's ST damage *should* be better than TW's but I've zero clue if that's true.

I dunno. From my experience, Kat's ST damage is vastly superior to DB's, and I fight a lotta AVs. Plus Kat is just plain more freakishly crunchy and brutal. Hell, now I'm pondering a kat/bio scrap.

I don't like faceplanting. I fully grok why other people don't care, it's a badge, debt is gone in an instant, etc. I just find that getting knocked out means I didn't build correctly. Taking a power that relies on me getting defeated simply doesn't work for me.

Go for the defense side instead. Rocks are very good at resisting incoming damage. They kinda suck at dodging.

But the feature as it exists does not grant improved rewards for the greater difficulty which does not follow the standard MO of this game and needs to be changed.

Lose all the movement penalties on rooted and I'm in. Make it like grounded from elec where you still have to be on the ground for it to function fully.

And what's doubly amusing ... ever see a landslide? A lava flow? Earth can haul ass under the right conditions.

It's not just SR. I don't take any T9 that crashes my ability to kill things.

You just like to hear them scream. Wait, that might be me. On topic, I have an MA/Granite brute because kicks to the head while in granite armor is hilarious. It's also ridiculous. I can do an eagle's claw but I can't hop over a curb. It needs a complete rework and a lowfx option for granite that doesn't stick you in a completely different costume.

Well now I'm seriously confused. I get paid for the joy of slaughtering enemies. That's BETTER than free!

I'm pretty sure Bill, Beel and Bael Z Bubba don't care that there's three of me running around on Excelsior. It's the untouched and unloved first BZB on Torchbearer that I feel bad for. Not to mention the 100% untouched name grabbers on the other 3 servers.
