Bill Z Bubba

Because a whole lot of people misconstrued Assault sets to be equivalent to blast/melee sets. Granted, I can see why. A controller is control/buff-debuff. A defender is buff-debuff/blast. A scrapper is melee/armor. So a combo that is control/melee-blast could easily be seen as something that should at least be doing defender/tank level damage with their secondary. Course, tanks just got buffed WAY above where they should be, so I'm not at all surprised for calls to buff dom damage.

He really is. Now if there was only some way to automatically update my download of his spreadsheet any time he updates it....

Looks like I can run Disintegrate, Lancer Shot, Charged Shot, repeat without much effort. Unsure if throwing in Overcharge when it's up will improve overall DPS. I would just go test this on beta but I needed another sentinel anyway.

Point of order: When has this ever stopped us before?

@Sir MyshkinThat gif is making me giggle maniacally.

This. Not a one of us could pull this off with all incarnates unslotted. Why, yes, that IS a challenge.

Sometimes it needs to be said. Damn the consequences.

SR/Claws for overall utility. But my bias was set a looooong time ago.

Had to go through 10 or so pages to find a beam/bio thread and I'm very confused by that. Mine just hit 34 with a badly slapped together build using junk I had in the base and I'm already cruising at +4/x5. Am I wrong in thinking beam is to blast sets as titan is to melee sets?

Yall make me so glad I only played on Pinnacle. Yea, we had a few bad seeds but overall we were all just too damn drunk to give a shit. Edit: Hmmm, I'm still pretty too damn drunk. The more things change....

It was an improved (sort of) normal build. Really just swapped out +Acc for +Nrg/Neg damres. But thanks.

Re: The beam/bio sent... lvl 33, slotted up with garbage I had in my base, started at +2/x2, 2nd mish was +3/x2, then +4/x2 (this is when I started using insps) and about to bump to +4/x3. As I said in channel, it appears that beam is to blast as titan is to melee. On the plus side, having a LOT more fun than I did with my beam/storm cor attempt.

General is removed completely. LFG and Help are on their own tab that I'll occasionally look at if I feel like pugging. I pretty much only read the Pinnacle badges channel and my parent SG's channel. I have yet to have toxic behavior directed at me in game. Here on the forums? Once or twice but overall? I hang out on the forums because the vast majority of those I converse with are anything but toxic. Which... of course, may mean that I'm the toxic one.

And the really funny part? He's weak compared to many of the other freaks in this thread.

As with all the changes over time, those of us that dig doing so will be back on the pylons, testing, tweaking, rolling with whatever comes down the pipe. I wish I could remember what the time was for my very first solo pylon kill.

Oh, I bet you've got a pretty good idea.

Not sure I grok the difference but regardless I've got a new beam/bio sent I'm going to set my sights on for the next round of ludicrous behavior.

Didn't some emp/beam defender pull it off? At this point, I'm half-ass expecting some mastermind to do it now.

I am impressed and proven very wrong. Well done.

I'm goin with Heisenberg. They play it until they learn it sucks.

But is it? Really? "I only feel useful in the early game." Is that really cool? I don't see it that way.

May want to ponder that more. How are SO builds under ED going to perform even with the existing incarnate abilities? No more softcapped defense for most combos. No more shoring up resistance. No more permahasten. It would be a VERY different game.

You don't know what kind of lover he might be. oh wait... ew.

Yea, been lookin at that. Went Kat/Inv for the same reason.

Also, damnit. I have a new claws/wp scrapper. Belinda Blender. Street hunted in Atlas to lvl 6 and now I'm in the Hollows runnin Wilcott's missions.
