And folks wonder why I think insps storage in email should be verboten... regardless, that's awesome.

And only you can decided where challenge crosses over into masochism.

As for getting HOs, the easiest way is to be rich and just buy 'em. I had a further analogy but should probably keep it to myself.

Dude... my solo max-diff no insps/temps ITF run on my sentinel took over three hours. An 80 minute solo MLTF is awesome! 🙂 Side note: update your sig line from time to time. I'd like to watch what happens when you ding 100000 vet lvls.

Yes. Not me with my builds, but others have done so. Hell, I probably could solo the MLTF with my shield/nrg tank if I dumped all my self-imposed rules and leaned on ultimate insps, warburg nukes, base buffs, etc, etc. Bet someone out there has figured out a solid way to dual/triple box it without breaking a sweat.

The problem with that though is that you don't get the toggles at lvl 1 and folks will raise bloody hell about losing the KB for X number of lvls.

I actually like this suggestion. Quite a bit really. Here's some thoughts that might stop it from happening. Cottage rule. Some folks like power push but moving the 100% KB to Burst might work to alleviate their concern. I would very much also prefer push's animation over burst's but whatever on that front. Edit: Well, wait... I'm not sure that a toggle can disable an effect like KB that's coded into a power. The KB->KD procs aren't removing KB, they're just adding a huge negative amount. However, just as a staff/bio scrapper ends up with 6 form toggles to choose from, that won't be a reason to block this. I would absolutely roll up an nrg/bio sent and run Plasmatic 100% of the time. Kinda sucks for defenders as they wouldn't get it until 28.

Posted them earlier in this very thread:

As said before, obviously you care, but so many of us don't. I have a TON of alts that have nothing but AE badges at 50 with fully IOed and T4ed builds because I haven't even bothered to get them their accolades and I'm currently looking at 8 transcendents in email and can easily make more for more alts. If I'm on one of those characters and someone reads my info, if they decide I'm 100% ignorant of the game because of it, that's definitely THEIR problem and not mine. Maybe you should just stop looking at other peoples' character info and judging them for it. Sounds like you'd probably enjoy the game more that way.

And all the pay to win cheats are bought with in-game, fake currency.

It's still sort of topic. Those with taunt auras are more badass than those without and shield should be nerfed. 🙂 And not sure what you mean. I have several new alts and need to purge a few others. The dark/stone scrapper is still trucking along, I have a new inv/nrg tank that will never take total focus or energy transfer, and I haven't deleted the new seismic/kin corruptor but I haven't played her her much either, so that doesn't bode well.

I don't know. Since taunt resistance exists in the game, I'd guess yes but I wouldn't put any money on that bet.

For proper fire farming, you want 90% damage resistance to fire and 45% defense to fire. My claws/fire brute is fine on the damres side but needs to eat a medium luck to be at the defense softcap. This is why I bind F1 to combine all medium insps into medium lucks. You also want to be at the damage cap which is impossible without inspirations. This is why I bind F2 to combine all medium insps to medium rages and F3 to do the same for small insps. You can also have the bind eat said insp when you combine. Folks aren't saying stay away from the T1-T3 incarnate powers, just that they don't matter because when you create a T2, it eats the T1, T3 eats T2 and T4 needs 2 T3s and eats them both.

Yea, the timing for HC's go-live turned out to be quite useful.

That was the other thing we determined. The older taunt settings are still in the power but if the redirect is listed, it overrides and uses the redirect. Or at least, that's *supposed* to be what happened. Yes, it's partly why I started a thread on the topic. All that stuff really needs to be cleaned up. I'm happy to do it if someone wants to grant me DB access but the danger there is that I'll give all scrappers taunt auras to make things balanced. The circled overrides the 2.25 mag 3 and becomes But it gets more wrong already.... most scrapper auras look like this: Which is what Scrapper Entropic Aura *SHOULD* be. Which implies that Scrapper EA was given the wrong taunt aura and it's actually *stronger* by 1 mag than it should be.

Good as place as any to ask this.... why do people call for sitters? Looking at the math, it seems a waste. Going off the chart, if a critter gives 100 xp, solo, I'll get 100 xp. With 1 teammate, it becomes 100*1.25/2 = 62.5 xp. 2 teammates, 100*1.5/3 = 50 xp. 3 teammates, 100*1.8/4 = 45 xp. 4, 100*2/5 = 40 xp. 5, 100*2.1/6 = 35 xp. 6, 100*2.2/7 = 31.43 xp 7, 100*2.5/8 = 31.25 xp. I can see adding another "hitter" to speed up the clear time, but I'm completely failing to see why anyone that wants to PL regularly doesn't have a 2nd account with a dedicated farmer for PLing alts on their primary account. Is there some social aspect to this that I'm missing?

Seconded.

I still hate it. Even last night, running a TF with a couple SG mates, I had just pulled everything to me with fold space when BOOM off everything goes flying. My initial reaction was cussing inside of my head but as you state it takes almost no time for the higher brain to kick in, shrug it off and move on.

No, the selling point is just how well it holds aggro. To the OP, be sure you go ageless radial for more DDR. Ice armor's low DDR is the primary reason I won't touch it. Or you can lean on hibernate.

Interesting. I still use Q and E for turning coupled with mouselook so I turn even faster.

I've seen Rom and Req both rabbit quite often even when I'm on a tank and punching them in the face.

Honestly, the only people I put on gignore are folks that let me know that they're racist or overly religious. I have never put anyone on gignore or kicked anyone from a team because of their playstyle or build. And I suspect... hell, I expect, that this is the prevailing MO amongst the vast majority of those that play this game.

You should. Mostly because: I see this thrown around the forums often and I think it's total BS. We are a % of the total population, yes, but by that very statement, it's likely we are all together a very accurate representation of the entire playerbase in our opinions.

The only thing SR has over SD is Quickness and its +20% recharge... which you can get from a couple day jobs or base buffs or different slotting.
