<waves to all> I haven't played in a while but when I did, I really enjoyed the Ice/Poison build that was linked here (I'm 99% sure it's the same one I have on live as I don't really respec a whole lot). I had no issues with all toggles running and staying alive (jump into the [middle of the] group and go to town). Things were locked down and not hitting me at all; like you mentioned OP, the dmg is horrible, of course, but I don't die*. And, yes, this was at +4/x8. Mobs are either held, getting KB'd up/down, confused, and obviously debuffed so much they can't touch me. Again, haven't played in a while but now you have me wanting to play just to experience the toon again. XD Edit: I think for dmg powers I really only had 3. ST hold, vet staff power, and my pet (which is obviously not great)....oh and the T4 Judgement power. So yeah, mobs can't kill me but it does take me "forever" to kill them (if +4 obviously). XD *of course, you'd get the occasional course of bad luck that can always happen

As others have said already, the secondary effects are not great; especially in the high/end game content. Elec. Blast always looked weak, dmg wise, compared to others but I haven't really played it myself too much so I can't speak to it personally. I'm just echoing what others have said already. :)

Thanks for this! Curious though if the Valentine's events/missions will be available during the last week or did you mean just the Winter/Christmas events? (somehow I didn't get all the Valentine's badges this past Feb.! :()

There is a reason, if you wanted whip attacks, the only way you get them is with the Demon Summoning power set. Petless Demon Summoning and you get to have whip attacks.

Ninja/TA MM would probably be the worst to play with for sure...if not, definitely in the top 5. I did a Ninja/Dark MM back on live and it worked but was still painful. Another painful combo would be, and is, TA/A Defender. I had one on live and solo'ing was painful! :( Soooo slow...granted, on teams he was okay (had more primary powers than attacks) but yeah...just bad...

Yeah was working on getting my 2nd acct's toon to have Karsis unlocked last night, on the last mission when I went to bed. Right now would be a perfect time for me as I have an all-hands company meeting for ~2 hours...so plenty of time to play but the servers are down. :(

Maybe have Recall Friend and Teleport Foe the same power; name it something different possibly but allow it to tp both friends and enemies alike. That will free up a 'slot' for an attack type of power in the Teleport pool. Also, somehow make this recall friend/tp foe power able to teleport pets (escort/rescue missions) so that you don't need to use the walk temp power to make sure you don't lose the escort (roll eyes), or worry about having the escort get stuck on a wall/ceiling. The Presence, Medicine (along w/Teleport obviously) power pools need help too as others have already given suggestions.

Once I get all the badges [again; had all on live], I don't badge or collect 'em on any other toons. I play other toons or do whatever...

There's no mini-map graphic/pic of the bomb locations is there? I know when solo'ing this I couldn't find all bombs before AV died so now running through this arc and got to this mission again with a diff. character... I figured when I did it the first time I had the mission set to -1x0 and no AVs/etc...so though that Penny died fast because of that...so this time I set the mission to AVs, +1, etc...but still can't find all 5 bombs. I had to quit to desktop before AV died. Grr.. Can find 4 bombs but the 5th one is elusive; even having a key bound to search/target "Bomb" doesn't help...is there a way to target only 'active' (non-clicked on) bombs? Does the targetcustomnextalive Bomb work? hmm

Thanks for the confirmation...you indeed have to have the tip mission to do his arcs....booo on that I say. :|

Yeah, I've done all of his arcs through Ouro before (starting at the beginning of course) but now I realized I missed a few badges so I was trying to go through them again. I can't seem to get an actual mission if I start with the 2nd arc...so maybe I have to re-do the first story arc?

Hello all, So I've done all of Mr. G's story arcs and noticed I missed some badges so I am trying to re-do them now; however, I'm running into an issue. I'm trying to do the 2nd story arc from him (Sweeps Week) through Ouroboros but after I select the "Accept settings" option, it acts like I'm in the SF like a normal Ouro arc and the Ouro crystal option is there to "teleport to contact". I click that but there's no contact and there's no mission for me to do....I've tried logging out and back in, dropping the TF/SF and then accepting it again but to no avail. Thoughts? Do I need to do the first story arc (Criminals of War) first; even though it's in Ouro?

Awesome info...I got afraid I did something wrong when I got into the 2nd mission and the radio didn't work for me! *whew* I chose Lorenz as my helper as Vince doesn't show up at all in the zone. I took an Ouro story arc that he gives and "teleport to contact" and I get zoned to Sharkhead but there is no Vince anywhere.... Edited: Okay, so it looks like you HAVE to talk to the secondary contact first BEFORE you enter the mission(s). I got to the 3rd mission and the radio didn't work. I quit the TF and restarted and then talked to Lorenz before I entered the 3rd mission and the radio worked.

I like the enhancement upgrade feature; however, like others have said, I will never use it as I always just pl a new toon/alt of mine up to at least lvl 22 or 27 for lvl 25 or 30 common IOs. I never buy TO/DO/SOs and almost never use any of them (with the rare case where I have green SOs and don't feel like making common IOs, I'll slot the SO in until I stop being lazy). I'd like to see it expanded in a way so that when you want to boost multiple IOs, you can say "boot this IO with these 5 boosters" or a "use these 6 catalysts to combine them with the 6 IOs in this power" type of thing. Baby steps. :)

Cool, thanks for the info! :D
