Imma /sign this too. Would be very useful when I decide to get rid of a 50, but not their IOs.

None as far as comic books, or books, or movies or anything. When I first started playing years ago, a lot of my characters were influenced by mythological and religious figures. I did have one or two movie based ones, Father Kane from Poltergeist II and Thunder from Big Trouble in Little China, but those were exceptions. Not I think any that are influenced are fairly rare, I mostly just kind of do my own thing and more make characters that resemble archetypal things (a vampire, energy being contained by a suit, bug who got superpowers). Mostly, I did make a trio of Gorgons just because I liked the idea.

I give it a check every year or so to see if it's still going. I'm surprised every time when it still is.

Yeah, I think Sents are okay as an AT. They just don't fit ME, or I don't fit the AT well either way. After getting a Beam/Fire to 50, incarnates, IO'ing them out and all that, I was just left with the feeling that I could have gotten that survivability and more damage as another AT.

There's an ARPG called Grim Dawn, and one of the pieces of armor I remember coming across was something like Soiled Pants. And it did give you a power to fling poop, which did poison damage.

Cyclops, Havok, Storm, Bullseye, Punisher to an extent come to mind. But as you said, they also blapp really well too. Other comic characters forget that, often to a fatal degree.

I have both, and honestly would not suggest the Beam Sentinel. The damage is really lackluster, although the Refracting Beam is pretty nice at least. If I had to pick, my favorites out of my Beamers is probably Blaster and Corruptor. I tried, and maybe other Sents are better, but I really do not like the class much.

Almost done with my third and fourth runs of co-op Divinity Original Sin 2 on the tougher difficulties. I also have a save game going in both Fire Emblem Three Houses, and Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark when I get the itch. Looking for something new actually, or some of the early access stuff like Raft to update.

I plan on making one maybe tonight. Looking at Beam/Atomic maybe. It's been a while since I had short range blaster that wasn't an aoe machine.

Sure. I mean, the thing about ranged attacks is they still work in melee. With the exception of maybe cones, which work but with different considerations for arc and range.

Blappers still exist, even if defiance doesn't. I think they're a fair bit easier to build now with IO options and power diversification. But yeah, I remember this. I even remember the running joke, "Floor wax contains steroids. It's where blasters get their powers from."

I'd definitely be up for a Beam Team run. Before I took a hiatus there was an all plant group joining up too, which I'm sorry as hell to have missed.

Just uh, let me know when you start firing so I can move first.

Yeah, I expect it will go down. I've been scarcely around for the past few weeks, there's just a lot of new stuff to play that I've really been itching for (currently Bloodstained: RotN, Fire Emblem Three Houses, and Archeage: UC). But CoH is comfort food honestly. I might try out new restaurants from time to time, but I'll always head back to CoH when I'm done.

Always Titan/Bio scrapper with envenomed dagger, and my personal preference of Water Spout epic (double -res procs).

I'd sure like to, just not sure if this week will really be possible for me. My kids have a tournament this weekend and I have a lot of family coming in right before that. If I miss this, and it's likely, I'll catch up the next time around.

Aww shucks. Thanks Healix.

I really like this idea. After I get the kids and pets fed I may have to take you up on this. Damned fine way to take a setback and make into something awesome!

This, very very much. Took me a long time to get there, and stop feeding the need to be right. But it's worth it to me, every struggle along the way, to be able to help and show just basic kindness.

One of the best TFs in my opinion. Love the optionals, love the AV fights as well.

Hey thanks Heraclea. I got busy and completely forgot to look at it to see. I've not really used the self version yet on any of my toons.

Awesome. I love the idea of theme teams, and didn't do much with them on live.

Plus you really need to separate resistance and defense caps, they are two different things. Defense cap is 45 normal and 50 something incarnate, which just means above that you get pretty much no return in practice unless you are debuffed, because the enemies to-hit is at the lowest level it can be. Resistance caps depend on your AT, and are more hard caps, because even if you have 95% it's going to be capped at whatever your class cap is to begin with. So defense caps are soft and at 45/50something, resistance caps I would call hard caps and depend on ATs.

I have a Plant/Dark on Excelsior and would definitely be up for this. If we are talking existing characters, I'm not 100% sure I want to make another plant since this is my 3rd or so since HC.

So having played elec blasters, controllers, and others I think some of these points are very valid. However, you can get enemies to zero endurance and you can keep them there, although it's not always easy with a single elec. So I would not say people should not play it, I would instead say people should not play elec sets expecting to keep all enemies end drained very quickly and permanently by themselves. Voltaic is definitely trash though 🙂
