Clave Dark 5

Neither of which are true! I mean, on a high level team, no one is not a fifth wheel, and you don't need a tank to take the alpha.

You mean for helping out with the Def or the End use? I'm not so familiar with what the Incarnates do off the top of my head. Also, Doom, that's a good suggestion, I keep forgetting about those. I was thinking my build might end up with Arcane Bolt in it too, but wow, talk about a slow wind-up, that makes Hurl look much faster (and cooler). I do wonder how the numbers compare though.

Blaster. The very first toon I rolled, AT chosen based upon a friend's recommendation. So a glass canon at low level when they're all glass and no canon. And I'm trying to solo missions in the Hollows, crossing on foot. It's amazing that I kept playing.

Huh, I thought I had tried that, but I'll give ti another go. That's how I was at first populating my list of chosen powers, sort of, is there another way to do that? Really, why ahsn't someone written a simple guide on this already, ha ha? Or have I just missed it?

OK, so I've given in and finally downloaded it, great, runs fine, started working on a build and then after assigning power sup to 5-0 changed my mind of one, oops. How the heck do I remove it from the build and sub in another? I saw there's the trick to removing a slot with a shift+left click... are there other non-intuitive tricks like this I need to know? I can figure out most of what I'm seeing but this is just...

Thanks all! Because I had been thinking about "how cool" Boulder would be, I took it anyway, and I can see the damage is a bit wanting. The range is also a bit disappointing (I mean, it can't be easy to hurl a huge boulder, right? But still). I know this character's got a respec in her future, so I guess I'll drop it at that time. Another question: how should I be slotting Tough and Weave? I put a End reducer in each one but I still seem to chew through my End, even after slotting the usual Perf Shifter combo and another generic End Mod. Do they need more End Mod slotting, some slotting to enhance the defense they offer?

So I'm still struggling with a build for my Mind/Poison/Stone, and even after skipping a fair number of the Mind and Poison powers, my choices are tight and I won't be able to take too many Stone Mastery powers. But which ones to skip? In a thread elsewhere, the possibilities of proc monstering Stone centered on Hurl Boulder, Fissure, and Seismic Smash. Can't really fit 'em all*, so which one of those to leave out? I've never had Stone before, but my gut was telling me Fissure would probably be least essential of the two. But also, one reason I'm so tight on choices was so I could get the usual Boxing/Tough/Weave and then Maneuvers/Tactics combos to help out my defense. Would I perhaps be better to pick up Stone's Rock Armor instead? (How I wish Tomax was still around!) And how about Earth's Embrace, a self-heal might go a long way on a 'Troller. *I'll admit I took Telekinesis, which is junk these days, yes, but has still really helped save my bacon once or twice. Maybe I can drop that and Tactics to free up two slots at best; three if I also drop Stealth, but it sort of fits the theme here and doing so would sting.

"Unnecessary" is indeed what I was pointing to with my post. You don't have to appreciate anything, I was just hoping to point out it pays to play nicer.

It's a quite good thing for all MMs, far as I know. Two of my five 50s are MMs, can't wait til this goes live.

You sure? I never heard anything about them back in the day that I can revall, not like that.

I think that's been suggested before, but obviously nothing's come of it. Yet.

I knew of that one but they fixed it before I got a chance to use it. There was also one that made a character's (I think) left hand similarly invisible, something to do with choosing "beast" gloves option. That only lasted about five days, which gave me a chance to make a Dual Pistol character with only one hand, so his other pistol floated in the air when he used it.

I think it was only like three times? but yeah, I loved that. I generated a quick AE mission with a map full of nothing but drones (oops! all drones!) to fully enjoy it. I think it only lasted like two weeks before they fixed it and, because AWE was still fairly new and people used to run story missions (you know, back before the dialogue bug broke them), I got about 32 plays out of it.

I think characterizing the initial post was a freak-out is a bit disingenuous, if not unkind. It probably helps that I can understand where they're coming from - I play on Indom and often at very late/early hours; teaming at that point is pretty tough. There are a number of ways to address that, and making a suggestion to merge servers was one of them.

Yeah, that's dumb, why waste breath when you're already steamrolling?

Sigh, I already miss the winter stuffs.

Oh hey, I should make some new costume slots then!

I don't even remember who that is or where!

Question for people running a /Poison troller: I only just got it at 35 and haven't had a chance to play and test it much, so... when I drop one somewhere and no unfortunate mob walks over it, how long does it last? Will it just sit on the map "forever", or does it dissipate after like 3 minutes or what? Follow up cheesy question: anyone got a build for a proc-monstered Mind/Poison/Stone troller? :) I still haven't settled on one for this toon, but after considering my options well enough, I kind of get the feeling that most combos I might try for here are all going to be perfectly acceptable.

I was getting tired of having to chase after them to prevent them from faceplanting every spawn. >:( I'm just kidding. Any player who tells you how you should be playing instead of making suggestions to help you play is just bad. And if you're an Emp, chasing and babysitting is a big part of your job (I have a 50 Emp in fact).

I was surprised to see that one pop up myself a few days ago, what sets that one off again? MSRs set off the Rikti invasions right?

Probably real enough when you look at it, but mercurial if checked over time. I know I side switch at the drop of a hat, depending on where I can find teams.

There's a sucker born every minute, fella say.

I've no idea why, but every time I've ever played that TF, it's always been run by exactly that sort of (pardon the language) "farmer bro" player who takes off as if expecting everyone knows the mission maps as well as they do, and won't even offer advice nor answer questions in any depth when asked, "follow me, stay away from the bosses." Sure, it doesn't help that every time I've done that TF I've been a squishie as I don't have a built-up farmer-level toon, but still. Stepping out onto shore and finding the leader already over half a map away; later trying to figure out where they are while I'm still half a map away from the giant robot silo... the last time I ended up just hovering way up in the air whilst they duked it out with the final big bad below, I think I maybe healed them once or twice. Of course, since it was all about them, they didn't care or complain. "Sir, this is an Arby's."

IKR? The dev team doesn't know it's 2020!
