Thanks everyone. I thought that those powers would have no effects. From your responses, it appears that they do have effects, just no bonuses.

I've been told that Offensive Adaptation is the best in most situations. I've noticed that some Bio powers don't give bonuses when using Offensive. Should I skip those powers?

Thank you everyone for your advice. It was all very helpful

I've looked at these two sets and am confused. Both have reduced recharge, which is useless because most powers that use them are toggles. I don't understand why they are better than a simple Def IO, since that is all Def and only needs 3 slots (or maybe 4 to include End Red), and one of these could use 6 slots. I'm playing an SR/EA Stalker, and am confused about what to put in the Def power slots

Thank you. That is a good summary. PFF appears to be a weakened version of Hibernate, since I can't affect anyone else and can't rest, while Hibernate allows me to recover. Fire appears great, but outside of theme since the toon will be an Earth toon. Repulsion might be good.

I'm playing a Seismic/Earth blaster and am near level 35. I'm looking at several Masteries, and most are out of theme. I'm mostly considering Force, Ice, and Mace. For Force, I would have to first pick Personal Force Field or Repulsion, both of which I consider to be useless. Mace is good, but I don't like the appearance of holding a mace, since my toon uses innate abiliities. I'm mostly considering Ice, since I can color it brown and make it look similar to stone. Does anyone have any opinions of what is good?

I believe that the +Def from Storm Kick would be overkill with SR, so I wonder if StJ would be better. Is one better than the other or are they about the same?

The problem might be that you didn't give it a chance to reset. If I delete or rename a toon and then make a new toon with the same name, I first delete or rename, and then I log off the game and stay off for 10 or more minutes. Then, I log back on and make the new toon. I've never had a problem with choosing the same name, and one of my toons has a name that is very popular in many MMOs.

Many people have duck themed toons. I would like to see a duck bill.

This is an excellent guide and is well written

This is an excellent guide, and I read it often. Thank you.

Many of my toons have punny names, and I get very happy when someone sends me a compliment on my name or my bio. Likewise, I send compliments when I like someone's name, bio or costume.

I was in Yin. At the end of the first mission, there is a room with several doors. I asked everyone to stay and help destroy them with me, but they all left. If they all stayed, we could have finished them quickly

I like the Energy Aura power but hate its appearance. Even when I choose a color for min appearance (usually dark blue), it still appearance like a large cloud is surrounding my toon. I would really like it if we could have an option to reduce or eliminate its appearance.

This is an excellent guide. I read it often. Thank you for making it.
