He can do that because he doesn't sparkle.

I don't always like to play Vet so if I want a change such as changing a powerset, specific powers, number of slots, appearance or something else, I will liquidate or transfer items, Influence and Merits and then restart the toon. The toon will be richer and better for levelling.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, Minimal FX is not available for EA When using Bright, I can't choose black/black. I can only choose gray, which is very visible. I can choose black/black when using Dark, but that is very visible as well. I assuming that changing effects in the graphics settings and the City Modder would change the appearance on my screen, but not on everyone else's. I believe that everyone else would still see the EA cloud. I really want everyone to not see my EA effects, or as little as possible.

I love Energy Aura, but hate its appearance. I try to minimize its appearance by using a mostly blue costume and choosing the darkest blue for the EA color. Does anyone else have any other ways to minimize EA appearance?

This list is very helpful and the comments are helpful as well. Thank you.

Is Placate AOE now?

It appears that recharge affects the start or restart of a toggle. Does it affect the toggle during it? For example, if a toon has a damage shield or Maneuvers, does it make it damage or defend more often? Does it improve damage or defense in this way?

If I put a Recharge Enhancement in a Toggle Power, will it have any affect?

For a long time, I've wanted to make a plant based support. I've wondered if I should make Plant/NA Controller, or NA/Dark Defender. From the comments in this post, it appears that Def is better for a strong team while Contr is better for a weak team. I'll make a Def. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks everyone. All of your advice was appreciated. BR appears the be the best and the most Science Fictiony, so I plan to use BR.

I'm planning to make a Sci Fi themed doctor. I plan to use Emp and either BR or DP. I'm not sure which is better for a Def. I don't think that BR has many good secondary effects, so I wonder if it would be good for a Def. I plan to mostly group for TFs and other group missions. I only PVE. I don't PVP. Which do you think is best?

The duck in a bowl is ok, but I want a duck bill. It would be great for my toon to be a duck.

It appears to be good and is for for people who want an Ice theme, but I'm upset that it doesn't have Hibernate.

That's awesome. I didn't know that we had Ice Mastery for Corr until I saw this post. I wish it had Hibernate, but oh well.

There is a costume pieces request topic and it has a huge number of entries. This should be in that topic. I've made submissions into that topic, and I think that my suggestions are the most important. Someone else thinks that his suggestions are the most important. Also, I don't know if the devs have a graphic designer who can create new appearance items, or if they must come from things already in the game.

We can only get the badge once. I'll admit that I've had many times in which someone ruined the badge, either on accident or on purpose. Once, I took 6 tries to get the badge. Most of the time I get it in one try. When I create a DFB run, I say that it is a badge run, and ask if there is anybody who doesn't know the badge routine. If someone doesn't know, I explain it. I see no reason to change the badge routine. Our devs should spend their time on more important things.

Toon is a drummer. I've been told that drummers must have a lot of endurance, so I think of WP. I've been told that Energy Aura is one of the best, but I don't like its appearance. I mostly plan to do group stuff, especially TFs. I am willing to consider other secondaries. I tried Shield, making the shield look like a cymbal, but I didn't like it.

What confuses me is that one enh has End/Rech and it doesn't mention Def except for the category. I don't understand how it can improve Def better than a general Def IO.

I was looking at Luck of the Gambler and noticed that some of the enhancements don't provide defense. They provide recharge or other traits. Since these are for defense skills (for a Stalker, but could be for other ATs) I wonder if it would be better to use one LotG and generic Def IOs for a Def skill.

For similar reasons, I also refuse to join SGs. In the old days, I liked Guilds/SGs. I enjoyed socializing, and grouping together. I liked using guild chat and only using voice chat for grouped missions. Now, I try to use SG chat, and someone tells me to use discord. I don't like discord for regular chat. I'm often watching TV or talking with my gf on the phone, and discord gets in the way. I've joined several SGs and found that the public SG base is better than private SG bases. The public base is small and simple. It is easy to use its features. The SG owned SG bases are large and complicated.

I rarely see toons with this power, so I wonder if it is weak. It has a protective toggle and an enemy debuff, so I think that it should be good.

Thank you all for your replies. I looked up Celerity. It lasts for 2 minutes when activated. Does it activate when I turn on Sprint? Since I don't want to activate it at that time, can it be inserted into my stealth power?

I plan on making an MA or StJ/Ninj Scrapper. I want to increase the Ninja Stealth ability. Should I add Stealth from the Concealment Pool? Are there any IOs that would help?

I've read several MMO Popularity Rating websites. According to several sites, WoW and SWTOR ranked near the top, CoH ranked around the middle and CO ranked near the bottom. I like CO, but probably because I became a lifer at launch. Of course, I prefer CoH.
