SuperPlyx

I always do this basically how Greycat describes it. Altho sometimes I click the glowie then head in. But that's all about what toon I'm on and What it can handle. My surprise with this mission arc is how many don't do it at all. I can't tell you the number of people I have told and showed this mission arc to. And there is even some who know about it but don't do it. Saying Aplha will unlock with Incarnate XP. Well yes it will, but that's XP that could be unlocking all the other slots. I can't seem to make them understand this concept.

Ok, my thinking on Martial was Reaction Time would help with the movement speed. I totally forgot that it was a weird click off to get boost. So sorry about that one. Time only has 1 PBAoE which imo is skippable. Time Lord is 20% recharge that is alwasy on. Chronos gives the same as well as Tohit and damage. By having a "headstart" on recharge, you are able to put more sets/slots towards defense or whatever else you need. Temporal Healing is always on and gives a Recovery boost. I have a Time blaster and I skipped all the melee powers. I easily hit range defense soft cap. As Fire is my Primary I could rely on it to do enough damage to not need any Damage from the Secondary.

I recommend you take a look at Temporal Manipulation and Martial Combat. I think either of these 2 work. And would work well with a weapon primary.

You can tint the mane and armor on the Nemesis Horse. This may be too small an area tho...I just love that horse

Let me see if I can say this right, Burn is cast as a pseudo-pet type and as such gives each proc 2 chances of working. That is the super simple answer. Now hopefully someone a lot smarter than me will come along with the long, more complete answer

I worried about that, I guess I will give it a try but I foresee this may get respecced out of. 2 powers I am having difficulty choosing between is Longfang and Suppression .....any advice one which one to pick?

Been wanting to do a team crab Soldier for awhile and I think I finally have a build that I like. I have never played these before. Was hoping someone with more experience with the AT would give it a look over and tell me if I missing anything important. Or has any advice, thank you.

R. Lee Ermey voice: This is your fourth respec hero, if we can call you that. Do you know how many times you died in that last Tasck Force? Well, do you? No one knows because they lost count! You are an embarrassment to this SG and a besmirchment on my good name. You will be repecced as many times as it takes. And as I often as it takes to get it right. Now strip! I have to much free time on my hands

Love the new zone, exploring it I was tickled to see the big donut but I squealed like a little girl seeing the Nemesis Horses.

Frenzy is just a game changer for a Dom. It means playing as and staying a Villain but man is it worth it. Personally I struggled with finding a Dom I could play , this is my 3rd try and I finally found one I like. One thing that made it click for me was doing a Range only Dom....I know they get some good melee attacks but I just couldn't make it work. Playstyle or whatever Range works best for me. So that may be something to look at. Good luck hope you find one you like!

And I very much agree with Nightmare Shaman , Wormhole is a situational power at best. If you team a lot it just will not be used much. The cast time is just to long. Now I still have it in my build, but I rarely use it. What I do use a lot if Crushing Fields and Gravity Distortion Field , these are your AoE Immob and Hold and in my humble opinion should be well slotted since they are used so much. Cast Crushing Fields and then putting Singularity right in the middle of the pack is a helluva lot of fun. It pulls them into a nice tight group to murder. Edit to add, I slotted Superior Dominating Grasp: Recharge/Chance for Fiery Orb in Crushing Fields and I have had up to 4 Orbs out at once. It really shines in a AoE power. I imagine it would do well in Gravity Distortion Field as well.

Didn't realize this thread was here. I played on Pinnacle, mostly redside. My main guy was the first toon I made when I got CoX, an Elec/Elec/Elec Blaster named Plyx. Because "all your end belong to me!" Member of Nites of Darkness. Meet a lot of great people on Pinnacle, enjoyed every minute of it.

Agreed the new exploration tips is such a great system. It synergizes so well with various styles of play. It really is one of those things where you got to ask yourself ,why wasn't this always a thing?!

Should turning Sprint on cause Stealth to drop from 55 to 36 ? Because it does

You misspelled awesome!

I have been bad about the "must hit softcap" on all my toons. Till I was building my new Dom and I just couldn't do everything I wanted it to do with defense that high. So it is maybe the only one I got with the defense in mid 30s. And really I can hardly tell it. I don't die any more often, and even when I do it's mostly my fault (chat death) I will say (and I am not sure if this is the lower defense or the squishy AT) when things do go south ,they go south in a hurry.

Had to look it up but it is only going to be 6 episodes. Only 1 left in this season. Glad somebody liked the last episode I fell asleep watching it.

Either 2 or 3, while I do plan my builds out ahead of time. It never fails I misjudge a power or how often I use a power.

Honestly just replying before this thread rolls into page 3 obscurity....I really do think it's good idea. With just a bit of change to code you could unlock roughly 45 quality, high level missions redside.

I would think that would fix any problem this might cause

So as a villain I can not search hero zones or for heroes by name with the find member window. Is that something we could change? As we have different alignments and people can switch so easily it seems outdated. Is there a pvp reason we couldn't change it, maybe?

Yep, playing solo and mission calls for killing boss at end. Stealth, Snipe and clean up.

Sounds like she might like Dual Blades or Staff Fighting, they both have systems that (to oversimplify) require you to do combos to bank points that you later spend on an attack.

Agreed the SSA are great mission/arcs unfortunately not run as much mainly due to the TaskForce mechanic of locking the team. That seems to make people leery of joining for some reason. I am guessing the reward table at the end of the arc is why it does the TF team lock. But also because they are not run as much, team leads do not know the best way to go about them. Well , that's just my opinion. Actually gonna start trying to run Pandora's Box redside and see how it goes. Like I said I don't know it that well so a learning experience for me and everyone who joins me, lol

Wanted to mention, that easy way to implement this would be to make the patron you choose be the one to introduce you the next one. After you have completed his/her story arc. And then when you have completed that patron's arc they could introduce you the next one and so on.
