Easy mode for this would likely be a Scrapper capable of soft capping defenses. DM/SR is stupidly easy to softcap with high recharge, but it's primary advantage would be the massive DDR. That is what I started with when going for AVs and Task Forces.

I see a lot of people concerned about timing Rage as close to perfect so they avoid the crash, but in my eyes I don't see it as a significant burden. Sure if you don't want Rage to fall for even a second it matters, but there is no harm if someone lets a single stack drop for a few seconds. I don't get why it's such a big deal to some.

I think trick or treating is making the lower levels more difficult than the typical experience. More bosses and automatic aggro combined with frequent to-hit debuffs is extra difficult, especially when Domination isn't up.

That's how it currently is and I think it's a good system with appropriate cost.

If a Null the Gull option were to be added, it shouldn't change the KB to KD or anything like that. It should completely remove the effect with nothing to replace the lost utility. If someone wants KD to KB, there are already options for that.

Minor point, but I don't think SR takes significant budget or effort to softcap.

Awesome thanks, gonna look at this tonight. Been leaning towards Mind/Martial, but /Fire is on my short list.

Me too. I feel like I won't be able to take shots at Tanks for much longer, so I wanted to get another shot it while I could.

These are good points. Any such rewards would need to be carefully balanced so it encourages a variety of play and not just funnel everyone into doing a clear all every time. Also, what Dom are you speaking about? I have a Dark/Stone that I LOVE and I've been thinking about making another one, just can't quite decide. I think part of the problem is Stone smashes so much that I'm worried about another secondary feeling weak in comparison.

In all fairness Tanks have been pretty irrelevant for a really, really long time. So I'm good with them having their moment and a gloating about it. I know I've done my fair share of loltank when a teammate says we need one.

To me these are all good things as it adds variety.

Scrapperlock makes this impossible.

Your endurance is probably an issue, but that will get better. In the meantime I'd prioritize end reduction and accuracy over damage when slotting your attacks and toggles until you have more slots. Smite is one of your best attacks, that should be in your rotation at every level. Shadow Maul can be difficult to use and it has a long activation, I suggest picking up Combat Jumping to help with positioning to maximize it's effectiveness. Plus Combat Jumping is the best thing ever. Overall Dark Melee has poor AoE, that won't be changing.

On the other hand, this could be a fun way to quit a job and burn bridges. Long term may not be wise, but it sure could be interesting!

So I generally dislike olives, but I used to prefer my martinis somewhat dirty.

My melee focused Dark/Stone Dom hates those blue flames, she dies a lot. But I'm ok with that, debt badges FTW.

The phrase I emphasized is a huge tell. I mean comparing what's going on in this thread to abusing one's family is clearly ridiculous, but using "white knight" in this context is a way to dismiss people and how they feel.

I like this idea

Lightning Rod and Shield Charge are two

Basically you need 325% recharge to make it perma, so you're 48.6% short. Outside of the Agility Alpha I'm not sure it's doable on your own. Even then you'll be about 17% or so short, but the Destiny Ageless should make up for that. edit: Damn Bopper beat me to it edit 2: Here is the recharge formula from Paragon Wiki: RechargeTime = BaseRechargeTime / ( 100% + Buffs - Debuffs )

What's the power, it's base recharge, and current recharge enhancement value?

This is a skill that I didn't really appreciate until I was bartending and had to cut people off. I had to learn to give people news they'd hate and potentially embarrass them. The goal was for them to perceive me doing them a favor and not that I was attacking them or calling them a drunk asshole, even if I thought they were.

But if that is how people consistently perceive such a statement, I feel like a different approach would be the most practical solution. Because it's much easier to adjust my wording rather than attempting to change the way people see such statements. How someone says something and how others perceive that statement is at least as important as what they actually say. I realize that is frequently easier said than done, especially in nothing more than text. I just think it's the most practical way to approach the issue. This is why despite me being extremely interested in this topic, I have been relatively quiet in this thread.

Did this for the first time with my new War Mace/Willpower Scrapper. T2 Vigor Alpha was only Incarnate power, DPS of 273. Clobber-Shatter-Jawbreaker is almost gapless, I'm about 5% recharge short for Clobber.

I couldn't hit Twinshot and the rest of the other heroes and that bummed me out because they are lame.
