[Endgame Human Warshade AKA The Coffin Queen]

Re. mez, defensive amplifier is 4 points to all mez. If anything gets past my defense it has to stack past that too. It happens periodically but I also take the hybrid melee that has mez protection and it works as a break free. Allowed me to take agility on both my human only khelds.

That works fine, unless you want to use it as an escape...

i bind the powexec_location target to the power tray button the power's located at and then if i need to use it normally i can still click and aim.

I read that completely wrong, but I'm not apologizing.

I'm with you. "Being passed out" and "passed out" are decidedly different things in my lingo. But the thread is way less skeevy than I was expecting so that's a win.

[Soloing task forces at the recommended level - is it possible?]

most of them sure. I wouldn't try sutter or lady grey. ktf and morty would be a stretch too for most builds. and obviously stf/rsf/kahn/cuda you wouldn't want to try soloing at 45 or at all on most things.

[Clarion. How useful is it really?]

I've not taken it on anything since I discovered defensive amplifier. Most of my squishies are ranged defense capped so the 4 points from the amp is usually more than enough. It has the benefit of working when exemped as well. Unless there's some pressing need for a different hybrid I'll take the melee one with the mez help as it also works as a break free click (for those times when something gets through both defense and 4 points - like when someone kills a nictus in ITF while we're all exposed or reichsmann's big stun). 

[Getting kicked out of team when teleporting to SG base when different alignment]

Did they happen to be running alignment specific missions, like the Maria Jenkins arc, e.g.? Those'll kick a rogue who leaves blue zones.

[Speed/Solo Cavern of Transcendence Trial]

You should be able to click it so long as you can see it on that trial.

[Shield Wall - Catalyst or Booster]

Use Myrmidon's third option. Unslotters are cheap and you can slot attuned pvp IOs at level 7. At 50 the shield wall unique with a 55 Def and a 55 D/End and a LOTG attuned is my go-to for a defense power on every toon. Takes you well into the red on defense and gives more HP than 3 slotted LOTG.

[Ghost of Scrapyard Needs a Cooldown]

There are way less boring ways to get a merit a minute or more if that's your thing. Besides, it's not as if merits are particularly valuable. I have tens of thousands parked in hero merits and nothing to spend them on. Keep scrappy easily spawnable for those who do the redside version of that accolade.

Thanks.....Its seems like nobody runs this build because I don't usually get many responses.  I want to respec him but I don't know how to slot him.  I have some ideas but would like to see what some other people do.  It seems like an endurance heavy combo but it has decent heals.  I also notice it draws tons of aggro lol......i die a lot 

If you're dying a lot on rad armor something's wrong somewhere. are you keeping particle shielding up? is it slotted? the absorb/regen combo from it is no joke. also radiation therapy can refill your endurance if enough mobs are around, though i doubt endurance will still be an issue once you IO it out fully.

[Thermal Radiation - should I announce Forge buff?]

I've gotta say if i got an auto tell every two minutes about a buff i'd very likely temporarily /ignore. The worst I've encountered is an emp with a macro about gathering tied to the incarnate team tp power. Clicking ignore on that constantly over the course of a tf was just miserable. Just buff where you can and only worry about getting everyone when there's a major fight. Everyone will be mostly gathered for those anyway.

[Returning Noob Question]

just /t @globalname

it'll say so and so is offline but will receive your message blah blah

 

[Returning Noob Question]

^^^ Or they might've stopped playing for a month or 6. If they don't respond for a while you might try sending their global an offline tell too. I for one might go weeks of playing daily without looking at my email if i didn't make a new character that needed to grab money out of there. Many of us ignore the email indicator since it's permanently showing from stuff we've sent ourselves or from all the inspirations and respecs in there from opening packs.

[Attempting to make Elude worth using with MA/SR]

In general on SR if you're not already defense capped and ddr capped you've gone horribly wrong somewhere. So you'd then just be weighing movement speed and recovery bonuses against the crash.

I see from your build that you've gone all in on the presence pool to try and mitigate elude when elude is basically giving you the 3% defense you need to softcap when it's up. But had you not gone with the presence pool it'd have been trivial to pick up that extra 3%/2% ranged/melee and have it all the time. Your recovery is already fine, you're over cap on DDR and you've got movement speed bonuses all over the place. So basically yeah, a long-winded way of saying /signed on Bill's post.

[If you're in a taskforce, and you run into an AV you cannot damage enough...]

The pocket d p2w vendor works mid-tf. mm and sent can buy daggers and zip back to where they were while the tank/dark hold the AVs at a standstill. If you have the money for signature pets the blue versions of support and ranged damage are manti and posi who'd help loads. daggers should be enough though, especially if the dark has tar pit.

[QoL idea -- add P2W fixed price items to AH]

/signed. and i'd even pay for the 2xp one if it meant i could dip out of the last mish of itf for it, as that seems to be the prime point for it to expire. 

[Net endurance gain target?]

Survival amplifier and the sg base recovery buff are also a huge help for problem toons, especially leveling.

[Requesting a Plant/Savage Dom Build]

Click the link? Assuming you have Mids installed, that is. Also I rebuilt it in Mids but haven't respecced it in game since it's all tier 4'd and i have other toons that aren't.
