The first series isn't bad as it's more in line with the gameplay. The Top Cow ones with the Phalanx aren't very good. I'd echo Fista that the two novels are much better for the lore characters.

Preventative medicine will proc regardless of what power it is placed in. Same with miracle and numinas, but they are always on.
miracle and numina are always on only in an auto power. preventative is always on no matter where you stick it, even in an unused rez or something.

Those are account locked, so if that's the main thing you want from the packs you should buy packs on your farm account.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think we should keep in mind there are two versions of Poison:
- The version that exists on Masterminds, which features Noxious Gas (a power you put on a minion so at least you don't have to melee)
- The version that exists on Defenders, Corruptors, and Controllers and features Venemous Gas (same power as above, but its a PBAoE aura)
It's the latter version that really struggles IMO. A Poison Defender is encouraged to run into melee range running a PBAoE toggle to get its -Resist effect in and this set doesn't feel sturdy enough for that.
I love Venomous Gas on my defender, so much so that i barely use the main 3 debuffs except on hard targets. I'm willing to concede that it might not be great if you're just using SOs but on a kitted out IO build it's fantastic.
As to the OP, sure why not. I don't take them anyway but it'd make the set more attractive for folks who want the heal stuff.

Hai Emmy 😄
Wasn't joking, i'll absolutely walk through the whole process.

How about this. OP send me a pm and we'll set up a time. I'll transfer a character to whatever server you want and we'll go to the market. I'll sit there on a team with you and you can look for whatever you're wanting on the AH. When you come across something you can't find you tell me and I'll get it for you and tell you exactly what i did to get it. We can repeat this process until you're satisfied you can get the stuff on your own.

Yep, same badge different alignment. In fact as soon as you switch the contact for invader should pop up as a new contact.
-
When you switch back to red to do invader you'll be awarded Hero Slayer.

It's pretty clear to me now that the OP is not actually reading the responses or is doing so with such an intense preconceived idea of what horrible people we all are that confirmation bias is turning all the responses into youtube comment vitriol. The conspiracy theory stuff leans me toward the latter.

Honestly, throw out what you have. Start over. Go look at the farm fresh builds thread or any of the other spine/fire threads in the brute section for guidance. Someone's bound to have a budget build somewhere on these forums that'd work for you.

that'd be great but I'd get tired of having to cancel TPs from people trying to get me to run a tf while i'm on a machine that's just gotta be due.

My bad, i saw the 60% resist effect in danger sense and thought it applied to both the perception and defense debuffs. Should've looked at totals before gasbagging. So even with ageless radial's added ddr it'd be an issue, and that wouldn't apply to the OP's question anyway.

But with the very low DDR levels from Ninjitsu, it can be a rough ride depending on that defense against some enemy factions.
I've not played it on HC but according to the Mids numbers that got fixed at some point.

The only thing they add to my mood is annoyance since i've seen many of them hundreds of times. my battle cries are mostly responses to them they're so well known at this point.

Im old and my memory may be failing me, but i seem to remember this WAS possible live as long as all members had seen the cutscene before and all agreed to skip it. then again its been a long long time.
think that was just for itrials, which were coded much later. mother mayhem over and over as many times as we had to run BAF on live was just brutal.

I should have mentioned above when talking about searching for crafted instead of recipes that a good trick is to set your level parameters in the AH for 1-1 before you search. that'll limit your results to attuned enhancements (just make sure you don't buy attuned purples).

I'm kind of reaching the point with this where I'm beginning to wonder what the point to talking to or suggesting anything to anyone is. It's always the same 'well, we've always done it this way' and that seems good enough. If that's good enough, I guess I'll shut up and not mention it anymore. Evidently I occur in a vacuum and there are no issues and everything is perfect.
I don't think anyone's saying anything like that. In fact we couldn't really say that we've always done it this way because it's never been so easy. The issue you're having is more about the way you're going about things than the way the game works. If you're going to only bid on recipes and not consider buying crafted IOs, converting IOs or using merits, then yes, you'll run into problems. If you're willing to be flexible, you'll find that it's incredibly easy to get everything you want on HC for a fraction of the cost it would've been on live.

I have over 25 fully specced lvl 50 characters and have never experienced the level of difficulty you seem to be facing however; certain low level recipes such as rectified reticle cannot be purchased via merits and therefore takes much much longer to acquire.
Sure it can, it's 20 for the to-hit, 50 for the other two. you might just need to use your level slider?

this got me curious so i went to check my build. I had 81.9 melee lol. 66.7 ranged/aoe which seems more reasonable. but it's not as if i really tried to build for melee - just a consequence of perma mind link, double maneuvers for the team values (giving 40+ defense all to anyone who sticks near me and catches mind link is probably overkill but makes me smile), the auto power being melee and one of the ATO sets having melee. that said with my kamikaze build being mainly melee with essentially no resists, some cushion's probably for the best.
and of course like every time i open a build i've not looked at in a few weeks i noticed 3 things i'd change that'd require a respec.

70 defense is really not overkill on a fort/wid. Mine has a whopping 27.2 ddr before ageless radial. Try taking that on a speed itf sometime.

Seems to be a widespread problem that people are so used to buying recipes and crafting from the old game that they don't even bother to look for the crafted IO, even when you can get the (usually) better attuned version for the same price if you go that route. I'm constantly baffled by recipes that are more expensive than their crafted version. For a while there I was making 8-10 million on LotG recipes while the crafteds were only 4-7. It's evened out a bit of late but it's still usually not worth crafting if you get a drop.
And as far as things not being for sale? That's hardly an issue with converters. You'll come up against 0 enhancements for sale here and there, usually in ATO or winter sets, sometimes in sets that are high demand but had their prices fall off so much that convert-and-sell folks went off of them and forgot to check back. But in those cases you either buy something else in the set and convert or convert from something cheaper. Worst case scenario you just use merits.

Procced out dominate is good fun fyi.

Been toying with making an ice control character as I never had one on live either so reading this has been great for info but a sad for those plans. Looking at mids I see ice slick is a location targeted AOE. Have folks tried using it from out of line of sight to mitigate the alphas? That works quite well on blaster's bonfire, so well that I've been taking it on every blaster. Someone mentioned that ice slick's not as good as bonfire now so wondering if that strategy's not workable with ice.

This is key, Snarky. Since you said you grind for your inf I'm guessing most of the orange recipes you're getting are level 50 and thus cost about a million for salvage/crafting. You're already at a loss on probably 85-90% of them just from that. The only oranges I craft at level 50 are resist, defense and PVP . PVP are a few converters from something 9+ million (entire panacea, some glad armor and most of shield wall will sell well. You don't necessarily need to gamble for the uniques). Most of the aegis and unbreakable pieces will sell for 3 million and defense ones are only a few converters away from a 5-7 million LotG piece. If you get an actual LotG recipe check the recipe prices. Depending on the day you can often get more for the recipe than the crafted + crafting costs. For a while there recipes were more than crafted. Should also check the recipe price for unique IO drops like numina regen/rec or performance +end.
If the orange recipe is obliteration, numina, preventive medicine or positron's blast it's sometimes worth listing for a bit. Otherwise vendor them or dump them on the ah for pennies if you're feeling generous and have the slots.
