My main is the only tribute toon.
Tahquitz is a loosely based nod to a character in the book The Lonesome Gods by Louis L'amour. (Six foot tall loner in Agua Caliente that the Cahuilla people confused for an Aztec demon.) So, short, gregarious, and actually an Aztec demon, reformed. 😁
Y'know it's no fun to tease about ridiculous locked titan threads if you're gonna give a serious answer.

The realities of GAME over STORY.
In the comics, Squirrel-Girl can be absolutely far less powerful than, say, Thor or the Hulk. Because the writers don't have to worry about making sure that Squirrel Girl's player is having as much fun, and feeling as much like a hero, as Hulk's and Thor's players are. Even when they're on the same team, facing the same opponents.
You're not much of a Squirrel-Girl follower I assume. She solos Marvel equivalents of Hami.

Hmmm, I think I remember Tahquitz....didn't you have that one toon that was a Popeye tribute? Or was it Joey Lawrence?

Judging by the couple trophies you got for the post it also seems to work perfectly well as a minor troll 😛

They may not be now (idk, i'm still buying converters for 100k when i need them from friends and hoarding merits like underpants against the ?????-apocalypse), but they certainly were for a good long time.
-
I've been playing one too, but I'm only 35 and am waiting to see how i like the tier 9 savage before I make a build. I'm quite confident it can be perma everything though. Will try to remember to post build when I make it if no one else has put something up. Could be a minute though as I'm an altoholic.
-
They're way easier to solo than ever before, and if you're having trouble you can take bonfire at 35 on any of them 😛

a level 1 character can do everything Shinobu lays out. The AH doesn't care what level you are.

Re my earlier post - can get to 22 with just a level 50 To Hit in tactics and the offensive amplifier, but if you want to have insta-snipe when exemped you'll need the kismet too. I dumped the kismet and picked up the slot on my arch/tactical. Went to run penny earlier and it no longer had insta snipe. of course it also didn't have rain of arrows at that level so i could use aim and upshot separately for it like I wouldn't if rain were available. or a small yellow.

Recipes and enhancements are also bucketed such that every level goes into the same pool. Attuned enhancements also sell for the same as any level unattuned.
-
That looks like one of the bugged history retrievals. Nobody's gotten one of those for 600k. The 10 mils may or may not be accurate.

I'm torn now. Can't decide if I want to keep my 4 slotted ESD arrow for slightly better set bonuses and super-situational power against robots (anything it'd hold is already dead from my RoA), or switch to a 4 cloud senses Flash Arrow which would be more useful more often (7% -to hit). If the latter i'm not sure if i'd be better off slotting the damage proc or leaving it out so as not to aggro when using flash for glowie grabbing situations. Thoughts?
-
Not everyone agrees something needs to be done. You can self-nerf if you want, leave my builds alone. If people aren't taking bubblers because they're already softcapped or denying any other AT for whatever reason they're probably someone you don't want to team with anyway. I'm happy with whatever people want to bring if they enjoy it.

Or the even simpler solution. Don't build for defense on your toons if you feel like it's a problem. If you think other things are a problem don't use them either. If you're against set bonuses in general, use common IOs or SOs.

It for some reason never occurred to me to detach the map so i could leave it up and move contact/mish/compass to the middle. that's clearly better than what i was doing before.

I've not had a problem with it apart from burn and the issue there is that both the initial hit and the pseudo-pet patch have a chance to proc. I have it in sweeping cross, irradiated ground, psi-blade sweep, dreadful wail, jacob's ladder, and spin. None of them have had the knockback issue.
-
I spoke to Pine about this issue and he explained what's going on. It's not a bug. The problem is with putting it into burn - burn has an initial damage portion and then a patch which is a pseudo-pet. The proc can trigger on either to knockdown. If it triggers on both the knockdown magnitudes compound and you get the crazy tossing out of the burn patch. So essentially the fix is to slot the set somewhere other than burn. Problematic, I know, as that's often the most open spot for it.
Also for future reference the Winter IOs are bucketed in the auction house so it's cheaper to sell your regular and rebuy superior than to use a catalyst.
-
Seems like it could be an an awful lot of work just for the few folks who're splitting the proc from the rest of the set and trying to optimize ppm, but if it's not a lot of work I could see it being an ok idea.
-
I for one have purples in every build. not as many as I used to have but that's only because I have only so many slots, ATOs are must slot, and winters are often a better option. So my demand for them is only limited by my speed of leveling, which is now slow as I don't PL anything unless it's practically unplayable. Thanks to attuned enhancements and a huge bankroll pretty much nothing falls into that category anymore. But I have plenty of friends who PL alt after alt and use the same sorts of top end builds I do for everything. I don't think they're rare either. So I think my demand and that of people like my friends will be pretty well constant for the foreseeable future. But since I don't see any factors increasing demand now I think a general downward trend will continue due to attrition and the fact that most who play actively have their farmers and mains kitted out already. But as Yomo pointed out, with so much influence in play a stagnant demand and increased supply may not necessarily mean as much of a downward price trend as you'd normally expect.

True that. And it's great that we have a non-unique for kb crazy sets. Now if we could just get a -repel IO so my stormy could mindlessly run hurricane without griefing my endurance drain aura.

Claws is great fun and thanks to kb to kd IOs is better than ever with shockwave being less situational. Dual blades isn't for everyone - if you're like me and will chase the combos just because...reasons? then it's not the best set. If you can ignore those highlighted powers unless appropriate and stick with what you know is a better dps chain it's a fine set.
Personally I'd go with claws, and not just because it's one of my favorite sets but also because of shockwave being an extra mitigating power that's not combo-dependent. Invulnerable can be a rough ride at times on brute and the extra knockback will come in handy. Of course my invulnerable brute on live was fire/ so i had no mitigation period. You might be fine with just vengeful strike. Should also be noted it was my third toon so I was still clueless on what to take/how to build etc 😄

There may very well be a known problem, but it's not happening in bonfire, shockwave, or explosive arrow. I've used it extensively in those and it works perfectly. (I have it in gremlins on my elec/storm troller but with all the insanity of hurricane/tornado/lightning storm I'd never notice if it weren't working correctly.) Only time I've come across a proc adding knockback problem is when I briefly had the avalanche one slotted in burn and it would kb sometimes. Pine told me it was due to the proc going off on the initial damage hit and then again on the pseudopet patch part in that case.
Question about En/En

If you have the slots the kb to kd IOs certainly make managing knockback easy. But there were plenty of energy blasters who were perfectly capable of not griefing with it before those ever existed. Many hovered over mobs to make the aoes knock down, many only used the aoes situationally. If you have room for the IOs I'd start with nova and worry least about the single target powers.
