So the new asteroid maps are better than the large farm maps? NOPE.. though depending on your purpose, time and resources it might be. They don't last long enough for some folks. There are lots of maps. They are all available for both fire and s/l farms as well as other AE missions. Tunnel, Cave, Carnie, Dreck, City, Asteroid, Warehouse, Cargo Ship, The Abyss, Graveyard Typical keywords for searching might include: "Page 5" "Fire" "City" "Cave" "Carnie" "S/L" "Ally" "30 Min" "15 Min" ..or just the number Example farms: #65952 '30 min road tunnel' #46880 'Tunnel' #65788 'Tunnel EBs' #65709 'Cave' #65726 'Carnie' #65558 'Carnie' #65747 'Dreck' (Big Map) #46599 'City' Popular Medium Tunnel: Mission Map Details - 2 allowed any detail type. (2 Front, 2 Back) - 23 allowed ambush, boss, patrol or destroy object details. (23 Front, 23 Back) - 6 allowed floor collection items. (6 Front, 6 Back) Shorter Asteroid: Mission Map Details - 16 allowed any detail type. (16 Front, 16 Back) - 4 allowed floor collection items. (4 Front, 4 Back) - 1 allowed giant monster details. Larger Carnie [Carnival of Shadows - Commercial]: Mission Map Details - 62 allowed ambush, boss, patrol or destroy object details. (62 Front, 62 Back) - 30 allowed rescue, escort, or defend object details. (30 Front, 30 Back) - 44 allowed floor collection items. (44 Front, 44 Back) - 1 allowed giant monster details. Dreck [City Map 02 (Ruined)]: Mission Map Details - 61 allowed ambush, boss, patrol or destroy object details. (61 Front, 61 Back) - 90 allowed rescue, escort, or defend object details. (90 Front, 90 Back) - 104 allowed floor collection items. (104 Front, 104 Back) - 1 allowed giant monster details. City [City Map 02]: Mission Map Details - 32 allowed ambush, boss, patrol or destroy object details. (32 Front, 32 Back) - 30 allowed rescue, escort, or defend object details. (30 Front, 30 Back) - 44 allowed floor collection items. (44 Front, 44 Back)

@JJDrakken, as usual, doing good work for little reward. There are lots of ways to build characters. Many folks have different goals, different budgets, different tradeoffs, different definitions of what fun is. Often folks are just looking for a starting point and want to play rather than tweaking spreadsheets for weeks before getting to play. ANYONE who claims 'this is the only way' is typically wrong. Those wanting to refine a build often post it in it's own topic and request feedback (Is it so hard to differentiate wanting a starting point and dialing in a final build?)

Since we dont have male long robes/dresses.. Dr Plague.costume

Don't be afraid to use the other body types for your transformation.. w/sharp teeth w/ Grin face Frogger.costume huge body Metalic3 provides nice shiny skin

The changes in my opinion really gimped early regen. Without the lessons those pre-IO set levels provide, players don't readily learn what makes it different and how to lean into what Regeneration did very well. So I'll follow along with interest.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............ poison sucks unless you want to spit on heroes OR spend a billion+ and have incarnates then it works and situational it's above average?

Making suggestions is good, making good suggestions is subjective.

You asked for thoughts.. Constructive did not appear to be a prerequisite. I tried to not be harsh.

Knockdown is any knockback or knockup that has a magnitude under a certain threshold. The threshold is 0.75 for knockback, and 1.5 for knockup. The most typical knockdown magnitude is .67. The 'actual' data and the descriptions in the 'summary label' tend to match. Disparaging 'Whomever is maintaining City of Data' is a non-starter.

For Super Reflexes it's not hard to sort out just the primary set and pool powers. This provides a nice blank with 49 empty slots to work with. I can then plug & play different secondaries and adjust as needed. (click to enlarge images) Even using level 35 enhancements Melee and Ranged are still 57% and AoE is 55.6%. The LotGs provide a nice 27% ACC bump with the Kismet 6% ToHit Less expensive @ level 30 can get a character to 45% Melee/Ranged/AoE using just 13 placed slots.

I'd be able to macro every Exploration, History, and Day Job location while trivializing any effort to get them.

Purple set bonuses often include whats missing. The stacking IO set bonuses start to make some individual enhancement aspects less important. Thats why some folks are able to leverage procs to an extreme, at times forgoing any individual enhancement stats.

That's fair. Just don't want to mislead anyone not doing +4/8.

Whoaaaaa now. They sorta get it. Folks use a rotation of powers outside Regeneration for +4/8 and the hardest content, mostly solo. For regular game play and especially while teaming it is simply not necessary. The old set with 2 heals and Instant Healing, it was rare to use all three in regular content. On big, league oriented content it is laughable how little of the tool box is used. Regeneration gobbles up team buffs in a way that some other armors don't. Moment of Glory (15s), Instant Healing (90s), Rune of Protection (60s), Shadow Meld (15s), Demonic Aura (60s) can all be had before Incarnates. Other ATs can also take advantage of similar tactics. I also use Darkest Night (-ToHit/-Dam) on Brutes with the bonus of keeping things aggro'd.

I LOVE the costume creater. I'll do a contest or two but the standing around.. and waiting.. and waiting.. it's just not a good ROI. lol 😛 You had me sold at Marketeering = Magic

~2 weeks ~20-30 minutes per day ~2B in resources to build whatever we want for the near future. Tips: Don't pay the 'today' price. Some patience and we can save a l o t. Winters, D-Syncs, some Hamis.. temper the expectation to have lots of these right away. Great builds can be had without 'em. 2xp from pay-2-win (S.t.a.r.t. vendor) - We earn no coin when it's on. Do something! We don't earn anything in the character creator, just chatting in General Chat or looking for a 'farm'.

sigh..

Did you mean while lasers are shooting out of the eyes?!! Because that would be pretty cool.

@Lunans I'm gonna call this work in progress.

..and for responses to your other queries:

https://cod.uberguy.net/html/powerset.html?pset=brute_melee.super_strength&at=brute I am using a Primary set compared to Pool powers. Reason:

Claws can build a very effective attack chain with less powers than other sets might be able to. (I used this tactic for years with Energy Melee until we were forced to take Total Focus) AND it's a wet dream build for certain Marvel fans.
