eek!! Feel free to PM with the concerns.

Headline: "Crisis Adverted in Farm Community" :)

Yep that's what arena does. There's also a camera drone for viewing by non-combatants... I think I'm remembering correctly. Have not done arena in some time.

nope, none here.

Oh they came out.. just in an alternate zone, Port Oakes, and wrecked the place..

I have many completed characters "Fully IO'd" with no winter, pvp, or purple sets (other than a fire proc or a unique). I have less than a handful of over the top builds that include winter, pvp, or purple sets.

"Fully IO'd" could be pretty subjective.

Here's 29 new pages of reading for you:

I'm in need of something to beta and left grasping at topics.. I think I've requested stick figure costumes in the past as well..

It would be awesome to reskin Mids something like:

Oooo math lessons. You are totally right! In my excitement I looked at villains to heroes, rather than villains to total number of players.

@JulioThom33_2 Yep you nailed it. Procs OR Bonuses. It can be some bonuses and 1 proc. This tends to be the way it works out until a build gets super dialed in.

Hey there are no rhymes in that wall of words.. what gives?!

Love seeing Unrelenting & Unleash Potential used together with Link Minds and the focus on boosting holds & stuns (very under appreciated). Well Done! @oedipus_tex Gravity Control / Psionic Assault has always had a pull on me. Lift, Propel and Worm Hole are some of the most fun powers in the game. Add Drain Psyche and Psychic Shockwave and I'M IN. Skipping many of the powers works, they just aren't needed on higher end builds. Note: It does become very average if you play down to lower level content.

you've been snarfed

Rune of Protection then One with the Shield is about 3 minutes of additional protection and 2.5 minutes without. Not an awful way to go. However.. one of Dark's strengths is the -tohit which could fill some defense gaps. It could be challenging to apply that to ranged targets. Just some food for thought. I bet if you tried a little harder on build 2 you could cover ranged.

Stone Melee is pretty fun and effective. It hits like a.. well it has big stone hammers. ..and stalkers and scrappers don't Stone Melee. Definitely paired with a resist set of your choosing as others mentioned. When the new changes come out Energy Melee might be a bit better on brutes and stalkers than tanks. ( h o p i n g )

1/3 of the players online look to be redside. lots of players redside, 1:3 ratio! side note: 163/489 is exactly 1/3.. craziness Way to go Everlasting Villains!!

A lot of the endurance reduction is from enhancements. Crushing Impact for example: Accuracy/Damage, Damage/Endurance, Damage/Recharge, Accuracy/Damage/Recharge, Accuracy/Damage/Endurance, and Damage/Endurance/Recharge. At 50 these total up to 68.9% each for endurance reduction, accuracy and recharge. As well as 101.47% for damage. (I typically will only use 5 of the 6.. I don't get the full value) In my opinion Energize it too good not to have. A heal is handy. That it has bult-in Endurance Reduction is a bonus. Hope this is helping. Loved that you did a spreadsheet.

+1 for "phalangal dexterity"

+1

Yep, you got it. High end builds are able to bend what's possible. Some folks might focus on recharge or damage. Others focus on defenses. Having fun is the most important part. Not every blaster needs crazy stats to be effective or successful. Also, those stats tend to come at a cost to other areas. What is possible with time and investment can be ridiculous (though maybe not even needed).
