Troo

That's right. Almost time to whisper rumors, unlock some badges, watch the weather change, open some stuff, and keep the doctor busy.

yes

So Close. ..queue It's-the-Most-Wonderful-Time-of-the-Year song. You're welcome.

why go changing?..

I do always enjoy these Vanguard Pursuer: I don't like this. The Rogue Isles are teeming with villains, we could be ambushed at any second. Vanguard Pursuer: They've got the roof covered. Alito can't get away, he has too much sensitive information. Vanguard Pursuer: We've got a confirmation on Troo's presence. He is taking hostile actions! You have defeated Vanguard Pursuer Vanguard Pursuer: We're supposed to be allies, Troo! Don't make us do this! You have defeated Vanguard Pursuer

always so ominous

wait, are you referencing your reply? is this a trick?

nuthin This one time.. I copied @Living_Hellfire and followed them around using an emote to continuously faceplant.. they never noticed. It was more effort than it was worth. /em shrugs

Steel Canyon, Outcast says to Tsoo: "Those who live by the sword, get shot by those who don't."

Freak Chopper: Man, with all these jerks, how are we gonna start that riot now? Mad Freak Gunner: It's all good, man. Mad Freak Gunner: We can have a riot anywhere we want. Freak Chopper: Really? Mad Freak Gunner: Yeah, really. Mad Freak Gunner: That's the truth about the Freakshow. The riot is right here inside all of us. Freak Chopper: Oh, wow. Freak Chopper: That's so Profound. Mad Freak Gunner: It's a little something I do.

Mako was impressed with your dealings with Black Scorpion and offered to lure you from that armored fool.

This would be a great addition to the Villianously Cost Effective builds for each AT.

@Warshades Thanks. I understand the difference between Defense and DeBuffing Defense. I have for a very long time been under the impression that there was a wrinkle in the Alphas when it came to Defense Debuffs effectively buffing Defense as well. (this may have been addressed and I missed it, or I was under the wrong impression all along (I'm okay with either)) Mids for a long time showed adding one of the Alphas with a Defense Debuff would add Defense to self. (as shown in the images in the first post) In-game, the Detailed Info tab for applicable Musculature powers actually currently states "+11.00%% strength to all defense on self" in addition to the Defense Debuff statements. This may be where confusion stems from. The Detailed Info tab for Musculature Core Paragon under 'Grants power Defense DeBuff' it reads: Grants power Defense DeBuff Very Rare Activation Time :0.00s Recharge Time: 0.00s Accuracy: 1.00X Power Type: Global Enhancement Target Type: Self Effect Area: Single Target +11.00%% strength to all defense on self Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable +11.00%% strength to defense debuff on self Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable +22.00%% strength to defense debuff on self Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable

We can make appropriate edits as needed. Please point to the information (not that I don't trust what you are saying) I just can't find anything and memory is fuzzy.. It's not that big a factor or deal breaker to the character. I would like it to be accurate. City of Data had the 'Increases defense debuffs by {Boost.Attrib.Defense.Scale}%' which I tried to be funny with.

Nope. They said they saw ________, and then asked separately "But are they THAT good in comparison to other Corr etc?" I read it one way, you can choose to read it and limit your answer however you like.

At least the Unlock Alpha Slot Voucher for 1 character part.

Searching for something else I found: In Oroboros there is a contact called Astral Christy; you can use 5 Astral merits to gain an email voucher which will unlock your Alpha slot on any toon that is trained to 50. Astral merits are awarded during the Incarnate trials, for doing the Tin Mage or Apex TFs, and for running the Signature Story arcs. https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Incarnate_Merit_Vendor Account Rewards Incarnate Unlock Alpha Slot Voucher for 1 character = 5 Astral Merits Other potential considerations: Recipes & Enhancements Archetype Enhancement Non-special piece = 25 million inf + 55 Astral Merits Archetype Enhancement Special piece = 25 million inf + 70 Astral Merits Recipe PVP IO Set Recipe Very Rare IO Set Realizing that there was some Incarnate farming exploits we'd like to not.. (Empyreans!!), the Alpha unlock for veterans is lost to time.

or... it's not a player.

Sounds right. A request/suggestion for something else can still be valid even if not currently supported.

Folks could use Agility to further Defense not Musculature. Previous post that had screen shots that showed +11% to self from Musculature:

Nope. Some sets may edge ahead. Is Cold THAT good in comparison to others, not really. Def vs -ToHit, AoE vs patches, +MaxHP vs Heal, buffs vs debuffs.. lots of ways to get the job done. I'd take a good ______ player over a FOTM chaser. If a player is a good /Cold pilot, it's good. If a player is a good /Dark, /Kin, /Traps, /etc pilot, they are good. Most players at high levels should be able to use Incarnates, Power Boost, DeBuffs, Burnout, etc..

Interesting. This looks different from a Paladin style. I could definitely work many Melees with Dark Miasma and love it. Twilight Grasp Tar Patch Darkest Night Howling Twilight Shadow Fall Fearsome Stare Petrifying Gaze skip Black Hole skip Dark Servant I agree with @biostem asking for the Defender numbers (support as a Primary) could make for stronger survivability.

Good catch, Psionic Dart got turned into a 60 foot 30 degree arc cone instead of the 100 foot fast single target attack. We can use Dominate Will instead, I'll update the build above.
