Here's a link to the video that got my Steam Controller running back in the day. My worry is that the "future" launcher won't enable the Steam Controller

discontinuing support for Tequila My only concern is that Tequila is being dropped. Currently Tequila links to steam which fully enables my Steam Controller. The Steam Controller is unique because unlike other controllers it has a mouse pad built in.

Soldiers now have the correct powers assigned and revoked per upgrade Equip Mercenaries: Applies ASMG Heavy Burst, does not grant Assault Rifle Heavy Burst Tactical Upgrade: Now applies all Assault Rifle powers and removes ASMG powers appropriately

Recently did the Red Side respec and brought back all those memories of teams desperately trying and failing the quitting. Exactly as you said "the precise type of builds which did not need a respec" Anyway now I've set it as a "goal" for all my alts to run it...

The patch notes make it sound like the first pet upgrade is a waste of time if you have the second upgrade or did I read it incorrectly?

That's why I was taking a closer look at slotting. PA doesn't get any external buffs so what you slot is what you get. Currently I plan to respec and Franken-Slot A/D X4 when I hit level 18. I don't Power Level, so at level 32 I'll reassess whether the Pet or PA would get the Resist Proc, Defense Proc and as you mentioned Soulbound BU.

I use to think MM's and Corruptors were weak, then I made a Illusion Controller. Now I am VERY happy with my new MM's and Corruptors. That doesn't mean I gave up on Illusion. I don't Power Level. After trying many combinations I'm down to Ill/Dark and Ill/Rad and PA is coming up soon. Remember the point is to have fun. You can make anything work.

Sounds like our playstyles are opposites so I'd recommend an Illusion Controller. My main is Dominator, which is the entire reason I jumped into Illusion since it isn't a Dom option. With Ice or Ele Controller Primaries I wouldn't have to change much from my Dom playstyle , but Illusion is a whole different ballgame.

You're correct. I just checked my MM and Dom pets, selecting the pet and then selecting combat attributes only shows the external (environment) buffs but not the internal (slot) buffs. You have to select the power or the slotting screen to actually see the internal buffs. The only time combat attributes shows both internal and external buffs is when you select yourself. And of course, Phantom Army doesn't get any external buffs.

I'd recommend either Dark or Rad.

What Archetypes are you familiar with? You can make anything work.

Accuracy and Damage io's buff the "power" but when you select a phantom and view its combat attributes, accuracy and damage are not buffed. Am I missing something? Otherwise, this would suggest that I just slot Recharge io's in the Phantom Army power as anything else would be ineffective.

Started a new alt the other day and teamed. He wondered why I was running the Mercy Arc and suggested we play his higher level content. I just commented that I'm not interested in the race to 50. I'm here to have fun. He can leave the team if he wants. He stayed.

On the launcher add -cov to the launch parameters.

I'm not a Scrapper. All of my Stalker's are Assassin's. Strike Hard. Strike Fast. No Mercy.
