That's quite interesting. Any chance you've done additional testing on Elec since its revamp?

I took two shakes to glance at the new Mace, "Power Maul," last night. It's cool, always glad to see mor tech-themed hittin' sticks. But unless I'm wrong, it seems to only inherit a single color. Any chance it could get two color values, one for the weapon and one for the energy glow?

Fair enough. I mean, I'm not really invested in that power for damage, but if it's there, I'll take it. Got an Ice^3 Dom that'll be keen to kick the tires on these changes.

How much does it do compared to Bonfire (which seems to me to be its closest comp)?

I have one I worked up as a Brute, but should be easily adapted to Scrapper. I'm at work but I'll try to remember to post it later.

Thanks so much! Take your time on the second list, I've got a full-enough dance card. 🙂 So if I change over to Hero, and do The Pilgrim's arc in Flashback, it'll send me to the Villain version instead of the Hero one? Thanks again, Generator

Hey there, So I've got a rogue character on whom I'm starting to get more serious about badging. I'm in the process of going around the figurative horn, doing tip missions, changing to each alignment, staying there for its requisite week. Is there a list anywhere of badges that can only be acquired as a hero? I ask because I clearly have two of them at the top of my "Closest to Completion" tracker (Task Force Commander, and the one for Day-Jobbing the Shadow Shard), and I figure I should get those all knocked out while I'm in the Hero/Vigilante side of the spectrum. Thanks, Generator

Yeah the new +Per IO, it's in the new TP set they made. I haven't looked too closely, but could you spare whatever's in White Dwarf Step to put it in there?

The "Shattered Jar of Flesh" tip mission drove that point home for me earlier this week. 🙂

Wow! Play them out, Johnny! 😁

The only reason I haven't played my Elec^2 Corr to do exactly this is because 80% of my logged in time since this Page released was spent doing the exact same thing on my Elec Sentinel and Blaster. 😄 Bottom line, I'm really digging the new changes, across all ATs.

Thanks to both of you, I'll try to digest what you put down here over the next little bit.

I don't recall, do your powers go on cooldown when you swap builds?

I can't recall, when you level the B-side, do you get the "Chutes and Ladders" action, where when you hit 24 it zips you back down to 1 to start again?

Wait, don't tell me, I've heard this one before... 😄

Yikes. Bad flashbacks to 2004-me trying to find the Tech SO contact in Founders Falls, and subsequently deciding that the east end of the zone was to thereafter be called "Sniper Alley." Flah forward a week or so, a new friend asking me where the Tech SO guy is, and I was like, "I'll tell you, but you can't make me go!" 🙂

I get that, but as much as we all like to joke about altitis, I'm up over 50 chars on my main server, and I'm getting to the point where I'd like to maybe keep the roster bloat a little under control.

Hey there, So I've got a Fortunata, and she's fun, I play her every so often when my alt-crush goes to her. I've only ever played her as a Fort, even back on Live I never actually played a Widow as a Night Widow. I'm thinking, instead of rolling up a whole separate character, ust use the dual-build function to make the Night Widow the second build o my Fortunata. I honestly don't see a reason to not do it this way, versus making a second character. Do you think I'm missing something? If so I'd love to hear your two cents. Thanks, Generator

Hey folks, Just like it says in the title, I'm working up my PB after ignoring her a while. She's up to 46 in the build linked below. I'm hoping that any of you might take a look and see if there's room to clean the build up a bit. I'd like to generally keep the same power choices I've got but if there are ways to make enhancements and such more "streamlined", that's great. I'm not averse to moving a few slots here and there either, if it means a better end product, TIA Generator This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.0.10 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

I'm trying to blow the thick layer of dust off my PB, and in the course of some research, came across this thread. If I may ask, you don't miss the T1 blast being usable in Dwarf form? Also, does Solar Flare have enough pop to be useful with only the one slot? Thanks for your time.

Hey everyone! So here's another design of mine that needs a little work. Meet the Crimson Cyclotron, a Rad^2 Tanker. Simple premise, guy who used tech lifted from his day job at Terra Volta to build a kinda-sorta-usable power suit to defend his work buddies. (Side note: if you've never heard it, go listen to Johnny Cash's song, "One Piece At A Time", it gives you a feel for the vibe I'm going for here, and also it's just a great, fun song!) I kind of need to push this suit in two different directions. First, I need a "Mk 1" version of the suit. The kind of version that really, really doesn't look like it's up to code. Guy walks into the Galaxy City tutorial wearing a suit like that, even the Shivans start eyeing the exits, and Back Alley Brawler is thinking to himself, "Man, if Ray ever wore a suit that shoddy, Steel Canyon could lose power and you'd still have enough light to read by!" Then in the other direction, show me what you've got for a good, finished product, high-tech looking suit. The only parameter to keep in mind is keep it tech, and keep the red as the primary color. Thanks in advance for your time! Generator

Thanks. I had a lot of fun writing both of those, especially Olympias' contemptuous take on Odysseus. 😄

Man those were right in my wheelhouse! Two of my favorite Rogues were made by the simple concept of "Women from factions where there are no female mobs." 🙂 From the Warriors, Olympias (WM/EA Brute): And from the Outcasts, Ann Ionic (Elec^2 Sentinel, shown here telling Meg Mason what she thinks of the PPD's work in the Hollows):

"Brilliant" is a colossal understatement.

Didn't you mean, "well-timed Ionic Judgement...?" 🤪
