Poor MA, is that the only set now with 0 AOE now that EM got readjusted?

I cast a vote for revamp of TFs but I'd like for that discussion to include that SFs have a huge glaring hole at 30-35. Redside could also use a lowbie (Posi-like) as well. The 8-15 range goes by so fast that a lowbie SF doesn't seem as needed but I'll save that discussion for that thread. My only point here is that a tf thread also include SFs and lack thereof.

YES! I'm 100% with you. I wanted to include a request for some measure of volatility (SD) but thought I'd start off small...

By and large, I do like the market in its current state. After a year and a half, there's been basically no notable inflation, mostly due to downward forces that have been mentioned above. The main thing I'd like for new functionality is - more data, more data, more data. If I had carte blanch I'd have some means to access the sales history data to query as I wish but I have no expectation of that. What would be nice would be a way to dig deeper. A button to show last 100? I'd be content to have a high and low sale from the last 100, especially if it comes time stamped.

Anyone know what a Sentinel gets for 'cuda? It's not in the HC wiki.

I "believe" in what the evidence unequivocally shows in that thread I linked. I'm not going to debate that evidence here, take it to that thread if you're able to disprove any and/or all of the evidence displayed there.

That's a link to a whole thread with many examples. I suggest reading that rather than just commenting on the image used to represent the thread, your "coulda beens" are dispelled with many examples.

This is not a "fixed in i13" thing. CoT used to drop whatever pool it is that includes the Achille's Heel proc (not going to look it up). When I say "used to" I'm talking about on September 14th when Cavern was last WST and I ran it literally scores of times, each time receiving a recipe. Was receiving a recipe an error? I don't know but I didn't see anything about fixing this in patch notes between mid September and now.

Fix this bug I have other thoughts, other suggestions regarding the market and its interface but nothing compares to the urgency I think this bug deserves. At the very least I'd like to hear some communication on why the devs have so far deemed this to not be worth fixing.

I have a Cold/Sonic. It's an outstanding combo, elite even, my nomination for best buff/debuffer in the game.

Ultimately the answer is "whatever you want to play", it's a great debuffer on its own but there is a synergy between -res and (+dmg and -dmg). Oh hey that's what Kinetics does. Other primaries with +dmg and -dmg would be Thermal, Nature, Rad and Traps (maybe others I missed). ETA - I mistakenly included Traps, which only has a source of -DMG. Still good with Sonic, but shouldn't have been included on my list of +/-DMG powersets.

I'm having to do redo captchas even after I open the page, go do other things then come back 30 (15 maybe) minutes later and have to do it all over again. If this is indeed some temporary anti-DDoS measure, fine, but otherwise it's annoying as heck.

I just noticed this too. 6 runs, 0 drops.

I happened to finish mine a few minutes ago, starting with a blank Mids. Will check yours out.

I see this thread originated over a month ago and OP is probably done with t4 incarnates by now. If I had noticed this thread, I would have suggested something/Regen. I have a /Bio and really dig it, but Regen plays so differently than on the melee ATs (it's GOOD!) that it's worth checking out.

Still flashing for me. Though this happened when I first logged on, I'm not seeing it any more.

I confess to not reading prior comments, so I'll possibly be posting thoughts already conveyed. This is fresh on my mind, Mercs was a recent "grind to 50 then take all iPowers to t4" so I spent a good amount of time with these dudes. One word sums it up - damage. Make it two words - pitiful damage. Every fight was a slog. I can't provide numbers but I've seen them elsewhere on the forums in this regard and Mercs were just abysmal. On to other things. Serum - may be the worst utility power any MM has. I took it, muled some resist uniques in it and called it a day. Something with a 60 second uptime with a 1,000 (THOUSAND) second recharge better be an amazing power. It ain't. I'd probably use it just for yucks if not for the crash but I'd rather have a minion stay active than 60 seconds of "god mode" followed by a period of thumb twiddling. Serum may have more utility if one pet could do tanker duties but they can't. So, outside of "cottaging" Serum, my suggestion would be A#1 - take away the crash. Nerf the resists if needed. Heck, nerf it more and make it aoe. Suggested change - mag protections = 4, resists = let's say 20 (as a starting point). Set recharge = 400 or 360. I'm finding it hard to elucidate my issues with the medic. The utility he adds just seems suspect. Just so I'm not a completely negative Nelly - the Commando has my favorite entrance of any MM minion. Also I found M30 to be a good opener that's good for proccing. I never took the two ST attacks.

So far, and I haven't examined all that i27 has to offer by any means, one item in "the good" perhaps even "the great" is lowbie SOs. I'm a lowbie grinder, not even DFBs for me, and having SOs before 22 is incredible. It's even got me rethinking my normal slotting strategy, which is to make a beeline to the recharge bonus in a set's ATOs and perhaps 5 slot Panacea if I had a lowbie heal, but I'm finding 1 Acc 2 Dmg SOs gives legit performance that may even surpass having a head start on global recharge. The enhancement values of the ATOs still gets reduced to nigh nothing and for strict enhancement values, the SOs are way better. Time for some figgerin'...

I finally sold the last of my Winter Packs from last year. I didn't even remember they were still around on any character but it occurred to me to check and lo and behold, there was a stash. I did manage to sell them all so now I'm at zero. I don't do ANY marketeering but I do jump on easy money for no effort when the opportunity arises so, assuming a sale, I'll repeat last year's tactic of using about 90% of liquidity to buy the packs. Sell 1/3 when the price returns to 25M. Open about 1/3. Keep 1/3 for a rainy day to eventually sell before the next event.

Here we gooooo! If you've ever said "I'd like to do Praetorian arcs, but there are no teams" well here's your chance. We did Praetoria a few teams ago as well and kept doing content on into First Ward and Night Ward. Some of this can be notably challenging but we like that. Looking forward to seeing the regulars and newcomers alike this Sunday (22-Nov)!

I wrote a post about demon/cold and how the shields aren't just def and demons aren't just resists and how they actually intertwine quite nicely. To answer the question directly, the passive mitigation makes the Demon heals sufficient for the most part.

@Troyusrexare you up to your shenanigans again, even if on a much smaller scale? It seems like someone is sporadically dumping rares. Not the massive influx like the topic of this thread, but I noticed some 100k sales so I put in my bids and then see some get filled, some time passes with no sales, then some more filled. Looks like this isn't going to have an effect on my in-game net worth like the last time but thought it notable to see rares get to 100k again.

Set for x/2 works, period. I go from 0 to badge every single time at this setting.

I wouldn't give up on Kin. Slot Repel with an SA kb2kd IO and it's a surprising amount of mitigation. Kin definitely makes good use of Fortify Pack. As the saying goes "it gets better" and few things are better than FSing beasts. I really implore you to not give up in your 20s when becoming a speed fueled death machine is just a few levels away.
