SeraphimKensai

Sure I suppose. On the condition, that those slots you gain that are unconnected to any powers, directly reduce the number of slots that you have available to ones that are connected to powers.

No hypothetical needed. There used to be a bug that allowed PBs to get infinite slots, to the point someone one shorted Hami The player base and original dev team unanimously agreed having more than 6 slots in a power was a bad idea.

For influence, I typically "farm" that via the Auction House. It's much more efficient than fire farming but requires a bit more coordination and planning. But you can make a S&L damage based farmer if you don't want a fire farmer. For farm missions you design the toon based on the mission, so if you want EBs or not has to be addressed, along with difficulty of mob, what powers they have, which map is used, whether it's ambushes/patrols or not. Then you have to decide between a Tanker/Brute or a different AT for that matter (or whether you are using multiple accounts for farming at the same time).

I don't think there's such a thing as an OP archer in the game unless we're not talking about Archery and only talking about either Trick Arrow or maybe Tactical Arrow.

Claws/stone, TW/Nin, or Axe/Ice all great.

The approved etiquette of using Fold Space is to: Look for @SeraphimKensai or any of his alts. If present stand next to him then pop off Fold Space. Failing SeraphinKensai's presence, then you do you. Seriously though if you have melee on a team, a Warshade, or anyone with something like soul drain, fold space to them. Nothing worse than popping eclipse, stygian circle, or soul drain and magically not having the density around you that you had a split second before.

I agree as then we have a race.

I have an arse/sonic that I like. I agree though that I've never seen an earth/sonic domi. It could be an interesting project pairing. There's enough control in earth for you to cc and lay into your targets, and the sonic res debuffs will help stoney hit harder.

I do like this pairing myself and only didn't suggest it due to it not having a targeted heal that the OP was looking for. That said the OP can always take the medicine pool if they really want and the ice shields reduce the need for healing to begin with.

I'd suggest plant/storm or plant/poison. You get tons of control, damage mitigation, and decent controller damage with plant. Storm gets you a team friendly stealth that also gives res/defense, debuffs, and a lot of damage output with tornado/lightning storm (place a kb to kd IO in your tornado to help your son playing melee). Poison gets you some of the strongest debuff powers in the game and really leans into just softening everything up for your pets/carrion and son to demolish. Other suggestions would be illusion/rad (a classic) or dark/cold (more control/debuffs, and also defense shields/more HP for your son). Also Dark Affinity is pretty amazing of a set.

I did a lvl 1-50 Praetorian run with an Electric Armor/Ice Melee Tanker solo. It was pretty fun. Eventually though I did bring him over to Primal Earth as it felt weird to only be able to do SBB and AE missions if I wanted to team once he was 50 and IO'd.

103 deaths in 2:16? Sounds like someone's role was to be bait for vengeance/fallout/mutation, but no one had recall so that person had to keep on rezzing to reposition.

Honestly I have an SG where 99% of my alts are in it and I'd be all for this as it would help me remember which toon is on which account (without opening Excel). I don't see any potential pitfalls of this proposed change and it seems like a QoL improvement, therefore.... +1.

I'd make him as a SR/SS tanker with Black Scorpion's mace for the cosmic control rod.

No, because you can't swap your alignment and become a Praetorian. Primal characters get awarded the Immortal Badge. Challenger of Gods is the badge for the same thing, just a different name for praetorian characters. @Xavek1 if you want Challenger of Gods, make a Praetorian badger. It's not uncommon for people to have multiple characters to be able to acquire all the badges in the game.
