As you indicated your goal is to have fun. So the best any of us can offer is: "you do you". What's fun to you is going to be different than what's fun for me or the next person, so if you have fun with your character that's the important piece. You might just want to build it out on the test server for free and see if you have fun playing it and adjusting from there if necessary.

The part you quoted was, the previous portion wasn't as I had to prepare it by fixing the autocorrect.

Here's an even more fun fact: exemp is not a word, but exempt is, and thus autocorrect will automatically correct exemp to exempt. Further by exemplaring in the game you are exempting yourself from your character's level, allowing you to play with others without skewing the playability of their mission too far, and therefore are exempt in that regards.

Yes attuning would allow it to be slotted, but for very rates and pvp IOs besides a proc, attuning them actually is a decrease in efficiency as they are designed to auto exempt down to lvl 10.

Pinnacle did have a lot of drunk heroes on it. I had villains on that server and anytime I entered Bloody Bay, Siren's Call, Warburg, or RV heroes just magically kept passing out in front of me.

There's a lot of fun ways to debuff mobs. Poison, Dark, Storm, Cold, and Rad are probably my favorite primaries for debuffing in that order. I typically pair with sonic, rad, or elec for debuffing secondaries on a defender.

We read just fine, but we also drink, and these little phones are so fragile that pushing the button can easily smash the glass and then it's tougher to read.

Try it out on the test server and see if you can live with it.

When CoX went dark, the ATs I found myself missing the most were the Kheldians as the lore behind them had so much potential, yet their implementation felt squandered. I'm a big fan of Venom and Spawn so Kheldians felt a bit like that with a splash of the GLC thrown into the pit for seasoning. Otherwise during the Live era, I got a deranged satisfaction tasting the salt from the tears of pvpers that tried to kill my pvp team in vain. I mained a pvp empath and I probably am a little messed up in the head from it, like a person who willingly becomes a goalie in hockey. Now a days, for PVE I actually enjoy my random integer generator to give me an AT, and my primary/secondary/epic pools. I only get to choose the normal power pools and then I have fun making a competitive toon out of chaos.

Back in the days of Guardian, we had a weekly event called the Guardian wars, which was basically 2-4 large sgs fighting it out but we welcomed everyone, and the event population would have the zone at capacity often times. Of the hardcore guardian pvp community we used to flip from heroes to villains and back to try and keep the zone relatively even so one side wouldn't feel that they were getting royal reamed. That was super fun. We also used Warburg for FFA events as it didn't matter if you were hero or villain. I will admit we didn't use Bloody Bay too much aside of getting Shivans and the occasional lowbie fights.

I'm all for instanced versions of the Hami raid. My SG used to do private raids all the times back on live, and members of the public would occasionally come in and grief us. Would also help facilitate unique challenges like the 8 stalker Hami kill from Indomitable a couple years ago.

I personally build my domis to have permadom for the Penny Yin TF. Once that is done I ramp up survivability. Doing so often requires Hasten.

Just saw this thread and immediately had the thought "Why the hell haven't I paired Bio and Read Melee together yet?" I'd make sure to work in an Achilles proc as well.

Fixed it for you.

My fav corruptor is likely my ice/dark/dark. I also enjoy my fire/cold/dark, and my elec/kin/elec. All three combos can be built pretty solid. I mean all three of them can solo monster hunt.

I haven't tested to see how or if PA inherits active buff assault radial, but if they do that would likely be the way to go, as the only other way to increase their damage iirc is by their slotting (including procs). Control is fairly meh on an ill/traps, Support benefits your Phantasm and you.

@InvaderStych In mids, when you're about to slot an IO into a power, hover your mouse over it first and then hit the plus or minus key on your keyboard to adjust an individual IO's boosting. Once you've hit plus 5 times click on it and the slotted IO will be a +5 boosted IO.

Is it just me or does the top image look similar to Mary Elizabeth Winstead?

Not only does it have a damage aura, but also an aura that debuffs npc resistances, and can proc bomb DNA Siphon which further reduces mob's regen. That said Burn is a helluva drug. So you could always test both sets performance out on controlled tests on the Test Server, and report back your findings.

I personally went the stalker route: although it won't crit because it's a pseudopet, Shield Charge doesn't break hide, so you can get a immediately follow-up with an attack for a guaranteed crit right after. The combo works pretty well together.

As a Wild fan living in the Lightning's Market, I feel you on this.

A Peacebringer can slot most of their attacks for Knockback, and this fit in-kd enhancements in a number of attacks. Plus you can aim for Perma Lightform/Hasten, and proc out Whirlwind for more knockdown.

Built for what? There are so many possible ways to build an beam/energy blaster. I think you should expand on your post with what your goals are, what I nd of content you plan to use it for, and then take a stab at a mids build to see how you do towards meeting your goals.

Sadly I didn't win enough to bank roll the servers for the next three years. I got the big goose egg.

Sadly you can't always get what you want...But if you try sometimes you might just find...you get what you need. Honestly that would be the most villainous NPC of all time.
