You can get rid of boxing or brimstone armor. Losing boxing will lose some bonus to cross punch and losing brimstone armor will lose a bit of psionic res. If I had to pick, I'd drop the brimstone armor and pickup TP foe if that's a power you want.

Several of us who normally speed run content did second SO/HO builds. No incarnates allowed. Was fun. We still sped through the content but we ran together as a group and had a tank/brute with taunt, a therm, kin, bubbler and a few others. Not difficult by any stretch but was fun and nostalgic.

+1 very much appreciate your time and efforts here. You’re the hero we need but don’t deserve.

It does seem like nerd rage. Hopefully it comes back.

I have 10s of great toons, top of mind, all unstoppable in their own rights: fire/atomic blaster (softcapped to most typed, fun and fast) fire/time corr (Softcapped positionals, great buffs, debuffs) Nature/water defender (melee and ranged softcapped, great buffs and debuffs, 2 heals) Poison/sonic defender (close to 150% -res opportunity against targets) stone/granite tank (39.5 mph in granite, defense and res softcapped)

Use beast run or ninja run then from the p2w vendor. If your toon isn’t a beast or ninja, pretend that he or she used to be and they’re trying to curb those tendencies but can’t quite do it.

Nature/water defender is one of my favorites. Synergistic and a beast at 50 with the right build. Softcapped to melee and ranged with good resistance, end recovery, buffs, debuffs, Regen, heals, blah blah blah. Hands down, the best toon in my roster.

Both are great with the right build. The only benefit to rad it has stronger debuffs but my blaster is one of my favorite toons. Maybe roll one of each? Or pair something else up with the rad or blaster if you didn’t want two fire blast toons.

Thugs/Dark MM with Burnout. Double gangwar and double HT all day, every day.

This is my poison/sonic build... he nasty. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1457;683;1366;HEX;| |78DA6594C953135110C6DF2C21241008B2EF1084204820EADD52504B592A10F59A1| |AC38053C69954325872F40FF08C4BB9960BB81D64BB82CBDD33585A7A53CBE5E27A| |3076A63F83D64C65F2CB7CDFEB79DDFDDECBE8D9A1D24787CEED1552D9604ACB661| |343FA946E4EEA19EF9866CF64B494C85F5EBAABFE3A89FD335353919865642DB3A9| |204E68E6B43E19895BA6914CECB36D2D794A54C42C2B15396C9E31B2C6092365D8B| |37E4789A7757D32E0FC3C684C9FB40D73BAD4791AD1B5343D341E481BC9C8A095C9| |CCA46D2B9318D5923A7D656D3D335B47A974D19DEB12B872B2589785A85485AC284| |234135FD07354151B72618C47CCAB8EA62E80F79845F7C107CCE2874C111642E258| |55F22AEC1533FD3ED0CF2C2D616ED27C0A6294394298BC0BCCB28BE02566F032F32| |5C57810E35914CE7B824BCC6DCBE00AB36A9519A0F5F03AC9E584B75A72B410693E| |D6245F2FC6831DE495F01C52C906F7A66F93594E5E803D11C0BB5E91558EBE953FE| |6DA6A16C12566DD32B8C26C5865AAD4B70ACEC353B1C6BD6C5867B63C019F32DB9E| |81CF99AFF3CB88792B6F717E6DB799ED77C0797081D9719779BE53886AD458DD80B| |AC1DFB4576A9153ED38D7D837C1EC8F834799D163E071A687EAA9474EF55F31E737| |E6F6EFE00FF027B3EB1753A2DE3672ACD218238454D1340E4E305BE2CC1A1ADB8CF| |56BC63A8487B9A74594432BD6A8157BFD0D2184BC4257B8CEF055F01A73C775F006| |7893F996623B11DB9962ADE7346882EF64E72CED7C0F7E60A629A56EE4D98D3CFB8| |24C856AE885D79B6F783E6E17F60579117811C4F5234EA6FA0650DF00F66C935A38| |BBF4A14B0CF714945C8FCB1D70295197B2DBA5EC7129232E652CAF70E6B9985AF85| |71092E3FA8285339FFBE82757FAD7FDBCA548D211C939F1D176EEC827D7E82F5B8A| |2CCD612FB589FFF8070B1EEE23| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

All my toons (male) run around in their underwear. Makes things easier. That and I use face #2. You're welcome... and good luck.

Nice build, extremely solid base. I am a fan of softcapepd defenses so I made the 2 changes suggested above along with a few others and Agility. This softcaps me to ranged. I'm not sure how much defense is lost from superior invisibility once engaged but I may still be able to eek out softcap for ranged. With ageless, my guess is PA will be perma, even with diminishing returns. Ice arrow is nice for the cheap bonuses. I figure if shit hits the fan, it'll be nice to be dodging attacks left right and center. Again, thank you. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1481;693;1386;HEX;| |78DA6594D94F135114C6E776A660CB5604CA5A81964D6A2B55DF8DB2B9405285A07| |1AB4D2930B1D2660A02BEF92FF882CB831A2388263EFB4F9868E2F2E2BB89CAE2F2| |64A2F574BE0FDAA49336BFDEEF7E67CEB9E7DEDBF1E5A1CA57A3778E6BCA33988A6| |7B3B1C1F4FC82954EA59296733C3E6B26B4FC532EDF406166D7143E9D4A2D66CDF4| |FCAED05AE439B93833139EB4CCC48DD809CB4A2F6955D1B4848C98B3730BE6FC6CA| |53D1A4BC6333270DB83894C32395DB3AB4F27ADEC9C99A91FCE988970349FC54CC4| |C6E3D985A4B5D224F5F4C9F7B1D2F8E49C9A4F103134475C449FA11937953D36867| |59B65A71D36DBE8B30AB1863689B9B228B8EF1C791E744F804F2446319FBA0ECD71| |8D9E38587985BC0A56C7E89326EA88D5F49C3C9A5714A782E26C40B54F05E5D01CE| |5D43C6E707F35F848E062E5AE5541AFCCDD03EBEF930F40EF43D02FB92AF05E5511| |CC77C0A53591BACC553167D51174AB298C5C2DFDECA2786AE8A9615D2D67E16D635| |DCF04B5EC4EED36567DE027F98BFC0176EC90BFC12589AD636C5D996EEF60C71BCC| |75BEC68E75FA91AFF30B1870386DDE92D806F6A3E13262BC17C1C0147909ECBA00D| |6CA7A1AB99E46AEA78B7DEEE17AD604CDACA9F92572F6AC912FC0DEE7E43AD8BF01| |2E4B6C2B62556B10F5F7927592DBC77DF76DA09E7519B73357FB57F80E7E23BF939| |B60681B8C6C812B12EBE7FAFD0A3DE992436DD7F397FC0786D8B380D4D0CDD3D8FD| |1935BCD571ABF25A1F7B725B10E4BB83C3F01D1A224F91A36068045C94983062F4F| |07B87BD97873F901FC94FE03BC939C07D1868C4CD8DF0EC4578F6DA8CBD9B2A9FFC| |CDF115945C7FC9EC40891229518E9628C74A94B162A50FBD8E1A7BFF009AB25D2EC| |FDEBDCE6DBA65963BAB4288D82E684A9D51F66DAC9EC2CAB68AFDF6DB768ADDABE8| |A7E72E9837E456E5964498EE8F577EC39CFB0F1AC8EF6A| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

He just needs to fix the way he talks and acts and then he'll be successful.

My group did it with SO/HO only builds, no incarnates. grav/kin troller therm/dark defender fire/kin corrupter ff/rad defender fire/fire blaster inv/ss tank ice/cold corrupter I don’t remember #8 but it was a ranged toon. Solid team, solid speed run, no deaths. Going to do the LRSF next. We 3 manned the STF as well with some pimped out builds so 5 manning it is totally doable.

Why not fix the exploit itself instead of solving it with a sledgehammer?

That's awesome. I only took cross punch because it looked great slapping enemies across their faces with a big granite hand. And the sound is cool too. Appreciate it.

Huh, I never knew about "Fighting Synergy". Thanks. I farm too much, I have 52 50s, most built, I have maybe 10 that are decked out with ATOs and purples and what-not. Others I have built out a bit more cheaply, supported by incarnates to fill gaps but still decent builds. Or ranged defense toons, etc. I don't usually run lower level stuff but I should. I have too many toons and I haven't gone back on any to get accolades... another thing I should do. I'll have to read up on this "Fighting Synergy".

I got the base empowerment buff with my current build, went from 36.13 to 38.99. There's so much about this game I don't know. 🙂

Wow, that's a great look, Bopper. I never saw that Unbounded leap gave the 6% runspeed. Originally just went all out for run speed and then defense fell into place. I'm not sure if I'll use ATOs and purples for this toon, but I might get there. I like this look a lot. Appreciate your time and efforts. That's what I love about this game, there are hundreds of ways toons can be built. Thank you. Hyperstrike, thank you for your build as well.

Softcapped to all typed defenses except psionic with Agility Radial Paragon (run speed boost provided by this as well). Near hardcapped to all resists except psionic. 36.13 mph in granite, decent end recovery. Took ageless for fun-sies and fill in gaps when both hasten and rage drop. End recovery vs end use is lacking a little Reasonably priced build Edit: moved taunt down to a single slot and added a slot to sprint to eek out another 6% (the last of the 6% run speed bonuses) Rage crash stinks due to -20% defense for 10 seconds but despite that, I'm happy with the build. Mids run speed numbers are off. Synapse unique does not reflect the boost to run speed. Also the 2 slotted swift has +5 boosted run speed IOs in it instead of straight up 50s. Hasten recharge IOs are +5 as well, although less important.

You can't control how anyone behaves. Are regular bats a bad idea? What about skimpy outfits? People are going to ruin everything. This is just the latest thing. Hopefully "cancel culture" doesn't fuck things up. Just ignore it. Remove the channel from the tab for the time being and move on.

I have some “odd” toon names. NPC in Cimerora: Nobody can defeat Herpes! Different toon... Vanguard security: Not so fast Numbnuts, I need to see some identification. I also have a toon named Enormous Genitals and Fart monster but the above two NPC quotes come to mind.

Maybe on April fool's day they'll roll back the influence changes? Better yet, cut them in half again, then return them to the new normal on April 2nd.

I heard about a team that skipped the long Aeon cutscene in the STF (2nd mission, 2nd cutscene) using an exploit (I guess it's an exploit) and it worked. No spawn issues, no nothing so maybe this can be revisited to see if the same flag used in the BAF (as an example) can be used here? Thanks, Dave

I used it a few months ago to track influence per hour when comparing multiple methods. Unless something has changed, it works. I don’t remember if I had to use a specific plugin, but if I did, I found the information within these forums. On the surface, seemed to be really good.
