You need to hit 18 to have a final ST attack chain. You need to hit 26 to have your AoE attack chain. Saying Claws is done at 12 is a giant ball of WTF are you doing?

You can upload builds onto test from Mids.

I'm mostly on a break as I am working on getting back into reading.

It did better than expected for Christmas. It will be interesting to see how it does long term. Audience scores are at 80% on RT despite the scores for reviews being so bad. Audience scores on Metacritic are much lower. I don't think it is fair to compare a superhero flick to non-ones in terms of how long they stay in the theater. More so when a number of those films were flat out better. Add in 66% of Aquaman 2's numbers are for worldwide. It isn't going to stick around domestically. I can't fathom the audience for this being willing to stick it around until May. We're living in a post Covid peak streaming world. Stuff doesn't stick in the theaters and more so if the reviews are bad.

I saw a Tweet from Zack and he basically mentioned the aspects of the movie. At no point was storyline mention. It's basically, "Yeah, I put a bunch of R rated content in it." I also find it interesting in the video posted above apparently the director's cut is coming and the 'better version.' Funny how he needs a director's cut to finally get it right.

Box Office Mojo shows $28.1. The point remains the same. Looks like The Marvels was $47 million in it's 3-day opening. At least DC can pull out the #1 movie in America trope for a week.

$9.2 million Friday. Saturday can pull in some decent numbers, but I can't imagine Christmas Eve doing much for the film.

A quick look shows if needs to pull in $400 million to break even. Good luck with that.

I didn't see the first one. I don't see a review on RT yet, which tends to be a death sentence. I can think of three movies I would rather see. I'm more curious to see how it does. More so considering The Marvels failing at the box office with at least decent reviews. And if you are wondering, Godzilla Minus One, The Boy and the Huron, and The Iron Claw.

I won't say the multi-verse is dead, but it is going to get trimmed back. Deadpool/X-Men will likely be the only remaining thread there. Squirrel Girl was tried in a New Warriors show and was dropped from a different studio before even being aired. Even Disney was given a shot to pick it up, and they passed on it. It's frustrating though in that Majors is a talented actor. It sucks, but Marvel has many more landings to figure out that are bigger worries. Doom/Fantastic Four likely gets its pace picked up.

You get Dark Consumption at 18. You don't need to worry about adding another toggle outside of the initial 3 until your 30s. Even on my Claws/sr Scrapper, just simply using the Body pool patched up any end issues if not being overkill, and I technically run 6 toggles. Swap in the Energy pool on a Brute. Maybe with SOs and some poor slotting, but a Dark/sr should not be having end issues.

I would have just popped a portal to my base.

8 month necro to beat that dead horse.

They might have meant two chances for a crit.

You posted a Tanker build in the Brute forum. Do you want a Tanker or a Brute?

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to mention Dark/sr. That's really a PB&J pairing.

That's fine when the nuke is up, and you forgot Tar Patch. I did put together a Dark/dark Defender only to see my end recovery was nil. I still haven't gone back and tweaked it yet because the current numbers outside of that was as good as I had seen for a Defender. If I can get the end fixed, I should be rather happy. In terms of the topic, support sets are in a incredibly good place right now regardless of the AT using them.

Fire screams needing End support so I would go /time, /dark, or /kin as well. There might be some others, but those stand out to me. At some point I need to do a minor tweak for slotting on my Fire/time and finish off Incarnates.

I don't have a SS or Savage/ea build, but I do have a Claws one which should be easy enough to port. Savage should be really easy to port since Hemorrhage is an easy skip similar to Evis. I would deem this a good build for general content. If you want something for 'any' map while doing max diff, then this isn't it. I still need to do some playtesting for a build in that regard. It's also fairly cheap and can be made cheaper without that much of a difference. I tend to make my builds in the $500 mill area. Note, I think I soloed it or darn near did to 50 and can do numerous maps at +3/x8 as I rather solo on that level versus max diff. I can. I just prefer not to. On a team? (chuckles) EA works decently with SS due to the end recovery. The Rage crash loss of Def is what it is. Without Remorse - Brute (Claws - Energy Aura).mbd

For soloing/duo, I would do Dark/cold or Dark/ea. Of the sets listed, I like Earth next, but the damage is low. It is just stellar on a team though.

It's getting a second season.

Devs don't really ever say what they are working on, I honestly would be fine if it was just shorter. Yin feels like the proper length for a low level TF.

As per the spoiler side of the review, it is a hat tip as to what people characterize the main character as.

Tough to tell how good the video aspect is when I can't even watch it in 4k. From what I can see it is still a bit on the cartoon side of things.

I find Gravity an okay set. I know Ice doesn't get much love, but I would likely be more tempted to try it versus doing Grav again. I'm just confirming what has said above. If you haven't done Dark, do so. In the case of Ice/dark, Dark will support your end bar which Ice will try to murder. It really shouldn't be difficult to come up with theme for those two sets either.
