I will say of the Def based armors, Ice has come across as the weakest, but I only recently gotten the T9, and I'm still learning how to slot Ice in general. I've taken EA to 50 four times across all ATs. I've done SR to 50 twice both being Scrappers. I have one level 50 Shield Scrapper, and I'm working on a couple of Shield Tankers. I had a Ice/ice Tanker back on Live, but it only got into the 30s. It used common IOs, and I exclusively grouped on it.

Ice is Type based Def so trying to get Positional Def out of it isn't the best way forward. I think posting your build would help. I had to check, and my Scrapper is soloing at +1x5 and they are level 31. Claws/ice for record, and Claws offers a nice amount of mitigation via KD. I haven't done it yet, but sticking a Avalanche: +Chance for KD wouldn't be a bad thing to put in Icicles.

I should have said you being a Corr means you should really look at more Leadership. Assault is an easy single slot. Tactics doesn't take much. Vengeance is an Easy LotG: +Recharge slotting. since you would lose Weave.

I would die on the hill that Claws is what KM should have been and Claws is what Savage is. Claws with ranged attacks? WTF? I did the powerset break down recently in General between Claws and KM because it is that close in terms of fit. Not numbers. Oh no. Certainly not numbers. If I had to die on any hill for KM, I would pick Assassin due to getting AS or Tanker as mentioned due to larger AoEs. In terms of the Repulsing Torrent, yes it needs a KB to KD IO, but that's not really the issue. The issue is doing 30.667 DPA with essentially the same numbers for Recharge and End as Shockwave and yet Shockwave does 55.29 DPA with FU boosting it even more, and FU can stack. You should easily be looking at Shockwave being double the DPA of Repulsing Torrent. Shockwave also roughly animates in half the time. All I'm saying is, when the game balance party happened, the person representing KM wasn't mentally all there.

I do far more of just tossing in whatever IOs I have at those levels and eventually I will pop a respec once I know the character better. Even if I plan a build out in Mid's, I think one of the last builds I finalized took 5+ passes to finally figure out, and it took playing the build with Incarnates to do final configuration.

It's unfortunate they already have J. K. Simmons doing Spider-Man films as he would be a great Ross.

FYI, the build is old. I'm currently running it with it being at 50, but I am playing around with the build and taking notes for what changes I would make in a revamp.

A recent favorite for me is the Sorcery pool since it gets you Rune of Protection, but that is also depends on the build and ones which are Def based so adding in Res is welcomed. You might want to look at things like moving the slot from Tough with the Impervium Armor IO and sticking a 6th slot into the snipe. You lose 1.5% Psi Resist, but gain 4.5% Toxic Res. Tar Patch as slotted has a duration of 45 seconds and a recharge of 24.18s. I don't recall Tar Patch being able to self stack so the second Recharge is overkill. I tend to find 6-slotting Purples to be overkill since Damage and Recharge are over the ED cap. You could easily move things around to 6-slot Spirit Drain and come away with near 40% ranged Def, and that's likely the one Def stat you care about the most.

General Thunderbolt Ross is old. The actor before him was 71. I don't know how much they expect to use Red Hulk anyway. Once they get voice work done, Red Hulk is essentially just CGI. If I'm Marvel, I'm cranking out as much voice work as I can from Ford. My guess is Marvel just wants him for the end of the current phase with a possible appearance in a long in the making Hulk film.

Disney hasn't said. Even when asked midseason, so a month ago, the showrunner had no answer.

After minor investigation on my part. the showrunner is open to having another season. It certainly has potential to be even better.

Season Ender. That was hardly wrapped up neatly. I liked the episode. It still feels decent but uneven overall.

Spirit Drain is woefully underslotted. The less than .7/s End gain is also problematic. I know you get Dark Consumption, but still. Howling Twilight is better slotted with a -Res proc and Damage procs. Not having Dark Servant hurts my soul.

Well, you did betray him. 😄 I've ranted before how some missions done solo are built to fail. This is just more geared towards a MM to fail.

I understand why they skipped years, but it seems like they are just making each season longer and longer as part of a way to make up for it. An actress on the show said each episode of the final season is 2 hours long. The show hits far more often than it misses, but I think its asking a lot to do two season's worth of content into one. More so when the primary complaint from last season was how long the episodes were. I know I will do a rewatch at some point. I just don't know if it will be post the final season or not. I don't think the D+ shows are really intended to be normal series. They are there to introduce a character and not much else. A number of series could honestly be shorter. It wouldn't be the worst idea to just a D+ movie versus a theatrical one.

It's actually 17. I don't ever recall having end issues with taking Hasten early, but then I know how to slot out builds and have the currency to do so.

I don't get taking Confront unless there is a solid reason for it even if that is concept. Swapping in Assault would be an easy add, but since you want Whirlwind that's likely the one to do it with. I don't have slotting tips for it, but the overall numbers look solid. Considering the benefits of the Critical Strikes set, is there valid reason for not using it?

There's zero reason to 3-slot: Assault, as 1 End Reduc is enough. Hasten, as 2 Level 50 Recharges are close enough to 3-slotting it with +3 SOs. And as pointed out, there is zero need for Hasten in this build. Resurgence unless you really do plan on dying THAT much. I honestly don't take self rezzes, ever. The Energy Mastery gives you two powers which boost End and if your attacks are only from the Fighting Pool you will already be swimming in End. Mighty Leap isn't giving you much. I would at least take Weaken Resolved as you can toss some procs into it. You could take Unleashed Potential for the +Regen and +Def. I mean, various concept builds are underperforming on some level. See BillZ's successful attempt at using 1 attack on auto to get to level 50, but I wouldn't even build or slot it how you are attempting to do.

71 on Metacritic and with a 5.4 on a user score.

Note, EA is more difficult to cap than SR or Shield due to being type based versus positional. EA is still in the running for best armors. I have three at 50. I'm less a fan of Rad melee though, and I have two at 50.

Play a Stalker. People won't really have any expectations from you outside of taking out bosses since that's essentially what your job is. You can be helpful in ghosting missions and TPing the team to the end if need be. I like a number of options for a Stalker, but if I had to pick one, Ice/stone is stupid good. I need to get mine to 50 at some point. I also obviously enjoyed my ride to 50 with my StJ/ea Stalker. CU is just a fun power.

Defenders get better support numbers and depending on the blast set, the numbers there might not be THAT different. I will absolutely pick a Defender over a Corr in various cases. That said, Fire Blasts and Kin are auto defaults for picking a Corr.

And? You prove my point.

I found E6 a bit boring to be honest and a bit lackluster considering the previous episode. There's 8 episodes total and that's what they serve up for E6? Pretty much any other series by E6 is doing the ramp up. This felt like an episode you do in the first half of the series. The showrunner I believe at one time said they had ideas for more seasons. I'm not sure they have enough for 1. Do a series like Echo which was 6 episodes, and it felt much better than this.

But, why? I joked how Gladiator felt like Braveheart II, so I guess this is Braveheart III.
