Odds are far greater you get on a steamrolling team versus a struggling one.

If you want info on Regen Brutes, I would seek out info from Spaghetti Betty. I know they have been credited with making Regen to be at least workable.

A friend of mine gave me his HeroClix figures.

The only time taken would be to do the build. Slotting is practically the same time as slotting an SO build. I would many times over test an IO build over an SO one.

You can pop a build in Mids and import it to Beta. There's no need to just try out an SO build.

This isn't a fair comparison. Elec Blast simply doesn't have something which can compare to Seeds. I would rather see two full Elec builds. I think the comment about Controllers being better for subpar teams feels like the correct answer. In terms of sheer support, I never felt like a Defender came close to my Earth/storm, and I played a lot of Defenders on Live.

One critical difference is that DP plays in melee as where BR plays at range. Emp plays fine at range, so I would lean BR. DP is also more AoE based as where BR is more ST based and then spreads into AoE. It has -Regen, so if something needs to be dead, it certainly helps. Since Emp doesn't offer -Regen, this can be a nice add.

I use the energy shield option on mine. I practically need to open up more costume slots so I can do more variations.

I never got around to an official build I mine. I kind of debate the Epic. I enjoyed the leveling process even if it felt a bit slow and End heavy just using common IOs with it.

It's an S tier armor with the fastest Trapdoor clear times based on the melee set used. Fire is second least resisted damage type so the damage is 'any' map consistent. It can clear faster than a number of Scrapper builds. Did I have all of one ST attack until 28? Yep. I used BoF as my other ST attack until I did a respec. Note, for Alpha I did Musculature. The build isn't even finished, and I'm basically down to basic smart play and not being able to die at +4x8. On low diffs, trash fodder is two clicks.

Apparently the audience just wanted to watch it at home. https://www.avclub.com/red-one-amazon-prime-video-biggest-streaming-premiere

People claim superhero fatigue and then something like Deadpool Vs. Wolverine hits. Fatigue is when the good stuff doesn't even sell.

My only complaint with soloing Tankers is their damage is on the lower side. They get a benefit against larger mobs, but you need to be able to survive those mobs, and the damage output can be a factor. My point is, I've soloed Tankers only to reroll them due to how boring they were. Brutes, 1-20, are essentially the best to solo due to Fury. I have soloed to 50 many more of those. The one Tanker build which did work for me in terms of soloing is Shield/fire.

I was essentially typing this out when you posted it before I did. Saying Sents are close to Blaster damage is sheer ignorance.

Buying the rights to anything Marvel doesn't already exclusively already have should be pretty easy for Marvel at this point. "You guys are losing money overall, so this would be an addition via subtraction." If Sony continues down their pathway and screw up what Spider-Man access they do have, Marvel might simply step in to prevent further tarnishing what Marvel is trying to do.

You can get to Level 50 and be fine with SOs or common IOs starting at Level 25. You only need to take the IOs to 35 if you 3-slot specific aspects. You can go higher if you are 1-slotting. You also get one free respec every 10 levels, so feel free to use them to work on builds. My super generic slotting for SO/IOs would be ST 1 Acc, 1 End Red, 3 Damage with possible 1 Recharge. AoE is 2 Acc then then the same as ST attacks with skipping the Recharge. Toggles tend to be 1 End Reduc and 3 for whatever it is meant for. ATs: Scrapper, Stalkers, Brutes, Tankers, and Sents would be the top ones. Basically anything which has mezz protection. One question to ask is what do you mean by solo? Do you care about soloing on higher diff settings, and if so, do you know the range? I ask because if you are willing to go the route of essentially the default diff setting then basically every build for those ATs work.

Rain of Fire should. Elec isn't purely ranged if you want to max out End Drain, which, to be honest, is one of the weakest forms of mitigation in the game.

Nope.

FYI, as mentioned before on this forum, I ODed on Kin on Live. My namesake is from my Claws/regen on Live. I have a Level 50 /bio Brute and a Level 30 /rad one. I just found I got lazier and older. I don't mind something which has a click, but I start to be less excited about ones with two or more. Even my EA builds I try to do where clicking is minimized. Since I have repeatedly stuck with Claws, I would simply rather keep clicking on attacks versus things to keep me up and running. I had a low level Claws/nin, but I couldn't figure out why it was really all that better than EA or SR, so I rerolled it to something else.

Pick a zone and go through its content. There are definitely some contacts which need to be played on a lower setting if you are doing them for kicks. I just got to the point of trying to T4 builds via Heather's arc and got to the point I just needed a break from the game. Most of my characters are Level 50. All but a few are at least Level 30. I'm getting close to where all of my characters will be Level 50, and I'm just finishing them off, whatever that might mean, and logging in when I just want to play a fun build. Honestly, popping a build onto Beta pretty much covers me wanting to level a build. I don't lack in unplayed Steam games, so I've honestly been more playing over there and doing token logins for CoH. That and playing board games online with people. That can essentially be done for free depending on the games. There's also reading of books which I need to get back to my old pace. I've fallen behind. Plus, a certain series has hit a breaking point, and I need to get started in it.

Boosters seem to be the winner of supply and demand for my builds, so I would aim for using them for that.

So unsung I have no idea who they are, but I appreciate the fully pimped out highly Vet leveled characters who hop on a +4x8 Frostfire and make life easier for the lowbies. But seriously, there's a high 90% chance I have no idea who people are talking about in this thread, and I play on Excel.

In case you forget, they legally couldn't do it sooner. No one really knows if FF or X-Men are actually going to be good. They took time and still likely miscast FF. I highly doubt Hugh Jackman is going to be Wolverine in X-Men movies as the one part of the team. Marvel is so currently desperate they are greenlighting any and everything they can with Jackman's Wolverine and Deadpool. See Wolverine vs. Hulk. And no, that's not the first mention of it as Charlie from Emergency Awesome talked about how things changed for Marvel post Deadpool Vs. Wolverine. https://comicbookmovie.com/hulk/wild-new-rumor-claims-hulk-vs-wolverine-movie-is-now-in-pre-production-at-marvel-studios-a212463

Pratt was already in parts of well received movies. He was part of the Jurassic franchise a mere year later so I question how much GotG factored into it. Evans literally was already tried in a major superhero IP. Hemsworth is essentially a dude just waiting on the right part. Fine, Holland and Boseman were the unknowns. You also seem to be forgetting RDJ, Scarlett Johansson, Cumberbatch Benedict, and Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah, what a bunch no names they had starting that franchise. I mean, Iron Man had Jeff 'The Dude' Bridges as its villain. Mark Ruffalo had already been nominated for an Academy Award. I'm not even going to add in the sheer list of other actors who were part of the Avengers push as it's only stockpiling a list of names where even everyday people know who I was talking about even before Iron Man came out. Seriously, look at the cast of Endgame. Marvel made billions and spent the hell out of it until they found it was not sustainable.

I fully assumed this was going to be a return of the old gang for one final send off. I'm kind of surprised people though otherwise.
