About the only vendor I use is in my base. The only vendor outside of that I can think of using in a really long time is one in Atlas as a newbie character stood next to one and placed stacks of bids on common salvage for 25 and dumped them to the vendor.

You can always dual box Unai Kemen missions. There's no real need for a specialized build either. I'm currently dual boxing RWZ arcs at +3/x8 for the sake of speed. and rotating between my Ice/stone Brute and a Claws/ea Scrapper. Even if you do classic farming, there is a case to be made that S/L farms are better, but honestly, I ran some missions post AE/FA fixes and have hardly been back. Also not listed, XP was peeled back. I could do a tunnel run and have a character be at level 22. Now it takes two to hit 23.

From a practical point, both set up containment. Sleeps will prevent the target from attacking for the duration of the sleep as long as they take no damage. Rooting a target in place can be rather useful and more so as some mobs might actively try to to flee, see any slow power. No, they don't prevent the target from attacking. They are set up for consistent containment damage, which a sleep is one and done. So no, a sleep is not 'orders of magnitude better.' And, hear me out, rooting your target is bottom feeder of controls.

It is more so on a Dom. /dark is arguably the strongest secondary or at least in the running.

1. Now be on a team. 2. I currently don't have the Immobilization powers on my Fire/time although that will change. 3. Immobilization powers are merely there for controlling a mob's position, and likely used for damage. 4. If I am looking to control a mob, holds, and AoE mezzes are for that. 5. Even on my Symphony controller, I slot the Sleep for damage. Also, if you aren't dying, you aren't trying.

I put them into a tier list and did so not based on DPS since that's a terrible measure of a sets worth. It isn't rocket science to figure out that AR is clearly not in the same class as Ice while not talking about DPS. About the only primary which wouldn't mind being paired with AR is FF. Any player picking a secondary wouldn't think twice about Ice working out regardless of their primary.

RTFM.

The biggest needs are TF revamps and more missions as reasons to go there. I used the Day Job badge to travel around for the sake of badges within the zone.

You can list something at the AH pretty much anywhere. You have to actually be at the vendor to sell them your stacks. This is why I am saying it is quicker to sell them on the Market.

Doesn't the tutorial cover this?

People sell at a loss on the market all the time. See also common IO recipes. There's enough of a player base sitting on so much currency it isn't that terrible to sell things on the market for less at a vendor. Selling on the market is also quicker, so there is that. Honestly, any new character I make uses grabbing stuff off the market for less than vendor value until I get enough currency to start working enhancements convertors, and yes, I have billions. I kind of feel like it is just a way for the player base to give back to newer characters.

Farmers made the case they actually helped keep prices low. Homecoming made farming less enticing as ever. It isn't that difficult to see why certain changes are leading to long term price increases. I'm just glad I'm far enough along to where the genuine need of currency is easy to deal with.

Also factored into things, if the player base gets smaller, there is less stock. If less people are farming, that means there's going to be less stock. Considering what I can dual box on a number of characters through regular missions, I have no real desire to farm, or certainly do it regularly. Why farm for lesser rewards when Unai Kemen exists? I don't even need a 'farming build' for that.

I'm hellbent at buying commons at most for 100 and uncommons at 1k. Around 3 weeks ago uncommons skipped to where even buying them at 1.5k is an absolute crap shoot. At one point I saw I was able to take stacks of uncommons and sell them for 500k to 1 mill per stack. Sure, currency is easy to get, but new players don't know that and them walking into uncommon salvage being sold for 100k isn't helpful. I have enough high level characters I just run them and get the salvage I need. Even better is when I dual box a couple level 50s who are working on their Incarnates. I run arcs at +3/x8 and rotate who does the mission.

You upload the file.

I to a default play Def based characters or have my Def as high as I can get it, so yes, adding in a significant amount of Res is going to make my characters incredibly durable. I remember on Live I was on a Hollows team with a Sonic and FF, and it felt like Free XP Day.

You literally mention Acrobatics in your first post.

3-Slot Gladiator's Armor in a Res based power and then 5-Slot Gladiator's Javelin into a range ST attack to get 6 mag KB protection via set bonuses. It's not great, but at least it is something. If you grab your ST Immobilization power and a ST ranged attack from an epic, you could push that to 9 KB protection which would be even better.

It depends greatly on the purpose of the build, but I could see skipping on one of the two Fence powers. Some might make the case to skip Static Field, but I found it useful. I would skip on the Rez in EA. Pretty much anything else I would at least try before deciding if you want to keep it in the end.

To clarify, Scott uses beam attacks a lot. The difference is in if he is wearing his shades or not. He does normal blasts with them, and essentially a nuke level blast without them. He should also be required to take numerous powers from the Leadership pool as he's the definitive leader of X-Men outside of Xavier.

Fire/cold or Fire/dark since they are easier to do stealth with. I didn't have room for stealth on mine, but I have a Fire/time at 42. I peeled back the defense on it to get Chrono Shift perma and S/L/E Def are still in the 50s. I want to get some Incarnates done and kick the tires some more before I do a final build.

Stick enough recharge in Claws and your AoE attack chain is FU, Spin, And Shockwave. The recharge Shockwave for my EA Brute is listed at 4.82 seconds. That's cone sized 100% KB/KD at range. Add is Focus and Slash as your ST attack chain and things tend to be on their butts. I do like my Savage/rad Brute so far, but Savage doesn't offer near the mitigation.

Just upload the mbd file.

Not sure what won't condone is implying as TA allow is rather solid. Also, the pairings don't make a lot of sense. Kin/rad not being a pairing is quite the omission.

I can't fathom not slotting for end reduc in a build. Attacks use the most endurance. ST attacks are 1 acc, 1 end, 3 damage, with an optional recharge. AoE is 2 acc with skipping the recharge.
