I'm pretty sure in my looking at SR for Sents the adding of Mez protection is not stated in the way it needs to. PB still overs some additional protections, so it isn't 100% you take MB, but I'll debate switching it in my build on Beta and go from there.

Rad has a fairly active secondary. Invul has a single click. SR can have a click, but it can be put on auto and can feel like you essentially ignore it. EA has two clicks, but if you are teaming, you'll likely have less need to click on them.

I tapped out my farmer in terms of recipes duo boxing a number of build into their 30s. They should honestly target low pop servers like this during the holiday season.

Claws/sr. I'm not all T4 yet. Claws damage makes it a chore. Multiple EBs in a single mob is a bit of an ask.

(Illusion Control sits back and laughs) For the record, even a Controller I use which has the AoE Immobilization power, it is used after other controls are used and is really used for damage, see procs. If you don't want something like a Fire or Plant controller using the AoE Immobilization power while being backed with a T4 Hybrid Control, then by all means don't invite me as it is your loss and not mine.

FTR, I'm soloing it at +3x8 on a Scrapper. The Wiki stating it as challenging content is not wrong.

Must do Sister Valeria's arc. 😂

The lack of a taunt aura is less of an issue with Claws due to the ranged attacks. Shield has a taunt aura as well unless CoD is incorrect, but I honestly haven't seen runners with my Shield Scrapper like I do with my SR so I am assuming it is correct. Get the Recharge down and MA/shield would be a great combo with solid AoE.

I had long assumed the one name I wanted was already a Level 50. I even checked on the 1st, but apparently the name policy hadn't kicked in. I had forgotten about it until this thread was bumped, and had the same issue with trying to get the name. I officially have it back. I had it on live and it is one of my personal favorites, so no, I'm not giving it up, and yes, it is a Level 50. I had been using it with an added period.

Flashback system and lower level TFs/SFs are needed for badges and accolades. I have a difficult time thinking of lower level content that is unavailable to a Level 50 outside of tutorial stuff. If you are that hellbent on getting the temp powers from doing Bank missions, you likely aren't doing farming anyway. Villains have an easy enough way to unlock those.

My Claws/wp is a Brute. I did recently go back over the older build and cleaned it up a little. I did try rebuilding it from the ground up as how I more prefer to play it these days, but I hadn't finished it, nor come close, nor done enough testing with it to be willing to share it. The person who gave me this build said they had a better version and stated the numbers they were able to hit without offering the newer build. I think my rework gets there close enough and may have some improvements based on newer sets. There's some freedom in the Incarnates which I didn't really list in the build. Without Pause Old - Brute (Claws - Willpower).mbd

I've taken EA to 50 across four ATs, and I have a hard time saying it is better than Shield or SR. It will be smoother to get to 50, but end game is where those two armors shine.

I want to see video of a 5 minute run of DFB. I think 10 minute runs would be impressive. Both Posi's can be done under 30 minutes on functional teams. I can at least see that.

I dinged Level 20. I need to finish up an arc and then move over to the Ward arcs. I used a Dark/elec Brute and cleared it deathless so far. I figure I can proc out Power Sink with the Chance to Disorient and Chance for Psi Damage IOs.

Note, using the 2x XP booster on the servers doing 2x XP already generates you 300% XP.

I'm quite positive there are players with Level 50s who are specifically playing those characters when they see a FF pop up. A Tanker exempted down makes +4 FF much smoother. I have seen some repeat Level 50s on various FF runs I have done. It just feels like a known thing that a FF will be done at +4, so help from a Level 50 is nice to have.

Getting to 19 feels a bit weird. There's nothing meaningful about that level. You aren't even in Talos if Blue side. Level 17, 22, and 27 are far more important when it comes to slotting.

The number one way to have a FF go slow is doing it +4 with the lead not having a 2x XP booster. If the lead has that, I've done it in maybe 90 minutes at most, and the team is blowing through it by the end. If its going that poorly to start, you exit and reset. There is zero reason for a FF to take even two hours.

You aren't using Hover, so how would you be fighting in the air to the point you would be KB protection? Elec is a Res based set, so going for it is fine. You don't have DDR natively, so I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of Def. Any -Def debuff will strip you of it and +ToHit buffs will essentially bypass it.

The fact that this thread exists tells me all I know to know what a Kin can do. Keep checking those pants.

I would. Even adding in Mass Hyp shortly after. You negate alpha strike. You can sleep an ambush. If playing Gold side, those happen a lot. My Mind Controller was pulling off stuff my Ill would have struggled with or taken far longer to deal with in the early parts of the game. Add in the new TK and Mind is significantly better in the early part of the game.

I didn't realize Barrage had -Regen in it. It being -100% just feels really odd since some powers for a Defender aren't even -100%. You are correct on the definition of a mule. DPA = Damage Per Activation.

To be fair, the Sent will be far safer doing its damage.

The option for this and its text is on the screen when making a new character. It doesn't imply the instant Level 50 part well enough, IMO.

So Reunion went from being more than a retirement place for my characters to simply being that. I had started soloing on Reunion and had more plans to do so. The 2x XP was a nice option for my lower level characters. Alas.
