I just checked. I don't think there is a level 25 common IO which can't be had for 50K or under. Some easily under that, lets say 15k. This says nothing of having the crafting badge for that level so all you need is 2 common salvage and the reduced cost of crafting.

Looks like it.

There was a time when I didn't touch slotting until level 22. I still tend to do that when I'm uncertain how much I like a build. Now that I have a built up supply of currency and attuned IOs, I can slot starting at level 7 in some cases. I might slot some lesser IOs(common, uncommon) until I hit 27 so I can slot level 30 IOs from certain sets as those are more likely to end up in my final build. If I was starting over, building up a stash of attuned IOs would be goal #1. An anyone can do starter kit to get a few million going. 1. Do the tutorial in the game. 2. Keep the inspirs. 3. Once you leave the tutorial, use /ah in chat to open the auction house. Sell the inspirs. 5. Find common salvage in the auction house and put as many stacks of bids as you can for say 100 currency. 6. Sell the ones you get to the vendor for 250. Rinse, repeat. 7. Eventually move to level 50 common IO recipes and sell those. What happens after that is up to you. I need less than a mill to mimic what I do now. 8. Add in doing content arcs and TFs to gain merits. Outside of the merits, TFs drop better recipes as a reward. 9. Grab the Inner Inspiration power from the P2W. Every 20 minutes you get three free inspirs. Sell or use the better ones. 10. If you are really that hard up for currency, skip the 2x booster. Leveling twice as fast with getting even less funds isn't what you are looking for. Hell, I know how to use the market, and I don't grab the 2x booster as I find the leveling process more enjoyable. I find builds which I got to 50 using 2x boosters need more time for me to feel them out. Bonus. Keep playing your level 50s. No character has better access to gaining currency than a level 50. A single night of gaming can get you more than what you gained in repeating steps 1-7.

I've gotten rezzed by more teammates than I have ever used awakens.

Depending on the IO, even uncommons can be had for cheap. If one skips out on the ATOs and certain one offs, the difference between SOs and uncommons really isn't that wide. A support AT could be done on the cheap since they are avoiding thing like defense and resists sets.

I loved my Water/ice and got in the 20-30 range. I think 30+, but once I rolled Water/temp, that's what hit 50.

I should clarify as reading what I wrote wasn't clear to me based on the quote. I mean I don't find the -res aspect to Sonic being that limiting in terms of slotting and procs compared to other side effects. If you can proc damage and a -res, then you are more looking at what damage types you can proc.

I haven't IOed out a blaster so I wasn't sure. If not, then that just means Sonic isn't impacted that much by -res being it's side effect.

Which also means dealing with multiple generations of the Unreal engine. I believe they did one upgrade. What happens if they decide to do more?

Ranged and Ranged AoE attacks get a decent amount of proc options, even -res for Ranged AoE. Add in two attacks getting ATOs unless you put them in your secondary and you might not need as many as one think or it being that big of a deal. Beam absolutely does wonders on hard targets such as AVs, but there's zero chance it competes with Fire when it comes to AoEs. Beam's AoEs get good if you get the trigger to go off and that's less likely for teams which move quick.

Which still doesn't mean much. I feel like videos they have shared across the years really haven't advanced. While a mission was shown early, 2015, there really hasn't been advancements in that direction. and that far more than a hero creator should be the focus.

Since I have them on ignore, this thread now makes more sense.

It is the lack of Spin.

Just still put in the beacon.

Storm has long been argued with lesser support numbers versus a defender to still be better on a controller since a controller could mitigate the chaos.

Not enough love for Dark.

Struggling a little with end doesn't really sound like Cardiac to me. It also depends on currently slotting.

Superman teamed up with others in part because in case Superman was ever compromised, Batman would be there to keep him in check. See him giving Batman kryptonite.

Huh. I logged in around 9:30-10:30 and I don't think I have seen anything in months. I'll have to start looking for it.

I went Cold/water so I could name them Tall Glass. If soloing AVs is something to be looked at, then Beam is definitely worth looking into.

Excelsior

You can look here as an example build.

I can't recall the last time I have seen one in chat. Maybe they are done in other channels, but I almost exclusively use LFG. I tend to get on later, so I'm wondering if that is it.

I need to go back to my level 50 Dark/dark controller. I hit 50 and parked it. I have a minor bit of a rant about how control is in the current end game meta, but I don't think it is there to be really stellar damage even for a controller. It is no Ill or Fire. More so it inspired me to roll a Dark/dark defender since on fast enough teams, I would simply rather be blasting away. I do think the build is quite good though, and I can't really blame it for the current meta. The -tohit, control, and heal pretty much makes for safe teaming.

Well, I was mostly looking at level 50 HOs compared to level 53s. 50s are sanely priced. I'm surprised I don't see Hami done more often or at all with the market being what it is.
