Are you coming on to me? 😄

I suppose it's true that she could have started with a tester power. But look at the times in chat and timers on the power trays. Forty or Forty five seconds on hasten, which matches clicking that first and then taking 23 or 47 seconds to kill. On her 47 seconds on Flea Cup is close to Luacianna's 50 seconds. Laucianna just runs her regular build, which doesn't have enflame or unrelenting and does slot for survival and sustain.

Look at some of the builds with the fastest times killing pylons. They are built solely for that purpose all based on +damage, procs, -res, and recharge. Zero defense and resistance. So don't worry about it. Your +4/*8 character is surviving AND killing.

LOL at Flurry and Brawl. Nice one, AA.

Looks good, EXCEPT, you choose no inspirations but forgot no temps on both runs. It didn't seem like you used any, except its hard to tell with changeling and you have one grey icon on your power bar that I'm not sure what it is.

Boo!

I challenge any and all not just to run a no temps, no inspiration pylon, but to either add to the bounty or set your own bounty with your rules! I especially challenge: @ScarySai @Shin Magmus @Americas Angel @Laucianna @AmrasNotHere @Beldath @Linea @Videra @Frosticus @Glacier Peak @arcane @Ratch_ @Ston TAKE MY MONEY!

Is that list from least worst to most worst? Or the other way?

Not to be that guy, but neither of those is a self-imposed cap of LESS than 8. 😝

*Gives Ukase a bro hug*

Inaccurate. LOTS of teams run at less than 8. SSB requires four and only four as an example. And plenty of players prefer to play in smaller teams of friends.

What server are you playing on? That's quite a list.

Confucius said, "Do not give your enemies ammunition. You might not live to regret it."* Sounds like Division 4 is the closest match. But again, to me, the TF settings are integral to guarantee everyone is on relatively equal footing. *Confucius didn't say that. I totally made it up.

Definite no for Division 5 ("No temps or incarnates that provide anything but defense, resistance and hp, this includes no endurance tools ") as the TF settings can't do both no Temp Powers and No Inspirations. Besides, in my mind, getting incarnates is integral to the game. You can think of it as an extra 10-20 levels after 50 where you power up by gaining new abilities and slotting them to make them stronger. If Division 3 ("Legacy pylon rules, all temps that effect damage output are banned, recovery temps are banned. Judgment is banned.") was No temps, No inspirations as set by the TF settings I would agree. It's OK if we disagree. But to me, the ease of making sure you eliminate all temps and inspirations via the TF settings is the big draw to me AND that it closely matches 4* and Master settings.

Here is what I hope is a constructive suggestion for a division, and potentially lead to several other divisions. Right next to the Pylons that most people use*, stand Apex and Tin Mage. If you talk to them to start a TF, they give you a series of options to add challenge and difficulty. Under Power Limits there is a selection for "No Temporary Powers," which would remove all the Amplifiers, Wisp pets, Signature Summons and, even a fan favorite, Envenomed Daggers. However, accolade powers are still active. So you have your passive health and endurance buffs as well as access to Geas and the others. I would go one further and click on the dot for "Inspirations cannot be used" to make it more like the old RWZ scrapper challenge from the live forums. I think those two settings would give you a fairly accurate reading of the DPS of the AT's power sets and build. You could take it further if you wanted to eliminate Incarnate powers or whatever. The problem lies in that you can only click one choice inside the radial box. So if you choose "No Temps" you cannot also choose "No Incarnates." However the list below the box are not mutually exclusive, so you could remove inspirations, be debuffed, buff enemies, and remove all enhancement effects all at the same time. Other than perhaps a comparison of attack sets without regard to build, I can't see why anyone would subject himself or herself to those other ones. The best part is that this is super easy to do and monitor. You have people start the video at the TF selection box to show the choices, or a screen shot with the same. The pylon is right there waiting for you to pummel. I will contribute 1 billion inf towards the bounty reward for this division. If you like these rules and wish to contribute, say so. *Except for weirdos like Linea 😜

Obviously, we have to nerf Red Wisp Pet! Also, beware the sudden influx of petless masterminds! I hear they're OP.

First, my build is exactly as it has been for over a year or more. The only things I changed are getting Geas, buying Recluse and offensive amplifier. Others have done the same so I figured why not. Second, while these rules seem wacky, they're Koopak's wacky rules and he is putting up the prize and keeping tabs on times and builds. Nothing is stopping anyone else from starting their own test with whatever rules they want. It's much easier to criticize than organize. You don't even have to do that, Koopak has said to give him a list of rules and he will add that as a division. Third, I want to do it again with everything! Lores, Inspirations, Recluse, Geas, etc. Sure it may not be reflective of actual game play but shaving seconds off your own time is a game onto itself. Edit: Added Robotic Lore, a few red team inspirations, Support Core T4 active - 27 Seconds

Opening bid on Crabs - 39 seconds. Sorry, no video. Crabstermind with mace, Geas, Envenomed Daggers, and Statesman Recluse Signature pet. Run Type: RWZ Base Pylon on Excelsior Division: I (I think) Archetype: Soldier of Arachnos Primary Powerset: Crab Secondary Powerset: Crab Time in seconds: 39 Burst: Burst Hybrid: Support Core passive only Build is usable for General Purpose: Yes, damn good for general use. Number of Runs Averaged Together: One (Edit: Ran a second one, added Offensive Amplifier and shaved a second. 38 secs) Version: Issue 27 Page 7 Excelsior Video Link: Pics below, no Video Notes: (Any added details you'd like to add, please include any temp powers violating the above rules here) Build: Modified very old build. No Mids for it that I can find. /Buildsave didn't work

LF Crumpet farm in pocket D. I can be sitter, hitter, or tasty fritter.

Number Six had to break it before he could fix it! Duh!

I think you could add a quick comment on the mission load screens that have all sorts of advice, jokes, and comments.

I have a Force Field/Dark Blast defender on another sever that specializes in Hellion skeet shooting. PULL! [Force Bolt] + [Moonbeam]! Critter goes flying and you snipe him in the air. great fun.
