The other thing I do is use Entangling Arrow and Ice Arrow to hold some in place before I ignite the oil slick on them. The stuck ones tend to get the full force of ignite but even if they break free they still do the flippy floppy and catch oil patch damage. The other interesting thing it does is make a traffic jam. When they are all around you, two are stuck, and then the fire goes off, they all try to scramble and end up run into each other. It's kinda funny.

But Jimmy, why you gotta knife me so much?

It works. It doesn't go off as much as I would like either, but it usually snags at least a few in a group. And if those few are minions, they are dead and don't yet know it. It will get even better once I get to 50 and make it superior. Oil slick helps a lot, but it's better at keeping things in it's own area. Ignite's area is soo tiny. That's the benefit of the immob proc -- if it hits, they are in the patch.

Ignite works really well combined with Oil Slick, which was part of the point of my project. I also have ignite slotted with the Frozen Blast set so it has a built in immob.

The only bind I use is for translocation - /bind MBUTTON, "powexec_location target Translocation$$powexec_location camera:max Translocation" That TPs you to a selected target or, if none selected, as far as you can go in the direction of the camera. Not a bind, but my favorite thing is to wormhole groups into a corner, AoE immobile, Enflame on boss, Propel to take a chunk of HP and knock a bunch down, then keep them there and whittle them down with Singy's help.

Where is this a thing? That's a thread I started but I see no Jimmys or knives.

Since I couldn't decide, I went with both and I'm dual boxing them on redside -- Automatic Flea (Corr) and Semiautomatic Flea (def).

In this particular case, I think the Corrupter does WAAAAAY more damage.

Don't forget the power of Glue Arrow to slow them combined with the KD of Oil Slick Arrow. Add to that that I have slotted Superior Frozen Blast set with a 3.5 PPM, mag 3, 10 second immob into ignite and things are going nowhere fast.

Mids says it does . . . let's check C.O.D. . . . (checks website) . . . also yes. https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=pets.corruptor_flamethrower.flame_thrower&at=minion_pets

That was a bonus question! Answer or skip it as you please. But what about the main question: Defender or Corrupter for the AR-TA combo? So far it seems like Corrupter damage is getting the edge in voting.

Ballistic is a great name! So good that I already have it on my DP blaster . . . So far the ones I've come up with is Synergistic for irony or Parabolic.

I thought about blaster, especially since they now get Oil Slick Arrow too. But it's also about playing the new and improved Trick Arrow set with the new and improved AR.

I keep looking at both of them and going back and forth liking one more than the other, then reversing. What would you choose . . . and why? Bonus question!!! What adjective ending in 'ic' would you use to describe a flea that uses arrows and rifles?

JJD, I love ya but I can't help but read your posts in grumpy old man voice. GET OFF MY LAWN!

Mercenaries shoot rifles better than any other MM. I was going to say "shoot firearms" but then I remembered Thugs.

But Jimmy, why you gotta threaten us with a knife. You here to slice and dice?

A new, never before experienced oddity! So I just finished running a mission in Portal Corp. and had to go to one of the other buildings to get to next mission. I stop for a moment to sell and notice that Singy is not behind me. I go back to find him stuck by the downstairs elevator door shuffling back and forth excitedly, kinda like Paragon protectors do, only it seemed quicker. Sometimes Singy breaks free of whatever hang up he has just seeing me but that didn't work this time. I tried teleporting right next to him to see if I could nudge him away from the wall, but he was still swaying after several tries. I hit him with Temporal Selection as buffs usually breaks emotes and that got him unstuck. The oddity was that he immediately then got on the elevator and exited the building, then re-entered and took the elevator back down. I was scared he was going to get stuck again, but he didn't. It seemed like he was OCD compelled to go where I had been before he would start following me again. I have never seen any pets do that before.

You could also use Uber's bind for Fly, for example, to 'f' and the reverse Hover, to 'SHIFT+F'. Does that count as one key?

I have learned and deduced several things from this thread, but I shall put them in the form of a multiple choice question to see if others were paying attention. A) Yomo and Miss Terrigen are Inhuman. B) There are many ways to make influence. C) Yomo and/or Ms. T are petrochemical engineers. D) Praetoria is a pretty but mean, hard place with many ambushes. E) All of the above. F) B and D only. Also:

The point of a high dollar build is "what crazy s**t can I do with this"

But Jimmy, what do you have against skirts?

I disagree that every "maxxed" out character goes for 1 Billion. While some do, I'd say most are top-tier builds somewhere between 300k-500k. Take 1 billion and divide it by 96 slots and you get to just under 10.5 million for each slot . . . and that includes fitness pool, brawl, etc. There aren't enough IOs that average 10 million over an entire build because there are only so many purples & superiors and most top end builds don't need more than few sets of them. Even if it was 1B each, 1000 of those builds is still pretty outrageous. I'm not saying it's impossible for their to be a trillionaire. There are certainly dedicated and crazy people out there capable of doing all sorts of things. Even accounting for all assets, I consider it improbable.
