BTW, it gets worse. Norm Spencer, aka the 90's cartoon Cyclops, died the other day. It was announced by Cal Dodd, aka the 90s Wolverine, complete with a "sorry about the convertible" line. 2020 is really crap.
I remember reading that mega thread back in the day. Yeah, it was a bit annoying for my EM/WP brute, but I dealt with it. Hell, the way teams are these days, some of my melee chars are lucky they get a few targets down before the waves of aoes nuke em.
Well, if I make another Grav char, I'll consider it. Irony is, If they made Black Hole act like Tar Patch. Slows enemies, does some -res or -def, or something. But, oh well.
Oh my absolute god. Wait...you got the same piece multiple times....from a PURPLE SET? What the.....:::degenerates into a mix of cursing and tears, then more cursing at RNG...then more tears::::
Between IO bonuses and insps, I honestly don't take T9s. I did take them on my Khelds, thinking that perma-Light Form meant no crash-I was wrong, and Eclipse for WS doesn't have a Crash, it just needs bodies around you.
Thank God they made fitness inherent, and removed travel prereqs. Sure as hell made it easier to fit in tough/weave, or leadership. When they did that on live....I just didn't have the heart to respec all my chars.
I can humbly suggest that you stack in a good mix of res and def. The two +def to all IOs? Get them. The two +res to all(the scaling res one gives +3 or +5 res no matter what)? Get them. Get a good mix of res, def, and healing and WP becomes damn near immortal. My TW/WP brute is the guy who literally tells the rest of the team to go ahead on the escorts, that I got the ambush. And 8 or 9 times out of 10, I DO.
I can't judge, but I've been told that the "chance for damage" interfaces are golden in MM pets. SOmeone was praising the Reactive one on MM Robots for instance.
I really wish these powers on Gravity Control or Dark, Dimension SHift or Black Hole, did something else. But, they don't, so, honestly...never taken them.
