I did just think about something that may look wonky with “true giant” Gems. All of the textures for models are relatively low resolution (at least comparatively) so forcing them to scale to twice or three times the size they were designed for may cause pixelation. I don’t know if that is reason enough to not allow it, but food for thought.

Yeah, the generics are still considered IOs because they’re made the same way and function the same as all of the set IOs. They were also released as part of the invention system update many years ago. yes, SO stands for Single Origin, those have a specific origin tied to them (natural, magic, etc) and can be purchased through regular vendors. also, level 25 common IOs aren’t quite as powerful as an even level SO (they provide 32% instead of 33.33% bonus for schedule A) but it’s close enough that it doesn’t really matter for most content.

Depends on your goal for social I think… i pretty much exclusively play on Everlasting, General chat there is always going, and it’s pretty easy to find a team during normal parts of the day. I have a weird sleep thing and have been on at all hours, I find anywhere between 6 am and 1 am Eastern time (3 am and 10 PM pacific) you can relatively easily find teams. I will say prime time is evening but not too late eastern time.

You pretty much answered it… a lot of people aren’t badgers *and* this particular badge doesn’t provide any benefit.

you can change your global once. It’s an option under menu.

Common IOs are non-set “white” IOs, they don’t give set bonuses. In the /ah you can find the under Crafted Enhancements, they’re the first category there. I’m going to try and keep the math to a minimum here, but basically, SO strength is based on the level difference between you and the SO. If you are level 50, a level 50 damage SO (for example) provides a 33.33% boost. IOs work differently. Instead of based on relative level, the level of the IO determines its effectiveness. A level 30 damage IO provides a 34.8% boost, regardless of your level. You just have to be at least level 27 to slot a level 30 IO. IOs never “expire”. That is to say, as long as you are at least the minimum level required to slot the IO (3 levels below the IO level) you can slot the IO and continue to use it as you level up. For me, I slot SOs until level 27, then I buy level 30 common IOS until I’m ready to buy set IOs. A level 30 IO continues to work all the way to level 50. So, what I was suggesting in my first post is if a given level 50 SO costs at least 50k inf, just go on the /ah and purchase a level 30 common IO. I never bid more than 50k per common IO and usually purchase it instantly, but in the worst case, it takes a day or so to purchase.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Jurrasik leave the room he spawns in, but maybe he can, I don’t know.

Also, I haven’t bought level 50 SOs in quite some time, so I may be wrong about this, but I suspect you’ll get level 30 common IOs cheaper than a level 50 SO. I never spend more than 50k per level 30 common IO and they provide slightly more benefit than an even level SO.

Not on my computer, so I can’t really put something together at the moment, but just some food for thought on your power pools: you want TP and Fly and concealment, which could work, but I’m a firm believer that Empathy works best with Hasten (to get your RAs and AB down) and I also feel at least Assault and Tactics are great powers for empaths. (Maneuvers and Vengeance are pretty solid too) so, that’s 5 power pools and you can have a maximum of 4, so which one gives? now, if you don’t care about having stealth on 100% of the time, you could drop Stealth for Super Speed with a stealth IO in it, giving you the same stealth level but for a higher endurance cost, so you won’t want to run it full time. That drops you to 4 power pools, Speed, Flight, Teleport, and Leadership. As for sets, Doctored Wounds is not a terrible set, and it’s relatively cheap (I think each IO costs between 500-750k) so for 5 IOs (where you get the global recharge buff) you’re looking at between 2.5 and 4 million inf per power. If costs are closer to 1mil per IO, you might be better off buying a couple of LotG def/global recharge IOs (which usually sell around 5mil each) which will give you more global recharge for the same price. Drop 1 in hover and 1 in fortitude

So here’s the problem with having taller than what is allowed… clipping. A lot of maps aren’t designed for mobs taller than 8 feet. So basically, I have no problem with the idea except that there would have to be limits to what maps are allowed, which means extra code time. Assuming this extra code time is minimal… fine, I don’t care, but standard code rant applies.

You’ve added 2 slots to health and 1 to weaken Resolve… those would be better off as damage SOs in 3 attacks. Dead enemies deal no damage. also, make sure you slot an accuracy into dark regeneration first, if it misses, you don’t get healed.

My wife would probably kill me if I bought another coffee mug (we have way too many and I drink my coffee iced 2/3s of the year) but I’d love to add it to my collection as well

BTW: Just confirmed on one of my TW characters, the ring around Follow Through and Whirling Smash is there regardless of if the power is on CD or not, so you really don't need any change.

I’m guessing you’re building wrong. DA is plenty tough on both brutes and tank (aside from the lack of knock back protection). show us a screenshot of your enhancement screen and tell us what level you are.

It lasts 2 minutes but shields last 4, meaning unless you’re casting shields earlier than you need to, it’s only up half the time

To get the notice, you have to have your alpha slot unlocked. Assuming you do in fact have that, then yes, a “you’ve already done a WST this week” notification of some kind would be nice, and yes, it has been brought up before.

I did an all storm/storm it’d a couple weeks ago, so just defenders and corrupters. The chaos was amazing, but yeah, couldn’t see anything in the first 2 missions.

Blessing of the Zephyr costs about 1.5-2 million most of the time, use the base slot in the ally teleport power and put that in there. 4 knock back protection does a surprising amount of heavy lifting.

Yeah, throw kismet into a toggle, not an ally shield.

Enough that it doesn’t matter? Probably not. If I remember correctly, 100% mez resist cuts mez duration in half, meaning Malta stuns will take 18 hours to wear off instead of a day and a half

I think HC wiki is wrong on this one. I started playing in issue 6 and faultline had not been revamped yet. the paragon wiki archive says it happened in issue 8, which feels right to me. https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_8

You can’t enhance -recharge, so an end redux is really all you need. CE’s -recharge is -32%, so even against +3s that’s over 20% recharge debuff if they don’t have additional recharge resistance.

Now I want to run an all Thugs tf… depending on slotting, henchmen would have between 67 and 105% defense just from Enforcer’s maneuvers 🤪

That’s not the fault of MMs, that’s the fault of bad players.

Man, this would be so much easier if it just said Momentum in red text somewhere on the screen when you had it…
