I really feel like with any support set, you can’t narrow it down to 1 power to illustrate this point, here’s your list, but annotated

FYI: you can revoke your origin power at START and choose a different one. i guess what i don’t follow is: how does fighting against COT on my technology based toon (for example) make me better at magic? RP wise, I’m not using magic, so how do I get better at using magic?

I’m looking at this on my phone, so I’m not positive about some of this… big thing, swap the miracle +recovery and the panacea proc. The miracle only affects you, but panacea can proc on anyone in range of the toggle…. Also, if we can get 2 more slots in there, you can slot 5x panacea for the recharge bonus. spectral terror: looks like you only have 2 or 3 6.25% recharge sets slotted, change out Dark Watcher’s Despair for Cloud Senses and you’ll get extra recharge. Also spectral terror isn’t auto hit, so getting some accuracy is a good thing. Move the 2nd slot of Superior Invisibility to Soothing Aura move 1 slot from mind over body into soothing aura and slot 5x panacea also, change one of the remaining enhancements to the +max HP unbreakable guard (Skip the end/rech) Take out the resist aura from phantasm and move the slot to World of Pain change World of Pain to 5x Impervious Skin for the 5% recharge

Nope, purple (and PvP) enhancements give their bonuses all the way down to 10, regardless of if they’re attuned or not. It’s actually better to NOT attune your purples so you can boost the ones that have lower enhancement bonuses (like end redux)

It stacks, so people with the START buff were getting 4x XP

I feel like Power Boost is kind of wasted on a /Rad. Yeah it will increase the strength of your debuffs, but only for its duration since they’re toggles. I guess it helps with the heal.

FYI: purples exemp, if you’ve got the inf and you’re looking to boost recharge then purples are the war to go.

Right, but if I’m a villain and teaming with a Vigilante that is doing Alexander’s arc, I assume the arc can progress even though I’m a villain, but I won’t be able to get to 2 of the missions.

I get the feeling the OP is upset they weren’t able to multi-box on Excelsior this weekend. That’s like the only negative impact I can think of when the servers are red. I rarely play on Excelsior, mostly Everlasting, but the handful of times that it has been red I have noticed no performance degradation.

The biggest issue that I see with the zone hopping thing is that KW is a co-op zone and these missions send you to non co-op zones, meaning if you’re taking with a pure hero/villain they have to miss out.

Can I ask why it bothers you that people can be AFK and still be in game? Honestly, other than maybe forcing you to go to Pocket D 2 rather than Pocket D, what possible impact can this have on you?

I may have rolled a BS/SR brute named “Fish Slapper” on everlasting.

I’m assuming by double missile, you mean Brilliant Barage. Yes I’ve taken it on all my Pyro toons so far, it’s not a PBAoE though, the stun is centered around whatever event you have targeted and the fear is centered around the ground location that you pick. I consider it a very valuable pick. As for the AoE hold, 2x Accuracy SOs (or level 30 common IOs) is what I have slotted now, because it does have an accuracy penalty, as long as you’ve got several set bonuses that provide +accuracy, that should be enough even in high end.

It’s available for 10 Prismatic Aethers, it’s called Freaklok Disk Jockey. i know this because i just purchased this for my Pyro/Sonic dom

I don’t see this happening for 1 reason in particular: it would require the devs maintain 2 code bases.

A lot of NPCs don’t have costume pieces, the model is 1 piece, so it’s probably not an eye detail. I could probably find a use for that particular piece though, along with others that are NPC only (the tie-dye shirt for example)

Hmm… 2 scrappers and a blaster… maybe spines/fire, claws/regen and AR/Devices Force Field/Energy and Fire/Thermal I was going to say Invul/SS tank, but thugs already have that… Shield/Energy?

Welcome to the internet.

only if summoning the boss plays Phil Collins’ “Coming in the Air Tonight”

I haven’t played this combo, but I have played a fair amount of Marine… I wouldn’t skip White Cap. It does a decent amount of -resist, apparently procs well, and triggers Frenzy in your Tide Pool. i think the best way to start every encounter with this combo would be Tide Pool->Glittering Column->White Cap. If you’re teaming, a controller is generally not hitting many attacks for DPS, you’re (de)buffing and dropping controls to keep the rest of the team safe. I’ve been playing a Pyro/Poison and it is probably just as busy as Pyro/Marine sounds. I just finished up a Synapse and for the most part I was getting out Glittering Column, Brilliant Barrage, my debuffs, then just helping mop up the few enemies that were left.

Not everybody is racing to the end, some people enjoy taking the scenic route.

I like the idea of an “elementals” mastermind something like fire imps/ice elementals/animate stone with stone spear/some frost attack/fire breath

I literally lol’d

Fine, then my opinion is the devs should spend extra time to create a brand new animation that is a path aura with fireworks.

I want to add that there are some people who don’t have the luxury of playing City during the week. A single parent who has custody of their kid Monday-Thursday only gets Friday-Sunday to play, so if they don’t want double XP and they’re told “just play another time” well… I see a problem with that.
