Scarlet Shocker

I have issues with how he says Synapse. I guess my original point is that you can have things look the same and sound remarkably different and the only way you you can tell is by knowing. There was an old woman from Slough Who had a terrible cough She hacked up some snot and said "I feel grot I hope I stop feeling so rough"

it's all greek to me https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Terpsichore

Have we been saying it wrong all this time? The above is a tune from an album I've had for many years and play consistently because I love it so And I always pronounced that track "Terp see cor" And Manticore as "Man tea cor" But apparently Terpsichore is pronounced "Terp Sick or ee" So following that logic, should we not apply the same pronunciation to our game's richest bowman? It would be "Man tick or ee" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpsichore This is very much a first world issue but I am curious.

I concur with most of the opinions here that +End is the most critical thing to aim for. I've found that during the levelling process, Endurance is the limiting factor. It's a lot less debilitating than it was on live, but it still matters. But once you're at 50, you've got your character to where it needs to be and unlocked your Alpha, which then potentially solves all your End issues (if you haven't already done so by then) it's worth that respec and as part of that process, you are able to boost your max HP and Regen (and fine tune your End) with little difficulty. A lot of that will depend on your playstyle and progression rate - so YYMV - but I suspect if you prioritise your HP on the journey to 50 you might find yourself compromising your character quite badly in terms of its main function.

Jumped on to play some Wedding missions with a friend. We did our first set fine, then we both swapped toons, but on return I didn't see her on my global list. She was standing in front of me and we were able to team, but at no point did I see her on my global friends. I believe that she saw me. Swapped after that and found her the moment I was in game. Did it a couple of other times and everything seemed entirely normal so just that one time didn't see her on globals.

I understand your sentiment, but I disagree with it. The Devs did a pretty good job of keeping what by shutdown was a very old game even then updated. They constantly introduced new environmental graphical tech (Faultline for example) that impacted the game very positively. I was quite a vocal critic of the devs on live in terms of content. I think there were areas that they lost coherent direction in terms of the story - but in terms of actually keeping the game relevant and not looking dated, I think they did an excellent job. I'm ok with you having a different opinion but you might be giving them a bit of a disservice.

Henry Mancini wrote some bloody good stuff

Probably easier to imagine this as something akin to the X-Men's Danger Room. Play a scenario on repeat until you've got it down.

Better go back to that private server and tweak the knobs then. Probably best done in a dark room with some tissues to hand Your fundamental premise is borked and specious and you've actually given no coherent argument as to what is actually wrong.

Ride that sucker

@macskull peabringers. See above and pray it wasn't a worse typo than I first imagined!

Thanks for your input guys. I found those both very useful, and reassuring because this was the best build I'd come up with prior to that and it seems to be pretty on par with yours. Maybe that really is just the best we can get a Sent like this and in that light I'm not unhappy with what I came up with. Again, way OTT with the Res, but probably impervious to res debuff so if I can keep mobile and not spend my time in Melee (which she's not designed for anyhow) I could be ok. I'm hoping the link provided gives anyone interested insight into how I've built it! Crimson Charger - Sentinel (Electrical Blast - Electric Armor).mxd

I dusted off my all Elec sentinel this weekend for the Wedding missions and I realised how much fun she was. But it's a crap SO build and hasn't been respecced after 50. It's fully Incarnated to at least T3 (some T4s IIRC) and I've got a full set of Cupid's IOs to slap in it. But I've been struggling to come up with anything like a good build. I have a full set of Titanium Coating - not great, I know and I'm pretty inf poor in comparison to many so I don't want to go purples and specials more than necessary. In terms of pool powers Combat Jumping & Hasten is mandatory and I quite like Experimentation - Speed of Sound is fun and I like Toxic Dart and Adrenal Booster - partly as good mules (AB takes a couple of Rectified Reticles which is a cheap thing.) I also note that Lightning Reflexes is stated as improving recharge time and movement speed. Recharge is -20% so added to Hasten (70%) does that reduce recharge by 90% prior to slotting? in the builds I've come up with I've managed to get waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the 75% Max Resistance except for Toxic and Psionic which are around 50% each. That seems like overkill. Is there any advantage to exceeding max Resist? I also noticed that in action it's pretty good at End drain and I rarely run out of End even in an SO build being very active. Can I increase -End on foes to cripple them? I also don't wanna take Voltaic Sentinel. If it's anything like as crap as it is on Blasters I really don't like it. Feel free to convince me otherwise or maybe do not 🤣 Thanks in advance. I look forward to seeing what you lovely folk come up with.

Carpentry is a highly useful skill, to be sure.

I just wanna play a peabringer now. Who doesn't love having their legumes delivered personally?
