Scarlet Shocker

you spotted my "deliberate" mistake set there to trap you all Frankly I'm just gobsmacked that somebody even read that!

Thanks. I understood most of that, I think. Are there any other powers/procs that do this? So assuming I have 100HP and with the proc that gives me... 108? (rounded up or down?) I have all my pets out (do other combat pets factor into this equation? Heavy Core for example?) and I'm hit for 48 points of damage. So my henchmen take 6points of damage each and I take 12 leaving me with 96HP. Correct?

"It is easier for an hero to pass through a window than for a rich player to enter the AH!"

Frankly I'm surprised it doesn't happen a lot more frequently!

I read a lot of history and I'm struggling with the Thirty Years War, currently. It makes no sense to me but the standout in most accounts seems to be the (third) Defenestration of Prague in 1618 when three worthy persons were forced to exit, unwillingly, through a window 70ft high. Strangely they apparently survived by landing in a pile of waste. This seemed to be the catalyst that sparked the 30 years war but let's not get into that because then I'd have to explain why the Holy Roman Empire was not holy, was not Roman, and wasn't really an empire either so... as nomenclature goes, it was very wide of the mark. However, I got to thinking tangentally and then it occurred to me that could never happen in our fair city because even the most potent Knockback is thwarted by the most feeble of objects. That and the fact there are precious few windows through which a body, villainous, heroic or simply unlucky, could travel. This isn't really a suggestion, but I was reading this and (as I say, tangentally) imagined Lord Recluse exiting Grandville Tower unconsensually at great height and wondered if it really would be possible. It's truthfully more of an idle musing and thought experiment but I figured I'd share it with you since it made me smile and I hope it does you guys too.

I find that clipping a can of "Acme Mez Resistant Spray" to your utility belt before setting out to do what you're gonna do is always a good plan!

That's helpful, thanks

Can you expand on this? I'm inexpert in MMs so I'd love to know more about your thinking/experience here. Gourd bless you guv'nor!

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking this isn't the character to spend this proc on!

Quick question re the Unbreakable Gourd proc. I'm thinking of slotting it on my MM, a Necro/Storm. The proc says +7.5% HP... Will that affect my pets as well as me?

O2 Boost is also a good mitigator

so many candy options! Which one will you pick boys and girls?

If you are serious about forming an event and getting people to join it, and if you are able to communicate to more than two people at a time, you will be capable of making it happen, politely, inclusively and without denigration or nastiness. If you can't do the above, then maybe the problem isn't other players

your mom told me that was NOT drool!

I think it's worth pointing out that the title of this thread is only partially correct.

It'll soon be Xmas so we can HO, HO, HO to our heart's content!

Welcome back I'd suggest start at Outbreak and take it from there. It's hard to know what to suggest without further info about how you like to play. You can skip a lot of low levels with a few DFB runs (not solo) but then you can be up to doing whatever it is you want.

You can't afford whatever @Snarky asks for. You think it'll just be inf... but it's sooooooooooo much more!

Untrue. You were originally about 3 billion years old when you first learned it but Temporal Warriors pushed you back in time until today when you read this. So you kinda knew it already but you unforgot it in regression

Head Canon

I thought it had come from Suggestions or somesuch. The " - MOVED - " in the title suggested it had been relocated for... reasons. but it's all good I guess

How do you like to play? I try and avoid using them unless I want to get to a specific goal. With my regular teams I tend not to use them at all, so that we can explore and enjoy the content as intended. However if I want to get to mid-levels quickly, I will use them and sometimes even camp in an AE farm. That's usually with an AT and/or power set I'm familiar with. Ultimately, you're the best judge of when to use them. You can stop, delete them at any time (you don't even need to claim them) and see how that works for you. What are your goals? When do you want to experience the most content? How familiar are you with the AT in question? Those are, I'd suggest, relevant questions and if you have the answers to them you'll know what you want from the DXP boosters!

Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls!

@Scarlet Shocker checks off #2 on her "Predicted Responses" list

That sounds like a very weird list! 🤣
