The only tanker Tier 9 Armor power I like is Hibernate on an ice tanker.

[How do you slot Health and Stamina?]

The least expensive uniques that can go in health are the Numina Recov/Rech and the Miracle +Recov. Panacea +HP/End, because it is PvP, is more pricey. Those are my go to for health in that order.

 

In endurance, I go with the Performance Shifter Chance for + Endurance, which is not unique, meaning you can have more than one. Hello Physical Perfection.

 

If I need additional Endurance slots, I just use invention IO of appropriate level.  up to 50+5. Not all builds need this. Like a blaster or stalker wont, but a solo defender will, or a high toggle scrapper, brute or tank might. Play it by ear.

[Timeline of Endgame Arcs/Trials? Avoid Big Spoilers Please]

Where do the Cimerorian Incarnate Arcs go in this list?

[Perma Phantom Army]

that's it

[Perma Phantom Army]

I have Perma PA with an Ill/TA but it utilizes the Incarnate Alpha power that boosts recharge. I forget what it's called. Old brain.

[Help me shore up my Defenses]

I dunno. I think you worry too much about resistances. Ars/Traps is all about not getting hit, because everyone is vomiting, meaning held helplessly, and when they can fire they target the tri-cannon and not you. Yes, there are rare instances, namely when multiple ambushes seem to target you first, but that's more about the way the mission is designed and not the build.

 

Get your invisibility up to superior, amp up your hold times by splitting up the Archtype Superior enhancers into 3 and 3, and 2 and 2 and 2.

 

Lead with the confuse then the Nitrogen Patch. Then poison the F out of them and let the Tri-Cannon do its job. This combination just melts foes and you should never be getting hit at all.

 

Fighting Pool?? Seriously?

[Would you rather have your character be effective or feel effective?]

The thing about Arsenal Control, is if you only play it to lvl 21, you never get to experience the power that is Tri-Cannon. It's perma PA as soon as you take it.

 

[Wow! Never seen this, ever!]

Yep, that one of the plaques added for the new Bicentennial  badge. A few of the others got neat sculptures or the like but I don't think any other plaque got something as snazzy as a whole new zone entrance.

Thanks. I was looking for this info, but didn't know what the badge was titled.

hmmm...I thought you needed just one punch. 😜

They go to the landfill, duh.

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #75: Do you (or have you ever) run teams deliberately that were not 1 or 8 characters and what is your ideal team size?]

I consider me and my Tri-Cannon and my FFG a 3 man team.

[Name Purge]

Oh baby you....got what I neeeeed.

[Where are the new story arcs in RWZ?]

wow

[New computer - ultra mode looks fantastic]

Im still running NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, i7 core main processor 8700 CPU @ 3.2Ghz, only 8 GB ram. This game doesn't even need that.

[Wormhole or fold space into trip mines?]

I have an Energy Blast/Traps Corruptor that utilizes Fold Space. With my final slotting I find that two Trip Mines are enough. My sequence is TM1, Poison Trap, Caltrops, thenTM2. Aim, PowerBoost(if it's up, if not, no biggie) Fold Space.

 

Any slivers of health are cleaned up with energy blasts. They are all choking anyway from the poison trap.

 

This corruptor rarely teams, but I would never attempt this on a team.  I just Fold Space when a group is spread out. Usually near the melee team mates.

[Gadgit Arsenal/Traps: a Chronology]

I am pretty much owning everything with my Arsenal/Traps  controller, with the exception of one foe. The Council Super soldier from John Houston's Rogue arc. He just repeatedly took down my Tri-Cannon before it could recharge, then I was dead in the water. The only one I could not solo defeat thus far.

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Challenge #4: Start a team]

I only run mayhems solo myself, to get the instanced zone badges and temp powers. Not always, and not on every  character, just something to do when bored.

[What's Exciting About Rebuffing?]

As a person receiving buffs from another player, I never ask to be buffed. That is your decision. If you think I can contribute better if you buff me, then buff away.

 

I don't go into any mission without a plan for success based on my own power, skills, tools at hand (inspirations). I don't change my tactics because I am uber-buffed.

 

So to answer the OP's original question, as a buff-er -- Would I like it? To keep buffs on a person?

 

No.

 

I really don't play them except as a MM, I buff my own henchmen. They don't complain if I forget. That is about it for me and buffing. Not really my cup of tea to re-apply buffs to a fellow player. No joy in it at all, no sense of accomplishment at all. All the buffers out there must be wired differently than me if you find joy in it personally.

[why cannot people use words right? Remote bomb... remote?]

I'm not taking it on my AR/Dev, but I assume it is for solo play. You sneak in attach it to some unsuspecting minion, then retreat to your hidey-hole and set it off. Just because you can set it off at arms length doesn't mean you have to.

 

Now on my Arsenal/Traps Controller, I do set it off in close quarters, on the boss usually, because he is held helplessly or standing there vomiting uncontrollably, and it just feels like raw villany. So there's that.

[Mandela Effect]

I thought there was a badge for Rikti Portals spawned by Comm Officers. Back on live my friend and I would always kill the portal first. Now I know, because I have been told that there never was such a badge. Boo. There should be one.

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Challenge #4: Start a team]

I invited a team yesterday to kill Jurrasik when I saw a notice that he spawned, then I went and found him. Since I wasn't lvl 50 on that character I gave the star to the 50.

 

Once Jurrasik fell, and he did quite fast, we decided to keep this team together and do a GM tour.

 

We eliminated Kracken, looked for Babbage in Boomtown but not spawned, so we did the Council GWW. Then we went to Croatoa and took down Eochai and Jack in Irons.

 

Finally we went to Indy to find Lusca. Lusca was too scared to appear. Fun was had by all on Indomitable Server who joined this team and stayed for the tour.
