Ive been playing a lot of Dev Choice arcs lately. They take some time, so might not get one done in one play session, which is why I think they're not more popular. The writing is excellent and so much better that the early stuff. I also, do not use MIDs, so my respecs are an investment in concentration. I use my tablet, to take pictures of my screen so I can remember how I laid out my power trays, and how my slotting was. I also use Ouro to exemp down so I can street sweep zones at the correct level. Echo:DA is a great area to street sweep as a lvl 29 exempted down Fire tank.

My main is my tank Phrendon Largo which I have recreated on 4 of the 5 servers, but with different powerset combinations. I play on Excelsior mostly with my Fire Armor/Savage Melee version.

My Katana/Dark scrapper just runs the damage & stun auras and murders whoever hasn't stumbled out of range.

For me it depends on the AT I am playing. Some EB are plenty tough for a squishy, especially sub incarnate(<lvl 45) arcs.

If I play Masterminds, Defenders or Controllers I try to fit in as much Leadership as the build allows. My Blasters and all my melee characters take all primary and secondary powers, there is usually not room for full leadership, but I'll take either Assault or Tactics if there is room, and I can see a benefit. Which mean, I guess, that according to the OP, I play both selflessly and selfishly, depending on the AT. And I am completely okay with that.

I just got my first PAP to drop today. On the 3rd mission (I think) of Dark Watchers arc. Had to kill Automaton Positron to get it. wewt!

Sounds like what splash damage tries to mimic already. I do like the OP idea though, sounds interesting.

My fire farming tank is making beaucoup influence now by doing the new repeatable Cimerora missions and arc, and trying some dev choice AE arcs I havent done yet, and visiting Ouro crystal and hitting some favorite mission arcs I haven't done yet. You know, playing the game.

I have only played my Rad/Water Defender a couple times since this change went live, and I have to say, I didn't even notice that the powers were suppressed for 5 seconds. I was just so happy that I didn't have to wait for Choking Cloud to recharge, then turn it back on, then recast Radiation Infection and Enervating Field. Now that I know, I will use that time to eat a purple, red and yellow and take my revenge. Where's my break free again??...oh there it is. <<That above is an old man on a keyboard..role playing what happens on his side of the keyboard when he's hit by a lucky shot and gets stunned unexpectedly...it takes longer than 5 seconds>>

Ugh...another visit to the proctologist? No thanks. To answer the OP, no one makes you slot procs. It is obvious you have to give up something every time you slot one. You can convince yourself that it always better to not slot one if you so choose, then you can gleefully run around thinking you've made every correct choice in the game. Or you can be imperfect and just eat that donut. 🙂

I tend to agree. My Inv Brute, and my DA Scrapper are both struggling with that new Cimerora arc. My Fire tank does not have that problem.

It fell under the map. It's still there you just can't access it.

Not a bad idea. His 100% Narcissism made him feel like only HE could fix what was "wrong" with AE. So he removed it without even asking one expert.

Jake Emmert came back one night, and blew it up.

I knew there was a reason. I don't want to sound like I want anything changed. I like that we have a new challenge. Tactics, just have to get my tactics down. I'll still punch them in the face...but when they least expect it.

Or...they TP into an un-aggroed group and still Heal Other the guy you're trying to kill so you have to find him and deal with him, which means another Healer sees you and starts healing and the domino effect starts. Mind you, you still get no XP or inf for killing that healer.

They TP away. Apparently they don't want to get punched in the face.

Fire/Savage tank enjoying the new aggro. Fire farming only but seems easier, actually. Katana/Dark scrapper enjoying the new aggro. Murdered Carnies only, so far. EM/Inv Brute getting murdered by the Nictus foes in the new arc. Those teleporting healers are the new most hated enemy. Ice/FF Corruptor has to change tactics quite a bit. Will be forcing a lot of foes onto a corner with force bubble, instead of just slows. Still to try: MM and blasters.

Mine just says: "Sorry you died. Here's a wakie"

I have a few alts that I feel could possibly do well in hard mode content, although I have never attempted it on any PuG. I am a solo player. The one good friend I played this game with stopped playing many months ago. Is this new currency being implemented going to be enough of an incentive to get me to pursue this remains to be seen. I kinda doubt it, being a mini me is cute, but a blob is really of no interest.

Don't poke the bear.

I have a Radiation Defender currently up to lvl 42 that didn't take the Healing Aura and turned off getting any green drops. The only way to get healthy is through resting and natural regeneration. She is very fun to solo with.

Has he ever been to Letterkenny?

Is that Nectanebo's Gourd, or are you just happy to see me?

Im glad they rez, then I get to kill them again. Stoopit Freaks.
