You can do pretty much anything you want to, you just have to let people know and they will oblige you. You just can't bring people back who don't want to play anymore. 😞

Set bonuses? That is beyond the scope of this discussion. The OP asks about crafting Generic Common Invention IOs for the badges, should she do it on one character, does everybody do it that way. My point was I don't bother with that because I don't slot a common invention IO until lvl 40, I just use SO's. I never said I didn't use sets. Set bonuses implies using Invention sets, like Luck of the Gambler, of course you should use those, but those have nothing to do with getting the invention badges, which was the original point I was making.

That's certainly a viable way to play it 🙂 We all play differently, and spend our influence differently.

The Upgrade button allows you to automatically upgrade all your SO's to max level with one click. I use it when I ding to keep me at +3. I just did it today on my lvl 24 Controller and it was the first time it cost 1 million. When I trained I add the nearest available like a 25 and then upgrade it to 27 that way. This only works for SO's not IO's.

Ever since the Upgrade button was added I pretty much abandonded sub lvl 40 common IOs. So having a crafting character just seems meaningless.

soo-pear'-a-dyne, accent on 2nd syl-LAB-le, but Tah-los, Tay-los, poTayto Potahto, lets call the whole thing off. Yeah.....swing it!

My Mercs' slottings on my lvl 50 Merc/Poison: Soldiers: AHeel DefDbf, Edict of the MM Defense Aura, 4 Superior M of Supr (including the Resist and Regen Aura one) Spec OPS: 1 50 Acc IO, Call to Arms Def Aura, Cloud Senses NE Damage, 3 Sup Comm of MM (including AOE Defense Aura) Commando: 50 Acc IO, Expedient Reinforcement Resist Aura, 4 Soulbound Alleg (including Chance for BU) I do have some damage procs in my poison attacks, however. Weaken and Neurotoxic Breath both have them. Am I doing it wrong?

Heck, I TRY to get Sefu Tendaji killed. Could never be so lucky.

They die better. Especially the Medic, with that target on his back and low, low hit points.

I blame DFB.

Is there a badge for being placated? Look That-a-Way Badge or Don't See Me! Badge

A mission with too many Spectral Daemon Lords or Tsoo Sorcerers that doesn't drop enough yellows, run back to door, autocomplete.

My Fire Farming tank is Fire/Savage. Easy non expensive build, can't afk farm, but never a goal to do that. I slotted Savage leap for recharge and damage so it would always be ready for the next grouping. I hit them with a Cryonic cone, then Leap, then go to town.

Ah, so CP is a narrow cone, but PC is a wider cone? Is it as wide as, say, Crowd Control from War Mace?

Which one is better? Power Crash is the Tier 8 from Energy Melee, Cross Punch is the Tier 5 Power Pool attack in the Fighting Pool. Both are cones. Power Crash replaced Stun. I asked this in General Forum and didn't get a response, so I though my fellow Brutes could answer it. Why am I asking? Because I still have not respec'd my EM/Inv Brute after the changes were made to EM and frankly I'm not sure its necessary. I took Cross Punch, never took Stun, so I could replace Cross Punch with Power Crash, but don't really see a benefit, am I missing something?

Yeah, there's a Hole in there, now!

OK, they replaced Stun with Power Crash, right? I never took Stun, I took Cross Punch from the fighting Pool instead. Is it worth my while to abandon Cross Punch to take Power Crash? I'm giving up Fighting Synergy, Foe KD, and Stun for Foe Disorient, Special. Why should a Tier 8 power from a primary be less desireable than a pool power? Is it actually better? How is it better?

But is it more fun? Personally, I had a lvl 50 EM Brute prior to these changes. I have not even respec'd the character. Not sure if because I perceive the changes as underwhelming, or just enjoy(and understand) Street Fighting more. ( I have a 50 stalker and 50 scrapper both with SJ and like playing them more.) Or is it because I never, ever warmed up to brutes? I'll play a tank over a brute any day. I apologize because this is off-topic.

Did you know you can be standing inside the powers supression room of an AE building and still get one shotted by a Rikti Drop ship. 😜 SHould be a badge for that. Most-unlucky hero? Innocent Bystander?

I got 4 zone accolades today with my lvl 50 MM in the lower level zones just street sweeping w/o the pets out. I never used afterburner more than today.

Flying Merc are still weak sauce, but safer....for them...not the MM.

I choose my power and slots based on what I feel the character needs at the time. Because of that I rarely respec because it takes away from the experiences the character faced as he/she leveled. I do sometimes error in power choices and slotting, I admit that. However, thats is what makes my alts unique to me. I still strive to make them successful, and find that unlocking Alpha, in most cases fixes all that was weak about the character. EDIT: I should add that I do not use mids.

ooooh...im on it!!

Not exactly on topic, but I wish there was a badge for killing Super Stunners.
