What level are the croissants on? I'm tired of climbing these stairs.

OP I am the same way. I solo 95% of the time. I do join a league to kill a GM. I solo TF's that I can, like the old original Posi or maybe a Numina. I will join anyone that asks for help to kill something, or find a lost glowie, stuff like that. But I really don't do pick up groups anymore, unless they advertise as easy paced. I know why people do lvl 54 Paper missions but I don't need to do that so I don't.

My main blaster is Radiation/Mental. He has only the ranged rad attacks, except for the nuke. No cone, no targeted AoE. He softens them up with range then finishes off with Mental attacks. Very satisfying blapper-y style. I also play Sonic/TacArrow, AR/Devices, Dark/Martial. Defenders: Kin/Elec blast; Rad/Water blast, Storm/Storm blast Rad/Water is favorite, Storm/storm is growing on me. Corruptors: Ice/FF, Energy/Traps. Energy/Traps is favorite. I have colored all the attacks differently and love the KB but do not use Power Push or Nova choosing instead Trip Mine for theme. Sentinal: BeamRifle/Ninjitsu. Psychic/Regen Psy blast has a devastating high damage blast that also stuns. (rad blast as well, for that matter) which is why I didn't understand why the devs couldn't make Slug from AR also do stun. Then they could have dropped Beanbag and added Aim and made everyone happy. I just don't get it. I stay away from Archery, but I use Trick Arrow and Tac Arrow. Seismic Blast I do not like visually. Fire blast I played on live and have no desire to play on HC.

Tequila still works, I just had to switch the script from the one that can access the test server, to the one that only accesses 64 bit and 32 bit HC. Fixed.

Happening to me as well, using tequila launcher. Re-validated and still same error.

Good idea.

Parkour Stance gives you backflips as well, so you can use Athletic Run if you like that better.

Here's what I do when I want to put multiple things in email for another of my alts. In the To field I type in my global @user name(can have a space in it). Then I mouse over the entire selection and hit Ctrl+C. Then I will drag the inspiration or recipe or enhancement into the proper field and drop it. Then I just type something short into the main body because it has to have something. qq is adequate. Then I send. Then when I open to send another I immediate type Ctrl+V that immediately puts your global into the correct field. Then send something else. It is very quick.

If you're lucky, you'll get a Hurl Guano temp power.

I made a Storm/storm defender, because I like challenging things. Having no idea what I am stepping into because I never played a storm summoning character ever, even on live. Initial, very early impressions are: I will be soloing this character a lot; I will be respecing a lot ( I have 4 respec recipes sitting in email); using Blackwand and sands of mu to supplement early lack of damage; turning off green drops to leave more room for reds and yellows. I believe this might play a lot like my rad/water defender. Anchor's away.

You might be able to use a hami to sneak some acc into that power. (Lysosome)

What about Day Job temp powers or Day Job Accolade temp powers? Are there any that are must have?

AR might feel better with secondaries other than Devices. I'll give you that. Like I have stated repeatedly--repeatedly. Move the stun to Slug. Drop Bean Bag, add Aim. Problem solved. 🙂

The problem with AR is that it was originally designed to pair great with one secondary -- Devices. Targeting Drone has been boosted to help Sniper Rifle get to damage levels that other secondary choices only see when they use Build Up. Ignite also has many uses. It fires around a corner. You set up some trip mines throw down caltrops at your feet on your side of the wall, fire around a corner to agro the enemy. That is being taken away but I have chosen let that go without complaint. Why do I have to give up so much?

Bean Bag is like the old War Mace Clobber used to be. The Devs didn't have a problem making that a high damage attack on live. You probably don't even remember that Clobber did not damage early on. It made WM one of the worst weapon sets to play. My original complaint is not bad, it's valid. The ranged stun needs to go somewhere.

I am fine with Aim staying as long as I get a ST stun somewhere. I suggested slug as well. The only drawback I see is that a lot of enemy rifle weapon attack chains have slug in there. players could get stunned more often and not understand why.

OK I see a lot of people are happy that AR is losing BeanBag for Aim. I am not, because I stack the ranged stun of bean bag with taser on my AR/Dev blaster. Can they possibly add stun to Slug so I can still have access to a ranged ST stun power to stack with taser to take down S/L resistant bosses?

I guess they could put stun into Slug, but I will be limited in my ability to slot stun duration into it until 50 when I can use some Dam/Mez Hammies. Slug is a bread and butter damage power for leveling up.

Assault Rifle Beanbag Power replaced with Aim. On an AR/Dev blaster, Targeting Drone means you don't need Aim. Having the ranged ST stun is much more valuable, to stack with Taser. Removing this is going to really negatively going to screw with my ability to take down bosses especially bosses that are S/L resistant, which are most bosses. This is not a good change for me.

I usually bid in groups of 3 at the AH for reds and purples. So I always have access to filling my tray before heading into a tough mission, or replenishing after a tough mission. For a difficulty challenge, I sometimes turn off green inspiration drops. Dual inspirations don't impress me, I think they are a lark as they only give minimal boosts, and you can't combine them. Just don't unlock them at the P2W. Team inspirations are great for masterminds. Always unlock them on your MM and use them.

Ice Armor/SJ with Chilling Embrace as soft control is also very team friendly.

Currently playing a new, old-school blaster: Marxsman AR/Dev Note: he's not a communist, but Marksman was taken. Also: A Fire/Fire Stalker playing old school with Placate. I know, not everyone's cup of tea, so what. His name is Enflambe' Will eventually get Rock Largo the Ninja/Time MM and La Merle the Sonic/TacArrow blaster to 50, currently both at 45.

I keep playing it,warts and all. Only one character I retired after it got vet lvl 100. Respec'd to move all enhancements to base storage for alts. Planted him in Ouro to buy super inspirations for alts, he sometimes goes intertub swimming in the pool. He won the game.

Highly suspect.

No build here; I don't use mids either. I went cheap to build up my Fire tank, so this advice should be relevant. 6 slots in plasma shield and fire shield, with 4 Titanium Coatings and 2 Reactive Armors. Steadfast KB protection in Temperature Protection and a Blessing of the Zephyr KB Protection in CJ. I never took Phoenix Rising. Energy Mastery I took Focused Acc and Physical Perfection. I didn't take fighting pool, can't help you there. I supposed to run those extra toggles you'll have end issues so slot a Numinas Reg/Rec and a Miracle + Recovery in Health to help that, as well as a Performance Shifter + End in Stamina. Slot your SS powers with sets that add to your NRG resistance and Smashing Resistance.
