Snarky

I am so brilliant. Unfortunately my memory is nearly as bad as yours…. I would just as likely forget this step in a complicated afternoon of character rebuilding. Whenever i make a new 59 or rebuild one it costs a lot. Whenever i shatter one there is “shrinkage” as stuff that seemed valuable in the build is tucked into an odd container in the base and possibly never used again. This is the joy and sorrow of gaming. The creativity and the destruction. Everyone should donate generously to @Snarky and make the world a better place. Thank you.

Again, and i cannot emphasize this enough, just pick a low slot power at 49. There are usually 3+ powers in any build that require zero added slots. Maybe 7 on average that take less than 4 total slots? Why not just wait and take one of those powers at 49?

Here you are already lost. I have about 25 transcendent merits on my acct and email as many as needed to unlock what i want. This is generally 2-3 as the slots do not unlock fast enough to beat the avalanche of threads and incarnate salvage that rolls in. Then, as i finish the project, … i convert leftover emps back to transcendent or just email the emps if less than 50 to keep the momentum going

Whatever LSD tripping Dev decided rainbow bright was the perfect effect for the new Villain Dominator Archetype should be banned from ever working in gaming again. Really banned from working anywhere.

Only the contact, very fun. Is there something cool there?!?

I have always advocated for more slots. The least unbalancing suggestion I have offered was one slot at vet level 100. Which would still require a RESPEC at 50, for the 49 power to be fully slotted. Alternatively, you can plan your build beforehand and pick a power at 49 that needs no/few slots like a Leadership pool power.

Defender, never Matermind, not my thing. very very rare Controller, no DPS, very rare Dominator.... rainbow Dom power effect. wonky monkeygrinder permadom. rare Sentinels. fun when they came out. No DPS, never again Stalkers, Blasters out DPS them. and you gotta be right in it, very rare Scrappers, not my thing. Almost never Brutes and Tanks. Homecoming put me off Brutes by buffing Tanks to the 9s. I stopped playing them. Tanks, not my thing. i have a few. I almost never play them. Khelds, never Soldiers, pretty rare So, i play My Dark Dark Corr, and a variety of Blasters.

Shiiiiii.... within a few days we would have players trying to solo it at cranked ratings....

I tried the new Black Hole extensively after the recent rework on my main Dark^3 Corruptor. The problems with Black Hole are legion. It has a small footprint for its power effect in my opinion. Most importantly, the phase shift effect has certain enemies it always works on. So it will do a half assed Fold Space on some mobs, yet ALWAYS leave things like DE Emanators unfolded AND phase shifted. Even on Discord this is tough to communicate to teammates. So, confusion, misapplication of powers, and slower team speed is always the result. Black Hole was somehow made worse in it’s new form. Which is amazing, because before it was as bad as radioactive sewage. Goes to show that anything can be made worse if tou find someone who really THINKS they know how to “improve things…”

Certain things you only try once and realize they are not for you…

You have 14 billion to burn?!? Surely you can afford to donate to the @Snarky fund!

Please donate 2 billion to @Snarky so i can afford this. Thank you.

if you are a toon with armors, build them solid. but for 4 Star don't go crazy for absolute perfect armors. instead lean into the other aspects of the build, global recharge, accuracy, regen, whatever... procs... because if it is a dedicated 4 star build those barriers will be there. of course, now we have new difficulty levels dropping. i always make my Brutes Tanks solid as can be, and 1-4 star randomly with them. they are made to survive Master runs. no deaths, no barriers, no temps. but at the current 4 star that is overkill, it may not be in a few weeks with the new settings...
