a lot of misinformation surrounds "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
the "truth", as much as i will share, is that it is inspired by the history surrounding Summerland, CA in Santa Barbara County. There are many strange events in this early American city set on the site of an ancient civilization. (now eradicated, although certain locals have legally taken the ancient race's rights)
I agree. I do not do discordant toons to be anti-X I do them to be Pro-X
For instance, my Little Green Army man AR/Dev that i want the tiny Particle Aether costume. That is a concept that cries out for the tiny costume.
But I wont pay for it, so it drove a bit of a gap between me and gaming.
can slip back to Santa Barbara and grab a snack, then get back to peace and quiet. A tomb would be preferable. However Santa Barbara is the northern tip of LA and there are no quiet graveyards. Even the abandoned buildings get plenty of visitors.
I can spend 200 mill in 2 min when kitting out a new build. After running out of stuff in my base i run to the market for the odds, ends, and maybe a purple set or ATO set etc.
so, i solicit donations
please email cash to @Snarky. Thanks
Lot of good points Tidge. But...fatal flaw.
Assuming people "now know" is a crap bet. Ask any of the endless streams of scammers making money off the endless queues of ignorant people who cannot wait for product X
Common mistakes about Dark. Everything
The stealth does not suppress. So unless you fight things like Rikti or Rularu etc that see stealth you are hidden. This is why I like Dark for a Brute more than a Tank
Run all toggles. The theory is to deal witb minions and Lts with fear and stun. This is your faux defense. Then your resistance just needs to handle the boss. The heal can take you from 1% to 100%.
I have written whole treatises on Dark if tou dig around a few Dark posts in Brute you might find them.
I run Dark. I have tanked Ms Lib master runs on a Brute Dark and Rom was challenging but okay. But i build tough. Dark is great if you understand it. I have seen posts from people who say they used my build and cannot stay alive against ….anything. Whereas I rarely die, and generally only die trying to save a teammate who has do e something horribly stupid
Honestly the rare times I enhance this for anything besides damage I put a Theft of Endurance +End proc in it. Generally at low levels and take it out once the end bar stabilizes as the build matures. Once in a great while I might leave it in, prob not in a finished build though.
Generally this is a good heal sustain on top of the other MAJOR tricks any armor set/build has. Enhance it as an attack. It is a great attack.
sore spot. one of the reasons i stepped back from CoH is the PA cost to create tiny toons. I do not run/enjoy Aeon and will not pay a fortune for the privilege of getting PAs to purchase costumes.
I do not know the numbers. I have used siphon life a lot, across archetypes, mostly Brutes. Paired almost always with Dark or Invul.
The feel is real. I enhance this as an attack only. No extra heal. When used as part of your attack chain it provides a noticeable improvement versus everything except massive spike damage. For that you need the "oh crap buttons"Dark Regeneration or Dull Pain or some such, possibly also eating some skittles if the situation persists or also hitting Rune of Protection or some such.
But in normal play this power works hard. Especially noticeable at low levels before enhancement sets flush out or all powers are not yet in. A real gem. Hits hard and heals you a nice bit.
