Are you able to fight anything? at +4/x8? Do you use Rune of Protection? Inspirations? The reason I thought you were farming is I very rarely die with this Brute build. One memorable occasion trying to save a Blaster from about four full spawns of Rularuu, and a few times in a Really Hard Way Magisterium attempt in the final fight. (Tough fight for any melee really) Farming would explain dying, to me. Or you are not using Dark Dark correctly. At +4/x8 you do not want to agro 2-4 spawns of 17 baddies. You have Stealth. Un suppressing stealth. You can kill 17 +4/x8 Longbow while the other 150 +4 Longbow mill around thirty feet away and ignore you killing their friends. When you whittle those down go get the next spawn. Or charge two spawns and use Rune of protection and/or inspirations. Time your heal and use it. If you see you are down a third health but it took them 10 secs to do that, heal up. You now know your heal will mostly cover anything they can do easily. I can write everything about Dark...except a play by play against enemies I do not know, with your playstyle also unknown. When I play this build it is easy street. When you play it you die. Find something else? A Hyperstrike Invul Brute is nigh unkillable, even if you go to the bathroom.

Yeah. Sort of. Except imagine the kitchen team did not want you to know how hot it really was. So they added vague ( and intentionally incorrect) adjectives.

there are a number of CoH/V outlines that would be pretty cool. Part of the trick is then decorating the cookie to bring the concept to life. Think Lord Recluses Helmet, Longbow flyer, etc

Some of the Dark armors and auras have a misty ripple effect on the floor. Might want to look in the character creator where you can customize endlessly

Well Hami is epic. Both in audacity and execution. The original Dev team decided to create a giant HP Amoeba and did not back off that bold, simple, stupid design. Then created lore behind it. Kudos. It actually worked. (Mostly because playas be playas…) The best GM is sort of just an AV….when Tyrant goes godzilla in the Magisterium. But that fight is epic, especially for badges. In all I enjoy the variety, lore, and dispersal throughout the city and isles of the GMs. My favorite (and most frustrating) hunts are for Caleb for badge. So good when it happens. My least favorite is Sally, mainly due to griefing from other players. People really suck sometimes.

What I do works really well. Not give a shit.

Made it through another

But was it really the same character? Or was the original destroyed and a copy created?

Name them Chernobyl. there is some crap luck there.

well, it is All Hallows Eve. everyone needs a costume.

go dark dark controller. they wont be able to hit the floor

they are so far north i think they just have two or three days all year.

“20….damn, you’re old.”

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

Leech is a hurtful word. We prefer non derogatory terms of empowerment. For instance, alternate individual life force empowered persons. Thanks

Well, I suppose your faith in your fellow man should be.... commended. By the way, you have never held any teaching positions have you?

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

isn't this quote from 10 years ago?

it is not what is in the punch....it is who
