Snarky

You are going to enhance shadow maul with 4-6 slots. I almost always go 6. If you enhance cross punch (in my mind) you are crazy. The damage therefore is not comparable. You can nudge one of the lotg into hover and slam a kismet or another defense global into a def power always active. Again, getting doible use of a pick by something utilitarian and freeing up one slot. Or pick something else. Leadership etc. or another Soul Mastery power. In my mind literally anything is better than cross punch. The time to use it and the crap results have no place in modern ROFLSTOMP steamroller teams

I love how a bunch of posters whizzed past my entry and complained an agro limit would change everything and ruin farming. When my post above specifically requires 1 (or 3?) power picks and is a player option that is turned on (and off) No need to read when you can scream there is a conspiracy to destroy your life I suppose

Yes, I struggle with this in every game really. You can have a cool concept and three days in you are off to stop an alien invasion with your godlike powers. Like, wait, I was just a vampire trying to not get killed by hunters like 72 hours ago….

My only real suggestion is providing players an “agro bouy”. For want of a better term. The agro cap i am pretty sure in laced through a ton of code. Changing things in the old beast causes….issues. So instead add a pet that draws agro. Possibly transferring damage to the player towing using existing mastermind bodyguard code. Thus extending agro cap. Perhaps in a power pool with taunt etc but, again, the extremely vocal .01% will find it ruins how they play and start hurling fecal matter at everyone until they get their way Just like they F-ed the SS fix because it ruined their ability to double stack Rage. So they complained nonstop until the change was dropped.

In no game that i have seen is that happening Also it would kill the fun. Learning how to dismantle mobs with powers while they try to kill you is the challenge

I just want everyone to somehow convince the Devs to do it, have them code it, then have the .01% vocal minority cry like a wounded baby elephant until they reverse back and trash it. Just like they did with Super Strength….

I never use cross punch. Shadow Maul on a Brute takes a while to get the feel of. It is very good once you learn it, but it takes a while. One of the main reasons I do not use Cross Punch are....there are so many other good options. For instance, I think you are using TP for a travel? How about taking hover, and using it as a mule for LOTG 7.5% and then you can relax as you TP around. Double benefit. A dozen other better picks than an un enhanced meh attack from a pool.

I would just go for the standard overpowered uniques. Kismet +Acc, Glad Arm, Panacea, Miracle, Shield Wall, Reactive Def, Steadfast Prot, Numina if room. You want to prop up your end. Keep Dark Consump. Its great in the odd encounter with drainers and otherwise it is ghetto AoE. Definitely work on Recharge as a major build goal as you layer in your primary goal (which i a ssume is rock solid def) and maybe S/L resists? I mostly build Dark Dark for Resist, and you are rocking a Defense build. So, kind of sideways to the tricks i use. You will find that Dark Melee is a wonderful toolkit set. Not one of the highest damaging AoE sets but nearly unparalleled when discussing tricks for all situations. To hit debuff stacked with Defense is a great idea. I mean, are you incarnate softcap in all areas? If not... more is not bad... Someone cuts past your DDR.... you got backup.... Good luck. Most of all have fun.

Statesman died? I never did those stories. (No rewards). Wow. Could have given a spoiler alert. Now you ruined it

As much as I wanted (want?) all those other nifty incarnate powers.... I agree. Not profitable but the game (in my opinion) would benefit from a broader range of ITF and BAF level content. The Magisterium level is daunting for casuals. The ITF is popular, and more "beginning" Incarnate content with good rewards would have been quite a blessing. But, as you say, chasing dollars

Okay, perhaps my reply was a bit short…and Snarky. But seriously, the Well is responsible for creating a few (at least) Godlike (small g?) beings on Multiple dimensions. Then an army of incarnates. And that is just what we KNOW?!? Now, as brilliant as I am….. I just think I may be missing a few details and there might be a little bit more happening…. Other than multiple godlike beings being created and a multidimensional conflict with an army of demi god incarnates that is

You missed the whole Well thing then huh?

Probably get pulled over by a cop for hotdogging

In case you needed any more evidence to my madness: The film makes perfect sense to me.

you need to update, constantly update

I am not sure if this is relevant, but it is what it brings to mind. People cannot get too close to a Disney character. Not necessarily due to copyright, but because it confuses the young guests. So fans "Disney Bound"

The world dances to Snarky’s mad tune!

Bumped

You want to look at hyperstrike’s work. I will try to find an old build on the boards and bump to top of brutes forum that has the sets transcribed. Hyperstrike does the best invulnerability

You want to look at a comprehensive build strategy. It doesnt have to be perfect, but getting substantial s/l or ranged defense, depending on at/style can help a lot

The GMs in Homecoming are incredibly good. If real life had city services like this I might venture outside more often.

Dmitir Krylov. Take the details of his arc and make a TF out of it. It can be a redside/blueside. Red would be similar to his arc, with one mission being kidnap Paragon citizens (hampered by Heroes and LB?, the next mission being the heroes show up to rescue and bring justice. Blueside reverse that. The lore is pretty established, so build on that.

screw homage you unoriginal miscreants! and get off my lawn!

Yes, one of the things I like about current WoW is the scaling. Everything scales to your level if you are in “Chromie Time” which is what I mostly do. I was actually shocked that the latest stuff was not scaling. Once you outlevel Chromie (start of latest expansion) it goes away and if you grab a level or two before questing then the quests are trivial. I was like WTF? My opinion is all modern games should scale. If you want an “edge” it would be through good builds/equipment and weekly stuff like CoP. Reward people who are playing hard that week and let them push further in. Let builds/equipment do some heavy lifting and weekly buffs the rest with a “design cap” that allows the game to playa certain way. Like Magisterium. You can have a tremendous build and be fully incarnated but need to understand the mechanics and work as a league to succeed. Nobody one shots Tyrant and if you want the badges you better have a plan.

always willing to throw in my 2 cents. Even when I am short a penny... Barbi Que or any derivation is a play on Barbeque Bar-B-Q etc and not derived from Barbie. In theory. Not a judge, but that is an easy argument to present, if not decide upon.
