Snarky

As a nod to the Halloween season and a tip of the hat to old Bank missions.... Can we get a contact for the Halloween season with a mission where the goal is to beat up Heroes and Longbow who are guarding kids as they ToT. Then take the kids candy! The Hero version....(boring) guard the kids as Villains and villain lackeys try to take the candy.

The elec/shield Brutes … or shield/elec Tanks would give you two of the charge abilities. If you want to truly buff a kinetics powerset was always great. An empath healer is great, as far as keeping a team up. I invite you to look at things like an ice/cold Corruptor as well. The debuffs on cold domination on this particular AT powersets combo is very powerful.

You are wrong. I did not ‘become’ anything. I been bad since i busted out of the Zig. I still run the “kidnap citizens for Live Vahzilok dissection” for laughs. By the way, how does it feel to be WRONG????

I use Rune of Protection on some of my Dark/Dark Brute builds. It is another layer of mitigation. Dark twists logic about how to build for survival into pretzels. Normally Def>Res>Heal and you build mostly to prioritize defenses. But Dark has almost zero native Defense and no DDR. So I build for resistance Then I rely on Dark’s non suppressed Stealth, to bit debuffs, mag 2 fear aura, mag 2 stun aura , great resistance and the best heal in the game up every 8 seconds on my build. With the Tank I do not need Rune of Protection but with the Brute it closes the gap to perfection during hard combats Other than this I rarely use it on any build unless it us a handy mule to slap. This would be when i have the extra power pick (rare) and I can slap a global defense proc in there that i would have placed elsewhere. Effective to save one enhancer slot on a build at the cost of a power pick I did not “need”

That is not even good trolling. You got to keep poking the thread, like a fire when it has tiny amount of fuel. Only step back when it explodes!

Wait! Thats ALL powersets. They were planning it all along!!!

i'm uncharacteristically silent 1) i hate to farm 2) the only reason i did it was to PL myself. how many 50s i need?

I can relate. Both to the bingeing and having my "treasures" buried here there and everywhere. I have discovered is is just more important to be a little bit creative today. The rest will (possibly) flow into place when it should.

If you had any sheet music I would love to see it, ESPECIALLY the melody line. I think it would be a geat bass riff but I would love to screw around on the guitar with it.

That is beautiful! I wish I had that kind of talent. So cheerfully dark dark dark

If it was a Dark powerset I would run it on Blaster or Sentinel and never look back. It is 100% ranged. You take a 100% ranged and the trade off in power (say compared to energy or fire) can be well worth it. Yes, you do less damage. Except when you just hang at range, rarely moving, and act as fire support. The time a normal Blaster or Sentinel spends repositioning is time they are not doing DPS. The time they take healing they are not… you get the picture. But you have to like the role If your goal is to throw out numbers that make a Pylon tremble you should prob take Beam Rifle

Composing is far (if ever) in my future. Short term goals on that are trying to copy Keith Richards style and build some repeating riffs to use over sections of songs. Thats as far as my compositional music dreams go. Strangely vocal is by its nature more improvisational than I ever dreamed. The more you chase tone and flow the less encumbered you are by words and meanings. Now I know why so many lyrics are hard to understand. The artist chased the sound at the expense of the clarity of speech.

They stack to 5x and can be a easy way (depending on your AT / Powers ) to cram on Recharge. If Recharge is really synergistic to your build probably a good idea. High Recharge is almost always good in CoX, as in most games. But not always. And there are balance points in a build where enough has to be enough and you need to get other build goals going. Cannot make good soup with just salt.

I liked it. It seemed like (to me) the backbone of a great song. Now just need a lead of some type, vocal or otherwise. The mood rhythm and style were great. How much of this is you? vocal instrument composition? I am currently back at trying guitar and vocals. I kind of suck at both. I used to paint:

Well before it was 2, which was actually 3, but it really was not because of AE xp scalar constant C but then they changed (fixed) C to a different value. Possibly more than once and now they have modified the multiplier. Do you get it now?

I had a great pic of Echo and the Bunnymen in that with a background that actually looked like Echo stadium arena arches. You are destroying artwork. How am I supposed to sell NFTs now?

Another one of my threads headed to being locked! YES!!!

The truth is Castle has been drinking a lot lately. Please give him the space he needs

I want to thank the Dev team, support staff, and everyone working behind the scenes in the HC community to keep the ship afloat. And moving forward under steam!!! I think I have posted a thread that might have seemed negative if you looked at it in a certain light. Maybe even two! What i want to say is that it is noticed how much QUALITY work is being done on City of Villains...err heroes? City of X! (This is not to say I agree with all of the decisions....it is me after all) The steady output of top notch new content. Stepping up to the plate to do something for Sentinels (and that is a problem not of their making to try to step in and redesign....) The literally hundreds of other adjustments small and large. Thank you. Someday maybe you can come over to my castle for a pint of blood? *wrings hands and smiles innocently.

I have made up my mind without even the need to ask. Saves steps.

Well the team did not move my thread. They locked it. And I quote: "This thread isn't just a dumpster fire, it's like someone drove a fuel truck into the city dump and then shot a rocket at it. Either way, we're changing more stuff soon, so, sorry? Also, closing this thread. Not sorry." End quote.

I may be wrong but the Sentinel upgrade looked...okay? Not OMFG I Gotsztah haz I have an Elec/Temp Blaster that will (obviously) outdamage any Sentinel. Played to it's strength it can easily out survive any Sentinel as well. Do not see that changing.

Does this apply to Dark Armor stealthbpowers as well? Nvm i read it. Slightly useful….wait no not useful for Dark Armor. I was going to say to mule defense but the early morning fog cleared and i realized i do not build defenses on Dark. Overall a reasonable power alteration and completely weak sauce for most applications

I had a roommate that worked as a copy editor for a newspaper. One of their co workers intentionally wrote odd headlines to get people to read the stories.

I found the writing for the Dr Graves and Blueside version both equally buggy. They only work well if you know your part and do it robotically. (I rarely do....either) So I have encountered many variations of these types of glitches.
