Snarky

They were Levelling pacts.

There is a note at the beginning of the thread that these EBs are only supposed to trigger for teams. They were unable to complete that coding in time for the event. It is on the schedule for next year

Dark Dark knows what it's done... Seriously though. Taking as a pairing it is a grab bag of crap that has zero synergy. As stated above, Touch of the Beyond is one of the worst sustains in Blasters. Soul Drain is the worst build up in Blasters. Taken together the mix of PBAoE, cones, and variation in ranges makes it lopsided to try to find where you are supposed to run combat from. You have a damage aura. But you need to keep moving to line up cones. the ranges on your ST are all different, and different from your cones. Dark Pit is useless in the modern game, and a damned expensive useless thing at that. Half this crap isnt even worth taking to mule stuff on a build. The entire thing is a shit show. If you take it for anything besides a Dark concept toon you will be miserable. On a Dark concept toon you will be happy with the concept and feel like you have sandpaper underwear and nails in your shoes each combat. It is an uncomfortable mess.

Not for years. But my SG runs some casual stuff once or twice a week

Probably 25-30 unless you got it on sale. 4 pieces and a base

mostly going back to soloing old content. really not liking everyone wanting to do +4/x8 speedrun of hardmode new content and expecting me to be at the missions end 2 min after the mish is posted.

They are completely revising opportunity and the Sentinel damage scale. Go to Sentinel forum for a peek. Go to Beta (right i never go there) to try it out

I played a bit this weekend. The one thing that struck me? EVERYONE was playing on hyper speed run mode. If you take 3 min to get to mission objectives (from time mission is posted to team) you may as well just fight mobs at the door. In the mission or out would not matter much. Pretty much no thanks for me. I am mostly done. I will putz around on some solo stuff and run some content with my SG friends. I have no interest in racing through buildings like my meth dealer is at the end of it with free product. Never why I played the game. This is what people want. That is okay. I also think most people (not all but a lot) do actually want EBs in the ToT event. Probably more if they could crank it to eleven. I am an old vampire. Sigh. Time to go write. I am so old I prefer to do that on pen and paper even. But I do make allowances for possibly needing revisions and maybe sending to an editor so it goes on a comp. Sigh. So dam old

A re-vamp (pun intended) of Dark Dark Blast do it looks like it actually works in a game. Any game. Cause this version is a car with three wheels and an emergency spare. Then one of the remaining tires has loose lugs, the suspension is shot and it appears there is something in the trunk that should have went to compost a few months ago

I never liked fire. Maybe its the vamp thing lol

I ran Super Strength for years on Live. My first 6 months back here was on a SS Brute. I follow SS threads pretty regularly. You have to climb a tall mountain to create a worse suggestion for a SS change than most. But you HAVE DONE IT. THIS SUCKS LIKE A JET ENGINE

Wait a minute...

It is a Nemesis plot.

I am crazy, not unreasonable. This would knock off half the work and still, as you say, address many concerns raised upthread. Honestly I did not put this in suggestions originally because I believe it has all the chances of a sailboat in a hurricane. It was meant as sarcasm and I really think Widower took the entire thread too seriously. But here we are. There was a great idea about recycling 50s (which the OP deleted) with a memorable character walk to a "totally not the suicide" booth

Noooooo It is a Plea! (And I HATE having my crap moved)

Just joined a Silver Mantis. It filled quickly. Ran fast. Depends on what you are trying to lead I suppose.

First off, I want to applaud the hard work and thank the Devs for doing something for Sentinels. I will probably dust off a few Sentinel 50s and see what is up. I am ever pessimistic. What a shock!

Invul and Dark Melee to me are incredibly wonderful together. Darks to hit debuffs, combat heal to support Dull Pain, and Dark Consumption in case Carnies or something whack.

depends on AT and level. I still remember an old Posi where all my teammates quit over the very long TF. I tried to solo the EB at the end. Damn. Just Damn.

I start slotting I/Os as soon as I can. That means 7 for Panacea, My Invul Brutes get 4 sets of Reactives at 12, The ATOs slap in fast. Yeah, I use nasty little SOs until 7-15 in some slots. Then on to the gold baby! I have an SG mate that just uses SOs, sometimes on 50s. Everyone knows somebody that is mentally unstable though, right? Am I right or what? Right? RIGHT?

Well, no one has ever complained to me that I have deleted stuff. I have gotten hints, rumors, and whispers about possible other issues. But no, no one has ever complained to me that I deleted something.

To me Dark armor has issues pairing with anything that does not have an endurance recovery power. So Dark/Dark. I find nothing else that flows. I will pair Dark melee with Invul for great synergy. since Dark Armor does not have DDR you must fully understand Dark, and what it does. Some folks try to build it like regular armor. I think this is a major mistake Dark has a stealth which does not suppress in combat. Unless fighting enemies with capabilities like Rularuu eyeballs or Rikti drones Dark will not be seen, until close enough to get enemies in your combat zone. This is the first defense Dark has Dark has some to hit debuff. Paired as Dark/Dark you have a LOT of to hit debuff. This is another defense Dark has a Stun and a Fear Aura. One has a pretty crappy base accuracy. Build up you Accuracy and To Hit buff in your I/O build. Enemies that, even for a few seconds at a time, are feared or stunned are not attacking you. This is another two layers of defense Some people build Dark as other Armors, using time honored logic that Defense is greater than Resist is greater than Heal Dark stands this entire reality on it’s head by stealth/debuffs/mezzes and having incredible resists. Then having the absolute best heal in the game

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the threads of our lives…

Well i never put def on Dark armor. I believe that stealth, to hit debuff, stun and fear are the defenss in Dark. But in a S/L farm i would build it to softcap.
