Dark Armor has more problems than KB on a tank. I have a 50d Dark Dark Tank i never run. My main is a Dark Dark Brute…with no taunt. No room. Dark has the issue of a non suppressed stealth. Which works GREAT for the Brute. No defense? Not as much of an issue when you can kill everyone in your general area while everyone outside that circle ignores you. Not great for Tanking

Yes the P2W endurance discount temp is an often overlooked lifesaver I slot 4pts of KB prot on my Dark Brute. That is sufficient 95% of time. 8 pts is good 97%, and 12pts is good 99.5%. I am a min maxer, 4 does the bulk of the work

very situationally useful. probably a rare. you will find if you play one character for months you find interesting edge case uses for any power. i like Blasters with two holds. those can nail a paragon protector or victoria robot in place long enough to kill them. this is not going to be that useful unfortunately. the set has mez prot, acc, +hp, and a great ranged defense. i chase set bonuses like a hound dog. also, if for any reason your damage bonus gets floored....it does have a damage proc in it

your build looks real similar to ones i make indeed. I made a couple mods for you to think about. i would definitely drop a psi res out of resist and puit in the kismet if nothing else.

after re reading the last page i begin to suspect 1 of 2 things are happening 1) i am trying to dialogue with the bottom 50% of the population in terms of understanding things 2) i am being trolled in an effort to get a response since the last time i was rebuked by a GM i took a 6 month break from CoH I am going to stop posting on all the boards for a while. some rejoice, some mourn, most go on wondering wtf anyways, i am a busy old vampire with little energy to educate and/or be vexed. good night

Dark Armor is incredibly end heavy when run well (which means using its Fear and Stun toggles to mitigate damage due to lack of traditional defense. This is normally overcome by pairing it with something like Dark melee which has an end recovery power there is a pay to win end management power. get it. keep blue inspirations on hand. As soon as possible get your endurance accolades. every bit helps

If you buy a stock at one price and sell it at a different price (higher or lower) then you have made or lost that amount. But the other party then has the chance to buy/sell the same item. The stock may change hands hundreds of times. Each owner making a profit or loss. But the money is not LOST. It keeps switching hands. When you lose $100 on a stock the money does not disappear from the economy. If people keep bidding more on the item that is where the cash comes from. When people sell it for less they lose their cash. (Think pyramid scheme or bitcoin) But the funds are traceable transaction by transaction as to who is putting money into the stock and who is taking money from the stock.

You think money disappears on the stock market rather than change hands? you prefer the phrase “market forces apply pressure on price indexes” over “Joe the CEO decided we need to raise the sell price 25% this week, again” You are probably more comfortable with “taking the herd to market” over “ butcher the pigs” as well

No money has ever been “lost” on the stock market either. It just changes hands look, use whatever doctoral level words make you feel better. SOMEONE is changing the price and making money. You get that right? I mean, “surely you can contemplate the intricacies of the situation?”

I think (memory on an old vampire….it hurts to guess at what i used to know) is seeded at 1 mil by Devs. Last night i saw it see saw 500-800+. I bought a few at 500k. (My max ever on rare). Then i craft convert and sell what i get in drops. My usual way of slowly building up a decent stash. Which i tend to give away half the time lol

So no one is actually “manipulating” the price of gas. It just mystically changes all on it’s own. I never knew that. Thanks

One of the main tricks for amassing a few billion (once you learn the basics and i guess you have) is run your 50(s). Generating new alts and outfitting them (and running pre 50) costs Influence, and earns less. Running as a 50 you get Influence and Recipe drops and rewards that add up. And if you are running the 50 you already have built you are spending nothing

i love free money. my global....(smiles) is @Snarky

soooo the average price being one thing for years jumping to approx 10x that price and staying there is not evidence to you of anything. cool hey folks, gas prices are not going up. there is no proof. energy crisis solved.

i take it you are not part of "this community?" and we are talking uncommon. get on point nerd

You do not know how to read for context and logic very well do you? So very sorry. A good High School or Community College may help I am explaining that someone is spending hours, possibly days manipulating the market for very little return. I also mentioned that I have flipped as many as 5 purples at a time (converting them to ones people were bidding on but not getting) as I randomly looked for a Purple for myself. You equate my activity in converting and selling to be the same as someone grinding out thousands upon thousands of petty transactions to drive ip the price on an item Dam. Never mind the college. You stupid

Hence the title of this thread...Idiots manipulating the market. Look, we all gotta finance the army of alts we have. I play a lot of content at 50 and craft/convert/sell for the vast majority of my income. I understand people find niches in the market. Some of these I think bring value to the market. others? prob not, but I get it. 20 bucks is 20 bucks. I once in a while will be shopping for a purple and the market is sideways on one particular enhancer. So.... I will grab another, convert and save myself some cash. If it is truly lopsided I might even grab 5-10 more (rare, but I have done it) and convert, relist, and make a tidy profit. I do not seek this stuff out. But if I see a way to make 5 mil a pop on something I tend to not ignore it. But this crap about uncommon salvage is petty and cannot be a very profitable venture time invested vs influence gained therefore....IDIOTS. Possibly griefers

There is a few weird breaks at 4 and 7 both blue and red then every 5 starting at 9,14,19 etc. some things are not well laid out like the new arcs from dr graves and hero cult er sg

You missed the fact all villains are treacherous backstabbing types who only agree with their own faction, until they inevitably double cross them

I ran one too. Through all content that could not be done after you level past it. (All 1-35, a lot of 35-40, 40-44) on one character. Tracking the Blueside contacts was one small nightmare. Stopping experience and truly assuring you have done all content before starting again was another. This toon did all red/blue/gold. Gold is through ouro. But the origins were the most annoying. In that something that should be straightforward was so complicated. The wiki is helpful there. Breaking down the contacts into origin groups in each level range oh, also with one toon gaming hard this took me months. Hundreds of gaming hours

Welcome!

yeah, i have a Dark/Invul Brute with a very similar build and had my clock cleaned....fast....by a Psi AV i did not realize was in a room. 2 shotted even after i hit dull pain and ate a purp and orange

no offense taken. redside. bestside.

I have 54 vet levels on mine. Been parked almost a year and a half. Still enhanced. Moved on due to 1) Vampire 2) rage Crash. so.... over 100 vet levels on a Dark/Dark now. No holes. Defenses are intricate non defense layered defenses though
