how long does valentine badging go on?

Someone asked me to make an alt last night. Okay. Spin zone Hours later i am still considering options as i was looking through options i rediscovered this possible pairing. I have never run it. I always shied away from jousting and blapping still... this looks good. I love cone AoE. Dark gets cone madness. Then Psi gets a cone?!? And the damage types. Dark is the least resisted by PvE. Psi is right on its heels. this would not be a hover blaster i am guessing. Hovering is too slow for jousting. Combat jumping and stealth i am guessing? Do you still build for ranged defense and aim to mostly be at 8 feet plus except when dropping in for drive by PBAoE? I rolled the toon but it was late and parked them at 1st any thoughts? Thanks!

Any attack/willpower Brute. Take Taunt, take leadership toggles. Easy is job one. accomplished. Will be very useful to any teammate you are near, both with toggles and drawing enemy fire. Use Taunt. You do very respectable damage so are having fun. GL

Not sure what server you picked. I am on Everlasting. It is busy but i think Excelsior is busier. Not sure about the others Not sure your familiarity with the game or content so hard to throw out suggestions anyways welcome to Homecoming if you feel rusty or nostalgic or really just need to re-figure stuff out i recommend what i do with a lot if my alts. I run a few DFB Death From Below. Then start running the task forces in level order. This helps me learn how an alt plays and have fun with it if you feel you know where everything is and just want to get back to level 50 content i suggest running with Peregrine Island teams, RWZ mothership raids, AE teams and after 35 ITF. After 5-16 game play doing that i am pretty sure you will be 50 or very close to it. Then you can incarnate and run late game content anyways have fun. Oh. That advice is Blueside. But if you are Redside then you already know the drill. Nobody loves you and you got to slip in when opportunity presents itself. Also Going Rogue will allow Redside to do Blueside which brings me to my last bit of advice. Seek out the gull sitting atop a box truck in Pocket D redside outside tiki room. Null the Gull free alignment changes, slight power modifications, and a badge for “becoming more powerul good luck

Interesting

Yes. It feeds off recharge. I have played a lot iofBrutes. I knew this was what i wanted from Dark Dark. Had to learn how to make money and build it first all the PBAoE are attacks. The buff, the heal, and the end recovery. For tactics they are spammed as attacks. I was surprised to find even in a Synapse when i exemped down this was true no one pays much attention to the beast because it gets a stealth aura. All of its damage is when you are right up on it. Just a little patch of hate. It farms well. I havent cranked it past +2 on a farm but it clears +2/x8 like a lawnmower

Again mag 3 kb prot is not great. Mag 4. Good. Mag 5-10 is basically mag 4 mag 11 is better than 4

I think that got it!

Keep in mind (from what i understand you want 4 or 11 pts KB prot. 7 or 8 is basically 4. So is 10. 4 and 11 are the sweet spots. GL

Will post again when i get home sorry. I am not good with mids

Was in Fort Darwin years back. Was laughing because my friend walked by and pointed out two names in the Fort. “Flamesy” and “Thiswillwork”. welcome back!

Hey folks i could use some build help. I have looked for something similar and cannot find anything. i am looking for an Energy/Time Build. I do not like villain epics and will use Energy Epic. Not sure i need Haste? Hover stealth CJ. Am going to use Invisibility as i solo a bit and fly. I doubt i will have room but love supahfly afterburner. Manuevers? I am thinking fighting pool as set mule for +6 global def procs and weave? i have enough inf to really build this thing up. Already have base ATOs and overwhelming force slotted at 24. But chasing ranged defense is throwing me off a bit and bow to do it efficiently i will post my hardscrabble effort later. Unless someone just slaps “the build!” Up here first. Please! Lol thanks

Roll an Invulnerability Armor TankerBrute or Scrapper Seriously though what do you mean by resource? It will vary by character greatly. Are you talking inf costs? Enhancer cost slots? Power choices? There are a lot of ways to solve this problem. Which manner are you trying to maximize? For myself i just started a new Blaster. I am not rolling in Infamy but if i spend a week i can grab a billion. Not as much fun as rolling alts lol. I slapped a set of overwhelming force on the character for the set bonuses and as Energy he needs KB to KD which OF has. And 6 slotting the set? 4pts KB prot. To me this is almost free. Since i chose the set for three other reasons. It has the KB—->KD proc. It has ranged defense. It is a solid set to enhance a power. -KB prot too? I hadnt even noticed when picking it (i normally run melee that dont need it so unfamiliar). So. Free. Free is good

I joined a group called "Villains of Paragon city" A heavy Evil RP SG that runs a lot on Blue and some on Red. Evidently a reboot of a group from Virtue. They are doin base construction. There are 10 or more peeps on each time I log in. They do in game events. I thought it might not be a great fit because my toon is a pure villain., and they did a SG event Blueside as I rolled in. But I like to give everything a chance and I enjoy mostly rolling solo except for TF and RP. Harder on a Blaster but that is the challenge isn't it.? Then last night, out of the Blue (I suppose literally here?) a leader offers up the Redside Bank badge run. 5-6 of us rolled all night, not just grabbing badges but wrecking the Mayhem maps and robbing banks. We even did Atlas twice because someone missed the badge (late joiner?) and we robbed that bank again. Invader accolade done! Those of you who have been dedicated Redsiders know how nice it is to get that out of the way. Also, I am impressed with the group a lot for doing the event and doing it well. If you have a inkling to do some crimes look up this SG!

it sucks.

There are some melees i wont play because of mechanics. I forget which sword set has a super complex chain of attack possibilities with different outcomes. Not for me. Never rolled one. Dark Armor looks complex but it is not if you just Brute through and run everything. If you build on the cheap you may have to juggle toggles. I wont run Bio Armor because the graphics. It has to be managed ti get more effectiveness the most complex i can think of would be a MM/traps. You have to plan and execute plan juggling pets toys and locations to maximize effectiveness

About the only way to get 100% Fury is with the Villain alignment power. A year or so (?) before the big snap they changed (freakin’ nerf bat) the Brute Fury mechanism because Brutes (mostly hogh level but i will still blame you farmers) were consistently doing more damage than Scrappers. They had already launched Going Rogue so except for concept toons Scrappers were not going to be picked by high level players. The new change to Brutes made it easier to keep your Fury bar higher, so slight removal of the harshest part if the nerf. But they also lowered the max damage on Brutes. They give with one hand and watch what the other hand is doing

Okay expanding in my legless and miniature giant mech stuff: legs that are just “hover pods”. Inanimate but maybe glowing or with jet exhaust going. Hiver engine legs of various types. Then for the mage types you can do the same thing but magic theme. Flowing cloth/ethereal streams.

Two things. Ghosts. Floating legless apparitions. Perfect for my hover blasters and doms. Basically floating legless let anyone do what they want from there gun arms. Make a miniature giant mech!!! Again only really useful for gun mostly or ranged attack. Still. O the possibilities

I have a villain concept toon i have always wanted to run. A pure Redside Blaster. Pure Villain. I am leaning towards a Brain in a jar on top of a robot with Energy Blast powers. I do have a backstory for it. I am getting ready to drop this thing into Mercy. I was wondering if there are any Redside RP groups that I could join?

Let them eat cake. Track them down and eat them. Am i running too many zombie characters?

I would like to see the extra incarnate powers that we will maybe see in a year or three temporarily filled with powers from various pools. And. ... at tier 3 or 4. Extra enhancer slots (builders do the snoopy happy dance here). i could be wrong. I am wrong a LOT. But i am guessing adding powers and slots in this fashion will be much more friendly to existing coding than adding entirely new game effects and powers like the current incarnate powers. (Which are great). i suggest this in humbleness. And hopefulness. We are very grateful for what we have. I would be pretty happy to game away with The current setup for a long time. So would many of us But looking forward to the near future there does not appear to be a ton of new content rolling out. This suggestion allows an existing part of the game to be expanded Game balance will of course be affected. I have not visualized all the ramifications of throwing this boulder in the pond. But i just really like the heft of this rock. And the water just seems a perfect 🎯 target
