Snarky

It's the nuke..... You get a choice of a nuke you can only 5 slot so you can throw a nerf proc in it (reports are that does not work perfectly) or you get a nuke Energy Blasters (long shunned by fast teams) would be jealous of the knockback on....

I have successfully not posted this for….many days. But i just worked 24 of the last 48 hours and the Snark is roaring… In a world…where we have went through so much… In a dimension…that so many of us thought we had lost… In a time…when so many of us are confused…about why the H the NEW Blaster set is all about knockback! Did someone not bolt your robotic components on straight before you sat down to design this set? Have you quit cigarettes cold turkey and this was the brain dying? Did you get attacked by a water monster and the earth seemed comforting? Just tell us, we will listen. We will judge, sure. But we will listen.

i am using a best buy rig from 2 years ago. it is excellent. omen 875 intel i7 9700 3.0 ghz, 16gb ram, 64bit, output to a 55 inch samsung tv rig was around 900 on a thanksgiving sale. tv was 650? i think

I would love to see a Task Force that pushed deeper into the Dr Vahzilok storyline. Yes, we got lovely story arcs on blueside and redside recently that added depth there. And whetted my appetite for more and more and more. It would be truly spectacular if it was not red/blue but instead like DFB or a holiday event. Maybe with a hook that makes it logical to form in Pocket D or RWZ. Then mixed teams could enjoy the madness

This is generally more of a thing after 30. There are some things you can do for a build before 30 with I/Os but SOs are more powerful slot for slot until after 30 and set bonuses are difficult to maximize

I believe a lot of posting on boards is self exploration. People looking for insight and similar/conflicting outlooks on a topic. It is also interesting to read posts that challenge the "why" of something. That can say a lot about the topic. It can also give information on people's attitudes about others posts.

For me the ride at 50 is twofold. Yes, I do get an endorphin rush from blasting more powerful abilities and better defenses. But, while more subtle, the satisfaction of teaming with great players and running content is remarkable Enjoy your style of play. I am not sure if you solo more or team a lot or mix it up. I currently have a 29 Brute I am soloing every contact in the game on. Red/Blue/Gold. 25-29 Blue is….. not quick. I have been at this project since early October. Granted I work full time and have a lot of SG activities on other characters, so it does not have my full attention. If you want to explore a playstyle this type of project might be for you

i been to Everlasting. very shardy.

Voted. Total votes are 70 right now. So I have some electoral status. heh. Homecoming with a slight lead.

Go! Do it! We are the best! errrr.... um. Go where?

Yeah. No. 1) you over think this 2) many simpler (and arguably better) solutions have been offered 3) they will do nothing 3a) catering to they “waaah you wanna steal my double stack” crowd by doing nothing is easier than fixing a long standing issue

Willpower is great. The only reason I do not use it is that Invulnerability (when properly built) is better. You do have to build Willpower to play to its strengths, then play it that way. Do not try to “fix” Willpower by building it like Invulnerability. Built it for more health, add in sorcery Rune of Protection. Alternate Willpower’s Strength of Will, Rune of Protection, and orange inspirations to handle the nastiest Alphas. It is truly a powerful Armor built correctly. In my opinion. As long as you do not spend all your I/O budget trying to turn it into Invulnerability’s little brother that is

Here is a Elec/Temp Blaster (that i think) pushes Blaster survivability as far as it can go. Surpassing Sentinels even, again, in my opinion. This is achieved by being VERY (only...) far ranged and using high ranged defense. But wait, there's more. This build has Phase Shift. A power from the Invisibility pool that grants you 30 seconds of complete safety. Wait, there's more. This build has Personal Force Field from Force Mastery, granting insanely high Defense. Granted, like with Phase Shift, you cannot affect anything. But...very safe. Wait, there's more. This build has Force of Nature, from the Force Mastery pool. When activated all Resistances except Psi are increased 35% and your End recovery is way increased. The build has 45% S/L resistance through set bonuses. The build does NOT do the damage of a Fire/Fire Blaster in Melee range. But if you can die while playing this build as designed you are in some deep crapola.... This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.5.7 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Lol. I missed that quote somehow But i just posted something a couple hours ago in the Harken’s dead thread that I thought might get me censored…. (Any hint of censorship and someone will definitely need to take iver the mantle)

Strangely enough I just did this mission. I am soloing the game (every contact, every arc, every side story. Red. Blue. Gold.) This mission was my first failure on this toon. A number of factors played into this. Multiple objectives. Purposefully confusing maps. Obsure mechanics. But I think we cannot overlook the underlying fact that the Dev who wrote this piece of shit was a complete asshole.

It is an easy fix really. Take any small tool (although a hammer works best) and beat your PC speaker to death

Alternate bodies / composite. Will be quirky no doubt. But having alternate lower bodies (centaurs, sphinx, even the hover platform leg thing the Freak has in redside Doc Buzzsaws new arc…). Alternate torsos. Even harder but any options are good options. Alternate heads. Large Bull/Lion/Robot/brains in jar/Demonic, etc Basically just step out from humanoid and into what is runnable…. I could even groove on running a police droid or something similar for quite a few power sets. Hardly any animation needed. (None but the effects). Although I would prefer an Arachnos droid to a police bot….of course

Not that much better. Any improvement is remarkable. Yet Praetorian NPC regularly try to hump staircases for long minutes at a time. And there are a LOT of staircases in the under ground Prae maps....

I can build a Dark/Invul Brute or Invul/Dark Tank to ride out the crash. This involves a high Recharge build and very conscious management of Dull Pain and Dark Consumption as well as inspirations. However, as pointed out by builders much better than me…. It is not worth it. Even though my non Unstoppable build is extremely close to my Unstoppable build the benefits of adding Unstoppable (there are truly few times Invulnerability will benefit from this power) versus adding any other power (always in short supply of another power pick) do not make good sense. Sigh, and I do love tier 9 uber powers. Anyways, good luck

yeah, because what AR has desperately been needing is a way to be less effective

I recall the last Winter Season Ice doing extra damage. I may have imagined this. i have an incredible imagination... Did Ice do extra damage last year. Will Ice do extra damage this year?

Welcome back Villain! Go to Pocket D. There is a truck on the Redside of pocket D. On that box truck sits a Gull. Ask the Gull to change your alignment. Can do as many times as you want. Rogue and Vigilante are very popular as they allow 100% content Red and blue sides

Defense defense defense. Breakfrees

Have you lost your mind?
