Snarky

Thank you. But no. At heart I am a Rogue, at best. Not even a Vigilante. Definitely not a Hero. I spent quite some time working on my anti social behavior, the reasons for it, the consequences, and better responses with a great group of people. But my initial reaction, despite all that training, is.....not socially acceptable. Being behind a screen can take the filter off for most of us. One of the reasons I post so much is to continue to work on my social skills, communication, and staying part of a community instead of someone dropping verbal bricks lol. But my initial feeling is almost always to reach for a brick. Many times I look down and there is a brick in my hand and I did not even think about picking it up. So....I edit a lot 🙂 Glad you are okay. The best thing we can do is support each other. I even feel some empathy for the idiots who hacked that server. I have no knowledge of the technical circumstances. In my mind there is an equal chance it is some punk duping rares rather than some random troll griefing that caused the entire mess. Can you imagine how awful that person must feel to know they have screwed people they gamed with over that badly?

I never recommend putting Gaussian proc on auto fire. It can fire while you are standing in a hallway doing nothing. I use it manually right before I need a ton of damage, way increases the chances of it being effective. in my opinion.

Yeah, I dont think i clicked on anything but maybe I did. I will check tonight. Thanks.

I stepped on egg shells writing my first post here. I was soooo careful because this issue brings up all the anger (and fear) of losing the game. There is a part of our community going through that again. Any time stuff this charged comes up I have to avoid rhetoric and stay hyper focused. I am sorry about your facebook group status.

I mostly Brute but I experiment with Blasters. THis is one of my happiest experiments, Dark/Mental. If you love hover blasting cones....this is it! Then you jump in to Drain Psyche and drop a nuke, then back out to working the edges.

Maybe I am abusing it (I am) because I am running Cim story arcs. But after a couple no problems ports to Cim now the LFg transport dumps me at Ada Wellington in Khallisti every time i try to pop to Cim on it

A non gun fully ranged Blaster set (including the tier 9) that is ,,,,not needed to be best damage,,,,,but not the worst possible choice you settle on because it is ranged. (hello Elec, Ice, how ya doing....)

Signature Story Arc - Paragon Wiki Archive

The list of zones above. Many questions arise that you have not given info on.... Are you Blueside (as is assumed) Redside, (my hope fellow villain) or Goldside? Beyond the advice to check zones by level there is necessary info before anyone can answer your question well. If Blueside, it is Atlas Park, then (usually) to Kings Row. Then Maybe Faultline which is a hoot. (Buy a jetpack from P2W) Then Steel, Skyway, and on and on... Blueside has many many alternate paths Redside, Mercy to Port Oakes, to Cap au Diablo to Sharkhead to Nerva to St Martial to Grandville. at 35 it is worth it to go to RWZ as well.

i am nearing 100 vet levels on this guy and closing in on 1100 badges lol. I think I am committed. Plus, beyond concept (which I love) the AoE buff power and End Recovery power in Dark Melee just mesh so perfectly with Dark Armor. The DoT just climbed through the roof on a saturated Soul Drain.

Beyond the great sadness at fellow gamers being griefed I think it is important for us all to be aware. To do what we can, even if it is just to stay informed. First they came for someone in the neighborhood. i did nothing. Then for someone on my street. i did nothing. Then my next door neighbor. I didnt know what to do. Now they are here for me....

Not sure if we are allowed to post about things like this. I mean this to be a respectful post. I never play on Sanctuary, I have only ever played on Homecoming. Then went to WoW last April until Oct. I am greatly saddened by this news. Evidently they were hacked repeatedly. That is all I know. they chose to shut down because the ongoing damage and chaos was too great evidently. I know there are elite gamers and 1337 trickstahs in our community who probably know way more about it than this thick old Brute. Still want to get the word out. /em holdtorch in solidarity. Also, if any of you 1337s can track down the gangsters and give them what for....thanks and props.

street hunting was not good originally due to debt . so never really a path there. just slow now. contacts will guide you to correct zones if you level that way.

Nice info. Thank you. Now I can start to visualize how it is done. All the buffs, and knowing exactly where to be....still amazing work. At least now I can wrap my head around how it is accomplished.

anyone seen the data on the changes to AR in Beta?

if you are going ice i recommend ice/cold corruptor. fter trying for a looooong time to get an ice character i liked blaster, sentinel, dom, i discovered ice/cold corr. do not take the team buff powers, its the rest of the set, including two incredibly powerful debuffs in cold domination that do not exist in any other ice/cold sets. they will change the power dynamic in any boss fight right quick, and help versus minions as well. also, the DoT nature of ice/cold works well with Corruptor Scourge ability.

Fair enough. complaints withdrawn. I could never see myself doing it. But I know the next step is to stop Bruting and start Blasting, killing things before they know you are there, everywhere lol. I know some folks can. Some folks can bench press 700. Top right now is just shy of 900 pounds... just shy of 800 without magic shirt.... that will NEVER be me either lol

and you think you could do a Faathim in under 30 that way (posted time was a little over 22 min) not trolling, honestly asking.

even at minimum difficulty some of these times (to me!) are seemingly impossible without outside thumb on the scale from non TF team members. The League TP above being a possible explanation. This is like posting video of yourself bench pressing 700 pounds. ....without showing the ends of the bar being hauled up by 6 friends....

Thank you TheZag, that starts to explain things a lot better. With league mates set up at various points (and scouting for mobs) you could run a Saga of Faathim pretty quick. and at 30 min a pop or so run a few and take the best of time. I can see that. I heap praises on people who play, and play much better than me (I love being a mediocre brute playah!) but don't try to tell me you ran the Kessel Spice run in under 7 parsecs without a little bit of evidence besides a freaking polaroid lol. I can kill a GM solo in under 30 seconds! No one pay attention to the league of people at my back buffing me and debuffing the GM. They arent even in camera angle, they do not count!

I had such fun last night on a Q with my Dark/Dark Brute. Some of the team was a bit reluctant to speed through the missions, and the leaders were lightspeed looking for goals. So I just bumbled my way through the maps trying to help. Danged Rularuu can be ornery lol. I was in one set of tunnels trying to figure if the goal was there. Solo. like, there were a :LOT of Ruluaruu, or Soldiers, or whatever. Eyeballs, wisps, all the freaks. I decide to clear the intersection (why there were so many mobs, groups from each tunnel...) I used every trick I had. maybe didnt have purples, sigh. dropped after a couple minutes. I used Darks self rez, got most of my toggles up and popped a purple, started fighting and trying to get my last two toggles up. Damned things dropped me again! The shame! The challenge! Also been rolling into BAFs and trying to solo all the reinforcement spawns from Siege until end. Thats a rodeo. To me that is thrilling. I have yet to get comfortable on a Blaster beyond heavy fire support for fights I have memorized. But Brutes. Danged, I still love it lol.

Did A Faathim the Commuter TF last weekend hour and a half. Did a Q last night, just under two hours. I see times being posted to the speed TF that I find ... hard to believe. I am no genius, but I ain't ignorant. Speed TF has Faathim at 22 min and Q at 52. Half our team was Incarnated heavy on the Q and all but one of us had TT and every other P2W trick. Maybe with a split up team of incarnates all using fly overboost and knowing exactly where to be you could get very fast. But just finding the mobs at the various points on the Faathim especially is a time eater. Not to mention there are actual missions. I am calling BS on it. You can post that it was done in 7 minutes if you want with a screenshot and a note from Dean Winchester. But something about the WAY it was done is different. Beyond just knowing exactly where everything is and having everything set up and getting lucky. I mentioned my puzzlement. Someone told me you could league up a TF team and use Incarnate league summon on them....Is that possible?

He cant spare the power pick. I looked sat the build enough to see if throwing Rune of Protection on was possible. It would take a hacksaw, bondo, and a lot of glue to even start.

Great name Doug. Reminds me of the zombie TV series, one of the security organizations was Filmore-Graves. It took me way too long to put that together....

I have mostly stopped alting. Before you reach for your rocks, pitchforks and torches hear me out. While this does mean i am not doing endless alt runs through Posi1, posi2, synapse, etc, It does mean i am doing endless ITF, LGTF, MLSF, LRSF, incarnate trials, market crash, SBB, etc. And weeklies. So, my question is. How is alting "key for this game?" Okay, now you can reach for the rocks
