Snarky

I just found more video. This guy was also in vietnam. Saw video of him on a little river boat. Same dude that wears those funky sweaters. You guys need to step up your searches

Because i am nervous moving a few billion enhancers around and the last time i did one the game crashed. Then you have to /cleartray and i inevitably re-hotkey a bunch of stufff. It is just a pain

Am i missing something important about parking a character for a week? okay i have a process. I veer from it madly like a kitten chasing a laser pointer and sometimes it just gets blown out of the water completely. This weekend i got a random tell at level 1 invited to a farm. 2 hours later 32. Then i ran posi through manti plus itf. Same person sent another tell. Boom 50. Not my normal process Given a standard (again never happens, but this would be my dream run, i would do this by choice almost always) and what i trend back to when all the laser pointers are put away pop into mercy or atlas. Head to P2W vendor and get a ton of goodies. (I have cash in my email) if it is a villain i head to pocket D to go Rogue. Wish i did not have to, but DFB is 99% a Blue thing street sweep to level 4. Level and Hot key my powers. Run 4 DFB. At this point i want to run 4 DiB but if i am lucky i will get one of these and a badge out of it in the next hours of game play run Posi 1, 2, Synapse, Yin, etc in order. I try to do every Task Force in order but am pretty strict about the first 4. i have a SG base for all my alts stocked with enhancers. I rarely go needy in anything from globals procs ATOs or even low level SOs. keep grinding TFs and a weather eye out for high level teams if no good TF are running. Good being one i have not run in the last 20 hours and better if i need it. I will run ITF multiple times. The experience is great and the chance for purple drops is sweet. Same concept behind high level teams. hit 50. Over 50% time i go through a painful respec then. Off to ouro for incarnate intro mission. Run more of any content to earn incarnate goodness oh last part, very important, alt again

I vet two to three PvP on a good week. I do zero PVP (hate it) and run at below 35 95% time. Purples I get less of because i dint run that content. I ran a new toon in PI and picked up two purples in one day on it though these rates must be better than on live plus the PvP drops in any content we live in a blessed corner of the galaxy

No he was in the military. Same guy like a captain or something. Went and saved a private with his squad behind German lines

You guys remember Pee Wee Herman? I ttok one look at the character and was like. No Way. I remember that guy. It is “the Hamburger Man” from Cheech and Chong. Great characarter good actor no way should be doing kids sjows i get the same vibe here. Not sure what he is doing marketing to kids but there is an off vibe to it but we all know the rumors about Mr Rogers being ex-military. The video of it finally surfaced. You can see him leading a squad if americans in WW2 shooting nazis. It is the same guy!

Heh. That means we are no longer sitting around watching kids tv. Prob a good thing. Yeah that memory was totally sideways for me to the topic though; yes to helping people. We want the game to be accessible to those who have not played it through years and now are grinding away like its new again i try to answer questions with as much info as i can and try to write to someone who may not know what all the abbreviations and secret knowledge in the game is. People who may have been playing a few weeks or maybe some young geek just diving into mmorpg. there are many levels to this game. You can enjoy it running on SOs and having no idea what TFs are or how to survive a Mayhem Mission. And inventions? Looks way overhead. Because that was the way i ran for months. And i loved it. I broke out of the zig so many times when i first found the game i now have PTSD about lockups 😆

Nah i was remembering something totally different. 🤔. Good effort though 😎

The reason i slapped it on Tanker is the AoE changes. And they are generous enough that you might want to look. Also with the weird arm motions i was able to make a joke Tank Mage and to me that is priceless

I don’t run Stone. I live Dark. And i run mostly Invulnerability using all Hyperstrikes ideas. i know what you mean about chasing an old build though. I want to recreate a super high recharge Dark/Invul Brute i ran back on Live. It was also a build i copied from a really elegant builder. Man i wish i had any of that data now good luck

Pit one foot in front of the other. Soon you,ll be walking out that doooor. Put one foot in front of the other.... okay flashback to mr frostmeister over. Whew

80 views 1 day 0 replies am i seriously the only person weird enough to find a use for Kinetic Melee?

Why you keep saying Hero? I mostly run Rogue. My main is a Rogue. Rogues are more money focused and better able to address this topic anyways. Hero? GTFO Hero? Bah

This. Also you will find a LOT of good information being dispensed on these boards. These gamers are knowledgeable and seriously trying to help. The help is directed at dealing with what we have and how various people have problem solved it. Whether that is soloing an AV min/maxing a build running an efficient Supergroup or earning cash to bling out a thousand alts. not saying this is the method you will use. I am sure my method of earning will be looked down on by ‘real entrepreneurs” but it is comfortable for me and it works. also you may be the one that comes up with an entirely new way if doing something. Thats what all these geeks do. Me? I run my head into a wall a few times then come here to find out where the door is when i get tired of that 🤪

To address this very real problem. I have had a moment where i am sitting on hundreds of millions and the enhancer i want is not on the market. Sooooo. I buy another pvp purple or archetype. Sometimes in same set. Othertimes way out there cause it is cheaper. And i convert until i have the one i want there is a theme to my answers. enhancement converters. They will solve almost all your building issues. Whether it is a lack of funds or there not being the exact enhancer you want on the auction i cannot stress enough how much a difference it makes. If you are currently converting merits to converters and selling them then crafting will net you 2-3 times as much. And give power to create out of nothing earn merits and buy whatever you want

About a month ago i had the same complaint. The difference now is night and day. Yet i still have no fire farmer and alt as much as ever. to make it simple: craft enhancers. run content. Tinpex gets 80 merits and 2 emps or random incarnate stuff. Weeklies give easy merits. Run content on your character. I get PVP and Purple drops pretty regular take the merits change them to enhancement converters. Buy cheap level 30 recipes. Craft 20-70. Start converting them until you have heals, res, def, end mod sets. Convert those to specific sets that sell well or have procs globals. Convert within set to get desired enhancer. Sell enhancer. Merits—-> process—->cash just running 50 content with a big team also earns well. See a 50 team running in PI. Ads it will take anyone. Go be part of the muscle. You will earn and help community. And maybe get a purple drop. But TFs are king. ITF LGTF LRSF etc. weeklies. Anything that earns merits earns good cash

Help me understand this set please. A fee things; I found a character i like this set on. Thus is not in any AT section because i want input on the set not the AT. There is more traffic here and therefore a better shot at getting answers soooo. How does the boost power work on this set? my experience; i’ve been playing this on a Brute but Friday night i started a Tank and now i have an incarnate 50 with this set. My observations; on a Tank i am spamming Taunt and using the two AoE as the bulk of my work. I ran a bunch if TF on it and unless i was on a Elite Boss or AV this was the bulk of my work. After hours working with it i finally got into a rhythm of hitting the buff, hitting one or two quick attacks to build up a bit then launching the AoEs on an AV i go into single target mode. I hit the buff do some quick attacks then the big attacks Kinetic Melee is very odd. It has a ranged mode. This is short range (30-40) but it is definitely playable at that range. Which means the buff is not available because that is fed by melee attacks (right???). This works really well for the Mage Tank i rolled both conceptually visually and playstyle wise. My only issue is knockback. I crammed the build with sets and left no room for KB—>>KD procs. In fact until i did my level 50 respec i had a proc in the PBAoE that had a KB chance. When that hit they went flying. If i buffed up and gained a couple stacks in the Kinetic buff then hit the AoE and it proc’d? Fughedaboutit. They sailed like Atlas Park hellions hit by a Judgement power. I respec’d out of that and It seems less of a problem now. The cone still does knockback. I actually like that as it can be useful if you take the time to “forcefully herd” the enemies. It can be a pain for your ST melee teammates. The key is using it smartly any advice on this set, breakdown of using the powers and especially a better explanation of the buff power would be appreciated thanks is there a guide somewhere? Just thought about that but already tyoed all this out so j am posting it lol thanks

Well that is where my problem came in. I wasnt following the tank. I was predicting where the tank would be in a minute (inv brute surv time at that level) and jumping in there to grab agro. And i was wrong lol

Yeah. That was a rough Posi 1. Group kept splitting. I liked the lead Tank (pmsavenger) but i didnt realize she was clearing everything until we were 90% done with TF and i had died 3 times lol. I was like. “Why is no one at the next group, we always do this group next?!?” Sigh. I really suck at this game lol

I’ve never had a Badger. Started one about two months ago and am slow leveling them while badging almost all Red and some Blue. At 34 and a little iver 500 badges

Okay standard old school slotting is attacks 1 accuracy 2 damage 2 recharge 2 end reduction. If you do not have enough slots chop from the back. So if you only had room for 3 it would be acc dam dam. armors get two armor enh 2 end reduction. Same chopping. you should really look at putting some invention enhancers on. The first is the Performance shifter +endurance proc in the Stamina power. If you are having end issues that still gives you the ability to slot 2 regular End Mod enhancers in there you should really look at the Paragon Wiki section on Enhancement Diversification. Basically the third enhancer of the same type in any power does less good. The fourth almost nothing. good luck

I got a new 50! This is actually rare for me these days. I alt a lot so after mid 30s I am already turning over new ideas This concept was the dovetailing of a number of events and discoveries. Firstly the Tanker changes with larger AoE. So shouldnt i make an AoE tank? I have been running a weird little robot using Kin Melee on a Brute. The arm motions are odd but the toon is so ridiculous it fits. I thought maybe that would be good to experiment with. Okay so the arm motions which evidently come from Tai Chi and look pretty wizardy. Tank Mage? I read that somewhere. Okay. CoT costume with Ascension glowy gloves and boots and flaming backpack. Skull for a head. Backstory some spirit summoned by CoT that was like gtfo and left. Name? Snark Snark Snark. Hmmm. Snarkanus! Looked at what i typed. No. That is not going to work. Internet research 1 min. Snarkanum! That was so close and into the city. Hero side for DFB. Got a tell at 1st level you need PL? Uh. Sure?!? (This is rare for me. Not unheard of but i am not part of farmer community). So two hours later 33. While being PL’d i download Hyperstrike Invul blank template and fill in KM as secondary. Tank ATOs, one set Winter and 3 Purple sets seem to be where i want to go. this was all Friday night. Saturday Morning i get up Start slotting and buying. Most is in base except i spend all my Synapse TF endless week money onPurple sets. i run Posi 1,2, Synapse, Yin, Citadel, Manticore and one other i think Croatoa TF. Level 42. And liking it. It looks and feels like the Tank Mage i was going for. Uh. No room for KB to KD procs. Well. Its concept. Still sucks but oh well. I avoid cone on bridge with Dr Vahz and stuff like that i seriously get another tell from same farmer. (I am being stalked? Must be winning personality). I am 50d. Saturday night ends i get up Sunday respec into purples. (Was using kinetic Melee as placeholders appropriately enough) go through ouro incarnate mission. Run an ITF run some PI stuff Do a summer BB. (Perfect run and i do one only on e every 3 months) Alpha slot tier 3. Tier 1 in next two slots then i alted to a brand new Energy/Invul Brute for the rest if Sunday. Because. More characters!!!

I play SS. It is in my main. I have played it a lot going all the way back to my first character. So. Rage crash is annoying. Here is what you do: pull up the character info. All the data with resists defenses health damage bonus etc. click on monitor damage bonus. Slap that somewhere near where you monitor your attack powers keep a weather eye in the damage bonus. It will hit the floor for a few seconds every two minutes. Oh no! I will die! Forfend, wither and what shall we do? first take a deep breath. Okay if you do it yoga style your damage is back to normal continue playing. But youre not gonna do that are you? sooooo. Combine inspirations. Maybe pop one or three. Delete the ones that are useless use Sands of Mu or Blackwand/Nemesis staff. They are not subject to damage bonuses. They work fine. at incarnate level use your Judgement power. Not subject to damage bonuses. Works fine look around and see what your idiot teammates are up to. You think you know but you been crazy busy. What are they really doing? reposition your character. This is a great time to taunt if you are a tank. Change the battlefield bu controlling your enemies. use a power that does not do damage. I run a lot of Rogues and so use the PBAoE confuse power here. It’s fun, helps you clear content faster, and increases Your survivability Think of all the reasons Snarky annoys you. Like lecturing you and calling you a whiny baby for losing out on a few seconds damage on one of the most powerful sets in the game for melee okay. Get back to fighting now. Go on. Keep an eye on that damage bonus

I am running a concept toon and Energy Melee fits it well. I actually like it which helps i am using the base invul build with blank attacks from Hyperstrike. Then added some Brute ATOs and 2 winter sets. I got Energy Res to 55%. To me the build looks sloppy still i use P2W jetpack for travel i took energy mastery both END powers, AoE cone and ACC (that got a Reticle in it) it’s not a horrid build. Probably just new builders jitters lol. On to the main topic; Energy Melee. I did not take the first power, or Taunt but grabbed the rest. Pretty standard Brute stuff. The set looks damn straightforward to the point of boring after playing SS, KM and DM. Just hit things or place the AoE and choose when do i hit build up. Which is kind if a nice break after SS and forced time outs, KM and its really odd attack chains, diff for range, melee, groups, and bosses. And of course DM which is always about planning

I ran ss/invul brutes and invul/ss tanks on SOs when i first started back on live. If you carry some blues you will find the sets are already monster strong by then on SOs.
