Snarky

Since the water in CoH is only about three feet deep I am unsure it is necessary…. Ever seen Nessie out of the water? Thanks to some geeky friends I have. Just a neck and head. Damned disturbing really

Would that be a “failure to Launch?”…

I still have a burning resentment over the “free 17” (19?) wizards ghat is actually a kill all

Yeah, i look at the focused accuracy as a huge loss. I still run a +tohit/+acc heavy build. That took it to the comfort zone however. It is a playstyle rhythm to be sure. Watching your end bar and knowing whether you need to make a blue or have time for your end drain to come off cooldown. And a dozen other interesting corners to get around. Once you get the feel it is beautiful

Busy schedule right now, people to talk to, bodies to bury, you know. I can look at mids in a few days The important thing is you can run it. I mentioned some players have complained they cannot keep my build alive. I find it nearly unkillable. I do like you softcap idea. For the trade off it seems reasonable. For 95% of content your life (unlife?) will be easier. That said I always build for that other 5%. I get shit luck. Or peeps hate vampires. Hard to say. My newest thought comes from some forum posts. Adding Soul Mastery Darkest Night to my Dark Darks. This will drop some more end, which no doubt can only be solved with Alpha slot or judicious use of end drain / refill power. (Which i am good at watching). It will reduce incoming damage by more to hit debuffs and flat out damage reduction. I need to play teat that too

I am sure when they are yelling at kids it is one of the simpler grammar structures. The bitch of German is the fluidity of the sentence structure reliant/based on modifiers to nouns for identifying purposes in sentences. Small word changes everywhere which is truly the key to fluency

Cant wait to haul that cigar smoking strongman BNY all around. (I quit the game for 6 months once when they made it a Apr 1 joke and banned me from complaining about it on boards….

…you gotta ask?…

Solid stone? Go with granite. Build unnecessary but get TP pool. Um, try to find a kin….

Now I have slammed this onto my main, the Dark Dark Brute. An easier fit than on the Tank (for me) Will do some playtesting. Seriously love the theme though, so unless it will not run at all then it is my new version.

so 4 is good there lol?

Actually i run mag 4 on my tank and brute Dark. Except against a very few opponents it is fine. And i mean very very few

I hate the mids of last couple years. How did they screw it so hard? Yeah, I havent the changed version. End was a concern but not a huge concern. I did lose the physical epic group but i was running accuracy toggle on it. I’ m guessing end us slightly worse. But i was having zero issues. Have to test it out

Yes! Fatten them up so my horde of zombies will have an epic feast! I need good video, not picking at the bones of half starved creatures huddled over whiteboards with "future code" on it. I need fat bloody limbs bouncing off those boards! My zombies are training right now!

I looked at slamming this on my Dark Dark Tank, and took the opportunity to add Rune of Protection...because. Any comments on the possible different performance features? Tanker - Dark Dark RES Final order fixed.mxd Tanker - Dark Dark RES oddball Dark Night.mbd

I am sorry for your loss. My best wishes for Punchy in her new journey.

about the only thing that will easily kill it is CRACKLE in Magisterium trial and Hami without using a special inspiration. Again, i use the less tough Brute version to Tank Lord Recluse in Ms Lib TF Master Runs. Recluse does massive energy damage..... My build is rock solid. in my opinion chasing def on a armor with no DDR is a waste of build strategy. especially with the "faux def" Dark puts up. There is slightly more defense in the Brute build. Again, I do Tank with it, but it is not built as a Tank. It is built to assassinate small tough groups, solo victoria robots and her warworks helpers, and get through hard content by shock and awe. It uses inspirations, and strategy to stay up. I have heard some people say they die all the time running it.... without using purples or tanker sets? the tank would probably about as tough as my dark dark Brute, but i am not going into mids to build it lol, Snarky 5.1 Brute (Dark Melee).mxd

I just posted my Dark Dark build in the question asked a few minutes ago in Tanker. It is a purist build and I included a rant with why I think it should be built that way.

leaving out Death Shroud is such a mortal sin I do not know how to address it. I have seen people leave out the mezze toggles, and I think it is so much weaker, to each their own. But a damage Aura. um. cough. But you left out Midnight Grasp.... So, I suppose damaging anyone was not on your design board. Teleport pool? You have stealth. If you want teleport for theme use Mystic Flight and get a Bamph TP bonus. You can fly your ball of hate anywhere on a map unseen by 98% of enemies and get your work done. Fold space? Fly your butt the 80 feet. Most will not see you. The few that do you probably wanted to collect their agro anyways. Why you need Fold Space without a damage aura? Okay, dropping that topic. Sigh. Dark thrives on Purple Sets. Because it is a resist armor set that FEEDS on Accuracy and to hit buffs. YOU hit them, they stumble around, cower in fear, whiff when they try to hit you. You need to hit to HEAL. For Soul Drain. Did you know that RES is what stops (-resistance debuffs)? So a RES value of 100% (hard capped at 90, but the game track the hidden number for this) resists all resistable -resistance debuffs. -res debuffs will chew through your armor values in a few brutal seconds. While a solid built RES armor will just stand there and be like "what does that power do? Is that supposed to be funny?" ps, compare your resist values to mine. there are no incarnate powers yet on my build, when you add them....fuggedaboutit Why do i bother? You probably will not take this advice and will decide Dark Dark is weak after running it a few days. Good luck on your next Alt.

I really need to formalize this info and save it. But here goes.... I prefer Dark Dark on a Brute over a Tank due to non suppressing Stealth. It is INCREDIBLY good on a Tank, it is just that I am a theme purist. If the Armor wants to go somewhere I tend to follow. In my opinion not taking all the toggles is a very bad idea. Defense > Resist > Heal in this game. Dark takes that statement, pretzels it, and sells it back to you. Using mezzes to slow the trash and to-hit debuffs to further reduce incoming damage creates a "faux defense" that cannot be reduced by -defense debuffs. When facing a real boss/AV etc you have some of the A tier resists in the game, along with a S tier Heal.(which is up embarrassingly quick) Dark uses AoE stun and AoE fear to mezze the nobodies. This gets rid of a ton of annoying incoming attacks. Dark Dark uses to hit debuffs to also reduce incoming attacks. Dark has non suppressed stealth. When they cant see you eating their friend twenty feet away you can call that defense. So Defense strategy set Now, your big bads ignore most of that. Soooo… some of the best resists in the game. Do not neglect energy resistance. It can be built into a nice neighborhood. I have Tanked Rom on a Master Run (with a Dark Dark BRUTE!!!) because i have energy resistance BEST heal in the game. Available every few seconds. with hasten up sits at 11 sec recharge. From .0001 health to 100%. Dark Melee provides very good ST damage. Bolstered by Dark armor damage aura there is decent AoE as well. Tanker - Dark Dark revised Apr 23.mxd

Dont get them mixed up

Heh

People play MMs? 😳

To my (admittedly untrained) ear most fluent german speakers utter their sentences in unbroken chains. Given that German grammar allows (whole sections) of sentences to move around in ways english never would…. The (whole section) sometimes (again, to my ear) becomes one long spoken word. That may have naturally given rise to using “run on compound words” to become a regular part of the vocabulary. No idea, German language history is a long way off in my meager studies

Das ist gut.
