Snarky

I can spend 200 mill in 2 min when kitting out a new build. After running out of stuff in my base i run to the market for the odds, ends, and maybe a purple set or ATO set etc. so, i solicit donations please email cash to @Snarky. Thanks

Leech is a hurtful word. We prefer non derogatory terms of empowerment. For instance, alternate individual life force empowered persons. Thanks

Well, I suppose your faith in your fellow man should be.... commended. By the way, you have never held any teaching positions have you?

Lot of good points Tidge. But...fatal flaw. Assuming people "now know" is a crap bet. Ask any of the endless streams of scammers making money off the endless queues of ignorant people who cannot wait for product X

Common mistakes about Dark. Everything The stealth does not suppress. So unless you fight things like Rikti or Rularu etc that see stealth you are hidden. This is why I like Dark for a Brute more than a Tank Run all toggles. The theory is to deal witb minions and Lts with fear and stun. This is your faux defense. Then your resistance just needs to handle the boss. The heal can take you from 1% to 100%. I have written whole treatises on Dark if tou dig around a few Dark posts in Brute you might find them.

I run Dark. I have tanked Ms Lib master runs on a Brute Dark and Rom was challenging but okay. But i build tough. Dark is great if you understand it. I have seen posts from people who say they used my build and cannot stay alive against ….anything. Whereas I rarely die, and generally only die trying to save a teammate who has do e something horribly stupid

isn't this quote from 10 years ago?

it is not what is in the punch....it is who

Honestly the rare times I enhance this for anything besides damage I put a Theft of Endurance +End proc in it. Generally at low levels and take it out once the end bar stabilizes as the build matures. Once in a great while I might leave it in, prob not in a finished build though. Generally this is a good heal sustain on top of the other MAJOR tricks any armor set/build has. Enhance it as an attack. It is a great attack.

You need to beat the Leprechaun to get it to work.

sore spot. one of the reasons i stepped back from CoH is the PA cost to create tiny toons. I do not run/enjoy Aeon and will not pay a fortune for the privilege of getting PAs to purchase costumes.

no. only stated incarnate powers affect other incarnate powers. at least that is my understanding.

Keep talking like that and Toggle Man will show up...

I do not know the numbers. I have used siphon life a lot, across archetypes, mostly Brutes. Paired almost always with Dark or Invul. The feel is real. I enhance this as an attack only. No extra heal. When used as part of your attack chain it provides a noticeable improvement versus everything except massive spike damage. For that you need the "oh crap buttons"Dark Regeneration or Dull Pain or some such, possibly also eating some skittles if the situation persists or also hitting Rune of Protection or some such. But in normal play this power works hard. Especially noticeable at low levels before enhancement sets flush out or all powers are not yet in. A real gem. Hits hard and heals you a nice bit.

you are indeed wrong. not sarcasm. well documented fact.

yep not my thang

I play rarely now (although a few months ago i was grinding for months...time off lol) The best INF generating I had this year was at the end of that hot streak. Another player who is never on anymore happenwed by. I asked them for 2 billion to continue my alt building madness. (They a whale, though not as ginormous as Yomo...) They gave 2 billion to each of the team that asked that night. (all old SG mates) That is how you get things. Be a vampire. Leech baby leech.

As I understand it the "seeded" salvage is a giant stack at that price that will interact normally with bids. You can bid 99 mill on common salvage and pay that, but are guaranteed to buy it NOW at 10,000. You are welcome to spend another couple days and another 150 mil testing this though. I encourage you in your effort!

It is, indeed. the "I forgot my keys" dance. Can't believe you nailed it.

I have done decades of tabletop RP. I could never get it to work in any mmorpg. When I run a toon in any game I mostly try to stay "in voice" of the character. unless helping a newb, and sometimes even then. But that is the extent.

I have done a LOT of ranged Blasters. The revamped AR is good, and if it fits your concept you will be happy. Beam Rifle is so good at ST that I have one set up for Really Hard Way Magisterium attempts. I was in a SG that ran those weekly. This was the ranged assassin I used. It is light on AoE though. Seismic takes some time getting used to. There is a significant delay and a longer recharge. But wow. That thing is fun. If you have an earth magic concept you will be happy. If you have patience. Ice... I have the Ice on Blaster. But due to the DoT and the strangeness of pairings I think you would like this better as an Ice/Cold Corruptor. Cold has some of the best debuffs Corr get and the DoT of the two massive rains with Scourge mechanic is fearsome. I have not run Archery Water or Storm I do have a fully kitted out Elec Blaster for range however. While the damage is not the best, WOW is it survivable. Especially how I built it. Full Ranged defense and two "oh crap" you cannot hurt me powers.

I like this idea. The Devs could describe the parameters. (length of description, requirements A B C) then people could argue, edit, re-edit, and finalize those over a period of time. then the Devs could slap them on. maybe do one power set at a time for focus.
