Snarky

there is the new badge for 50 psa. but i cannot find the other pa badges for getting costumes. what are they?

Controversy Due to its suspected origins,[3] the term has been accused of being ageist and racist.[11] Perceptions and discrimination The twink stereotype has been criticized for its homogenous descriptions, usually bringing to mind thin, white, able-bodied, blond-haired young men. As with many terms, modern usage has broadened the term to include more diverse parts of the community.

you dont put peppers, or pepper on pizza? or onions? just bread tomato paste and cheese for you huh?

mids provides a scratchpad that feels very much like a respec in game. it is just flat easy rather than spending how many hours building a spreadsheet environment....

And how do i know what are “ old files”???

Without building a full mids layout for you….you want more accuracy and recharge? Cram on purple sets. Also make sure you have a lotg 7.5% in each defense power. Then, quite a rew ranged sets have +rech as well.

And you believed him? Sounds like he (intentionally or not) had it 4/8

The T2 is better I believe as well. You are going to be right in the thick of it. Dark has the PBAoE nuke and all of your Empathy powers are PBAoE. You stand right on the butts of tanks, brutes, and scrappers. The to hit debuffs in Dark are very important to you. You might consider Dark Mastery and grab the PBAoE Stun Aura. Way more effective than you would think at first glance. I run Ice/Dark/Dark and stay at a respectable 30-70 feet from all fighting if I can. Everything I do is ranged. Sure, people do not benefit as much from my leadership toggles and pbaoe heal. Sucks to be them. Picking up Void Judgement may also help as it reduces enemies attacks as well, those left standing. Your job (based on your powers) is healing and buffing your team. Your attacks should disorient and debuff those around you to help leverage that for as long as possible. Blasters are hit and run. Corruptors, especially one like yours, shine in extended battles. Hasten, to cycle your powers faster, and as many toggles from the leadership pool as you can squeeze on. I do not build squishies for pbaoe. So that part of the equation I am unsure what to do. Other than say make sure you always have the Tank/Brute pinpointed and stay on their good side. That is not a metaphor, keep them between you and the enemy (the bad side). When surrounded drop the nuke. Knockback to knockdown in the cone of course. There are a few interesting procs (not damage) that can go in each of your AoE that give crowd control. Look into that.

No idea but a pug MoM tonight was a horrid slog that we failed (if we had a minute more we would have won). The last boss was at about 25%. We couldnt keep the lady from going straight to the center in the cave room. It was like she was on roller skates. This despite us having enough damage (admittedly barely) to get the requirement for putting down penny with only 4 whatevers killed. It was just a rough run.

you say gold... to us that means praetorian, goldside. not sure if that is what you mean. if you started goldside you are there until level 20.

o right sorry, still in shellshock from a pug keyes i just did. and it was...not good lol.

just watch out when exemplaring. your enhancer valures get squished and you may lose some set bonuses

I would go energy mastery. Until 50. Then yoiu can take Cardiac Alpha, solve all your issues and respec But maybe you want to look at Hyperstrike MO durable builds and play the unstoppable force. In high end content your extra AoE will mean little, you will get a Judgement nuke, and EM is a ST specialist. Lean into that. If you want In tough 50+++ content things are going to go one of two ways. 1) almost always, team and league buffs that take care of your end issues, even if you go musculature alpha instead of cardiac 2) you are out on your own relying on blues and hoping no one has end drain or recovery debuff on you

i've got that one memorized.... now if they changed it, that would piss me off.

your best way to learn things is to play. period. at 50 everything helps with incarnate, some a lot more than others. read Oklahoman's guide. Doug covered everything else pretty well. Badges are tough. 25% fall in your lap. Sort of. You can bop through every zone in the game and get location badges and history plaques for about 530? badges. and merits. Takes 4? hours non stop if you know it. 10+ if not. Some of the maps and badges are really....interesting. For badges the most important ones are badges that give accolade powers. Check homecoming wiki, then laser focus on getting those. The rest...happen. The more you play one toon the more you collect.

I have been involved in too many Tank discussions about “ what is toughest tank” and in the end the OP picks SR, Regen, or Fire. It is maddening. Look, how well a Tank performs against different enemies at 54x8 and tougher is largely based on the interaction with Tanks various armors. A set like Invul that covers the classic Def/Res/Heal and can be built up is great. I have a Dark that does well, but i built the crap out of it and understand it does not operate at all like normal armors. I play it smart and it does well, for me. I have heard at least one person say it dies for them in regular content. Even with the toughest Tank built near perfect once the enemies are dialed up you have to be proactive. So, once you listen to all the advice and pick a Fire armor I wish you great luck. Just play actively and play to win.

I said first thing respec. My ice/dark/dark corr had soul drain pbaoe changes to spirit drain ranged aoe. Plus, after a recent incarnate trial i wanted to move heavily into leadership toggles. I barely log in and there is a pug looking to try for the new LGTF badges. I join! I hit my base while leader recruits. I grab a mad handful of overwhelming force enhancers. Then log back to rwz2 and use enhancement unslotters to pull out the 5 pbaoe and slam in OF. The new LGTF setting is mad hard. And confusing. There were waves of team deaths. These were good players. We kept together and made the most of each sacrifice. Every mission is radically changed. New enemies new mechanics. Some of these folks, the leader especially, must have been running this on beta. The last fight was confusing, epic, grand. I was so lost if not incan’d to the right spot. We won, two badges. What a way to start! Then I did a major respec lol.

Well, they did warn you. But your recharge was so nerfed the message just reached you.

Mids used to allow two very good posts to the boards where you could eyeball sets. Then they decided not to support that any longer. Somehow, with a twenty year old game that has added a few sets and one AT, these folks have managed to slow Mids performance to a crawl and lose all export capacity. It is an epic fail.

Gravity is what is keeping you down man!

Just in time for a scheduled task about the crypt. 😆

in all serious i have a number of Blasters who never get CCd. never. But i have a very different play style and build approach. If you want a fire/fire/fire blaster more power to you. carry break frees and run leadership tactics. maybe rune of prot if you can fit it. I doubt you run the sets i run that are the most safe. Beam Rifle and Elec, both with Temp second and built for range. pure range. lot of range. i can post those builds, but the concept is... most enemies just mez those around them. or really even attack those around them. damn lazy.

here is a very old SS brute i still have set up it is so good Snarky - Brute (Super Strength).mxd
