Specified Brute (Energy Melee - Super Reflexes).mbdCorruptor (Energy Blast - Nature Affinity).mbd Nature is one those odd duck powers, when it comes to recipe stuff. While power set itself is nice. Trying soft cap your S/L/E. With Black Scorpion Shield is one more annoying things about that set 😛 I suggest getting Barrier for one your Incarnate powers to help there. Also I do not know if your running point or backup. If your backup and others are taking initial aggro. You'll be fine, till you get Barrier.

Rules of 1, 3, & 5. Ever since ED & Invention Recipes. Rule of 1: Unique recipe pieces. This mostly covers most Global stuff and Purples, AT Recipes, & Winter Recipes. Rule of 3: 3 is your limit for enhancement baseline. Past that is it a utter waste of a slot for specific. Like slotting recharge with 6 recharge reduction. Rule of 5: This pertains to recipe bonuses. Say you got 4 of same recipe sets and 2 of another. All 6 grants say a 2.5% resist bonus to Smash/Lethal. You'll only get bonuses of 5 of those 6 bonuses listed. Rule of 3 is from E.D. Which "Hot Take" I was all for and am glad they did it. It at the time extended the longevity of the game. When they introduced invention IO's & Recipes it even further gave the game a longer shelf life.

1. First off, on H.C. folks seem to hoard them like end of world is coming, lol. Seems no one wants to use em(Least of late). 2. Also I've come across a lot folks who don't even know you can combine 3 of a kind. Y'all need stop hoarding that information, lol. I know we've gotten a lot influx of late of new faces and returning who may of left before combine 3 of a kind or just don't remember. 3. Back on live on Virtue. The fairly active and group I ran with and many others I've come across on there, had slang for em. We called em Our Candies. lol. 1. Red = Cherry Rush 2. Purple = Grape Drank 3. Blue = Blueberry Bombs 4. Orange = Orange Crush 5. Yellow = Banana Blitz 6. Green = Sour Apple Suckers 7. Break frees = Mint Drops 8. Wakies = Liquorice(Black). Cuz that shit will wake anyone up, lol 🙂 Did ya'll have any slang for stuff like that with folks you knew back then.

You are GOING NEED Cardiac Alpha: Right side tree. Dark Armor already endo pig. You wanna go more DPS-ish, thus no body options for Recovery. You'll want your Blueberry Candy always on hand. (Stamina Insperations) This also very AOE Heavy. You have 2(3 if you count 1 slotted char or 4 if you want use 1 slotted kick). Single target attacks. Rest are all AoE. So good for farm hitting or massive pulls. Specified Tanker (Dark Armor - Dark Melee).mbd

Look I get it Arcane, you got a rager for me. Your on a thumbs down party over there. Keep it up, I still get points for it 😛

We turn them into regular Merits, lol. Point is, all that stuff has uses, while Incarnate Threads it there do nothing after a point.

With Empyrean Merits, Regular Merits, Vanguard Merits. We can package them up and send them to other characters we have. Incarnate Threads, not so much. I got several characters with over 1k in Threads just sitting there doing nadda. Would be nice if we could package them up in say stacks of 50 or 100 and move them just like the Empyrean Merits or allow us to mail ourselves Incarnate Salvage we get to ourselves. So we can use threads to at least buy that stuff and mail it to ourselves. Perhaps let the new costume machine let us convert the threads for Aethers even. Just frustrating seeing that sitting there and not able to do anything with it anymore.

Go for classic Fire/Kin Controllers. The first farming toons.

Super Reflexes has not changed since live for Melees. Radiation Armor only change is Toggle can not take Accurate To-Hit Debuff Recipes anymore. Rad Melee/Street Justice same route. If there is ONE of those you really want to play. I'll build a current thing, but honestly it will probably be same as original or maybe some slight changes. Honestly Melee Arsenal is two attacks...3 if you count the 3 billion years later Trip Mine setting it down...only to realize the team is 3 mobs ahead of you. As you spent all that time setting down that frigging mine....the ONE TIME you get it to work...it only hits like 1 guy.... 😛 Ranged Dominator (Arsenal Control - Arsenal Assault).mbd

It's kinda vague there. Also, grouping is fairly easy thing to do 🙂 First off do you have Mid's Reborn? If not you'll need it for builds: https://midsreborn.com/ Then after that. If you look up above at the Fire Armor/Titan Weapon Tanker. That can be Paladin/Holy Light person. Color flames into a more Righteous Fire and you can select weapons that fit your look. Honestly anything can fit your concept. You just have to spend time in Costume Creator editing powers, your looks, weapons, etc..

Without knowing what their actual role is going be. I'll have to presume they are backup for a team, seeing how they are Empathy. Backup Defender (Empathy - Radiation Blast).mbd

I don't like analyzing other folks builds. We all build to our own knowledge and tastes. Unless the actual creator of themselves ask me, even then it's people with different ways of thinking. If you've been using it for sometime, then it must be working for you and no real need to fret over it.

I get it. It's the "cool" thing to come at me. Cuz of my build post, I get it. But I gave the guy a something that was not to complicated, simple to use and not busy. What he asked for. He doesn't "NEED" the stealth. It's a want. He doesn't need a lot of what you saying that build should have. The recipes are there to help with defense with the resist. That -Def is handy for someone soloing or helping a team. Over all, it was something for them to try out or not. But again, I get it. Everyone gotta try take shots at me 🙂 Feel free to respond. I won't though. Be well.

Do you just farm these guys to 50 and toss em aside? You really should play your 50s..... Here, something I just tossed together and some other things. I think you need to relax there for a bit.

Specified Controller (Gravity Control - Kinetics).mbd Went with Mystic Flight, so that gives you another Teleport option while still flying. You also got your Teleports. If you don't want Mystic Flight, just replace it with Hover.
