Being in IT here, we patch on Tuesday because Monday's suck. Never patch on Friday unless you are volunteering to work all weekend and field all calls. If you patch on Tuesday you have Wed-Friday to fix things if something breaks. MMO's are prime time on the weekend so I would assume some sort of similar logic. Reduce impact of an issue on prime time, reduce support cost of weekend labor.

Maybe I didn't search hard enough. Apologies if I missed it. Lift is a knock up and the mob takes falling damage correct? Is having knock up going to increase damage via that falling damage or no?

Thank you for the comments. I actually love looking at your builds Darkir. Great feedback. This is indeed a partner farmer, not much solo farming, as I have quite a few brutes of various flavors to do that with. Thank you for providing an updated build, I will most likely adjust and aim at that.

This is my target build for my water-kin corrupter. Loosely borrowed slotting from the fire/cold farm builds. I really like kinetics and wanted something that wasn't a fire/kin (already have one). Incarnates required to get the fire defense to 45. Fire resist was tougher but got it to 75%. http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1580&c=710&a=1420&f=HEX&dc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

The questions are worded pretty subjectively. I voted 1. however defenses are fine, if you properly slot your character and care about defenses. You have to pay attention and care about it. As most of the players are veterans who played before, they care, and slot their characters to have defenses. There is content that I can roll, there is content that I get destroyed on. It varies greatly. All of my characters have a weakness like any good super hero/villian.

Going for a dark archer martial arts that has some dark magic skills here. Mostly want a fun somewhat survivable toon that can AOE from range and get in close once in awhile to mix it up. Here is the somewhat low budget build I came up with. Any suggestions or feedback? Trying to keep it mostly free of the 25 mil per IO's.

I loaded this into Mid's and I'm wondering if something is corrupt. It shows over 100% in all the defenses and capped resists in everything. If that is correct, I'd say you have a pretty tough blaster there. You can probably put a set in Tactics or drop the slots down to 2 or 3 or very minimal impact to your to hit bonus. I prefer Hover with 3 slotted Blessing of the Zephyr as it makes hover basically super fast and anti knockback. I then ditch fly. Maneuvers I'd go with one slot of Kismet for accuracy and three slot Luck of the Gamblers. Temporal Healing, might be better with a healing IO set. Those are my general observations. I'd be curious how this plays. I'm working on a much cheaper dual pistol Time and was looking at references for ideas. Thanks for posting!
