I'm bloody passionate about my dislike for it.

I've never especially liked that word.

I tend to agree. 😎

Crimson Hunger Storm Blast / Dark Miasma Corruptor Removed aura to show off the costume details, but the Bats will probably just appear for combat only and the Clouds & Lightning travel aura will constantly swirl at her feet to give that eerie vampire from the mists on a stormy night vibe.

Going to try it with Storm Blast because despite people's complaints about lower DPS compared to other sets, I do love a good storm. And I finally get to use the bats aura...

Strange... over 300 characters, and not a /Dark corruptor among them. I've got: Dark/Storm - 50 Fire/Thermal - 50 Dark/Poison - 50 Storm/Storm - 41 Beam/Traps - 39 Water/Poison - 37 Water/Kinetic - 35 Dual Pistols/Storm - 35 Storm/Pain - 32 Water/Storm - 31 Radiation/Radiation - 27 Seismic/Storm - 22 Water/Cold - 22 Beam/Force Field - 14 Water/Radiation - 12 I don't even have the combo reversed on a defender. So now I need to see what all the Dark Miasma fuss is about.

Just do the missions. Save those rescue people, recover those clicky items, and defeat those bosses. Paragon City is counting on you. (and the Rogue Isles don't care, but that's more your problem for being a villain in the first place.)

Just grab the Chat tab and drag it upward. The split should reappear.

He's got an unlife. Does that count?

I have a Symphony/Savage Dominator faerie. I took savage for its ranged attacks, so when she isn't singing cones of destruction she's sending the birds and the bees at her foes.

I recall one of the devs mentioning multiple auras as a possibility awhile back... which could accomplish this idea. But more than just different fists, it would be nice if we had the ability to mix different aura options... like maybe Electricity -> Eyes and Glow -> Body, or Fire -> Body and Smoke -> Body, and so on. What I'd really like to see is some of the old auras being given the more specific body part options that newer auras have... like I get that if an existing aura doesn't have something already, adding it would be problematic... but if we have Electricity -> Hands, then why can't we split it to left or right hand only like the newer auras offer?

I mean... why even have a mohawk if you aren't going to have it brightly and unnaturally colored?

Are you saying people can't identify as objects?

Hero: "I'll take 300 Envenomed Daggers, 50 Recovery Serum, and 1 Flight without a jerpack." Merchant: "We've had a run on those daggers, but I just restocked. Here's your serum, but don't get it confused with the venom. But I don't know how to sell you flight without a jetpack... I'm not a wizard." Hero: "Keep the jetpack, just sell me the flight that it gives." Merchant: "Sorry, kid. It doesn't work like that." Hero: "Then make it work like that. Get the developers to code it in." Merchant: "So just rewrite the universe to suit you? I'll have to get back to you on that." The sellable temp powers generally have a reason (or at least excuse) for being available. You're buying a thing that provides the power you want. So you've just been asking for what you want all wrong. Hero: "I'd like a magic ring that grants flight. Jetpacks are noisy, ugly, and contribute to pollution junk, so I want nothing to do with them." Merchant: "That makes sense. Sorry, I don't have any in stock right now... but let me see if I can order some for later. Check back after a few patches..." Bystander: "You can't have flight without jetpacks unless it's part of your powers." Hero: "Not with that attitude."

@Snarky inspired me to try this AT & powerset combination with a recent post, so... here is Stone Time Seismic Blast / Temporal Manipulation Blaster

Just goofing around when I found this name was available and decided to go with an anarchist vibe instead of something traditionally political. Anti-Social Justice Assault Rifle / Devices Blaster

I was thinking Mind/Dark Dominator would be pretty standard. You get a self-heal life-draining attack in dark plus powerful mind mojo.

What is the best vampire themed AT & powerset combo? And what are some unusual vampire concept combos?

Exactly this. Thor and all of Norse (and other) mythology is public domain. No comics company can exclusively claim trademark violation unless you copy their specific interpretation.

I just want to address one other thing since I went to bed early and missed a lot of the discussion: Someone described the jetpack flight as buying a jetpack from a vendor and you countered by saying you are buying a power from a vendor. When you take the power of flight from one of the pools, you get to decide if it is an inherent or magical ability or if it's tied to body augmentation by adding wings or if it is technological by adding a jetpack backpack (and/or boot jet) option. There's lots of customization options for the powers you choose as part of your build. The stuff that's extra is not buying a power from a vendor... or rather, it is, but the vendor is selling a power that comes from a specific source. You are buying a jetpack that provides the power of flight. Just like buying Team Teleport option gives you access to an Arachnos or Longbow flier to drop off your whole team at the next mission. Why can't they just sell the team teleport as an actual teleport option without the floating vehicle option for characters that don't want to be affiliated with the main hero or villain organization? Because teleport isn't what's being sold, that's just the effect that's tied to the visual.

I get the idea of a theme and wanting to stay true to it. I've got a number of characters that I consider to be light-based and are stuck using the Blackstaff bonus power from the P2W vendor... Why is there no Lightstaff option that does the same damage but with bright flashy effects? And those animal form travel powers are cool, but why just regular animals and no robot forms for my shapeshifting robot form to transform into? We have Ninja Run and Beast Run and Athletic Run, but why no rollerskate or ice skate options to use in place of Powerslide? Everything at the P2W Vendor is bonus... as in optional. It would be nice if there were more options, but none of it is necessary. Just take the stuff that works for you, play with it, and either don't use the stuff that doesn't fit or figure out a reason why your character would use it anyway.

How about Marvel's Man-Thing? ...with guns?

Likewise, being tech-specific does not preclude one from using magic... as Iron Man demonstrated when he briefly claimed and used the legendary Excalibur when Merlin whisked he and Dr. Doom into the future.

True story: non-tech oriented characters can still use tech. Spider-Man would be a science hero, having gained his powers through a sciencey origin with the radioactive spider bite. This has not, however, stopped him from regularly using mechanical webshooters to supplement his spider-theme, not to mention his spider-tracers... as well as occasionally resorting to other tech gadgets as needed, including a suit of armor, a Tony Stark designed body suit with extra arms and loads of tech stuff, and many more over the years And let's not forget my favorite: a dune buggy!
