Force Redux

Hi. Curious if there are any other folks from Phoenix Prime (Justice server) or affiliated sub groups (Phoenix Resurrection, -Corporation-, Eternal Darkness, etc) still on? Aftershock, Captain Omega, Jules Burn, Sketch Riley, Frost Bites, Super Britney, etc.? Started pre-Beta with you guys. I was Night Fist, Chill-Out, Mechanista, Crimson Commando. Love to reconnect. Holler if you are here. I'm on Everlasting these days @Force Redux

I responded to a call for a memorial in Orobouros today for a gentleman named @Lago. I and many others showed up to offer our support, even those who didn't know him personally. One of the many reasons I love this community. Rest well, hero. /e holdtorch

I like it. It speaks to my inner Rob Liefield 😀

Would this be there same -Corporation- VG as I was in with Soviet Statesman, Bloodbath and Beyond, Super Britney, and Frostbites? IIRC we were on Freedom or Virtue? ... Bunch of folks from the old Phoenix Prime SG at launch. I was Mechanista/Crimson Commando. ? 😯🙃

I'm reviewing this for my Shield/MA tanker....😀. Thanks!

Teamed with Bigger last summer, had fun watching your emote!

A thousand thanks and then some, for a wonderful year of both nostalgia and new adventures alike! 🙂🙂🙂

Love her expression, as well as the use of steam to frame the action!

@Zeraphia Ty for posting, this is exactly what I wanted to share but haven't had the time to do this week 🙂🙂

Kinetix works well with beasts. Beast can self pump up defence to soft cap levels. Only primary that can do it. I'll try to post a build later this week.

You had me at Dolphin Lawyers!

To OP, if you prefer something other than /Dark, my next recommendation would be/Time. Has a bit of everything.

It would be better if you could attack them, but they are untouchable and it just slows you down. There are so few reasons to take this power it is not worth the choice of another power in it's place.

Unless you want to Tankermind (which I do not recommend), get rid of fighting pool, take Aid Self and Aid Other (and possibly Field Medic) from the Medicine Pool.

You skipped two vital powers: Deflection Shield Insulation Shield Get rid of Detention Field and Repulsion Bomb. One is useless, the other is not needed with Thugs.

In the sense I was opining, stealth is good for the MM to skip to mission bosses or objectives. It also keeps the whole band of pets (and allies) from being easily spotted, allows for easier positioning and set up, and avoids most "hot" door aggro situations. Definite not useless, but agree with all points above!

Necro/Dark - offers one of the best AoE healing in the game, also offers stealth (invisibility got the MM with stealth IO stacked), plus oodles of debuffs and control with Lich and Grave Knight knockups. Classic, for a reason.

Musculature for more damage. One of the few ways to help help damage 🙂 Always worth it!

Easiest? Robots/FF with Medicine pool for Aid Other. Really good build for learning the AT, and they are all ranged, so park them with a GoTo command and let them do their thing. Bubble and spot healing as needed. Safer, but slower kill speed than demons. Most fun? Demons/Dark. Lots more to do, speedier kill speed, and super effective debuffs, no knockback to fix, smoother ride to 32 than bots, since the pets are less back loaded than Bots, and damage ability is spread out more evenly. Need better situational awareness than FF since your survivability is tied to your debuffs.

I'm probably weird, but I take leadership on every character. Even my stalkers. And especially my support charterers (defenders, controllers, MMs). Always Tactics (I hate debuffs on perception, such as Arachnid), and either Maneuvers or Assault depending on AT/build. Vengeance if I have room. This is coming from someone who never takes Fighting. Even on my Tankers. I'd rather take something that benefits a while group then just myself. I team 98% of the time. YMMV.

I have Helen Carnate on Everlasting. Willing to release it, I know we have a forum goer here with the same name... Need it for a toon?

I've found the best way to promote red side activity is to start something myself. Paper missions, strike forces, whatever. It may take a little longer to gather players, but I've never actually failed to get a team going. Many blue siders will swap over, that are just waiting for someone to start something. 😀 This happens on blue. Fifteen people LFG, but no one starting anything.

Second this. My 50+3 Demons Dark solos S/L farms at +4/x8 well enough, and safely. Just keep an eye out for ambushes. It's a perfect combo for doing all content in the game.

Dat old body hit location system...

Yep, OG dev team was great, even when they had their off days. Particularly BABs and Posi. I miss CuppaJo too. And HC devs...all sorts of props for letting us fly again.
