Heraclea Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 My impression is that there is a lot more variety among my blasters within the AT than there is within any other AT. I have several level 50 blasters: electric/electric, archery/devices, and ice/plants. The double electric is basically built as a sapper, and is probably one reason why I haven't been all that interested in playing defenders. The arch/dev probably comes closest to being a traditional pure DPS blaster. Ice/plants has more hard control than my controller (ill/rad) and for that reason is a reliable earner, and my first choice to bring to Hamidon raids. 1 QVÆ TAM FERA IMMANISQVE NATVRA TB ~ Amazon Army: AMAZON-963 | TB ~ Crowned Heads: CH-10012 | EX ~ The Holy Office: HOLY-1610 | EV ~ Firemullet Groupies: FM-5401 | IN ~ Sparta: SPARTA-3759 | RE ~ S.P.Q.R. - SPQR-5010 Spread My Legions - #207 | Lawyers of Ghastly Horror - #581 | Jerk Hackers! - #16299 | Ecloga Prima - #25362 | Deth Kick Champions! - #25818 | Heaven and Hell - #26231 | The Legion of Super Skulls - #27660 | Cathedral of Mild Discomfort - #38872 | The Birch Conspiracy! - #39291 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerWilco Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It would be cool if the active accounts/CCU/hours played numbers could get an update every now and then. I only started playing in May 2020, and now have 5 friends who joined as well. Only just reached level 20. It would be interesting to see how things develop month-by-month. Still think these are impressive numbers. 1 The adventurous Space Janitor reporting for duty. Cleaning the universe since 1992 and Paragon City, the Rogue Isles and Praetoria since 2011.

Coyotedancer Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) So... Just for fun, I went through and made a list of all of my current level-50's (That's all but three of my entire list of "active" characters at this point-) and where they are in the "How Common IS This Combination, Anyway?" ranks. I was a little surprised at how few there were of some and how many there were of others... Only 13 Broadsword/Bio Brutes? Huh. 267 other nutty people went for PsiMelee and Energy on their Stalkers? Unexpected. But cool. As-of the March data, Ferrian the Claws/Fire Stalker was a Unicorn, with no 50's of the type, but I know a few other people have leveled those since then, so no clue how much company he has out there now. It'll be fun to see how much all of the numbers have changed by the time the next set of data comes out. As for me? The obvious WP/Bio/Dark/Time/Stalker/Sent/Defender fan-girl... I need to branch out more. I think I'm going to go look at the lists and build another less-than-10 combination of an AT I don't have yet. Maybe I need to look at Doms.

ImpousVileTerror Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm pretty sure the Psionic Melee / Energy Aura Stalkers are popular since it's a fairly solid PvP Build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killigraphy Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Truly the best thing about playing an MM - AH prices are cheap, you can second as a healer/(de)buffer, and you do more dmg than scrappers....just a great time to be alive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpousVileTerror Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 While it's true that they don't -need- to be limited, there does seem to be a statical bias toward backstories on the roleplay Shard, Everlasting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most interesting one is how many Masterminds don't go all the way to 50. Maybe once you get all the pets and upgrades it lacks stuff to aim towards. Maybe if their APPs were more personalised it would be better? I think it's frustration with Pet AI & frequent resummons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImpousVileTerror Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The delay on switching to Defensive and then having the Henchpets retaliate was an intentional addition to prevent Masterminds from "cheesing" the Bodyguard Damage Share mechanic. But frankly? I think it's time we allow Masterminds to cheese it as an improvement to Quality of Life! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
