Top notch special effects for movie which has a lead actor that I highly doubt people are sure he can carry a film yet. Nothing in the trailer makes me believe he can. I actually looked up the 2001 version because I thought it was deemed a huge flop. It made 362mill worldwide. Oops. Makes me wonder why they waited 10 years to do another one.

Cold, or Dark. /dark would be a good secondary, but you might look at /sonic because it will help smooth out Elec being so AoE based and it will bump up the ST damage.

Not sure the current price tag for GR in it's different forms, but Steam did have it as part of their holiday sale. Not that you want to wait long enough for it to come around again, but I'm sure there will be deals out there for it. A quick look shows Amazon has it for 29.99. You can get a 60 day card combo deal for about $55 so you are getting GR about $10 considering you are getting 3 months of game time along with it.

Croatoa's end xp bonus for arc completions is abnormally large. Granted, one of the arcs includes the infamous "30 Fir Blog" mission. Red Cap bosses hit like a Mac truck so melee types can have issues with them. Still, four contacts in the 25-35 range that offer a nice setting and change of pace from the rest of the game. The stores offer bad exchanges rates so take an extra minute, or so and sell outside of the zone. Why it was done that way and continues to do so is beyond me.

Side note, just by doing any arc you also get merits for it. You can use Oroboros, or the one base item to get old arcs.

Freakshow use to be abnormal in the amount of exp they gave likely due to the fact that they rez, but that was tweaked. I still think they give out rather decent exp though.

Run missions on x8 even if you don't have 8 members. 6 people should be able to handle x8 fairly easy and the exp would be a factor of 1.3+ versus the normal 1.0.

For solo play, any character that can stealth missions can load up on missions that isn't a defeat all and just do the minimum. This will counter the lack of exp for killing everything with getting more mission completion bonuses in a short period of time. There is a day job that let's you get additional exp for every mission completed. Blueside, log out in a police station to earn the day job for it.

It's been ages since I've done this, but I do remember running missions in PvP zones and those gave recent return on them. Granted, I know for at least one zone you fought Arachnos, who aren't the easiest to take down, so I would rank it rather low.

Ice Storm and Blizzard are at blaster levels as well. Even if redraw is rather small, it still kind of bugs me. I would lean towards Ice overall, but that might also be in part because way back in the day when I use to play the Marvel RPG, I had a Darkforce and Ice based character.

Just give it a light blue tint and you'll be fine. While it's early, I think I might like KM on stalkers the most, but scrappers would be like 1B. /sr I think fits the concept best for secondary.

Total level 50s: 5
Total Alpha slots unlocked: 0
Total Incarnate Trials done: 0

I did play my low level Shield/ss tank last night though.

At least added it to my wishlist. I have bigger purchases planned out for the year, so this has to wait. Well, if my job search for a better job works out, then I can add it in.

Thank god we are allowed to play on more than one server.

P.S. Freedom is my main server as well, so don't tell me how you can't play elsewhere, etc...

Do you have to summon the pet to get the level shift?

Also note the def cap for the new trials is 59%. If you have 45% def, you are in for a surprise. A large number of people with a bunch of influ/infamy put into their builds are regularly faceplanting on the new trials. If you are getting your butt handed to you, really don't be surprised. There's a reason you are given rewards even if you fail the trial.

It depends on the Kin, but the one that helps with end drain I'll assume is nice for Kin/elecs. If I could motivate myself enough to dust off my main and do the Incarnate stuff with her that's where I would go there. I'm indifferent to the -dmg one. A Kin can hit the -dmg cap by themselves on a single target so while it will help to hit the cap for an AV, it's just getting there quicker. For a normal mob, that's where the most benefit will come. Anything that can help with not getting mezzed and defense in general is a godsend to any Kin. I'm ignoring the new Incarnate stuff and waiting until enough info comes out before I piece together what I want to do with it.

I already mentioned this on the defender fourm, but there's no way in hell I'm keeping SB on everybody. Let's not forget Kins get ID as well. I'm not coming there to be a pure buff bot.
