    It's cool to kick Longbow anywhere. I hate those guys.

    Different characters of mine hate different specific ones.

    Continueing Preparations!

    Reticulating Splines!

    Power Up Go!

  6. I appreciate all that you have done for us ill-advised gamers. Never mind the haters, this is great!

    Lower level foes take a fair bit of damage from a fall. I remember KB'ing Clockwork off of buildings in KR. They definately took damage, but never completely "died" from it. Of course, being the extra-agressive buggers that they are, they came back for me.

    Higher-level foes shouldn't be defeated by the scenery. They should be a tougher fight. I just don't see one of the Joker's goons walking away from falling off of a building. I DO see Juggernaut climbing out of the hole he makes in the pavement and coming back to try again.
  8. Go for it. I've been getting better results with my Elec/Elec Brute than my Crab, but I honestly enjoy both.

    That....doesn't sound right.

    Generally, if the OP (Original Poster) of an idea isn't able or willing to provide a fleshed-out idea, the thread usually doesn't go anywhere.

    If you have more to this Eye Blast, please share. If not, then feel free to post more later.

    Here's what I'd like to see:
    Damage Type(s):
    Secondary Effects:
    9 powers listed.
    What makes it mechanically different from the other sets, yet roughly the same power level?

    I don't really think a lazer eye-based powerset would have the variety a powerset needs to exist.

    Every single power would essentially be a blast from the eyes.
    I could see a laser-themed set. I would go with Energy Damage, with a Fire DoT and/or a -Res to go with the "laser burning a hole through things"

    Tier 1: A quick, low damage single beam.
    Tier 2: A slightly higher damage dual beam.
    Tier 3: A shorter-range higher damage heavy beam.
    A cone.
    A Multi-shot single-target attack. Animation: multiple beams from the eyes, one right after the other, while the character points his fingers like a pair of pretend six-shooters. (Oh yeah, we would have to have fingers instead of mittens first)
    Throw in Aim and you still have only six powers. I don't see much AoE that would make any sense, or a tier 9 to cap it off without being any sillier than what I've already suggested.

    So, like Superspeed, except with even less vertical?

    Edit:
    P.S.
    Optical_Illusion, in your next Respec thread, try not to be as hostile as you've shown yourself to be in previous threads, and we can have a pleasant conversation.
  15. I could see it if you wanted to completely scrap a second build on a character (I did on a L50 Crab) or if you wanted to scrap a character and loot him first.
    If it's vetspecs or freespecs, well, they're free, so why not?
    If I was going to buy a Respecipe? I'd better be yanking out enhancements whose total is significantly more than what that Recipe cost on the Market.
  16. My assumption was: major changes to powersets usually equals a freespec. TWO freespecs per character though?

    There was a poll-type thread earlier where we came to the conclusion that 6% or less of characters used thier second build. Use the search for poster Optical_Illusion and you'll see a respec-oriented thread or two.
  17. I don't have any characters at I-4 style builds, but I only have one character that might have burnt all of his vetspecs. And that's "might have". It was a L50 Crab (obviously not that old of a character) whom I wanted to pull all of the IO's out of his second build and wasn't going to buy respec Recipes, nor had he done the Respec TFs.
  18. I think that's the point. I heard about the Fitness change before I heard about the "two freespecs" thing, so likely many others will be in my boat...except they will stock up on respec recipes. Which I won't.

    Demand goes up....prices go....well, you know.
  19. *sigh*

    *shakes head*

    Respecipes. They iz crazy and so are the people who are overly-desperate for them. I don't get it, but I'll gladly sell any overvalued Respec Recipes that drop for me.

    They're going to replace the game with WoW. All Hero characters will turn into Gnome Fighters and all Villain characters will turn into Troll Shamans.
    *whacks DLancer with a stick*

    You broke the NDA!
    I'm telling!

    I would assume that you would be able to take 4 pools plus your inherent, so.......Yes?

    People who didn't take the Fitness pool before (yes, there were some!) could take 4 non-fitness pools. Those people would get Fitness added onto thier character, while you would get your existing Fitness pool moved over to the Inherent column and have some empty power choices to fill. Wouldn't be fair for you to have three (give or take) powers less than them.
  22. I hope that you get your character back.

    If I were one of the GMs, I'd certainly do it for you.


    But the next time you stopped to talk to a contact, an NPC would walk by and say "Hey, it's <heroname>! Coulda swore he left town!"
    Or "Next time, can I have ur stuf?"

    Weapons usually get 6 slots

    Defenses only get 2 Defense enhancements and a endurance reduction. You can add a 3rd DEF, but your defense will only up 1% or less

    Adding any more than 2 recharge enhancement on a power is a waste unless it is Hasten or another very long timer.

    Stam is two as well as the third is only a tiny improvement.

    Then there are all those singles -- swift/hurdle, combat jumping, acrobatics, health and more.
    I'd four-slot those Defensive toggles.
    I'd two-slot some of those passives.
    Quote:

    And lets not forget the prerequisite powers like boxing, aid other, hover, etc.

    Some players need all those slots because they use sets. But when I looked at that and things like reactive armor cost 30 million each, I forgot about that in a hurry.
    If IOs cost a lot to buy, then they rake in quite a bit to sell them.

    My bane just hit 40 and couldn't train as there was no other place to put the 3 slots he would get. If i can't train, there is no reason to keep playing him.
    There are plenty of spots for the slots.

    I don't have the billions it would cost to get to 50.
    It doesn't cost anything but time to get to L50. The money is THROWN at you by the game, you have to duck in order not to get hit by it. Just kill mobs and toss the drops in the Market.

    They would be quite rare.
    The Hollows were a big draw for them, as lowbies without travel powers would get missions on the far side of the map deep into purple-con territory, and if killed, would have to huff it back from the AP hospital. Between the Hollows revamp (field hospital and a reworking of the mission doors, IIRC), Safeguard Temp Travel Powers and SG Bases finally becoming functional, I think the time where they were needed is mostly passed.
    I'll bet that some are still around as cherished L50's, probably offering Exploration Badge tours every now and then.

    They were good folks, and I appreciate thier service.
