I leveled a tri-form PB to 50 and enjoyed being a jack-of-all-trades/master-of-none. This was back in I3 or I4. The hardest part for me was tray management until I learned how to make binds.

The next hardest part was quantums and voids. They have been nerfed a bit and we have been buffed a bit (quite a bit if you include IOs), so it isn't as bad as it used to be.

The third problem I had was the long animation to change forms. Many were the time that I died in mid-transformation. At the same time, I loved dive bombing a group as a Nova with my AOEs, switching to dwarf on the way down, and stomping my foot as my stupid heat-seeking missles slowly caught up to me and picked a target. If I got the timing right, it was a thing of beauty and wonder.

The final thing that bothered me (and still does) was the inability to customize forms, even a little bit. I would be so happy if we could have a cape or a sash to place on a form and choose the color or pattern for it.

I had a warshade that my son started and we got to the teens and then I deleted. My PB was already 50 or close to 50 and it did not seem as fun to me. Now that I have more experience under my belt, I should try making a new one.

Heh. I had the same idea. From the low level IO thread:

We are planning to visit San Antonio in summer 2010 and was wondering if anybody could give me advice/tips on what to do, where to stay, etc.

If he's dead, he can't claim the 4 hours I owe him from the Justice Character Auction.

Sorry to hear about that, Leo. And I'm glad that you are OK. If you haven't already, you should report it to law enforcement.

Whenever I'm walking around at night, or feel unsafe, I put my keys in my hand and make the two longest keys stick out between my fingers. I am now a claws scrapper. Villains beware!

I've been thinking about this thread over the course of the week and I've decided that I am going to make a character to sit at 35 permanently (or at least until further notice). This character will run TFs and story arcs for merits and AE for tickets.

I usually hoard stuff, but this character will slot what he can use and sell the rest. If enough of us do this, we can reverse this trend and have a viable 35-40 market.

NOW WHO'S WITH ME?!?!

Meow?

Maklar?

Recharge will have you throwing out lots of attacks and debuffs, but you still need to stay alive and the endurance to keep fighting. AM and some of the recovery uniques and procs should give you enough endurance to last. Most AV killers will want to soft cap ranged defense and some kind of flight (even if it's a puchasable jet pack) to stay out of reach of the AV.

While Defender's radiation infection get's you most of your defense, you'll still want some of your own in case the toggle drops.

Not sure if he would be interested, but Toona has run lots of successful Justice PvP tourneys in the past, as have Smokesignal and Ramses the Dead, but I don't see those two around much anymore.

Ice Knight/DJ Brainfreeze also runs good tourneys but that poor guy is more overbooked than the last flight out of New Orleans before a hurricane.

In 50 rolls at 30-35, I can almost guarantee one or more LoTG +recharge, Numina +reg/+rec, Miracle +recovery, Obliteration quad, and other notable runner ups.

I was actually hoping that one or more would have done the random rolls and that you would have been kind enough to report the results. Ah well, so much for me living vacariously.

In other news, I got to the party late due to X-mas shopping so I didn't get to compete or even earn a door prize.

I thought for once that NOT being Pum's friend would help me. Rats! Foiled again.

From what I did see, it was well attended, attracted some very cool costumes, and was run smoothly. Congratulation to the winners and to Pum, Chloe, and crew.

Another factor to consider in grouping or herding mobs is that sometimes, there just isn't enough room to get all the NPCs following you inside your aoe. They start bouncing around each other and moving left and right trying to get a lick in.

Footstomp almost universally catches all the mobs on the edges, as well as those close in, while the other melee AOEs frequently leave a few untouched. Overtime that adds up to a lot of lost mitigation and damage.

My sonic/rad is one of my favorite characters. It really can do anything, but you may have to make some difficult choices.

It is no doubt one of the best debuffing toons you can make with almost every sonic attack having -res and rad's holy trinity of enervating field, lingering radiation, and radiation infection. You can stun, hold, sleep, and/or knockback should you choose to.

Another benefit of sonic/rad is that all your buffs and debuffs help you solo as well as when teamed. Of all the buff/debuff sets only trick arrow, traps, and dark can make the same claim.

Can a program change it's response to an identical set of inputs? Yes, but only if you program in a random variable. Humans are constantly a random variable, and each one random in their own way. A human responds not just to the inputs, but to how those inputs make them feel, or how they were feeling when they got those inputs. Programs don't have those feelings.

We did an all-Kheldian ITF on Justice several months ago. It was very smooth until Romulus and then we just took turns tanking him in Dwarf, while another dwarf pulled the healing nictus away. I had taken the medicine pool, so I was acting as the defender on the team, casting stimulant and 2 heals where needed.

That same group tried STF, but we broke down against Ghost Widow and the other patrons. If we had all had nukes and shivans, we could have done it. But only a few of us did and then we started losing people.

I don't think I can make it Saturday, so good luck!

Iron Man?

To the person who added "Harrison Bergeron" as a tag:

I tip my hat to you, good sir or madam. You are well informed and "get it."

Sorry to interrupt, carry on.

I didn't realize that Sweden had so many minorities. I expected everyone to be white and blonde.
