    When I picture the beast jump as it should be in my mind, I see it as more of a pounce, with the rear legs stretched out backwards, and the arms/front legs stretched out forward, almost in a diving tackle motion.

    This. Jumping while using beatrun looks a little ridiculous, the run itself looks good, but the jump isn't very beastly at all. Personally, I got lucky enough to win one of these codes from Massively. If I hadn't, I would have bought it anyway, but I would have ended up disappointed that I'd spent $10 on it.

    If it lapsed for over 24 hours, then I believe you won't get the bonus.

  5. Other than the Efficieny Expert, there are no badges that you can get at level 1 or along the way, that you can't get at 50, though there are some that you can't get depending on your chosen alignment (Primal v Praetorian).

    However, there are several badges, such as the anniversary badges, that you cannot get if you missed the window of opportunity. That doesn't seem to be what you're asking though, so I won't waste space listing them all specifically.

    Well, I'm glad that I got that one on the first shot, then!

  8. Without going into all the different IO Sets you could go with, here's a quick and easy substitution for fitness. Pretty much just added the fighting pool, which bumps up your def and resist a decent bit. Had to bump your physical perfection up to lvl 49 for enhancement purposes.

    I agree with that....I don't think it's cool to drop someone just because someone you know shows up. When I'm forming, I ask the friends I see on first, and if they show up after the spots are too full, well that's just too bad.

    Because they are already almost capped, it makes me want to keep getting new ones on all 3, but I can't see myself adding another one to the list any time soon, especially with all the regular work that I still need to do on some other toons. lol
    I can definitely see that....if I had multiple toons with so many badges, it would be a shame to let them fall by the wayside.

    The way I see it, once Praetoria is upgraded to have zones that reach lvl 50, and they get Oro added, most if not all of the Prae badges will end up available to anyone. I know this might take a while, but it will probably happen in less time than it would take for me to get one of my lowbie Praetorians all of the badges that are available to him.

    And this may not have been officially announced, but I can't really see this not happening eventually.

  13. I'm with most others in here. If I ever over-invite (think I may have done that a couple of times), I very nicely tell them that it filled. What I always do is go off of tells....if someone says in the global that they're interested, I send them a tell, asking for them to send me one when they're ready for invite. That way, I go off of however many are currently on the team, then scan my chat log for the yellow writing, counting anyone that hasn't yet joined. And the click>global name or click>server name comes in very handy.
  14. I'm a one-toon badger myself, but that also has a lot to do with the limited amount of time that I have to play in the first place. I just barely have enough time to run the WST on 3 or 4 characters, as well as work on the WST complete badges on my badger. It'll probably take me months.

    You forgot about the Praetorian badger.

    monitor I have off old desktop is an HP vs15. what percent of my graphic card's capabilities could this display?
    I got a very similar if not the same exact graphics card mid last year, and have been running it on my old Acer 21" LCD (I think...). It works fine, but I'd really like to upgrade myself.

  17. Email them to yourself, so that you can grab a couple out of the market and put them in at lower prices.

    I thought the devs had changed that....I guess I was wrong. That's lame.

    I just haven't gotten around to it yet, I'll make a point of that.

    Oppressive Gloom + Cloak of Fear is rather redundant. The two don't stack so really don't need both. Consider dropping one and perhaps replace it with Hasten or possibly Energy Torrent.
    Noted. I decided to go with Soul Transfer again, use it for the set bonus and as an "oops" power. Hasten would have required I drop one of my pools, and I think that with Spines/ I have enough attacks.

    Quote:
    Unless you're planning to Hover during most fights, I think your KB protection is a tad low. -8 KB will cover the majority of scenarios, but you'll still get KBd occasionally. -12 KB would be ideal on a final build, IMHO. You can rely on Hover + -8 KB, but if that's your intent you should beef up the the flight speed on hover. (I do this on two of my Dark Armor scrappers, including my main).
    I checked a long time ago on my /regen scrapper, and thought that Integration had given him 7 points of kb, and he NEVER get's kd'd. Rechecked, and it turns out it gives him 10 pts, so I'm def adding in another kb prot IO.
  21. Alright, here's what I think I might stick with. I decided to try a build without Soul Transfer, since I'm building this guy to not die, and I'm focusing more on s/l with e/ne more of an afterthought. And I'll be running Cardiac to hopefully counteract any endurance issues.

    See the ED link for calculating manually if you do reach ED diminishing returns. Alternatively, the latest version of Mids' shows correct values and allows you to select different Alpha enhancements.
    OK, cool. Thanks!

    Perma Hasten

    Does anyone know how I can figure out how much the 15% from Spiritual that doesn't ignore ED would give to hasten, if I have it 1-slotted with rech? I got a build together with 125 rech, so that plus hasten's 70, plus the 42.4 from the 1 IO, plus the 30% non-effected by ED from Spiritual, gives me 267.4%, so that puts me at 7.6% away from perma hasten, depending on how much that last 15% gives me.

    Your Dark Regeneration slotting is of concern. You didn't slot for any accuracy. Dark Regeneration must pass a to hit check on a target in order to grant you a heal. You want the most accuracy, recharge, and endurance reduction you can get out of the power. Healing is secondary concern. Personally, I prefer to slot DR with 3 Theft of the Essence (acc/end/rchg, acc/end/hea, 20%+end), Touch of the Nictus (Acc/end/rch) and round out the last two slots with Heal/End/rech from any heal set.

    Additionally, Ripper is an important part of your ST attack chain. It is also a cone and adds nice AoE damage when in the center of a large spawn. Worth slotting for full damage, IMHO. I'd say lose the slots in Brawl and invest them in Ripper.

    Otherwise, the build looks fairly solid to me.
    Duly noted....when I get home later, I'll look into that on Mids, and I'll start posting with the data chunk.

    Thanks all for the advice you've given, this toon looks like it will be pretty powerful.
