I dont know if that's cheated really. Going for badges was an option one didn't have to do. At most maybe the older villains who had no choice but to play redside due to AT restrictions at the time.

Buuut...I think this is awesome! It means your actionshave a little more effect ont he story, and that is always a good thing!

I know how you feel with the judgement powers, and yeah, sometimes it's suckie to handwave the story away to grab Soul Mastery because you (for example) prefere it's visuals over Dark Mastery's.

Though skipping the pet always seems easy enough, so I don't see the problem there myself. But Soul Storm is animation love

I might be willing to pay for alternate animations, but 800 points, while Im sure I could do it for sets I want them for, seems steep If they were 400 points, Id probably be okay with it.

The problem with that, is they consider alternate animations harder than new sets, so they likely wouldnt go as low as 400 points.

With IOs, JB might think that Blasters are already there!

No way. He'd have all the awesome moves of Dual Pistols without even having to throw in a punch/kick unless he wanted too.

Also Cyclops comes off as a scrapper as well.

I'd say there's a big disparity in survivability (solo wise) when it comes to sets such as ELA, DA, and FA, basically Resist sets. Where an equally build Tanker just has better resists than the Brute.

Still like the idea of raising Tanker's enhanceable damage (so they have to build for it). Lowering Brutes max Resist to 85% also a good idea (and one that shouldnt have been abandoned in GR Beta).

Though having a Tanker able to generate more threat than the Shield Scrapper would be nice too

^This.

And this is where your arguement just fell flat.

No, I still haven't been able to represent the scrappers and stalkers successfully from comics, as many scrapper and stalker types have ranged abilities.

Deadpool is a scrapper who goes around with dual pistols. Gambit is a scrapper who goes around throwing objects. Personally, I'd argue that Jubilee is a scrapper that did the same thing when she could use fireworks.

Tankers are considered devastating melee fighters because their attacks originally had higher damage over the other melee AT, Scrappers.

Knockout Blow was HUGE number, while Scrappers had nothing equivalent. Now with the proliferation, they never did change the sets to represent that for Tankers (increase some of those attacks in sets to do more damage while also having higher RCH and END Cost).

And I think everyone is waiting for you to show how the Tanker isn't more survivable than the other melee ATs.

You keep saying the others are as tough as Tankers, but what it is, is that the other melee ATs WITH IOs, can be made just survivable enough and that's usuablly based on getting enough defense into the build, which a Tanker generally does easier.

Solo wise, for survivability the only thing a Brute has over Scrappers is generally more HP. A few fringe cases of having better elemental resist to a specific element due to the Brutes higher caps.

Some things to do though JB is why not call for some changes? I'm still for Brute's maxing out at 85% Resist, putting Tankers are the top of max resists.

I'm also for Tankers damage cap being raised to 500%. The limiting of 500% to damage ATs is a meh idea I'm for the idea of raising certain ATs enhancable damage!

That requires the writers to be smarter than you, instead of going with the story that basically has Prometheus being smarter and stronger.

You're totally right! For killing off characters so that your character can seem more special, it's amazing your character didn't get the invite instead.

Only seems if your a character of the ex Developer Jack, you get the axe. :/ Jack was obvious, but Sister Psyche they could of left in.

*sigh* When will they learn. For alot of people it isn't that 3D is bad, it's that the 3D movies they're releasing have suckie 3D

to this day, I've only thought 2 movies were worth the 3D. :/

So far from the trailers, I only saw two parts that had me go..."I don't know..."

When the priest rubs his fingers together and says "We'll need a little of this." and Larry's reply was "How many boogers are we talking about."

That seemed less Stooges and more "Let's make them dumber" to me. Im not saying what they did wasn't dumb, but it's a difference imo.

The other is what looks to be a practical joke to the female with the eyepoke from the box, but context could change that one.

400%

So figure 136.1% Damage enhancement with Enhancements boosted +5 and Musculature in use.

160% with double stacked Rage.

10.5% with Assault.

55% if a Shield user with fully saturated AAO.

That's 361.6% Damage enhancement. Not quite at damage cap. But that's 38.4% away from the cap, so not to bad.

2 +4% to Damage set bonuses, 5 +3%, and 5 +2.5% bonuses would put him 35.5% closer to the cap, but I'd be interrested in seeing this build he has hit the damage cap on 24/7.

Mind you, I'm not against raising the damage cap.

Though if that 400% is with 100% damage at base, so only building for 300% more enhancement...then yeah...passed it and keeping at the cap!

But this does have it going back to be a SS thing and less a Tanker issue.
