I can name a Dual Pistols / Dark Corruptor. The Shadow.

Yeah. I'm so used to playing Electric Armor Brutes for years now. Knives of Artemis, Malta, Rikti, and Carnies are all jokes.

Lately, I've been playing my Dual Pistols / Dark Miasma Corruptor, my first Corruptor, who dinged level 41 last night and was sent on a mission by Black Scorpion to beat up Malta. I was going through it thinking, "Silly Malta, tee hee." Then I noticed my endurance disappearing. Dang Sappers.

I farm Borea missions in the Rikti War Zone at +1x8 for purples on my Super Strength / Electric Armor Brute. The Brute kills Rikti dead. I thought about doing +0x8, but since my SS / Elec Brute has a Tier 4 Spiritual Alpha, blue con Rikti just feels like cheating.

Edit: What the heck? Apparently you can't capitalize p.m. or Et or Pt anymore... Grr.

I helped a friend last night with the final mission of Mender Ramiel's mission arc. During the cut scene, I had a close look at Emperor Marcus Cole... and... well, is it just me, or does he have a strikingly uncanny resemblance to Charlie Sheen?

Emperor Marcus Cole... WINNING!

Would an Electric / ? Tanker be any good for team based Arena PvP? If so, any suggestions for secondary?

I ran an experiment on Friday night. I lead an impromptu Rikti mothership raid on Champion... on a Brute. We had four full teams, and not one bubbler - no one with Force Field nor Sonic Resonance. I employed the strategy that I normally use when we have at least two bubblers in a raid.

It was a complete success.

Why? Because the vast majority on the raid were Incarnates, and those with Barrier and Clarion kept them up throughout the raid.

Now that it is confirmed that bubblers are pretty much useless even on Rikti mothership raids, I'm just going to move that character over to my "graveyard" server where I put all of my retired characters, and make a new Celestial Lord. :\

Afaik, Sonic Resonance's graphics have been considered "fixed" since Issue 10, nearly four years ago.

Lady Grey Task Force Tuesday tonight. Assuming there's a Rikti War Zone 2, that's where we'll meet up so as to not interfere with the Incarnate trials. Gather up in the Vanguard base at 9:30 P.M. ET / 6:30 P.M. PT.

Honestly, it's pretty clear that Going Rogue failed. The meager bump in subscriber numbers that the game experienced when Going Rogue went live is gone, and now the game has even fewer subscriptions than the period before Going Rogue. Too little, too late I suppose.

Though it does explain why they're charging $8 for emotes, and the game servers have become increasingly laggy over the past couple of years...

Dooooooom!

The thing is, the main reason I rolled a Force Field Defender was for the mez protection. Before Issue 20, a bubbler offered +defense, and mez protection. A Cold Dom offered +defense, and debuffs. Before Issue 20, most teams would pick a Cold Dom over a bubbler. Now with Issue 20, there's even less reason to pick or play a bubbler compared to a cold dom, who can now offer +defense, debuffs, and mez protection. I just don't see the point to bubblers any more. It makes me sad that I pretty much wasted all that time on him. I soloed him from level 1 to 32 back in Issue 16, before the changes to Vigilance. Got a lot of badges on him. Now there's no point in playing him. Meh.
