I'll echo the inherent idea. I always thought that there could be inherent powers, similar to those of archetype, tied instead to Origin. I never worked out what they would be like, but they would offer more variability between builds and certainly more longevity of use than the basic attack we get now.

Dear lord no!

I haven't even read the anything after the OP, but I hope the idea has received the beating it deserves.

I like my 50s just fine for perfectly fun play, and taking them away on reaching the ascenscion point would kill any motivation to level them in the first place.

just ICK.

Heard that several times this weekend from others. Veteran badges too.

Definitely something going on.

I was never worked up over any of it. Frankly, I can't get past "its a game" and none of it matters. none. of. it. not really. There is no justification or point or anything that substantiated any of the noise. But I respected the right of the noise to be made.

But now, sadly, I am firmly right here.

I'm with Brax on this one, at the beginning it was a big issue but now it's gotten to the point of so much complaining that I don't care to hear about it anymore.

I kept it on my Dark/Cold corr, but have found as I increased in level that I use it situationally more and more - stop flyers, pile on to slow movement, muck up larger spawns... At lower levels I used it more - either just 'cause I had it, it was generally more useful, or I hadn't learned when I wanted ot use it.

As I recall, my Ice/Cold corr (who hasn't played much recently) used it a lot. willy nilly even. just for fun.

My Cold/Ele Def has found he doesn't like using it much... the end use bothers me more there, and I don't know why.

Dark/Rad solos pretty well.

My only 50 def is Dark/Rad, and I spent a fair bit solo-ing. The -def in the blasts helps, and Dark's debuff toolset is just as effective solo as it is in teams - no ally buff powers to reduce your options.

My only 50 def is dark/rad. Was a ton of fun to level.
All the cool toys from Dark/ (as you note) and reasonable blasty fun with the /Rad.

Just the other day I was in Outbreak on my latest attempt to try out the PB class and a new player ran up and wanted to know how I had fly.

It turned into a pleasant conversation and touched on a couple aspects of play.

I patted them on the head and sent them on their way with enthusiasm.

Merms!? Nooo

I think the fifth is even better washed down with a little scotch.

Though personally I like to wash down my scotch with a little scotch.

But only if you have scotch handy, just in case.


OP: what did you go with?

Freeze Ray? I agree with the Acc/Hold/Rech advice above. The damage is really pretty neglible compared to your blasts.

Bitter Freeze Ray is where to go with working in damage, that one has some punch.

Ice/Ice/Cold

My first blaster (my first character period) and I've deleted every blaster I've tried to level since, and most of my controllers.

All the mez/damage just spoiled me.

*Spanish gypsy flips the puppy*

*forum post started whining about how the markets are broken, uses the rising price of puppies as evidence*

My Dark/Cold prefers Soul Mastery, to snag [Power Boost], the debuffs really shine with it.... which leaves [Dark Embrace] for resistance rather than defense. At least it picks up Toxic resist that way.

I salute the genius of the OP and hop firmly upon the bandwagon.

Delete all your alts now!!

(The humor from people not catching the humor is more humorous than the initial humor was intended to be.)

So great work on wrecking the entire thing. I doubt I'll bother with it any more, either. I get the feeling it's not worth it, much as the mission creators must have.

Quoted for fail.

Yesterday was the first time I went and ran missions outside of AE since its release.

I have not tried SS (heresy, I know)

But of the tanks I've played my Invul/ has been my favorite.
He is /EM, fwiw.

Aaawwww!
Look at the cute puppyy. He's a good boy! Good boy!

Wait. What? Did you say something

Is your normal routine to fight your way to the bank, or just rush there as quick as possible?

Sometimes they spawn around the northern end of the main island in Grandville. More so if teams are out, but not a lot.

If tedious farming doesn't bother you, I there is a RWZ arc (Guassian's?) that has 3 or so in an early mission even solo. You can run that repeatedly using your O-portal.

Nice to hear from you, Choake.
Your absence was noted, but glad to hear all is well.

Wasn't a nerf at all for regular play (none- power gaming/leveling). As such, I'm still playing new missions, and putting my tickets into the market.

having fun just fine, thanks.

I think a troller would work also.

Depending on set selection you'd get more buff/debuff to boost what looks like nice damage already, and pile on some controller and more damage.

Wait till i16 when we get Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols.

[/ QUOTE ]

you may be partially (if not fully) right since the announcement said "Maelstrom, a pistol-wielding hero gone rogue" but it didnt say dual wield or "pistols" indicating plural. but I suspect that it is talking about dual wield. we may not actually get the new power set in that expansion since they are powers a signature NPC has but its also a strong possibility that they will offer a new arc to complete that unlocks these two long saught after sets since the devs have talked about unlocking new sets in a similar fashion in the past.

[/ QUOTE ]

Posi interview (can't find the link with a fast search) a couple weeks ago strongly hinted at dual pistols and demon summoning for players.

Speaking of new powers, weren't we supposed to get more APPs/PPPs?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure I heard anything about whole new options. We did already get new powers in the current APPs/PPPs, however.
