I'm going to say...Yes, it will be a good solo build.
There is a mix of good single target damage for tough bosses or EBs (sonic blasts, smite, Midnight grasp). There is some decent AoE damage in Howl, Death Shroud, Shadow Maul and Soul Drain/Dark Consumption (depends on slotting).
You get a couple nice utility powers to help in tough situations; Touch of Fear, Screech, Siren's Song and Dark Pit. You even get a end management tool in Dark Consumption. And let's not forget Soul Drain, more damage pls!
Yep, I'm confident that this would be a good solo character. -
Time Crawl with Slow Set IOs, the one for S/L Def. Can't remember the name.
Temporal Selection...not sure yet. -
There are some issues I'm noting. For example, Temporal Juncture taking KB Sets and not slow sets. I haven't gotten into the nitty gritty numbers at all, and that was just an error I noted while perusing.

Quote:No, I did not suggest that either. I feel like a broken record. The past 3-4 weeks has brought multiple occurences of extended and/or unexpected downtime. It's not about today only (IMO).So a game should always be available and never have any downtime for fixes and upgrades?
Again, it's not about 'deserves' either but about providing good customer service.
I don't quite understand why people are arguing with PS providing some sort of bone for all the extraneous downtime? I'm not talking $ either. -

Quote:When I did I say all of those were not worth using?So, your status toggle, your damage aura, your attacks, and RAGE are not work using on an SS/elec brute? Only energize, power sink, and foot stomp is worth using? I'd really love to see an attack chain consisting of footstomp-footstomp-footstomp, but its just not possible.
Quote:Same goes for the ice/cold. Sleet and Heat loss don't really deal very much damage. They are very nice at debuffing, i'll give you that, but without a means to do damage (with ice storm, your single target attacks, etc) your not going to go very far.
Quote:We get it, you don't like exemplaring, but saying the only 'viable' powers are those post 26 is just asinine.
Quote:There isn't enough level 50 content in this game that it is ALL you've been playing for the last 2 years, especially with the weekly strike targets listing a lower then 50 TF more often then it lists a level 50 TF. If you unlocked your alpha slot within the last year, chances are you've played non 50 content.
Quote:Are you seriously going to argue that the core powers I listed in the two examples you provided are not worth using? Rage? Lightning Reflexes? The damage aura? The makings of an attack chain?
It's amazing how aggressive people get when you dislike a certain aspect of this game. It's really weird. -
Quote:If you pay a monthly subscription, then it 'happened' to you. We pay for access to the servers, if those servers are not available, then you cannot play.Why compensate someone for something that didn't happen to them?
You seem to be missing the point. Hiding behind a EULA, in this instance, is legal but it's not good customer service. Of course, this is my opinion. You might very well disagree. -
Quote:Saying "Look, the EULA says we can shut down the servers whenever we want." Is a poor business practice.It's not poor business practice, it's standard business practice. And not having a EULA is just plain stupid business practice.
No one is suggesting they should not have a EULA. Just don't use it has a way to not provide better than average customer service.
It's not just today mind you. Each week for the past 3-4 (IIRC) has brought with it extended and/or unexpected downtime.
Everyone gets compensated. Offer an additional double experience weekend. -
A man walks into a bar, the man behind him ducks.

Quote:I'm merely trying to point out that good customer service from companies comes when they don't HAVE to provide any compensation but CHOOSE to repay customers for the excessive interrupts in service.Hey, I didn't say that they should, just that they can. If they were to do that, I would imagine that they'd be out of business, you're right. However, a few hours is not comparable to a whole month, especially when they've been up at peak hours more often than not.
Again, I'm not advocating monetary compensation. Something like an extra day or two of double experience would be sufficient in my eyes. -
Quote:This issue is your inability to read words.No no no, you're bringing a different argument around here. I simply replied to a statement that said "the majority of powers worth using are after 25."
'Worth using.' That is subjective. What you find 'worth using' and what someone else does might not be one in the same.
You also ignore that those which hate exemping (like me), mostly dislike it because those characters have been tooled to be most effective in the area of the game we prefer. In my case, post-50 content.
Figures you would run away. -

Quote:Irrelevant. What's important is that I've been playing with Footstomp, Energize, Powersink and Powersurge for 2+ years. Exemping down is a pain in the *** now. You are also assuming I took the majority of those powers in order.Then let's play with your examples. That SS/ELA brute relies on at least Rage, KO Blow, Haymaker, Charged Armor, Lightning Field, Conductive Field, and Lightning Reflexes. That's a majority of the powers mentioned so far.
You are far more assumptions going for your 'argument' than I do. Hmm.
Quote:Ice/Cold Corruptor: I'll bet he makes heavy use of Ice Blast, Frost Breath, Aim, Freeze Ray, Ice Storm, Bitter Ice Blast, Infrigerdate, Snow Storm, and Arctic Fog. Again, I've listed a majority of the powers mentioned so far.
You are also trying to place personal opinion over others. These powers pale in comparison to the effectiveness of Sleet and Heat Loss.
Certainly. Let me know when you start. -
Quote:Most of those complaining are looking for good customer service. Hiding behind a EULA is a poor business practice in this case.^This. And doesn't the EULA basically state that you won't get any money back for necessary maintenance? They're physically moving the servers today. That takes time, and obviously something unexpected happened in that process. You are entitled to nothing.
Don't get it twisted. I don't think any compensation outside of an extra day or two double exp is necessary (due to ALL the extra downtime, not just today). I find the request for any $ or PPs to be a poor idea. -
Quote:Let's see what you responded to...Incorrect. I'm pointing out obvious flaws in the logic used to justify his opinion.
Again, please don't twist my words. I'm not belittling anyone for the opinion. I'm pointing out terribly flawed logic and incorrect statements.
Quote:Exemping down to level 20 is outright boring. I rather level a man build 1-50 then put up with exemping down to 20.
Majority of powers worth using are beyond level 25 for clarification sake.
They then say the majority of powers worth using are beyond level 25. You seem to pick 3 powersets that prove your point and somehow invalidate his.
I can do that too...
SS/ELa Brute: No Footstomp, No Energize, No Powersink and No Powersurge. That woudl SUCK for someone use to playing that character at 50.
Ice/Cold Corr: No Blizzard, No Sleet, no Heatloss and no Benumb.
That's just two examples. Remember, this does not include the loss of set bonuses or APP Powers.

Quote:Someone states a dislike about exemping and you are here trying to prove their dislike wrong.Oh sure, because Fire Blasters only use their snipe and Inferno.
Or did you mean the tanks that only take a self revival and godmode power?
Or the brutes/scrappers only survive based off of the last three powers of their secondary?
Do you even realize what you're saying?
Do you realize what you are saying?
Level 20 (25) is beyond lame when you've been playing the character at 50 for years. Especially when you've been actively engaged in post-50 content for the past year+.
Your opinion is not greater than anyone elses. So stop trying to belittle those that find the exemping stupid. -
600 points? Sheesh.
Almost an insult to customers to even think we'd be stupid enough to spend 600 points on such a stupid item. RAWR. -
Most recent patch removes additional XP from self-rezzing foes. FYI.
