  1. At the moment am undecided on my last power pick (am level 47, able to solo Monsters from Monster Island (and parts of lusca but never stuck around long enough to finish)

    I think Energy Blast would help things along (I should probably have it instead of Energy Torrent, but ET is nice when teaming) but I'd also like to take Mutate (for that dreaded teaming again)

    My last soloing was before I put the IOs but I didn't make any big changes there as this is meant to be one of my cheap characters (I need more inf I swear).

    Maybe the increased damage would mean my attention wouldn't wander when soloing so much but at the moment the thing stopping me taking down lusca is anything else that grabs my attention after the 2nd or 3rd tent
  2. The Necro upgrade doesn't root you, the others do. Its always been inconsistant I think. Anyway I've always been able to keep applying upgrades and get the animations on my Necro MM after they had the power, the amount of times I've done it by mistake is probably in the hundreds. My mercs one I'm more careful on cause of the rooting so I dont know if you could apply more than once by mistake

    Utter poppycock! I refute this entirely.

    Sorry to pull you up on this but to refute you have to provide evidence. You can deny it, you can reject it if you like, but your post doesn't refute it. Just a pet hate of mine, carry on

    I'm changing my comment to "a tell is nice" and on the alts I've changed this seems to have worked I get less blinds and more tells now

    See politeness breeds politeness.

    Personally I dont use the looking for any and I am often on "looking for missions" if I get a blind I'll join, look and see what the selected mission is. If I dont want to do it I'll leave without saying a word. That's about extending the same amount of effort. I refuse to let anyone out lazy me!

    By the way, their leader sits around in Atlas Park and does nothing. Not very heroic, is it?

    ....yeah, because, Back Street Brawler, Synapse, Positron, et al are all sooooo busy out there, aren't they.

    And isn't that Statesman himself stood on a boat in IP.......doing nothing??

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You must have rescued States from Tyrant right? The guy's a total n00b, its for the best he sits there and does nothing.
  6. Well I know I'm going to be taking a break from the game some point early this year if they could just arrange for I15 to be there when I come back I'd much apreciate it. I think I just got a buzz when they started moving the powersets around and I'm still waiting for some combinations. I wait on the surprise of new zones or zone revamps but my past experience with the NWN designed modules has put me off the MA already (you spend more time looking for something worthwhile to do than you do actually playing). I know some people are really looking forward to the MA so I don't mind that there's nothing for me in I14. Except if anyone of them were the same people that moaned about the lack of hero content in Issue 7 when the CoV level cap got raised. Those people I begrudge hope and happiness and I can only pray they're disapointed
  7. Its /fire I tell you. I tried loads of blasters and thought they were a stupid AT until my Ice/Fire and now I love blasters, even ones with a lesser secondary (all of them really)
  8. Sorry I dont like how Katana looks so I've taken it on myself to not learn anything about it and thus never be tempted to play the ugly set.

    My invul has HO's in all defensive powers so I can slot offensive ones for my set bonus' instead and save on slots. Without knowing Katana I cant comment on the build and as I have no desire to learn Katana...........

    It's easy to imagine if a bear is a huge scientific experiment, a mutant bear, a magically empowered bear, a bear inexplicably in a suit of power armour or just an angry bear. So why not the same for an alien?

    Oh and grats and stuff
  12. Heh oddly enough MaX told me on MSN that AR was dead, I'd just skipped over the notes for AR as it isn't really my thing but then went back and reread it all. Its a shame to see the final nail hit the AR coffin

    First ever TF I did that I enjoyed was actually the one that introduced me to the GoEH. But that was my second TF in the game, first I did was Positron with some people I didn't know, and it was horrible. I never saw any of them again either and it took me a good 4 months before I did another TF
  18. 320 Hours was my longest. 270 was my first. Fastest was just over 70 hours (BS scrapper soloing radio missions)
  19. As a Dark KB is a pain, means out of toggle, off tar patch etc etc. So I dont tend to use those Dark powers except on AVs now

    Rated:
    1st:War Witch, for being smart, cool, funny, and generally awesome at player meets. (When does Apex get into the act as a trainer?)
    2nd: Coyote from Outbreak - for his IRL backstory
    3rd: Ghost Widow - goth icon in the making.

    Hated:
    1st Equal: Bat-Manticore / Statesman. Sheesh, talk about grumpy.
    2nd: Sister Psyche (cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesecake!)
    3rd: Sefu Tendaji (for being a total weakling as your ally and unleashing ultimate awesome power when you have to face him yourself. Pick a side, dude!)

    And the guy you love to hate:
    1. The one, the only Westin Phipps. A guy who makes even the most evil, slime-dripping scum and villainry think twice about what they're doing - even if only because he's a (beautifully written) double-dealing, truly nasty piece of work.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh yeah War Witch is the best Dev, just the character sits in a zone I wish wasn't there. At least she's in a pocket dimension too
  21. They normally do, if you bought the GvE pack when you had an account you got the free month applied at least
  22. Favourite? Well I like Countess Crey cause her back story is brilliant. I also think The Centre is a great character and I like how Viracious Verandi uses you. Infact I like a lot of the villain contact's she's just the best written IMO. I also like Scirroco, they shouldn't make it so fun to betray someone though.

    Dislike? Well I never got all the like of Phipps, the storylines are great but I dont feel that he's particularly well written.

    Hero side I like Moonfire, at least what I know about her, she's a bit too brief.

    I have a loathing for Positron cause he sends you on a dull TF early on in the game to put you off speaking to his colleagues, shouldn't that make him a villain?
  23. We need a robe with stars on it that's for sure. A trailing sparkly aura from the hands would be good too

    I'd recommend .../WP for the taunt aura

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Heh. Heh.


    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh this will have me chucking a while. Had to include the other chuckle

    How about something like a Fire/Stone tank though. Alright ST and AoE damage. An aura with actual taunt in it (that will hit more cause of storm debuffs) and a little bit of control too?

    Personally I'd go controller though. Something like a Grav/Rad or an Ill/rad. Rad and storm combining would be nice and then either good lockdown from Grav of the Agro control from Ill.

    Grav also has alright ST damage, which will help as Elec has pretty much none and Ill can kick out alright damage too.
