  1. Thanks, all! I'm gonna celebrate by going to get my hair cut.

    Yes, it's true, I lead and extraordinarily exciting life!!
  2. OTOH, LR sees an opportunity to attack Paragon City, and launches an assault on Atlas Park. It's a steamrolling, as even through there are a number of high level heroes there, they are all zombie-like from farming AE missions and don't care to help in the fight "Cuz there ain't enuff lewt to be had!"

    Nicely done! I thought of that Weather Girls tune when you said that ... "It's Raining Art".

    Well... I kind of picked powers that allowed me to ignore them as far as slots went. I ended up picking Combat Jumping, Super Jumping and three from the Medicine pool. I put no slots in them, so I kind of got free slots for other powers, since everything I picked works just fine with no enhancements on them.

    I'd look for powers that while you may not be excited about them, they still provide a minor function you couldn't do before with no slots. Things like Grant Invisibility or the like. I kind of used a couple of them for IO procs or sets (Super Jump is going to get some Zephar, Combat Jumping got a LotG, etc) so that while I do get utility from it, it makes the 'not so exciting powers' a bit more exciting.

    The thing is, I don't want to have to shift into human form in mid combat just to do that stuff, and taking something that's only of limited usefulness to me seems a waste. I primarily roll in Nova and Dwarf form. I don't want to shift to human while in combat just to use Stimulant or Aid Other or whatever.

    I don't think Tough carries over, otherwise I'd get that just for the added resistance, and I already have a stealth unique in sprint, so I'm covered in the personal sneakiness category.

    I haven't tried it, but I imagine that the epic pool taunt/fear/etc only work in human form, as well, so that's of limited usefulness. I believe the leadership powers are the same way, or I'd consider one or two of them.

    If there were a couple more Kheld powers worth taking it wouldn't be an issue, but there are several duplicated powers of lesser effect that I skip.

    Your only chance other than the invasion weekend events they have periodically, is when a team completes the LGTF. After that a random zone will be invaded, and you have a chance to get some stuff then.

    I don't see how any of the builds posted in this thread would work in game.

    You need to put 2 slots in your first 3 powers at level 3 and another 2 slots in your first 4 powers at level 5. You can't wait til you take Nova at 6 to slot these.

    Mids will let you but City of Heroes won't.

    When you respec those powers are there, available to slot.
  7. I have difficulty figuring out what power selections I want in those 40's.

    I dinged 47 on a Warshade yesterday, and spent probably over 10 minutes trying to figure out what I wanted to get, as there was nothing I really cared for. Some human-only usable powers that only duplicate other stuff, no chance for fly in human form, some shields that have limited usefulness to me, and some epic pool powers that only seem usable in human form. I finally settled on the aid other in the Med pool.

    I remember thinking on my PB that I wished I could swap a power selection for more slots, and that held true here again.

    Anyone having similar troubles, or have suggestions for those of us that tri-form and prefer Nova/Dwarf in combat? I don't really want anything that won't carry over to the forms, and I dislike the idea of grabbing a power just to slot an IO set for a bonus.

    P.S. Devs - I'd *love* for our "epic pool" to just be the ability to choose slots instead of powers!
  8. Some Pinnacle-ite selling their account.

    A level 50 Kheld and Widow (who is considered on of the top widows on the server, tweaked with IO sets and HOs), plus several other 50's, and hundreds of millions in inf.

    And a 3-month vet badge! Ooooohhh!!! That's the high part of the sell! Whoever that is needs a good smacking around.

    That can be our new "hip lingo" for an awesome piece - "That's so Shuler!"

    Congrats on the nice piece, and another awesome piece, Doug!

    There is a good villain population on Pinnacle. Some of them even play red-side!

    Best feature added to the game since launch, and MY reasoning is probably not what you think.

    I will finally be able to return to Freedom because there will be PEACE AND QUIET.

    The days of fill requests are now over, thank God.

    You are assuming the people who don't know how to use the search feature will be able to adjust their settings??
  17. I wanna change that annoying red ball aura in the respec missions to clear so I don't have to zoom full in in order to bot be annoyed by it.
  18. I'm liking that pose. Looking forward to it!

    I'd add that there are some mobs out there that can still hit you hard and often even if you have soft-capped defenses, due to high +To Hit and/or +Accuracy (Malta Gunslingers and Rularuu Watchers come to mind) and some non-positional attacks (usually found in psi attacks).

    Plus we have those pesky defense debuff attackers, like some CoT's and the like. So the extra defense isn't a total waste - it's just wasted on some attackers.
