  1. I personally enjoy my DM/DA Brute, because even though he's difficult to play he's lots of fun. 2 heals (one a PBAoE), 1 PBAoE end booster (slot heavily for recharge, you're gonna need it as often as possible, and also the animation/sound is just cool), and a PBAoE enemy-based damage/tohit buff.

    Don't buy into the hype about the mez toggles interfering with Fury; I haven't tried running both because I don't have both yet (and I'm on the fence about OG anyway - see below), but there's no noticeable difference with Oppressive Gloom alone. Which isn't to say it doesn't have its own issues -- wandering enemies is a little annoying and occasionally causes problems for Soul Drain, Dark Regen and Dark Consumption, and the Razzle Dazzle Immob proc doesn't seem to help much (although it's tough to tell when it procs since it has no visual effect). And to echo what Aett said, the mez toggles probably would suit a Tanker better.

    Now, I hope to do this raid within the next few weekends, between the hours of 5 and 10 PM EDT.
    If this implicitly means "Saturday night" then I definitely can't do this as I work every Saturday night. If it's any other night, I'm interested and available conditionally based on my schedule.

    If you don't have some sort of temp flying power by the time you're fighting the Eye of the Leviathan, you're doing something wrong.
  4. Hilarity Ensues may be the best power name I have ever heard.

    What? No. Screw the "may be" part. Best freakin' power name ever.

    Positron! Get over it and make this a reality!*

    Always made me wish they'd just make his face targetable. But I guess that would give the melee group a problem.
    Tell that to any melee villain who's ever run the Sharkhead Strike Force.

    I can't even remember the last time I used combining enhancements (beyond incidentally when I slot a new enhancement over an existing one).
  8. I'm a toon hoarder. I've got a few toons languishing in the teens that I just can't bring myself to delete. I took advantage of the recent free server transfers to move a few of them off my home server though.

    I don't think I can ever bring myself to delete a character after I ended up picking up my level 15Inv/SS Tanker after a couple years, actually learned to play him (after a much-needed respec), and got him to 50 pretty quickly. The only exception I might make is if the toon is lower than level 10. If I've only invested a few hours in the toon and I'm not getting much out of them, then I'll save the costume, free the slot and maybe reroll at a later date.

    And yeah, concept often keeps me going on a toon. That was certainly the case with the aforementioned Inv/SS.

    I feel shame for not making this joke first. My rage over astronomy/astrology got the best of me.
  10. Ick, no combining astronomy and astrology, please. Pick one.

    New Power sets?

    Guess I don't know how to use it then, I leveled one to 50 and always found it anemic. Haven't played it in quite some time.
  12. Barring any unexpected changes to my work schedule, I'm always home by 5 on Thursdays, and NBC's Thursday shows are airing their finales tomorrow night, so this'll be perfect for me.

    Old issues

    It's a good thing you resurrected this thread when someone suggested this exact same thing a few days ago.
  14. Making sure to sell DOs and SOs to the right vendor in order to maximize profit (otherwise I might not be able to afford my next round of enhancements in a few levels!).

    New Power sets?

    Fast animations generally gets you a weak powerset. Take a look at Dual Blades.

    I used gray Dark powers on one of my DM/DA's costumes that was meant to have him be skeletal. I quite like how it looks. (No, don't ask me to explain what the "white darkness" is meant to represent for a skeleton, I really don't know.)





    (Note that this character also has a smoky costume aura of the same color.) I tried to get shots of Dark Regen/Consumption on this mission but they didn't turn out very well and I was too lazy to go find lowbies to gank.
  17. But then we'd have to replace him with 4 clones, and that never ends well. (Armor Statesman, Kid Statesman, Cyborg Statesman, and Silly Glasses Statesman.)
  18. XP on outdoor mobs was explicitly reduced quite some time ago (along with halved debt inside missions) in order to encourage instanced content.

    So don't hold your breath, is what I'm saying.

    Game down?

When's that fix going to push live?
    When they fix it, one assumes.
  20. Doesn't work on robots due to lack of "artificial entity" origin. You can't even use it for Vision or Ultron. Fail.


  21. That's not a question, professor.

    Don't let the standard off-topic conversations put you off. If there's nobody starting anything, try forming something yourself. It usually won't go unnoticed as long as there's people interested.
  23. The OP may have missed the "return home" portal due to the fact that it doesn't seem to appear until you get pretty close to it. Also it's been exhibiting some buggy behavior lately, mostly with repeating its animation and sound effects.
