  1. It really varies based on the power combinations.

    My Bots/Trap started with Musculature, but Nerve(Acc/hold/Def) proved more useful.

    Thugs/Posion--Musculature(Dam, -Def, -ToHit, End Mod), just became a beast.

    Demon/Pain--Spiritual(Rech, Heal,+ToHit) Rech helped every heal buff and Debuff come back faster, Heal, well, my heals and Gargoyle's Heal. To-hit? Tactics and World of Pain. I was nasty before, and now just inhuman.
  2. 3 Parts Touch of the Nictus:
    (Acc/Heal, Acc/End/Heal, Acc/End/Rech)
    3 parts Numina's Convalescence:
    (Heal/Rech, Heal/End/Rech, Heal)

    Typically, I can cap my Recovery without enhancing EndMod at all

    It does Vary by AT. IF Scrapper BU is 100%, so is Guassian's. The difference is the Proc BU lasts only 5 seconds instead of 10.

    Yep. Even Hand Clap, will do damage with Fiery Embrace.

    Most pets do not take Range enhancements. Mastermind Henchman, never do. The Caridac Boost will only boost the range of power that will except range enhancements.

    From what I've read, she's born in the Water Tribe. She's mastered Earth, Fire and Water, but still learning Airbending from Aang and Katara's son, Tenzin.

    Now make sweet love to it...
    Oh my, yes.


    I've also seen a Stone/Fire tank that changed into Hell on Earth with Spiritual. He was out-damaging and out-lasting my SR scrapper.
  9. It's inconsistent; some missions you can board from Oro, some you can't.

    Chocolate Bar - what is this "candy bar" you speak of?
    Eh, say Chocolate bar, and I'll know what you mean. The UK says 'Mars Bar'--made me think they only carried one brand there.

    While I say soda, 'pop' is more common than you'd think:

    Smarties - these are like M&M's but they do melt in your hand...and on your fingers...and probably will smear stains on your clothes if you're not careful. But they're very yummy. (And I don't actually eat the red ones last, I usually make a SmartieBurger with my brown meat, beige buns, red ketchup, yellow mustard, orange cheese, green lettuce and toss the whole mess into my mouth.)
    The US has 'Smarties' too. But they're not chocolate, they're semi-sweet chalkiness. The booby-prize of Halloween candy.

    26.5s: Third hold from Geyser 1 fades. Now has a mag 12 hold on it.

    I've noticed that the hold doesn't fire at 0 sec. It doesn't start working until 6 seconds in. Every time I use VG, enemies run out of the effect unless I've placed Quicksand down first.

    I didn't read it.


    Stalkers are, by design, built to go solo--'anti-team'. They're not actually detrimental to the team, but they still get a bad rap.
    *shrug* It's usually a scrapper or brute that runs off alone and spawns unwanted ambushes and gets themselves--or the the whole team--killed.

    If Fringe is to be canceled? I will lead the lynch mob for the one responsible.
  16. Typically, any stalker. I only see them make it onto teams when bodies are needed to start a 7-8 player tf.

    Well, the rewards for Siren's Call are far out of date. The best you can get are SO's. Adding Invention recipes, salvage or even merits would be nice.

    Warburg is backwards. The reward is easiest to get when there is no PvP to get in the way.

    You must unlock it per character.

    Check how much salvage you can hold. At lvl 50 a character can hold 50. +2 per Invention badge of lvl 25-30 earned. +2 for selling 50 salvage on the market. +10 for the sack.

    So in reading this I'm seeing requests for continuation of the story of Malta and the Shadow Shard story lines.

    What other stories do you feel need to be further explored?
    The Origin of Hamidon. I have no idea where he/she/it came from, nor the Devouring Earth.

    The Coralax. (They have no back-story, although clearly related to the Slag Golems)

    The Possessed Scientists in Peregrine Island. There is no explanation outside their name, or why is keeps happening! At the rate they're taken out, we're running out of scientists!
  20. On Infinity: Musician.

    Perfect for my Sonic/Sonic, and just unbelievable it was not taken.

    Also, getting attacked triggers it in PvP.
