While we're at it, how about the tattoo sleeves/shirts that males get being given to females as well?

Quote:Not even the Brute forums think Brutes are as tough as Tankers. Brutes don't even come close to replacing Tankers.Originally Posted by JohnX
Tankers may need such an adjustment to keep Brutes from taking their jobs.
Scrappers have far more to worry about from Brutes than Tankers do. -
Quote:If your Minions and Lieutenants are getting toasted without heals, you're neglecting your pets. With both of my 50 MMs, the Bots and Thugs are all soft-capped (or at least nearly so), and don't have problems with getting massacred.Originally Posted by prev1
Without an AoE heal (better than the MM version of Twilight Grasp) your minion/lt's WILL get toasted, which brings us back to the first problem.
Of course, both MMs also pull the alpha onto themselves, not their pets, and let their own defences and BG mode take care of it. I'm always pulling alphas with them (of course, I pull alphas with my Corrupter too, but that's another story.) -
Any MM is an excellent soloer, of course, but your best bets will probably come through any combination of Bots or Thugs and Traps or Dark. FF also factors in, but reports are that it tends to be boring, and unlike Traps and Dark, FF doesn't really have any tools to make things die faster or pull you out of a fire if your defence fails you for some reason.
So, Bots or Thugs, Traps or Dark. Any combo. -

Okay, so explain to me the person I saw in the D having a spat with another. The second character hits the first with a chain, and the first one emotes "He would recoil from the pain in his arm", and a moment later "grabs other character by the arms and holds her up in the air".

And of course, casting spells or using magic items is magic origin. Yes, even if it's just an item, the powers your using originate from a magical source.

Never seen anyone do that.

Once a few redside players see real Tanks redside, this nonsense that Brutes are "villain tanks" will forever be put to rest, and then Brutes will be able to just unleash the hurt like they were always intended to.
Everybody wins! -
However, your personal resistance is applied before the damage is split, so any resistance you can gain will decrease how much you take and how much your pets take in BG mode.

Well, if you ever want to skate the dark side, feel free to look me up. I don't do heroes.

Dear devs: stop locking our EU brothers and sisters away from us. Merge the server lists. We've been good kids. Let us all share the same pool.

Traps is plenty team friendly, so long as your team understands the rule "We're fighting HERE, make it so."
Might not use most of the powers in caverns, but for end-boss fights it's divine. -
My general rule on the line between "Natural" and "Technology" is whether you can buy it in a store. If it's available for general purchase, or otherwise somehow widely available (black market, for villains, would qualify), you're still "Natural". If it's high-tech stuff you have to make/repair yourself or some gadget you stole/were given by someone else who likewise made it themselves, it's "Technology".
So it's mostly a matter of degree. Mundane Technology is "Natural". Sci-Fi Technology is "Technology". -
Both ideas sound quite dandy to me. Salvage prices and supply on the market have been simply ludicrous for quite some time, and things don't seem to be getting any better.

Be ashamed if you even STARTED to smile at that, and even moreso if you laughed.

Quote:I should look you up. It's so rare I find people willing to do Mayhems the right way.Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
We have left Talos and now Brickstown with not a car, mailbox, phonebooth or even a cardbvoard box left standing. Completed all the sides and with, usually about 30 minutes left, we recluctantly head to the bank cause there is nothingh left to blow up.
For me, my VG mates love teaming with my Masterminds. I'm not sure if I'm just a good Mastermind, or a good build-designer, though. I certainly don't micro-manage my pets like is so often suggested, and both of my 50 Masterminds are engines of destruction with ridiculous defences and are more than capable of soloing 8-person content by themselves.
My Bots/Traps does spend time healing teammates with Aid Other, though, but that's mostly because she and her Bots are all soft-capped, and thus I really have nothing else to do anyway.
(The Thugs/Dark doesn't do much healing, because of the pitiful radius on her Twilight Grasp. She concentrates on debuffing and taunting, instead.) -
Name: The Supreme Society
Currently Recruiting: Looking for new players.
RP Level: RP-Heavy, with regular RP nights and RP mission teams.
PvP Level: Casual RP-PvP
Theme/Concept: The Supreme Society is an old-school group of costumed super villains out for the classical "take over the world" scenario. Think Legion of Doom or an evil Squadron Supreme. On VirtueVerse (currently undergoing revision).
Activity: Several dozen members, with a core active around ten to twelve. Most activity Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday nights with occasional activity in-between.
Requirements for Membership: Must be open to RP, must be a Villain (anti-heroes wouldn't really fit in). Traditional spandex-and-cape costumes are favoured, but not required.
Leadership: Eiko-chan, Hymnal, Agonus
In-Game Contact(s): @Eiko-chan, @auto-run, @The New Black, @Larina, @Raahh
Out-of-Game Contact(s): On the forums: Eiko-chan, Agonus, tensionfade
URL: The Supreme Society on GuildPortal
Other Details: Now under new management!
The Supreme Society maintains an OOC channel to keep members in touch with one another even across various alts. Consider us very "alt-friendly". Folks are generally willing to switch alts to make teams work. -
Quote:If you don't take any MM attacks, you are not getting the most leverage out of the Mastermind. The only downside to MM attacks is how horribly end-inefficient they are, and while some secondaries need to keep this in mind (Dark, Poison), others (Traps, FF) are more than welcome to waste their endurance because they really have nothing better to do with it.Originally Posted by _Ethereal_
For the record, If you take any of the mastermind attacks, you don't know how to play a mastermind.

Quote:Just to give you a feel for how much this is so, a base Mastermind, factoring in BG mode, has more effective health than a health-capped Tanker.Originally Posted by Lucky666
It just seemed to make everything easier, I didn't have to re-summon my pets nearly as often and MM in BG mode can take one of the biggest beatings in this game.
And your resistances are applied BEFORE sharing, and thus effectively apply to the entire virtual health pool.
A MM isn't going to out-tough a Stone, Invuln, or WP, but it can probably beat lighter sets like EA or Fire. And MMs are way better at taking Alphas than Brutes. -
Quote:When fighting enemies with 25% defence or more.Originally Posted by Vitality
When, if ever, would this not be enough accuracy in an attack?
(Assuming no +tohit, 25% defence yields a 50% chance to hit - 50*1.8 = 90, which is less than maximum to-hit chance.) -
Would a suggestion allowing Villains to select Patron Pools without having to complete a Patron Arc be visited with as much rejection?
