The real problem is with the paradigm of missions in general. Missions are entirely reactionary, and while many of the tips are written to try to get around that, it's still true. This is fine for heroes, because heroes are reactionary by nature: villain attacks, so hero saves the day. Villains are proactive by nature... in stories. But the system by which you get a mission and complete it does not lend itself to a character developing their own plan for world domination or destruction or sheer havoc.

I believe PS has been too busy fixing the zone crashing error from 19.5 to worry about getting the WST in the updater. It should get up there eventually.

While it's a good idea to have the WST pointed out in-game, Mender Ramiel is a poor choice. Only Incarnates get Notice of the Well from the WST, true, but everyone gets extra xp/inf from it.

A better solution, possibly, would be to include the WST in the Global Message of the Day (/gmotd).

Not all of them benefit from +Recharge, but otherwise correct.

If you're at the cap, what does it matter? If Tanker/Scrapper is good, and Brute is the same as Tanker/Scrapper, then Brute cannot be bad.

That reminds me. A few days ago I joined a PuG RSF on my MM, since I had the time and nothing better to do. I was the second person to join, so I had to wait a bit, but eventually we got 8 people, we started gathering at the first mission door, the team leader was standing by Recluse... and then the leader sends me a tell saying little more than "sorry", and I get kicked.

I discovered later that a 9th person had asked the leader to join, and they weren't a MM, so they got my spot.

I can understand the hesitation about an unknown Mastermind player, but if I may brag a little, my MM is beefy. I'm also willing, able, and smart enough to dismiss and resummon my pets for things such as stealthing to the Slinger, and navigating Atlas Park in the present and future without drawing aggro. Then when I respecced to get inherent Stamina, I picked up TP Foe, which works great for pulling Vindicators or Future Freedom Phalanx. (It's not quite so good for the tightly packed lv54 aggro monkey present FP.)

Aside from other people telling you how hard they found the challenge, that's true of pretty much everything in every single game since the dawn of games. And I'm not limiting myself to MMOs or to video games, either.

Some people want to be free to live their own life. Most people want the illusion of freedom which a ruling government offers them. Even you, Golden Girl, do not actually want the freedom you claim everyone wants.

The people that actually want freedom do things like live alone at Walden Pond, or donate all of your money to charity before going to live in the Alaskan wilderness. And yet Thoreau was living just outside of a town, and only lived by Walden Pond for two years. And Christopher McCandless starved to death within months of reaching Alaska.

You're fooling yourself; there's always a Resistance, whether they call themselves that or not. A subversive minority that wants to change the environment. In different places and different times, in different fictions and different histories, the Resistance has more or less power, more or less effectiveness, and is smaller or larger. But it's still there.

The difference between freedom fighters and guerrillas is PR.

Where the heck are you coming from? The conversation so far:

Signpost: 'These powers use the pet damage cap.'
Silverado: 'That's why these powers are bad for Brutes.'
Fleeting Whisper: 'They're bad because they max out the same for everyone?'
Signpost: 'It's because Brutes have a lower base damage'

I mean, seriously... what? Brute base damage has nothing to do with it, especially in a topic about maxing out a Brute's damage (being at either the pet cap or the Brute cap). I'm seriously confused as to why you're bringing it up.

Since when is it evil to protect your citizens from a world destroyed by violent mutated tree-huggers and from extra-dimensional invaders who want to remove you from power merely because your alternate-dimensional self didn't have to make the same tough decisions you did?

And the World Series has participants from all over the world, too.

The "good government" of the United States is based on the writings and actions of people who did those very things. Plus slavery, which is a subject that has already been broached in this thread with regard to the situation of the Seers.

But Slaanesh doesn't have a battle cry I'd be comfortable saying in public.

Since when?

Absolutely. As an example, my Praetorian character is an abomination of human and daemon born within the Warp, which appeared on Earth after a Warp Storm passed through Ύβ9-6. As someone who grew up among daemons and the gods of Chaos, her motivations and desires are often widely different from a normal citizen of Praetoria. While you might expect a love for Chaos to steer her towards the Resistance and the Crusaders, she's been all over the place in her faction choices.


Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Hell, if you're up to it, you can craft 13 T1s, 12 T2s, 8 T3s, and 2 T4s. Then you could equip any power in the tree whenever you wanted.

Then repeat for all of the trees, and you're good to go!

It's subpar because it's equal to another AT?

The same applies to resistance buffs/debuffs, for the exact same reason (damage resistance would be buffed by damage buffs). During beta testing for Willpower, High Pain Tolerance wasn't marked to ignore buffs, so Willpower Brutes became much more powerful in playtesting -- Fury was buffing their resistance.

Yes, it's possible for the powers system to accomplish what you're asking for. Whether the developers will do it is another question entirely.

Yup. That's me splitting my attention while trying to write messages.
