    arg help me.

    You can always go Ill/Rad or Fire/Rad controllers. I pretty much play only melee myself and find these 2 combos to be a lot of fun.
  2. Here is just my 50's. I have way too many characters to list them all.

    Gruumch (brute) - 475
    AlphaDrohne(controller) - 382
    Loco-Motive(brute) - 336
    Kunundrum(brute) - 295
    Kold Phyre(tank) - 216
    Arc Overkill(brute) - 1452
    Bubbagimp(brute) - 157
    EternalTorment(brute) - 143
    Gruumble(tank) - 144
    Righteous Vengence(stalker) - 168
    Crazee Payne(brute) - 130
    Temporal Void(brute) - 200
    OmegaDrohne(brute) - 108

    Total hours for 50's - 4206

    I only have one with over 1000 hours and he is my farmer. Once I get them to 50 I don't go back and play them very often.

    edit: I have maybe 20-30 characters under 50 and they probably have 100 hours or less on them each, so I may have 7000 hours total over 5 years. I guess I haven't played near as much as I think I have or my wife accused of playing...lol
  3. Love the ambulance! It reminds me of the train I built in my base awhile back.

    edit: You need a garage door behind that ambulance.
  4. I say roll one up. I have a WM/EA from when the strong and pretty thread started. He easily can solo +1/x8 now and after respeccing on test I have upped that to +2/x8, so definitely nothing wrong with the set.

    Make a brute that has a damage aura, fire or electric are best. Once you have that go to AE and run one of the level 1 farm missions. You will be level 20 in less than an hour. There are a couple post in the brute forums that tell you how to do this.
  6. I love the character creator in this game. I can easily spend over an hour making a costume and tweaking power colors before I even think about coming up with a name.

    I am not sure why anybody is even responding to you anymore. You don't seem to even read what anybody posts and come across as clueless. Take the time to read some of the advice and visit the AT specific areas of the forums. There is a lot of good info there.
  8. Why in the world would you want to farm without using inspirations? They drop like rain and you only gimp yourself by not using them.

    And no that build wouldn't do it.
  9. I am going to have to disagree and say your primary in this case does contribute greatly to your survivability. Fault is just that good of a power. I have paired WP with dark and SS also, but with Stone it becomes much more survivable. Other than that all the IO advice is good. I actually went +HP/regen route with a healthy dose of +recharge.
  10. I finished book 5 yesterday and really enjoyed it. Now if he can only get book 6 out a little faster!

    pontification
    The act of speaking out for the purpose of hearing oneself speak.
    Posturing...speaking to people that don't really care what you say one way or another since you're speaking solely to front yourself as "someone in charge".
    Speech or written communication that is generally pointless except to cast favorable light upon the speaker or author as if the message were a pronouncement from on high.

    Urban Dictionary definition

    It's not a word you see very much and the meaning has changed over time.
  12. Here is a build for a level 27 KM/EA that is softcapped to Smash/Lethal and Energy. It is also very close on Fire/Cold and Negative. I really have never found anything wrong with EA that IO's can't fix very easily. I ran a WM/EA to 50 way back before either set got buffed.

  13. I ran into this on that same mission and since I have no patience for waiting on a GM I just auto completed it and /bugged it. Hopefully they will fix this one some day, but it may be a long wait.
  14. At one time this combo was a FOTM for PvP, but you won't see many of them anymore. I have had one for a long time and I still do play him a lot. He is my main badger and has T3's in all incarnate slots.

    The main thing I tried for on my build was softcapping S/L defense and get plenty of recharge. You don't have much to work with on defenses so it will be expensive to get there, but I have around 30% and do just fine. You will also need to dip into PPP/APP for some AoE.

    I will agree with you here. I have only made the effort on one character to unlock him, but I think the story arc is very good. I consider it worth the effort to run it at least once.
  17. I am sure by the time we get Omega we will be fighting mobs that are higher than level 54. If the pattern continues I would expect 3 more level shifts, so when we finally fight Cole he may be level 60.

    I enjoy the game solo or with others. I do spend most of my time on random teams with people I don't know, but I also have days that I just can't tolerate other people and will solo.
  19. Do you have all the unlockable contacts?

    I am part of this minority also. I have always just clicked on the powers and I normally have 5 trays open at one time. I also tend to place powers in a certain order on all my characters so I can find them easily.

    Basic Economics

    I like the prices purples are at, but that is because I haven't slotted any yet. I had one drop last night on a Lambda Trial and listed it on the market for 1 inf as a recipe. It sold instantly for about 350 million inf and I bought 2 sets of Kinetic Combats I needed.

    So it was you that broke Freedom!

    Wonder if I have time to craft it on my Dom using my excess threads...
    I picked it up the second day of i20 before I had heard it was bugged because it fit so well with my EM/Elec Brute. I definitely like the amount of damage it does but I won't mind when it gets fixed.

    They're going to nerf it into the ground soon enough. Shhh. At the moment I am too busy channelling Electro, one of my favorite supervillains.
    We all know it is bugged, so I am sure the Devs know it also. When they do fix it I am sure there will be lots of nerdrage and someone will quit the game over the nerf.
