    (I've /petitioned this already, but thought I'd see if others have been affected.)

    2-3 hours before maintenance, I had a WW bid fulfilled. I got it, bought the salvage and crafted up an nice IO. I also grabbed another recipe right there and did the same. Slotted them both.

    Now, post-maintenance - my enhancement load out in that power is as it was before my new slotting. Roll back? Ok, fair enough....except that my WW bid has gone and I've not got the inf or the IOs.

    Good to know a tethered iPhone and 3G is good enough to play in emergencies.

    Thanks for the run Voo.

    Will try to come tonight, but my home net connection just went down.
    I'm not very hopeful of a fix at 00:30.

    Pondering using tethering and playing over 3G...

    Fortune Ettiquette

    POST-ACTION

    You shouldn't accept Fortune if you're mid STF and have the temp power needed vs Doctor Aeon.

    It uses the same icon as one of the fortunes (Moon?). I had the temp, got hit with Moon....temp power vanished. I had to let the fortune expire which then showed it as still existing as a power but with a crazy duration, then die, zone out and into the Aeon mission again...and then the temp power was back.

    Yeah, this is very true. It's why I threw a Run into Sprint just to be that bit faster. I often end up just using Sprint as my travel power. It's not quite Super Speed, but it's close.

    Actually....if I got myself the Pack with Ninja Run, I'd be a tiny bit faster than Super Speed with that added to Sprint. That's nearly worth spending the cash.

    Here's mine: Stone/Fire. Run out of Granite more than I do in, but switch to Granite when needed. (Some AVs, things with massive +ToHit that completely bypass Defense)

    I was pleasantly surprised how quick Numina was. I was expecting it to be more like Sister Psyche. Boring, but worth it for the Merits and Notice.

    I've got 25.1 run speed in Granite, 12.2 with Rooted as well.
    No detriment to defenses in getting it either: in Granite I've got 60.3% S/L, 49.95 F/C, 51.5% E/NE Def. and Resistances are 123.71% S/L, 86.5% NE, 83.3% F/C/E/T.

    Not that I use Granite most of the time.

    This.

    It's what I did with my long mothballed AR/Dev (created before Issue 1, fact fans!) and in the last month I've run the last 10 levels to 50 and taken her all the way to Very Rare Alpha.

    Dam/Range HOs are cheap, passive perma-hasten from IO sets (and combined with genuine Hasten most of the time) and 8-man teams all the time mean you get to AoE lots of mobs and have piles of fun.
  18. JohnP_NA
    Given the level shift and probably most of any enhancement bonuses you care about are available with Rare, it looks like the best part of getting Very Rare is probably the 'Incarnate' title.
  19. JohnP_NA
    I suppose that shouldn't be surprising.
  20. JohnP_NA
    Escaped Zombie is sat at lvl 2 in Praetoria now. I /may/ be a little late turning up tonight for start. Hopefully not, but thought it best to say.

    Absolutely. My Grav/Rad is much more fun than my Fire/Kin.
    (Admittely, the 50 Fire/Kin is on my mothballed second account but it's not something I've ever felt a need to reroll on the primary account.)

    (Not that I use Propel, it's just not worth it.)

    But with IOs I love my
    - ST Immob with %Hold
    - ST Hold with %ExtraHold
    - AoE Immob with %Hold and 3x%Dam
    - AoE Disorient (always always always follow up with AoE Immob) with ability to drop stray mobs on debuff patches
    - AoE Hold
    - AoE Hold Toggle with %ExtraHold
    - Ranged Epic Blast with %Hold

    Of course, I'm sure most controllers can do all of that.

    I used to think that about my AR/Dev, then I respecced a month ago in a cone maxed range AoE 8-man team build using the nicely cheap Dam/Rng HOs and IO slotting for recharge and...well, maybe it's not as good as Fire/whatever for AoE, but Full Auto is up on every spawn and things get cut down damn fast. I can't say I'm disappointed or thinking that I wish I'd played a different blaster type anymore.
