    Yeah, (fake) money isn't really an issue, I just realized I had accidentally stockpiled 8 A-merits on a character that I want to take red side for the patron powers. I figured I'd blow through the merits on stuff I needed rather than money makers, but... meh.
  2. Huh. OK then, thanks for the information. I always sort of assumed everything was in there, but this is the first time I ever went looking for something that wasn't.
  3. You cannot buy the Doctored Wounds set with A-Merits?
  4. Thunderstrike offers 1.25 ranged for 3, and an additional 2.5 for 6, or 3.75 for the full set.

    I offer my planned level 50 build as an example

  12. I'm hoping they have just forgot to turn something on here, but I am trying to get my friend Ron into the game and he can't create an account. EVERY account name he tries to enter fails.

    I tried as well, and NOTHING will work as a valid account name. (yes, I am following the naming rules with letters, numbers, length, etc.) We were able to set him up with a PlayNC account by clicking the link at the top easily enough, but a CoX account can't be created successfully.

    Help?

    If you want to aim for softcap, do not activate Power Boost in Mid, but instead add 7.37% to all defenses (power boosted difference of Farsight). Another way of looking at it is to aim for 37.6% defense.
    Of course, for Defenders the values will be a little bit different.
    True enough. I *think* it would be softcapped on a Defender because of higher modifiers, but I'm too lazy to swap it all around to find out!

    I'm too cheap to spend 3 bil on the PVP 3%, otherwise it would be capped to all but range. As it is, I'm a small purple away from being *well* over softcap whenever I need it. Not to mention the just shy of 20% -tohit to anything withing 25 feet of me.

    I'm *hoping* that I will be happy with the build, as I plan on being pretty close to melee to get that -tohit to do as much work as possible. If not, I can always drop SS for Manuevers.
  14. I offer you my planned build for my DP/Time Corruptor as an alternative. I never use purple sets or PVP sets, so it is cheaper.

    NOTE: The powers are not selected in the order I would actually take them, I played around with the build a lot.

    Also POWER BOOST boosts the *entire* duration of farsight, even though it is a 15 second 'click', I just have to remember to use it before using farsight.

    It's like you've seen my build...
  16. Until I get the new MIDs I'm honestly not sure how tight my build is. My thinking is this, 3 single target attacks (counting PR as ST), and 3 AoE attacks. I plan on taking everything in Time Manipulation, plus Manuevers/Tactics/Veng, Hasten, CJ, SJ, and Scorpion Shield. I believe that leaves an extra power for Executioner's as well, but I'm kind of fudging numbers/sets with a hybrid DP/Cold build to see how things *might* work.

    I believe that is the case, you only get 150 for the latest month, but you'll get the additional 150 every month going forward.
  18. If you are a Tier 9 VIP, you get an additional 150 points per month.
  19. Would I be absolutely crazy to pick up 'Piercing Rounds' instead of 'Executioners Shot'?

    To my Mind:
    PROS:
    The damage is about the same
    It *might* hit more than 1 target
    It animates slightly faster than Executioner's Shot

    CONS:
    It recharges slower
    It costs more endurance
    It only exemps down to level 26 (earliest I can take it)

    In my planned build (A DP/Time Corruptor), I have perma hasten and tons of endurance recovery via sets and uniques, so 2 of my CONS go away.

    So what do you say, would I be out of my mind? My current character is 1 bubble shy of 26, so I haven't had a chance to pick this power up yet either.

  21. Detective Ghaly's taunt aura is off the charts!

    Obligatory FPARN goes here.
  22. Masterminds and Controllers, all of them. The play styles just don't work for what I like to do.

    That would be disastrously hilarious!
  24. I ran this arc on 11 alts yesterday for the Alignment Merit, none of them are built specifically to exemplar. The Ambushes in the second mission can be completely skipped by popping 2 purples and running to each of the glowies and clicking it. I don't think this are took me more than 15 minutes on any character except my first Hero and Villain, and that was because I stopped to read it.
