  1. How does Patrol XP compare to Double XP? 1.5X to 2X?

    Don't they turn off Patrol XP during double XP weekends? So Double XP now just means an extra 0.5 XP.
  2. Its a tool that you can use to help defeat the enemy. I have it on my stalker(Dark Armor - Soul Transfer), but could not fit it into my fire tank.
  3. I would turn the color of rage from bright white to a deep red.
  4. These 3 are a set of 3 missions, the guy did them seperately, im not sure why, but they seem like something you'd like Evilryu

    66789
    99892
    123622

    These were not written by me, but I just enjoy these as they are challenging.
  5. I have a 50 Energy/Fire blaster that uses one in Aid Self along with 5 doctored wounds, and one in Sniper Blast along with 4 Devastations and a Dam/Range HO.

    if you have a Dark Armor character...have a bit of fun w/ Oppressive Gloom

    This is exactly where I put this proc as well.
  7. Well no wonder I could never get Caleb to spawn. I was killing the Spectal Demons in Cap. Doooh!! I'd never kill 100 though w/o a team.
  8. The only one I've never been a part of is the GM in Cap au Diable, Caleb. I'd like to do that one once. It is really difficult to get him to spawn though.
  9. I suppose you are refering to the GMs in Croatoa? That is because they are the easiest to spot and a team can do both in one play session.
    The add up to 4 easy merits, plus they are needed for an accolade Geas of the Kind One, so that is the additional incentive, I'd bet.
  10. It should be good against rikti monkeys. They are underlings. But my guess with that proc is that it just doesn't work, period.

    Im just the opposite. I cannot stand Rage. I still took it, I just don't like it. Its just not fun. Of all my 50 tanks, my /SS is my least favorite because of rage. I know, Im weird that way

    I tried to understand, but I used some objectivity when reading. I have a Granite/SS and took rage for the -dmg of GA, I never have a problem popping Rage and going to work on enemies. The weaken debuff lasts for ten seconds. If you cant handle the wait then, tanking is not for you. Lets not forget you can perma Rage, which keeps me running Rage all mission long. Don't get confused, just because its not called Build up, it does the same thing for a longer period. Thats like saying you hate hitting hard for more than ten seconds.

    Yes I know all about perma rage and how to live through the debuff, I had it and used it even way back when you were affecting only self with it.

    Its just the feel of it..for a lack of a better explanation. Its the the animation..the glow....the "i better wait 5 seconds before charging in so I can hit hard". I just dont like it.

    I even took hand clap just so it'd give me something to use when rage was down that I knew didnt do damage anyway...I just cannot get into a good rhythm with a /SS tank.

    But I have no problem waiting for Aim + BU on a blaster before firing. It seems those penalties just feel less of an obstacle for me to overcome. I can still hit hard with a blaster w/o Aim+BU, maybe thats it. But an SS tank out of rage just feels like girl fighting to me (sorry to any ladies I offended, just trying to make a point).
  12. Im just the opposite. I cannot stand Rage. I still took it, I just don't like it. Its just not fun. Of all my 50 tanks, my /SS is my least favorite because of rage. I know, Im weird that way.
  13. Ice Armor/Dark Melee tank or Ice Armor/Fire Melee tank

    All tanks are slow starters so don't be discouraged. Everything changes at around lvl 22, with SO's and Stamina, then really blossom at 26 with Energy Absorption. You'll never stop attacking.
  14. I have the Lady Grey proc in my Freezing Rain, and have a small bid in for an achilles heel for my Enforcers.

    Using the Blood Mandate singles, you arn't really concerning yourself with the set bonuses then, just using the singles just like a common IO then, is that right?

    That is a good guide. I have a lot of reading to do
  15. Which non-purple pet set would be the most beneficial then? Something I can shoot for until I reach 50.

    Im not fighting +3's so I think maybe Tactics was an unnecessary choice. I'll keep assault and maybe go with provoke so I can get the mobs to attack me and that in turn spreads out the damage and forces my gang to fight.

    The only attacks I have currently are gale and Nemmy Staff.

    The character just seems like its missing something that would make the missions flow better, be less tedious. I think a provoke might keep things moving. Waiting for Gale and Nemmy Staff to recharge is dragging me down.
  16. I have a few specific questions about slotting powers I am unfamiliar with. Thank you in advance for reading this and attempting to help me out. I need it. This is my first MM. (Currently lvl 26)

    1) Should I slot defense or resistance into Steamy mist?
    2) Why do enforcers enable both defense buff and defense debuff enhancers and which one should be used? Is one a mistake?
    3) Am I correct in assuming I should be taking leadership? If so, which leadership powers would be most benificial to my build. I currently skipped over maneuvers for assault and tactics, was this smart?
  17. pistoleros..mine will be mexican...what a concept
  18. Is Sniper Rifle from AR also seeing a damage boost?
  19. I tank. I care. I just don't care to argue about this older than the hills topic.

    I agree with both Kruunch and Aett Thorn about many other things. I have my own opinion about taunt and I don't care what anyone else thinks about it anymore. Its a tool I love to use and do use. I keep moving and I never stop attacking. That covers all the bases for me. When that doesn't work, then I assume our inherent got broke again. It happens.

    To tell you the truth though, I take comfort in knowing there are some knowledgeable players that understand the taunt mechanic as well as the devs do, for the most part, and can communicate with them to help narrow down what is wrong when it does break.
  20. I agree. Take Boxing, but don't use it. Remove it from the tray. Use 3 slots from that to 6 slot tough. Maximize endrdx and resistance both.
  21. You know what would be really cool? If you could somehow include Mission Architect into this. Like at the end of one issue, you point the reader to a Mission Arc number, and we can join with Ray Danner on a neighborhood watch mission or series of missions.
  22. The only foes we face in PvE that "trap" me in Dwarf form are Knives of Artemis. All the rest can be handled in human form.
