Asuria doesn't guard the vault, she's just the person we get sent to talk to. The vault is in Galaxy City... for now.

Syntax, you've kind of messed up your math there.

Attack damage:

(1 + enhancement+damage buffs)*modifier*theoretical attack

(1+1.5+.9+(-.3))= 3.1*.75*100 = 232.5 damage

(1+.9)*.8*100 = 152 damage
With bruising:
152*1.2= 182.4 damage

To put the example in more concrete terms:
With comparable slotting and set bonuses, a willpower tank will do 320 damage with Seismic Smash (384 with bruising) while a Brute with Granite active and a 150% bonus from Fury will do 470 damage.

Meanwhile, I don't think it's even possible to get Perma-hasten on a Granite Brute and still soft cap defenses. Though, with a really expensive build and Spiritual Core Paragon, you can get hasten down to 128 seconds of recharge while maintaining 45.5% Smashing/Lethal defense, so you can come close.

Yeah, my shield tank hits the soft cap with the set powers, Weave, Steadfast Protection, 1 full set of Gaussian's Synchronized Fire Control, 1 full set of Thunder Strike, 1 full set of Obliteration, and 3 sets of 3 Aegis: Res, Res/End, and Res/Rech.

Yes, both Shield Defense/Super Strength, and Super Strength/Shield Defense will hit the soft cap, but Shield Defense/Super Strength will have more Defense Debuff Resistance, more hit points, will see more bonus from Aid Self, and have higher resists.

Also, Tanker Grant Cover provides almost 3% more defense at base.

There's more to survivability than the soft cap.

Ah. Okay.

In the drop down menu accessible from the experience bar, you have a number of options. One of those options is costumes. If you select it, you'll get a window, similar to the one you get when you go to the tailor and they ask you to select which costume to alter. However, you do not need to be near a tailor to open it.

Do you have to change to a different costume to get the emote to play?

You don't have to go to the tailor to assign a costume change emote, it's in the window that you set your costume in.

Can she be a porter for Cole?

Is Golden Girl opposed to Cole's law? Even if it has pineapple?

Everyone knows that you're a shill for Cole.

Well, first things: You're seriously lacking in accuracy slotting. From what I can see, you've slotted four powers for accuracy, and one of those is Taunt, which shouldn't count. The +18% accuracy you're getting from set bonuses will not be enough offset your slotting.

I also don't think you need a level 50 Resistance IO when you've got those three slots of Aegis.

I wouldn't put the Performance Shifter: Chance for +End in Dark Consumption or Consume. Slotting for Endurance Modification provides more endurance, especially in Consume where End Mods will improve your recovery for the duration. I'd suggest slotting Efficiency Adaptor: End/Rech and Acc/End/Rech and Performance Shifter End/Rech and Acc/End/Rech, getting good recharge, End mod, and enough accuracy to hit regularly.

Dark Melee or Ice Melee are your best bets.

Yes, Siphon life is a decent heal, but don't underestimate the value of Touch of Fear either. It stacks fast enough to take a non-resistant boss entirely out of the fight. Well, assuming the taunt from Invulnerability doesn't break the terrorized effect. I don't know for sure because I've only used Touch of Fear on a Super Reflexes scrapper.

Ice Melee has Ice Patch and Frozen Aura. With a set of Obliteration, Frozen Aura recharges fast enough to keep even level minions asleep without interruption. If you cycle it, they will just nod off until they collapse from lack of hitpoints. You only need five slots for that. If you don't need the extra 1.88% defense smashing/lethal, I recommend using the 6th slot for an End/Sleep enhancement. Though... you could also slot a Call of the Sandman: Chance to heal self. That's nice in an AoE power. With 10 targets, it would have roughly a 40% chance of activating at least once.
