"That wasn't very Paragon of you!"

Vegeta is quickly becoming my favorite DBZA character. So angry. Loved his comment on Goku's training method.

So "Somewhere in between" was actually the right answer. Comic book stories are weird sometimes.

Ah, right. Mine was just off bubbling an SR Scrapper, then having him hit Elude for good measure. The door thing, I usually do by accident when rebubbling people at the start of the mission. I do like how common Maneuvers and other team defense buffs are becoming. On some teams, I get to be softcapped, too!

Wow, and I thought my 120% record was good. You using Power Boost or similar? Of course, if it's just me doing the Defense Buff thing, I hit an even 48% buff now. But Maneuvers has seen a bit of a resurgence since Stamina became inherent.

Personally, I like a good Radiation character, apart from my own Forcefielder, it's the set I like to team with the most. It's got a little of everything, and I never say no to an AM buff. End is good. More End is better. Plus, I get to use Force Bolt to knock enemies into the glowing area. I wish I'd get to see Fallout a bit more, though. Just for fun.

I also have a soft spot for a well-played Trick Archer. Mostly because they're so rare, and partly because I have a level 50 one.

Kinetics... I don't really care for that much. Sure, I get what they do and they're pretty awesome, but they're everywhere.

But I suppose what I really want from any support character, no matter the powerset, is someone who's not asleep at the keys and knows how to play it. All of the sets are pretty awesome, all in their own way, but you need to play to their strengths.

I do feel that I need to speak up on Forcefields a little here. Defense buff is it's main thing, but the bubbles have some handy sideeffects, too. But if you're also capped for Toxic Resist and immune to Endurance Drain in addition to being softcapped, then yeah, can't do much for you... unless you're fighting say... Battle Maiden, STF Lord Recluse, or anything else with a stupid high ToHit. Then I can re-cap you.

Yes. Doesn't matter which two, but you need two different Tier 3s in the same tree to make a Tier 4. So, for instance, any two Cardiac Tier 3s can be used, along with the other salvage needed, to make one Cardiac Tier 4.

Well, yeah. He's the Evil Overlord of the World. You don't get that just by punching dudes. You need find the right dudes to punch, and also make a fairly comprehensive plan to pull it off. In Cole's case: Punch Hamidon when all hope seems lost, get declared "So awesome!" by the survivors.

As evil schemes go, it's a good one. Nemesis was trying the exact same plot with the Rikti, you know. He just underestimated the Rikti. Cole apparently knew exactly what he was doing. Don't underestimate his plotting ability. Many people have done that, they disappeared.

There is the whole "built an army of War Walkers to invade Primal Earth" thing that counts against Anti-Matter, I would say. He's not the worst of the lot, no, but building an army of killer robots for invasion purposes does cause a bit of a blip on the Evil-o-meter.

I could see Marauder as being mostly okay, though. He's an angry man, and pretty dangerous if you get him mad, but he doesn't seem that evil. Not a saint, but not too bad either.

I will admit that doing the softcap though Maneuvers and Alpha is a bit of laziness on my part, too. Plus I am constantly amazed how my teammates can manage to get behind something or run out of bubble range when I try to rebubble them. Which is why I have Vengeance, too. I can't defend anyone from their own recklessness, but I can use their body for Vengeance afterwards.

What? It pays to be prepared, and as long as people are in the big bubble of happiness, they're fine. 48% Defense buff fine, actually. Run off alone, and I assume they know what they're doing.

I did have PBU once, but it only lasts for four casting of the bubbles. Not worth it, since I want to softcap the entire team, not half the team. Plus I really missed Dominate and Mind Over Body when I tried out Power Mastery.

Hence the "almost equally annoying". Jerks about it or not, you can at least respect some of the things elitists can pull off. Noobs just have the elitist attitude with nothing to back it up.

In my experience, the only difference between elitists and noobs is success. They act pretty similar, and are almost equally annoying.

Vampire-plants were a pain. They need sunlight, but it burns them. They are, granted, pretty much immortal, but they pretty much swap between "Need sunlight!" at night and "Oh no! The sun!" at day. Fun at first, then it gets old.
