    Never seen my blue bar that low since slotting my very rare.

    Successful BAF

    Quick off the mark of the Lambda, now with Damz leading, we just had ourselves a successful BAF run,

    think its the first for Union too?

    My deary deary me, I've never seen a new AT suggestion I loved the thought of playing until I saw the secondary combinations for this guy.

    Also the Wildcard guy looked pretty fun, if not just for Lightning Roding into PFF
  4. Electric Melee Loves recharge.

    More Lightning Rod's the better. So keeping that alpha is a good idea.

    Are you 4 slotting LoTGs for the bonus, or just the push towards defence? If its the latter, its a bit slot inefficient imo, if its the former then thats ok!

    To reach softcap you could spend days grinding out Merits for the PvP IO that also gives +def and removing one of the over slotted defensive powers... or changing the slotting on Chain induction to be 4 of another set of Kinetic Combat, and 2 others of your choice puts you there with ease, and no need to mvoe around slots at all.

    Are you mistaking Leonard Nemoy with what Orson Wells was quoted as saying?

    The long maintenance, not very often. Especially when its not alongside a big patch.

    An accidental roll back, less often still.
  7. I'll say Demons/Dark because I have one, and I know how hard it rocks.

    Tho on paper Bots/Traps rocks just as much.

    Also entroptic chaos chance to self heal, while not so full of awesome has its own hidden levels of awesome that AoEs would make super awesome (even if it possible for a similar effect with Call of the sandman and AoE sleeps)
  9. Chocking Cloud will see it once every 10 seconds make a check.

    Volcanic Gasses works slightly differently, it summons a pet, which summons pets which cast powers. Each time one of these summoned sub-pets casts a power it can go off. Yummi yummi holdy holdy... best place for it imo.

    atleast they removed the endurance cost from hide. That was a much needed QoL.

    Just look at the "Omega Maneuver" for crabs on how the 'bomb' thing can be done right.

    Not all of us are preparing for afternoon tea watching our beloved royale family waste money on a wedding.

    I'll be sleeping as I'm working that night, and if i'm not sleeping i'll be vehemently ignoring the festivities on general principle and grumpyness.

  17. The whole of the "Wretched Man" arc I find very well written red-side and (although its infrequent now) I always try to cover it with a new villain.

For your information In May I will be playing this game for 4 years and for the past 3 years this has always happened.
    I am not saying you shouldn't be able to celebrate whatever holiday you want, it's all the complaining that Americans don't celebrate other countries holidays, if you want to celebrate a holiday then do it, don't interrupt threads and celebrations to complain about how your countries holidays aren't celebrated. Start your own thread saying Happy Boxing Day or whatever holiday you want, then do whatever you want to in game.
    Really, I've never noticed this.

    Usually it tends to be from a fairly new American player "Why can't we have some sort of Independence Day or Thanks Giving Event to celebreate our tradition"

    And the res tof the community, NA and EU alike pipe up and say "Its been suggested alot, and not everyone who plays the game is from USA so it would be alot of wasted dev ours that would go unnappreciated on Every other continent except NA, and of NA, only 1 country in it"

    And then everyone gets on with their lives. I've certianly never seen a "ZOMG why are you all wishing eachother Happy Turkey day when you all skipped St George's day" since its a fairly open form, when St Geroge's day comes around people can just start a thread to their liking.

  20. But then things are gonna get confusing, next 2 level shifts are confusing, so will I be 50+1+2 or 50+3, or 50+0+2 (if alpha isnt slotted?)

    Trapdoor

    My mastermind ate him alive.

    And then again 5 mins later when someone was struggling with him.

    Traps/Ice/???

    Mace Mastery will allow you to achieve the easiest softcap ever for a defender (not counting PFF)
  23. Hey Guys,

    I know that DA's Oppressive Gloom and Fear Aura supress when hidden now, but I was wondering how these function with Lightning Rod?

    I know LR causes agro, but doesn't break hide, and I would eeerrrr on the side of "OG won't be active after LR"

    But just wanna double check?

    Thanks,
    MJ

    Sensibly about 20 - 25 A - Merits will net you the correct amount of inf to buy one of these off the market.

    However 35 is the cap-out to pick the level of enhancement you want, and requires slightly less thought and impulse control... If I had 1 1/2 billion inf and had a few more recipes to get and sell I don't think I could hold on to do that, but thats just me.

    35 only took me about 20 days to get, which to me was a good, infless investment, and I chose a level 10 Panacea Proc so it always works.
