Funny. I, personally, can't stand Rad Blast at all -
Really depends what you're into. I think I have all the purchaseable/VIP costume sets, since I spend an eternity or two in the editor. Same with the power sets - anything that'll "make" a character for me.
Of course, you don't say how long you were gone - there may be some free, in game QOL items that help out (like the combat attributes monitor - see signature.) I set that up on pretty much every character. -

Point:
If DPS were the only thing that made a set worth playing, only Fire blasters would ever have existed in the first place.
This may surprise some people, but many people who play and enjoy Electric Blast simply do not care at all that their power set is viewed as bad or underperforming by people on the forums.
My wife is a good example of that. Her main is an E3 blaster, and she does not care in the slightest that you think her character is weak.
The idea I took what fit a concept or what seemed fun - or just that I hadn't played before - seemed to be completely unable to be understood.Quote:Do you purposefully take powers/powersets that are weaker or have minimal uses? -

Guess I need to work on my SS/Dark brute to see this difference... since the Dark/SS tank I just finished up didn't seem to take all that long finishing things off (nor does my Fire/SS - all versions of my forum-namesake.) Might be a SS specific thing, though, as mentioned upthread.

Not very good idea. Then it wakes up all sleepers around it. 2 areas are good for elec but only really problematic power is voltaic sentinel.

Quote:And that's just on the one account... 174 on the other. (Boosters, not characters.)Originally Posted by Texas Justice
I think Memphis_Bill has over 300 characters.
It takes a while to get around to doing that many boosts.
Honestly, I don't even think about them. I think I use the unslotters more (which isn't saying much, really.) Even have some catalysts sitting about.
TBH, I'd like more filtering for those items - get the ATOs in one category, stuff like boosters/catalysts/unslotters in another, inspirations in a third, temp powers in another, but I'm not sure how it would be done without making the UI (even more of) a mess. -
As i didn't really see it mentioned in the various PVP discussions...
Browse through the PVP and server forums. As a free player, you'll be *very* limited where you can post - honestly, if you don't mind throwing money at the game, get a subscription and it will be a lot more accessible. (There's a Paragon Rewards system that will permanently unlock some things - ATs, as mentioned, INF caps, etc. - but a lot of it is "permanently" unlocked as long as you have a sub, like the ATs, tells, etc.)
Back to the PVP though - look for (a) a PVP supergroup and/or (b) the people holding "PVP Boot camps." If you're really looking for it, you'll likely end up on Freedom - but that's another benefit to having the subscription, you have a lot more slots on ALL servers if there's PVPers you want to interact with on another server as well. -
Quote:I like VS, but I could go for this.Originally Posted by Talionis
I like the idea, but maybe put the Short Circuit when the VS is formed (Thematically the its pulling Electricity out of the Environment to make the VS). VS already has so much front loaded damage. Electric could use more damage AoE or Single Target.
Alternately - and something I've suggested before - is to "backport" what almost every other electric set has, chaining, into 1-2 powers. VS is one possibility, Tesla cage another (think those kitschy "plasma balls," but holding a shuddering, twitching enemy inside.) The hold wouldn't chain, but it would cause damage to anything around it. -
Works fine for my (currently premium) second account.

Why would I want to work towards something that can only be used in something that I'm grinding in order to work towards something I can only use while grinding for more of the same thing?
I mean, would you grind Positron so you'd have powers that can only be used on the Posi TF?
The content supporting the system should have been more extensive to begin with - solo/small team as well as trials. Sure, I'll run 1-2 trials with freshly incarnated 50s - but then they mostly sit. DA isn't interesting enough to repeat over and over and over and over again.
Of course, I know they couldn't put more Incarnate content out without moving people from *other* areas that need work. But still, there's little to nothing out there making me go "OMG, I really have to work on getting more Incarnate levels/powers!" I'd rather run another alt. -
Quote:Yeah, they can do damage. But what I'll always have in mind with Rhinos?Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
"Stupid Rhino smashing my stupid car!"
That brought me back to an experience I had when I was a child, lol...
There's one in the Homosassa, FL preserve. (Go for the manatees, stay to visit everything else - otters, eagles, gators...)
They make it *very* clear to be aware of the "spray area" behind the rhino. The very extensive spray area.... we gave it extra room to be sure. -

Yep. Two minutes. I seem to recall it being longer years and years ago, but I could be wrong. But for sure it's 2 minutes now.
Years and years ago it didn't exist at all, as I recall.

I believe it's in the body of the email, just like the 25 reward merits... let me look again, though.
Edit: Yep. Mine shows
"Enhancement booster (1)

... as the body of the email. -
Annnnnd.... at least for me, victory's acting up again. Just as I finished tweaking a costume that was bugging me, too... as in "Mouse cursor about two inches from "Finish" and closing.

For a while now, I've talked about what it would be like if Arachnos were taken out of most zones and control passed on to the regional governors.

Quote:/this. Though I didn't quite last that long - I'll join if someone's desperate for a fourth, and I certainly haven't farmed it (I think at most I've done two in one day... maybe one or two a week since then.)

I stopped caring about the thing a week or two after it started, personally.

Bluntly - What business is it of yours, and why is it in the least bit threadworthy? What's next, "If you RP, why not unsubscribe and just use IRC?"
Until you're paying my $15/month - and an irritation bonus of $35/mo on top of it - don't freaking WORRY about how I, or anyone else, plays. -
Er... no. If I'm not using them, I'm not using them - I may, for instance, be holding up for a boss fight I *know* is coming at the end, with a tray of purples, reds, maybe blues if I'm iffy on Endurance. Having those "autocast" on me (and filling me with, say, breakfrees on a tank, some awakens, etc.) would *seriously* annoy me.
Now if you're talking about stuff that *would* (in theory) drop being auto-cast... again, if I don't need it, no, I don't want it particularly. There are times, for instance, that I'm watching my damage, trying not to hit a certain point (or trying to get away from whatever it is before doing the last bit of damage) that getting a red suddenly dropped on me would screw up. (For instance, super stunners - or trying to be sure I've got a Fake nemesis or Power paragon protector in a position they can't PFF/MOG at me and waste my time.) And what are you going to do with Awakens?
