From the thugs pov, it makes for a great panic button when the excrement hits the rotary air moving device. It has certainly pulled my character's bacon out of the fire on more than one occasion solo and it is a pretty powerful attack if you have only one target for them to focus on (they make short work of Adamanster... just saying). It is certainly a situational attack, you're not going to have it every spawn and frankly you shouldn't be able to; but when you need it, it is golden.

I fail to see how it is not WAI. The in game description of the power is: Burnout allows you to instantly recharge all of your Primary and Secondary powers. Burnout is very expensive in terms of endurance, and reduces your maximum endurance slightly for 60 seconds after use. You must be at least level 14 and have two other Speed Powers before selecting Burnout Recharge: Extremely Long

Condolences. I don't expect you'll get squat from your petition... but good luck.

Thug/time is a solid choice. Mine is a ton of fun and while I "know" bots are supposed to do more damage... I don't see it. My thugs pump out enough damage to take down things quick and when they're not quick enough, I'm making the mobs slow so it doesn't really matter all that much.

Another BR character. BR synchs very well with others with beam rifles too.

BR/ Corrupter, /BR def if you want to be able to buff/debuff too. another BR blaster for serious punch.

That's just the lightning ball showing you the proc went off Stuff was getting held, but more like a gravity hold.. kind of subtle. The proc is still way good and I love having it in mine, wouldn't do without it now that I have it.

Re. time's junction. I have the chance for smashing and the chance of -rech (like I said, I like procs ). The smash is kind of meh. I'd lose it if I had to. It is a kind of nice little tick when it happens but nothing spectacular.

Sounds like observational bias to me....

I don't honestly know what I'd like to see for set bonuses but I'd love to see a TAOE proc that has a 5% (or 10) chance to summon a pet at the target point, 8' radius 5 target AOE that does your damage again (think critical)

Just a quick suggestion... Distortion field really likes the lockdown chance for +2 mag. I'm a fan of procs, I have the damage procs in my distortion field too. It does take away from the set mule slotting but I like the powers that I use to be the best that they can be (and I use distortion field a lot)

Did they fix the pet ai where it panics on a burning oil slick? I would think this would be a deal breaker for the dark pets...

Yes, you're missing the selling side of the equation. Sell your drops on the market and you'll soon have lots of inf to work with. There are lots of tricks to getting starting cash, and all of the old market techniques work perfectly fine to have you set for the life of your character.

The market is for both selling and buying. If you only buy there, you need another way of raising the inf to play there. If you're selling stuff, you'll quickly have enough inf to buy too if you want.

yeah, most of my marketeering thus far has been nickle & dime stuff (crafted commons, a few 10-15 million inf crafted items) even though I've used the market for inf for building whatever I want for a long time... I've just started to stretch into the 30million+ crafted items and even 100million crafted items (*gasp*). Hero merits make it pretty easy to get into that part of the market.

Enough volume at 1million a pop adds up to billions. Not as easily as volume in the 25million+ bracket though.

5 on my thug/time... I think I need to get me on another ITF sometime soon

Looking forward to it. I'm going dark/cold on my dark troller myself.

Oh, I'm not worried about it

If someone came looking for their 270 million inf mistake I'd point and laugh It was just that this is the first time I've been a winner in the extra 0 lottery and had to post something. I do need the prestige for my sg base so some is going to get burned on the fire.

So, I received 300m for a 30m enh on the market today. I feel guilty. I think I'll have to burn my guilt on a conversion fire and buy up some prestige or something.

Yeah, Kin/Kat has been called for for a long time. I'd like storm/mace myself

Well, fun is a subjective thing.... but I really found the following fun

Plant/Time or Plant/Storm controller
thugs/time mm
beamrifle/cold cor
elec/elec dom
tw/ea scrapper
