Myriad

Dito here. Plus I heard somone complain about it on broadcast. And WW was very laggy ... I mean more than usual ... before it stopped working for me. Didn't bother to relog, though. I wanted to take a break anyway.

Yes, happens to me on almost every bid. I klick the button to bid on an item, scroll down to find the entry in the list (btw, it was a moronic idea to add the latest item to the bottom of the list where you don't see it unless you search for it) and watch it vanish again (sometimes it vanishes very fast, but it is always there for a moment at least). Usually I have to bid three times to get one bid through. Since I noticed this I'm monitoring the market messages in the chat channel. And I wait a few seconds between bids to try and compensate for lag. Of course I had it happen that I carefully monitored everything, waited some time after each bid and still had several bids popping up in rapid succession. VERY annoying!

PM sent, thanks.

But please note, that the problem is not how to do a Swiss Draw (I know this) but how to start it after the I17 patch.

So you can blame it on others when you don't like it in the end?

I couldn't decide either. To make up my mind I rolled them all. Played a Kat/Regen to L38 (was trying to decide between making another regen or a new WP at the same time), BS/WP to L50 and DB/WP to L50 (using only SOs in all three builds). Then I decided that I liked DB (and WP) best and rolled a new DB/WP which is my main scrapper now. But she is not my badge-hunter. And I'm considering to roll another Kat/*, because it's a nice set and has great potential. Maybe even a Kat/Regen ... I have this idea of making a new */Regen lately. Hmm... or I wait a bit and roll a Kin/Regen? Decisions, decisions.

Without even looking at the builds I'd say pick whichever you like more. The Kat/Invuln is probably the stronger character, thanks to Divine Avalanche. But in the end strength doesn't matter much when you're badge-hunting (my badge-hunter is a storm/energy defender simply because she was the first character I ever rolled).

The Rectified Reticle unique gives +20% preception which is nice but not needed if you have Tactics (gives ~50% perception plus some debuff res) or FA (gives ~60% perception plus debuff res). Sure, it stacks with Tactics/FA, but why would you want it when Tactics/FA is already enough to overcome everything you'll encounter in PvE? Unless you PvP, of course, where the extra 20% make it more difficult for Stalkers to stalk you.

(The Gaussian proc question was already answered.)

I think this is why Smurphy added a superficial zero to the far right of every Inf value, Inf Cost and Inf reward in step 3. "This change essentially makes most amounts appear to be almost exactly the same except for the rounding up to 10 part."

Yes, sometimes I am "forcefully disconnected from server" - which shuts off of the client - when I try to enter a max size SG base with many itmes. It doesn't happen often and I believe it started to happen even before I16.

To speak with Han Solo: "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."

@Kioshi: check your PMs.

The "trick" is to 6-slot Impale with Enfeebled Operation and to include the Gladiator's Armor unique. And to accept some shortcomings in other places. My global recharge and net end gain is roughly the same you have in the build you posted.

Power picks are ok, I think, except for Acrobatics. Switch it with Physical Perfection (as Santorican already suggested).

Slotting:
One more slot in Lunge would make it possible to slot some Kinetic Combat for +3.75% Def:S/L here.
You should drop the 5th slot from Dark Embrace, Murky Cloud, Obsidian Shield and Tough. You will loose 5% Def:AoE and 2.5% Def:F/C but it would give you 4 slots for redistribution. And I didn't see the Steadfast Protection +def unique anywhere. Get it! It's the cheapest way to get 3% Def:All. Plus you want some KB protection (especially after removing Acrobatics). Check out the Steadfast Protection KB protection and try to slot it together with the Steadfast Protection +Def. If you need more slots you could slot Obsidian Shield with both Steadfasts and a HO:Ribosome Exposure, for example.
Death Shroud and Quills are VERY end expensive. Slotting both with Obliteration is probably not the best idea since Obliteration doesn't give much end reduction. You could slot Multi Strike instead.
Spine Burst (and Ripper) should be 6-slotted with Obliteration, imho.
If you intend to 5-slot Impale with Armageddon at least switch the pure Damage IO for the damage proc.
Drop the LotG: Def/End from Combat Jumping. The effect on end isn't noticable because CJ doesn't need much end, and the 0.2% Def:All you are going to loose isn't much if you find good use for the enhancement slot elsewhere. If you have the influence try to get LotG:+7.5%. This is one of the best IOs available and you should slot it in every power you can fit it in (up to a max of 5, of course).
Consider slotting the Winter's Gift 20% Slow Resistance in Super Jump.
Try to get the Miracle and Numina uniques and slot them in Health, if you can afford them. The extra +recovery will make it easier for you to sustain end.
Consider 4-slotting Stamina with Performance Shifter. This will give you more recovery.
Depending on what you are going to change, slotting Build Up with 2 Rectified Reticle and 1-2 generic recharge IOs might be an alternative to 6-slotting it with Gaussians.
Dark Regeneration needs more accuracy. Either use a combination of Miracle and Touch of the Nictus or use IOs from muliple sets, like Santorican suggested. And try to include the Theft of Eccense proc. It's very good.
I wouldn't slot Thow Spines with PvP IOs. They are VERY expensive and not really better in PvE than other available choices. I would slot TS with Positron's Blast or, if I have the influence, Ragnarok.
If you can, try to find a 3rd slot for Hasten. Another generic recharge IO would reduce the downtime by 16s.

Why is that? I never played a SR to L50, so I have no highend experience with it. But recently I had to choose a new project and made some builds for comparision. On paper the DM/SR seems to be unkillable. (I didn't pick the */SR but rolled a classic Claws/Regen instead, even though I have played both powersets before in other combinations - probably not as survivable but something that should be a lot of fun. )

My Spines/Dark is build for (capped) melee. When I created the build I also tried to come up with a decent build for Def:S/L but never liked the results overall. It's easier to build for defense with */DA than with */Fire, btw. DA has Cloak of Darkness which gives a basic 3.75% to Def:All (same as Weave).

With high defenses and an impressive AoE damage output there's no need for OG, imho. BU + TS + SS + damage auras is all the mitigation I'll ever need against minions.

I would drop 1 slot from RttC - it's good enough with 3 slots.
Drop one slot from Stamina and slot Stamina with 3 Efficiancy Adaptor IOs and QR with 4 Performance Shifter IOs.
Drop one slot from Combat Jumping and slot CJ with LotG: Def and LotG:+7.5%.
Drop Resurgence and take Barb Swipe instead and 4 slot it with Kinetic Combat.

You will loose 0.1% Def:F/C, 0.5% Def:Ranged and 1.1% Def:AoE which is all barely noticable. You will also loose 0.01/s in net end gain and 0.6 HP/s in regen.

You will gain 4.5% Def:S/L which brings it to 42.7% plus some def to E/N and melee.
You will gain 20 HP to your HP total and another 7.5% to global recharge.

Great work! Many thanks to you, Blondeshell and all others who were involved making it.

So it's not just me.

Looking forward to all the fun, chaos, party action, dancing, celebrating and whatnot.

Actually it turns you into a 60 feet tall version of Godzilla but comes with a 5% risk per activation that your arch-enemy Mothra shows up to fight you in Boomtown. And while you are in Godzilla form all people around you seem to be speaking japanese.
