Eh, not necessarily.

There's really no reason to believe that Marcus ever saw Monica as a sister. (Unless it's stated as such somewhere that I'm no aware of.) It's possible to be extremely close to someone, without being nearly as close to their relatives/friends/whatever.

I don't view my best friend's twin sister, or her brother with any familial distinction despite us all having gone to school together and having known each other for more than half our lives. (It would be particularly odd for me to see her brother this way, given that we dated in the past.)

If you're willing to, you can use Alignment merits to buy high demand recipes (Like the LotG +Recharge) then sell them on the market. 100mil+ every other day.

I'm totally going to have to steal this idea.... just so ya know...

Only 1 of the sleep powers broken by the DoT proc is in Mind Control, so that's really not particularly helpful. (Thinking further on it there are 6 sleep powers that also deal damage. Flash Freeze (Ice Control), Siren's Song (Sonic Blast), Frozen Aura (Ice Melee), Sleep Grenade (Blaster Munitions Mastery), Mesmerize (Mind Control) and Will Domination (Psychic Blast).)

So that's 5 sets and an APP with powers that are at least partially broken by the Reactive DoT proc.

Only powers that are Enhanceable for damage will trigger the Interface procs. Mass Hypnosis/Spores/blaster Frozen Aura/Static Field all work fine still.

I don't recall reading anything that ever said they were an "item."

Most of the information with regard to GW/Wretch comes from Seer Marino's arc which seems to lean more towards the idea that they were friends before the mission and when Belladonna died she had been worried about him. As such she still worries for him.

Seer Marino states "Paolo was my older brother, but treated her as a second sister, and had volunteered to act as her back-up for a routine assassination."

He sees her as a Sister, not a lover.

Prettymuch. All 3 of the attacks from the Controller APP are already in Dom's Earth Assault (Hurl Bounder, Fissure and Seismic Smash). That only leaves Rock Armor and Earth's Embrace. There really aren't many stone powers they don't already get that would fit into an APP. Maybe a timed version of Granite Armor (like how hibernate/phase shift works) as a Power Surge sub-in,.. could steal Gravel which is a Cone aoe used by Igneous NPCs, but that still leaves 1 more power lacking and with only Stone Armor left to pull things from there's really nothing to fit in there.

I suppose they could just throw a generic power in there, like Conserve Power:

41 Gravel
41 Rock Armor
44 Conserve Power
44 Granite Armor (timered toggle)
47 Earth's Embrace

Could work I guess, there's just nothing really attractive about it.

There really aren't any Dark themed self buff powers that they can readily put into the set. I kind of think they might consider Siphon Life as the utility power. With an order more like:

1 Dark Blast
2 Shadow Punch (6s rech)
4 Gloom
10 Shadow Maul
16 Smite (10s rech)
20 Siphon Life
28 Night Fall
35 Moonbeam
38 Midnight Grasp

If they wanted something fancier, maybe turn it into Absorb Life. Melee minor dmg, self heal, self +Max HP for say 30s. Give it a 60-90sec recharge. Basically mini Dull Pain that requires a Tohit roll.


By Nightstar, I assume you mean Night Fall. I suppose for Blasters they could replace Night Fall with Dark Obliteration (altered slightly to be less Soul-y looking/sounding, and more Dark-y). It's odd to me that they chose to give blasters NF instead of DO in the PPP anyhow.

With regard to Life Drain/Siphon Life, IMO they should just buff Life Drain (for all sets) the same way they did Siphon Life. Make it into a standard T3 blast +heal, and leave Siphon Life out of Dark Manipulation entirely. Give them Touch of Fear instead.

This.

I don't even bother getting travel powers anymore, unless its for theme (Fly on Gravity controllers/doms, for instance).

Or in the case of Stone armor, Teleport is really the most practical (plus I'm used to it from leveling my Warshade back before Ninja Run existed).

Yes. My soldier has been a Crab a Bane and a Huntsman (current build) and when you respec out of the Crab tree entirely the legs go away.

I wasn't meaning the effect of the Unique itself, I was meaning the 6slot set bonus.

The 6 slot bonus is as good as it is specifically because you can only ever one of it. If you could have multiples of it, it would either end up being to only 1 positional type, or perhaps 1% to all positions instead of 2.5% to all.

That exact thing HAS happened in Praetoria, and IDF Colonel Duray is a subordinate of that "super-powered ruling class." Shouldn't Praetorian Duray be the proof positive of everything Primal Duray's been saying/believing this entire time?


Is this plot point worked out/hand waved in the new TF? Skipped over completely? Retconned?



Edit: Aside from that Sky Raider floating fortress looks AWESOME. Plus, outstanding job on the destroyers.
