Postagulous

Not going to lay it all out like that but...

Fireball
Ice Armor
Fire Armor
QR
Hurdle, Health, Stamina
Shiver
Full Auto

eh, I've lost interest.

ETA: Oh, man, Obsidian Sheild. Divine Avalanche...

Cause I always take a screenshot when I screw up.

Let us rent the billboards.

What are the other costumes?

Also, c'mon, this is like trying to name your toon Superman.

If it could, I think we would have heard about it. I've seen a youtube of WoW on a netbook and it looked like ten kinds of baked [rump].

They may be more powerful now, but even my system, if I slide the graphics to the left all the way, usually when stuck in a rikti invation on the hill, it looks horrible.

Off Topic:
Does anyone's system not barf at the tight combat on the hill in Talos during a Rikti invasion?

The things that made my eyes bug out was taking and slotting both kick and boxing with KC when you're saying you're staying cheap. Also, they suck, IMO.

[Edit: the rule of pronouns would indicate that I'm saying KC sucks, which is not true. Boxing and Kick suck and don't deserve a single enhancement.]

Seems like the attacks that I would definitely frankenslot for bonus and also just not to take up so many slots have common IOs in them.

If you post a datachunk I'll play around with it. Otherwise it's a little hard for me to digest the information.

[also, I'm no expert. I"m sure someone with 10x my knowledge will come along any second.]

I'm less doubting and more curious now. What AE # is it?

I was thinking about making a fire damage only for my fire/elec tank, but the few times I've gone into the editor it was just confusing.

Off Topic:
My next alt was going to be a dark/db tank but all the stuff I was reading, except for one guide, indicated that I'd be out of end very quickly. I'm not fond of this and in fact one of my favorite alts is a wp/elec tank which has zero zero zero end problems. I could run other's toggles for them if the game allowed. But, I say favorite, but I stalled on her in favor of this fire/elec.

[Though I am playing two other alts now, a katana/wp and fire/rad controller.]

Tank needs broadsword.

Uni,

I liked some of the slotting and concept of your build. I've always gone for regen and recharge for my blasters because that is what is easy to build for and quite effective. I usually don't think of a quick tank, so rech wasn't what I was going after.

Also, having the 70% S/L makes me not want to mess too much with S/L def. In fact, my most worrisome thing is end drain like from the damn Mu. Geez, I hate them. Everyone talks about the Sappers, but really, the Mu show up more and just irritate the crap out of my face-planted body.

You slotted -4 kb twice. Why?

I worked on the build and finished it off, at least for this round, before I read your last post.

I wasn't really shooting for positional or typed, I just wanted to keep the damage out. My main thoughts were S/L because that's all I've built before or had protect me. I'm currently playing a katana/wp scrap and I'm amazed at what the above softcap melee/lethal can do.

This round, I went typed. I also completely redid it. I wish Mids would allow you to move a power. The order of my powers might be different as I mess with mids a lot, not that you can tell by the amount I know.

Here tis:

Some powers I feel are underslotted. As much as I love Shiver, I'm not giving it much. And I'm slotting two into rec friend so I can get the bonus off Time Space.

I think this can be done for under 600m using a mix of overnight bids and BUY-IT-NAO bids. For some, I'll put out bids of ridiculously low price and wait. Ugh, my jaw just dropped open as I realized my personal shopper, a level 50 ma/inv scrap, is not on this server. Crap. Eh, a minor inconvenience.

ETA: the personal shopper is still me, it's just that I'll load up that toon with bids then use the enh storage at the sg to hand things to the recipient.

Thanks again. I hope this build doesn't have any glaring errors. You never know, I might become some crazy farmer and purple everything that's not hami's, and a bucket of crap would be godlike after that.

Thanks again.

Edited to add/Later that day: OH, I understand now. We're not building S/L def because we have that in the Resistance. And the other components of the positional will take care of those attacks. Am I right?

Begin obsolete text ---

I think the thing I'm not getting, and it's due to ignorance not sloppiness, is the balance of things.

I thought the positional was pretty good off the Multi's. And everything has a position [except a few things which I've forgotten]

End obsolete text ---

And, re: rez powers, the only thing I'll say is that if I die, which should only happen once a night at lower levels and probably never at higher [and I'm fickle, I'll respec] But if I die, I don't want everyone to. The tank needs to stand back up. And I'd rather have a power like RotP rather than carry a rez, break free, and end and health insp.

Now that I've slapped the dead horse lightly on the side, I'll never speak of it again.

Thanks for posting the data chunk. More homework, and I'll spend more time on it. And, opposed to those people who say there is no limit on inf when building it, even though I have 2.5b [not all on this toon,] inf matters.

Thanks again.

I say /wp everything, forever. Nothing but /wp.

[and /da sometimes or /fire]

I always, on every toon, do Hurdle on my way to Stamina. On a melee toon, especially a scrapper, I'll get CJ. As for trucking around outside combat, I always have Ninja Run, with Hurdle will get your jump over 50mph easy. And for more vertical stuff, I have the jump pack that came with some expansion. It's funny since you can jump, doing your NR jump, through the air. It only lasts 30 sec so I get a raptor pack asap.

Generally, I don't worry about speed. I turn sprint off to save end sometimes.

Speed is important in a blaster that solos, and I'm sure other things. Super speed is good for backing up or RLH.

I'm not being sarcastic, k?

Click on search, above, pick advanced, and search for "spectral gale" [without the quotes] inside the controller forum only. That should get you all builds which don't skip spectral wounds or terror who ask about their builds. And, any build that didn't include spectral wounds or terror, someone's going to say something about it.

I'd post my build, which is probably not the best but she rocks, but my mids on my portable drive is messed up.

That said, and I don't want to imply you should give up yet. But on my mother-in-law's computer we had to buy a little USB dongle thingy to be her sound card because the one on her mobo died.

But, she had no sound at all.

I ran it in Vista for months.

So, other stuff can still make sound?

I'd say look around in Options first, then verify files. Someone else will probably have better advice. [I'm kinda bumping this back up.]

OP goes into a restaurant and orders a steak. Soon afterward, the waiter brings the steak and informs the OP that the steak is free. "Not only that, sir. But later I'll bring our a free slice of cake for you."

"Not good enough!" says the OP, shaking his tiny fist in the air. "I want my free cake now. Bring it out and put it on top of my steak!"

Here's the latest. Your advice was quite good. I never really thought about the unique charactaristics of a set, and would always just frankenslot if I didn't like what I saw.

I figured that Plasma Shield was best left alone. Throw a common endred at it and forget it. But, the resistance offered is good, if not redundant, and getting the def set in there is good.

The Erads just weren't doing it for me. I'm not sure if I've broken the rule of fives here with slotting Multi-Strike everywhere [I'm in a hurry to get to 2x XP] but it has good enh and good bonus, unless I'm missing something.

I removed the whole epic pool. I'm not sure I can slot my main stuff and have one really. I think I'll recall friend or some other stuff that only needs one slot. Rec Friend, Foe, and team would be handy. I usually try to fit rec friend in by 30, if not by 10. :)

Adjusted build:

Wow, thanks.

Man, I've got homework to do now.

What I feel that I am trying to work toward with my bonuses and slotting is an accurate toon with great defense and good damage that operates with no endurance problems and has some recharge boost, in that order.

Edited to add: Holy crap, I have some bids to cancel!

Hell, I can't tell who's being sarcastic anymore.

Who gives a flying f-thing? This is like arguing over whether you like mustard or not.
