Postagulous

Since you can use them when held, it is my personal opinion that they should be taken. They are a great filler and when low on end and on Hasten you can fire them off when their animation ends.

I always take the first two attacks in Blasters, just for the held rule. I'm not aware of any real turds to skip.

You can get a Raptor pack in FBZ for 10k inf.

1. Do Outbreak and don't use your insp.
2. Kill two or three Outcasts running from Ms Lib to Went's.
3. Place each up for auction at 12 or so. They'll sell for 5k and 40k.
4. Shout for an SG or run to SC, green line, Talos, PI, FBZ.
5. If you got a SG, tp to PI. Run to FBZ.
6. Pay the man. Fly away.

Both are good but different.

I have a pure ice and a fire/ice. Fire/ice loses most of the control that double ice has. I don't have anything with a fire secondary, but I would definitely not miss out on the fun of a fire primary if you haven't played it already.

As for best damage, it depends on what button you press when.

I'm firing through the tanks/scraps/meleers to prevent aggro. I am a cannon.

Thanks, Local. This is just what I needed. It's a lot of information to take in at once so I'll need to look somethings up.

I do a mix of playing on teams and solo, but prefer teams.

I agree with your assessment on Gale at higher levels. I should make a bind "powexec_name gale$$say Sorry" as when I do use it it is because my finger hit the wrong key. I find deceive, Clap, or hurricane to be better for getting one off me.

How I tend to play: If I'm freshly rested and can do any of my attacks, as my tanker [or equivalent] runs in, I will do my PA, ST, and Freezing Rain. Then I'll target through that tank, or a scrap maybe, and use SW and Blind.

I watch for Stamina to come back up, as well as PA and FR. I rarely cast out two ST at a time, but sometimes too much aggro makes for a huge, graphics-card-melting CF.

Snow Storm is rarely if ever used. Generally only when I'm soloing because I can keep from getting that one killed. I also find it a little end hoggy.

I always have Phantasm out, unless he's aggroing crap, or just being too creepy.

The way my stuff looks now, to my untrained eye, is that I have more slots to place than I need. So, yeah, I guess it's time to just start using some powers as slotting mules.

This is my build with nearly all the enhancements ripped out. Most were 30 SOs and since my gal is at 34 now...or will level up to 34...and that's the problem.

I've slotted up all my heavy hitters. PArmy, my two ranged attacks, though those IOs are pretty old.

I'm going to re-read Local's guide and some of the others, but I know some of you are really good at this and remember IO sets, etc.

Some slottings from where the SOs died is obvious, such as Hasten, etc. However, I wanted to show them as they are now, in case you have better ideas than just slottign generic IOs.

I have [only] 18.5 million. Thanks guys.

Like this but with only the top part of the Chest Detail [scroll to the bottom of the Chest Detail section for the 3D objects]. No pointy bottom part, just coverting the breasts?

But under male you won't see kilts and shorts until you either buy Valkyrie, do ITF, or hit 9 mo. Otherwise there's nothing to be there.

/macro CC0 "cce 0 ccevillaugh$$local I like to laugh. I'm a happy boy."

eta: Ah, Master-Blade beat me to it, but it's easy to see how long I looked before I could find that it wasn't evillaugh, but ccevillaugh.

Even with the enhanced editor you still need to have it hosted, and photobucket is a good host for free. Then, to get the link for that image from photobucket, you need to click on the same link as to get the one with the IMG tags already on it.

Both are equal.

Use enhanced editor anyway though.

The only thing I can think of is that they used two peices together so it looked like that. The only common "bra" type peice is the enforcer chest detail without the extension. Not very Red Sonja.

None of the Roman of Valkyre stuff is like that. Hmm.

I'm not an expert, but since I was told to say away I'm posting.

Oh, that and I'd do Zephyr rather than those jumps.

No flashback as a lev 30.

Talk to the normal people. Some rikti here, rikti there, holo-dude.

I did think it was interesting that the lobby-gal said that the Hero 1 memorial was "here is the building down the hall," while it's five blocks away.

I know you can use the pageup and mouse or arrows to move the camera around. I've taken screenshots that way.

When scouting, I"ll zoom out around 100 ft from my person. Though I find putting the camera directly above them makes my flying awkward. Operator error.

You can only change costumes every 30 sec, so that bind would actually change you to the other, and after the 30 sec wait. pretty cool bind.

If you are making a themed costume change, you may want to remember that the change is based on the costume you are going to. This seems obvious, and is, but messes with one of my toon's things.

She drinks potion to turn into a zombie version of herself and inject serum to turn into her normal self. And now, she does the cast animation to turn into her Xmas self. But, getting back from Xmas requires the injection. Ah, inconsistancy.

But yeah, /macro Xms "cce 2 Cast"

It may not be called cast, and remember that they start from zero.

No one has mentioned this yet. Maybe some chip fried or is about to.

You might be entering the "pay someone because I don't know" area. Unless you have a brother-in-law who "knows computers."

I get serious chop when 9000 nictus and fire and bubbles and a grenade and everything everything is going on and I'm in the middle of it, but only then.

It seems obvious to say, and others have said it with more words, but power choices are key.

I took my 50 ma/inv scrapper and decided, just to be fun, to do a second build as a knockback monster. Just using SOs, but the first build was about half SO the rest frankenslotting for Regen, etc.

She was unplayable. Sure, she could punt even level minions into the next county, but that was about it. It was a totally useless toon.

BUT... [and it's a big but]

My invuln choices were the same, slotted the same [mostly]. My fighting was bad. I was as effective one of those team members who spends half their time chatting during major battles.

Read and study the guides. Use Mids to place the key powers, pick some pool stuff that's good for PvP if that's what you dig. Respec, rebuild, enjoy.

I'm very partial to MA and claws.

I think my MA/Inv could have gotten to 50 with only solo. And my Claw/Elec generally just totally rules.

Soloing is lonely.
