Psychoti

Pretty much 24/7. Of course, Electric Control just bypasses the setting. Grr.

I used to have a Teamspeak server set up on my secondary PC, it worked fine except when my internet was going wonky.

I soft-capped my S/L defense on my Ice/Earth Dom. 2 days later, I respec'd him 4 times to get the IOs out and into a toon that could use them better. It was so very much not worth soft-capping his S/L defense. Your mileage may vary, of course... but I had to sacrifice a heck of a lot of recharge and endurance reduction to get soft-capped and in the end the build was so endurance-heavy I simply couldn't play it. I was out of endurance after only a handful of attacks.

If you can do it without sacrificing too much in other areas... it's nice.

My Fire/Fire tanker was my very first character made with farming in mind. She does so well at it, too. I enjoy it for normal, everyday PvE as well... but I rarely do any of that blueside anymore anyhow.

I'd honestly ask this in the Tanker forum, but I'd recommend both Weave and Hasten. I never had too much end problems on my Tanker without Conserve Power, but I slotted end reduction in pretty much everything but Hasten.

Ah, thank you. I did try [poisonous ray], but wasn't sure if that was the right one.

I looked there too, and it lists some damage as PvE and PvP only, then another set below it with no such modifiers that when all added together is like to Mids.

Is Mids accurate for Poisonous Ray and Disruptor Blast? Looking more at the PvP damage on it than the PvE.

What's more annoying for me is having someone tall standing behind a shorter character so you always target the person behind you even though they aren't on your freaking screen.

I'm going to have to go with Traps and TA.

I love playing my trick arrows and love playing with other trick arrows. It's a very versatile set that brings something for pretty much every team.

If you're not actually Stuck, please do not use that tactic... "Stuck" generally means you have no other venue. You can still play other missions and such, after all.

I think it falls under 'General Help', but do as you will.

I think you read far too much into Master-Blade's reply.

Edit: Gah, hate hitting Post before I mean to.

Reasonable time to wait is usually a day or so, depending on the severity of the issue. "Stuck" requests get priority, of course.

Single-target Immobs work great to scatter the pack enough to deny them death-heals. If you can coordinate AoE spikes that are fatal to more than a few of the ghouls, that is also helpful as your own personal alpha strike.

In the one group scenario I was in with Ghouls I was on my TA/A defender, another player was a /Devices blaster, and we had someone else with an immobilize, I forget who. We really didn't have any trouble with the Ghouls but I think it was due to our ability to thin the herd with the first salvo and then pick apart the rest as they separated.

I have a Kin/Psy, he's a very, very old toon. I barely ever play him anymore because I got completely sick and tired of only buffing teams. It got to the point where I don't even bring him out anymore except very rarely with friends. If there's as much as a single pick-up member I will take someone else.

You know, far too many people watch their buffs blink and disappear for those 10 seconds just so they can yell at the kin on the team for letting their speed boost dissipate. I mean they literally just [Censored]ing STAND THERE and watch it go away. Screw that. I'm not your damn baby sitter unless you're going to pay me $8 for the night and let me take a popsicle out of your fridge.

And it better not be a lemon one, either.

A lot of people will love a well-played Empath or a well-played Force Fielder. I am far more partial to my FF/NRG than to my Emp/NRG, but they are both very good characters.

It's okay. I got a DP/Cold Corr up to 34 or so before deleting it and remaking it a Cold/DP defender. The redraw does get on my nerves at times, but it's okay. It's not a seriously damaging set, but it's still fun. I still prefer my Cold/Sonic but with my Cold/DP I found that I was more able to get in some powers that I really wanted like Frostworks.

I think my defender is in the mid-30s now, don't remember for sure. It's a fun character to group with but I don't know that I'd care to solo it until I get Heat Loss down to near perma.... DP's AoEs are end hogs.

I thought this was going to be about the weird ambush spawn size for some of the missions. You know when you select a mission and you'll get a handful of mobs from that enemy group try and get you before you go into the mission?

Well, the other day I decided to unlock my second costume slot. I was set for +0/x1, no bosses, no AVs. I get the mission, go up the street a little ways, and await my ambush.

I'm looking around, occasionally glancing up because for some reason Tsoo like to run the rails. Then I see a lot of movement down the road. I think to myself, "That can't be mine."

24 Tsoo later, yeah... it was mine. All my level, lots of lieuts and minions. 24 freaking enemies for a solo level 28 (I think) scrapper.

Well, mobs have started fleeing my scrappers like crazy when I'm solo, so I play my brutes now. I really like my Spines/Fire scrapper still, but only when I'm grouping with friends.

The more the better. Let me find the wiki link....

Defense Effectiveness

This should help you find the right amount for your own playstyle. I have a build that softcaps my Elec/Invuln scrappers S/L defense with a couple mobs in Invincibility. Don't know that I'll complete the build seeing as mobs flee him like rats from a sinking ship.

Option 2.

On a somewhat related note, regarding menu clutter... I hate having the Greek Alphabets in my chest details. I absolutely hate them. I wish that were an optional vet reward, I will never use them myself and I don't like to have to scroll backwards through the list just to avoid them.

For the majority of my characters:

Combat Jumping
Recall Friend

Not sure what I'll do with the third power, I will likely take the tier 6 (or was it 5?) power from the secondary earlier. My slots will be all messed up, but oh well... Stamina still gets 2 from me for 2 End Mods and a Proc.
