Put 3 numinas in every power that can take them. Use 4 eradications in your pbaoe attacks. Use 3 titanium coating in you res powers. 3 Lotgs in your def powers. Every thing else, slot for preference. Those slots are just to gain more HP. I'm not in front of mids to post my DB/WP brute built for HP. That's just what I remember doing.

On my claw/sr brute (slotted the same way I have a claw/sr scrapper) I took all but elude, taunt, and swipe. After fitness, fighting, and leaping, I only had room for foc acc. I power I have to turn off at times. After i19, ill add superior conditioning (conserve power's replacement) and physical perfection and don't think ill have to turn foc acc off anymore. As well as get a little more regen. I just haven't figured out what to put in physical perfection. Guess ill run a few missions with it unslotted and see what happens.

I haven't made up my mind what that last power would be. Not sure how much use I'd get from assault and I have no need for manuvers, not even as a mule. Don't team enough for TP. My ground speed is fast enough so ss is nearly pointless. Maybe ill take taunt. Claws' taunt animation looks cool.

Most of this stuff talked about was before my time. (Started about a week before i9.) I have heard the stories, though, and I think I would have loved the old COP hami raid, the IH toggle, the dmg/range HO in headsplitter and shadow maul, and the spine/invul scrapper that made tanks pointless, the days of dumpster diving, and the beast fire/fire tank.

What isn't before my time that I luved was the lvl 41 anchor bug and recipe rewards for completing TFs. I miss running 5 katies in a row a day on 5 different alts and ended up with at least one numina or one lotg recharge speed out of it a day. Its a shame what has happen to that glorious TF.

The 4th slot bonus in numina only works on powers that heal and don't have a res effect to it (like FA's healing flames and Regen's reconstruction because og their res to toxic effect. I wish they do something about that). It won't work on +HP only powers like HPT (but will effect the heal part in dull pain). 3 slotting numinas in as many powers you can on a /WP, however, is always a good thing IMO.

I haven't done this with a stalker yet. I did it with a DP/nrg blaster. I stood on a ledge of one of the buildings and hit them with hail of bullets when they tried to jump up to me. They couldn't reach me but my bullets could reach them. I can imangine somebody doing this over and over by resetting the mission. Thus the no XP/inf.

Hmm. Number pad 1 for quartz and number pad 2 for sappers. Not a bad idea.

Before i18, the last time many of us would see them is in numina TF and the eden trial since the greater devoured and the rocks would be the only thing spawning at level 49+. They have moved those annoying things to higher levels now giving us headaches in the end game. Having to pull for the sake of survival and not just to mess around makes me sad. That bind will be most helpful. I need to write that down.

One question, though. Do I put the chosen key inside <>?

The chasing is because of the dmg aura. No taunt in the auras. The one thing I hate about DB/Ela scrapper.

You can round them up pretty easily, at first. But when their health gets low, they all take off. Its mading.

Also, if you can get around the running, DB/Ela is good AoE combo set too.

Seriously. Body mastery is the perfect pool to replace fitness with having two powers that are good without needing extra slots.

So many choices to get for the lotg:

combat jumping (leaping)
hover (flight)
maneuvers and veng (leadership), stealth, grant invis and invis (concealment)
link minds and indom will (psy mastery)
scorpion shield and pff (mace mastery)
ice armor (ice mastery)

The accolade Archmage (hero) grants a power called Eye of Magus that works like MOG but last longer, a longer recharge, and the res values are lower. The accolade Demonic (vill) is it's counterpart. Personaly, I think demonic is easier to get.

I've been doing various things either on mids or in the game that have me thinking about certain ways some IO procs and bonuses will act or react. I will try to explain this as clear as I can.

First thing is about the acc healing +end proc. If it is slotted in drain psyche, will it work like it works in dark regen or will it work like performance shifter works in power sync? The same can be asked about performance shifter.

The second is about the gussian fire control chance for build up proc put in invincibility. Will it check every mob in the area or will it just start working like its in a toggle once a mob is close enough to activate invincibility. I already know it won't fire when no mobs are close.

This one is a little tricky. When you have mezz resistance bonuses, do they only cut the duration of said effect or the duration of the entire power effecting you? Let's say I have immob res and I get hit with web grenade. Will the -jump/fly last longer then the immob if I have high immob res or will it last the same amount of time since its tied in to the same power? If the last is true, that would make those immob res bonuses we take for granted a little more helpful.

Those are the questions that have been bugging me lately.

Give them time. Dont forget about Children's Crusade. On a side note, Avengers #5, i think it is, has a timeline in it. Some rather interesting events planned... maybe.

Read my sig. That is all.
