The followilg is for PVE only. Don't ask me about PVP, I know next to nothing about it.

Between Regen and SR, it depends on your primary. As has already been said, Regen is very click-intensive, so you're going to have a lot of redraw if you pair it with a weapon set. How much of a problem that is depends entirely on you; some people hate it, others don't care. SR, on the other hand, only has one click power (outside of the god mode), and you're only going to be hitting it once every 1.5-2 minutes, so it's more redraw friendly.

Sword sets are an exception. With Parry/Divine Avalanche, you can easily add a good chunk of defense, which can bolster SR's existing defense, or pair with Regen's +regen for multiplicative survivability. I would consider putting up with the redraw tolerable on a Katana/Regen.

One of the best sets for PVE is Broadsword/WP (Katana works too, but BS's higher damage plays more to a Stalker's burst damage method, in my opinion). Combining Hide, Heightened Senses, Combat Jumping, and Weave gets you decent defense to almost everything, and Parry gets Melee and Lethal softcapped with one or two applications. Your +HP comes from an auto power, so there's no redraw from hitting Dull Pain (though you do lose out on DP's heal), and you get a bit of resist from it as well. Mind Over Body and Weave combine to give you very good resist to S/L, meaning that you don't need to hit your heal too often. And of course you have extra regen from Fast Healing (and probably Health too, since stalkers don't get Quick Recovery, meaning you'll need Stamina for all the extra toggles I've suggested). In the end, you'll have medium to high Defense, Resist and Regen, plus a self heal - you can't get much better than that. Unless you take Soul Mastery and use Shadow Meld to softcap yourself to everything before Assassin Striking - you won't even notice the Alpha.

Something like what I'm suggesting is a very tight build - I gave up a travel power and am using Ninja Run instead to help make room. But the potential off SOs alone is VERY good. Add IOs, set bonuses and accolades, and it becomes even better.

One small issue with your example: You don't have 102% enhancement, you have four 25.5% enhancements. This is relevant because scaling is applied to each enhancement separately.

Why is this relevant? Because there are two different thresholds (mentioned in the linked article) where, if the enhancement value is below the threshold, and you don't exemplar below the level for that threshold, the enhancement doesn't scale at all.

By picking the right multi-aspect IOs, at the right levels, it's possible to slot a character in such a way that none of their enhancements will scale at all until you reach extremely low levels. This is difficult, and results if fairly low total enhancement values, but it is a valid slotting option.

Yes. Any time you apply the code from a boxed set to an account, you get the 30 days game time.

Note that each different boxed set can only be applied once to each account, so if you already have Architect Edition on the account in question, you can't apply it at all.

Also, NA and EU codes are not interchangable. If you already bought the NA box, you can't use its code on your EU account.

If the mission objective includes defeating enemies, when you have defeated most of the required foes, all required foes remaining on the map highlight. Some missions highlight too much, and a couple are glitched and don't highlight in all. But, excepting bugs, your wish has already been granted.

As saist said, it doesn't work that way, and I don't think that the game engine would allow such a system.

The only way to allow the player to end the power would be to make it a toggle. Right away, that changes the balance of the power, because click powers start recharging while they're still in effect, whereas toggles start recharging when you turn them off.

There's also the issue of duration. I'm not aware of any toggle in the game, or previously in the game, which has a duration and detoggles itself when the duration runs out.

Then there's the matter of the power's effect. In a click power, you get a buff for a set amount of time. With a toggle, you get a buff that doesn't stack with itself for a very shot duration, but it refreshes itself before the duration ends, while the toggle is still active. No real difficulty here.

The crash on a click power is just a self debuff after a set delay. There is no check for the toggle turning off, so there's no way to trigger the crash early. And baking it into the buff pulse won't work; any instant effect, like Invuln's End and HP crash, will fire every time it pulses; the "doesn't stack" flag won't affect them. See the -End portion of the crash in Rage for an example of this.

I personally would like it if "Godmode" powers could be prematurely ended. But I don't think the system allows it to work.

The only way that enemy faction matters is how it affects kill speed. You get the same drops from any faction, but some are weaker against different types of damage than others.

I'm not sure if you meant Dark Melee or Dark Miasma by DM, nor am I sure what your secondary is, but if it's Dark melee, there's a certain mission from unai Kemen loaded with Devouring Earth rock creatures. DE are weak against Smashing and strong against Lethal (If rock or gem) or weak against Lethal and strong against Smashing (if plant or fungus). The boss-class Devoured aren't weak against either. All types of DE are weak against Negative. That means that your Negative/Smashing Dark Melee attacks should take down the rock guys pretty easily, even though you are mostly single target. Just be sure to take out the emanators as they drop; otherwise you'll do no noticable damage at all.

Other than that, I can't really make any suggestions; I don't know which other factions would be particularly weak against you.

I've had more than a few mistells, but only one that was particularly amusing/embarrassing/whatever.

I was on a TF team, and we discovered that most of the team was around my age (30-ish), and we got onto the topic of cartoons we used to watch as kids. In the middle of the conversation, someone asked a question in the local badge channel that I knew the answer to. A few moments later someone on the team mentioned a certian cartoon which I had particularly enjoyed, so I quoted the main character's catch phrase.

In the Badge channel.

I am the terror that flaps in the night!

It does nothing. It used to randomly try to stun yourself every 10 seconds, but they changed it to not affect players, to offset both the Stamina/Quick Recovery and the Speed Boost oddities. I think the change also resulted in it not stunning the target if you put it in an attack, and use it in PVP. Not sure on that though.

Yes, that will work.

This is specifically about the Widow version, but applies to the Pool Power version too.

Mids' shows that this power does not accept standard Recharge enhancements, but shows that it does benefit from global +Recharge, and from Recharge enhancement from Hami-O's and set IOs slotted in it. I've never taken any Vengeance powers before so I'm not sure if this is correct, or an oversight in Mids'. Can anyone confirm or deny that Vengeance benefits from +Recharge?

The clone is NOT always a palette reversal. I have a blaster that did the arc, and his evil double's costume was exactly the same, but his skin was dark red, instead of the normal caucasian skin tone that I had used.

However, what everyone has said is correct: The evil clone does have a different color set than you.
