Depending on how eager you are to start the new character right away, you may want to wait for Issue 21 and BS brutes. I'm looking forward to rolling a BS/EA myself.

Broadsword and Katana both can add a fair amount of defense by parrying, which makes them pair nicely with resistance based sets. I personally would go BS/Dark.

I'm not a big fan of Fire Melee, so I'm gonna leave that for others to comment on.

They've said that people with high enough vet rewards will keep SG permissions, but they haven't said how much you need.

Also keep in mind that if the target has +damage, the -damage will cancel that out first. This is particularly relevant in PVP, where a target could have +damage from slotting, set bonuses, inspirations, team buffs and self buffs totaling 100% or more (Diminishing returns doesn't matter in this case - all the buffs and debuffs are added together BEFORE DR is applied).

Because you're Willpower, not Regeneration.

If you find yourself using that command often, try this:

Simplest solution to the problem with enemy phasing powers: Turn them into toggles.

If you don't want that guy attacking you, phase him out. When everything else is dead, instead of making the rest of the group useless for 3-4 minutes, just drop the toggle.

Since the "Average Wait" thing never seems to be accurate, would it be possible to remove that column, and replace it with a "Number in queue" column? Or just add both?

All the costume parts, emotes, auras, trail auras and costume change emotes are Certificates. That means that you buy them once, and get an email that can be redeemed by EVERY CHARACTER on your account, past, present and future. None of them are per character. However, none of them are "Global unlocks" either - they MUST be individually claimed on each character; buying them doesn't make them automatically available on all.

I have earned Flames of Prometheus on a Vigilante before. It is not alignment restricted at all.

IO recipes can be crafted and sent to other characters, or just mailed as recipes. Costume and temp power recipes can't be "pre-crafted". If it's not too difficult, I'd like to suggest adding a "Craft Voucher" button to all costume part and temp power recipes. Clicking this button would use the same salvage and Inf as a normal crafting, but instead of giving the resulting item to the crafter, it adds a one-use voucher to your mail, allowing you to claim it at a later date or on a different character. This would allow you to easily send costume parts to new alts, and would also allow someone to stockpile temps they like (No more "Crap! My Plasmatic Taser ran out! Damn! My Portable Workbench is still recharging, I can't make a new one!", just claim the next one from your mail between fights).

Questions? Comments? /signed?

Edit to add: These possibly should create vouchers that go into your normal global mail, or at least count towards your 20 email limit, just for balance issues. Having hundreds of Resuscitators, Backup Radios and Envenomed Daggers available might cause some balance issues, but not so much if there's a limit.

Last time there was a set of powerset proliferation, someone posted a how-to on copying a powerset from one AT to another in Mids'. I'd like to play around with a Broadsword brute, but I can't remember how to do this. Can anyone give me a hand?

Oh, that's what I do already. I'm talking about snatching up the cheap ones now, so that you've got a nice big stockpile for all the people who have just PLed a brand new SR tank or EA scrapper, and want 5 LotG's NAO, and are willing to pay a half billion each for them.

And honestly, doing the work to earn them myself when I can underpay someone else to do it for me just doesn't seem all that ebil.

The new Powerset Proliferation announcement is defense-heavy with Energy Aura for scrappers (and revamped for brutes), Super Reflexes for tanks, Ice Armor for stalkers and Broadsword and Katana for Brutes (I'm sure there's some people who slot Parry for defense, or at least with a LotG +rech).

So stock up now while it's still possible to find bargain prices, and get ready to make a killing off the people who don't want to get them the patient way!

Ctrl+Click setting a power to auto isn't a bind; it's hard coded into the program. The only way to stop it from setting powers to auto is to not do it. Sorry.
