    Which Corruptor?

    Ice/kin

    Let's you build for defence as recharge and damage are insane out of the box. Your heal is up every 10 seconds or so, so regen isnt as much an issue. Even without all that, scourging FS'd blizzard is enough of a reason.

    Is that right after "Never get into a land war in China" and "Never bet against a Sicilian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE"?

    As an aside, I love babelfish.

    I am not quite cynical enough to believe it was designed this way so they could eventually introduce a money grab.

    Even if it was, I don't really care. I would rather drop points on this than an non combat pet, no matter how many legs it has.
  6. I think the token is balanced by the fact that you can only change to the polar extreme of either alignment as well. Would I like to instantly change to a vigilante or rogue so I can run all content? Sure. But I understand why it is designed as is.
  7. They are introducing an alignment change token to the paragon market. It is definitely an option I will use.

    Unfortunately, that means you will need to decide whether you are willing to pay for the option, or taking the long route and dealing with cool down periods.

    Needless to say, they wont get rid of the cool down because they have found a way to make us pay for the convenience.

    Now if it is because you love the missions so much that you just can't get enough of them, and want to run 40 of them in a row, you will still be sol.

    Breathe man.

    Rework them with a few good arcs and rewards and it'll be golden
    Thing is, faultline is dead. Even with the story. The only reason why RWZ is used at all is ship raids are good for shards and vmerits, and even then, it is what, twice a week a raid is put together on the smaller servers... RWZ is also a good zone for red and blue to mix.

    I don't actually want them to kill it. I like my +8 spawns. I am just saying that if they did change the ssk system back, I would likely go back to hazard zone hunting, because getting pads was a pita. Be way easier these days though what with free accounts and all.
  10. Make them like RWZ, give the zone some content, and some sort of event that is relevent across a wide lvl range.

    And kill the ssk system. Being able to run solo missions set for 8 people without padding is the only reason I no longer hunt hazard zones solo. With that change, they killed street sweeping for me once and for all.

    The kicker is, it still probably wouldn't change much. They have always been empty ever since mission xp bonus was introduced.
  11. If folks can dial it down a notch, I think Mauk2 was recommending the op to practice jousting the av with melee attacks on apex/tin Mage where said practice may go smoother than fighting a +6 AV. I think he is recommending that so the op doesn't have to worry about taking ranged attacks period, which is definitely pertinent to the thread.

    Odd bug. At least stormies get gale to kick the spawn out of the patch if they want.

    The best thing about traps is there are 5 ways to start a a fight for each type of fight.

    To be honest, I am at a point now where I rarely use seekers or even trip mine anymore. I know it is kind of crazy, but fire/ pumps out so much damage that I rarely need to throw down a mine. Would never consider dropping it on my bots/traps though.

    Seekers is really great while you are leveling up, or if you are approaching a nasty spawn. I very rarely lay down a death field anymore, traps is much more interesting if you time it to hit the spawn just after the tank, or if you dont have a tank, to be the first to hit the spawn. My trapper is much more surviveable than my spines/fire scrapper, and it doesnt care what spawns it is wading into.

    I am very thankfull the playstyle is not for everyone, and that no matter how many times you tell people to just walk into the spawn and toe trap, they feel you need to set up a bunch of traps and pull. Otherwise the set would definately be looked at by the devs.

    Slotting in my case is usually for to-hit debuff. I prefer a 4 slotted Could Senses.
    If by lay traps in the path they will be heading you mean follow the seekers into the spawn as soon as they have aggroed and drop your traps at their feet, we play the same way.

    Chapter 7: Ms. Liberty single-handedly burns down Grandville, castrates Darren Wade, then kicks Rularuu's a** just to be sure.
    The choose your own adventure version of chapter 7 could have her hanging it all up to write and perform country music.

    Just sharing great info.
    Huh, TIL.

  18. There are a few purple recipes that are hovering around eight hundred million for the impatient. There are a few of the pvp IO's that range from one to over two billion.

    Discuss? Really? You would expect Discussion over It is with great sadness...

    Just to confirm everyone knows Who will die? is a signature story arc and not some paragon studios internal death pool.

    This is possibly the oddest thought process I have encountered lately.

    "Black Pebble died today in a freak gasoline fight accident. Discuss."
  22. Don't worry devs, it isn't ruined for me. I am very excited to see how he goes.
