Often times my inspiration for rolling a toon is watching what someone else can accomplish with a particular powerset combination.

Another way to figure it out is look at your roster. If Melee is non-existant, or sparse, chances are you may be able to restrain yourself from grabbing Titan Weapons or Street Justice asafp.

I would propose that the Potentials have access to the full test server, but that it is on a timer for say, 2 weeks before toons get wiped. That way they can have a taste, but are not sated by playing on test forever.

Melee is predominant in most of my roster on both of my accounts. I have never been able to lvl a blaster past 35ish.

That is why I recommend a traps toon. Traps playstyle is in the face(well, at the toes technically) of the mobs. It works best if you are the first one in the spawn debuffing the crap out of it. Sure, you could set up your traps, and then pull the mob/spawn to you, but why? Good luck playing that way on a team.

The best part for me? Mez protection in FFG. That small little coverage of mez was enough for me to get past the "but I only like melee" excuse.

Fire allowed me to satisfy my whorish need for aoe numbers.

Dechs, I am begining to think you have actually composed a few form letters in order to streamline marketing the MFing Warshade..

Have you ever tried to sell a 50+ enhancement? Doubt they wil be sellable unless through chat/forums etc.

Nope. New material these days come as boosters for the most part. If I dont like what in the booster, I dont get it. Anything that has been released lately has been incarnate or praetorian content that going rogue paid for

I didnt like the red kool-aid you gave me for free last summer. This summer, I see you are giving free purple kool-aid and I just want you to know that I expect better this time.

Uhm... Good? Thank you for ensuring my flights through port oaks is girder free. Reporting broken stuff is what you are supposed to do when you are invited to a beta. Guess what? I paid my rent! I also made sure my kids were fed before I drank away all the money. I am mighty proud of me!

You mean like the prestige sprints, old zones, and reskinned mobs? Pretty sure I prefer the work that has been done lately. You get em tiger. You can do it without sounding entitled.

There can be only one, and I havent seen the Devs say we were getting it.

The game has been getting progressively easier and easier for awhile now. Half the work on your xp and you need to pay or use up your points for it? Whatever. Already in the game, just need to stay logged off on a toon for a bit.

Keep the badges, costume parts, aura's and what not. I will gladly take the auction house slash command though. The vault doesn't sound so bad either.

No kidding. The rest of us have had to pay for the privilege to break the game since April 2004. The nerve.

Positron will most likely offer you employment for this idea, as long as you sign the idea off to him.

Wow. Entitled much? Please remember your $15.00 a month is for access to the servers. All this stuff you get free as long as you stay subscribed. Hell, I would have access to most of it if I went premium.

Sounds an awfull lot like "**** you and your free stuff, I want other free stuff, and it better be good free stuff or I'll ***** and moan."

Jesus H Christ.

Dude, just because it is possible to farm with a build, does not make it a farmer. Much like the toon the OP gave in his post of a fire/kin troller.

You can farm with just about anything. even an Ice/storm troller I read recently.

As for the topic. Bot/traps or a bots/storm provides a decent amount of orange floaties. My favorite toon I run on these days, a fire/traps Corr is unreal in what it can do, and how many different ways to do it.

An elec/dark brute or scrapper can throw out some decent numbers although things start to break down for me at +3/8 or so. Elec doesnt suit me well. The animations are too long and sometimes dark regen needs to fire NOW.

*A Fire/SD scrapper throws out crazy damage.

I would be slightly less excited if tankers got spines before brutes.

Provoke is in no way a substitute for a taunt aura.

Now I have a face to go with the posts. Thanks. I think...

That depends, what level am I and what is the server time?

I understand what you are saying, and I say spines will have no difficulties maintaining fury. By the time any amount of -recharge affects the mob, it should be long dead. If you are talking bosses, how much fury are you maintaining off a single mob these days? Never just fight one boss? I'm sure the aggro cap of bosses will be able to keep my fury bar up just fine.

You can turn quills off. Without quills running you are unlikely to notice a change in the mobs recharge.

The mobs cowering in fear produce how many tohit checks again?

Mostly correcting the idea that you need to get hit to generate fury.

That being said, I would be fine with spines ported with the -rech.

Fury is generated by tohit checks made by you, and to you. If -recharge has to go, why not take cloak of fear from dark brutes.

It matters not.

You had the situation in hand, no need for me to parrot you.

That happens when you target a player who has you targeted. Part of the target through player system. I always find it reassuring when I am checking peoples info and I see see myself targeted. I like to assume they are doing the same thing in preperation of what to expect from people during the tf. I like to think it shows a bit of situational awareness.

No, No it does not. If my spines/fire had a taunt aura, I dont think I would ever log onto something else.

Wouldn't one expect to see the popularity of blasters drop as they reach higher levels? Not have everything fine from 1-49 then at lvl 50, the popularity drops, and really, not that signifigantly all things considered.

That is an excellent and logical explanation. In A_F's case though is the lack of incentive the painful part, or is it that he truly believes that blasters are superfluous and bring nothing to a team that other AT's can replicate just as easily as well as have secondary roles.

Everyone I know loves generating big floating numbers. I really wish the AT suited me, it just doesn't.
