Stone Daemon

I don't think incarnate powers are affected by buffs/debuffs a character has on them. I know that during a Rage crash, for instance, I still do full damage on my Pyro judgement.

It features quite a bit of PVP IOs. THB has a build he's playing with on test that he loves (and is working on collecting the ingredients on live), I think it's in one of his other threads.

But yes, most purple IOs excel in recharge, but there are other enhancements in which you can stack up some defense too.

Edit to add: Apparently I was thinking of his Monster PB build. His WS one only has a couple PVP ones (assuming this is it).

I told you we were doing Warshade Heaven first...

When we finished, I ended up broadcasting to fill the Moonfire teams for like 20 minutes, so I don't know where you were, but you weren't watching Pro Vig.

You know what, I just realized something. It's rather embarrassing. Strike Force SUNDAY. I don't work Sundays.

I don't know why I was thinking in weekday mode. Carry on, nothing to see here.

First of all, good choice on picking a kheld

1. With the upcoming changes to PB, it's really a matter of choice. Any preference I would give you would be biased towards warshades, because they are awesome right now. One thing to keep in mind, I guess, is that a shades pets are still superior to a peacebringers, and that you can have 3 of them out there full time, blasting away like little happy fluff-balls (whereas PB ones just fizzle out and explode).

2. It depends on how much you're willing to invest in your WS. If you plan on doing a moderately expensive build (or less) I recommend tri-form. If you plan on investing billions, human form. (From what I've heard, there is a certain threshold of money that you can throw at your WS in which human form becomes more effective overall. You'll have to ask someone else about that though.)

3. Recharge is really all you need, just enough to get perma hasten/eclipse. After that, any SL defense you can stack up (generally by way of kinetic combats) can only help.

4. Nope, you can be in your forms and still use them.

Yes. I accidently left on Nebulous form and attempted to eclipse/mire a x8 enemy mob. And then I went "Oh gee, I left that on " and turned off nebulous form. It did not end well.

I'd NEVER make that time. You may want to keep in mind, that is the same timeframe Santa had for his kheldian superteam that collapsed.

I don't even notice it after a while, lol.

Ah, but I am, now. One that is pretty. And dances.

Ah, right. I always forget what the WTF is--Moonfire then! I like that choice.

Once we're all formed up, we should pass out a questionnaire to find out how many heroes/shades of grey/villains we have, so that we have an idea what we can expect to pull off in the future.

I would be fine with running a Sutter.

I'd have to see about turning Lady vigilante, but yes, it indeed seems most of us are heroic.

Hmmmmmmmm... I don't know. I know Sept wants to do a co-op one so he can bring his shade, but that leaves us with only a few choices.

I was hoping to start early so we can show our fellow kheldians Warshade Heaven, if you're up to that, AIB?

I personally prefer dancing through the forms*, because it let's me conceptualize a gracefully spinning alien spinning through forms and laying waste to the foes around her. Granted, it's not really graceful in game, but I can squint and pretend!

I do wish I didn't have to worry about slotting, though. It's always a pain having to weigh the cost/benefit of moving a slot on a tri-form.


*I used to be a human form player myself, but it wasn't a monster build like TwoHeadedBoys, and it was just too slow paced for me.

Fixed for ya

Is there any issue you're having with it? I mean, it's not like 'shades are getting the overhaul peacebringers are, so I don't see what the problem is.

I guess, if you're just looking for opinions, I would recommend switching out invisibility for Vengeance. Even if you mostly solo, you have no need of invisibility, and Venge serves just as well as a LotG mule as well as being an awesome defense boost for when/if you team.

Aside from that, I don't see why you got Acrobatics (since you got so much inherent kb protection already, and the hold protection is meager at best), and I would steal some slots from maneuvers to place in the fluffies, so you can put some purple pet IOs in there. Preferably dam/rech and chance for build up.

I would switch out acro for Stygian return. Sure, maybe you're awesome and never die, whatever. The rez is just that good though.

I think that's it, though I probably missed some things.

Have you actually finished the last mission and zoned to Paragon City? Because if I remember correctly, the final decision (hero/villain) counts as #5.

Alternatively, you can turn off xp and there is another opportunity to earn a morality credit that you would normally miss due to outleveling it. Depends on what contacts you've done and what side you're in, but the last zone is generally the one I tend to outlevel.

What did you expect? You basically insulted anyone who ever unlocked and used an incarnate power. You can have a multi-billion dollar build, but as you have found, it doesn't fix holes in your defenses.

This. This is insulting. This may be how you feel, but if you speak it you should be prepared to defend your views from people who think you're full of it. Especially when you claim to have invested so much and are still having problems, but then mock others who have taken steps to fix those problems.

Ok.

And in case you didn't read it, I'm quoting the above from his guide and again stating--nothing will change unless your tactics/playstyle does.
