  1. I have a mace/shield No Budget build I haven't been particularlly happy with.

    I guess I will save and hold out for Titan Weapons.

    I wouldn't call them loyal.

    They are ditching thier home servers in some xenophobic exodus to get away from what they percieve as the "Undesirable" FTP community.

    Its the exact opposite of what loyalty means to me.

    If I wrote it, after all the epic battles, the hinting, the deaths of iconic heroes and villians alike, the defeat of he rikti and nemesis etc....

    You will finally confront the Coming storm, and it would be a tiny grey kitten.
  4. Elite
    Hubris
    Exclusion
    Xenophobia

    That basically sums up my feelings about it.

    3. Both 1. and 2.
    They better not leave villian side out, or throw together a cheap imitation.

    EVIL PLAYERS ARE PEOPLE/MUTANTS/ROBOTS TOO!
  6. Because my Traps/ice has 60% ranged def, 50% def to melee/Aoe, 45% to all types, Pema hasten, AND FORCE OF NATURE.

    Good luck doing all that on a Corruptor.
  7. I am not so sure the AE Farmed recipies market crash is real...

    I made 700million imfamy last night while running my level 42 (now 45) Mace/SD/(now MU) last night.

    YMMV though, I had some spectacular rolls last night.
  8. My Elec/Earth/Mace dom is a joy.

    SLE soft cap, Permahasten/domination, does excellent Single target damage and OK aoe.

    I haven't had a problem with too much agro, and even if that should occur, I have PFF to fall back on!

    Well mine is deeply softcapped to all positions I would probably do ok. :P
  10. Listen to the zombie, Healing bubbles will be all the rage, and you can feel like the special little gem you want to be.

    My global is @Fantacy

    Edit: I'll go a bit more and bet you 1bil I can out live you on a map we agree on!
    Can I get my Traps/Ice defender in on this?

    Lets pick Mezzing Mobs too, no Incarnate powers usable as well.

    Traps

    Triage Beacon: Reduce its recharge to 90 seconds so that it can be kept up at all times and so that, with recharge enhancements, the user can replace it whenever the group moves. The pet should not be allowed to stack - like Voltaic Sentinel, resummoning it would cause the previous one to die.
    I didn't read the rest of the post, or the rest of the thread:

    NO THANK YOU.
    My trapper can double stack Triage, and I perfer it to stay that way.

    THAT IS ALL.
  13. I still think its lame there is no Vangard Mace.

    It doesn't have to be all glowy tech like. Just make a model and put glowing parts on it. Geeze.

    SM/FA Concepts?

    Flaming bag of _______ left on the porch of Freedom, Villiany, people yo udon't like!



    Or you could go with the demon thing, that is always popular.
  15. Using a lethal version of the most popular farm, I am self PLing my Mace/Shield Defense toon in order to get invader done on a couple of alts too.

    In 3 days maybe 2 hours a day farming (not including the breaks to set up the relogging on the mayhem missions, and selling ticket rolls) I have gotten to level 30.

    And I am no where near as fast/easy as a Fire armor on a Fire map would be.
  16. You can't go wrong with any of the primaries except Energy melee.

    Avoid Energy melee, and you just need to pick a set that fits your playstyle.
    Fire Armor will allow any primary combo to be a great all rounder, and decent to maximized farmer if you lean that way.
  17. One thing your SO results got me wondering:

    Is a Mace/ Claws/ Elec/ DB/ Axe/ Fire better than SS/ FA for farming at SO only levels of build?

    I would guess yes, as they all have more aoes they can leverage with slower recharge times.
  18. IMO, its all about the footstomp.

    That friggin AOE is better than any other melee sets AOE suite combined.

    Here's how my brain translated his post:

    "Posting here to keep tabs on this. I would love to see the Original Poster (take) footstomp taken down a peg... (by proving claws > SS) But i doubt it will happen."

    Where you read it as "I would love to see the OverPowered footstomp nerfed."

    I don't want footstomp to get nerfed. It's SS's only damaging aoe. It doesn't deserve nerfing at all.
    Footstomp won't be nerfed. Its a sacred Cow at this point in the games life.

    Rooting for Bill to take it down a peg though!
    But its doubtful. Footstomp is just TOO good at that recharge, animation time and radius.

There is alot of Math that I don't quite understand with defenses and such but I would love to look at it and build something off of what I learn.

    Thanks in advance.
    Dude look in this thread, there are some decent builds right here.
  21. Posting here to keep tabs on this.

    But i doubt it will happen.

    If you find a build you like and it looks good on paper, then roll it. I just got my 8th level 50 last night. Of the 8, I can say that only one of them was done partly due to the influence of the forum and that was mostly in finding what pairs well with the primary which I wanted to try out since I was so clueless about it. Two of my next 50s will be an Ice tank, which is considered the red headed stepchild of tank armor sets these days and a Dark/stone tank, which is widely know for significant end issues. One of my favorite ATs to play right now still gets "lol stalkers" comments. Whatever. I'm having fun.

    OMG you still play stalkers?

    LOL!

    Actually its Foot Stomp that is out of bounds, it should have a 10ft radius.
  24. Whatever you do please don't screw over villian side like usual.
