    I know that is your opinion, but I have to, respectfully, disagree. I have Scoliosis, and I don't look like that when I stand around idle.

    However, when I've been participating in live action roleplaying, my combat stance was very much like the Ninja Run idle stance. Gave me a smaller strike zone I could hide behind my shield (I stand 6'3" and my shield was about 2'6" tall) and my attack vectors were fairly unpredictable.

    I never thought about it, why take Stamina? I'm never in human form unless tping some slow/lost person to us.
    The fly portion was why I took it. I mean, really. TPing in the Shard is not fun, even though I do like Teleport. Fly is my most taken travel power, followed by Teleport. I think I have maybe 2 characters with Super Jump and possibly 4 with Super Speed. In fact, I think I have more characters without a travel power at all than those with Super Speed and Super Jump combined.

    As for Stamina, I have taken it on about 4 characters. I have never seen the need for it. Yes, it does make fighting less irksome at times with its +recovery. However, I don't need it to play my characters.

    And, I tend to play my Warshade in human form most of the time. I have more options that way.

    The real question is why do people insist on taking those spawns on when they're playing characters poorly suited for it?

    There's been several complaints of "but what if I'm on a character that can't take out the ghost fast enough?" Don't take them on. Get the zone badge, save the bank and get the hell out of there. Why subject yourself to more annoyance than you have to?
    Masochism?

    True. I usually run in human form, except when the tank, for some reason, is in trouble. Then I switch to Dwarf.

    However, Stygian Circle doesn't help when you're up against things like Ghosts, Rikti Drones, and everything else that doesn't leave a corpse behind. And Eclipse doesn't have a fast enough recharge for me to use it as an Endurance recovery tool.

    Fortunately, we have an Empathy Defender on the team that hits us with RA during prolonged fights.

    Yes. Well, my axe won't break as easily as yours.

    Plus, the blade is made from old battleship armor (armour for those from across the pond) and the things about 5 feet in length. Not the blade, the entire thing. Its rather intimidating to people who don't know me.

    Yes. Although, it is, technically, not an axe. Most people, that know no better, call it one. So, I refrain from making their heads hurt *cough* with an explanation, and just let it go at that.

    I did that with my Warshade. I picked it at level 50 because it was the only power left that I didn't want the least. Also, I did not pick up any Pool Powers. That's right. A Warshade without Stamina. He's so gimp. That's why he's the secondary, to an Ice/Axe, tank for the team he usually runs with.


    Bring on the neg rep for not taking Stamina....or Nova...

    I would rather use my axe to hax the CD.

    That would be because of the defense debuff resistance?

    Opps, the cake is a lie. How about Pie?

    Its 1+1 and it equals either 3 or 11, depending on how you decide to look at it.

    I guess that makes me a part of the resistance?

    I can think of a few.

    Seems the media bashed Israel a couple of years ago because They fired back at people lobbing missiles at them from Lebanon. Unfortunately, those people lobbing missiles were hiding among the "innocent" citizens and near schools. It became a choice between two evils. Which was worse, allowing people to continue to lob missiles across the border killing Israelis, or take out the ones firing the missiles, and possibly innocent civilians in the process (called collateral damage).

    To clarify, Accuracy is a multiplier to to-hit. a To-hit buff is additive to your to-hit.

    a +10% Accuracy modifier and a +10 to-hit buff would supply you with a (1+0.1x(0.75+0.1)) <or 93.5> chance of hitting. minus any to-hit/accuracy debuffs to you, and defense that the opponent has to your attack type/position.

    So much suck

    A thread of this title created by a person that uses the name that the OP uses, just shouldn't be allowed...

    Hey, you leave Happy Pirate Zathros out of this! Its not his fault he used to be a Pirates of the Caribbean Animatronic that was struck by a magic lightning bolt and tried to hijack a ship in long beach, then got taken to the Zig after being caught.

    There are no non-"high click" ATs. There are "high click" and non-"high click" power-sets though. Some power-sets require the player to pay more attention to whats happening with the character than others. You just happened to choose one of them.

    The End.
    I did have that happen once to me. Fortunately, I ran one guy really far away from the sub, so he survived the Subbing. Then he got shot. poor *******.

    Its usually times that like that prompt me to turn the game off and do something else.

    All the old save game editors still work with it too. Granted, I don't cheat too much, just some extra money to get me started and making my Rookie soldiers a little more skilled. Not superhuman, just enough they survive more than one mission
    What I hated was getting alien grenaded just as I was deploying. Half the group gone on turn 3. Then, of course, Oscar goes berserk and kills the other half.

    Yet, I could still manage to pull off a "successful" mission, half the time, with my lone rookie that survived the alien grenade and Oscar. Granted, that lone rookie usually turns out to be Oscar.

    You mean, this isn't high school all over again?

    I treat Rep (+ and -) the same way I did most of my fellow students in high school. I ignore the rep. although, some of the comments can be humorous...when comments are actually left.
