beyeajus

that's my plan too. sap 'em dry

enjoy, they're awesome. Give Nin/Ta a try sometime, it's pretty chaotic.

My first MM that got to 50 was a Bot/DM. the best part is when the assault Bot gets his burn patch to go on top of your tar patch, and the bubbles that the protector bots produce mesh well with /DM's -tohit debuffs. the radius in Twilight Grasp is smaller for MM's though, but still a good heal anyway, once the melee till you die bug is fixed they'll stay right by your side in bodyguard mode to catch the heal with you.

I'll toss in a vote for Ninjas since no one has yet. got a Nin/TA in it's 20's right now, it's a lot of fun and you sail through your missions easily and quickly. Debuffs, controls, and the strongest single-target damage pets out of the primaries. WAA-CHAAA!!!

Well I'm coming up on my 18-month vet badge this month, pretty pumped for the Sammi Armor, and I was taking a moment to reflect on all the trials and errors, ups and downs, that my toons have been through in the past, even if much shorter a carrer than others.

*cracks open 40oz, dumps it out on the curb*

So I'm taking a moment to pay my respects to the ones I wish I didn't delete in the end, though it seemed like the best decision at the time, hindsight is always 20/20, lol. These are the ones that were deleted even despite the level they got to:

Armed N' Hammered-Merc/Poison Mastermind, deleted at lvl 45

This was at a point when /poison just didn't appeal to me. I found myself turning towards AE to get him up in levels because he couldn't get through a paper misson to save his life (literally). After a while the character slot was needed and he suddenly was expendable. A couple of months later, after reading guides on /Poison and brainstorming over it a bit, I found that /Poison isn't that bad, in fact it's pretty killer, and I'm going to try it again, maybe with a different pet set, but with some proper slotting he could have been awesome.

Nuke-leus-Rad/Rad corruptor, deleted at lvl 38

This one I really kick myself for, cause it was my 2nd toon created ever and had the 5-year party badge (jubilant?). That and well, it's Rad/Rad! awesome combo any way you slice it. I don't even know why I did it, I was just trying out EMP Pulse and loving it, but something just wasn't keeping the fire going and he once again lost to a new toon on the same slot.

Ming Li-DB/FA Brute, deleted at lvl 45

After the recent /FA changes I wish I had held onto her. She was a very old toon from the AE saga, never really played with, doorsat to 30-something, managed to actually play the game with her for another 15 levels but got pretty frustrated at the no KB protection getting me killed all the time, but this was before learning about -KB io's. Imagine being confused that there are no -KB training or DO/SO enhancements..../facepalm.

Undead circus-Necro/TA Mastermind, deleted at lvl 34

I wasn't sure about him from the beginning, but I bet he could have been pretty good. As much flack as /TA gets, I dig it on Ninjas, but was finding my zombies to fail before I even got through firing off all his arrows. I'm sure that if I had just stuck it out until lvl 35 and got Oil Slick Arrow he would have started coming around. I remember firing off Poison gas arrow and thinking "this move sucks it doesn't even DO anything!" Nowadays I'm realy enjoying the -20% DMG it delivers, keeps my ninjas alive longer. Whatta dumba**....

Scrapp Munkee-BS/SD Scrapper, deleted at lvl 32

This guy I remember being played a lot for a hero character of mine, since I'm very pro-villain and tend to gravitate towards those ATs. BS/SD is a great combo, and I was so close to getting Shield charge (old overpowered Shield Charge at that!) but he got deleted just because of the end drain problem, which could have been easily solved by a more patient Beyeajus that could have taken better time and thought to slot right. I'm actually rerolling that one, and I can see it being powerful down the road.

Those are the fallen, the misunderstood, the victims of my own impatience and dumbassery as a new player during my first year. Let's all give a shout out to the ones that got deleted, but looking back, you wish you never did.

I don't have it yet on my stalker, but on teams, I can see it being pretty cool.

the sparks that come out of mobs when you use any Ninja blade/Katana/Dual Blades attack is weird. I feel like I'm battling the puddies from power rangers.

yah that will work on a few levels actually, I think.

Interesting.

don't bother, I've been going for weeks and it doesn't help. i'm trying to slot chance for hold in my kids now, the cat, my boss, it's out of control.

looks good so far. I've never seen a badge hunter build before. This i'd like to see I don't think I get how certain powers would help with getting badges.

I'd still take stamina for now just because /DM is very end hungry.

For the heal to be most effective, the pets have to be near you, which means you will be in melee healing, might be dangerous at times. Smaller TG radius for MMs too.

Fluffy will help alot when you get him, Oni's char stacked with your Petrified Gaze stacked with Fluffy's Petrified Gaze will hold lots of high level stuff.

Tar Patch is awesome for Oni's Rain of fire, but the Genin may Crane kick mobs out of the patch.

Slot Achille's heel:chance for -Res in jounin to stack with Tar Patch's -Res.

that's all I can think of right now. I have a Nin/TA and a Bot/DM so I have some experience with both, just not together.

hey thanks! \m/ ^_^ \m/

I grabbed 5 of them for about 6 million each yesterday.

I'd say give Ninja Blade a try. I have a NB/Nin at lvl 42 and he's very unkillable. divine avalanche keeps you close to the softcap, most of the attacks do -DEF as a secondary effect, which allows you to slot Achille's heel: -RES in them, and it's just synergetic with the ninja theme.

the new shiny KM/ is really fun too, and has a good AoE move, plus the Tier 9 move will recharge your build up instantly if it crits randomly.

Anyone notice this yet? On a /TA user, when you deactivate ninja run, the toon will suddenly hold the Bow like a Katana. It's pretty funny.

That's all.
