    good points, would u say go for soft capping just melee or, melee and what else? usually people say melee and range but i was thinking, if youre tanking and u go behind a corner when u will, you wont have to worry about range as much as aoe. never could decide which one other than melee would be more important to soft cap.

    this whole post is just proof that the DEVs cant do anything in this game that will make us all happy. they give us a free gift and we say "oh umm, you couldnt get me something better?" sad sad sad

    good points both of you. i agree with the recharge ill be able to work in from the easy soft capping, ill be doing alot of damage but i doubt as much as a brutes. think ill just stick to the brute though. seeing as the defense debuff problem was my main focus, theres nothing i can do to aviod that.

    hey all, i have a lvl 50 ss/sd brute and i like it but the survivability is ehh. my defense gets debuffed really easily it seems and when i do get hit, it hurts bad. looking at the tank numbers of the same build i thought to myself wow. soft capping all postionals is wayyy easier and the resistance is alot better too. i love the damage output of my brute though so im wondering, does anyone have a tank and brute and has compared them? is the damage output on a brute way higher or is the damage on a tank worth rerolling my toon for? these are the 2 builds i made. the brute one is my current brutes build and the tank one is what i might make if i do reroll as a tank.

    any input you can offer is greatly appreciated. only think i wont do is slot purples :b

    hi all, havent been playing much lately and have a few question fors u all.

    1)if i have a hero and make them a vigilante after completing a morality arch, will i get hero merits or villian merits or neither?

    2)if a hero becomes a villian, then a hero again, do they gets hero merits or are they unable to because they switched alignements to a villian before?

    3)if a villian becomes a full on hero, are they able to get hero merits or unable to since they started as a villian?

    i know u get the hero or villian merits for completing morality mishs but was unsure about the 3 questions above. paragonwiki.com is gimped in my area i guess for now and i wont be able to really play for another week. didnt wanna make my toons go "in the middle" or switch sides completely if the option of gettin hero or villian merits werent going to be available for doing certain mishs. thanks in advanced all !

    what kinda brute is he running? if its /fire, /dark or /ele, maybe a buffer that can give +defense to your friend since both those builds have resistance only (dark has some defense) or a kinectic so u can give ur friend speed boost ( +recov). a coruptor would work good here and u can kill from range and buff

    if the brute your friend is rolling does alot of single target damage maybe get a toon that does alot of aoe like a dominator.

    usually a toon thats not melee based is what i see people do when teamin with a brute as a duo.

    for my gf's broad sword/shield scrapper i duo with her on my earth/storm controller because i do alot of debuffs and aoe damage, so it makes the attacks she deals out stronger.

    oh and welcome back to the game !!!!
  8. random_person
    ahhh ok, ty for the info, didnt know it was changed.

    hey all, im tryin to set alot of ambushes for the map "unique maps/outdoor maps/city map 3". i have 3 destructible objects with 3 ambushes attached to each of them. (one when the object is at 3/4 life, 1/2 life and 1/4). so, i tried to add more destructible objects so i can have more ambushes attached to them ( since this map says it can have 50 ambushes total) but it gives me an error saying that the max allowed ambushes for this mission is 3. why is that? i tried adding a captive to allow more ambushes but nothing. any ideas how i can add more?

    my story doesnt seem as extreme with so little ambushes, lol. thanks in advanced.
  10. random_person
    i had 2 character slots empty and ready for GR for about 2 to 3 weeks, then when i logged in last night they all were gone, glad to know im not the only one having this issue.
  11. random_person
    hey all, just wanted to know which slots are removed from us when we mal / exmp in lvl? is it the slots on the right or left? im asking because i like using numnia +regen +recov and i usually slot all my recipes like that to the far left, thinkin the ones on right are lost when i go down in lvl. i also tend to slot anything that has endur red in it to the left too so i have as less endur issues as i can while mal'd down. thanks in advanced
  12. random_person
    this is a build i made, i havent tried it out yet but looks promising. aoe is near the soft cap but not there but, melee and range are. the regen is decent, recovery / endur drain pretty good, awesome damage bonus too. i didnt go with patron powers cause well, i usually only go with it for concept :b

    hi all, does anyone know the duration of snow storm from storm summoning? i have an earth/storm troller and i was tryin to decide on which to pick, quicksand or snow storm. i like snow storms -rech but, per mids the duration is only .75s is this true? in game it doesnt say the duration unless i missed i somewhere. i think im leaning more towards quicksand because of the -def, though i wish it have -rech instead of just slow. thanks in advanced all
  15. random_person
    does anyone have a list of how i should set my settings with graphics to match pre i17 specs? every single time no matter what settin i have my graphics on causes a crash when i log off. i cant even get in the game atm w/ safe mode. thanks

    make sure to add the updater to your exceptions in any virus protection programs you have. also, disabling then reenabling my internet connection tends to work as well as restarting my router

    hi all, ive been having trouble making a SS/SD brute build. its so hard to get all the postional defenses soft capped while not forgetting about gettin good endur recov, regen, max hp, and dam+. this is the best build ive come up with and it really sucks i had to go with this many blessing of the zhypher sets to make it work but i had too.
    tanks verison of SD is slightly higher in numbers so reaching the soft cap is wayyy easier.

    im pretty happy with the build i just didnt wanna slot any purple recipes, period. would i be able to get to around lets say 40% aoe defense in order to work heal self in and not struggle with survivablity? melee and range are the most important and with a build lacking a heal and relying on defense, id really like to work a heal in. any suggestions you can give are greatly appreciated, ive been workin on a build on this for a long time and through trial and error, this is the best ive got and just wanna start slottin the damn toon, lol.

    hmmm, well i just thought it was weird that it only happens during base editing...
  21. random_person
    hi all, ive been noticing alot of lag when i edit my base ( add an item mainly ). the rest of the game is fine, no lag at all on max settings but, even with me lowering graphics to minimum while editing the base, i get lag. ill pick an item i want to place down and when i click / drag it, the game freezes for bout 5 seconds or more, then the items appears where i want it. its frustrating because it is making my editing take a really long time. any ideas?

    comp specs:
    windows home edition
    intel core2 duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33ghz
    2.33 ghz, 2gb or ram
    nvidia Geforce 8600 GT


    p.s: my comp ONLY freezes up when editing the base, nothing else at all in game or out.

    hi all, ive been noticing alot of lag when i edit my base ( add an item mainly ). the rest of the game is fine, no lag at all on max settings but, even with me lowering graphics to minimum while editing the base, i get lag. ill pick an item i want to place down and when i click / drag it, the game freezes for bout 5 seconds or more, then the items appears where i want it. its frustrating because it is making my editing take a really long time. any ideas?

    comp specs:
    windows home edition
    intel core2 duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33ghz
    2.33 ghz, 2gb or ram
    nvidia Geforce 8600 GT


    p.s: my comp ONLY freezes up when editing the base, nothing else at all in game or out.

    what do u all think, is it necessary to slot the numnia rare in a wp/ tank who is fully io'd out? i was thinking yes for the low lvl tfs but not so sure for anthing else. i might be picking up physical perfection for energy torrent and i could really give this rare to a toon who would really need it. thanks it advanced all
