I want to believe. Double fury boosted damage auras gives me a math boner. And I'm not sure if it'd even be all that good, but I want it anyway.

Electric/Energy, and run your disco stun aura all the time, and Lightning Rod as often as possible. The idea of "subtle secondaries" kind of got thrown out the door when you hide by covering yourself in a huge block of ice, or by covering yourself in electricity. Also, regenerating so hard you turn invisible. :toot:

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I want a Titan Weapons combiantion primary and secondary for Stalkers. Hide involves just standing the thing up vertically and pressing yourself against it. Assassin's Strike has a thirty second animation that involves three false starts before your character just caves the target's skull in.

Without even doing the math, I think it'd be safe to say that a spines/fire brute would push ss/fire out of its position of farming king. Damage auras already contribute more than any aoe when farming, I can't imagine how insane having 2 fury boosted ones would be.

I've had a Aquaman spoof outfit since like 2008. I adjusted it to the newer 'Outrageous!' Brave and the Bold design, which I prefer over the 1970 Superfriend look I've used before.

it gives you a permanent account-wide costume change power, just have no idea what costume until I log in and check. I got a Rulu-shin costume power from the circus contest and I really want the moving eyeball chest piece for other costumes!

ARGGGGH!
So I'm on this pub team, and it's going really well. We're a well-oiled Steamroller Of Death. You all know what's coming next:
"We should up the difficulty"

Next mission: SWARMING with Tsoo. 50 Red Ink Men in the first room alone. 3 different sorcerers and 2 ancient spirits. I counted all this because as the stalker, I was the only one not getting ganked to poo poo.
We managed to clear the first room through Zerg Rushes and the leader goes "how about we all leave, and I go turn down the difficulty?"
We do, he does.
It doesn't work.
So for whatever reason, they decide to go ahead and attempt to work their way to the glowie.
Now I'm not the only stalker on the team, there's two of us, but she's committed to The Stupid.
I've stealthed ahead, laughing at how much poo poo was in this map and got to the glowie room, when one of em teleported us all back together.
So I'm like "okay here's the room layout, I can get the glowie but I can NOT clear the room out too, if the other stalker acts as a distraction we could do it. Hell I'll even act as the distraction"
These fucks are still determined to take on the 150 enemies on floor 2!
They're dying by the butt loads, and the one time I actually try to go in and help, I rear end Strike one sorcerer before I wipe.

So now I've died, and I'm pissed. I use the Temp Rez power I have somehow, run away, hide, and go back to the glowie room.
I managed to actually get through the progress bar before things start attacking me and I die.
I pop a rez, wait to regen all the way. By that point, most of the room is on the other side and with their backs to me.
Holy poo poo, it's loving backstab time!
I get off ONE backstab, before some other chick teleports us all back down to the elevator!

I go running back up there in attempt to keep going (hell maybe I can get off another backstab on the sorcerer) and they see me and one-shot me.

I can't remember the last time I rage-quite City Of loving Heroes, but there ya go.

Maybe. Then again, Team Leader may not have known to select another mission then pick the mission they were trying to run, to reset it.

As for the TP thing, you should have turned on the Prompt Teleport option after the first time.

It's that magic phrase, "We're doing fine, let's up the difficulty!!!" Debt will surely follow.

Of course, debt is a hundred times less now than in the Old Times. Seriously.

The difficulty of a mission isn't determined by the difficulty setting, it's determined by the number of untanked bosses.

Sup Duckman, I was the other stalker. Our team sucked for a lot of reasons but drat if it wasn't fun as hell. Stick with the team next time instead of running off, you'll be more useful/have more fun.

If you stuck with us you'd get to see stuff like

- The controller using a single attack, then /e stancevillain2 for a few minutes before doing another attack

- The mastermind letting his bots chase after teleporting sorcerers, pulling groups from other rooms

- And me, missing 9/10 times I attack cause I'm too cheap to buy enhancements until I can get SOs :tipshat:


But come on man, stealthing a mission is so three years ago. And definitely turn on prompt team teleport under general options, it's a must when seemingly everyone has Assemble the Team.

It might be, I saw him switch missions when we exited and he claimed to get the 'Abandon mission progress' pop-up when he did it.

Water's STs aren't really that good to begin with, they're about the same cast time but 10% lower damage than everything else. The main gimmick is that it's an AOE monster. It's pretty much Archery 2.0 except with more utility. If you can slot -res procs in it then it might be pretty good ST anyway.

Metrohunter

It has -def as a secondary effect so Achille's Heel procs will fit in there nicely. Pair it with a -res debuffing secondary for extra joy too.

For blasters, it's nice if you're willing to sacrifice some damage for control. ST damage is blah, but it has 4 great AoEs, plenty of knockdown and -def, and a heal.
