It's really hard to raise the stakes on The Revolting Flayed without just becoming a blood elemental

it's me, I'm the one who got The Flayed Man on indom and I went a much more subtle direction with it:


something about the full-body bandages with no eyeholes really adds to the horror, I think. also the crisp white suit.

also: playing a heal-based support for you guys is a real loving drain on my sanity, lol. please be kind to your hapless backup by paying attention to your surroundings

Yeah I do the bandages on my default costume. But my third one had to really kick up the gore, so featureless meat face is where we are.

As long as we're spitballing powersets, I would kill to have an arcane powerset based on all the sentient spell stuff from Night Ward.

Honestly I like the idea of "wizard gives up Magic for fancy gadgets from catalogue" a lot more than I do the idea of playing a robot MM. But robots and a beam rifle make that concept more real than anything else I can think of.

If someone wants Sharper Mage, let me know and I'll delete 'cause I seriously don't care about the character. I've already moved on and made Shark Dressed Man.

I really want new Blaster primary sets based on two things from other ATs:
  • The animal-related blasts Masterminds get with the Beasts set, like throwing a swarm of bugs or siccing a flock of ravens on enemies. I loving love that raven animation.
  • The shuriken throws in the Dominator's Martial Assault secondary set. Those animations own and I want a ninja-focused Blaster set that uses them.

It drives me a little crazy because savage attacks in every class that uses them still have the same stack mechanic, but blaster is far and away the best class to make use of it barring the existing savage melee classes. They'd certainly get more mileage out of it than putting it on a dominator secondary set.

Anyone got a notion of how to place a custom corpse in an architect mission? I need the player to find a specific someone instead of a bodybag if at all possible. I tried setting them as an ally who remains in the Unconscious animation but they occasionally get up anyway and gently caress up the whole vibe.

Any opinions about Savage Assault as a dominator set? I've shied away from it because the Blood Craze stacks seem real unlikely to get used as a dominator, but I'm curious whether it works out ignoring the gimmick.

As a blaster, should I be getting Ion Judgment instead of Void Judgment for the sake of having a more distant AOE?

I just kinda inherently took Void Judgment because that sounds badass.

I don't know anything about anything but it's slightly disappointing that blasters best incarnate options seem to be damage oriented, other than with Interface. I guess that matters for trials, but it'd be neat to get more tools and tricks and nuance rather than just big numbers.

Anyone able to give me some pointers on where I oughtta go with this 50 respec? Here's roughly what I'm looking at. Ignore the slot order. I'll do that with a mind toward exemplaring later



In particular, I've got a few powers that I'm not super wild about but feel like I have to pick just to advance. Telekinetic Blast and Aging Touch have never been part of my rotation and I've never had problems, but I've found all the yellowed powers in the main two trees to be real underwhelming, and I'm not sure putting fancy expensive toys in them would save it. At least those two would let me diversify my damage types slightly so I have more options against robots.

Am I making any great big mistakes I don't realize? I feel like I have about a billion options on a build that basically has full uptime on its bread and butter blasts and/or insta-snipes. Most of the click powers after that feel like bells and whistles that don't really get used.

It was weird how the Rogue Isles were simultaneously this oppressive totalitarian state but also a Randian hellhole. Like Recluse is encouraging his citizens to become villains, but that would mean killing his cops and robbing his banks.

what's y'alls favorite ranged/blaster (or whatever) powerset? I want something that is fun and flashy but also powerful enough for good solo, I guess?

my first character bird justice is lvl 26 now. street justice/elec brute. he's pretty fun but a bit squishy. i realize a blaster or whatever is probably going to be a lot squishier, but I was hoping that they could maybe solo better due to the damage and ranged ability? I don't know.

I took a psi/time blaster to Incarnate. Psi feels kind of like a fifth wheel in large group content because your AOE is horrible, but because you have a damage type that is rarely resisted and it comes with debuffs built in, it's actually plenty good at soloing. Between having an Aim in your primary and a Build Up in secondary, you can weave instant snipes into your combat rotation, which makes you extremely effective at cutting down small groups like you'd find in solo content. Time has some psi damage punches, good single-target control, and Time Lord and Temporal Healing are some of the best powers a blaster can get in a secondary set.

That said, I wouldn't actually put psi and time together having played them to 50, because you end up wanting to skip more time powers than you might otherwise because you're already heavy on psi damage. Both sets also have several control powers and you just won't realistically be able to make use of more than a few. I think they're both great power sets but if I had to start my character over, I would make him psi/rad, or rad/time.

I made an ice/time blaster last night and, incredibly, the name Glacier wasn't taken, so yoink. But I'm absolutely dying trying to come up with a good spandex costume. Arctic is a little too noisy and precious and cold colors don't say "heroic dynamism" to me. At the moment he's just a blue-skinned pretty boy in winter clothes. Anyone got any good spandex ideas/concepts to work with?

Is there no way to re-run the entirety of Max's DA arc without getting someone else who hasn't done it? It's structured kind of weird where you break out some of his boys to form a team to attack a base, but at any time you can instead go do the mission with as few as zero allies. When you go back to re-run it in Ouro, though, you start with a mission chosen and I don't see any way to just go run the big mission itself.

I'm looking at the Ouro listing now, and Max's arc is split into 4 separate arcs - the three 'rescue' missions and the last one. You're looking for The End of Vengeance (Dark Astoria, Ch. 3), number 22.14.



Yeah, but if you start that, you begin with allies. I was hoping to run it without any. It's not a big deal, as I'm pretty sure there's no badge associated with it. Just thought it'd be neat to do.
