Pff. Whatever.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s what&#8217;s up with CoX stuff:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<b>Pummelcite:<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve wanted the Hurl Boulder power on a tank for several months BEFORE I got the game &#8212; it&#8217;s the closest thing we&#8217;ll probably ever see to a tank being able to pick up car and toss it.<br \/>\nPumm got to level 30, where I&#8217;d decided he would be able to get that power&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd I didn&#8217;t get it.  Got Build Up instead&#8230; figure it&#8217;ll pay off more in the long run.<br \/>\nOf note:<br \/>\n&#8211; 2 levels to Granite Armor.<br \/>\n&#8211; Ran the Hess TF.<br \/>\n&#8211; Pumm&#8217;s the highest prestige-earner in the Storm Knights.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Bear Claws<\/b> (23)<br \/>\nCannot wait for the i7 reanimations on the claw attacks. I&#8217;ve used them on test and they&#8217;re verah nice.  In the &#8216;real&#8217; game, I&#8217;m skipping one of my good attacks cuz it&#8217;s so. damn. slow.<br \/>\n&#8211; Bear is the highest prestige earner in the Hostess Heroes, which is sort of like having the best covenience store job among all your slacker friends.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Kethos<\/b> (26)<br \/>\nDinged 25 and 26 and almost to 27.  Got that Dark Melee version of Fulcrum Shift (I know that&#8217;s not what it is, except it is)&#8230; it&#8217;s very cool.  Thinking that his ding to 27 and the i7 respec will coincide closely enough that I&#8217;ll be able to respec, sell all his enhancements, and buy back into 30&#8217;s.  Pondering a rebuild that gets him stamina sooner.<br \/>\nReally, I need to sit down with hero planner and seriously figure out a build for him.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8212; I can solo on this one fine, but the end problems I have in groups are&#8230; troublesome.<br \/>\nTried the villain respec with Kethos.  Interesting missions &#8212; friggin&#8217; thing looks&#8230; very hard.  PuG I was in did not finish it.<br \/>\nRan with alot of Robotics MM&#8217;s this weekend&#8230; it&#8217;s impressive when they&#8217;re five or so on the team&#8230; and laggy as hell, but impressive.<br \/>\nLater, was on a team with three DM\/* Brutes&#8230; you know what?  A high concentration of ANY particular AT is pretty damned impressive.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Damosel Distress<\/b><br \/>\nHow do you adjust your play with a Dom so you remember that you&#8217;re all blaster-squishy?<br \/>\nGet an assault set you really really associate with blasters.<br \/>\nIntroducing DD: Grav\/Energy Assault Dominator, combining the powers of my two first toons in the game (Zee Gee and Hang Time).  Energy and Grav don&#8217;t interfere with one another, and both focus on single target attacks early on, which is, I think, how Dom&#8217;s can hold onto whatever slim margin of survivability they have.<br \/>\nSo far, pretty fun and playable.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Dolmen<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;d like to run the first villain Strike Force with him, but I&#8217;d like it to go well, which means someone who can inviso-port.  Hmm. It&#8217;s a puzzler.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>All that said, likely I won&#8217;t be on til next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No face to face gaming, due to people &#8216;having a life&#8217;.
