Gotta tell yah, defense changes or not, I KNOW when those FF shields aren&#8217;t there.  I mean, I *feel* it.<br \/>\nHT&#8217;s got a lot of AV things, and Scorpia-player wants to get her back in running missions, so I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be around and about.<br \/>\n<b>Hype and Syn<\/b> dinged 47 (bringing them even, I should mention, with Scorpia).  Haven&#8217;t done a ton with them, mission-wise, since then.  We&#8217;ve got two level 40-45 contacts who are still giving us stuff, so with GREAT restraint, we aren&#8217;t getting into the Maria Jenkins Praetorian arc yet, even though it&#8217;s the key to getting Portal Jockey.<br \/>\nTheir RP stuff has been great.  Love playing these guys.<br \/>\n<b>Epitaph<\/b>&#8230;<br \/>\nMAN I&#8217;ve got some stuff to write for him. Need to get on with doing it.<br \/>\nStill 18. Still really want Stamina. Still love the gameplay with him, and I&#8217;m liking the RP with him even more.<br \/>\nMoved <b>Pummelcite<\/b>, Lukacs Tolbathy, over to Champion and got him into the Storm Knights.  Stone&#8217;s a very interesting armor set &#8212; very cool looking and much&#8230; umm&#8230; quieter than other Tank sets.  Conversely, the Stone offense is BIG and BOOMING and NOISY and FUN.<br \/>\nHe might be getting a bit of play time in the near future, because (a) I&#8217;d like to make him as useful as possible to what I think it a great Supergroup and (b) I love playing tanks.  Got him to 7 last night, which opens up the Perez zone (important only in that I want to be able to get whereever anyone has a mission).  Picked up Mud Pots at level 6, which gives him a nice PBAoE attack\/taunt that really made him feel like a proper aggro-managing tank (and plays almost exactly like Flaming Aura, which makes it practically second nature for me at this point, thanks to Hype).  Running him around with a fireball-tossing blaster after that point got REMARKABLY EASIER&#8230; I think they nerf Tanker punch-voke before level 10.<br \/>\nAlso, got in a couple fun RP scenes with him that I&#8217;m sorta pissed I forgot to log &#8212; for those with Amber background, I&#8217;m using the Keep of the Four Worlds in his background, with a much stronger Elemental flavoring, and just &#8230;<br \/>\nWell, it&#8217;s not Amber, but I could take his whole background and homeworld and drop it into an Amber game very, very easiliy.<br \/>\nLooking very forward to meeting some of the Knights this afternoon\/evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certainly spent some time on the characters this week, but a lot of it has been RP stuff, so not<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mmos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
