So I hit 20 last night. Interestingly enough, the game seems to get easier as you get to the higher levels. I would imagine this is because you start to have a more complete power set, but it does seem kind of strange. Most MMO's scale such that getting your earliest levels is easy, then the game starts to ratchet up the difficulty.
CoX was the same way, really.

Has anyone made any decent zerglings we could use as character model bases? Also, suggestions for powers. Supernatural energy builder, then powers like Bite, Venomous Breath, Drain Essence and Might Powers?
Venomous Breath is rad. That is all.

Am I understanding the earlier conversation correctly? Should I have done the intro quests in *both* starting areas? Have I notably gimped my XP?

How many stackable DoTs are there?

I've been thinking of making a character called Taint who layers on DoTs so that people can't just overcome straight damage...

Someone did a hitler spoof on the reaction to the launch day patch. Was not holding out much hope, but it is pretty funny.

When has a non-flavor powerset ever stopped anyone from taking a power that's OP?

I see demons running around with mini-mines, for God's sake.

There's poison damage from Toxic Nanites, the %HP DoT from Scything Blade's advantage, and I believe bleeds from separate powers will stack. I know Scything Blade's bleed and SMG/Aggression's bleed stack, not sure about others.

Oh, I have nothing against people picking out powers outside their sets. But the first guy said "sorcery needs love", and everyone after starts talking as if Condemn is a sorcery power.

Hence my "Isn't condemn Supernatural?" comment.

The Single Blade bleeds do NOT stack, though. Scything Blade and Reaper's Caress just refresh each other's bleeds.

Ah, I got confused because you quoted the guy who was talking about Force.

Maybe they only stack outside of their sets, then.

It's all bundled together on one tab, so I bundle them all together as one power.

Ahh well. It's still awesome.

Either way, the hold in Darkness has a DoT advantage as well, and Shadow Blast has an Advatage that has it applies a DoT if you do a full charge on someone who is feared.

There is some single blade dot that does damage based on max HP, making it a killer in PvP.

For the zerglings: dig is of course the travel power.

Thinkin' about my next hero. Supernatural tank was fun, but slow. And besides, I want to try something new. So I guess I'm gonna aim for a damage-oriented build. I'll probably get Regen, as everyone swears by it. Definetly going to shoot for a ranged energy builder this time.

Besides that, I'm blank.

So is there a site that has a character builder? Check out the powers, talents, advantages while outside of the game?

So I was running through the Ren Center because my travel power isn't working correctly, and a citizen stopped me to let me know that the Black aces were snooping around a musiem 'right over there'. Having done that mission before, I know that in this case 'right over there' actually is 'right over there'.

But I was wrong. This time 'right over there' is on the far West side of the map.

No way in hell am I running all the way across town without a functional travel power for that.
