Clawdia's Build: Claws Fiery Aura Brute [Post Sunset]

Here to protect... or destroy?

So I'm playing around with another new build, my second post sunset character. For now, her name is Clawdia because, well, of her claws as the primary. I do really like the look of her!

I'm not married to her name or anything and will probably pick something else, maybe elemental related once the game is back.

She is a Claws and Fiery Aura Brute with Artic Mastery EPP since the -slow from the cold powersets pair nicely with Burn. She's probably going to be one of the first toons I'll play as the farmer. I think she would do well due to the low endurance cost of Claws and the AoE-ness of Fiery Aura, considering that we'd most likely all be starting over together from the beginning.

I did consider going with Electric Armor instead, but I do have a soft (or warm?) spot for Fiery as it's one of my favorite type of power. Maybe I'll make a Claws/Elect version anyway? Hmm.

I am thinking her background will be something tech related (obviously from her design) and that's how she has some control over the elements... or something like that. I do know that she's more cyborg than human. Maybe she's from the future? Like some future soldier or something. Or even PPD from Pretoria? We'll figure it out later. 

Action shot!

Omph!

As for her build, check it out below. I've never had a claws toon before, so I am not 100% sure of how it plays, though I imagine it wouldn't be too different from the other weapons set. The focus of the build is to be a decent jack of all trades, good for soloing and teaming.

The powers selection.

And some visual stats. 

She's not soft capped or anything, but not too bad either, I think? Here's the datalink if you want to download it to Mids.

And yep, she's hanging out in the city. I logged into Paragon Chat for a bit to futz around. Can I say how much I wish the game is back? I finally have a computer that can handle all the graphics setting pumped to the max.

The music made me super duper sad, like a punch in the gut. But running around wasn't as bad because it's a brand new character that I've never played before, so the attachment factor wasn't there. Now, if I was playing Ms Ann or Zazza (who was sort of my main before sunset) would be a whole nother story.

Anyway, have a Happy New Years! Stay safe and have fun! Here's to hoping that the good news will come in 2016!

Vixona's Build: Fire Blast & Dark Miasma Corruptor

I was lurking on the Titan forums the other day and was inspired to build a Fire/Dark Corruptor because someone had mentioned that you can basically solo 0/8 by level 10. Given the gobs of AoEs in Fire Blast and Tar Patch in DM, I wanted to see how ridiculous this build would be.

Oh lookie, I had forgotten that I had such a character. Her name is Vixona. I'm actually not entirely sure if I remember what she even looked like. Eh?

When the game comes back, I will very likely rename her since I am not too thrilled with it to begin with. She most likely will not be among the first characters I reroll and play, since I'm more drawn to the melee playstyle. If anything, the first character will likely be a Brute of some sort. They are just so darn fun.

At any rate, here's Vixona's build. Apologies if it's crap. I just finished a 25 page research paper and my brain is fried.

It looks ok? Right?

I'll be the first to admit that I kind of have no idea how to build out a DM character with the support role set. I did have a melee toon with DM in Paradoxic (whom I adore), but I've never played the support version (other than getting Vixona to level 15, apparently). I barely played Corrs in general as I thought Thermonuclea was my one and only (gosh I miss her too). Goes to show how much I cared about this character.

Ehh? Ehh?

My build strategy for her was basically throwing inf at her until she looks kind of right. I think it's a good build? Who knows. Gee, I wish I knew how she played (there's no Fire/Dark Corr videos on Youtube.. boo!). Here's the data link if you want to poke around. I'm open to suggestions.

I'm Back! With Random Screenshots!

Funny, it was about the same time last year that I slunk back to this blog.

Mind you, I didn't stop hoping, wishing, and pining away for the game. Grad school started ramping up with a vengeance. Taking 2 classes per semester (including the summer semester) while working 50 hrs/week at the day job doesn't leave me much time to think, let alone mull over the City!

But I am back! At least for a month before the spring semester starts up again. And I bring pictures! They are pretty random ones that were taken about 1-2 years into playing the game.

Exploring Striga the day of its release.

This was in Victory on one of my 1st characters, AR/Dev Blaster.

Also admiring myself, obviously. 

And... hanging on top the mountain-hill thing in Striga. 

More playing around with my AR/Dev Blaster before the nerfs. 

My very first foray into the new (at the time) cargo ship map. 

It was a distinct memory. This was on my Fire/Fire Blaster in Victory. 

My Fire/Fire Tank in Victory as well. 

She was a mutant origin if you haven't already guessed.

This was also a time when DOs mattered.

And my first character and my main in Virtue, Ms Ann. 

Not the most, creative name, I know. 

And here's Sixty, my second character in Virtue. 

Not a big fan of Positron back then when the TF was a 5 hour ordeal.
