Only had a brief time to run with Margie tonight — between a late business dinner and Champion crashing for several minutes, not much time to do anything.
So Velvet — vying to get over 23 so that she can do the Terra Volta thang, went soloing, slowly, slowly, slowly, waiting for an invite …
… and, after about 20 minutes of nada, she got an unsolicited invite, a Coalition-based request for help, and an SG-based request for help. When it rains …
Ended up with the Coalition one, helping Vangarde (LF) and WillO’Wisp (FP). We were 23, 25, and 27, so I SKed to Will (the higher), which meant I could do the Tanky thing without too much problem. Will, as an Ice Controller, could lock down most crowds anyway, which meant that Van’s blaster fire didn’t have to hit every time.
Worked out well, if later than expected — but all three of us dinged.
So now Velvet has to figure out her level 24 power. I’d originally slotted Stamina there, since she’s now chronically running out of end (particularly if she has both Temp Invuln and Unyielding running). But Doyce asked the other evening about her having Invincibility, which was slotted for 26 — but is a kick-ass power.
Hmmmm.
I replaced one DR in each of those two toggles with a EndRedux, and that helped a bit, but not enough. Even with Will’s various kinetic hoohahs, my End was pretty dicy most of the evening.
So, short of having some great revelation about how to do it differently (I do have a respec in my pocket, after all, and plenty of infl to replace DOs), I’ll probably stick with the original plan — Stamina at 24, Invincibility at 26. But that’ll be lovely when I get it …
