After having pretty much retired him four or so months ago, I blew the dust and cobwebs off of Balmung today and gave him a run. He really seemed to come into his own, especially during the Manticore Task Force.
Had a really great group going on that as well. I got picked up randomly at about 10 this morning, as we played until 5 this afternoon. Kinda' nuts. I was the highest level in the group (35), most everyone else was 30-32. We lost a controller pretty early, and a blaster whose connection kept failing him, but everyone else stuck it out and play really well together. Definitely people I'd look for again.
After that, and a failed attempt to get out of the house (derailed by a sick child and a bad windshield wiper), I came back to the game and played with my Supergroup, now as the lowbie. Everyone else was in their 40's-50. I was sk'd the whole time to 42, I believe. Still, some major deaths happening from Infernal. That's one painfull mission.
It was nice, though, because now I've seen portals, and a whole bunch of villains I'd never laid eyes on before. And the debt mostly cleared itself out before we split for the night.
Aside from the obvious benefit of sidekicking, I wanted to thank you guys for helping me get Bal "in shape," as it were. I respec'd him after a post here, and his Super Reflexes build pretty much makes him untouchable most of the time. The only issue I have is Endurance, even with Stamina six-slotted. I have some reducers in my attacks, but they, with all those toggles, still take a lot out of me. Seems worth it, though, considering how I can survive even when surrounded by an angry mob of Purples.
Guess I know what I'll be taking when I hit the Epic pools then.
