I've been rethinking about Moonbeam myself lately. I skipped it because from what I was reading at the time I was getting ready to roll the toon (what little there was to read), the consensus was that Moonbeam was weak for a snipe and that the melee/PBAoE powers were harder hitting and that you needed to be in melee range, making Moonbeam practically useless. But that was before the changes to sniper powers. I will definitely be working Moonbeam into my respec and will look at ET while I'm at it.

Thank you both for the builds. I'm gonna look at them both and see what I can do with them. As for inf, I can always task my farmer for more, so I might just take the best of both builds and mash them into mine.

Well not as often as you might think, but facing EB's & AV's that I can't get locked down, yes I faceplant everytime. My strategy going into a fight is to lockdown everyone, then pound on them leisurely one by one. Works great for mobs (if a bit slow), but EB's can be tough and AV's simply won't be held. I'll take a look at Mace Mastery and see if that helps with survivability.

So I have this 50 Mind Control/Dark Assault and, well, it seems a bit... underpowered. Mind you, she doesn't have Alpha slotted yet (because the $%^&*@# shards won't drop!). So here's my mids build. Can someone look at it and tell me where I'm going wrong here?

I'm no coder, but I imagine this would require a new server-side database to store the text of all signs for a base, times however many bases are on a server. Seems like that could put a burden on the servers when there is a simpler solution. Granted, the letters objects we currently have are HUGE. So, just add the ability to resize these letters instead. Still clunky putting up multiple letters for signs, but probably better than the potential resource hit on the servers.

Not just THIS, but the way it should have been done in the first place!

Joke? The validity of pizza toppings is no joke. It's srs bsns. And the perfect topping combination is pepperoni, bacon and mushroom. Period.

This! Then I can finally have my squad of FemBots with which I can take over the world!

Fantastic work! I think I can speak for everyone that was interested by saying thank you so much! Matter of fact, I'm going to copy those right now and remake my sig using them as soon as I hit 'Reply'. Besides, I have more alts to add to it anyway. Damned Alt-itis...

I'm sure many would appreciate it if you were to make a set of AT icons in hi-rez. Especially the new Sentinel AT.

Damn you! *runs off to roll a rad/rad Corr named "Nuke 'Em Sheridan"*

Ideally, custom signage for things like labeling storage racks and enh tables, or for directional assistance within the base (such as "Power Room →", "← Med Bay", etc.). Understanding that coding for signs with custom wording might be difficult, more alphabet objects with varying sizes and some additional characters like '&', '+', '(', ')', and so forth would be a nice alternative. Also, and forgive me if someone else brought this one up since I have not read the whole thread, but recipe storage would be awesome.

Call me a skeptic, but I seriously doubt that NCSoft is going to come to any agreement with any party on their IP and not gain something in the process. Maybe Titan and HC can work a way with them to keep it F2P, but there will be a price to pay of some sort. My biggest fear? That NCSoft will want some form of control over any server running CoH. Add a new powerset? Gotta run it by the suits in Seoul first. New TF? Gotta wait for NC$oft's OK. New AT? Well... you get the picture. And if, with this new-found legitimacy, the server pop rises significantly? *cue Imperial March music* "We are altering the deal. Pray we don't alter it further."

As the title states, I'm looking for build suggestions for a Dual Blades/Dark Armor. Power picks, IO sets, whatever wisdom you may want to glomp on me. Mids builds happily accepted!
