Along with the lack of options for legs, why can't the animal heads have anything on them? I get that THIS option would need new art done up especially with helmets and such but why can't we even have hair? Why is it that almost ever game removes options for animal based characters. The only game that didn't do that was the OTHER super hero game by NCSoft...but that game, despite its EXCELLENT char. creator sucked when it came to actual content sadly. Also, just to add to the growing list...please update the lion's tail. Seriously it looks like a piece of string attached to a tuft...thicken this thing out a bit more please!

Yeah, if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all. Plus the purple wasn't even applicable for my build...of course this was also before converters were a thing. The purple was on live...I have never gotten a purple on Homecoming.

I wouldn't be opposed to also upping the inf that they do trickle down to us in missions and such. It always was surprising that the end of mission reward for a full team quest/mission never gave anything that surpassed the 100k influence mark even at level 50...or at least I personally have never seen it. The influence reward is...honestly anemic in my opinion. Not sure if anyone else feels that way but again, thats my opinion.

Hahahaha, preach on! I'd attend that TED talk.

I have been in those caves as well. Though, my Voltaic kept up with me pretty well. It got stuck once but eventually it got to me. I really don't notice it being TOO horrible really. Again, though if something does happen it's not hard to just re-summon it back. I have the opposite situation to yours with my Mastermind...they do keep getting stuck (bots) but the built in teleport thing they do usually works on BIG open maps. Stair's are their weakness I have noticed. I am not saying your not having issues, far from it. I just am not having the experience you are having with the sparky guy...or maybe it doesn't bother me as much perhaps. It's odd the things we pick up on that don't seem to matter to others or its not a bother to them. Each one experiences the game differently. Take my pet peeve...the AH. Everyone seems to be able to make billions on that damn thing but I can't make a decent amount to save my life. I still have yet to hit 200 mil much less the 500m that I am told is what it takes to make a "great" build. 😞 Also, i have only ever received one purple recipe in my 8+ years of playing. RNG is my bane and I want to murder it with every fiber of my being.

I find it has issues but not nearly as bad as what your making it out to be. If it DOES get stuck then yeah, just cancel and summon a new one is what I do. I like having it around though as it just goes zzzt to baddies and whittles them down a bit. I once was in that "lost city" map with all those portals and the little guy had a bit of a pathing issue but it turned out to be a blessing. It just constantly attacked the portal and I let it go for a bit. When I went to see its progress, it had almost taken the thing out and no villains had spawn from it. I call that a win.

Oh no, I completely understand that new things have to be drawn and all that. However, this is already in the game and the upper part of the legs really do not change from Monstrous to "Normal". Lower portion of course but just adding the briefs to the upper part shouldn't, as far as I know, be too difficult to do.

I never understood why, with such a canvas, they just don't give us some more options. 😛

As the title suggests, why can't we have the briefs option even when we choose tights? This was just something I never understood why it was left out of the choices for that lower body option.

So as the title suggests im sort of torn, my main on live was a Claw/Regen scrapper but honestly I never thought I quite got the hang of him (my alt-itus got the better of me). After returning to homecoming from a LONG hiatus I wanted to give another scrapper a try and Savage really looked good to me since the character is going to be a sort of werewolf. I just don't know which one is more "survivable" or honestly if the pairings have any merit. I look to the community to help me down the long and winding road...i really want to get a scrapper to 50+ as I have never been able to do it before. I do primarily solo (I have no friends that play the game sadly) but I do join teams when I can.

You know I was just looking at some of the newer pool powers and wondered what would be more thematic for a agile robot? Combat Teleport was something I looked at for theme but I don't want to gimp the characters either. Hover blasting I think may be ideal though, but im curious as I have not really given any consideration to the newer pool powers either. Hover would be the safer option though I am thinking but...what do you guys think? Is it viable to get both Combat Teleport, Hover and a Travel power?

Yeah, im thinking Elec mastery as well since it would fit thematically with the char. My biggest hurdle currently...what to name him! 😄 I was actually thinking of doing up a DP/SR as well... My DP/Nin fared...badly.

Oh no worries on Elude, was planning on skipping it anyway as I am not going for PvP at all. I was thinking of going Master Brawler, I don't like having to watch my Mez protection so that's probably the way to go.

So just what the title says, I have played a Beam/Rad toon to 50 (and my only 50 too 😞 ) and I like the beam rifle damage and play style I suppose. SR though is something I'm not to familiar with. Something off topic though, i was going through DA with my Beam/Rad guy and got to the last part of that mission with saving the Sigil and Kabala...I let loose an ionic blast from the incarnate power and.... a half second later I was in the hospital since all the KoV hadn't died and they just mowed me down before I could even think about clicking anything else. Sadness 😞

Oh many thanks for this insight Wimbochismo! I will have to read this a bit in depth but this does provide me some input on what to do with the regen aspect of the build. THANKS!!!

Yeah, I noticed it was missing the little sparky guy and I do LOVE him on my build right now. I do not want to get rid of him. I figured that I would have to scrap it to be honest and would appreciate a much more updated build. I have some funds but not in the billions of course...i think I have about 180 mill which of course in this game is still "poor".

So, to be fair, I was following this build from Oldskool but I feel it could be dated. Is there anything I should change out/remove? He did mention it isnt very optimized but it might be okay for a beginning build to build onto. Just want to have some thoughts. He made mention he would do another build later on but to my knowledge he hasn't. I am sure he just got sidetracked and forgot all about it, don't really blame him. 🙂 uc=1716&c=698&a=1396&f=HEX&dc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

I don't really have a build. Just some random IO's in places and slots in powers in which I have no idea if there should be slots in those powers.

Sooo...ive been away for quite some time and I understand Sentinels have had another (small?) pass from the devs? Maybe I am mistaken but if anyone out there has some build advice for sents that isn't over 3 years old, id appreciate it! Some things that I do need to have though: Fly, all of the elec powers if possible (though I can remove short circuit I guess but why do people skip lightning bolt? I love that power), all the Regen powers...that's pretty much it for the must haves. Anything else for the build that would make it better would of course be wanted. I am looking I think for a mix of Def and Res but will lean more towards Res I think. I primarily solo, but will team up with people if/when necessary. I am only lvl 35 as of this writing but im looking towards endgame and just dont trust myself with all the IO's and what they synergy with. Thanks in advance and if there is something that is unclear or needs to be clarified, please ask. P.S. I am relatively poor but can afford some IO sets but trying to play the ol AH never seems to go well for me. 😞 🙂

While I respect your opinion I already have a regen and would like to play as one. I also personally do not like willpower as a powerset. I tried it and just didnt like it. If it worked for you thats great! I have no interest in it myself.

Cant argue with that logic for the most part. Take them out before they take you out. Course then you fight that mob who seems to laugh at your pathetic attempts and waltzes on your faceplanted body...its rare but happens to me with alarming regularity it seems. :) i have rotten luck. :P

Oldskool, Appreciated (though I cant see the build being not near mids) but I will take a look later today. I get my budget is going to be a factor of course. As long as this build helps in getting to a point to do endgame stuff (or beyond) im happy. If possible, if influence isnt much of a factor, a build to go for would be nice but if this build as i said gets me to endgame and beyond I can work on building up my bank. :) I'll have to work on getting those accolades.

Ahh, so many things I forgot! Okay let me answer those. 1. Mostly solo but teaming when I'm able too. 2. I'd love to go toe to toe with AVs, though I know that a few can be nigh impossible without the right build or even powerset. 3. Mostly post lvl 50. 4. Powers I dont want...this char. is pretty flexible so I would say no. 5. Purples are fine but I'd like a alt for them if possible (they pricey and I'm poor). 6. Winter sets are fine if that's the only option. (See #5).

So here I am again after a pretty long hiatus but I came back when I found out they made some changes to Sentinels. I have been doing pretty good thus-far (only lvl 31) and I like how he's progressing for the most part but I need something with a end of game build idea. I really have no experience or in depth knowledge in how to create builds sadly with all the IO's available. Ideally I would like to stay at ranged but have enough +def to be able to avoid both melee and ranged hits. I want hover and fly in the build and I do have Combat Maneuvers. I plan on taking every power in the regen pool but if I should drop one it's not a huge loss. With the Elec powers though, I tend to have ALL of the powers unlocked. Frankly I like all of them and don't want to skip on any one of them if at all possible. IF I need to remove the first power however as long as I have the second up due to faster recovery I can work with that. Sorry if the post sounds needy/demanding. I just wanted to give anyone out there as much info as I could in regards to what I am trying to achieve. I would like damage to be as high as possible but if I have to sacrifice some for better defenses then so be it up to a point of course. Epic pools are totally open to whatever. Thank you in advance. :)

Yeah, i had thought about the performance shifter one...sadly its going for 4mil at the moment...way out of my price range. I probably will end up getting Tough though. I havnt checked on the Unbreakable Guard one though. I swear every time I try to play the market...it looks at me and laughs while taking the little influence I have. 😞
