Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em. 😁

What are your primary and secondary powersets?

I can't say I've ever been particularly drawn to the animal headed option and I've certainly seen lion-headed angels before so its not an original concept. Still, I thought I'd have a go at it and see what I could come up with.

This is a quickie, "I think you could get better defenses without sacrificing much" I tossed together while making myself late for work this morning. I might be able to do better with time to finesse things but already going to be late for work. It has 8 slots unspent, has Scaling Resists (not sure if your build had that but just in case it didn't), and pushing Smash/Lethal/Fire/Cold Defense a bit higher than you had. No purples, no superior ATOs. The Health/Stamina slotting is in preparation for th the usual Performance Shifter/Numina Endurance routine. | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1253;595;1190;HEX;| |78DA6593C96FD34014C6C7B5B33A4BD336346DB3D0A4499B06AC94E58C805084685| |02817560503A6589804D90EA2470E9CA840C08D1DFE00FE335A96238B7999F72908| |C5B2FD9BF9FC66E67B6F3CED87ADC4E7D38F8E09453FE9989ED73DE10E7C2B72CEF| |407AEE9A882AE083D0B52EEB62DC7B28C4DF3966DFA76BFC7FD1C7F6B59B7AD9E67| |192DD3BDDB3DEEDEEBBB42EFF4FB8EB1EED85B77FC24B7874DBBB7F57F2F237B677| |A0F6CCFBE613BB6BF9D3D75DFBE6960D141B76D7ABEE56EE7C849899E2735812B50| |458750D6C4C4797093A95D60BE1A8629886D52634D13B535E6F211F0287387E6553| |8565330AF8679C398378C79A38F27E498D7D455794C480D6B524B4598935130C65C| |8A833A53A7D286380F110AE812CFC841040E2270108583381CC4E1209153E52C6FA| |81B43863164B8840C6B874164FA96A274C4EA88AD23B68ED83A629F929724DC25A5| |BB77D44ECB0205A17492562F686235C53C900627C10CF3E014F339CD96419D323FB| |97653BFC0DFCC993FCC7D012838C3F7346A1AAEA777599BD963AE7E03BF3315AA69| |16AEB3D2B54ACA2C6A3A7B88A372C83D87DCF3C87D11B9BF20B773F8C3E6B00FF3D| |88779EC431EFBB053A5F301770BC8AC88CC8AC8A888BFE5034515E0AE20DDBDA495| |4AA84BE922BBDB7F09BC0C5E612E5E05AF3135CAAC8CCCCAA84B0575A9A01E951FC| |CE5B3CC8F145DE531A2EAB1AB4FD45B918724102B0D21B5EB14DE80D386746A9262| |4031A492A4F59B509A52C96BA39349F75059D746E72FD818FBDAD1F09114452A5FE| |2A3330865EF9FA2B09292EFDDB1C8AF639109F9FE0BE185E27D| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Having a Claws/Elec Scrapper who I find great fun, I may be biased here but isn't the best scrapper strategy for survival to max both resistance and defense? If you're doing that then it makes little difference between Defense or Resistance based armor sets. While it may be true that it is harder to cap out on the damage mitigation type your armor set does not provide you can probably still layer enough targeted mitigation to still be ahead of simply relying on only Defense or Resistance.

Back on live on of my, "Its not really good but the challenge is sort of fun" character was an Assault Rifle/Poison Corruptor (might have been Defender but I think it was a Corruptor). Since he was a normal guy, I had to save up for a hoverboard for transportation even. No self-healing and pretty miserable controls made groups of enemies tricky to deal with.

My widow:

I've had a thing for a certain super-powered group of modified humans from the comics, in particular their leader. Not sure why I did not think to draw inspiration from his costume design (though the antenna on the forehead is definitely NOT HAPPENING). Sound Lord does not strike me as a great name though its far less silly than the "real name" the creators of the inspiration gave poor Blackigar. Wonder if I can work in Kirby Dots Dark Matter aura around his head when he uses his powers?

Why can't we have nice things? This is what I might shoot for if the costume creator allowed for it: But it doesn't. I had to composite two different costumes together to get the above image. 😢

For pizzaazz without changing much you might consider nothing more than slightly less muted color settings: The left side is the costume with no changes other than a slightly more golden hue in the appropriate places. The right side is my frustration that the waistcoat is part of the belt settings as Archery/Temporal screams to me to have both quiver and clock. I tried Trenchcoat to get the look but then the belt option wasn't available (and changes would have been necessary to the chest but I think that could have gotten close). I may fiddle with it some more as the day progresses. Edit: Forgot to add the costume files. Draw-Back2.costumeDraw-Back3.costume

Not seeing that in the most recent patch notes. Seeing something like that for Tankers in the April 20th patch notes in regards to Tankers. Can you link?

Maybe I'm missing it in the Patch Notes?

I started one recently and it definitely has its merits. Addendum: Just soloed Protean with mine by keeping him slow and staying out of range.

Energy Aura: Entropic Aura gives you +Recharge based on the number of foes within radius 8. While the resolution of the the following is low (had to compress the file considerably to get it to fit within the attachment size limitation) if you set the display to full screen you should be able to make +Recharge reaching 42.5%: KRBW.mp4 The character in the video is a scrapper but Brutes have access to both Savage Melee and Energy Aura, so the difference will be the same you face for choosing Brute as opposed to Scrapper. I also made no attempt to further boost +Recharge, so it may be something to consider.

Having both a Fire/Dark and a Water/Dark, I will not disagree. 😁

Certainly its cousin Sonic/Tactical Arrow is a lot of fun on a Blaster.

A third thing I would add to a remade CoX Superspeed....going to just come out and say it but they should lift directly from DCUO and have it allow you to run up objects. Biggest problem with superspeed in this game is its utter lack of verticality. Still would suck in various portal zones but would make Superspeed a much more useful travel power in most of the rest of the game.

Another thing I would add to a remade CoX.... Origin functionally means nothing in CoX. I would shift Origin from being tied to the character and instead tie it to powersets (with pools powers and epic masteries counting as powersets) giving each powerset different animations to represent the different origins. So a blaster with Ice Blast powerset could choose Mutation and have ice shooting from their finger tips or perhaps choose Technology and have a ice gun from which the powers emerged. Might also take time to clean up the Origin choices--a mutant's abilities are natural to them bu that's a quibble.

Similar thinking it seems. 🙂

To be fair, I've encountered plenty of people who feel CoH is a grind from 32-35 ownwards. Compared to what I've experienced in other games I think that is silly but its a subjective thing I suppose.

Signature rivals with story arcs and random appearances both open world and in missions. Along with a lot of what else has been suggested.

I couldn't help it. It just popped in there. -- Dr. Raymond Stantz, Ghostbusters And really, I couldn't help it. Do you think there would be a problem with me making a villain that looked like: With the name Anti-Life I suspect I would have to play him on the villain side.

I think what I would like most at the moment would be a trident. Sadly Blasters can't have them. 😢

So after a few months away from the game I have been playing again and a discussion elsewhere prompted me to try a Water/Dark blaster. Of course the name Darkwater was taken. But that may have been fortuitous as casting about for something to represent Water and Darkness landed me on The Depths: First two images show the initial go at it and the third a somewhat more satisfying look. I am still not completely satisfied so revision is likely.
