    Hi.

    I have a lvl 31 Tanker SR/DM and i would like a build (for now i am ok with no set, only invention IO) I think of perhap's using MOG for the fewer occasions whre def will fail.

     

    But i also need a build for my Brute IM/Regen cause i almost never see a build (ok i know regen isn't the UBER secondary but who cares ?)

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

     

    If you're looking for no-set IOs, for active Defense/Resist powers, 2 Def or 2 Res and 1 EndRedux

    For passive Resist/Defense powers, subtract the Redux ( such powers shouldn't allow you to slot it anyhow).

    Attacks?  Personal Pref is 2 Acc, 2DMG, 1 EndRedux and 1 Recharge.

    Help me understand Defense and Resists...

     

    Does defense reduce their chance to hit me or if they're hitting me for a potential of 100 damage and I have 48% Defense then I reduce their potential damage to 52? But then in my mind that's how resistance works. I resist 85% of the 100. And is there an order in which the math takes place? Is Def calculated before or after Res? So my Def blocks 48% then I resist 85% of what's left?



    Defense reduces the number of times you're hit.
    Resistance reduces the amount of damage done when you actually get hit.

    0% Defense
    50% Resist mean, if something hits you for 200 points of damage, you see 100 points.  EVERY TIME.

    With Defemse, you either get hit or you don't (as in zero damage).
    There's a formula for determining probable damage over time. 

    This old post has Arcanaville explaining it in a concise, complete manner (so I don't have to...lazylazylazy....)

    And actual damage mitigation over time is
    Zero Resist, and Zero Defense x total POSSIBLE hits modified by (Successful Hits minus Resistance) minus failed To Hits.

    Plug in numbers from here:

    Generally how it works.  Buffs and Debuffs modify it further.

    For the record I think @Hyperstrike builds are fine - great in fact.  I like mine better naturally because I make them for me first and foremost - I get nothing but satisfaction when someone uses my builds and enjoys them.  If they dont - that's OK too because I still do. 

     

    This is after all - a game and I think people who chase damage like this - lose sight of some of the more fun attributes this game can provide.  Clear speed wins nothing but boredom from repetition for playing every AT and every Character the exact same way - missing out on cool powers along the way that don't fit the Moar damage quest. 

     

    To each their own. 😉

    The "best" build is always the one that suits your play style.

    I'm looking for a Inv/Battle Axe tanker build. 

     

    Thanks!

    Barebones, but durable Inv/Axe:

    Oh what could’ve been. If COH had reached the heights of popularity that WOW did, who knows what might’ve happened.  I used to really want to see some more COH related media, I enjoyed the comic books growing up.


    I dunno.  Some of Jack's early ideas for directing game play (You SHOULD BE STREET SWEEPING to get ANYWHERE!) are not the sort of things that should be encouraged with giant piles of money.

    I love the game.

    But most of what I love are the products of Paragon Studios building on the original platform.

    Thank you sooo much Lauci! I did not know that. I thought the form was a ball of energy or something lol.

     

    OK, so unlike other toggles when in human form, I can toggle light form in human form and then it will stay active as Nova or Dwarf? That's badass!

     

    I'm lvl 25 now so halfway there. It's too fun so I don't lock xp. I just enjoy the game and when I get to 50, i can go back on Oro to do any missions I missed. Mainly hero story arcs. Loving Kheldian PB!!!!

     

    If anyone wants to hang, lmk. @XalonMG on the main server.

     

    Or my Arachnos Soldier @Xalon on main server villain side.

     

    Khledian PB Supergroup - now that would be cool!



    LightForm isn't a "toggle'.

    It's a GodMode Resistance armor.

    But the game is such that with sufficient recharge you can essentially "perma" it.

    That means that particular claim cannot be brought back before the court.  It does not forestall future claims of infringement.  It does not in any way protect CoH/Homecoming from Marvel filing suit for infringement.


    No it does not.

    What is DOES do is raise the standards for EVIDENCE.

    Simply having an Electric blastere named "Mu Howard" doesn't automatically mean he's an Expy of Curly (Jerome) Howard.

    Somehow this probably sounded way more kinky then you intended, lol

    Don't hesitate to send me a tell if you want to perfect that French 😉

     

    Nah.  Snagged it from an Anthony Edwards/Linda Fiorentino fim from the 80's.

    Where the MORE offensive was a quote from Lady Marmalade.

    And everything I learned about International Diplomacy was summed up in this scene....

    I don't know the amount of data all those unused alts take up, I can't imaging it's that high. If I need to search the database for a character it's pretty easy and depending on how loose my search criteria is depends on how many results it throws out.

    It's not the number of names and alts that are a problem.



    This was the point I was trying to make.  😚

    Even if it's not specifically for name camping, those characters are taking up database space when you could instead have just used the "Save Costume" button. And I don't think anyone has a problem with a handful of characters. Three or four hundred is a problem.


    And how much space in the DB is that?

    And how big is the DB?

    And what is the ratio of individual character space vs total db size?


    Yes, I understand the anger over deliberate name camping.  It's annoying.
    But you need to be able to prove that's what's going on IN YOUR SITUATION.  Not simply claim "It's happening"

    Your statement here implies that GM Crumpet is a complete idiot. Worse, it makes it apparent that you think we're all idiots, because that's the only way that anyone could agree with this disingenuous post.

     

    Now I've had some serious disagreements with the moderators in the past, and I have the warning points to prove it, but I don't believe for a minute that any of the Homecoming GM/Devs/Staff are stupid.

     

    I find it far more likely that if GM Crumpet had seen a bunch of accounts with names like Test0001 -> Test 0857 it's highly likely that he they (sorry, didn't mean to assume your gender) wouldn't have said anything because they understand that no one is upset that they can't name their new main Test 0157. People want "cool" names like "Captain Skyway" and "Knight of the Hollows", so it's far more likely that the hundreds of camped names, that they're referring to, are names that fall under the subset of "cool", not utilitarian stuff  like Test 0485.

     

    And you know this Excraft. Your entire post is utter disingenuous nonsense. No one is gonna get banned for having 800 variations of Test 0123, no one is getting banned for having a ton of characters named "Bzzrzrzrzrrrk" and "Urmomomoommmmmz" and you know it. In your zeal to win the argument you've gone completely overboard and you're trying to make a point that no one with a 3 digit IQ is going to believe for a second.

    If you're talking about nova only then yeah, if you are human/nova bi form you are a tanky scrapper/blaster, you won't compare in damage but we outdo them in tankiness.



    If someone's talking "Nova Form Only", that's EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

    It may not be as effective as a tri form but it's still viable for most end game content, hell Human form alone is still viable in most end game content. But I think the original poster wanted to play as Nova only, no human form involved which is more akin to playing a petless MM without the added support power pool that MM's get.



    Sorry, you're essentially playing an underpowered blaster and hoping your teammates will soak the aggro up before they come for you.
