They DID make a movie about my character.

And it's pretty much spot on for how his luck runs as a hero.

Things go bad pretty fast.

Then they pause for a second, take a deep breath, and then leap, headlong, into "Utterly Ludicrous".

1: What resolution?

2: What level of anti-aliasing? Note: At higher resolutions, FSAA becomes LESS important.

And yes, in many cases, the 970 will equal or exceed the 1060.

If you look through the specs in this comparison you'll see why.

http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-970-vs-GeForce-GTX-1060

More memory bandwidth from a wider memory bus.

More rendering units.

More texture mapping units.

NVIDIA general numbering scheme.

*30: Entry-level barebones gaming.

*40: Mid-range barebones gaming.

*50: High-end barebones gaming.

*60: Entry-level "enthusiast" gaming.

*70: Mid-range "enthusiast" gaming.

*80: High-end "enthusiast" gaming.

i have no idea. this is the first time in years playing again and i am a little bit confused allready. what would be the main difference playing high lvl and low lvl?

Basically, as you exemp, you start losing attacks and armor, as well as the set bonuses slotted in them.

July 8, 2019

Why? Gives you a few ranged options as well as an option to lock-down runners.

Also, the build I put up should exemp just fine.

Attack chain is ALWAYS a problem with SS.

Unfortunately Hand Clap is a complete waste of a power pick, as the ONLY thing it does is breaks up your carefully assembled mobs.

If it did even Minor damage, it'd be at least worth a look. But not as it is.

Basically I just find Tankers a more steady platform.

Scrappers dance the razor's edge. Occasionally doing the splits and...well...

Brutes are tougher and can do a lot more damage. Sure. And can be brought to about 95% of the toughness of an almost identical Tank.

They can still have "razor's edge" problem.

I've gone through content with a Tank, and have noted tougher areas where they're actually able to appreciably damage him/her.

I've gone through the same content at the same difficulty and have noted these areas, if you're not twitchy, will basically reduce you to nomming the carpet.

I can sum it up thus.

Tank: I'm okay, ow, ow, ow, ow, okay I'm not okay, ow, DEAD

Brute: I'm okay, ow, ow ow, okay I'm not.., DEAD.

I am struggling with a SS brute who I want to really enjoy due to the updated rage crash. The -def is fairly tough, but the - damage is just punishing. I go on time out for 10s from doing my job about every 90-100s (my recharge so far). This leads me to several questions:

1. Does anyone have the comprehensive penalties for rage crash at hand?

2. Will double stacking rage overcome the damage penalty or is it like the def penalty, it just crashes you?

3. It says in Pine's planner that "Unrelenting" will negate the rage crash, but that has a base recharge of 600s, so that is not going to be much help.

Do you have to active the power to negate the rage penalty?

Does just having Unrelenting negate the crash?

Does it actually negate the rage crash or just back fill by adding a bit of damage and end back?

Do you have any suggestions for managing the Rage crash?

Thanks,

Stormmage

What I do during a Rage crash.

TAUNT.

If you have Kick acting as a mule for the Force Feedback proc, use it for a possible small burst of +Rech.

Also, Unrelenting, from the Presence pool will mitigate part of the -Dmg portion of the Rage crash.

If you're worried about the -Def?

BUILD TOUGHER.

Sorry if that comes across as crass or rude. But that's the solution.

You CAN mitigate the effects.

And double stacking doesn't make the problem go away.

And just using rage at-need isn't the answer either. As Rage is what takes the set that does crap damage that's the most resisted in the game to a set that, even heavily resisted, is NOTHING to sneeze at.

Double-stacked Rage puts you very near +Damage cap.

As Jaynen says, Fire/Elec/Rad (Fire's debuff cousin) make it relatively easy to cap almost all your Resists. So slather some S/L defense on top can call it good.

For secondaries?

There are powers out there that require ground contact to execute.

To running solely from Hover can interfere with your attack chains.

Just be aware of this.

For primaries?

NO STONE.

Some of your DEFENSES require ground contact (Rooted, Granite), and enforce this by auto-disabling any powers that interfere.

I remember enjoying the Rikti MSRs back in the day.

I hadn't yet had the opportunity to try them out in Homecoming. And based on what I've read here, I don't think I'll bother - it seems like there are plenty of other options for fun / xp / whatever that would be a more efficient use of my time.

Actually, done right, with a nearly full league, and ship raids are one of the more lucrative passtimes in the game.

45 minutes (roughly)

1-2 levels worth of XP.

800-1600 Vanguard Merits

As for "control freaks".

Normally my main thing isn't really people who leapfrog pylons.

Just, if someone is going to clear pylons BEFORE the actual event? NOTIFY the raid leader so they can just SKIP them. It's annoying to run out to a pylon site and find it empty.

Also, people hopping into the bowl to drag U'kon.

I normally ask people NOT to do this.

I prefer just zerging the bowl as, post-Incarnates, we have people who are MORE than tough enough jump into that and take no damage, and they can grab aggro in the initial seconds.

And it gives EVERYONE a chance to get into the bowl and take their whack at U'kon to get the Reward Merits.

It also gives people killed during the bomb phase a chance to hosp or rezz and get buffed super-shiny by the pre-zerg crowd.

My preference is to have the tanks/brutes/scrappers drag enemies all the way down into the "green monster" heal-cloud in the bowl.

1: If tanks are too far from their teammates, they do not get credit for team kills of Rikti and their teammates don't get credit for their kills.

2: Dragging them down into the bowl gets them killed off faster, rather than dueling with one group of 10 for the entire 45 minutes.

This way the raid is more lucrative for EVERYONE.

And the final thing is pets. Purely for practical reason.

The game has a maximum number of entities that it'll render into a secene.

Beyond that, other enemies simply aren't shown.

Mastermind and other pets (including Incarnates) count against this.

Too many MM players or everyone sporting pets simultaneously means we can't see EACH OTHER, let alone all the pets!

If you can't target, you have to hope tabbing through to acquire an enemy will work.

And not being able to see anything is kinda a buzzkill.

On a full league, I generally ask that pets be limited to MM standard powers pets.

On a non-full league, I try to condense into as few teams as possible. And then I'll let people know they can start popping pets if they want.

How are you supposed to assign people a grate? There's no way of identifying them...?

I run MSRs.

I normally refer to the area with the grates as a "lane".

So, working inward.

Left and Right Rim Grates.

Left and Right Center Grates

Left and Right Bowl Grates

Not so much a problem on Invuln.

A decent Invuln build can soft-cap all six primary typed Damage classes.

They're still weak on Psi.

Additionally, a decent build can more than double your non-S/L Resists.

You can bump your Psi Resist some. But it'll force compromises into the build that can be covered as Pure Psi damage (with no Positional modifier) is rarer than hens' teeth.

Completely agree with this assessment, my /Inv background is on a Scrapper, though, so maybe that's why I question the benefit of F/C defense if you already have high S/L Def. Most F/C attacks come with a S/L component (elemental swords and punches, most blasts, etc), so the net added value of high F/C Def at the cost of offense is maybe down to taste. If you're building a tank or you can achieve a satisfactory level of offense, I'd definitely get soft capped F/C Def in addition to S/L/E/NE.

Primarily for completism.

Secondarily, simple convenience factor.

The Enhanced Winter-Os plunk down a LOT of F/C defense at 6 slots.

Hell on some tank builds, it's to the point where you can shave off slot #6 or dedicate it to something other than the 6th Winter-O slot. and still remain above F/C cap.

And if you look around at some of the builds I've provider, you're mostly looking at 6-slotted

There's something else here that isn't really clicking for me.

Another detail I'm not seeing addressed is that this build had a reason to take Sorcery and Pyre Mastery. I've heard in this thread that I shouldn't care about [unstoppable], which if that's the experience users have - great! That's the sort of insight I want since I haven't level capped this toon yet. Tell me more about how this +Res (All but Psionics) and Mez Res ability is coming up short. I saw Unstoppable as a natural pairing alongside [Rune of Protection]'s +Res (All) and Mez Res. When I toggle them on in Pine's the Defense and Resistance bars look fabulous, even for Psionics. I realize there's no point in that if you're not dealing any damage. Are the number swings worthwhile? I'm still interested in experiential feedback from players who've used [unstoppable] and/or [Rune of Protection]. How do they feel? If not taking the Fighting and Leadership pools is sacrilegious then why isn't anything being done to mitigate Psionic damage? Doesn't the endgame have a lot of Psionic damage going on? I would think that if any character could just take [Tough], [Weave], and [Maneuvers] then shouldn't a damage-taking Archetype be able to forgo them?

[Melt Armor] also looked like a cool way to do more damage, with [Arcane Bolt] and [Char] helping with runners (and pulling).

I played a /Inv character extensively on live, and here's my take on Unstoppable. Primarily, I want consistent performance out of my character, and Unstoppable doesn't provide that. If I consistently need Unstoppable, then I'm either with a bad team, have my difficulty settings borked or then there's something wrong with my build. If I don't need Unstoppable consistently, why not just drop it and use inspirations or [Eye of the Magus] instead?

^^^^^^

This! To Infinity and Beyond THIS!

If you need Unstoppable, PERIOD, your build needs work. You shouldn't need to rely on a team to buff what you can achieve naturally.

Now, if you plan on sticking to a MOSTLY common-IO setup and don't plan on BUILDING the tank, then yeah. Unstop might have SOME utility.

As for mitigation in general, you don't really want an even level of mediocre defense against everything, but you want strong defense against the really common stuff, and then whatever you can spare for the rest. In practice this basically means you want to heavily prioritize S/L Defense/Res as a vast majority of the attacks come with an S/L component (= S/L def helps you avoid a lot of attacks), next E/NE (energy is the most common attack type that comes without S/L parts), and finally get a good dose of F/C/Psi def if you can. Even then, after soft capping S/L/E/NE it's probably a good idea to prioritize recharge, recovery, hp regeneration and offense because a dead enemy does no damage. Pure F/C/Psi damage is, in the end, such a small part of the overall damage of most enemy groups that you're better off being consistently extremely strong against the 90% (S/L/E/NE) and then relying on insps, temporary powers, teammates and such against the remaining 10% rather than being kind of ok against everything.

Not so much a problem on Invuln.

A decent Invuln build can soft-cap all six primary typed Damage classes.

They're still weak on Psi.

Additionally, a decent build can more than double your non-S/L Resists.

I realize the title of this thread focused on the /Invulnerability side of things, but I've had a look through a few Broad Sword/ threads and the advice I'm getting there is conflicting with the advice I'm getting here. Because of the length of the Broad Sword animations their attack chain optimization isn't standard. Slotting them may be a bad idea if for anything other than a set bonus, Endurance cost, their debuffs, Accuracy, or Damage. This leads into the question of the (usually) best part of Broad Sword/ being [Parry]'s buff. Since most Armor Powersets will be happy to get the +Def (L./S.), Parry's usually a no-brainer. One of the strengths of /Invulnerability is that there isn't any difficulty reaching soft cap for L./S. Defenses. I was told this frees up space in the attack chain to use more offensive attack powers. Presuming I'm using [Haste] to speed up an attack chain, if the /Invulnerability powerset with [Hover] allows me to trivially reach the soft cap without applying Parry's buff, shouldn't we optimize our attack chain by dropping Parry in favor of the optimized [Hack], [Head Splitter], [Disembowel] attack sequence? (The animations are a part of figuring out which attacks give the most Damage over time.)

Just to be clear, the Defense buff out of Parry isn't S/L defense.

It's Lethal/Melee defense.

So if you're fighting Tower-Buffed Lord Recluse and he's blasting you wiht his Endurance drain? Parrying him does bupkiss.

If you're fire farming, parrying does bupkiss.

How Well would this build translate into a Brute?

I'm thinking about moving WP/SS to SS/WP and do less pure tanking, but still be able to tank when needed.

Sorry for the sarcasm but that's my point. Tanks don't get Regen.

Maybe whoever told you that a Regen Tank was not a good idea was referring to Reflexes? as in Super Reflexes?

Basically it's a goof in Pine's.

Tanks won't get Regen because it's completely boom/bust.

Basically it either kills you in two shots or it can't ever kill you...

*Standard Code Rant*

And yes. Assume that the code is still mostly spaghetti.

July 6, 2019

Well hey, why don't we just do away with ATs all together and give everyone every powerset both as primary and secondary?

Go play CO for that.

CoH doesn't support this sort of thing stably.

Freeform CoH characters have been tried.

Ripping out all the "error" checking for this stuff is non-trivial.

July 6, 2019

Spider Man is class 25 whereas Hulk is class 100 (well. . .he has no upper bound but starts at 100).

Spider-Man is an example of a Super-Strength scrapper.

Most melee-oriented supers have SOME modicum of superhuman strength. It's kinda like the "basic package"

Captain America comes in at the low end of the spectrum. He's marginally stronger than the strongest human weightlifters. He can basically chuck a motorcycle at you if necessary and he has the proper technique to take advantage of the momentum.

Spidey is MUCH higher up the scale and is in the "Chuck cars around" strong if he really NEEDS to.

Hulk's BASELINE is "Knock buildings down and chuck MAIN BATTLE TANKS for miles". Not even going to address "Worldbreaker".

You're talking a difference in orders of magnitude.

CAN Spidey fight Hulk and make him hurt?

Yep.

Spidey MIGHT get lucky and knock Hulk out if the fight is short and sudden.

But the Hulk only REALLY needs to solidly connect ONCE and it's Spider-Salsa.

Okay, a super-expensive build can get you a Soft-Capped Invuln setup that DOES NOT REQUIRE THE FIGHTING POOL!

No mule attack you never use.

No Cross-Punch.

No Tough.

No Weave.

Nor the resultant, ongoing Endurance drain from the toggles!

So this leaves you with power choices late in the build and a fairly hefty Endurance budget to use them.

Awww no cross punch or spring attack? :(

Anyway, those last two builds were Invulnerability, not WP matey ;) hehe

What the?!?!?!?

I KNOW I posted these to a completely different thread!

Okay, while this isn't a Fighting-Free setup:

S/L is just sub-SoftCap. However, a Tier2 Agility Alpha will bring you up.

But WP/SS/Earth.

So you've got a nice ability to take and hold aggro!

The above build presumes the use of a Tier-2 Agility to make SoftCap, but F/C is ALREADY pushing Incarnate Softcap.

Steal one slot from two powers slotted with Winter-Os, drop them into Invincibility and Tough Hide and drop a generic Defense IO in and you're "magically" soft-capped to all 6 primary Typed WITHOUT the Alpha.
