Hyperstrike

I haven't run into this. Then again, I'm not REALLY playing wide-aspect ratio. And only play Windowed because of my goofy setup and how Windows 10 doesn't differentiate between game resolution and desktop resolution. So I get other issues. Like finding out how wide the letterboxing is in cut scenes. Resolution: 6480x3840.

Hero: Thanks! *Pats the soldier on the leg...* Soldier: Uh...Move along please...

Shooting runners in the back is probably one of the things I love most about playing ranged characters. ;D I often like to throw out a "You better run you coward!" or something similar afterwards. :) This is me:

Ice is great for Defense. But if you crack the Defense, it can eggshell nastily. So, while you should build towards soft-cap, always look at Resistance buffage too. Here's an example. It's kinda ridiculously uber-buff (Incarnate soft-cap to S/L and standard Soft-Cap to everything else. And, even though it doesn't REALLY need it, it's got multiple Recovery options (Energy Absorption, Conserve Power). https://tinyurl.com/IceRadTank And here's a Common IO build (plus the "must have" special IOs that you want to aim for). https://tinyurl.com/IceRadTank-CommonIO-Plus

1: You don't need +Acc in Taunt. Taunt is auto-hit for Tanks in PVE. 2: With Rage, you want to max it's Recharge out ASAP. The +ToHit is less important when you're running Rage Double-stacked. 3: You've gone overboard selecting Teleport powers. You've missed your damage Aura (Mud Pots) and your mez protection (Rooted). As well as some armor Rock Armor). 4: And Teleport itself is all you REALLY need (though Recall Friend is nice), but doesn't need to be taken until either just before or just after Rooted. Here's a generic IO build, interspersed with some important IO uniques (if you don't get them, just replace them with generics of the same color).

In a high Recharge build, there's never such a thing as "too much" Recharge. "There is no such thing as "Overkill". Merely "kill" with ever greater levels of surety."

Yeah, it's more of a "Superman" build. But DAMN if it ain't sexy! With an Agility T3 or T4, you're soft-capped to pretty much everything.

And here's how I'd probably run it. Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

Nononono. SPIRITUAL.

Also, if you want to hit the 22.5 to make sure you get the yellow ring? 1: Enhancement Boosters OR 2: 6-slot Cytoskeleton Hami-Os. Or take a Resilient Alpha.

Move the Steadfast into Unyielding. Sure, it won't exemp as low. But it'll bump your Resists a fraction. Recommend converting the 4-slot LOTG in Invincibility to 4-slot Shield Wall. The +E/N Resist will be more useful than the +Acc. Also, look at using Enhancement Boosters on any generic or non-enhanced IO sets. I'd also look at my build for power selection order. It'll produce a generally better-exemping Tank than your choice order will.

Tankers have better aggro management, higher HP caps, more generally durable . Brutes have greater damage.

"Pure Healing"/"Pure Healer" A phrase that is like strapping me into a chair and forcing me to listen to a thousand solid hours of nails on a chalkboard... I can understand wanting to know what sets provide the best or most stable ally heals. But I find the "pure" concept an absolute waste. Mainly because EVERY character in this game can DPS, Tank and Heal. And since the others on your teams are bringing mutiple aspects to the game, what're you offering? Heals and not much else...

Unfortunately no. I'm pretty much Midwest-based. And Origins and GenCon eat up most of my "vacation" time from my regular job. The only reason I was able to make it to the last "Player's Summit" was because it was announced REALLY far in advance. So I could plan time for it, and pick up tickets on the cheap. However, there's nothing stopping YOU, or others, from tossing a M&G together. Either by itself, or around another event where lots of people from out-of-town will be coming through anyhow.

I tend to run ship raids with my DP/FF Corr. Grade-A Bang Bang!

Good catch! I missed it because your power-order was a bit...weird for how I normally arrange them. And it's not JUST about hitting S/L Resist cap. Ideally you want to bring your Resists up as well. This way anything bypassing your Defenses does as little damage as possible. Here's a bit of a revision. While it's not soft-capped at 1 enemy, it is for 2.

The answer is "Yes you can". If you're trying to max your +Rech, you're likely better off WITH than without. But, if you're simply trying to squeeze a couple extra powers in? Yeah. It'll work. The thing is, the ability to soft-cap is actually more dependent on you SECONDARY than it is on your primary. Also, your attack chain is a bit too long for the amount of slots So it might be a good idea to shorten it up and take some ancillary powers. Combat jumping, Hasten. Hell, even Recall Friend could be useful in Tanker-Stealth missions (run through and TP your teammates into the final room). Here's what I was able to immediately mine out of your setup.

The hard part about actual "tanking" is holding aggro. But that FF build should be hella-durable unless you run into something chucking defense debuffs like rice at a wedding (Incarnate BP).

I've found the SOA to be ridiculously versatile. Blaster wannabe. Scrapper. Team buffbot. French SOA: I do it all baby!

Some of this might also be what I term "stupid camera tricks". In some cases, you have to get the camera positioned properly or you can't actually place items properly.

Right, hypothetical kids. Let's see, my nephew is currently 12 and he played CoH with his parents while the game was still live. How long ago did it shut down? :) 2012. So about 8.5 years ago.

-4 will be fine in most cases. -8 will allow you to effectively tank about 90% of the game. No matter how much you slot, Reichsman is still going to bounce you around. If you have two slots for -KB IOs, you REALLY don't need Acrobatics (and I've always viewed the power as a waste of a pick and slots).

And if you ARE going to tank...
