Nightmarer

This is how I would do it, I know resistances are not the same but I've found out with both my Psi/Fire and my MA/Fire Brutes that around 80% res to S/L is enough if softcapped to S/L def. The build lacks a bit of AoE but has good active mitigation with Fault, Tremos and Energy Torrent so I'd go as this if I were to roll one: Villain Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.6.0.1 https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!

What I see is, you did not take one of the best heals in game and took an useless pool instead, endurance consumption with all toggles on 2.22 end/sec which is totally unplayable once you start using attacks which, by the way, are grossly underslotted while other power are totally overslotted and also left out a great dmg mitigation toggle. Also, having 3 defense toggles on just to get your positional defenses between 18% and 30% seems really bad. There's no chance you are going to be able to use Aid Self with said defenses.

I haven't edited anything from my original reply.

This is the one I was planning although in the end, decided to go Tanker but hopefully will give you some ideas: Villain Plan by Mids' Reborn : Hero Designer 2.6.0.1 https://github.com/ImaginaryDevelopment/imaginary-hero-designer Click this DataLink to open the build!

I've personally found that two KB IO's are enough for pretty much everything in the game except maybe a couple things such as combined Fame Nemesis. If you got the space to allocate three though, can't hurt but I am planning my DA tank with just two and see how it goes.

Just a build? I guess it's the new forum way. Anything in particular you guys expect from your char? My usual standing is for ppl to get to know their char, its weaknesses and strenghts and then get a clear idea of what do they want/need for their char but I've given up. You want just a build?

OLA K ASE

I am using both Psi/Fire and MA/Fire, might not be as effective as other combos but I find them fun to play plus I also have them ready for regular content, heck, I even tanked LR in STF with MA/Fire.

Just installed version 2.6.0.1 and found the following issues: Under configuration settings, the "Updates and Paths" section ALWAYS reverts to defaults, no matter how many times I tick the "check for updates on startup", set the new folder path and untick the "Load last file at startup", next time I open it, it's reverted to default. I also noticed something about "Spiritual" and "Agility" Alpha powers. WHatever their rchg buff is, it never appears on totals although the recharge is applied directly to powers, except Phantom Army. Got a troller with 63.94 secs recharge on Phantom Army before Spiritual but said recharge is exactly same with Spiritual and Agility, all other powers recharge is reduced except this one. If I put "Ageless", the recharge of PA is reduced to 53.87 seconds and the Total Rchg Bonus goes from 172.5% to 242.5% but that does not change either with either Spiritual or Agility.

I'd say try T1 or T2 of Reactive and same for Degenerative and see which one does better for you.

There are several types of enhancements sold by vendors. At lvl 40, you should buy your enhancements from the store in either Brickstown or Founder's Falls, there's a specific store for your origin and those are called SO's, you can equip them 3 lvls before the enhancement lvl and they will lose effect gradually during 5 lvls until their effect is zero once you have overlevelled them by 2. Another option are Invention enhancements (IO's) which you can craft yourself (with Salvage that drops while you kill enemies and recipes that also drop or you can purchase at any invention table )or in the the AH under "Invention: Stat" (For example "Invention: Accuracy". These have the advantage that their stats do not decrease by lvl so they offer always same % and the usual rule of thumb is that lvl 35 IO's are roughly equivalent to lvl 50 SO's. At lvl 40, you should have a decent quantity of salvage so my advice would be to equip lvl 40 IO's either crafted by yourself or purchased in the AH and forget to replace them again, those would be solid even at 50, once you get to know more of the game and more of your char, then you can dabble into "Set IO's" which are basically IO's with certain associated global bonuses, but as I said, I'd forget about those until you know better the game and especially your char.

I'd go for Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection besides Laser Beam Eyes. Both are useful with just base slot so you can use slots somewhere else. For what is worth, Energy Torrent is very useful as a form of dmg mitigation since it's not Knockback, it's Knockdown so you won't be throwing enemies around plus also adds some AoE dmg, although not a lot of it. Of all the powers in Energy mastery, Focused Accuracy is the one I find almost useless since Synapse nerfed it. It's still an end hog for what little it offers since it was changed from +To Hit to +Accuracy.

I got plenty of chars without Epic pool for concept reasons although, for a Batman based char, it's a shame Brutes don't get Munitions Mastery as Scrappers do since throwing Shurikens might mimic the whatever gadgets bat shaped Batman throws (can't remember their names, sorry).

This is the one I'm planning for myself when I get to lvl my StJ/SR since I wanted a Daredevilish char. Maybe I'll add a couple purple sets in Exploding Shuriken and Shin Breaker.

Since CoH was launched a few months before WoW, I'd say that the problem was, as always, NCSoft. Had they done their job as a publisher, WoW might have become a mere anecdote and all MMO's out there would be trying to be "the CoH killer" but since NCSoft did nothing for the game except getting money from it, WoW's marketing and publicity made it the most famous MMO ever.

If you are talking AE farm, AE foes are designed to have zero resistance so I'd say the -HP is far more useful. If you are talking farming normal missions, then it depends on which enemy group are you fighting.

DM/Fire is an awesome combination, especially if you softcap your scrapper to s/l def,, which is not really hard.

I'd like Ice Melee or Dual Blades with it but mainly because I have the right concept chars for both of them. If you were pondering Claws/DA then I guess DB/DA is the closest combo so you won't be repeating primary. Stone Melee might also be fun with Fault and Oppressive Gloom working together. Kat/DA is also a good match since the -def from Kat works fine with CoF and DS.

Also, with a bit of awareness and anticipation, end / health crashes can be counteracted upon happening so no big deal. I guess after what devs did to the Blaster nukes removing their endurance crash and reworking them, probably something like that might have been on the pipes for some T9 Defensive sets although, I'm afraid we'll never know.

I once removed OG on my DM/DA Scrapper thinking it did nothing for me, next thing I know, I went from owning ITFs to be perma-vengeance bait. As I said, there's a balance in DA that imho requires of all available tools at your disposal. Maybe OG or CoF are not noticeable against certain groups and yet, they might be your key to survive others. I pretty much plan all DA chars on a similar way, for some reason, I try to keep them under the 1.20 end/sec mark because I guess at a time is where I found the limit to keep them playable or to have them swallow blues like there's no tomorrow. I guess that has changed now with Incarnate tools but just in case, I still try to keep them below that. In this case it's 1.35 with Cardiac Alpha but with Ageless, shouldn't be a problem I think.

1.- Very reasonable indeed, it will boost your survivability all the way. WIth the right sets, you don't even need Weave to get S/L softcap. 2.- I don't have the figure on top of my head but CoD always gives same amount of def, stealthed or not. You can check it in Mid's anytime. 3.- I think CoF is definitgely worthy. DA has a very good balance and all toggles help. Also, the -To Hit will work fine with your softcapped S/L def.
