biostem

I mean, sound = vibrations, and blasters get a few sonic melee attacks, (and that's not including all the other ranged or buffing/debuffing sonic powers)...

I just wish the acc was enhanceable. I agree that the power has *some* usefulness, but the low tohit, (which is the only enhanceable part besides end redux or rech), makes investing slots into it a hard pass for me...

"Woe", or "Woah!"

My general rule is to slot the equivalent of ~2 Acc SOs, or barring that, some combination of at least 1 Acc SO-analog + something like tactics 3-slotted for tohit. Because of how the game works, you'll never hit 100% of the time, but of course you want to mitigate that...

1. Marcone (basic single-shot revolver attack) 2. Button Man (short burst from a tommygun) 3. Hitman (single high damage attack from a sniper rifle) 4. Capo Training (toggle granting minor resistance to s/l/f/c/e/n/t) 5. Consigliere (A special version of propel that only launches "contraband") Or maybe... 1. Protection racket 2. Mugging 3. Extortion 4. Blackmail 5. Drive-by 😉

A big issue is that the regular flight pool now gives you both the flight travel power and the speed boost power, with only 1 power pick. The cloud of smoke idea is neat, but unless it compares with evasive maneuvers or otherwise is on par with the likes of maneuvers, CJ, hover, or weave, I just can't see any justification in such a power...

Another supernatural design - "Flora Slaughter":

"The Abyssal Ferryman":

Hi all! Been trying to get into another support-oriented character, and I really want to give marine a try. How's it pair with dark blast? I'm not looking for a specific build, but any advice, tricks, or tips, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading!

That's the question, now, isn't it? Do you *just* want to attract more people to play some sort of "CoH+", or do you want to maintain the core elements that made CoH what it is/was, and as long as the bills get paid to keep the lights on, is that enough? At what point do you say "this is the game, and here are numerous guides on how to play it", as the appropriate response to "But muh QoL changes!"

Even if they cludged one of the other PBAoE animations from one of the other weapon sets, it'd be nice to have another option for EotS!

Just kind of came up with this one - "The Scorched Moth":

That sounds kinda cool - I only seem to get the glitch where you're under PI... Pasted for no reason whatsoever...

✈️ The shades really sell it!

It would be kind of interesting to have this deal psychic + cold damage; Seems fitting to me...

I would envision a "vampiric blast set" to be something where every power debuffs an enemy in some way, then buffs the character in that same way, (so -dmg for them, +dmg for you), and then you can expand it to other such buffs/debuffs, like -rech/+rech, -spd/+spd, etc...

I could be wrong, but this one, in particular, I envisioned to be a measure to at least make looting a hacked account a bit more difficult, (though the original devs also didn't seem to think creating tons of alts would be a thing, either, admittedly). When you say "seemless", what do you mean? There are co-op zones, where players of all alignments can team freely. The hero or villain-sides are, by design, exclusive to those leaning toward one side of the hero<->villain scale. There are quartermasters in some zones that do sell every type of SO, AFAIK, unless you mean something else when you say "all option enhancements". From a thematic standpoint, the origin-specific stores hero-side at least make some sense...

What would be the rewards for these hypothetical "4-person only" TFs? I'm trying to get the rationale behind devoting *any* dev time on such a proposal...

The most recent episode was ok, but felt more like filler, (had a little backstory for Frankenstein). Dr. Phosphorous is kinda frightening!

I'm a big advocate for the Sentinel (and Scrapper) version of Ninjitsu. I've also had great results with the Sentinel version of SR. Energy Aura is also good, but I'm not as big a fan of it on sents, since you need to enter melee range for energy drain. Their version of invuln is also pretty good...

On a more serious note, what I have noticed is that there's always "that one person" who can't wait like 1 minute to let others get there, so they start attacking, then others let loose, and before you know it, the monster is downed and there's lots of people upset because they wasted a trip/their time...

Yes, but for Sentinel DP, you get the +range from cryo ammo...

Going in a more sci-fi direction, "Refractobot":

Merry Xmas, from "Slay'Belle":

So here's my weird DP/Nin build that somehow gave me 61% ranged, 42% melee, and 41% AoE defense...
