Doesn't it use the science origin syringe animation?

I have a 50 sentinel with both AR and Archery. I like the archery one more. I can't say if that's because of the animation, their respective style/associated costumes, or actual combat performance, (or some combination thereof), unfortunately. My AR one has invuln as their secondary and feels more tanky, but the archery one has willpower, and as long as you can withstand that alpha hit, your regen will be super high so you'll stay in the fight.

It would take up much less space if you modified it to just be a topper for your existing table...

I've been wanting to try something different, and after kind of failing to find a primary and secondary pairing on a dominator that I really liked, I went with something quite different, a Titan Weapon/Ninjitsu Scrapper - "Exposed Shadows"...

I recently rolled a titan weapon character, and those powers explicitly state that they do not benefit from from range increases: For example: "Editor's Note: Arc of Destruction is unaffected by Arc changes."

No, Rogue steals super powers and memories, but not necessarily all their fighting skills and techniques, and not permanently unless she basically puts them in a coma or kills them. Plus, she needs bare skin-to-skin contact. From my understanding, Task Master can basically observe someone fighting and then utilize their style. He has a copy of Captain America's shield and use it almost as effectively, for instance...

Some of my thoughts, in no particular order:

I rather liked the first few seasons of MHA, but I kind of lost interest when they got to the arc where the villains were "training" and started unlocking all these new powers. That being said, and while the game may be fun, I prefer the style of game where you create your own original character and get to take them on their own journey. Maybe it'd be more interesting to me if you got to create your own character within the MHA universe and experience events from their perspective. Also, and maybe I just missed it, but are there any "badass normal" heroes in MHA?

I thought his schtick was copying other supers' moves/techniques/fighting styles...

Heck, even allow it and the triage beacon to switch models. For that matter, how about any of the DE "emanators"...

At the very least, timed missions should have some sort of clear indicator or icon that they will be, in fact, timed, (before you accept them, of course)...

Consider radiation melee - you get a damage aura that SR lacks, a self heal that it is also missing, and can deal additional AoE damage via the "contaminated" effect.

IMO, a "tank" is really the one who gets the attention of enemies and keeps them on him or her in order to protect their teammates. What happens once they get that attention and how they handle things is where the super reflexes come into play. As others have mentioned, Spiderman is a good example of someone with extreme agility, who also excels at getting an enemy's attention. Generally speaking, though, comic book characters tend to be more multi-role as the situation needs it; Wolverine can tank, he can scrap, he can stalk. Heck, the Invisible Woman can tank periodically, (though it tends to wear her down quickly). There have even been instances where Batman has gotten the attention of enemies to aid an ally, and relied upon his agility to keep from getting plastered. The Martian Manhunter can distract enemies then rely on his phasing to avoid attacks as well. One important point is to not get hung up on what a power set is called, but instead look at what it does and how it functions. "Defense" in CoH can be just as much about having a really powerful forcefield or strong armor that prevents attacks from reaching you as it can be about extreme agility.

Give this a try: /bind = "powexectoggleoff bright nova$$powexectoggleoff white dwarf" Then you just press the = key to revert to human form. Change "bright" to "dark" and "white" to "black" for Warshade instead of Peacebringer, as needed. *NOTE: If for some reason you cannot use the = key, you can substitute pretty much any other key you like.

I very much like the revamp to necromancy. I had a harder time selecting a secondary and APP/PPP, so went with a combo I already had & enjoyed, namely cold domination and mace mastery.

I'd also like to see a tintable version of the official belt, which they already added a 2-holster version of.

I suspect something is "off" with that one power...

I was trying to explain the need/reason for "Arcanatime", not why there was this unexpected pause after that particular power.

From my understanding, there are 2 components at play: 1. The game needs a brief pause to determine that animation A has stopped and now animation B can play, and... 2. There is a certain minimum amount of time the game needs between you inputting a command to activate a power on your client, then checking against the server to make sure said power is in fact ready for use and that there aren't any other conditions that would prevent you from using said power, (valid target, valid placement of you and the target, etc).

There are other ways to generate or maintain energy in CO, (called "secondary energy unlocks"), but the game does woefully little to inform you of that fact, and if you are freeform, they open up even more possibilities. While there are some very good powers and a lot more flexibility in builds, (if you have access to the aforementioned freeform slots), by using those powers, it basically becomes a waiting game until you can access those heavy-hitting powers, since many many powers have no cooldowns at all - if you have sufficient energy, you can just keep spamming them. The biggest turnoffs about CO for me are the plasticky look to all the character models, the goofier hyper-exaggerated animations, having to worry about gear, and a dearth of content to get to max level, (40), unless you grind alerts or go to the Apocalypse zone, which hasn't received any meaningful updates since it was added. Trying to make Star Trek ship combat more dogfight-like was a big mistake, and I have almost no interest in leading squad-battles on the ground. I, admittedly, never played STO for very long, but it just felt like everything was clunky and un-fun.

Regardless of the difficulty you plan on running at, there are really 3 things I think make any character's life easier. Those are: 1. Status protection so a stray mez effect doesn't ruin your day. 2. Some sort of bonus recovery or +end power so you aren't constantly gasping for air and unable to use any of your powers. 3. Some sort of self-heal, (preferably uninterruptable). There are many power sets and combinations, across multiple ATs, that fit the bill, but some that stand out to me are: Dark/SR Sentinel Water/Bio Sentinel War Mace/Ninjitsu Scrapper Energy/Energy Stalker Shield/Radiation Melee Tanker

I keep trying to create spooky or scary costumes, but just can't seem to hit the mark. Regardless, this is one I came up with for a Mind/Elec Dominator, "The Shocking Reveller":

I've had tremendous results with both a dark blast/super reflexes sentinel and a soldier of arachnos crab spider. Both can solo excellently, with the sentinel being basically untouchable, and the crab spider playing kind of like a blaster and mastermind all in one. If you want something more straightforward to play, a radiation armor/savage melee tanker is nearly unstoppable and quite fun as well.

If you look at this page on the Wiki, enemies higher level than you will have a greater chance to hit, so that "50% chance to be hit" will actually be higher, vs a +4, and even more so if they are of LT, Boss, or any higher rank...

Got mine in this month. Keep up the great work!
