@ Heatstroke member of Titans United and Titans Elite on Justice. That dude Sniping the Mitos from ridiculous range outside the Goo on Hami Raids.. yeah that was me...

(whisper voice) do it.... you are the main tank...

Do it....

Ice... Do it... Im currently running an Ice/Spines With Energy Absorption is soft capped for Incarnante Stuff. I have Perma Hoarfrost for Healing/Hp Boost and still have hibernate in my back pocket. Bio would be a good build but with Ice you leverage Icicles Damage Aura, and Chilling Embrace's - recharge and - damage to foes. The only thing you dont have is high resistances to anything other than cold.

Thank You for this info. It was very helpful

And with that logic in /Time I could have a ton of recharge, Temporal Mending and Chrono Shift which actually adds on even more healing. AM does not add more regen. It adds Recovery. It doesnt boost healing. I have a Rad/Rad Corruptor. Perma Hasten and and Perma AM. Radian Aura Heals for 230 HP rounded up. RA recharges in 2.2 seconds I have a DP/Time Corruptor. Perma Hasten and Perma Chrono Shift. Temporal Mending heals for 407 and adds Slow Resists and -Regen Resistance and recharges in 3.61 seconds. I see a few saying that RA recharges faster so you can spam it more as if it will heal more.. lets test that theory.. Lets take 10 second of time. RA @ 2.2 seconds recharge thats 4.54 possible activatione in ten seconds which is 1044.2 HP TM@ 3.61 recharge is 2.77 possible activations in ten seconds is 1127.39 HP. So it STILL out heals RA in the same time frame. Both being level 1 powers on the SAME AT. and it adds Slow Resists and - Regen.. Now figure in Chrono Shift running as well Chrono Shift on my DP/Time Corruptor adds another 280HP per activation and 11 ticks of 47HP over time. AND buffs recovery and recharge time.. Radiant Aura IMO is lacking.. It needs something else.. maybe a small buff, maybe some regen deff resistance.. Im not suggesting that it gets a Major overhaul.. It just needs something..

I fully understand that transfusion can miss and requires an enemy.. The point is however even with that.. It heals for far more, and had a -regen component attached to is as well. My point isnt " make radiant aura as strong as transfusion " my point is that it is one of the weakest heals and adds nothing else. It needs " something "

I think this are the two choices I am down to. Ive pretty much done every other Secondary accept these two.. Just looking for opinions of people who might have made these..

Some + Regen would be nice.. It needs something..

Im not advocating taking over the job of an empath or pain dominination but looking at my on my Fire/Rad conroller maxed out it heals for 223 points. On My Rad/Rad Corruptor it's 233 points. Thats just pathetically low.. It's almost skippable as a a power because its so low. And all you get is a crappy heal.. Conversely my Grav/Time Controller Temporal mending gets a Heal of 174, 5 ticks of 47hp which ads up to 409 Points and its available at level 1 just like Radiant Aura.. AND it also gives Slow Resists AND defense against Regent Debuff.. Once you stack it with Chrono Shift is you get more healing. Transfusion will heal for about 458 points Maxed out and provides -regen... Radiant Aura needs a buff.. come on Devs.. it needs something...

pew pew...

Here Here... Well Said !!!

I hadnt done one of these in like what 15 years and I one was on Excelsior yesterday.. wasnt able to play long but it sure brought back some memories.. Thank You CoH Tank Community.. and once again I was the only Ice/Spines tanker I saw there...

It wasnt erased. You never saw it.. and you didnt have the temerity to go back and admit that you stated that I made TWO posts.. when I made THREE. You jumped into the end of a conversation which had died.. and decided to throw in your two cents and revive it.. but Ive got plenty of time for the smoke. And my last two comments did not negate my prior comment that range is NOT underrated.. I stated how I have used range to my advantage on my characters.. But sure make me the bad guy For stating 1) its your game, play however you want to play 2) Dont let someone else pigeon hole you into THEIR idea of whats correct 3) and saying there is no WRONG way to play. Im here for the smoke...

Actually I made three posts.. And the first was the encouraging one.. sorry you missed that one.. carry on..

When the advice is given in a less condescending " you're doing it wrong, you should be doing it this way " attitude.. ill respect it..

This has always been the one thing often grinds my gears on CoH. Somebody telling you that the way you are doing it is wrong.. and that you should be doing it this way.. Play however you want to play.. I like my blasters staying at range.. There is no WRONG way to play..

My short answer is YES.. range is underrated.. not everyone is built for it, and I would think most people dont think to take advantage of it. One the original forums there was a guy names SnipeFu who wrote a guide about Snipes and using range to your advantage. After getting the crap stunned out of my by a Tank Boss I took that guide to heart. My first every character Airhammer in his original build had three damage range Hami-Os in every attack. My SG mates used to joke that I would finish the missions from inside our SG base. I would show up to Hami Raids and take out Mitos from outside the Goo.. Currenty because he is more of an IO build now.. he has a level 53 Centriole in almost every attack. PowerBolt has 146 range.. 194 if Boost range is up... The Snipe 275 range. 364 with Power Boost up.. and one if his favorite tactics is to Mix Power Push in with attacks to keep foes at a distance with knockback and continue to pummel them from a distance. He is a master of SnipeFu. Even Energy Torrent which is normally 40ft range is now standard blaster range of 80'.. yes range is VERY underrated IMO

I took all the offensive powers.. but I dont have things like Boxing Tough and Weave, which I am OK with on this build. Sometimes you have to let your teammates shine..

Lets see... My Fire/Rad Sent uses Fire Cages to keep everyone nice and bunched together to keep mobs scattering from Rain of Fire. And uses Fire Sword Circle as part of his PbAoE attack chain with Fireball @ close range, Ground Zero and Inferno.. That works pretty good. My Dark Bio uses Dark Mastery Netherworld Tentacles and Engulfing Darkness in combination with Umbral Torrent and Dark Obliteration as a Nice AoE Spam.. and since the immobilize keeps them in place They are all nice and bunched for Parasitic Leach.. AND Netherworld Grasp gives a very nice attack with 5 damage procs... My Water/Ice uses Ice Mastery Frostbite to keep everyone bunched up for Whirlpool. Now they cant run out of Whirlpool and they take ALL the DoT from it.. And Block of Ice is a nice place for 5 Damage procs ( hmm mayge I should call it Block of Nice ) Elec/Elec uses Electric Mastery Chain Fences to once again.. Immobilize everyone.. and keep them in place for Short Circuit/Power Sink combo to drain them.. Its -End along with Lightning Field from the same pool damaging and ticking -end... to keep their end floored.. which in turn helps trigger the Shocked Mechanic so they take even MORE damage... And lastly Psi/Regen uses Psi Mastery uses Mass Hypnosis to just put everyone to sleep. Hits Psychic Focus, Psychic Shockwave and then Psychic Wail.. and Once again.. Dominate very nice attack with 5 damage procs.. What did Eric Clapton say ?? ITS IN THE WAY THAT YOU USE IT....

The whole point is that they are designed to round out a character. None of these powers should be significantly better than the T9 in your primary or secondary set.

This is my current live build for my Elec/Elec/Elec Sentintel. I always say.. use this to give you some ideas but tailor to YOUR desires. I built my guy around the theme of a super speed character who channels an extra dimensional energy he calls " The Juice " ( speed force essentially ) He can generate and drain electrical energy. He doesnt have high defenses. He can boost the recovery of others. Learn to make your own builds around your ideas and playstyle. There is no ONE WAY to do things.
