Heatstroke

HA interestingly enough the TWO characters that I have that DON'T have hasten. Willpower/SS Tank and SR/Street Brute..

This made me do a count of all my characters and LoTG's Global recharge IOs in builds 0-2 1-4 2-6 3-14 4-8 5-19 So basically its like Franks Red Hot.. I put that #&#%@ on everything LOL

Again see builds is not an inidcation of what is good or isnt good. You see a lot of Inv/SS because its a classically icon hero thing. Just think of the sheer amount of characters that fly, are hard to damage and have super strength . Dark Melee has synergy with Inv because Inv is a defense based set and since the main secondary effect of Dark is -to hit, it has good synergy with Defense based sets. EM works perfectly fine. I had good single target damage and decent AoE. Once again just because you dont see A LOT of builds, that doesnt mean the powerset isnt good.

Just because you dont see a bunch of builds for something doesnt mean that it isnt good. Many people play multiple different builds. I myself have probably 8-10 different tank builds that I play across accounts/servers and thats just the tanks. Inv/Em has been around since 'live" 20 years ago, and because its not one of the " newer " powersets it might not get as much coverage as new stuff like Bio, Rad and things that are being built specifically for farming. I always say this... LEARN TO MAKE YOUR OWN BUILDS.. Then you dont need to rely on other people's builds. You will discover what works for you and whats fun for you, and you might find something that isnt super popular but is very fun. And yes I have an Inv/Em

Build your character however you want. Ive used 5 LOTG many times depending on the character. Obviously for some build especially those built with long recharge powers, the more recharge you have the better. But not every character needs that. It often depends on build and what you are trying to accomplish. Unfortunately a lot of people dont learn HOW to build their own characters. They just copy what others do.

Ive been saying for YEARS there needs to be Water Assault for Dominators. I think Dominators are pretty much the forgotten class in this game. Still waiting for Wind Control too.

One of my old SG mates taught me years ago the value of synergy, stringing powers together that compliment one another. I also failed to mention my Storm Blast/Energy Aura Sentinel that uses the Mu power pool of Electrifying Fences to keep groups nice and clumped together for Storm Cell, Category 5 nuke combo and , Jet Stream and Static Discharge, and Chain Lightning for AoE.

This is the build I am currently running for a DP/SR Sentinel. Works pretty good for me. Softcapped well for most things,

Here is my build as it stands currently on Live. With Hasten Hoarfrost is Perma, so having a massice HP boost and Heal up whenever needed in combination with Hibernate really aids survivability. Ignore where the Travel Powers are placed.. pretty sure I changed that just didnt update the build. Hope this helps.

I keep getting this [[Template forums/front/topics/topic is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

This might help also ShiverTankerBuild - Ice Armor - Spines.mbd

This is my current build for Shiv'R. Hope it helps with some ideas. https://api.midsreborn.com/legacy/download?uc=1839&c=756&a=1512&f=HEX&dc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hope this helps. I have forgotten how to place the actual build on the forums

I have played a few Ice Armor tanks. My original tank was an Ice/Stone back on live, but I made an Ice/Spines tank which plays much better IMO. Ice has several things that work in its favor. Chilling Embrace isnt just a good taunt aura (and its one of the best), but it also has a -recharge, and -damage. You get attacked less and you take less damage. Hoarfrost is both a massive HP boost and a Massive Heal. So you can either use it t buff your HP, or use it as a heal and with enough recharge you can also make it Perma. Hibernate is a great OH CRAP power makes you invulnerable while you heal. but your taunt will stop working so you team is on its own for a moment. Energy Absorption. Is not just an End recovery power. It is also a + Defense power. Very Useful when facing things with annoying -defense. I went with Spines because adding in Quills with its -recharge and -spd was great synergy with Ice Armor. I went with Cardiac for my Incarnate Alpha.. Zero end issues.. Barrier for the Defense and Resists... Good Luck killing me..

FINALLY MADE IT !!!!!! tried so many months and couldnt because this community is just so awesome !!!

Absolutely Not. Storm Summoning is absolutely fine the way it is. Ice/Storm Controller Fire/Storm Controller Plant/Storm Contoller Ice/Storm Defender Storm/Storm Corruptor Water/Storm Corruptor STORM IS JUST FINE !!!!

Rad/Fire is absolutely one of the best Sentinel builds.. I am working on a Rad/Rad Sent now to replace a Rad/Rad Corruptor.

Try a Dark/Bio. The survability is incredibly ridiculous.

Im currently working or rerolling my Rad/Rad Corruptor into a Rad/Rad Senintel

I have an Ice/Storm controller and is this now worth slotting for damage? I have it with two recharge IOs but I could move some things around and slot it with 5 Positron Blast. Is it worth it now ?

Ive build a CrabberMind, Bane, Fortunata and a Widow.. but what the heck is a Huntsman ? Thanks

Maybe I'm doing it the wrong way or picking the wrong format but I would like to help when people ask for build ideas. I would like to try to post the build as well as a datalink but I just dont think im doing it right.. any advice would be helpful. Thanks

It would be nice to know if I'm close to getting some Emp Merits before I log in.

Elec/Elec Sentintel Short Circuit/Power Sink/Lightning Field/Ball Lightning used in Melee will pretty much eliminate a foes End Bar, reducing their attacks and making them normally only able to use the weakest attacks Fire/Rad/Fire Sentinel Fire Sword Circle/ Ground Zero/Fireball/Inferno Nuke in melee range melts foes Psi/Regen/Psi Sentinel. Psychic Shockwave/Psychic Wail Melee range pretty good combo Like Clapton Said.. " It's in the way that you use it " Thats the beauty of CoH IMO.. people can have the same powerset and use them completely differently.. and equally as effectively.

I run a Fire/Rad and I dont find myself needing to manage my secondary that often. Maybe the heals every now and then..

EVERYTHING works with /Storm on a controller. The set is that good. I have a Plant/Storm, Ice/Storm, Fire/Storm. All of them work well. Earth/Storm would work very well.. I cant think of any primary that wouldnt work with /Storm in any capacity,.
