HellsFury

Thank you. I opened up my version of Pines just now and I don't see any update menu item. Plus I think that the Hero Designed 2.23 is in collaboration with Pines, but is not Pines (not that I understand these details :) ). Edit: I found the answers in The first page of the thread has a link to "Setup Installer" that is all I needed, then you can update to the most recent version once Mids is opened by going to Options > Check for Updates now.

I figured out how to download the zip file and extracted it, but now I am clueless as to how to install it 😞

NateWest1987 posted his build using Hero Plan by Hero Hero Designer 2.23, How the heck do I download that version? I clicked on the link, but gave me a page that looked like a lot of development notes and with my lacking adequate patience I couldn't figure out how to download the program. I have Pines 2.21 currently and his build crashes in that. I also searched for Hero Designer 2.23 and 2.22 was the latest thing that showed up in Google. Sorry for being lame/impatient.

I hate to ask a question that seems so simple, but I truly don't know how to track this. I do know how to monitor def/res, but I don't know how to monitor Acc/Dam. So, what is the best way to know when you are capping damage? I have no idea how many reds to pop.

I came up with something yesterday and bought all the IOs and did a respec. I am hoping to try it out tonight to see how it does. I will try and figure out how to post a build to the forums, I haven't done it before.

Thank you very much.

Someone here said that you could get the set bonuses for both the regular and Superior versions of ATOs; such as Brute's Fury and Superior Brute's Fury each 6 slotted in 2 different powers. At least that is what I felt they said. I am in Pines working on a build right now and it let's me place both Frozen Blast and Superior Frozen Blast in 2 different powers in the same build. I am leery as to whether this is just an oversight on Pines part. Sorry for needing to ask this, I just don't know where to look up details like this. Thanks in advance.

OK, thank you.

Giving this one a bump to the top since I would like to hear the answer.

From what I understand, I have to talk to Null the Gull in Pocket D and convert over to being a Villain. Then I have to do a Patron story Arc from Scirocco. My question is whether there is an Ourobos area on the Villain side where I can get immediate access to the story arc or whether I just find the contact and she will give me the story arc (I'm level 50). I don't want to convert over to the Villain side until I am immediately ready to do this because I will be doing it for my son and I don't want to render the toon useless to my son in the mean time. Thanks for any input you might have.

Sorry, I missed this response and I see it as a very important one..... and this was something I was actually wondering about because I was thinking to myself that back in the day that I only had lvl 50 SOs slotted, I didn't think when I exemped down to say lvl 35 that I lost all my enhancement benefits. Let me try and summarize what everyone has informed me of regarding a.) IO set bonuses and, b.) the enhancement values themselves: 1.) Set bonuses for IO sets are kept a.) When exemping as long as you don't exemp more than 3 lvls below the lvl of enhancement. - Attuned enhancements will adjust down to your lvl within the confines of the lvl range of an enchancement. -So, if you are exemping to lvl 25 but the lvl range of the set is 30-50 then that set bonus won't be active. b.) Purple sets always keep their set bonuses -Ed_Anger said in this thread that Purple Enhancements are always good, but I could only find the info on the set bonuses being good and I was figuring that the enhancements themselves wouldn't work, but what Constantine said in my quote above clarified this. The reason why I couldn't find this specifically about purple enhancements (not set bonues, bu the enhancements themselves) was that this is true of all enhancements which of course makes great sense! So the value of Attuning is: 1.) If you buy them early they will lvl up with you as you go which saves you from constantly replacing enhancements as you do with DO's and SO's and such. 2.) Once you are lvl 50 they will help you keep you set bonuses when exemping But the down side of Attuning is: 1.) Once you are lvl 50 you may as well have purple sets because -they have great set bonuses -you can boost them for even greater benefit -you don't lose set bonuses when exemping -you don't lose the benefit of the enhancements themselves while exemping. Does anyone have information on the following? I had read somewhere that boosting an enhancement also does something good to the set bonuses, but that was all that was said.

Yes, thank you. I started to do this very thing earlier tonight. I’m excited. Can’t wait to have the destructive power of my original HellsFury from 2004 when I was allowed to fill all 6 slots with damage for all attacks and slot accuracies into my targeting drone. She was fire/devices. Mine today, HellsFury X, is fire/fire. Can’t wait to play her with my son and show him how fun it is. 🙂

Thanks guys/gals. I wish I read this when you wrote your responses (I was on vacation and then got buried in work upon my return). It turns out that I did in fact slot it in tacits, I will change it over to BuildUp per the suggestions from you all.

Sorry, I was on vacation and forgot to check back on this when I got back. Thanks for this bit of advice, I had no idea that ATO are Attuned. I will have to hunt down all those rules.

Thanks for all the helpful answers guys and gals. I do have the funding source, I started a spines/fire brute upon returning to the game and I am shocked at how fast such a tune and pile up influence. I am not sure of the total I have earned, but over a billion for sure (pretty sure I could do a billion a week). Problem is that my son and I have made something like 25 toons in the last month :). I just figured out last night before going to bed that you have have multiple builds on a toon and you can switch between them. I hadn't ever noticed this option because it is less that obvious to people like me.... When visiting a trainer there is an option that saying something like "rename your build" (I am at work so I can't check the exact wording), but if you choose that you get to another screen where you can switch to a 2nd build and essentially respec your toon, but also keep your original build. So, I believe I likely will have a build that I play lower level content on using mostly Attuned enhancements, and a build that I play higher level content on (I believe I read that you get access to a 3rd build at level 50 as well). One thing I don't yet know is if you are required to buy/build a whole new set of enhancements for the 2nd build, but my assumption is yes you do (which is fine). Does anyone know if you play multiple lvl 50 builds on one toon if you have to build all the boosters for the incarnates slots for each build or whether you can share them between builds? Again, I am assuming you have to build all the boosters for each toon build which would be tough in my opinion. Again, thank you all so much for all the advice - everyone had useful things to say, much appreciated.
