Glacier Peak

Post the build - maybe you've got something toggled on?

The VEATs are exactly what you're looking for - especially the Arachnos Widow. It's got better than Sentinel ranged and AoE damage, it's got Tank-levels of damage mitigation, it's got lockdowns and soft-controls, and you'll be able to solo +4/8 all content in the game or add fantastic buffs to any team with double stacked leadership buffs. Arachnos Widow can also be male.

Nobody is going to mention that Kheldians don't even get to use their Inherent unless they're on a team? Come on!

At the bottom of the Code of Conduct section for Multiboxing: Multiboxing Policy We allow a basic level of multiboxing on the Homecoming servers outside of peak times. These rules apply on a shard-by-shard basis (by ‘shard’ we mean Torchbearer, Excelsior, etc). If there are less than 1500 people logged in to a shard you may play with up to three accounts at once. If there are more than 1500 people logged into a shard you may only play with a single account. If you are caught multiboxing when there are between 1500 and 1600 players logged in to a shard, you will be warned and expected to log off immediately. If you ignore requests to do so your accounts will receive a 24h ban. If you are caught multiboxing repeatedly with more than 1600 players logged in to a shard, all of your accounts will receive immediate permanent bans. It is your responsibility to monitor server status and current player count if you wish to multibox. You can do this both on our website and in the #live-shards channel on our Discord. An exception to this rule is Hamidon raid zones (The Hive, The Abyss) which have a limited population cap. No multiboxing is allowed in these zones. Breaking this rule may result in all of your characters being removed from the zone and short-term suspensions being issued for repeat offenders Please note that this policy does not apply to groups of players simply playing from the same home/network. It only applies to individuals playing multiple accounts on their own.

That power has an ugly mess of effects and child effects in the CoD listing for Stalker. https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=epic.scrapper_ice_mastery.frigid_wind&at=stalker

This was added with the Bicentennial badge in the last Page update.

There are are twenty five zones that provide Time Capsules spawns (they are using Winter event present spawn locations). These are spread across Hero, Villain, Praetorian, Co-op, and PvP zones, mind you. Each of these zones have upwards of fifty presents each. And these Time Capsules respawn in less than 8 minutes.

I'm a big fan of the animation of the Warburg nukes. I'm a big fan of the Meteor power from the Seismic Blast powerset. I'm a big fan of the Ionic Judgment power. I'm not against another Judgement if it uses the Warburg nuke animation. As for what the power does or its effects - I'd have to see the numbers.

I missed the Widow run too! I meant to play my Widow...

Anyone with knowledge of this, tell me about the.... Moon Base 🌚🏰

To any whomever may be willingly to answer: How has the video game industry changed for you as a professional since City of Heroes was launched?

Good stuff!!!

Did you fight those... giant robots? I was surprised at how often an ambush would spawn while fighting those guys. Seemed like I fought 3-4 ambushes and also Vandal when I was on a 2star ITF last.

I like the Wolverine costume in this one.

Thank you for attempting to answer my question about what would be the trade off if this suggestion were implemented. Saying the Medicine pool powerset is bad is a subjective opinion, which is appropriate given this is a Suggestion and Feedback thread. However, since the suggestion being made is to change the Medicine pool powerset, I am asking for an objective reason to quantify the change. I don't personally care whether someone feels something is good or bad, only whether the change is based on an objective and rational decision (i.e., it follows a design principle). And since you attempted to answer my question, I will in good faith attempt to answer yours. The Medicine pool offers: Aid Other: the opportunity to provide a single target heal to an ally when the primary and secondary powerset of the chosen Archetype does not grant such a power. It accepts Healing Invention Origin sets, which if desired can provide additional set bonuses that may be sought after, and can be made to provide a comparable healing value at lower levels to passing a teammate a Respite inspiration, when slotted for Heal. This could be a power choice beneficial to players interested in improving the survivability of their pets in early gameplay or as a power choice to slot Healing IO set bonus procs (much like Health from the Fitness pool). Players can already choose to remove the Interrupt period by selecting Field Medic, so that is an option if a player desires it. Adding additional range (more than doubling the range from 25ft) would put it at over half of the base range of the Single Target heals from Empathy (Heal Other + Absorb Pain) or Pain Domination (Soothe + Share Pain) all the while costing half the endurance of those powers. Injection: the opportunity for non-debuff powersets to acquire a debuff power against an enemy or a non-buff powerset to offer a buff to an ally. The debuff applies a 15 second -10% ToHit, -10% Recharge Time Rate, and a -10% Damage, which can be coupled with a near capped proc-ability chance (87% chance to proc) of 5 of the 6 Invention Origin sets available to the power. That means Injection can debuff as described before, and do 187 points of combined Ice, Negative, and Smashing damage, and -55% recharge if slotting all -recharge procs, (assuming a player adds five slots to Injection for all these procs). The ally Status Protection can also stack with each application. Aid Self: the opportunity to, much like Aid Other, provide a self heal when the primary and secondary powerset of the chosen Archetype does not grant such a power. It accepts Healing Invention Origin sets, which if desired can provide additional set bonuses that may be sought after, and can be made to provide a comparable healing value to consuming a Respite inspiration, when slotted for Heal. It also grants the player resistance to stun effects. There is synergy when a player chooses to select Field Medic as well, which provides an unenhancecable long duration (though only 8.1 seconds) endurance gain over time. For players who select a powerset without a self heal, this power grants additional resiliency by recovering from damage taken during combat quicker. This power is slightly weaker in terms of healing value than the temporary power available from the S.T.A.R.T. vendor which is not interruptable, however, it is enhanceable, recharges five times faster, and grants the user additional benefits when used with Field Medic. Resuscitate: the opportunity to provide a single target resurrection to an ally when the primary and secondary powerset of the chosen Archetype does not grant such a power. It accepts Healing Invention Origin sets, which if desired can provide additional set bonuses that may be sought after. This power has a rather long activation time (7.33 seconds), which to me implies it was designed to be used after cessation of combat as opposed to Resurrect from the Empathy or Pain Domination powerset pools, or even the Resuscitator temporary power from the S.T.A.R.T. vendor. It fully heals (100%) of the ally's health when used, as opposed to 30% health with the temporary power Resuscitator. Field Medic: the opportunity to provide a 25% increase in healing strength* on self for 60 seconds, in addition to permanently removing the interrupt in Aid Other and granting the aforementioned boost to endurance on Aid Self. This power increases the healing strength* for all other healing powers, not just the Medicine Pool powerset. It allows players to channel their knowledge as a Field Medic to become a more effective healer. Those are the practical applications of the current Medicine Pool powerset. Players are welcome to find the right situations where choosing the Medicine Pool powerset will enable them to achieve their desired objectives more efficiently, or however they wish to measure their activity - whether that be performance or their enjoyment of gameplay.

Brute, Scrapper, or Tanker version? Or all?

The opportunity cost will persist whether the suggestion is implemented or not. It persist across all pool powers. So that's not a trade off, that's a design principle. What's the trade off of implementing this suggestion with the design formula for single target heals and self heals.

What's the trade off? If not interruptable and the range increases, shouldn't there be a trade off that increases the endurance cost or increases the recharge rate based on a design principle? Like keeping in mind this is a pool powerset and it should not be better than a primary or secondary powerset by design.

You can have 15 accounts running at once assuming all servers are under the specified population limit and your computer can run that many. It's mostly memory intensive at that point. As to whether it's good or bad? I'm happy it's possible and the devs made an effort to accommodate such things. Edit: I'll add that I think it's poor form to do so in a team environment if it's not explicitly made clear ahead of time and teammates are okay with it.

On behalf of the community - welcome to Homecoming, Original City of Heroes Team! @Back Alley Brawler @6ix7even @bAss_ackwards @DarkWatcher @Freitag13 @War Witch

For some reason I thought I shared my "all-purpose" build, but if not, and it helps you with your build decisions, please feel free to take a look. I've played this character through every story arc in the game, though I'm happy to admit I am still learning how to play it even to this day. V1_Corruptor (Ice Blast - Cold Domination) - Glacier Peak.mbd Attack rotation (assuming debuffs from Infrigidate, Benumb, Sleet (Perma), Heat Loss are applied against Single Target enemy) is generally Aim, Build Up (with Gaussian Chance for Build Up Proc), then Bitter Freeze Ray, Freeze Ray, Bitter Ice Blast, Ice Blast. It is a clean rotation if you get Hasten perma'd (my build + Base empowerment increase attack rate temp). Ice Elemental is perma, adds a decent amount of damage and the way it's slotted, the Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Build Up Proc goes off every other attack, sometimes twice. This contributes nicely to solo runs against AV/GMs or in a team environment. I like using Bitter Freeze Ray in the rotation as a heavy hitter - the animation time does not bother me. Another option is to take Dominate, Char, or Soul Storm then slot Freeze Ray, Bitter Freeze Ray, and one of those three previously mentioned powers with the Lockdown: Chance for Mag 2 Hold and Devastation: Chance for Hold (Mag 2) then slot for Acc and Mez to do some really great lockdown, even on +4 Bosses. Edit: To your question on your build - it looks fine to me for an all-around build. You've got decent damage mitigation and you'll contribute to a team environment decently enough whether you choose to focus on attacking, debuffing, or buffing.

Good start, glad to see the community sharing their knowledge of VEATs. This has an @Laucianna Kheldian guide feel to it, which I consider high praise. I'll mark this guide and add any insights I have next time I'm playing my Arachnos Widow.

Since the addition of Ice Mastery from the last page update, it's got a bunch of treats an Ice/Cold build benefits from. I would've preferred a resistance shield instead of a defensive shield, but the +Max HP heal, Build Up, and Ice Elementsl pet won me over from Psi Mastery.

Dollface would like a word with you.
