I actually pitched this to the Dev team. I had an outline on this and story and sent it in. I was hoping it would be a DFB/DIB style short TF thing. 🙂

I am betting OP's 'creative' hobby is beating up young children and taking their candy. 🙂

Thank you very much for your valued insight.

Good insight. I usually make toons that can play in any situation and I team. So, damage isn't a huge issue and I am good at softcapping D and Res when practical. The game isn't getting a ton of new things to do so I am looking at other ways to enjoy the game. I decided to try one of these big game hunters. A while ago, I tried the proc monster route. Interesting concept and fun too but it too has its warts.

Le sigh...it's also an opportunity to discuss all things relevant. Not just AT and powers. Tricks, tips, temps etc. If a mod wants to move this then no problem. All good. I try not to worry about this stuff. Anyway, enjoy. You're welcome 🙂

I appreciate the banter! I am looking at running out a toon. I've been inspired!

Right. Nice of you to come in and direct traffic. Awesome. Anyway, I started this discussion to discuss ANY AT and power combo. Maybe some others will chime in and suggest other ATs etc. I just never really went out to design this type of toon but may try it out.

Ok so I kinda like the looks of the Ill/Dark. I took a look and made some adjustments to it. How do you all think this guy would work out for regular and big game hunting? Controller ill Dark troller ice.mbd

Any chance I could get your builds? I am good at making sturdy toons but then struggle in regards to something like this. I'm hoping for a AV/GM killer without incarnates. Damage, recharge and slotting help needed. I understand those to combos are good but is one better than the other?

Yeah, I was messing around with some builds and it does look challenging in a way...but I may still give it a go! Do you have a build by chance?

So, I am wondering which AT and power combo would make for the best AV/GM killer/arrester. Altitis has hit me hard and I am now wanting to make some different toons etc. Please include a build 🙂 Happy hunting and discussing!

Controller - Symphony Control - Sonic Resonance (1).mxd Hey all, I wanted to make an inexpensive Controller for general play but it would be nice to also make an AV etc killer. Is that possible on this combo?

Fascinating. Do you have a build by chance?

I haven't read this thread. Leave him dead. It was a last ditch effort to generate interest in the game and I don't think it worked. Nor was it worth it. Sad but this is what happens when you're literally under the gun. I believe there was an AMA Matt Miller thing where he was absolutely wanting to bring him back. Well, not the same guy but ....I won't ruin it if anyone wants to go look it up. Anyway, I think it's really dumb to do anything linear in an MMO or game to that extent. Leave him be and forget about it. Make new heroes and missions and so on...

So, I continue to try powers that I never really tried before (here or Live). Can anyone chime in and discuss the merits of having an ice shield tank? I guess it's mostly a DEF set with some RES. What are the pros and cons to this set? Anything I should skip and, conversely, what's essential? Any and all input is much appreciated. Lastly, I'd really love some builds! Maybe an Ice/SS tank? Both are sets I haven't take too far.

Wow. Sorry to hear about all of this. It's heartbreaking but glad you're surviving. Keep up the good fight and I hope to see you in game ASAP. All the best and my condolences for your loss. Time...still undefeated...we're all getting older and experiencing the sad aspects of life that accompany aging.

Does anyone have an awesomesauce build for this super defender?!

So, I am on a bit of a DEF kick! Thanks to all who discussed Thermal on my other post. I am also wanting to make a Dark/Dark DEF. I know it's a popular build (or was). Can people chime in if it's still a good one? Is it as tough as it used to be? And what would your epic/ancil power be? Posting builds would also be awesome! 🙂

Thermal is a pretty busy one. I somewhat agree with your take on Fire but I almost always team so the lower damage is often mitigated. I tried a couple of proc monsters and you sacrifice a lot of set bonuses to proc out powers. I would rather not do this as, again, I team. For solo players, I guess it's a different story.

Wow some great info on the powerset. Thanks a ton, all. I went in a bit of a different direction: Thermal/Dark. Any builds on that combo?

Any chance you could hold Gaia as well as Jade, Achilles and Aegis for me until I get home from work? 7pm PST-ish.

Does anyone have a Thermal build? I think I want to try Therm/Sonic. I'm not sure how to slot and assign stuff for this combo but it seems like a good debuff and team helper. Much appreciated 🙂

I don't know if I can play MMs but it would be a nice set for them... I just couldn't get into them. I know some tougher stuff requires heals and debuff stuff and so does some lower level content. I used healing often and enjoy playing at less than uber ability.

I'm working under the premise that new art assets will be rare in this game. I know another server has done some innovative stuff with costume pieces (underarm wings!) but not here. not yet. HC could make larger strides with innovation and new ideas. The content that has been added is not that great. A writer and mission designer would really be a good add. I appreciate and the HC crew and am glad they're kind enough to volunteer and provide us with this game. It's still awesome 🙂 Boy, not on topic at all here! 😉

So, I am a fan of the AT but never see this power (ok, rarely if ever). I have never given Thermal a real chance but feel like I want to take it for a test spin. There isn't much new content so the altitis is kicking in - especially with the Great Name Release of 2024. Can people suggest a good secondary and provide builds? I'm also interested in discussions about the powerset. Is it worth playing? Is there a magic combo? What's your attack chain? Thanks for your time :)
