    Optimal Brute

    Optimally, by numbers and risk mitigation (i.e. ability to AFK tank incarnate level AVs or mitigate risks against lucky attacks via resists + self heals), it's either /Dark Armour or /Radiation Armour. Damage wise, you're single target is something like TW > Claws > Dark Melee = Stone melee = Super Strength (but double stacked rage crash + hasten crash will drain you over an 5-8 minute non stop DPS fight). Anecdotally I think street justice is also good for Single Taraget but I've never used it. StJ seems good at single target per Damage per Animation Time per mids. Damage wise, you're AOE is TW > Spines
  2. For travelling, if a travel power had to be picked, I'd go super speed since speed pool is almost always desired by most players. Since cloak of darkness already gives stealth, I believe it just doubles up and provides the same buff as celerity stealth
  3. I would - take combat jumping to have permanent defense and combat maneuverability - take super speed and because you already have Hasten from the speed ancillary pool. Also Super speed + cloak of darkness = complete stealth to run to end of missions - if you want vertical flying, id buy the temporary flying power from the p2w vendor I'll take a look at a spines/DA build tonight. Let me know if you want a different primary power than spines
  4. It's in the best interest of homecoming you don't stream due to unresolved legal issues with NCsoft
  5. Essentially, though, a buyout button would imply bid timing, bid amount and bid expiration, like WoW's auction house. I believe the CoH /AH already is a buyout system already, except everyone got different buyout prices.

  7. Your appreciation is all we, the UFC, require.
  8. I do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden! Separately, come to my garden @MunkiLord, it's greener and irrigated with the collected tears of boomers.
  9. My bad, no SS for scrappers. Spines/Dark Armour is an AOE set. Standing there does AOE damage to foes, but you're not as strong in the single target department
  10. When I saw level 54 content, I mean level 54 PI missions, and not iTrials, which are like level 54 (+3). Did you want anything to remain dark? I personally recommend something like Super Strength/Dark Armor, or Spines/Dark Armor
  11. If I may, and let me know if you mean, to re-interpret your "perfection" as "optimization", then microscope the interpretation of "optimization" to mean "optimization for PVE level 54 content". Edit: Do you need to stay within Dark Melee/Dark Armour?
  12. Edit: I misread and thought the OP was also requesting for the ability to /AH incarnate components. Apologies. Carry on. Previous message: If we could buy/sell incarnate components, at least for e-bill players, I would play this game even less than I currently do because I would rather buy my incarnate powers than grind iTrial XXX (usually BAF, LAM, MoM) over and over while praying to RNGesus for VR incarnate drops. Currently, I play to maximize player power via top-end IO builds, T4 incarnates, 4 passive accolades, and e-billing. Of these 4 activities, only the 4 passive accolades (relegated to 8 hours of actual game play) and T4 incarnates require actual game playing. Everything else is AFK or /AH. However, I understand that I may be in the minority as a power-gaming mainoholic.
  13. My top 5 favourites are are Super Strength: 5-second FootStomps.
  14. Earlier powers lack def/resist (e.g. fire/cold) I echo your experience playing a /Stone Armour brute on live, specifically that the powers before T9 miss certain defenses/resists (fire/cold) thus decreasing performance compared to newer armor sets (Energy Aura, Shield Defense) that naturally build up resist/defenses without such obvious holes as you level. I understand thematically that rock is weak to fire/cold (lava melts, ice cracks) but having no resist or defense to something for a tank/brute designed to hold aggro gives the tank/brute little reaction time when taking such damage. Outside of the obvious weaknesses of /Fire Armor and /Ice Armor lacking Cold/Fire resist, I am of the thought Fire/Cold damage should be regularly resisted, unlike rare damage Toxic and Psychic. No issue with T9 obsoleting other powers. I have no issue with the unique design of T9 Granite obsoleting previous Tier Defense/Resist powers AND giving -recharge and -damage. It's power is commensurate to not needing other armor toggles/doing less damage, and this T9 is very unique to /Stone Armor. Make T9 allow some movement However, I think the unique flavour of T9 Granite should remove -speed/jump. For QoL and specifically iTrial tanking requiring movement to avoid damage/death (especially for some Keyes iTrial badges) or aggro new mobs, Granite should naturally allow jumping and movement up to Combat Jumping/Hover, but not Super Speed/Super Jump/Fly. Fights often require movement of the maintank/offtank/such a movement penalty forces your personal speedboost Defender/Corrupter into the danger zone. I think the opportunity cost of T9 Granite should only affect yourself via -damage/-recharge without having bring risk to the other raid members via personalized Defender/Corrupter speedboosting you. Back to mez protection So give T9 Granite all the mez protection it needs without needing Rooted to increase mez protection and increase the player's regen. With such -damage/-recharge, the design philosophy clearly defined the role "Tank Damage" anyways. When exemplaring below T9 Granite, we'll deal with toggling all the other /Stone Armor powers. Separately, as @Captain Powerhouse mentioned, I prefer the direct removal of Rooted requiring you to be rooted.
  15. Look at you being not nig miserly with your knowledge... @Yomo Kimyata was being sarcastic. Edit: And this is me, being Snarky.
  16. We did it guys. After such a long time we finally got it! 1 million per Rare Salvage!
  17. I think those elite mobs, to make them actually elite, could either have "Ignore defense" or "ignore armor" such that sometimes, certain powersets really need the help of CC to engage... just like the old ways.
  18. If it's a reactionary one like break free, it's nice...but seems to defeat the purpose of enemy stun/held mez powers to mean that your character can't activate powers. Could flavour it to say that earth's embrace was the FIRST anti mez power and thus, blessed by Gaia, is able to be used while mezzed. Nevertheless, id rather still keep it as a on-demand heal than on-demand mez protection.
  19. I think there's 2 schools of thought for status protection: either put into earth embrace or make it passive. In line with other self heals, I believe earth embrace should be used as a heal only rather than a status protection because it changes from being an auto cast required power to being an actual on-demand heal. Having tons of run iTrials + badges, I feel an on-demand heal is necessary for any brute/tanker holding aggro for emergencies. Edit: As the devs evolved their armor set creation skills, we saw the standardization of defense + resist + heals across newer power sets such as Energy Aura and Shield Defense. However to keep things flavorful instead of streamline boring, I think Stone Armor could remain powerful by having bonus health regen/defense/res when standing still "draw from the earth" passive that grants increasing stacks of some/all those 3 such that when you are standing still tanking AV, this makes you neigh invincible. This gives the "immovable stone" feeling and reward you for not moving without actual forcing movement/jumping debuffs. This could even be the T9 power instead of Granite's forced slow/-recharge Thoughts?
  20. Your tears. So delicate, so delicious. If you feel comfortable and if I may, the /Market forum and guides give amazing tips on generating influence.
  21. My issues with /SR as a hole are as you described. If other resist-based sets "work for it" they can achieve extremely high levels of resist and are not running around at 40%HP. 40%HP is an unecessary risk when other sets can achieve the same at 100%HP and have high regen, or a direct self-heal. With the entire group running +def buffs through Leadership: Manueuvers and the random corrupter/defender based buffs such as Dark, Storm, ForceField, etc, reaching 59% defence is now a standard rather than a goal. I think we need to define anecdotal versions of "extremely durable", which is calculated as "Layered Defense" by having 3 (well 4) things. Defense + Resist + HP = effective HP. Then adding a heal means you've replenished your effective. Below is Spines/Dark Armour at 100%HP. Although the nature of /SR doesn't give direct resist before taking damage, I hope the Devs can add some mechanic to give "reaction time" for players playing /SR rather than the live/die or Green Candy button when getting hit.

  23. I'm just trying to share some good influence...
  24. Usually converters, but sometimes you can do 1 shot with a winter IO thats low, or purple (Armageddon usually sells fast, check before buying)
