Better question why are you taking the pathetic damage personal atttacks to begin with? I never get these unless I absolutely have nothing else to take. There are far better uses for endurance. There are just not enough slots to be wasted on these attacks. Aside from the whips looking cool I can't think of a single reason to take these attacks.

This really only helps perma doms. The current fire summon that happens goes a long way to help the piss poor damage doms get before pets. I have always felt the damage needs to be tweaked or move the more hard hitting powers down a lot further, like level 10. No harm in letting them get stuff like Total Focus at level 10. Also the whole recharge/damage/end formula they use needs to be thrown out. No reason weak ass powers need to have such long recharges. A lot of powers in the game are treated as if they will out do blasters and scrapper and we know that is isnt going to happen.

I think when PVP happened we lost a ton of players because of all the PVP related nerfs. I know for a fact Regen would not be in the shape it is today if PVP never came to COH/COV. Stalkers would not have gotten the recovery passives removed from a lot of powersets. Considering how we got things now it would not take much to change the existing powersets to add the recovery powers back or give an alternate choice like they did with Sentinel SR where you can't take both powers. Make so you can either choose toggle or click instant healing but not both.

I can't believe I missed seeing this as a change. The only problems I ever really had with pets was the melee thing with range pets and how Ninja die when the wind blows in their direction. The way things are with Ninja I just can't do incarnate trials because the pets die too fast to do anything. This is even with all 6 globals and a resistance buffing secondary and level shifts. My hope is that we get some incarnate alpha or other power that can help with this at some point.

I wanted to give this set a try again but had a few questions what is the deal with the Practice Brawler vs Master Brawler? Are they both clicks? Based on the description it looks like one gives mez protection but the other gives an absorb? It does not look like a good trade off. Is the description of the power kind of off or missing something?

If you made a hero or villain but didn't start on yellow side how do you get back there?

There is an Emote under actions that is greyed out. I remember on live servers there was a Ghoul tantrum emote, how do I enable this on Homecoming?

Does anyone know if the chance for build up proc works in Lightning Storm?

What I mean by this is what powerset works better due to the fury mechanics and how the brute playstyle works? For instance damage auras work better with brutes due to the fury damage. I am looking to try a few things out.

Hi all, I recently saw a tanker tanking Recluese on the MLTF. Normally when I see people do this its a game of keep away until the red tower is down. But this time it was different. He just stood there and just taunted. His health bar didn't appear to move at all. Normally when I see someone try to do this they get 1 shotted and there ends up being a team wipe within 10 seconds. My question is how is a tanker with the radiation primary able to stand toe to toe with Recluese and not get 1 shotted before the red tower is down? I have seen granite tankers get 1 shotted so I am trying to figure this out.

Don't think you are just locked into having a specific alpha. Overtime as you play on you will have enough to make more than one to tier 4 and the very least tier 3.

I thought it was just me on this. It's usually within the first 2 minutes of the team.

So last night while doing a TF we had several near wipes on a TF. This was my first time really tanking since live servers. At first I was thinking it was me being a bit rusty at getting and holding the aggro but by the last mission I realized it wasn't me. There was a blaster going ahead of the group into the next two spawns and pulling everything back to the team. While at level 50 this probably wouldn't be much of a problem, at low levels most of the team will not have the Powers to deal with this. Needless to say I had to put the blaster on notice for getting us killed repeatedly. Have any of you had to deal with this kind of behavior in groups?

They should have just used another word than EPIC because players are not going to think like that which is why it got brought up so much on live. I remember bringing it up on Live as well. The khelds for the most part are a just a bad parody of the Gau'old and Tok'Ra from Stargate.

Just checking, have any Beam Riffle/Regen Sentinels been made and if so what did you slot for your Alpha and why?

Some the wussification was needed in order to make teaming better. Quantums should never have been in the game to start with. Khelds were and still are way too weak for something to be called epic. The whole cyst thing was just flat out wrong. Causing teams to wipe repeatedly over one damn cysts. What made matters worse is that the enemies that were specific to khelds could still smell the kheldian funk on the team members even after they got kicked from the team for the cysts team wipe. You literally had to log everyone off and back on again to get rid of the smell so the enemies would stop showing up later. The perma dom thing I still think they needed to revisit that. The investment to make them on par with controllers is too great in my opinion. Its not like they kill stuff that much faster than a controller does. I did enjoy the crashing nukes because they did more damage. If we could have an option to nuke at full force with the penalty of the crash but make the target cap much higher like 32 targets. They would have to increase the herding cap for tanks for this to work well. What I would like is for them to do away with speed running but not turn everything into a kill all as that gets ridiculous with some of the maps and missions. Maybe give bonus merits for killing 95% of the map or something. These days you literally have to announce this is not a speed run before doing the TF just to keep folks from trying to speed run it when you want the xp or threads for the kills.

Yes the game has been wussified over the years but this was after a huge drop in power everyone experienced with issues 5 and 6. From there the power levels keep creeping up to what they were in some cases before that time with the help of inventions. I feel that there is nothing wrong with this because we are supposed to be super hero/villains after all. Not being super just means we are slightly more than average. Overall the entry level to get to that level is pretty much gone such that with a smaller amount of effort even a casual player can get fully IOed out even with purples. Again nothing wrong with that because this game thrives off of making alts of various power combinations. Making it easier to gear alts means people are more likely to make more alts and keep playing. I have 5 characters I am focusing on right now. I have created 37 characters since starting a few weeks ago. 4 of those are level 50, 2 of those are fully IOed out.

Where is the info for pages 1 and 2?

Just send a petition. They are pretty quick about changing the name. My current SG is a parody of various anime characters. None of them have the same name as the actual character. Costumes are similar and the powersets are not an exact match because some of them don't exist yet. One character is a parody of two characters rolled it one.

Right now I almost exclusively do TFs starting at level 11 going forward. Nothing else rewarding enough for the time investment. Once the game becomes legit I might come consider grinding out missions to get my badge character finished out.

He was definitely American. 😁

Can we get some guidelines on what we can and can't do? I thought likenesses were okay you just can't name them that. If I made a Dr. Strange as a character, using the likeness but calling him Dr. Weirdo instead would this be okay?

Just wondering if Rogue and Vigilante can get the reward twice? Do both LRSF and Ms Lib TF and both Hami raids for red and blue to get 4 enhancements?

Thanks for the replies on this. I was wondering if the Powers had changed but the description was not updated and maybe I missed something. I guess I can just ask the players the next time I see this again. I can let them know what inventions can do.

Lately I been seeing a lot of players with weird build or Powers that don't make sense. For example I have seen invulnerable tankers taking and using acrobatics. Empathy defenders with aid self and aid other. Stalkers using invisibility instead of hide in PVE. I get there are role playing players but choices like this are a huge waste.i could see if these were io mules but they didn't have a single set bonus.
