Muppy

Hello! I've got this blaster up to 46 and haven't really gotten a build off the ground yet cause... well, this is honestly the first blaster I've played past lvl 20 in all the years I've played CoX. Before I try playing with numbers though, I want to know what I should take and what to skip, as well as what kind of numbers I should be trying to hit on a blaster. (Do I want to softcap defenses, etc) Here's a screenie of what I got so far since it'd be easier to look at than a bunch of text: In addition to this, I have Fly (thinking of just going full on Jumping), Combat Jumping, Tough, Weave, and Scorpion Shield. Now, I think I can probably skip Fracture but that's all I can think of really. Would Haste really help, or could I go without it? Stuff and things, stuff and things. Lemme know what you guys think and then I'll cobble something together in mids to the best of my ability, then post it on here for more help. Thank you.

Not nearly as much. Most of the time it's my fault since I end up leveling stuff, and I don't do much in Pocket D. Though it can be nice if I'm in a more chill mood, I enjoy field RP more so than RPing in Pocket D.

Alrighty. Took a look and messed around with the build a bit more. Let me know if there's anything wrong with it! I'm pretty sure something is wrong. 😛 EDIT: Totals didn't paste in... Here are the totals if you need to look at them. This is with every defense/resist power enabled, etc: This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.5.9 https://github.com/Reborn-Team/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Tried to update an older post about this build, but it didn't take. Hopefully a new post will help. I was suggested to drop the fighting pool and to fit in powers like Propel, Singularity, Dimension Shift, etc. I'm still scratching my head over this build though. I feel like it could use more but I'm not entirely sure. I'm bad at this and need some help! My only real hope is that I can keep fly in there. If hover can be swapped out, that is fine. Not sure if I hit perma dom/hasten. EDIT: Oof had some tech difficulties for a moment. Tried to edit this as much as possible without it looking like a mess. Anyway, would like to know if there are any suggestions on incarnates as well. Level 50: Agility Core Paragon Level 14: Afterburner

Every time I open Mids with a "new" (aka an existing build from the last version), it will lag. If I open a build that was previously viewed in Mids, it'll open fine... but then the lag problems return if I open a build using Windows Search, even if I have opened it previously. Is this a common thing or is there something else going on?

Interesting changes. Seems odd to drop Distortion Field, but I'll touch up the build in a few and show the results in an edit of this post.

Hello. Here's yet another "rajjy doesn't know what she's doing" build! I just got this sucker through a Synapse TF and it gave him a huge boost in levels (almost 22 now) so I wanna start giving him a bit of a build going. As said, I have no idea what I am doing and people will likely call blasphemy for not taking Singularity. I dunno how or where to fit it in. Maybe if I skip Proton Volley? Anyway, any adjustments would be welcome. The only thing is that I'd like to keep my travel powers. I wanted to go with hover/fly cause rocket boots and RP reasons, but I'm sure others would object and CJ is too good. EDIT: Any tips on incarnates would be great too!

Got it working. No idea what was up. I'll def have to use this build after I get everything done (ouroboros primarily for merits or something. I'm not rich at all). It looks real good. 🙂 And to be honest, BR is far more fitting for the character. I can live without a travel power.

Thank you for the input guys! Though I can't seem to open your build in mids reborn for some reason, Kira.

Ready for another round of "I don't know what I'm doing"? I tried my best to make something decent here, but uh... Yeah. I managed 70% S/L resists and about 30% S/L defense, but as always I feel like something is missing. I've never played these sets to their fullest (Headless is only 16 now) so I'm pretty lost on how to properly build 'em... but then again, I'm pretty lost when it comes to builds in general. I hope you guys can give me some good input! I couldn't think of anything to put in at the end of the build other than Energy Mastery, and my power choices are likely bad, so please tell me why I shouldn't/should pick one thing over another. I'm really trying hard to get better at this, but uuuugh!

Sharkhead is a no brainer. We already go there for Monkeys! How about St. Martial's Golden Giza or around the Jackpot? Or, as someone said in the OOC channel, the hotdog stand in Port Oakes? (I really like that one!)

Thank you for the response. Defenses seem a little low but these sets seem pretty dang hard to get those up. I went with psi cause of concept reasons, but this works better. Thanks again! Edit: And I noticed that power boost makes it better. For all the years I've played this game, I never realized that power boost improved so much stuff on your character. I'm going to love this power.

Builds are hard, but I think this might be the hardest one for me to wrangle with. I love this character (who is only about lvl 21) and I want this to work, but I'm falling short on defense while his S/L resists are hard capped. As always, I'm probably doing something wrong here, and I'm assuming that I should probably slap mesmerize in here somewhere for a good attack chain. The reason why I took the pet was mostly for solo purposes (Target it for heals, buffs, etc). I do plan on teaming with him more once he's respec'd at 50, or I can just jump into team only stuff with him asap. I tend to try and go with a build as I level up, but eh. This may be an exception, I guess. ANYWAY!

Hey there! I got an Illu/Pain that I have yet to roll out a build for (one I will likely need help with later, but we'll see. Maybe I'll do a decent job this time!). I was wondering if there are any powers that could be considered skippable. I know the pets are a must, but should I worry about getting deceive? Part of me wants to get that, but if I'm in a group, Deceive seems like something I may not really need... and with pets, even less so if they're just gonna crush, scare, and blast everything in their way. And of course, there are some of the pain skills. Soothing Aura seems kinda eh, but if you guys think otherwise, I'd like to know. Anyway, thanks ahead of time! I'll eventually post a build for you guys to hopefully help me out with. I'd love to get something good going with this little guy. He's mostly conceptish (picked Sorcery up cause of this!), but I want him to be a functional one if possible.
