Apart from the ending sequence, I really like 1:17-1:35...a few misses...phase shifting...then finally a quick 1, 2, 3 for the KO.

Mission accomplished...barely. The action, the music, the drama all of these, and more (thanks Sept) combined to make this video what it is...a masterpiece. If you choose to watch it, be sure to notice the red lettered warnings, regarding CoH shutting down for the last time, at the 10 minute and 5 minute marks. Thanks for posting Doom.

My name is AIB and I approve this event.

Doom the Ham. Who else made an appearance on the video? Roll call!

We may have to do it with Warshades next. Also, my fellow Kheldians, we need to bring back Kheld Fridays!

I like the bonuses, though I am happy that you have determined another way to slot which you find to be satisfactory. I have talked about a few of my choices in a previous post. Here is a link to it... AIB

My name is AIB and I approve this message. P.S. (You might want to put Ragnarok in Fire Breath.)

It looks like you have covered pretty much everything. Joining a team always helps. If soloing one needs the right...build, buffs (e.g. inspirations), abilities, and tactics to get the particular job done. However, job's vary and therein lies the difficulty. Most will find constantly altering their build, buffs, abilities and tactics to match the situation to be too laborious of an undertaking. I think it's important to keep in mind...Whenever you choose for something you choose against something else. AIB

There is much to respond to here. 1. Most players (and builds) are going to experience endurance issues if they are indiscriminately firing off unnecessary powers (e.g. AOEs) over the course of a prolonged battle against a single foe (e.g. an AV or GM). One must always employ a judicious approach in combat to maximize one's potential. 2. If you want to change my build....that's great...at that point...count it as your build. I just hope that you thoroughly enjoy playing it. 3. I could use Ragnarok instead of Positron's blast and this is something that I have been considering. However, keep in mind that whenever you choose for something...you, necessarily, choose against something else. The main reason I have Positron's Blast slotted is because of the boost to range. The extra 10 feet helps me to connect with the maximum number of targets as I am hover blasting. Once again, though, I have seriously been considering this change...but I would not (will not) 5 slot Rag and add the Positron proc...because I place greater value upon the tox/psi resist bonus. 4. I prefer to hover and blast...but that is not always possible. For example...what about the blue cave missions that most of us hate...what about the 2nd mission of the ITF...what about when you hover into a position to get just the right angle so that you can burn (e.g. with breath of fire) the maximum number of enemies but you are...at that point so low to the ground someone takes a swing at you? There are many more examples of which you can probably think...if you would prefer to slot something else in RoFire go for it. (It's also nice to have that power slotted for keeping AVs in place...like Rommie). 5. By slotting Cauterizing in the way you mentioned you missed out on the set bonuses of Preventive...this goes back to the "whenever you choose for something you choose against something else" comment. The Preventive Med proc can save your life. It saved mine while undertaking this solo MoITF...and it can save yours too! However, I also like the Panacea proc...and...the way I have put together my build allows me to retain both. At any rate, I hope that this is helpful. Later Vanden.

The attacks I use vary depending upon the situation...but this is generally true regardless of the AT/player. I like to have both Flares and Fire Blast (and have them enhanced) because they work even when mezzed...you may feel otherwise. Selecting the best attacks...and pacing oneself...are important skills for a protracted battle. I did not notice an endurance issue...and...of course...any issue will become less of an issue after completing the stat increasing accolades and other incarnate powers. (I also run my fire shield at all times.)

K...but...is this a Warshade build? If so that is fine...I do enjoy playing as a Warshade and often make use of Vengeance. In fact, this Blaster may be the only toon that does not have Vengeance. (And when I work Vengeance into my builds I, very often, work it in quite early). I survive the cave by using inspirations (esp. purples), moving quickly, staying on target (I pretty much only attack the crystals) and by using Bonfire and Rain of Fire to keep the enemies flopping and or running for their lives. It took awhile, and, without Lore Pets I don't think I could improve the time all that much (by 15 minutes maybe?). The cpu terminal in stage 3 takes a really long time...as do the AVs...hacking the turrets in this stage helps. On the final fight I simply locked Rommie down with Ring of Fire and circled overhead unloading...occasionally I would take out the nictus that appeared. In between Rommies Rezes you can go and fight baddies to gain some inspirations for the next round. So many factors come into play when trying to accomplish things like this...on any other attempt I may have failed (this was my first try)...all it takes is getting hit a couple of times before being able to react (due to reaction time...or lack of countermeasures (such as inspirations).

I did so because of concept and my preferred way of playing this blaster. I hover around and blast. You are at liberty to swap whatever you'd like. I like Fire Melee Attacks...I have chosen not to make use of them on this particular Blaster build.

Here you go...the best part is the 32.7 def to all positions... http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1547&c=708&a=1416&f=HEX&dc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

I believe that I was experiencing this same issue. I restarted my router and am now able to play.

Same here. I restarted my router and all is well.

I was able to play again after I restarted my router.

I have tried many things throughout the day and have had no luck. Can we get a patch for the patch?

I am having the same issue you've described.
