Chalkarts

I've been using IO boosts from my other powers to enhance my across the board damage% just to squeeze a little more pain out of my auras. If I couldn't put a DMG boost on a power I gave it regen.

I've become drunk with power. My RAD/ICE Brute is in his late thirties and is the most laid back leveling I've enjoyed, lol. Initially he had no real focus other than not die, bur I've decided to MIN/MAX his two damage auras and build everything else, IOs and such, to increase their damage. What would a good spread of Proc enhancements to slot into the powers so I can just wander through the weenie crowd and watch them die, lol. It doesn't have to be fast, just steady and survivable.

I'm also planning to boost the knockback from the beam weapon. there are some decent IO combos for +Dmg % among the knockback sets. I'm not sure if the build is decent enough to actually make it to 50, but He looks cool and entertains me. I have too much free time.

I've made a Bots/Forcefields Mastermind. I tend to get hooked on characters based on the aesthetic. I'm hooked. I wanted to focus on the knockback aspects, just for the funnies. This is a purely solo character, Any group would be right to hate me. So if I focused on Defense and Knockback, with some decent procs and damage boosts from IOs, I'm thinking the fights would be long and humorous, but my survivability would be high. Thoughts?

I figured there were probably a lot of these out there so I wanted to hit y'all up and see if there are any powers I should skip or if they all rock. I was going to go with Jump for my movement, and was thinking of a couple of fighting powers as well. I'm trying to keep an all natural, no visible powers aesthetic., Just a Big Barbarian that murders everything with an axe. Would it be wise to IO for regen or should I focus on something else?

Psi looks pretty cool, I'm still not sure what to pair it with. I'm thinking about Dark Armor, and IO kit it for regen so I can take the most advantage of oppressive gloom.

Is Psionic melee at all useful against robotic foes, and what does it go well with as a defense power?

I'm trying to decide what to pair with a shield. I don't want to do Ice or Fire melee. Lightning seems to have some good synergy for AoE but I just don't like their combined aesthetic. Does that leave me with just Super Strength for a Good AoE? Does Martial Arts work well with shield?

Is it feasible to still have a powerful Ice Melee or Fire Melee tank/brute while skipping the sword powers?

Why did this get moved to suggestions/Feedback? I'm not suggesting the game remove the graphics or changing them in any way. I'm asking if its ok to skip them.

I want to play with some ice or fire melee but I have a problem. I loathe the graphics for the sword powers. I don't know why but they irritate me. It's totally a me problem, lol. Is it feasible to still have a powerful tank/brute of either kind skipping the sword powers?

I made a toon several months ago, Water/Rad Sentinel, specifically for an aesthetically distasteful joke character. Didn't really give the combo much thought beyond what it would look like. Now I've totally fallen in love with the combo. Water Blast is awesome. I've been giving him IO set to increase his endurance refresh, Kinda wanna pour the fluids non-stop. Can anyone give me some pointers on taking this combo from chuckles to crusher?

For a character Min/Maxed specifically for knockback, even considering set boosts to KB, What is the Knockbackiest powerset?

I was thinking of combining it with E-blast and making a knockback god. Just flinging mobs about. I looked at a corruptor with Force field for the repeling aura but I didn't feel like, once all was said and done, that it would be as survivable as a sentinel. So I was looking for a good secondary to go with a high rate of mobs bouncing off of walls. SuRef seemed to compliment a constant rapid fire approach, to just pour E-blast powers onto my foes like a fire hose that throws them across the room.

I've been looking at Super reflexes for a while now. The increases Recovery and attack rate intrigue me. I also like that the defenses are locational(Ranged/Melee) I wanted to see if anyone had a SRef character that they were taking the whole way and if there were any glaring holes in their defenses? I'm seeing a lot of good, someone tell me the bad.

I'm looking to make a character for soloing. I want it to be a heavy knockback character. Not the most efficient but flinging enemies makes me laugh. I also hate dying, so Blaster is kinda out. I'm looking at Sentinal with E-blast, Is there a better highly survivable knockback expert than an E-blast sentinel with Willpower?

I love Energy Blast. The Knockback entertains me a lot. I know it's not a party friendly power, tanks understandably hate it. Thats why I've decided to make a Knockback specialist for soloing. Flinging Mobs all over the place will make me happy from time to time. He'll be a side character for when I need a break from my main. So my Question is, What is a good Armor for E-blast? I fiddled around with Energy but am unimpressed. I've got an Ice and a Radiation armor already so those are out. What do you suggest? I was Considering Super reflexes for the speed boost. Thoughts, experiences?

I go to work, My wife would divorce me and then murder me if I skipped work to game. I have a good handle on the hard Consequences of totally neglecting life, lol. I just used to be a creative person with goals. Now I'm a sentinel.

I'm new(?) I've not been in any solid parties since I came back. There've been a few threads trying to define the sentinel and I had a thought. Do groups in CoH pull mobs? It seams like the Sentinel is purpose built to be a puller to send it out into the mission to herd three or four large groups of mobs and drag them back to the awaiting party ambush. Do people play this way?

I feel like they should be able to do enough damage to draw some hate, since they can take the hits. Or maybe have one provoke type attack, just a single good hate generator so they can save it until they need to rescue the blaster. Make them a true Off tank.

I just unlocked Particle Acceleration. Is there any way to increase the recharge speed boost?

I've been playing one for a couple weeks and am loving it. It was explained to me as the CoH version of Iron Man. Tough as hell but fights with blasts instead of punches. Mine is Water/Radiation It's a resistance set, but I'm setting him out for regen so hopefully the damage will be reduced enough that he can just heal it faster than he takes

I've been working on that. I have tons of alarms on my phone. I just get mainlined into something and get hyperfocused. When the alarm goes off I hit the button but I don't listen. I suck at self discipline, but that's a Me problem.

I remember being a hardcore MMO guy back in the day. I abruptly walked away from the genre around the same time as CoH went down.(Not related, just coincidental) In the intervening years I learned a craft, Made a major move, gotten married, and started writing a book. Then, One night I was surfing around Youtube and saw a vid, Upcoming 2019 MMOs, so for the heck of it I hit play. I was half paying attention, then I heard it. At the edge of my perception I heard the host say, "City of Heroes" I perked up, and immediately hit rewind. I confirmed that this was real, and immediately downloaded Homecoming. I've been back for a month maybe, and I've already determined that this is sucking me in again. I no longer draw or write, I just pummel mobs. Productive me has been slain by Arachnos. but, I ain't mad about it. I'm glad it's back.

I played in live but my memory is garbage so I forgot all my math during the break. My tanker back in the day was a Willpower hyper-focused(at the cost of all other things) on regeneration so I never really gave much thought to Defense or Resistance because I could regen fast enough to eat all the damage(couldn't die but couldn't kill anything either.) Now I've made a Rad/Ice Brute(Defense) & Water/Rad Sentinel(Resistance) I enjoy both very much and want to take them all the way in levels, gear, and PvP if possible. However I don't know crap about Resistance and Defense, I've seen a lot of mention of "Soft/Hard cap" But honestly never bothered to learn what that means, lol. Is there a guide that I should look at or does someone want to give me the quick and dirty?
