Funny you mention that because I was wondering how I could do a melee character with him, too! That sounds like a great combo, too. The coyote shapeshift does give me fighter vibes, even though I was thinking along the lines of Medivh (from Diablo) turning into a crow all the time. But hey, I'm gonna make an alt version of the character and try out electric/shield! Thanks.

@TraumaTrain right now I’m trying an electric/kinetics controller. I like electric control a lot so far. But the altaholism is strong, so I’m still considering other options. Damn fun character though! I need to get him associated with some kinda magical SG.

In all my years of playing CoH I’ve never been about the numbers or the logic of builds or thinking through really anything I’ve done gameplay-wise, but... does electric/kinetics make sense? Is this one of those combos where there’s not a lot of synergy going on? I haven’t played an electric controller, but the chain knockdown looks insanely fun. I never had a high level kinetics character back in live, either.

Loving the ideas, guys! Thanks for all the input. I’m digging the character a lot so far. There’s a lot to do with it. The more animistic idea of tapping into the spirit of the city is definitely what I’m going for. I have a feeling I’m gonna be remaking this character quite a few times until I get something that feels right. But it’s certainly fun to think about what you can do. RP elements are off the wall— Talking with city creatures like rats, roaches, squirrels, cats, dogs, pigeons... “Couch surfing”, having various home points in the city to warp to, centered around a friendly couch. Social media spirits. It’s great! The one aspect of my character I’m keeping through all versions is the coyote shapeshifter power. His name’s Stray Dog, so I like the idea of him either looking like a stray or scruffy, might-be-homeless person.

Oh don’t I know it... CoH is the worst for someone with rampant altaholism! A Shadowrun SG sounds like it’d be lots of fun! Now, when you say troll rigger do mean... superadyne troll? Cause that’d be amazing

Definitely a big Shadowrun influence in the idea for this character. And you hit the nail on the head as far as options! I like the spirit of the park idea. I’m paralyzed with choices so I think I’ll just end up playing what feels the most fun as far as powers go. How IS electrical affinity as a defender?

I’m working on a character concept, someone whose abilities come from the magic energies associated with the city. Think a Druid who’s getting their power source from the vibes of subways, electrified buildings and the energy of a city full of people instead of nature. A homeless avatar of the streets. What powersets come to mind when you think of city magic? I think you could do just about anything. Kinetics has a real city energy to it. I thought kinetics/dual pistols would be kinda funny. Any archetype, any set, what are your ideas?

Ahhh, okay, that explains it. They weren’t in combat, so that’s gotta be. Thanks!

Heya, sorry if this has been discussed already but I couldn’t find anything on the topic. I’ve seen players in game whose character model is a wolf. The same kind of wolf used in the beast mastery set. I was just wondering how this was possible and if it’s something super obvious that I’m missing. Thanks!
