Apparition

Radiation Blast, Sonic Attack, and Assault Rifle need help. Maybe Electrical Blast (never played it, so I really can't say one way or another). The rest of the ranged damage sets are fine, IMO. Some are better than others, but that's the way it always is.

Water is great (it's my second favorite ranged damage set), but it's almost entirely AoE. If you want to take down GMs, Ice is a much better blast set.

https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Shauna_Braun She's between the levels of 25 to 29. If you're in that level range, go to IP and type /thumbtack -1929 16 -2587 If you're above level 29, go to Ouroboros and look up her story arc under the level 25 to 29 range.

IIRC, I believe it was renamed to Smuggler's Ship when Going Rogue launched or shortly after, in late 2010.

The point is that Brutes do have to make a sacrifice in order to load up on damage procs, while Tankers do not, or not nearly as drastic a sacrifice. I very rarely see Brutes outside of AE anymore, unless they're old Brutes made before April of last year. When almost an entire melee damage team is comprised of Tankers, there's a big problem.

It does if it lets the Tanker load up on damage procs without having to worry about survivability, unlike Brutes.

The problem is that Tankers are now much too close to Brutes in damage while Tankers vastly outclass Brutes in survivability. Even worse, this allows Tankers to load up on damage procs, eclipsing Brute damage. I was on a Hamidon raid over the weekend. The yellow mito assault team consisted of seven Tankers and one Scrapper. It was honestly one of the saddest things I have ever seen in the game.

This was brought up during beta testing of Issue 27, Page One and it was deemed that IO enhancement set bonuses would more than make up for the reduced effectiveness of enhancements while male factored to low levels.

There already is instanced DPS testing, although granted against level 54 Rikti pylons. Open up the LFG tab -> Trials -> Rikti mothership Beat on level 54 Rikti pylons to your heart’s content. Although FWIW, if someone complained to me that I was messing with a MSR by taking on a pylon in the zone, I would kindly suggest that they move the MSR to the instance since that is what it’s there for, so people can use the RWZ for other things.

Bio, Invulnerability, Rad Armor, and Shield, yes. Any other secondary, no.

There's a popular MMOG in Praetoria named... appropriately enough... Guardians of Praetoria. What do you think it is? People playing members of Power Division protecting Praetoria? A medieval fantasy MMOG? Something else entirely? Do you think that it was brought over to Primal Earth when Praetorian Earth was evacuated? Is Jonny playing Guardians of Praetoria in Kallisti Wharf today? :D

I am sad that in Zack Snyder's Justice League, we didn't find out that Steppenwolf's mother's name was Martha as well, bringing an immediate end to hostilities.

Nope. Their damage cap was 850% until the release of Going Rogue in August 2010, where it was reduced to 775%. Then lowered further to 700% with Issue 26, Page Four.

You remember incorrectly. Melee AoE always had a ten target cap.

Take a look at this thread. -

Beam Rifle doesn't have a rain, only a cone and a targeted AoE.

One of the biggest legitimate complaints about the various changes made to the game since the Issue 24 beta is the lowering of the level requirement for the Lady Grey Task Force. Prior to sunset, it was level 45+. Now for some unfathomable reason, it's level 35+. Over the past two years, numerous teams lead by someone lower than level 45 (including friends of mine), have attempted the Lady Grey Task Force, only to run into a full stop once they encountered the level 50 Weakened Hamidon. To put simply, the Lady Grey TF really, really should have its minimum level requirement set back to level 45+. This would prevent a lot of people who don't know that the Weakened Hamidon is set at level 50 from wasting their time attempting the TF.

It's unfortunately not a bug. Hamidon and his friends will always spawn at level 50. IMO, it was a big mistake made by SCoRE during the secret server years to lower the level requirements of the LGTF to level 35+. You should always be level 50 to run that.

Every non-Praetorian character I make starts out in Breakout.

Indeed it is. :)

City of Heroes is not World of Warcraft.

Never change, Jenkins. Never change.

Yes, that IO enhancement is specifically to make your snipe permanently fast. With it slotted, you'll never have the regular/slow snipe.

Fast snipes only have 80 foot range as of Issue 27, Page Two. It's intended, not a bug.

I made one Defender for the Barracuda SF. Whenever I teamed with him, I felt like I was throwing a wet paper towel at mobs instead of actually damaging them. When the Barracuda SF was changed to no longer require a Defender nor a Mastermind to run, I almost immediately stripped and deleted the Defender. The damage difference between ATs is significant. Corruptor FTW.
