[Energ Melee / Shield Def Build suggestions?]

I strongly recommend AGAINST Energy Melee until the dev team has given it some love.  Current issues with it (multiple stemming from slow animations) include:

1:  Lack of AoE.

2:  The animations are so slow that you'll get caught up in one when you need to react defensively to something.

3:  Due to the slow ST animations, your hits will often be "wasted," because by the time they connect, teammates will likely have killed that mob already.

4:  Related to the above, which someone termed "corpse blasting," your T9 burns some of your health every time you fire it off, hit or miss, or even if you're hitting something that's already dead.  This will be exacerbated by a defensive set that lacks heals, like Shield.

 

I say all this as someone who took an Energy/energy brute to 50, mind.  I've heard good things about Psi or Rad melee as alternatives.

Ty for ur imput it is appreciated. I may have to look at another alt as my primary powerset. Unfortunately I don't see Psi or Rad fitting into the concept, but uve given me food for thought.

 

Ty for taking the time to respond

[Energ Melee / Shield Def Build suggestions?]

Hi all

 

Im quite new to the game and only have limited experience on the ins and outs of creating a good build. So was just wondering whether anyone has any suggestions regarding an energy melee/shield def brute. I have a concept for the toon that I enjoy and want to stick with the power choices.

 

Any builds or suggestions are welcomed

 

Thank you all for ur time

Slightly off topic but given that many city of heroes players are a little older did anyone else read  Captain Britain as a child? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Britain

 

He was the only superhero i really liked until 2000AD.

Funnily enough I never read any of the Captain Britain stuff, yet my first ever toon on Union was a MA/SR Scrapper called Captain Britain. I managed to keep the name all the way til lvl 47ish before I was forced to change it. I later became Britanic Justice, but was always known as Cap. I used to run round for a while with a guy playing a toon called Britanic

Hi all. I used to play on Union back in the Day. I started off as Captain Britain (Later became Britannic Justice) altho was always known as Cap (MA/SR Scrapper). I used to be in the Super Group, Paragon City Protectors or PCP. If anyone remembers me from back in the day feel free to get in touch. 🙂

Hi All

 

First time poster and a very recently returned player. I kno 😞  (hangs head in shame)

 

Tbh I wasn't aware the game was back but anyway......

 

I'm probably searching for a needle in a haystack, but back when I originally played I was a member of Paragon City protectors SG, and only got into the game initially after a bit of dabbling because a guy playing a DM/Regen scrapper by the name of Britanic basically took me under his wing to show me the ins and outs of the game.  Also I enjoyed a lot of TFs and other group content, with a Inv/SS Tanker named Meatball and a Rad/Rad (not sure if the 2ndary is right) Defender by the name of Cyberskin.

 

If anyone of u guys or anyone else remembers teaming with a MA/SR scrapper by the name of Captain Britain (for arounf 48 lvls) later changed to Britannic Justice then feel free to gimme a shout, would love a catch up and maybe some group content as I start to immerse myself in CoH homecoming
