I'm running through a bunch of different classes and trying some themed builds. I'd like to try a BS/SR character, but all I can find is a great old guide on GameFAQs: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/536558-city-of-heroes/faqs/56616 While that's fantastic, I'd like if someone skilled in the arts of builds could throw together something for me to try. Or at least list some of the really important key powers for 2020. I know Katana is flashier (and better) and mace is chunkier (and better), but man, sometimes you just gotta hit stuff with a sword then dodge out of the way. Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I'm still super new, so just to check, that's an enhancement that changes knockback to knockdown? Because yeah that seems really overpowered, I'll definitely look into it!

My MM is a prolific astrophysicist turned gangster rapper. Therefore, he uses Bots and Sonic. I've managed to wing it to 50 so far, but I think it's time to actually try a Real Build, since I'm pretty sure I've picked a billion bad choices. The only Bot/Sonic build I found was on cohtitan from 2017. I'm gonna link the topic, and paste the build - can someone lemme know if it's still.. viable? I know it won't be the strongest, or best, but I wanna give myself a fighting chance, at least.

I mean.. a "known issue" is something that devs would try to fix/change later on. Otherwise it's not an "issue", it's just a "feature".

Still having this issue today. Trust me to find the one way to bug out the quest, lol. To reiterate, failed to kill Silver Mantis, she killed Dr. Aeon, mission failed, but cannot abandon mission, or even use the "skip mission" feature.
