Hi, can you please explain what you mean? I read that as, the decoys will do the same damage as yourself at the time of casting them. So if you use fulcrum shift and are at your damage cap, the decoys will take a snapshot and apply the same to themselves until they expire. I assume that I’ve misunderstood you here or else I’d have heard of this sooner.

Thanks for the replies all. 😊

Hi all, quick question please. How does Storm Cell operate when you move on to other mobs? Does it centre itself around you, the mobs that your targeting or does it move to the nearest/first mob that it encounters while following you? Or I guess does it do something completely different that I haven't even considered? Thanks in advance.

Raving mad at the cost of the drinks!

Maybe they should reintroduce him as an interactive NPC that appears occasionally. You can lead him out blueside and point him in the direction of medical facilities or redside, give him a kicking and tell him not to darken the doorstep of PD again. You then get the appropriate badge.

Thanks both, you're stars!

Hi all, quick question. Do the benefits of Storm Cell only work with your own or also other teammates? I assume the former but just wanted confirmation. Thanks.

This how I play mine, only difference is I cap ranged defence.

Epics are designed to round out ATs so you won’t get a proper defensive power on a Sentinel, in the same way that you won’t for any AT with a defensive primary/secondary. Sentinel Epics are mainly control and utility. My advice for a Sonic would be to either go Psionic to stack the stuns of Shockwave with Dreadful Wail or Dark for the immob of Tentacles while you use your cone attacks.

DA with OG works well with Energy Melee, stacking stuns on all mobs including bosses.

I use full Lockdown sets in all of my Time Corruptors, primarily for the ranged defence and find that the proc fires quite often. Also it doesn't just stack on bosses but also fires independently on minions and lieutenants. The animation for the hold in Distortion Field is a bubble around the head of the critter, the animation for the Lockdown hold is an electric bubble like the sleep from Electricity. I ran a test a short while ago with and without the proc to confirm this. My advice would be to take Distortion Field, not only is the slow good, the hold is decent especially with the Lockdown set and you can stack it multiple times. Take it and love it. 🙂

Personally my experience of Ill/Emp and Ill/Kin have been pretty much the opposite. I find Illusion to be a relatively passive primary; main powers are PA and Spectral Terror both of which are drop and forget, they just do their thing. This allows you to concentrate on the secondary both of which are very busy. So from a playing perspective they work well together. The Ill/Kin is played as a buffer, drop PA and ST then buff away - who doesn't like Kin? The Ill/Emp is played as a healer/buffer/utility. With Superior invisibility you can heal and buff players without pulling any aggro so can go places other healer/buffers can't. Group invis can be used for teams to speed certain missions as can Sup Invis with summon team. I find both good fun and useful in teams with good synergy from a passive/busy perspective. I'm not making any claims of how super they are and the playstyle might not be for everyone but certainly not ones to be avoided - IMO. 🙂

I've got many sentinels and have never been badmouthed. Mine are very survivable and do good damage.

Thank you for the details, I'll give it a try. I haven't played DM on homecoming, was probably a couple of years before COH closed down.

I've only ever played DM on a scrapper and found the set at odds with itself as it had a damage boost based around large mobs but the majority of the attacks were ST. What's different about the Tank version that's makes it good at AOE?

IMO Go for a fire/time/dark corruptor. It’s the Swiss Army knife of COH, can do everything.

Thank you very much guys; COH shows the quality of its players once again. 🙂

Hi all, I’ve played a number of Sentinels but never an SR. Reading the powers list I noticed that there’s an option of taking Master Brawler over the usual SR mez resistance power and was a little confused. Do you give up mez resistance for a heal/absorb? If so I assume that you’re relying on defence to prevent the mez hitting. Is this right or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Hi Korbian, Thank you. I tried right clicking and various other Windows 10 keystrokes and couldn't bring that menu up bit hovering the mouse and a bit of patience did the job. :)

Hi all, I've been playing the game for some time and all has been well. I've been logging in on a laptop and a PC, the PC is fine but recently I logged onto the laptop and minimised the COH window (run it in a window). Since then when I try to play the game it starts in a minimised view and I'm not able to open the game up. I can hear it and see the window on the taskbar but I'm not able to maximise the window and play the game or change the settings. I've deleted the folder and reinstalled a number of times but the issue remains. I assume that the setting is held on the server. Can you please help? Regards Steve
