We had this issue the other night on a small team, so it was easier to troubleshoot. The issue was Storm Cell from the Storm Blast set, in our case. The pseudopet tends to drift to right in front of the door and then causes mobs to spawn briefly, encounter the pseudopet, then the mob will despawn and respawn. You can generally get in about one hit before the despawn and the mob retains health amounts between respawns, so you can eventually whittle down the mob between respawns.

Drunk Aza: Skunk. That's Bull: Bovine. Myna Problem: Bird. Lyre Lyre: Symphony/Fire bird. Schroedinger-Pavlov: A cat, and a wolf, and…a confusing backstory. Harpy Holidays: Red, green, and still ugly. Serval Blades: Dual Blade cat. Cute Little Stinker: another Skunk. Hare Krista: Probably my most failed pun name that no one got; rabbit. Gamma Chameleon: He comes and goes, he comes and goes… Compulsive Lyre: Another symphony bird alt. Hopped-Up: Kinetics rabbit.

Thank you @Luminara!

I have an older /buildsavefile file that MIDS won't open and no MIDS file was ever posted. I'd just build off the text file, since it's readable, but all the set enhancements are [name]_A, [name]_B, etc. So things like "Superior_Attuned_Superior_Command_of_the_Mastermind_A" and "Superior_Attuned_Superior_Command_of_the_Mastermind_C". Is there a reliable way to correlate the A/B/C/D/E/F to a specific enhancement in a set?

City of Villains Beta Event where devs played their signature heroes invading the Isles…and got their backsides handed to them. 🙂 Trees that suddenly came alive! It was an outdoor setting and didn't know those DE mobs could do that since they don't con from afar. Serious "oh sh*t!" moment. Figuring out safe routes to run through the Hollows with Sprint and not get wiped by purple mobs. "Run down the middle of the street" as the pro tip for lowbies in Steel. Joining a PI team on a lowbie before the "SK bumps your levels" thing…death runs through the streets of PI from the ferry to Portal Corp. 😜 EEK! Nazi werewolves!?! Hating Skyway with a passion without a travel power.

Poked around a bit and while there have been some teases about some nice builds of MC/SM being out there, they were not posted in their full "trust fund" glory (I learned a new term today). At least not that I can find. Anyone have a Mind/Savage permadom build they'd like to share, purple sets included? Bonus if you can suggest other sets that can be used in place of the purples until I hit 50, since I level-up the old fashioned way and haven't quite hit 30 as of this post. 😉 Additional bonus if it has Hover and Fly…it's a concept thing for this alt. Or at least suggesting how to mod it successfully without downgrading it too much. THANK YOU!

Anyone have a fun Pain/Elec build they'd like to share?

Bit of a necro thread, but figured I'd do that rather than a new thread… Anyone have a nice Dual Blades/Ninjitsu build they could share?

Not a fan of speed runs because rarely is anything explained, I don't always have stealth, and I don't generally have a min/max'd alt. So generally speed runs means I just run around lost and dying alot. Speed runs should never be assumed, they should be advertised so I know not to join. I have quit TFs when it turns out to be an un-advertised speed run. I actually do appreciate when a leader explicitly states "kill all/most/kill-as-we-go" as well. This generally becomes "we won't scour the whole map, but we will kill everything along the most common path and won't be racing past active mobs in our path." These can be fairly fast but not difficult to follow like a speed run can be. And honestly, just work like most mission teams. To be clear: I don't care if others like speed runs, if that's their fun. I'm only pointing out is I like to play to feel useful, and am easily flustered when things are not explained or are too chaotic. Speed runs just set-off my "non-enjoyment."

Did anyone get farther with this or post a final build that works well? I'm just flat out bad with custom builds, and been only marginally successful with frankenbuilds. Someone asked about focus: make big damage, survive in melee enough for the blappery powers, not as frail as wet tissue, not stunned every couple of minutes, playable from 0-50. I have simple needs. 😄

Yeah I've done similar things, even used that same armor texture. But where I can make a clothes-less antro-tiger, all the anthro-birds apparently have modesty issues? Or they have to be chimeric and use fur instead. BTW, nice rooster look!

White is problematic like that in a number of places. The lizard scale texture for torso and legs not only has a little "tan" to it, but if I recall it has a hint of a greenish hue to it as well. Really bothered me trying to make a white ice dragon. 😞

We have bird wings, heads, and monstrous legs but we don't have… Feathered tail options. Hawk, swallow, etc. I never quite understood why this got overlooked on Live. Have someone who really knows birds figure out the idle, flight, jump animations. I always liked how bird/bat/dragon wings had the "landing" part of the animation cycle (couple of quick extra flaps before folding the wings), or the wing position when falling, etc., it showed some care and detail. I assume similar detail could go into a bird tail animations Feather-look body/pant textures for feathery bodies. I am pretty sure these are available on some of the Talons mobs. Either that, or they are "scales" that could double as feather-ish at least. Again, mammals got fur and lizards got scales body textures but the avians got left out.

Oddly, I never read any of it as dismissive, just earnest suggestions/workarounds for the meantime. I must be having a oddly positive day today…

Good question…I assumed they did since F/X cues indicate they should be. If they don't then…yeah, detoggle when the mob dies. 😜

That's how it used to be back on Live for a time, then it got changed to "manually turn it off." I assumed the reason back then was "we're sick of getting the toggle on, only for that particular anchor dying too quick and having downtime to get the toggle moved." I still remember the begging of "please don't kill the anchor!" and people not paying attention. I prefer the occassional forgeting to turn it off manually and letting a corpse keep the toggle (until the corpse fades away). This means I can put the toggle on even minions and if they die in the right place, the debuff continues and is handy. Less micro-managing of anchored toggles.

/bind_save_file "[path to save location of your choice]" So in my case, I use this (I'm on a Mac, FYI): /bind_save_file "z:/Applications/City of Heroes/Bind Files/Saved/NameOfAlt.txt" When I joined Homecoming I was glad I am a bit of a digital packrat and I still had all my old bind files I could reference. 🙂

I guess barring an actual complete build, are there any threads where someone goes over all the corruptor primaries and secondaries in isolation and gives powers and slotting advice? Maybe I can frankenbuild something…

Anyone have a build they'd like to share for a Psi/Nature corruptor? Been enjoying it quite a bit even on SOs and figure it be worth investing in taking it up a notch. 🙂 Since I've been asked before, my wish list includes the Flight Pool (Hover and Fly) amd the Concealment Pool (Stealth). The stealth is there admittedly for the visual/concept (completely invisible except when attacking), but concepts are how I play (so a stealth IO doesn't work conceptually is it's visually not complete invisibility). But feel free to suggest other variations that I could modify myselt to suit. THANKS!

Not used to anyone asking such specific questions, so… Flight for travel power, though not necessarily hovering during combat. I've made alts with just flight an no hover if the build needs the power slot for something else. Also I sometimes get annoyed with looking through a wing-flapping alt in tight quarters. 😜 Pools/epics are negotiable and I'm okay with going redside to grab Scorpion Shield, though it is nice not to have to play a blueside, go red, then come back. Breaks my immersion a bit and becomes this annoyance I have to deal with. But, I know Scorpion Shield is a common go-to. I prefer more durable builds that have plenty of endurance and great accuracy. I level 0-50 the hard way so I end up having to team with people who love purple-cons and I prefer not to be dead too much or just plain useless. 😉 I'm not shy about spending on my builds if those expensive sets have a great net gain, but I also am not out to spend millions for tiny min/max gains either. So a balance is definitely a plus. Outside bog standard or 1-star ITFs, I rarely run TFs. Big plus if there are incarnate suggestions. But…I can usually wing it if needed. I noticed you had 5-slot…Boxing?…in the suggested S/L build. Never seen that before…is that a mule? Seems expensive to use Superior Blistering as a mule set so I'm just trying to wrap my head around the "why." Hope that helps.

Seems lately I have a knack for trying combos that don't have build suggestions in the forums, or that just aren't discussed much. Been poking around trying to find a good Savage Melee/Willpower setup. Even tried poking around in the Brute forums. Found a few discussions that died-off before any sort of final critique of "yeah, that looks good." Anyone have a final build they'd like to share?

Bumping this old thread…anyone have a decent Dual Pistols/Nature they'd like to share?

Bumping this old attempt…anyone have a decent Archery/Temporal build they'd like to share?

Doesn't look like this thread got much traction. Has anyone been happy with a solid Symphony/Sonic dom build through 50? I realize from some threads I found that it may be the worst pairing for a dom, but thematically it begs to be played…so I am. 😉 Gotten to the low 20s where I start thinking of finding a good build rather than winging it on SOs and intuition. Little help?

Yeah, she still plays okay and I'm too lazy to respec. I also wish I had put Shockwave in sooner; with KB-to-KD I find it quite useful as a way to defeat all the low-health stragglers after using Dreadful Wail. Considering my low-brain approach, I'm still very happy with how she turned out.
