Hello Everyone,
I'm back to City of Heroes after not playing for a very long time, like years before it shut down even. There's a lot of things I still don't understand since coming back and I was hoping you could help. So, I'm playing a defender and have been looking around for builds. One thing I noticed is that all of the builds I'm finding include the leadership power tree. Back in the day, I always remembered these as being a huge endurance suck with disappointing returns. Maneuvers and Tactics were not needed by most level 50 teams and Assault was a nice bonus if you had the end but not necessary. It really seemed like not a lot of builds included the powers when I was playing last.
Do people take them to use special sets and gain access to procs? Cause that's something I don't really understand yet, I'm not sure which sets I'll be using. If so, can that be achieved with other powers? I really hate these powers is what I'm getting at but I will use them if it means making an effective level 50 defender.
TLDR: I don't understand why people take the leadership powers so I don't know if I should include them in my build.
