I have a silly question and feel free to call me an innocent, sweet summer child but, concerning Inv/SS, I can see the insane ST damage but Inv has zero damage tools whatsoever and SS has no cone and just one PBAOE timed on a 20 second cooldown. Doesn't it take weeks and months to clear a map with that? I may be spoiled with my Rad/Claw that dishes indiscriminate mass murder arrests every two clicks.

So many answers, thanks!! I levelled a Rad Melee scrapper to 30-ish but the animation times were killing me, but I can see it work on a tank, I guess. I have a 48 EM scrapper and I really love her but she's very, very ST based. As @Obsinious said, I like me some AOE. Speaking of AoE, I had this build for a Fire/Staff but compared to my Rad tank, it looks ridiculously squishy, I'm very afraid of being disappointed. I'll have to check SS too since everyone praises it. Can't say I'm a big fan of the animation style though. As promised in my initial post: MANY THANKS! (Keep those suggestions coming!)

My new baby, Rad/Claw is almost 41 and will surely be 50 soon. My very first 50, most like. I'm having way too much fun with tanks. I want more tanks. I thought brutes were my thing but, the target cap and wide radius/angles is what does it for me. I have: 42 Ice/Ice, almost as fun. 15 SR/SM, I'm not sold yet but hey, only level 15 22 Elec/Staff, promising What other combos would you guys suggest? I might try Bio/TW, I'm interested in dark armor, shield looks fun too. As for secondaries, I'm pretty opened but ideally, not claws or ice since I already have that covered. MORE TANKS. Which will lead to MORE THANKS.

I absolutely take this back and auto censor/jranger my own idea. Even though I joined Homecoming over a year ago now, there are several villain groups I still missed from live. So imagine my excitement when a legacy contact FINALLY gave me a nemesis arc. Yeah. Apparently I didn't remember them well. New content = good. Old content = bad. If I have to do another "Defeat all" nemesis mission, I swear I'll lose my bloody mind. Nemesis aren't hard, they aren't challenging. They're only annoying.

The answer to that most likely rhymes with "Boar Hitters"

Well, allow me to use this excellent topic to ask a similar but different question. I was making a custom chat window the other day and I noticed "Leveling pact" This still exists??

I thought we all agreed on you for that...

Keep posting those awesome builds!! /opportunist

This. This made me laugh, made my day and my week. Thank you.

Since we're discussing that tank: the build provided by @Carnifax has an Overwhelming Force KB-KD + DMG in it. I moved things around a bit and replaced that with a simple Sudden Acceleration KB-KD and capitalized on the Winter set bonuses to get better fire/cold defense and better recharge for Shockwave. The cost for this was the +END slot in stamina which is now a 6th slot for shockwave. The end cost will be minimal but the character ends up with a slightly smaller DEF hole for C/F, more HP and a more, well rounded Shockwave. Oh and the KB-KD costs 2M instead of 20 now. I'll post the build tonight.

Well, the forum says I'm a rookie now so thbthhppbhtphb!

No! Nooooo! Wait! I can fix this!! Whew. I'm not OCD either. Just pre-coffee and a little dumb this morning 🙂

@gamingglen I'm happy I'm not you right now. I don't know how I could ever post again unless someone reacted to some of my posts first. But since neither of us can log on, we're safe. Edit: typos.

i'm going to +1 this and add that the last thing we want is this game to turn into Champion Online. Edit: I am NOT against new AT ideas, but they need to be new, not just two different halves of what we already have.

I say we like and reply to this post as much as possible to try and break a rift in the universe. I want to see what's on the other side of that rift.

Hi. I can't logon to the forums. Pls help.

Totally ignoring it.

Oh that's for sure. I may not have any 50s yet but that's mainly because my main CoH kick is marketing (instead of just playing the damn game) so, I'm swimming in inf, I can try all sorts of crazy builds just for giggles 🙂

I already have that in Spin, which makes sense since it's used 2-3 times more often? I'm really not good with procs.

Yes and no, with the following to consider: my knowledge/experience of Doms is very VERY limited. Dominators are a pure control primary and assault (Melee/range hybrid) secondary What OP suggest is a pure Melee primary and a range/manipulation/control secondary. So a kinda-sorta reverse Dom, but not a Dom per se. Kinda like Scrappers and Tankers are mirrored (powersets only, not including mechanics) and yet, both remain perfectly pertinent and valid. Food for thought?

Oh it works. Daaaaaaaaamn it works. Such an incredible proc-machine and so much fun to play. Survivable and nasty. The original idea was here, the character was created, levelled to 8 and then kinda sorta left alone for my next alt-fling. Then I remembered I wanted to play this, found your build and since then, I honestly can't play anything else.

Reading this topic has been as entertaining as it has been depressing. I just can't understand why people take everything so personally on the internet, or in general. Guys, chill, it's just life, none of us gets out of it alive. Anyways. At first, I was with OP. Splits are wrong and annoying. But then I started reading what was said here and you know what? I changed my mind. I almost never join high-level, steamroll groups because: 1- I am not a skilled player so I feel useless and 2- ... well, there's just "1", really. Now, after reading this topic, I realize that group soloers and group spliters are the antidote. The content is too easy? Spread. Raise the difficulty artificially, do more content, quicker. As for everything else: communication. It kept my marriage going for 25 years, surely it can keep my team up for an hour or two.

The extremely awesome build I used for my Rad/Claw (courtesy of @Carnifax ) has taunt, which I immediately dismissed because I thought I knew things. But then, courtesy of @SeraphimKensai and Carnifax I learned a new thing. Don't you just love being surrounded by capable people? I do. Funny that. Currently reading an awesome book called "The subtle art or not giving a F*ck" , which is opening my eyes to many, many things. One of which, I just read yesterday night: "You think you know things, but you don't. You are wrong about everything, and that is a good thing, it means you can learn and improve. Constantly. Every day." So yeah. I will try Taunt. Praise Carnifax and his excellent Taunt-including builds.

I didn't know about the -range part. You learn something every day. It's innate to the ability? You don't need an IO for that? Meaning, if there are 5-6 range dudes over ther, I target one, use taunt and suddenly, it will feel an urge to come eat my AoEs up close? Will it affect the other mobs around it?

A few weeks ago, a friend came to see me. "So you played Persona 5? Tell me about it" I told him about it. For a full hour. So the next day, I bought Persona 5 Royal. 88 hours in as of yesterday. Curse my irresistible auto-suggestion skills. If only I could use them to stop snacking at night!
