Before the live servers went down and recently after Dark/Dark became available for Dominators I made a Dark/Dark Dominator I solo'd AVs with Dark/Dark The pets ( if I recall, 4 total) plus the self heal , but the dmg and the debuff so you get hit way less, plus the end game uber powers), and it was enough to solo a few before the servers went down

Rosetta is installed Now look

Ok, now I will give this another shot for sure

Thank you, let's get together in game once I am up and running Thank you By the way, you are a reason why COH forums were so good COH was / is the best community bar none in all MMOs

I never said "primary" TO say it another way, your "defense" can be your control Your control can be your defense In practice, I never did build for def soft cap Got containment/control , did the dmg and moved on Never worried about getting killed They were under control , got attacked and I moved on, as did so many others That was before IOs, it continued to be so after IOs Now, don't get me wrong-- I am very much aware of build up for defense as it became a thing when IOs came out and so on I never did say that you could never run it that way I Did say that control and damage is what you needed and that is assuming if you went the route of systematically following that tactic , control, set containment, dmg and moved on I never disqualified a defense build at all I hope you understand me There's more than one way to skin this But since the game started and even after IOs, having the critters under control and then damaging them worked well and quickly So it was fine for me to say that's what you need

You know, it never asked me to install Rosetta 2 at all What do you think now ?

Right, not yet. , not asked to do so

Rosetta is already running on the M1 MacBook Pro

exactly that

The same It's hanging at the same spot I told you last time

Same problem Nothing changed

My MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020 is an upgrade to the Mini I can play way more demanding games , like Divinity Original Sin 2 and it runs wonderful It would be interesting to know how the mini handles that, but somehow I don't believe there would be a problem It's great if the mini can handle that too

I will give it a shot. I will keep you informed ThanK YOU !

In my comments I made very specific references that it was addressing the game as it was on live server Never did I say my comments were about the game as it is now on this game I did say that all my information, experience, and tests were done on live, that was clear. Again, if the OTHER sets were buffed or if some nerfs occurred , then that's something I addressed already I most certainly will test things out as soon as I get that running. No need to tell me that I don't even know why you being mean to me Did I offend YOU ?

I made the new thread

WonderingAries you suggested a make a new thread on this Here it is Thanks for your help

I am certainly on a MacBook Pro 13 inch , M1 Chip , 16 GB , 1 TB I did launch the IR THen, as I said, nothing would go beyond seeing the wine64 preloaded and that's it, nothing more I will try to to create a new thread under IR I went to IR because it's what I saw as the option available for me to use

You are putting words in my mouth Some things you are stating that I said... I never said those things Why do some people need to distort what is stated in order to make an argument is beyond me Right up until the servers of CoH were closed , live servers ... Right up until that time I was farming with many different types of characters I am not sure what has changed with this new outlet to play the game I don't know if they changed anything to damage But what you needed as a controller to farm +4 x 8 was good bonuses and accuracy or +to hit , CONTROL and DAMAGE and be very fast and to be careful about your angles so that you covered as many in the target group with a special eye on bosses Now, I never said you don't want defense I never said defense was bad But I did mean that control is what you needed Controllers damage is based on containment Containment gives controllers a huge buff of damg. Control also provides your safety since controlled critters don't fight back When your bonuses from IOs have enough and your build is right, you should not be missing all the time , so you should be able to hit +4s. On Live servers before they shut down Fire/Kin was still the fastest farmer for controllers Very far far from fire/rad I did say fire/rad was a far second for controllers only , all that was from the time servers were still live It was NOT ever worth farming on fire/rad It was not worth farming seriously on any controller, not even fire/rad They were heavily outmatched by Brutes and Dominators Plant/Thorns dominator would wipe the floor with controllers, even fire/kin - Confusion was way too good to and the dmg from the combo of plant /thorns was juicy In live servers No brute could touch SS/FIRE I don't know what the game changed since it was live But SS damage buff for that prolonged time was too much for anything else to compete , not even spines I competed vs spines many times and I was beating them very easily I don't know what changed , I am not aware of any changes to damage on spines if any damages were done But if the damage from Spines was not buffed since the live servers went down , then I am sure SS/Fire would beat spines if played right. I am not aware of any Rad/ set for brutes That must be something new for brutes

And then here ( part 2 of 3 ).

I am stuck I am getting as far as seeing the wine64 preloaded and that's it, nothing more

As a long, very long time farmer of the game, I am going to confidently give my insight into this , all from experience and all from speed testing over and over. What components you need for farming depends on what you want to farm with. Components vary for a brute vs controller Controller needs CONTROL, then dmg, then recharge, and movement. A controllers survival is based controlling and dmg You don't need to worry much or at all about having defense your defense is your control , how fast you move your hands and mouse and clicks , because a controller since he or she has no domination must be clicking fast to get that boss or bosses under control That is the defense of a controller Damg is universal , a kin has nothing to worry about there I concretely disagree with the statement about IOs The fact is that the better your deck of IOs are , the better you will farm Recharge is a must for controllers, dominators and brutes and so on Dmg pluses, set bonuses and so on... all those great things from IOs they are a must Hit points--- another standard across (except perhaps for dominators in skilled hands) Hit points can save you from those OOOPS moments but again, control and dmg is the game All my best farming characters were heavily decked out with IOs Those bonuses cannot hurt you, they only benefit you For Brutes, is not about control, it's about dmg and survival (thus you see the best farming brutes be fire brutes in maps of fire dmg dealing critters). Fire and SS together make the heaviest and best dmg dealing brutes in the game for farming ...SORRY... the best character by very far in the game for farming , if you measure clearing times and xp accrual Blasters , I seen them farm too. It's all about the surprise element , some control and dmg and movement but they sure put defensive stats in their builds from IO bonuses as well but even before IOs, they were farming too but that was because of the epic power pools available I seen Corrupters farm as well They also use some control and defense and of course, dmg and movement But hands down , the best controllers in the most varied of maps were dominators Not anywhere close to SS/Fire brutes but they were awesome
