The escalated quickly...but are you ready for CATmageddon?!?

I've played a Warshade on live and got started using bind files to manage the form changes and setting the active tray for the powers appropriate to that form. I took a look at my Black Dwarf Step and Shadow Step binds and realized something odd. CTRL+LBUTTON "powexec_name Black Dwarf Step" SHIFT+LBUTTON "powexec_name Shadow Step" LeftDoubleClick "powexec_location target Black Dwarf Step$$powexec_location target Shadow Step" I changed my bind file and found the first and second binds will NOT work for both/either form if I try to combine both teleport powers. The odd thing that the third bind DOES work for either/both forms. I don't have an answer for why the one works but the others don't but if you find one please let us know. @tidge I may have to appropriate your BACK and Mystic Flight binds for some of my alts!

I have to agree with @arcane, this is about the most entertaining post I've seen since Snarky gave up on telling us about his PUG antics. Carry on @BigBam!

@Doomguide2005 I really wasn't looking to have 2 builds on this char, especially with identical powers and nearly the same slotting. Reviewing https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Attuned shows that: When exemplaring, the effective aspect enhancement is figured as if it were the current natural level of the character, or, the maximum level of the range of enhancement if the character has outleveled it. For the sake of Bonus Sets, the bonus effects cut out when exemplaring more than three levels below the minimum of the Attuned Enhancement's range. With the number of healing powers, does the increase in healing for levels 27+ make enough of a difference to offset not having set bonuses below 27? I suppose I'll have to work with it one way or the other and find out for myself in actual play. Then again, I could have several powers slotted with Num and the others with Pan and change it up to all of one or the other if I find it isn't working well. At the moment I'm looking at the build below. I'll likely swap out the Posis in Full Auto for some of the new Cupids but Mids hasn't got that updated quite yet it seems.

Thank you @MoonSheep and @Doomguide2005 for your builds and suggestions. The character will use flight due to concept/background but most of the rest is open for change. I like the idea of taking Clear Mind rather than the Resurrect, even tho both issues can be mitigated by using an inspiration. I'm still working in Mids of the tweaks I want to make so I can take Clear Mind early enough in the build to have under level 20 and get Mystic Flight shoehorned in somewhere. Probably moving Hasten back some...move Maneuvers up so I can still get Tactics in there for the Confuse/Fear resists. I had actually started a respec earlier but realized that after replacing Assault with Clear Mind I didn't have the pre-req to take Tactics, so I will definitely be using a build at least based on what you both have provided. And just to be sure I'm not off base with cats and boosts, aside from the purples I should attune the enh's so the sets bonuses are available as early as possible for exemping down, correct? Well, also aside from the basic IO enh's that should get +5'ed at some point.

Thanks @MoonSheep but I have corruptors a-plenty and I had rolled this one specifically to be my first Emp and as a defender. To mostly be in a supportive role when exemping down to work on teams not at max levels.

@Doomguide2005 Thanks for your feedback and I'm looking forward to seeing your build. I've currently got this guy parked in the Hive for Hami raid healing (Early Bird on Torch so there's always at least 1 round of clearing mitos) but I would like to take him for more team oriented and exemping activity throughout the city. I could add what you come up with as a 2nd build but I have the feeling what you come up with will be just as useful for Hami raids as what I have currently. By the by, I have the resources available to afford pretty much whatever you come up with, excepting a slew of D-Syncs...I have an aversion to the Aeon SF.

Hi folks. On live my first 50 was a radiation/electric defender and I've recreated him on HC. I had a couple other defenders on live and on HC but I decided to try my first Empathy char a while back. He's pretty decent but about 15 sec sort of perma-hasten and I'm sure he can be tweaked for improvement. I've seen the Emp guide @MonteCarla made and comments made by @Doomguide2005 but I'm open to most any recommendations/build suggestions. Thanks for your help! Bobby_emp_ar_Defender.mbd

But...but I already did a Synapse on each alt. Isn't that enough penance?

As a player who is experienced enough to know which zone is which and how to get to them, I use AE and/or events to power level alts when I feel comfortable with my knowledge of the power choices on that alt. If I already have a tank with given powers and want to try a brute with the same power sets to see how they differ, or mix with a different primary/secondary to see how they synergize. If I'm trying power sets I haven't used before, I'll usually run in level appropriate teams/missions to get an understanding of the powers, at least up to the 20's if not 30's. At that point I know what powers I have, when and how to use them for a team's benefit, and can see if I like it enough to start slotting in IOs.

My IKM tank is a sometimes Hami taunter. Who cares about a long windup when all you really want to do it keep the giant jelly's attention on you while the league defeats the mitos.

Heather Townshend's arc in Dark Astoria is repeatable and provides incarnate rewards. There are only a couple missions, are fairly easily soloed and can be completed in 15 min-ish once you've done it a time or two.

Thanks for the update @Michiyo, I think I speak for many when I say thank you for all you do for us!

I get that error too...and I'd just started on a Numina's tf! Arrrrgh!!!!

I've appreciated and used your COHModd for quite some time, @Michiyo (although I had issues similar to @Snarky but resolved them with a fresh install of HC last year)! Welcome to HC to you and all the players on Victory!
