  1. Yeah Beasts/Nature was similar.
  2. Maybe I'll just killify everything and unsummon if and when I really need to skip to the end he he!
  3. Wow, you managed to pick up pretty much all the powers, especially thermal! I assume all of the healing/rez team powers work on your pets then, or did you take some of them more for team play? I mostly solo, so would be good to know which ones I can skip. Playing a demons/thermal MM right now, more for thematic reasons, eh.
  4. I love stealth in-game for any toon (along with sorcery flight/teleport!). BUT, I just started a MM demons/thermal, so no native stealth :(. Are there any pool powers or IOs, etc that give team stealth...? Otherwise I guess my only option is to unsummons all of the pets if I want to stealth past mobs to the mission objective say, yeah...? Cheers!
  5. Necro/dark for face-rolling all the way! 😉
  6. Howdy from down under! (not Hell where demons come from, the Hell where the Labor party gets another 3 years lol! ;). Just rolled a demons/thermal theme toon yesterday, oddly enough. So would be good to get someone's take on this combo, not sure how popular or effective it is for solo play mostly. Prob not the most powerful, given I don't think I've ever seen one online, eh.
  7. I'd also throw some Corruptors into the mix, if you really want to pew pew and solo through content quickly. I have a Selene from Underworld dual-pistols/dark, which is just a theme build, but was fun. You can pair a number of 'techy' secondaries with DPs with a corruptor which will add a lot more versatility to your build than just an armour or melee blapper powers, imo. Plus, SCOURGE!!! 🙂 FWIW, the most survivable blaster I ever built was a dark/ninjitsu, but that's not the theme you're looking for, eh.
  8. Hah, that was my first hero and blaster on live - Kelvin Ator, an Ice/Fire blaster! I think I had just read the first book in GoT when CoH started, so the combo just popped, eh. Below is the final look - the original looked like an escapee from a clown asylum lol!
  9. Just remember, no matter what goes wrong in a party, it's ALWAYS the dps' fault! 🤣
  10. I was just thinking along similar line - Peacebringer + Warshade! They could mooch team buffs a little bit off each other, but would also be a formidable dps/dps combo. If they need a tank, either can drop into dwarf form and jump forward, taunt, etc - when they get low, switch around, so you have a kiting/rotating dps/tank combo!
  11. Me as necro/dark MM and the other one is my army of minions! 🤣
  12. He will be able to jog (and fly) twice as fast, once he grows his moustache! 🤣
  13. Happy NY Vigilantes and Creature Commandos!
  14. Happy NY from down under! And remember, you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the president! 🤣
  15. Happy NY Mr Nosferatu! And one man's villain is just another man's freedom fighter! 😜
  16. Late to the party. I'd second/third/fourth Shield Defense for a Tanker. I have a SD/Psi 'Psycho Maiden' which is nigh on unkillable, with just a little active input. I have a thematic issue with SD/MA - MA should not have been allowed with Shield. Have you ever seen a Martial Artist using a shield without a weapon in their main hand...? MA is a 2-handed powerset and should have been restricted as such imo.
  17. Cheers, so if I try to rename an existing character, to one with an expired name, it won't let me, but rather give me the same name with a number appended? But if I create a new character it will just let me take it, with no notification...? Hmmm, I might have misunderstood, as I just tried it with several common names, and the rename just rejected all of them. I guess I'd need to know that a name has expired first, and then try to rename to it. Sounds very odd to me in any case.
  18. What's not clear from the post is if I'm about to create a character with an 'expired' name, will the system tell me that before I take someone else's hero's identity...? Because I won't be taking it in that case, call me crazy.
  19. The only thing that appears to be working is Excelsior getting overloaded, ahem.
  20. And how would you like me to do that, given I mostly solo - go back in time and take screenshots...? I will however reset them all soon and record the date for future glitches in the matrix, as this is not the first time I've noticed this side-effect after major changes/patches. And I provided all the 'proof' that's required - my clear memory and recollection, across 70+ characters, many of which I know for certain I've logged into & played, well within the 200+ days the system now tells me they haven't been accessed for. I'm not accusing anyone of anything, most likely this is a system bug or glitch. Perhaps take our own advice and don't accuse people of lying without proof - it says a lot more about you than it does about them. Have a nice day ;).
  21. For the record, not that anyone cares, I think this a terrible decision that will not solve whatever it is trying to 'fix'. It just means that returning players will get forced to rename toons, who they may have spent hours with working up a theme that matches the costume and powerset and NAME, only to have that 'stolen' from them by some speculator who they can now see running around Atlas with it with their toon, because for some reason CoH thinks that, unlike any other thing you 'own', a goods or service that in unused for some arbitrary period of time should be a free-for-all and anyone can just take it. Ahem. My only other issue is that all of a sudden, I see most of my 70+ toons under level 50 at 200+ days, when I an 100% certain I have logged into many, if not most of them within at least the last 100 days. What the hells is up with that??? Did you just add +100 days to everyone's expiry time to keep the whiners happy...? This will create a lot more unhappy campers than happy entitled ones, mark my words. And you know where that path leads...all the best with the decision!
  22. My least squishy blaster I've ever tried is a dark/ninja. And I only use maybe 3 ninja powers. Back on live I got my ice/fire blapper Kelvin Ator to mid 40s through sheer force of will, eh.
  23. I feel the same way about some other common mmo terms, such as 'proc', which just doesn't really describe what it's trying to ('trig' would be better, eh). There are others. For me, a mostly PvE solo carebear, I'd always rather know what AT/power combos are going to be the most fun for me and my play style. Not that I have any style, ahem. I do have rampant alt-o-holism, so of all the combos I've tried, the ones that have blown me away, not in any order, would be: - Ill/Dark troller - Necro/Dark MM - Dark/Ninja blaster - Fortunata - Peacebringer - Plant/Thorns Dom - anything Marine recently heh (Water Def was awesome) - any tanker if you have a face to roll 🙂
  24. Cheers, downloaded for reference! Love the name btw 😉 The little I've already played of mine (Aquatica Nightshade, my dom is called Belladona Nightshade :), she is a beast in groups, where trollers obviously shine. Once I get closer to the full kit in the mid-late 20s, I'll take her on some solo plant marine clandestine work lol! I couldn't live without Stealth that long, and love my Fly/Mystic Flight (I also find Evasive Maneuvers a lot better than Hover, although you can save a pool power by going Flight/Mystic + Hover I guess). You get a damn good teleport with Mystic too of course, which is faster than Flight for traversing zones, plus you can macro auto-TP-retreat to high above mobs after alpha-pbaoe-ing them when you solo :).
  25. To be sure! Honestly, the most obvious face-roll solo ATs I've played were tankers - almost too easy, if slow TTK eh. My Psi/Shield was ridonculously easy mode, but just not my preferred play style, as I generally don't like melee classes in mmos (unless I'm playing a hybrid or an arpg like D3/4/PoE/LE/etc). As someone says on the tanker forums: "Wanna be Godlike, pick anything...wanna BE a God...pick a tank" 😁
