The Mighty Paladin

Druids are a lot easier than wizards and the spells I listed are THE Spells that Define the class for me and most of the people I play with. If I wanted an all fire wizard I wouldn't even be posting here, there are lots of different fire builds I could use. My problem is that ALL of the builds are too focused. (except for dual pistols, and trick arrows as a few people have pointed out but those won't pass for a wizard) I would like some sets with some variety. and I don't think that's too much to ask.

I don't level after 50, so the incarnate stuff is totally outside my experience. And please don't suggest I try it. I'm not gonna not ever again.

I wasn't surprised at all because I've tried all of these combos and none have been satisfying. I think the biggest problem is not being able to get lightning bolts and fireballs on the same character. In this context I mean a big ball of fire that hits several targets in the same area and a powerful straight line lightning attack. Every possible combo gives either one or the other, with the absent power being replaced by some control or defensive ability using the missing attack's element. And of course recoloring will not make something that isn't a lightning bolt, or isn't a fireball look like one.

First of all many characters have more specific themes to them, not everyone wants to be a jack of all trades. The characters I make pick a set that matches who I want them to be. Blue Blaze will always be a fire blaster, Cool Dude will always be an ice blaster, and Thunder Knight will always be an Electric Melee Tanker. I just want something that can make a different type of character that I haven't been able to make before. If you're asking why some minimaxing munchkin wouldn't choose this set over all of the others, I'd assume because it isn't inherently better than any other set just different.

I was picturing something like the Magic users from First edition AD&D. I don't expect to get all of the spells, and I can get magic missile, flight, Teleport, and invisibility from the pool powers. But the thing that's missing for me is a ranged attack set with no theme that mixes Fireball, lightning, bolt, cone of cold and maybe a summoning or control power. I think it would be best if there were a primary and secondary that go together. The secondary would include protection powers and maybe a hold that turns the target to stone or traps them in ice. I'm not asking for the set to be more powerful that other sets, just to have more variety than the other sets.

So far the character who works best is a Corruptor with Radiation Blast and Radiation Emission. I just recolored all of his abilities and pretend they're the type of attacks I want.

I've been attempting to make a Wizard character in COH but it's kind of frustrating because none of the power sets have the variety I'm looking for. I of course take a variety of pool powers, like Sorcery, and concealment, but I'm still not able to make it work. I would like a magic control power set that could be available as a primary to Controllers, Defenders and Dominators, and as a secondary to Corruptors, Blasters, and Sentinels. It should include a fire blast, a lightning blast, a cold blast, a hold attack, and a confuse attack as well as a protective shield. Please consider this.

OMG THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!! THANKS DUDE!!!

I don't know what cell shading is but you got me curious so I checked it out. I can't find it. I looked under advanced graphics settings. Either it isn't there, or it's called something else.

Simple: I the game looked as modern as it could back when it was made. It doesn't any more.

Even before City of Heroes officially closed down, I read online comments about how the game was showing it's age. Whenever I talk about superheroes online people tell me I'm living in the past, and that my views about how superheroes should look and act are just outdated. Here, I suggest that a cosmetic change would make the game look better, and I'm told that it's retro and I just don't get it. How was I supposed to get it. It was never hinted at. I had no idea it was a style choice, I just thought updating it was something the devs had never bothered to do. I still think it would be better if they updated it. And I hope they do. But if this really is something they want that's fine too.

I've been looking around Paragon City and I've noticed a few things that could be changed to update the look of the game. I don't know if this is actually possible but, if it is, I'd like to see it. please. 1. Replace all computer monitors in the game with flat screens, and make the keyboards black. If you prefer you could avoid having to update again in a few years by replacing these things with some sci-fi looking computers. 2. Remove all phone booths. 3. Delete all missions where your only objective is to go meet someone who you could easily call. that is all for now

My son wants a new power set that uses a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. Personally I think that could easily be done by allowing blasters to take broadsword as their secondary set. Though you might need to give them a modified version of the set that includes a stronger parry. or by allowing scrappers to take a handgun as a secondary set but That would have to be a new set since we currently only have dual pistols. Of course dual pistols suck and I think a lot of people would prefer a single handgun set (I know I would) This would be cool for pirate themed characters for the frog the went a courting and for a time traveler from the 1400s-1800s If the gun can be a blaster it could even work for a Jedi, John Carter or Flash Gordon type hero.

let me be a bit more clear about what I want some of the maps already available in the mission architect made available as starting bases that we can then edit. That's it. there are a LOT of features in those maps that would take forever for a player to make on his own and some that would be absolutely impossible, but they're already there in the game. Please just let us have them. You wouldn't have to make anything new.

having premade maps would also allow for some bases that currently would either take way too long to make or be pretty much impossible. like castles, caves, shops, garages, nightclubs, offices, warehouses, airports, docs, private homes, mansions, and pretty much any setting with a secret door leading to the hidden base. These types of settings and many others exist in game, in various locations, but are beyond most people's ability using the base editor.

But we want them Pretty

I was just thinking that it would be so much easier to build a base if I didn't have to start from absolute zero. Couldn't you give us the option of choosing a few premade maps that we could choose from and then edit to our liking? Like the maps we choose in mission architect?

I want a boomerang !!!!

I would love to have the option of certain weapons as costume pieces even if I don't have a power set that uses them. They would be purely cosmetic. That way I can have an angelic character with a sword and shield, who's actually a Defender with Empathy and Lightning blast. You could even have them effect some animations if you want. e.g. if a character chooses a handgun, the handgun firing animation could replace whatever animation he has for any ranged attack set. if he has a sword the sword animations could replace the animations for other melee sets (Then I could have a lightning sword.) ok that part is probably not possible, but dang it would be fun.

a full set of animations isn't needed. We do have animations for firing a single gun, one handed two handed, standing and kneeling. in addition you could have powers in the set that include aimed shots, quick shots, rapid fire, and everything they have in dual pistols just as alternate animations. you could even change the name of dual pistols to HANDGUNS, and allow every power to have a choice between two gun or one gun animations. No new animations would be needed. Just give players some new options.

this impossibility of a whole set with unique animations is the reason I proposed this as just a weapon you could take with sword or dual blades set. The free end of the nunchucks would have to spin when they're being used and you could even add figure 8s if you're feeling ambitious, but my main reason for wanting them is that I love nunchucks and I think a lot of other people do do. I'd much rather see my character in the game with nunchucks (even if they're not spectacular) than to never be able to see it ever. This is a dream I've had since this game was first created.

personally I'd be fine if single shot was just an alternate set of animations for dual pistols. It doesn't have to be a new set. But It would definatly get used because dual pistals are kind of dumb, and anyone who wants a cop or detective character would want a single handgun.

I was making a new character today and remembered another weapon I'd really love to have in the game. a large Chinese fan. It could be a type of sword or shield or both. though few people would fight with 2 fans (except a fan dancer) still it would be nice to either use it alone as a sword, or use it with a sword as a shield. Come to think of it several weapons could be used as shields to broaden the possibilities for two weapon fighting. like the tonfa you have under war mace, and the sais you have under sword and dual blades.

finally here is Kung Fu Lee enjoying the Knights of Kung Fu arena and swimming pool. Fireworks explode on the arena randomly to make it more exciting.
