[Assault Rifle Revamp Live Means New Character Time!]

Actually now reading Full-auto may NOT scourge? Maybe its better to roll Blaster as the abilities from AR don't lean into the Corruptor strength?

[Assault Rifle Revamp Live Means New Character Time!]

So, what pairs nicely with Assault Rifle as a secondary?
With the new full-auto buff increasing the angle, I assume Scourge will be lovely with our "nuke."

Since early days of live, I REALLY wanted to love Assault Rifle, as a die-hard Punisher fan - now seems like a great time, but can't find a good pairing.
Kinetics is usually my go-to, but I feel it may be rough - but then again, could be wrong with the redraw changes too. 

Thoughts?

All this info is amazing! Thank you so much everyone.
Lot of reading to do, but ecstatic at some of these changes since live.

Hey everyone.

Yet another player from back at live, returning after a while. I dabbled a bit, then jumped out, and finally back in and want to play a MM.

However, it seems most of what I remember is obsolete, so I am hoping I can get a few questions clarified.

If it helps with details, I am going Necro/Dark.

 

1. How do you slot the pets, and the upgrades now? I remember acc/dam would be slotted WAY back, but it seems that isn't the case anymore? I saw someone suggest just recharge or something in the help channel on Excelsior.

 

2. Is it still worth using macros to micro-manage pet movement? I remember there were specific macros that helped with managing them - and is bodyguarding still a thing (is there benefit still?)?

 

3. Specifically for Necro MM - How do I slot the blast powers with the new mechanic on them that summons the shade pet?

 

And general one I guess - is there a good guide for "Hey, returning to CoH? Welcome Back, here are things you should know!"? Between the P2W vendor, I/O leveling, merits, and other things I have heard - I feel like I am missing out on a lot that could be helpful.

 

Thank you in advance, and sorry for so many questions!
