i see. But even theoretically it’s not. Bio andRad exist.

Aight first of all dont besmirch my fave AT. BAD blasters lean on those :P. Secondly I agree. Look, regen can be made playable…with goddamn near 800mil inf. Im not wasting that kinda inf on ‘playable’ performance

I never had a perma-dom preshutdown. I have several now. Oh and the ability to tank as a dom was just too good. It's like being a controller, but having an iota of damage outside of outliers like Illu and /Storm. And fire I guess but it's fire 😛

Bio Armor. Every other set is...existent. Rad Armor gets a special mention.

I find that getting a build with purps and such is fairly easy to do once you’ve got a toon that you stockpile things on. No unreasonableness involved. A little planning and stockpiling can and should take you a long way

Interesting question. I use AE to PL. I definitely dont owe anyone here even the SLIGHTEST reason for anything I do, but I guess I’ll play ball: I dont have the energy or time to getnew 50s through Radios( literally farming but apparently more acceptable?). I had 25+ 50’s the old fashioned way. Any new ones will be PL’ed, plain ‘n simple. I can understand the doorsitter spam. I just laugh and ignore them, since it’s actually not too difficult to just PL a farmer yourself then PL yourself with said farmer

So is it the rares that make use of Uncommon salvage causing you issue? Is it the VR/PvP IO's? I'm not sure what's got you in a fuss so much over uncommon salvage. I can understand the issue on rare salvage kinda cause of purps needing them. But uncommon not only drops like crazy, but technically isn't even needed except in very niche instances. And attuned IO's seemingly limit that niche even further.

This is a meme right? I'm trying to stay hip with the CoH meme community. 😛

It is the 4chan server in that it's wild west. And some random internet person thinking they know what's better for someone else? I gotcha: Your new home: https://www.reddit.com/

They're incompatible in code or something? I dunno. But every single thing TS releases is a buggy mess. Cool! Decent concept, but boy is it buuuuugy. They have the Primalist, an AT I would literally make two of( I never make two of the same Epic AT.) if it weren't so buggy/was on here. But alas, incompatibility engine wise 😧

I agree with you here, Az. I take tough and weave on all my 50s. It's like the OG days of having to grab stamina for me back before fitness was inherent. I just...kinda do it, plus even if you don't slot it, if you don't have defense(i.e RadA), you can get either a free mule or some minor def from it. Vice versa for def based sets.

Edit: Doomsinger's pic isn't showing, so for now I will just showcase Battlemage 😛 And below, my obligatory sorcerer with a checkered past who is simply trying to do the best he can for himself and possibly others(Vigilante), Battlemage Steele. Been told his bio gives off Dresden Files vibes so I will now claim that was my plan all along! something something fell into my trap something something.

Blasphemy! Blapper is best melee 😄. Worst would have to be Kin Melee with anything but stalker. You literally don't even get build up.

Nope! They happen periodically on Everlasting too. Seems the server gods are not happy as of late.

Water assault would be amazing! Would mean not having to make Icy for an elemental feel at least >.> Not that Icy really sucks or anything..

Dark Astoria(OG): Very spooky to see as a kid. And awesome, the hollow sound, and the ghost? Awesome. The Chantry: Path of Tears was pretty to listen to, and I made a habit of ALWAYS hearing it whenever I had to go to the zone. Faathim was interesting to see for the first time. Founders Fall: Neat pretty zone that looked like a mini Venice I think? Night Ward: Starry night sky to an avid Stargazer. This zone is a trap for me if I'm not careful Imperial City: It looks like a cleaner version of New York.

Fire Blast/Temporal Manipulation, and probably flight. While Fly is over-played, it's only because it's THAT useful. Sure in the hell beats waiting in traffic. Fire for well...fire. Its' offensive capabilities are needed for self-defense or maybe a little strong-arming, and temporal to heal my wounds/rewind myself when needed, or kinda mess with time for a bit whenever it suits me to do so. As far as what I'd do? Subtly use them for my own personal gain. The hell do I look like? Mother Teresa? 😛

They did kinda. Honestly no excuses, the tank role is to keep the team safe. Easiest goddamn class in the game, easiest goddamn role, and people STILL mess it up. Baffling. It’s why I build my toons for survival. I assume if I’m not tanking, the real “tank” with FUBAR. Not always right but it’s best to assume I will be. I don’t waste my time explaining this to folks unless they ask, instead, I show them up with my blasters/fenders/trollers, then they seemingly get pissed/quit

Same with my Fire/Time! Been seeing a lot of those lately, wonder why? 🤔 Blasters are exactly like cast iron skillets, reliable, little pricey, and generally will last you for a multitude of years or your money back guaranteed!

Sorry about that cringe fest 😅

Haha no you don't. You pulled this crap in CO, and I was wondering how long it would be before you pull this BS here. Look, this isn't CO, so please don't repeat similar mistakes like you did with them. I don't RP in CoH much anymore, time and whatnot, but when I do every once in awhile, it's always chill. There's only one group of folks I will never team with on a regular basis, nor RP with, and usually they mess up Mo runs so I kinda hold that against them :P. But, otherwise the RP'ers here are mostly chill. EDIT: You aren't most people, your opinion isn't -that- important. You are ONE person. I've been with CoH since two years after launch and even -I- don't presume to know everyone here. Your audacity is irritating.

I'd say taunts aren't needed at all to maximize damage, most Ice/Fires, or Fire/* have enough defense to be tanks themselves. I know for a fact mine has the melee hybrid with taunt to purposely tank, as I'm finding more tanks w/o taunt, or who for some odd reason see me charge/nuke ONE mob ONE time( I'm gonna do it again but that's not the point :P), and figure they can cowar behind me let me lead the charge for the rest of the mishs. Still do crazy levels of damage, yet now I am also the tank, and the support partially [Ageless for the low end buddies].

My question always is: What makes a toon feel reduced to these levels? Is it because you don’t do a smattering of damage compared to fire? They shouldn’t, it’s FIRE. Or is it the lack of NEEDING support. My problem is if support is ever NEEDED, I feel many will not be able to progress on their own time anf schedule because they don’t have a support with them. I want folks to feel valued, but never EVER needed.

Okay we may be debating but hang with me here. Maybe it's something like what OP described but tweaked a little(anger towards the supernatural community?) and then go from there? Might have something that could be put into some form of community RP/intrigue. The whole pro-magic, neutral, anti-magic shtick. Might be an interesting ordeal...

Ironically, I don't play god characters (folks may be lead to believe I do. But once more, I felt bad for that elf person RPing, since, you know...RP is just for fun/pretendy times). My take on magic is while the magic itself as an element is limitless, doesn't mean the character is. I like to utilize caster typology to create diverse characters with different abilities, desires, cultures, etc.. and of course, intrinsic limitations. A warlock, of which I have 3 I think, utilizes the stereotypical hell-magic, with different twist of course based on the character and their personality. They have their limits, but are offensively in my canon top of the caster food chain. Even my mages with time magic( chronomancy to be official I guess?) have an interesting take on time. Time for them is viewed as an ocean, and usually is forbidden to practice, not because you'll be bustedly OP, in fact they really only can manifest it in subtle ways(temporal manipulation for blasters, so more self support and soft CC), but because it usually drives the practitioner insane( you try controlling a literal ocean and studying every minute possibility in it :P). *Some addendums I wanted to make: -In no way did I mean to attack the creator of the arc. I don't know their arc from tom dick or harry, so I can't judge what I haven't played. -Talking of true originality; everyone knows true originality is pedantic and impossible, and utilizing it in a debate is the equivalent of what-aboutism for literature. Differentiation creates what is acceptable originality over repetition. This would require me to go into a diatribe on what I believe constitutes story and storytelling that...honestly I don't think anyone wants another diatribe 😛 -I really did feel bad for that poor individual. Being tight-assed on RP doesn't make an aficionado or good RP, it makes for an exclusionary experience. People will not partake in the activity if they feel they can't make a mistake, learn, and still be welcomed back in to try again. Remember folks, we're here to have fun! Unless you're writing a critically acclaimed graphic novel from this, don't take it seriously. (Even if you are. don't take it seriously :P)
