With Hasten, I just pushed it off since it's a level 50+ character respec. And for the S&L Def, the total is sitting at 51.4%, so above the softcap, with all toggles clicked on. I'm just curious if fitting in the teleport pool would cripple the build or not.

My apologies. Here is the linked build! Voila - Blaster (Dual Pistols - Martial Combat).mbd

Hey folks! This is the build I've been using for a while now, and I want to post it here. It's very effective, sure, but there are some tweaks I'd like to make on it and I wanted to ask for advice. I want to take the Teleport Power Pool. I'm considering giving up Leaping to do so. Is that going to be the end of the world? I have also been told that I have too many attacks, and I'm inclined to agree as I rarely use some when it comes down to the wire. Do you have any critiques for me or see any wiggle room I could make? Thanks in advance! ((Data chunk below, since I can't seem to get Mids to work on the forums now? Do you have any idea why it won't accept a build?))

Hello, When choosing an Aura, if you select the "Butterflies" aura, you have the option to choose "Butterflies - Heavy" or "Butterflies - Light", however, even when choosing the "light" option, the graphic remains the same as "Heavy." Furthermore, if you select "Butterflies - Light" and then finalize your costume, it reverts back to "Butterflies - Heavy" when you go back to a tailor to edit your costume. Could we possibly have the option to use "Butterflies - Light" aura returned, please? Thank you!

I want to express so many thanks to CoH Pride, The Wild Cards, Scions of Everlasting, Chaos United, Club Kyabakura, @Crystal Dragon, @Tanklet and SO SO many others. They pooled together over TWO BILLION influence to help fund these two CCs and bring so much more unity to the community. There were people who HATED this idea, and even harassed me, OOC, on discord and ingame for suggesting it. So many came out of the woodwork to "debate me". There was no debate, because there was no discussion. I cannot express the proper amount of gratitude to everyone who showed up to participate and support this. On December 3rd, 1976, two days before "Smile Jamaica", a free concert organized to ease tensions between warring political groups, Bob Marley, his wife, and manager were wounded in an assault by unknown gunmen outside of Marley's home. Bob Marley went on to perform as scheduled, and when asked why, considering it had only been two days since he was attacked, he replied with this fantastic quote that I will end this thread on: "The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I?"

The grand prize winners of the First CC and the second CC together! Voodoo Dawn helped with judging on this one. Starpass was actually her top pick!

Today's winners!

REMINDER: This is today! 2PM EST.

Due to the success of last week's contest, and the remaining donations, I was planning to run Part 2 today, however I've come down with Covid, and coupled with the Super Bowl, I feel it would be best to schedule this for NEXT SATURDAY, February 17th, at 2PM EST.

The winners and honorable mentions from today's CC. We had an incredible turnout. Some hate was to be expected, but we overcame it. 1st place: Voodoo Dawn 2nd place: Sango 3rd place: Stereoheart 4th place: Chainweaver 5th place: Doctor Voltronic Honorable mentions: Captain Ghana, Calignosity, Buffalo Souldier (Not pictured). It was a blast, and due to the reception, we are looking at hosting a SECOND CC with the same theme next weekend. I will pick a time that does not interfere in the Abyss Hami raid. Please keep an eye out for it!

A reminder that this is happening TODAY at 3PM EST! So 2 hours and 55 minutes from now!

I found some African-inspired names that are free in honor of Black History month. I hope these will spark some creativity and interest from some folks who stumble upon these names! As well, I will be hosting a costume contest tomorrow (2/4/2024) at 3PM EST in Atlas. We have 1 BILLION influence in prizes! The theme is celebrating black history month through our own black heroes that we create and play in the game, so please come and participate or just spectate!

Hello! I'm looking to host a costume contest tomorrow, 2/4/2024, in Atlas Plaza at 3PM EST/12PM PST. The theme is celebrating Black Excellence, so show up and represent on your favorite Black/African hero or villain. I'd love to see a great turn out for this, and if it goes well, impromptu as it is, I will try to host another next weekend. Original characters and concepts please! Mimicking copyrighted characters is against the code of conduct. Thanks to generous donations from CoH Pride, The Wild Cards, Scions of Everlasting and Chaos United, we are giving away 1 BILLION INFLUENCE at tomorrow's costume contest! We have some VERY generous members of this community.

I had worked towards that, at first, but I noticed that the ranged defense HAS come in handy, even with my PA being up at all times. I was doing the Bane Spider Rescue hero morality at +4/x8 and there were a few times that the mobs were so large that they attacked me for a moment and that defense saved me.

So, taking advice from both @Wimbochismo and @Psyonico this is what I've come up with for a build. Please, I welcome ANY and all critiques. I'd love to get perma Phantom Army without needing the Alpha Slot. With this, I'm able to solo +4/x8 Arachnos/Malta/Carnies so far, but I feel it could be better. Also, I'm not sure how to copy/paste builds here anymore. I can only attach them. NewIllusion.mbd
