Also, changes only violate the “Cottage Rule” when Captain Powerhouse says that they do, since he’s the actual Homecoming Dev.

Miracle, Numina and Panacea procs will cover most End issues, then it’s just adding some set bonuses.

You can pretty much ignore Sappers if you have capped Energy defense. 😁

I tend to make use of both Fighting and Leadership on nearly all of my melee builds. It makes building much easier and less expensive on both slots and IOS.

Venture, the thing that makes Brutes capable of reaching those levels is Invention Origin sets. They start out with Scrappper-level defenses and can cap at Tanker levels (although, their hit points aren’t the same). Brutes are fine (even with the slight damage cap reduction), this is just giving Tankers some long needed Parity. That was a good catch on that taunt magnitude increase. Most people might not remember that from the original patch notes. If Brutes are constantly taking aggro, then my guess is that you’re running Willpower, which does have a weaker aggro aura. If so, add a Taunt IO(s) into that and cycle Taunt into your attack chain. Also, the 17-mob aggro cap can allow some aggro hemorrhaging, so be aware of that.

If Hurl had an AoE component, I would pick that thing up the moment that it was available.

Going the Merit route, the only ones that are costly are the ATOs. Thanks to Converters, everything else is dollar-store cheap.😁

To be fair, Captain Powerhouse has already said that AE farming isn’t taken into account for balance issues. You’ll likely just have to gut-check it and drive on.

Add 291,600,000 to that build (of which you should have kept 51,600,000, at a maximum, if you sold all of that as Converters in Wentworth).

I have received the tip in both Kallisti Wharf (level 45) and Peregrine Island (level 50).

Captain Powerhouse originally said something about looking into a vote. I wonder how that process would turn out.

I am very much looking forward to that test.

This right here. More options are always better than less.

I agree. Let the Homecoming team make the change instead of you.

I love it! If this “dual to keep names” ever became a thing, you would likely be responsible for the rewrite of PvP as we know it.🤣

The same place that Duncan McLeod hides that Katana.

You try to slot Tanker ATOs and realize that they are Brute ATOs...

I thought this as well and yes, I am having the exact same issue.

Store-Bought Origin Enhancements. What you would call Attuned Enhancements now. They added the sets as attuned IOs months after the City of Heroes: Freedom beta testing (SBOs were in the game after that patch, they just hadn’t been turned on).

Rad/*. You can never go wrong with a good Rad Defender on the team.

A timeframe that I am able to attend. Let me take a look at what I can come up with.

I can’t help you with this one because I don’t store wealth, I use it to continuously gear up all of my alts with IO sets. I currently have 26 characters (the Tanker changes prompted me to make more than my obligatory Tanker Tuesday one), 10 of which possess their entire IO build complement and one more needing a few dozen more. Now, I just start gearing them up during Teaming downtime.

If only we had an event like this.

After your testing, one thing that I am sure about is that stacked-Rage Super Strength is broken and should be adjusted to the Captain’s original non-stacking idea.

I have access to the thermostat, so very much yes.
