It's... ok. For what I'm using it for, it's ok. I wish the proc was something I noticed more often. I don't see the propagation of the proc nearly as much as I had hoped. Ultimately? Skippable, imo.

I had the image created with free software. It might have been a link from these forums or Reddit, I can't recall, sorry.

Well, as a musician, I use my own songs 🙂 As an example; My main redside toon -

You can usually tell when someone is harshing your gig. They roll up on you, turn their back so their camera angle can get as much as they can, then "poof!" they log. I've seen "my" heroes on several servers. With so many alt's, I can't be bothered to be put out honestly. It's not like I play them all. It if was my "main", like a LEGITIMATE main? Scorched earth. Highlander Scenario engaged.

Ok, one more respec is in the books. After excellent advice ( again, thank you kindly ) I've taken what I could and did what I could. I did a complete overhaul so as to make it a viable leveling build as well. Tesla Hammer is on Excelsior and progressing relatively well. I am concerned about my total HP's. Seems irresponsibly low 😄 Tesla Hammer - Brute (War Mace - Electric Armor).mbd

Yep, my experience as well. When I first started I had initially taken Bsh --> Pulv --> Jawbreaker, and that was decent. When I streamlined, unsurprisingly the slower Pul sorta made me much more reliant on the Black Wand and the Nemesis Staff, which as an old live player ... rankles a tad 🙂 It feels cheaty. I know I can choose not to use them, and I'm a hypocrite in that regard because I'm just not getting rid of them. 🙂

Perhaps take the "incorrectly" slotted whirling mace for a test in the test server. It works as intended. Whether it's more useful to have "one more" attack power vs one more aoe utility is personal preference and play style. I'm not ignorant to games, game play and theory crafting, I'm just ignorant to the mechanics of CoH. Doing something different is how you find the new meta, if you will, instead of being a lemming and following the crowd. I searched for builds you have submitted to get a feel for your "style" of building but all I find are suggestions to change ... a lot. I'd be interested in your building. Again, as a learning exercise.

Thank for this. It made me dive deep into the defense AT's. I was unaware of the way DDR and Res worked in relation to each other, especially so during potential debuffing (sic) fights. Cascading failure was something I didn't know about. I haven't played much at max level or see nearly all the types of foes yet. You were correct in the surmising I was chasing melee, I was, in the hopes of off-setting DEF shortcomings.

I appreciate the advice. I've made a few changes along with your suggested changes. Thunderstruck - Brute (War Mace - Electric Armor).mbd

@twozerofoxtrot Would something like this serve we well? Given the info about whirling mace, I turned it into a damage mitigatory power instead of straight on damage. Thunderstruck - Brute (War Mace - Electric Armor).mbd

Thank you kindly!

Hello, I'm interested in War Mace, I've not settled on an armor AT but I'm leaning Electric as I've not done that on a Brute and it looks interesting to me. I look at War Mace and am reminded of Stone Melee, a little. So I feel like I'd enjoy it. The early picks though... I'm admittedly suffering from paralysis from analysis. Any gurus feel like sharing experience? Much appreciated!

Ball lightening is glacially slow. In some builds it would be fine, in this one, it's just a poor fit in the attack chain. I so WANTED to have it, but it tested poorly for me. Borrow away! I'm flattered, and certainly not shy about borrowing myself 😉 From you, even!

Theme build off of an AI generated picture. Shadowstorm 2 - Scrapper (Electrical Melee - Ninjitsu).mbd

Thanks for that 🙂 I'm a bit worried about my Energy/Negative defense on whole. I know I have the ranged/melee/aoe softcapped to offset it a little bit but still.

Hello, A bit of a click-bait title 🙂 Apologies. So I have wanted to play Sentinel and made a short foray but wasn't having fun. I've made a themed attempt again and started playing it. So far it's been pretty fun, so, time for a rough draft build to semi-sorta follow. Is this way off course? It seems ok so far. I'm only lvl 10 doing solo story arc content. Any sentinel gurus care to take a look, if you please?

I slot, and maintain So's from level 2 on in every power - without giving myself funds. All my atls are self sufficient.

Mindless button mashing can certainly spoil the party. I've not had the issues described, but then I build differently than others too. I don't care about Pylon this or min/max that. I want a smooth attack chain and toughness. I also don't fall prey to constant comparing to other sets and take it as it's own thing. My KB is 12 taking nothing special or ruinous to the output. I couldn't imagine putting another toggle in 🙂 As you say, it's got enough.

I'll toss out Dark / Martial Arts. AOE - no problem Heals - No problem Debuffs? - No problem Utility? - No problem Resists? - Without buffs only 2 of mine aren't @90 and those two are above 60. With RoP they both hit 90. Defense? - Half are 40 or better, the rest are 25 at the lowest. Damage? - It doesn't suck.

I took a stab at it 🙂 Changed my mind about the sapper, seems that's kinda parlor trick more than viable strategy in CoH. https://api.midsreborn.com/build/download/FABZO5R0riwzGq3r TSL-A Mk1 - Hero

Curious if anyone has a Electric Blast / Energy Aura sapper-leaning build lying around? 🙂 I'm able to open every single one except every one @Underfyre submitted. Of course they are the only one to submit an Ele/EA build.

Hello, I'm pretty new to building advanced builds but have been getting great advice on builds. So, I'm obviously no expert, but I do have a build I made a few days ago that I'm using to level up with. Truth be told, it will be my fire farmer, but I wanted to use him for solo play ( my preferred playstyle these days do to health reasons ). He's been pretty fun, and no hiccups thus far doing all story arc content. No deaths either, which surprises me 😄 Anyway, hopefully this tempts someone to take a stab at your build. I'll supply mine so you can maybe get a few ideas or at least nudges in a particular direction. Take care! Thermospike Brute (Spines - Fiery Aura).mbd

Good enough for me 🙂 Thank you sir.

If I go into Mu instead for Zapp and Lightning Ball would I be able to repurpose the Power Crash slot or would it be even more aoe goodness to keep? I'm looking at the build now while I'm able.

Thank you both. Working on it now. I had most of it. As for the recharge, I'm in the sweet spot with the original build as when activated resurgence bumps it past 230ish? I enjoy trying to learn how to make these work better. Kinda like a crossword puzzle to this old guy 🙂 Thank you both again. I'll try to get a build up later. In frankness, I'm really not up to it today. R&R day for sure. Be well.
