^Thanks for that. I'd love slotting suggestions/refinements if you (or anyone else) has them!

Hi all, I'm trying to build my pyro dom and I was hoping for help/suggestions. This is the first build I've tried to make myself, so I'm pretty clueless on both build intricacies and Mids, but I tried my best to put up a good starting point. I based this build after Foxfire's Pyro/Arsenal, then tried to adjust for energy. I'd love feedback and suggestions for improving this build. I like to zip in and out of melee, so this build is aimed at that. The idea is to cast Glittering Column, then zip in, cast Hypnotizing Lights and Incendiary Aura, pop off a Whirling Hands, then zip back to range for AoEs and snipes, etc. Rinse and repeat. As such I prioritized Ranged Defense, but that all might be folly. Not sure. So what terrible mistakes did I make and how can I correct them? Thanks!

Bump because I'd love to see some too.

So ever since the shutdown of the login server and crash, I've been getting recurring mapserver issues, which basically never happened to me before. Worse in busy zones, like Abyss or the ToT groups in PI. My internet seems fine. I've speedchecked and rebooted it. No issue with anything else. Only COH. I've also been getting lag here and there, including in my base. Excelsior server. Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks for this! I've been leveling up a Stalker and using SwitchFade's build from the Wayback Machine, but it's a lot easier to have it all here. That said, your Mids link doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks! Would you mind throwing up your build? I'd love to see it.

Hey all, I leveled up a Inv/SS Tanker (Babe the Blue Ox) to 50 using the NUTCRCKR build, and while he's definitely hard to kill, he's not as much fun to play as I'd like. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I don't love Char and Heat Metal, and I find the Hurl animation a bit slow. Overall, he just doesn't shine likes my FA/EM tank, so he's been sitting on the shelf. I've been thinking of trying to respec him into Spring Attack in place of Hurl, and adding Boxing and Cross Punch in place of the fire stuff. Which would be more in character anyway. Does anyone use either or both of these? Are they fun? Anyone have a build that they love that uses them but doesn't sacrifice too much survivability? I don't really care if it's Resist or Def based, just as long as I can still, you know, tank and have a little more fun. Thank moo!

Does anyone know if these numbers are still current/accurate? I know there have been some adjustments, but I'm not sure if they postdate these numbers. I've been using Banished Pantheon, and they seem to work well, but I hate how they look. I'd much rather use Storm or Polar Lights, because they fit my character better. But I don't want to take a huge performance hit. Also I'm an Ice/Ice blaster and the -ColdRes% on BP seems like a very good idea. If these charts, etc are still accurate, Polar Lights are -Def%, which would probably still boost my dps. Any thoughts? Should I stick with the ugly BPs? Or are PL and/or Storm close enough these days that I won't notice any dropoff?

Any former members of Safe Harbor (Champion) SG on Excelsior? I was a founding member and I'm back playing. Same main, Blue Frost. @Blue Frost Let me know!

Blue Frost here! Dunno if anyone remembers me. I just started playing Homecoming for goofs. Excelsior server.
