hope you feel better soon mate

[Are Defenders Worth It?]

with a rad you’re not going to have the same tangible impact like you do with a set like kin, cold, thermal, nature etc where you can visually see the effects and see the numbers change

 

debuffs are still worthwhile, and good for applying damage procs into your powers. personal buffs don’t change the damage of a proc, but a 30% debuff increases its damage by 30%!

 

i have a rad/ice i play on test and really enjoy it. i’d say stick with it and enjoy the more relaxed pace on teams

So your original response should simply have been, "I'd go with scrapper", or, "Scrapper, because I don't like Brutes".

 

shhh, i need to hide my disdain for certain ATs under semi plausible excuses

Fury builds because you are attacking or being attacked. Fewer things attacking you due to being focused on other players and spending time moving because your target got killed faster due to others attacking your target is less Fury.

 

The reason Brutes move off on their own is often due to a team denying them Fury opportunities.

 

all the more reason to choose a scrapper then - i’ve never been a fan of brutes

You are positing it being easier to keep fury up on a team?

 

yeah - bigger mobs, more chaos. more often you’ll be hopping through sequentially large mobs near each other

 

when solo encounters are often less frequent and don’t last as long

[Scrapper or Brute?]

if you play solo i’d go scrapper so you’re not constantly feeling the need to chase fury

[Welcome to Homecoming, Original City of Heroes Team!]

amazing, welcome back!

 

everything’s going really well. people are having fun, there’s great balance in the game, we recently star.. oh, regen? yeah, uh he’s doing great too! lovely guy, always doing.. great..

 

can you see him?

 

eerrmm, i think.. i er, he’s at his parents right now.. somewhere far i think

 

a phone? no.. i don’t think he bought a phone with him.. you know regen haha, he likes to be disconnected from the world sometimes doesn’t he

 

anyway lovely to see you! just don’t go in that barn that’s making weak dull pain sounds, it’s uh.. haunted or something 

[Ultimate Kin/ Defender]

some thoughts if helpful

 

spoiler: cheap cheap cheap!

 

i use mine for mostly posi 1 and 2’s thesedays

 

if i was to re-roll my kin i’d likely go with /rad for the -def as i love my low lvl posi’s, helps with the CoT. /elec feels like an obvious pairing but kin is often so fast paced i don’t think the benefits of the end drain are able to shine

What is the current strategy for Eden trials, regular and master?

 

I have looked through posts on changes to Titan, modified effectiveness of Ambrosia, and complaints and suggestions.  It has left me a bit confused 

 

i confuse the titan on my mind dom, no ambrosia needed - handy

 

the other approach as Veracor says is to have a few key people pop some ambrosia and thrash through it all - some heals for the titan are useful. can complete the trial in around 5 minutes with a good team

Why the mastermind hate? I love masterminds and I play them a lot. I also don't see teams carrying a well slotted and well played mastermind. I've seen badly played ones where the player has no idea how to control their pets, but that's the minority

dunno, I’ve many MM’s who are more effective than /Regen scrappers and I’ve many of those also.

 

perhaps

 

but when i’m recruiting on a team and i see the person i’ve invited is a mastermind, it’s like asking a mate to come to the pub for a pint and he turns up with his wife and 4 children who are running all over the place

i’d still much rather play a /regen than any mastermind though

[AOE Damage, how does it work?]

each get the full damage 

[Need help with a ICEx3 Dom]

i go with intuitive radial paragon on my mind/fire. 33% +dmg, 33% -slow and 20% range, quite handy

 

given you’re ice/ice, musc or intuitive would be fine if you don’t have end problems

What do you expect? Do you want someone at NCSoft to call you personally?

 

It’s a damp but mild afternoon in winter, the rain is persistent but not heavy. The clouds above move slowly and show no signs if being in a hurry to go anywhere. The moisture has darkened everything around. It’s peaceful. Calm. Quiet. The only sound made is of rain drops falling from the trees and hitting an old stone path in the churchyard.

 

@Sovera approaches the wall of the church grounds and opens the low, small gate. It makes a unconfident squeak as it opens, before gently swinging back to its original position with a muted clack, the wood sodden from several days of rain.

 

He walks slowly up the path, past the large yew trees which have long called this place their home, and the many grave stones, several leaning gently backwards towards the sky as water makes its way down their mossy fronts.

 

As Sovera approaches the church, the heavy cast iron handle on the door softly but meaningfully turns. The door opens outwards revealing an elderly priest who steps into the rain. The clergyman lifts his clean, cared-for black hat slightly, revealing his experienced but calm eyes. His unhurried stare catches Sovera’s vision as he waits for him to move closer.

 

Sovera’s pace slows as he draws closer to the priest, he comes to a stop several yards from the man and continues to look straight ahead. The two men stand paused in silence as if they are both letting the sound of the dripping rain introduce themselves without words.

 

”Is it done?” Sovera asks the priest.

 

”Yes.” He replies, “It is done.”

 

The men pause again, before the priest breaks his gaze with Sovera to look at the ground briefly before walking back into the church. The door closes with a thud as the handle announces its movement with a dull clank.

 

”Then it is so.” Proclaims Sovera, before he too turns and walks away.

[PC Gamer Article on Homecoming's Deal with NC]

great to see.

 

whilst many of us do have a moan or have strong opinions about developments, the HC team is unequivocally professional in how they run this operation. it’s no surprise NC Soft have placed their trust in the devs
