as a full time dom player, i wouldn’t go with thorn personally, long animation times and “ok” damage ice/earth, ice/ice, ice/fire or ice/energy would get my vote ice/ice is fun for the combination of arctic air procced out and chilling embrace procced out, just pray to the gods above for some endurance! ice/ice goes really well with your glass theme too. i’d introduce just a really subtle amount of blue-ish green tint to your powers and it would work well definitely go for ice mastery too - defender strngth sleet is a real winner. soul also a banger for soul drain

things tend to fill pretty well on excelsior - i’m an EU player and am generally online between 5pm - 7pm EST, i expect things get a bit busier after this but seems popular enough to do any TF or trial i find the community not too bad on excelsior either, i think it gets a bad rep. i often see people who i’ve been bumping into since spring 2019

you are forgetting rule 1 of the PuG life: Rule 1: Turn off chat You have the ability to read messages in the LFG channel and send tells to the team lead in order to join, but you will find as soon as you’re in the team, you no longer need to communicate with anyone. It is crucial that you now become a mute, minimise the chat window - there will be nothing valuable to see here. You are a lone wolf, a maverick. Any instructions from the so-called team is a secret plot to ensure your demise, go your own way and trust nobody.

that’s really helpful, thanks man 🙂

i agree - i build most of my alts for output and procs. building for defense is generally an inefficient and sub-optimal strategy favoured by newer players given you can whack out /ah after each mish and stack up on insps. a medium purple gives 25% and the temp amplifier 5%, leaving just 15% to fill i have played a poison/fire def to 50 and wouldn’t recommend many other secondaries to pair with it. poison needs a high impact, high damage secondary to make it feel impactful. for the entire poison primary you don’t really notice any of the powers doing anything, fire gives the quick animation, satisfying impact the combination needs

ooh, i’m interested in this - can you link a guide? i’ll let you smash up my computer as a thank you 👍

I enjoy a bit of chaos, this is why I run the Posi TFs. I ran a Posi 1 team yesterday led by my incarnate kin defender, it lived up to its chaotic nature. The only ‘tank’ type on the team was a brute with no taunt, so the aggro was spraying everywhere. We wiped a few times on the last mission, so I immediately left the team, smashed my desktop with heavy boots and went to the pub with @Snarky ..so I decided to do what I can to contain the chaos. I made the best aggro holder I could think of - an ice/ice tank. Chilling embrace, icicles, taunt and ice patch should do the job. No. No.. On my second Posi 1, boy was I holding that aggro good. Man they were huddled around me.. Just one problem, where were most of the team? Answer: Continuously running after a scrapper who had a death wish and repeatedly dying along with 4 or 5 team members several times during the TF So I quit again and phoned @Snarky to come over and help me smash up my gaming laptop ..so I issued some directive instructions which seemed to help a bit. The blaster and dominator who stuck with me remained unscathed the entire TF Despite being a team of 8, there was no support AT to help me through some of the wild encounters, my insp tray was working hard but managed to keep it together and contain the aggro nicely Overall a surprisingly rewarding experience. I’ll continue with the ice/ice tank and see how it develops 7/10 Posi 1 experience

yes, you are a cat

someone posted a few graphs several weeks ago and it showed things are mostly stable over the 3 years

have a good one mate

i hear it’s swollen and uncomfortably enlarged this year

that is still very much an option which is chosen by many people, however the double XP buff is optionally available for those who want it, such as people like you who want to rush to lvl 50

why not test it on beta?

buy DO’s instead

i think because the game’s difficulty and challenge has been watered down so many times to homeopathic levels of interest, everything feels bland and uninspiring every archetype is any archetype, you can simply button mash your way to success in HC CoH

because you shouldn’t necro threads, but you should also use the search function rather than making a new post because the topic may already exist schrödinger’s forum whingers will never be pleased!

here we goooooooooooo

my good friend @Xiddo has played that combo for a number of years. i’ll let him chime in with his thoughts

i don’t think it’s possible for one person to manipulate the price as an experiment on another thread complaining about the price of common salvage i spent about 200M buying up every common salvage above the 10K seed price. the value immediately fell below this as soon as i stopped, despite theoretically the only stock available now being the 10K seeded price

what an active contributor!

so true, “kill X amount of Y in a zone they never spawn in”

yeah redside is quite dead, it’s mostly TFs that are ran do you monitor the LFG channel? it’ll make it easier to spot redside TFs forming

it’s a real shame Melt Armor is so crap, i have wanted to love thermal for so many years but it massively lets down the set if only one change, just halving its recharge time and leaving all other attributes along would significantly improve its worth

wasabi peas, yumyum
