i agree. the -res component of sonic will work nicely with illusion in my opinion psi assault is one of the worst performing secondaries available for doms but is buoyed by people’s memories of it being good 15 years ago on live

i would go the opposite route - various parts of the market are to no longer be seeded, or seeded less heavily so that natural prices exist with converters, seeded salvage and “any IO is all levels” the market has become a bit artificial

some thoughts as someone who mains a mind/fire dom - overall it seems fine, nothing drastically wrong - Combustion isn't overly great, the animation time is really long - Fire blast is a good power worth having - I wouldn't bother with tough and weave, all your powers are mostly ranged. Just lock stuff down rather than trying to tank mobs - I like the slotting of fireball - I expect you'll need more endurance, slot out health with some more endurance or recovery procs, put some more endurance into stamina - I don't think incinerte will proc that often give its fast recharge, i'd just put hecatomb in it - Rain of fire is awful - I'd 2 slot embrace of fire - Super speed at lvl 49 is a bit odd, you will never exemp a single time?

with mud pots and similar powers generally have a 2 second tick rate as noted the damage would be half that amount surely damage (base, before slotting) would be 7.59 x 5 = 37.95 over a 10 second period else you’d need it to cast 26 damage per tick, which if procced heavily could be achievable

Why I’m Leaving: The forum server is down

yes as described in a recent thread by another player, all alts by page 30 will be converted into a perfectly uniform, grey cube you may play your hero cube through a number of challenges and click on your uniform cube powers T1-9. each T1 deals 10 damage up to T9 which deals 90 damage base this is the ultimate final form for perfect balance

what a peasant

we were given paradise but we destroyed it what have we done

yeah, even just completing 2-3 taskforces a week and using the merits to buy an LoTG +rech or similar will give you 5m inf a week and that’s a less efficient method than the converter strategy you’ve described

what have i started, can't put the lid back on pandora's box now

uh oh

have you considered donating plasma? i hear you have quite the collection

what is your playstyle? teams or solo? what sort of things do you enjoy? put 2 acc in each of your kin powers, heal in transfusion, recharge in all others. some end mod in speed boost and transfusion slot rad with whatever you like, load up irradiate with procs including -res as it fires reliably there’s no real build strategy required with kin and rad will be doing fine with the damage buffs. salt to taste and enjoy

rather than farming would you like a bunch of inf for your main? feels a shame to come back and be sat in AE rather than re-living the good times. DM me your global if this would help you get playing i would also say that IOs are nice to have but they arent critical when teaming. once you hit 50 you’ll quickly earn enough inf through playing to get kitted out, IOs are around 5 times cheaper than what they were on live

lingering radiation is back on the shelf, baby!

haha, love this one

as someone who is thinking of making a radiation alt, this is good news! lingering radiation is back, baby

is it a picture book?

I made a battle axe scrapper and just hit level 26

i would say the need for speed genre the game has become is a result of two things: 1. people are simply better at understanding the game and its mechanics. once you’ve experienced the 1-50 journey multiple times you know what activities are most fruitful 2. the IO system broke the game and wasn’t right for CoH. all the minor tweaks for ‘balance’ are irrelevant in the face of IOs offering players a barrel of cheap high fructose corn syrup without IOs, archetypes become relevant again: defenders are needed for their buffs and debuffs, controllers are needed for their mez to reduce the chaos, tanks are needed for their sturdy nature IOs have created a game where every AT is the same added to this is the ability to juice up anytime on powerful inspirations by typing /ah (which i do with much frequency) as a result, the only priority is to deal damage. enemies pose no threat and the only variable is my ability to mash the keyboard until the enemy is defeated

such a ridiculous change to the game. i use 348 custom coded macros and have 7 keyboards, 2 foot switches, a drum on my back which i use as left click and a harmonica in my mouth which i blow into for right clicks and this just does NOT work for my use case do the devs even think about players like me with very normal setups? i’ll be deleting all the add-ons i’ve developed on my bespoke janky code repository. they have been downloaded tens of times. i’m done with this community.

a welcomed change - much easier to understand. nice that i can stack a reasonable amount of -res on my kin/sonic again after trying it out as a note to the devs, i’m not a fan of these overly complicated mechanisms like the version of sonic currently on live. combos and similar mechanics take away from the CoH experience by making the playstyle overly complicated

perhaps just swap super speed for it, or if you still want super speed, combat jumping can be sacrificial

nah, i get the reverse! i need to update my mids i'm highly tempted to make a rad/ice defender.. i've had one on test for years but never got round to it going to try this specific build out on test then consider making it soon as my 20 year anniversary alt and put some serious time into it. the proc for +2 mag hold in EM pulse has the potential to work very well given it has an insanely big 60ft radius. nearly perma hasten meaning pretty much perma accelerate motablism, should be good in both teams and solo blizzard having nearly -60% To Hit is an overlooked hugely powerful debuff for when things go south. blizzard + EM pulse has a lot of potential during big battles thanks for the inspiration mate Defender (Radiation Emission - Ice Blast).mbd
