Giving this a bump because I could use some help with this build too. And I've been stalking this thread. 🤭

Bumping this up, hoping to see some advice come in. I'm trying to level a fire/psi dom and am also looking for help.

Thanks so much for the time you put into this. Not only was this a master class in refining this blaster build, but it also gave me an insight into what I *should* be using Mids for. My little Beam Rifle/Temp blaster will be much more fun to play after a fine tuning.

Adding my thanks to yours. The fact we can play is in itself a wonder, but that the game keeps on developing and being refined is amazing. Kudos to the entire Homecoming team!

Zed, I think I know my mistake. I tried importing the file rather than just opening it. Thank you for your time, it's working perfectly now.

Sure, this is what was saved from the game: karma.txt

I am trying to import my build from the game into Mids. Used the "/buildsave" command, gave the file a .txt extension and it saved to my CoH folder. It can be opened in Notepad and read, but I can't to import to Mids. Am I using the wrong extension or is there a step I've misunderstood? Any help is appreciated.

Yes, definitely have found the love for my scrapper. Used the advice here, spent time getting the influence to build up some decent enhancements and she's a lean, mean fighting machine now. Thank you all for the advice and tips!

Thanks for the advice. Turned out to be a hectic weekend so I didn't get to work on this build, but I'm taking your advice on board and will be playing with the build in Mids this week.

Ok, that makes a lot of sense! When I played on Live I simply slotted whatever looked good and went out to kill and be killed. Being older and (not so much) wiser now I'm trying to understand the finer points of enhancements. I appreciate all the time you've taken to explain this to me. Thank you again!

This gives me a lot to think about, taking the stalker/scrapper differences into account. If I have more than one LotG Global Recharge slotted, does double the bonus? I was told yes, now I'm thinking the person I listened to might have been a bit confused. I'll definitely go take a look at the other sets and see what the bonuses are compared with what I've been using. I've tended to stick with one enhancement set in a power, that's maybe something else I need to start looking at. Is there a reason you don't toggle Tough on (just curious as to the reasoning)? Also, do you have that slotted with the proc powers? God I feel like a total noob, can't thank everyone enough for the advice they've given.

Oh, I'm right with you there! I made my account and logged in as soon as I heard about the rebirth (ironically, just before Easter, 2019). Almost cried when I defeated my first prisoner in Outbreak, by the time I saw Miss Liberty there was no holding back the tears. This "dudette" was home! I've gone back to other games I've played, thinking I'd like to see this or that again, but it was never the same feeling as CoX. More of a "okay, seen it, that's enough, goodbye". This is different. I used to even log into that Paragon Chat program where you could visit Atlas Park, couldn't do anything but sit and talk to other players who happened to be there. The fact that we have it back still amazes me. And during these hard times, it's a life saver. I'm pretty shy in the real world so this provides me enough social contact in what is still an extremely safe on-line environment, plus I get to release my frustrations by beating up a Carnie or two. But you all know what I'm talking about, this is just preaching to the choir. It's so good to be home.

Hmm....interesting, never really thought about CT. Definitely going to look into it. I've been mostly soloing with her; tbh she's been sitting around waiting for an overhaul. She was my first toon since Rebirth and was always fun to play. I'm going to take your input on board, look hard at my defenses and see what I can come up with.

This is gonna sound sappy, I know, but I just wanted again to say a huge thank you to the Homecoming team for making it possible to play our game again. The work the team does to update and build onto the game, at no charge to the players, is deeply appreciated. Here in RL we've been locked down since the second week in November and I honestly believe that without being able to escape to Paragon City I'd be totally insane by now.

Thanks for replying. I've had the extra slots in health and stamina since early levels and you're right, I need to switch that. I tend to look at the two main powersets and forget to adjust those as I level up. I'm struggling with resistance here, not really sure how to increase it. Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

Can anyone give me advice on a good SJ/SR build? My scrapper is level 50 and I took some bad advice about a build and now she seems to be lacking endurance as well as some hp. She does decent damage but it feels she should be stronger. I don't plan to keep Teleport Target and am not sold on Confront or Elude, so basically I'm option to any options. I'm lousy with Mids so any help or advice you can give is appreciated.

Thank you, this looks good. I haven't played her in quite a while, wasn't sure how the changes to TA actually worked.

I'm trying to resurrect my Archery/Tactical Arrow blaster with the I27 release. Can anyone help me with build suggestions?

Ok, my bad. After a fight I'm kicking so many around I had assumed they were the standard arrow. Still looks like a toilet plunger, but nvm.

Don't know if it's possible to change this, but if some good hearted graphic wizard out there could make an arrow that actually looked like an arrow when shot instead of a toilet plunger it would be greatly appreciated. My archery blasters arrows look elegant in the quiver, but then when shot and laying on the ground look like something the plumber left behind. Example below:

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to try it, might be asking for more advice. 😀

I've been wanting to start an archery toon for a while and have also been thinking of starting a sentinel. Does anyone know if archery is feasible for a sent? Also, what secondary would you recommend? Any help is appreciated.

This is bizarre but when I set it to off, I get the pop up "do you want to allow this change" and I click yes, then the setting automatically goes back to block. I'm about to throw the entire thing out the window.

I know this is a problem with my pc, not the program, but I'm hoping someone can help. When I click the setup to install, I get a message that Windows Defender has blocked the program as unsafe (Norton says it's safe). I get a message "this app has been blocked for your protection" because of an unknown source. We've tried everything we could find online to get around this but still can't install it. If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Just donated, thank you all so much for making it possible to play again.
