Mr. Vee

OK high end stuff has creeped up. 950 million (well 948 for the posted build, i switched rez for ss with a botz in case there was some fire attack with kb i wasn't aware of, plus ss is nice.) That's not counting the 62 boosters, or the 11 catalysts for ATOs which i had in my base, or prolly half the converters i used since I already had a bunch. Was forced into converting due to lack of a lot of the winter IOs for sale, but probably saved money that way since i bought the hold ones to convert. Ditto for brute ATOs not on sale (converted khelds). Bought quite a few sleep purples to convert just because prices on some of the damage ones were just silly. Not live silly, but silly enough it was worth doing another search and converting. I also went with recipe/crafting in several purple cases. Still though, multiple billions sounds suspect. counting 200 converters (it wasn't that many but meh) and rounding up we'll call mine 1.1 billion. I can't imagine too many builds being much more expensive than the one above without just trying to use the most expensive thing per slot.

/signed, but I've not gone there since i found out about the base code teleport macros. I had big plans to go to every zone and map out exit points so I'd know which to use in each particular case but then realized i don't care. It really is that bad. My base's pillar of ice and fire is getting heavy use and I'm loving it.

I'll be buying every enhancement for the build above. We shall see what it costs.

So because I'm deranged I'm going to actually make the above as a second build even though i almost never farm. Currently farming Heather to get tier 4 agility rather than the barrier I had on main build.

i said i had experience of it in burn. i've been playing my rad/bio a bit more lately and got a couple hits of it out of irradiated ground the other day, but it was just your run of the mill kb, it wasn't slinging them quite like burn did. None of the other powers I've used it in have patches so there's no reason to expect stacking.

Yeah my current build has no problem with 325 on 4/8/bosses and it's only at 19%. I figured softcap would make it possible afk though, which i can only do 4/8/no or 2/8/with. TBH i don't get how some of these dedicated farm builds are still having to use lucks past 40 or so.

OK i made a dedicated fire farm build. Should my influence printing with the market ever dry up I'll make this into a second build for my claws/fire. I used soul mastery just because i like the -to hit better than mu's secondary effect. Mu is slightly better dp/animation but you wanted pyre so i'm not helping specifically there anyway. Note you have to boost some LotGs to get to fire softcap with this one. Villain Plan by Mids' Villain Designer 2.22 http://www.cohplanner.com/ Click this DataLink to open the build!

the power selections themselves are fine (apart from no hasten) but it's not going to be much of a farmer without more global recharge for the aoes. i assume you're getting the rest of the way to the fire softcap with your alpha? shouldn't take too terribly long to raise money for some cheap sets to raise recharge (some more hp/regen wouldn't hurt either) that can be replaced with more expensive ones as you go. though once you get your global recharge up you'll find you don't need as many attacks as you have unless they're just being set mules. i'd link mine but it's both very expensive and not optimized for fire farming (or for anything really, i'd change a lot if i cared but it's easy mode as is and it mostly just marketeers rather than farm unless a friend needs a pl). Also idk how you're going to manage to spend several billion on anything, much less a tanker.

Like all loot boxes you're supposed to lean into the tedium by streaming yourself slowly opening them one flip at a time and rambling between each flip.

Purples give great enhancement values at any level. If someone told you they don't they were misinformed. And since they're naturally attuned you can +5 them to squeeze a bit more out of them. They won't give you the same numbers at 35 as they do at 50 but that's true of anything in a system based on percentages.

I skip swipe, slash and eviscerate, but there are arguments to be made for every power. If slash were one of the first two tiers I'd take it instead of strike so I could put an achilles proc there, but it's not so I don't have the room. Eviscerate I stopped taking when the kb to kd IO made shockwave so good, but plenty of people use and love it.

I've read elsewhere that the ones with the larger percentage listed first in the description work. Can't remember if it was on here or help channel but I've not tested myself. sounded ridiculous but possibly just ridiculous enough to be true. I've been using degenerative core.

I went and read the bit in the proc thread about creepers as well. Sounds sweet with damage but I'm leaving out the FF proc - creepers seems to have a fast attack rate anyway. just wish i could get it to perma too but without recharge in the power I can't with what else I want to do. But here's the build I think I'm going with - should mention that I'm going to keep offensive and defensive amplifier on it so add 5% defense all and 7% resist all and some damage/to hit/recharge. When you're spending this much already why not throw an extra 40 million at it every 8 hours of play.

Yes, cribbed from The only problem is I often mindlessly double click attack buttons so my attacks will switch to a new target when my current dies. double clicking will of course auto then un-auto with this setup. have to remember to keep an eye on my auto powers to make sure they're set when their timers are close. makes chain wonky too at times but i still prefer it to having to watch and manually click.

Do we know if proc creepers is still a good option with the ppm changes? Under the old system they had a chance to proc with every hit but I don't think they do now. I tried out a force feedback + recharge in mine for a while but quickly removed it as it seemed to only have a chance to proc on initial summon. I've left annihilation -resist in there for the time being but I don't see the graphic indicator very often from it either.

You get used to the clickie status protection and it actually ends up being nice as it can double or triple stack depending on slotting and global recharge. Mine's double stacked with one boosted recharge IO. You'll want to keep it double stacked because of the defense debuff resistance in it just as much as the mez protection. If you only have one auto-power use it on active defense and click hasten manually. Or use the rolling auto tricks to keep both going. On mine my slot 1 power autos active defense, slot 2 hasten, slot 3 ageless. format for that is /bind 1 "$$powexec_slot 1$$powexecauto active defense" etc.

And despite all PK's best efforts I have no doubt i'll have the ones I had up sold for 7-8 million when i log in later.

Great guide - there's also the Wentworth's and Black Market teleporter charges that you get for logging out in those dayjob locations. Quite handy on TFs or Flashbacks when you can't use LFG, for Kings Row and Port Oakes especially.

allow me to refresh your memory https://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php?topic=12991.0 oh but on topic some more triumphers have recently resurfaced, former guardians of the infinite watch stalwarts using their original globals

If you have the slots the kb to kd IOs certainly make managing knockback easy. But there were plenty of energy blasters who were perfectly capable of not griefing with it before those ever existed. Many hovered over mobs to make the aoes knock down, many only used the aoes situationally. If you have room for the IOs I'd start with nova and worry least about the single target powers.

Y'know it's no fun to tease about ridiculous locked titan threads if you're gonna give a serious answer.
