I have a few /Storm guys. Fire/Storm Controller/Corrupter Storm/Electric Defender And more. For me Steam mist is a 6 slot power. You can get a decent amount of resistance for you and your team. Slotting Freezing Rain for Damage is not good. All those little 1's you see are a lie 🙂 The game rounds up and they are really doing more like .01 damage. Slot to debuff defiance, I'll also sometimes put in an Achilles proc, and/or some slow depending how you want to go, and a strong amount of recharge. This is your core power - making you and your team hit more often and hitting harder. Myself for the ones that have Hurricane, Corrupter/Defender/MM but not the Controller. I skip the KB to KD, I dont like it - using Hurricane is situational and takes practice. Some good things to do are: Stay back and do ranged damage/defuffs creating a safe zone for you and team mates. Run around the perimeter of a group tightening them up for nukes while making them unable to hit the barn wall from inside. Push groups into corners or keep them all flattened against the wall in smaller spaces while they cant do anything. Also slot for some serious end redux till you have a Cardiac Alpha. Overwhelming Force is a good one for Tornado, I like putting in an Immob Proc, and/or Achilles. Remember Tornado is also a Debuff and control power. It does stun and defiance debuff as well as damage. The KB to KD and/or Immob proc from Razzle Dazzle helps keep it on a target rather then moving all over the place, Lightning storm is a good one to use a high recharge, high damage, with decent end rudux set. Back on Live Lightning storm was the single most expensive ability in the game, with all the new sets and changes I dont know if it still it, it still costs a lot and you want to cast it as soon as its up. With a little speed boost help you can have 3 of them up full time.

I have a fire/storm Controller and Corrupter. Snow Storm is low priority for me, but useful at times. The longer the fight the more useful and the more end draining. Having a cardiac alpha helps. I'd say a Fire/Storm corrupter has more Burst and AOE - I do like and use Fire breath, the uber is Freezing rain, Rain of Fire, Aim, Inferno. Electric is better with the single targets, not that fire is poor, and has better power costs if I remember right. The difference between the two on a well functioning team is negligible because what your bringing to the team that is most significant are the debuffs in storm - go with what is more fun for you.

Looking at builds I have: In terms of theme, Elec/Elec Stalker or Dominator. Anything Electric with Storm aka Storm Electric Defender. Robotics/FF Master Mind DP/Dev Blaster - tech all the way

Had another freeze today. Occasionally I freeze on character load as well, with a Radeon Driver Stall popup. I'm thinking the latest version of COH does play will with the latest amd 6900xt driver.

In Path of Exile you can save your base layout to a file and share it with other people. I'd love to see something like that here.

Along with other windows, like powers, etc.

We have not forgotten. We simply choose to not be a bitter, empty, husk, ever seeking vengeance. Kinda sounds like Banished Pantheon doent it?

Unless someone 'in the know' from NC Soft speaks we really wont have a clue what all the reasoning is/was for shuttering the game. COH was always my fallback game. Play WOW a bit, get board go back to COH, play StarCraft a bit, go back to COH, etc. GW2 was the last cash I spent on NCSoft, I had already pre-ordered when I found out. I played it a bit but wouldn't buy anything for cash. Now that I have had my game back I am willing to spend money on NCSoft again, so long as they allow COH to exist.

We hates the War Walls - they are fugly. I once was at a Meet and Greet with the original Devs in SF and unloaded about that I thought of the way walls - it was explained the way the system was originally build they couldn't (or perhaps wouldn't) do anything about them. I'd be happy to have one of those blue forcefields at the edge of the zone with some scenery behind it. Computers/GPU's now a days should be able to handle it.

Ok so thats it. I had been going by https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Enhancement_Sets which does not list it as unique. Well then If I can only have 1 then I guess Static Field is the best spot.

Thank you for checking -- the Dominator in question is 35ish and I tried other sandman pieces as well. I'll go double check I dont have another somewhere though just to be careful.

Havoc Punch also says it should accept sleep sets.

Description says it accepts Sleep sets- I am not able to put a call of the sandman chance to self heal in it.

Would a dxdiag help?

On my Fire/Storm controller I use Hotfeet for either area denial or good damage as needed. Flashfire/fire cage/thunder clap stuns the group and holds them in place while tornado and lightning storm help with the cooking. Keep in mind hotfeet accepts slow enhancements -- it wont stop a mob from running up and hitting you but it will take them a min to get to you then they turn around and run away because their feet hurt. Any kind of slow from /cold should get mobs to their min speed. Many groups are 1/2 to 3/4 cooked before the stuns from flashfire/thunderclap run out though. Containment is only 75% instead of 100% unless that got fixed at some point. On live I had a fire/fire blaster (a true debt magnet) with hotfeet and it helped a lot with keeping mobs away from melee range.

Good mornings, I am curious how other persons have slotted Jolting Chain and Gremlins. Assuming 6 slots each. For context, currently lvl 35 Elec/Elec Dominator in my case. Thank you! -Z

I was able to complete on my Corsair Voyager a1600.Laptop. New install ultra default settings. gpu driver 21.40.56.02

The freezes do seem to happen on COT or Arachnos missions - though more often COT. The crashing seems to have become more frequent after updating to the GPU driver 22.10.3. My laptop is on an older driver version so I am installing coh there to see what happens.

And again today - same character 'Nikoli Tesla' same mission "Liberate the Library of Souls" and in the same room.

Got another freeze tonight. Grabbed a screen shot of my task manager with an interesting result. To think about it: My 5950x has 16 cores, 32 threads. That means each core is 3.125%. 14.7 is then 4.7 cores maxed out. Not sure, what, if anything, this might mean with the COH code. Any logging I can do to hopefully catch this in the act? Oh and I was on my Electric/Electric Dominator and the sound of combat, my Gremlins vs the COT continued for a while.

Thank you! Should I place any hope in COH having an OGL upgrade? 🙂

Woke up early and decided to work on my Merc/Electric Master Mind. Atlas Park is stuck at: Task Manager: That's an awful lot of ram for COH. Some sort of memory leak on zone load?

The Graphics reset seems to have solved another long standing annoyance I have had. All of my characters were at a slightly different scale for the UI, despite the numbers being set the same. And everytime I switched characters I would have to fix the location/size of the ui windows. Specifically the buttons I have set up for powers.

On another thought given the age of the client, except perhaps/maybe for the physics, I expect the code is a single thread and everything is running on a single core, Or perhaps it has multiple threads, I've seen it cross 6% cpu and 1/32 = 3.1%

I have two monitors. Pushing ready in the launcher almost instantly gets me to the login screen. Also doesnt seem to get COH over 0.1% cpu usage either. After entering my pw and clicking login. On character selection I go as high as 1.8% cpu but mostly .3% to .6%. Character load got me up to 6.1%.
