For giggles back in the day I 4 slotted brawl with damage procs. It actually worked quite well as a filler and every once in a while they would all proc on the same hit and would brawl something for 300 damage.

I would love to be melee on a team like this. Nothing moving, you either untouchable or the mobs turned to tissue or both while you and the tank can go nuts. On topic though I think like others have pointed out, most of the negativity has come from those outside of Homecoming. Thinking some other party may have a vested interest in getting rid of people who are making the game free to others and not making a profit from it.

I would concur. I have made the mistake of going with my end game build before getting all the IOs and incarnate levels to cover the endurance issues and it was rough.

Post your buld and others will be far more likely to offer advice vs asking someone to come up with something for you.

Thinking people may trick out ??/Rad and give it a go. A little extra recharge build in along with -regen in Radiation Therapy would boost the DPS numbers over some other sets.

Think this is where the most resent version is for I25. I have issues as well if a data chunk is not included so I end up having to manually do everything from the long post.

Warning explicit lyrics and if you don't like metal you won't like any of these except maybe the last one. For fire scrappers For any punching set Just general scrapper music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K9iHyZqgI8 This from about 2:33 on. For that one guy that thinks scrappers are an I win button that require no skill and ends up face planting constantly.

I think all the procs are now on a per min basis. So even slotting in stamina that is every 40 seconds an extra 10 endurance that is assuming the same rate of 1.5 per min. Consider that outside of global buffs going from 2 IOs to 3 in stamina only grants you about 0.07 per second, that translates into 2.8 over that 40 second time frame. Even going from unslotted stamina to one lvl 50 IO adds 7.2 over that same 40 seconds. If you are fighting the whole time the proc is still better long term it is just more bursty.

Before ED as a tank you could soft cap your defense without outside buffs and without taking any pool powers. That is broken. If we still had no ED now with inventions you could get a brute with high recharge, 6 slot damage and footstomp everything in the area for around 400 damage every 5-6 seconds. That is also broken. Yes I can do the same amount of damage now but that requires 2 extra powers which means more endurance use which means you have to plan your build instead of going into stupid easy mode and using 1 power and killing everything and not really having to worry about endurance use. The game is easy enough with incarnate stuff for basically free, there is no need to make it even easier.

It will proc when you use the power. In the case of consume however, it normally fills your end bar anyway so would be useless there most of the time.

I see the heal as just extra fun on a fairly high damage attack. I have slotted for damage and no heals. Now I wish the animation time was lower but I still like it.

Can also consider rad/bio. It won't be as great farming but will have better single target damage for dealing with bosses while your other aoe powers melt the smaller stuff.

For the epic pool it all depends on what you plan on doing. Bio is good all around so I plan on running TFs instead of farming. I plan on going with soul because gloom hits pretty hard and the to hit debuff meshes well in those cases you get defense debuffs on you. If you plan on mainly farming then Mu for the 2 more aoe attacks.

CoT are the big ones. Most groups have some mobs that have either high defense or to hit debuffs. Pretty much carry around a couple yellows all the time. Also build up and aim have plus to hit as well so those are good to use against those targets to take down in a hurry as well.

1 or 2 is generally fine for most things. Even with high accuracy when you encounter stuff with high defense and -to hit debuffs having more accuracy will not help that much because of how the mechanics of the game work. You can hit more often by dipping into the leadership pool for tactics or the kismit set has a +6 to hit or you may be stuck having to carry around yellows for when you are fighting stuff with dark attacks or with high defense. This article explains how stuff works better than I could https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Attack_Mechanics

So are you looking for the one attack that hits the hardest or the one primary/secondary with the highest single target damage?

May want to consider a brute. They eventually get aoe imob in their patron pools. Electric fences locks down the runners quite well and your taunt aura keeps most from running in the first place.

When was rage changed to still have the defensive debuff if it crashed with double rage?

Damage mainly due to the fact that it does nothing to you for healing. It only heals others in your party.

So I could 6 slot footstomp with damage and just worry about global recharge bonuses from other sets and get to hit from rage and just stomp everything to death with one power? Yea that seems balanced.

Exactly. The only way you could sell to yourself would be to be the only seller. You would be better off just selling for the going price and buying the level you want with the proceeds.

An easier fix from a programming standpoint would be to have the 2nd rage overwrite the 1st rage. So instead of double stacking you would keep on going until it eventually crashed.

Or in the very early days before the drones hearding up the zone into the entrance so lowbies would zone in and be dead before they finished loading.

I would still probably do the whole thing. I am more so looking for the easiest difficulty rather than fastest route.

Ty. Ill try black scorpion. Did scirocco and that one was bad. Was on an end heavy build and all the mu kept me chewing on blues all the time and that one was a pain.
