@JJDrakken ?!! What you briefly described here is not cool. If you check back and see this, please do the rest of a favor and report the offenders. Hope to see you around, I've shared your builds with tons of new folks and they've always been appreciative.

Silver age is a bit tough. Silver Age.costume Putting chest piece es over metal upper & lower body has worked well for me. The chest piece, arms, boots and helmet than add the flavor. Alternate.costume Steam.costume Add the attached costume files to the costume folder and they should be available then in game. ..\City of Heroes\Costumes

I agree. The old version of Mercy was my preference as well.

yeah.. still likely goes back to kids with dice. Champions intellectual property (IP) from Hero Games. First published in 1981 vs D&D a variation of the 1971 game Chainmail serving as the initial rule system. Dungeons & Dragons was the first modern role-playing game and it established many of the conventions that have dominated the genre. Particularly notable are the use of dice as a game mechanic.

Here ya go. JJ's page sometimes loads funny. Using your browser search for 'Fire Blast', it's the third one.

wait, that's not what I wrote.. how much cold medicine... whew, that's wasn't what I wrote but the sentiment isn't far off. I was just curious what folks would stick with. I think it's good info for new players as well as those looking to try something else.

Chasing defense on a regen character is a bit of a trap. It works until lack of DDR kicks in, then it is wasted. Instead think of it as a resistance set. 1600% regeneration at 2400hp = ___ amount of resistance (resistance to all damage types) Then add some actual typed resistance. In this way it is effectively a way to exceed resistance caps. Just a different way of thinking.

Instant Healing currently puts my Regen characters in the 1600% area. This would obviously be overpowered as a toggle. Would I trade the big number over two minutes for a smaller number full time + the endurance drag.. Personally, I just don't need it full time. Instant Healing as a toggle + Dull Pain being able to perma just seems like a non starter. Too good for high end builds while lower levels suffer. Not disagreeing with your post @cohRock. Just adding to it that some folks can solo 4x8 on regen without level shifts. (non-incarnate) (really, if folks can 4x8 on non-melee, folks could do it here) I do have some concern about performance of regen at lower levels. At 30-32 my stalker has never really had any issues, maybe it just fits Stalkers or my playstyle.

Can I borrow this for a new t-shirt?

Regeneration may not be for everyone. If you don't like resist sets, you're likely not gonna like Regeneration either. Could it use a little love, sure. (who would turn that down) Does it need a big rework.. no. It does have about 25% -regen resistance. MoG is available pretty often with no usage penalty. I agree that -recharge resistance would be a good place to look. Porting it to Tankers: As-is might be overpowered. It might be a set that is overpowered until a sudden cascading failure results in face-planting, which would impact the rest of the team very quickly. That said, in a team setting there are many buffs a Regen could benefit from that don't help others who are already capped.

I totally want this now, the 10 second version! Now we only need a lawnchair emote so I don't have to innertube6 all the time. It would be awesome to watch folks miss-time getting to the portal. Maybe request using the new knock-back formula and randomize the variables. I'd make some popcorn. "Hey, look. It's Bob again. The RNG hates that guy.. [insert funny knockback sfx]"

@Rudra Ha! My edit sniped you. Regardless, I'm a little more relaxed with the soloing term. You're correct about being in the weeds, soling is also off-topic.. That's my bad.

Highlighted is the only part of what you said that I needed clarification on. If it took a week to finish a mission with a single player that would count as soloing, wouldn't it? That's pretty epic soloing in my mind (I don't have that kind of time or patience). I'd concede if a player didn't finish a mission maybe that's not soloing, I could see folks saying that is more like 'attempted soloing'. Seems like semantics to me. [edit] I saw this was already addressed. No need to rehash.

I'll recap a bit more later in the week on the ITFs. Really at some level, it's more about knowing when & where to do what. Sprinkle in AT/Power Set specific means of going about it. Time: Slow but getting less slow (trying to get a feel of what it should be) Clicks: It's not as many clicks as I expected but definitely would interrupt tuned attack chains every so often. (60s being pretty common) DDR: I would not argue with some SR defense debuff resist level equivalent for Regeneration's recharge debuff resistance.

yes oh, I read that without the comma.

Take the feed back you're receiving. You're not the first to think defense should be addressed and you're not gonna be the last. While I will not say your ideas are ludicrous, they may need a little more refinement. For my perspective, I've always thought recognition and reaction should be rewarded a bit more in the game. My preference leans toward anything that rewards situational awareness over just button mashing. Good luck.

We’ve likely all heard the quip “A lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on mine.”

without defeat there can be no win.

Is this such an issue it should require dev effort, or just a request to be added to the list? I've never really prioritized running to Null the Gull for group fly or such. I've only had Group Fly happen to an annoying level a handful of times over years and years. I appreciate Null being a special resource we can head to in order to do some specific things. For folks lobbying to have Null or those capabilities proliferated to zones and bases, maybe lobby instead to have those settings with an option to be account wide defaults. I mean just skip to what you really want.

A guess (haven't tried fm/rg): Fire could be one of the most challenging pairings to level up for Regen as it has no secondary mitigation effect other than "you 0n fir3 n0w skullz, buuuuurrrrn". My opinion Early brooting on a regen is likely a lot of Reconstruction and trying to get Dull Pain up at least half the time. That early experience does show players how to time things for most benefit. DP at 100% green bar could be a waste where between 60%-90% could get more benefit.

Yeah I was too lazy to put that much effort in. I just threw a build together and started smashing stuff. 4x8 ITF update: It feels like cheating. I am simply cycling Rune of Protection, Instant Healing, Demonic Aura, & MoG. Heavy hitters get Darkest Night. Every once in a while popping Dull Pain if I get to 1/2 health. (side note: Seismic Smash is so awesome) Regen with any decent def or resist numbers feels like a resistance set. Gotta keep an eye on the green bar and its definitely manageable. (note: the nictus + ambush = run when I forgot it was coming) -recharge is definitely Regens weakness and the Black Dwarfs apply it pretty quick. Just the Nictus spawns are okay, but throw heavy hitters on top and better be ready. A regen tanker as is would be pretty bad ass.

Yep. Though if you've already leveled up to where there is a choice. Copying over and making one power selection is wicked easy. (that's at least my thought)

Yes & yes. Do you upgrade attacks to a certain level of IO? Replace everything with level 50 sets? At or even before 50, before dialing in a build, Attuned Enhancements. What would you advice me to upgrade and swap and what do I leave alone on a new 50? At or even before 50, I am opportunistically crafting or low bidding on standard less expensive attuned sets that I know I can use in a cheap build. I'm also on the lookout for the standard Uniques. (Miracle, Numina, Performance Shifter, Steadfast, etc) Level 45 example with a Archery/Kinetics Corruptor. Ranged: Thunderstikes (we can use 4 or 5 full sets) Defense: Red Fortunes (we can use 4 full sets) (not so cheap due to convertor-ing to Luck of the Gamblers) Ranged AoE: Positrons (we can use 1 or 2 full sets) This can build a fairly strong character (see attached) while deciding what powers we're keeping and which are not gonna work out. Ding 50, first thing, use any Enhancement Boosters we may have acquired on basic IOs that we are gonna keep. Prioritizing Recharge then Accuracy. This gets us to where we can keep playing while fiddling with dialing in attack chains and acquiring final build components. Corruptor - Cheap Kinetics w Archery.mxd
