Here's my Katana/Bio build I posted a while back. Divine Avalanche is the reason for high L/M defense numbers. DA really helped me once I got that. Can't speak for Spine or Titan. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,2158.0.html Defense is not soft capped(w/o Divine Avalanche) but from what I see Bio has more evenly layered survival. It can also absorb damage, heal/siphon, or regen hp for the damage you don't defend or resist while making the enemies weaker. A few days ago I was able to do solo missions with Efficient at Team Size 3 around level 28-30 with lvl 25 IOs but don't remember enough detail to know if more would have been easily possible. I just know I wasn't in any real danger. Regen is a % so the more max hp you have the better your regen will be.

After asking about Assault and Divine Avalanche in the Discord build channel I decided to go with Divine Avalanche. I also decided to take one slot off Focused Accuracy for only a 1% drop in abilities' accuracy(EndUse increased by 0.08/s) and moved it to Physical Perfection and gave it Miracle: +Recovery(EndRec increased by 0.25/s). Sliders in updated build: Divine Avalanche - 2/3 stacks Evolving Armor, DNA Siphon, Parasitic Aura - 5/10 targets Fury - 50/100

Hello everyone. New to CoH so I don't know much about what amounts of certain stats are too much or too little. I would like to solo as many things as possible. Going to make the best of this, come what may. Running this Brute on blueside so no Mu Mastery. Specific areas of concern I have: Considering the build's other survival stats such as regen, resist, etc, is the 10.5% dmg buff from Assault enough to warrant dropping Divine Avalanche or would the stacking DEF buff be better? I have chosen Energy Mastery as I wasn't too impressed with available Pyre set buffs. Unless of course, as I mentioned earlier, EM gives too much of something and can easily be replaced with whatever buffs Pyre sets would give. Or any other Ancillary for that matter. Changing this would probably require dropping slots from Soaring Dragon, Maneuvers, and Golden Dragonfly. Just how much ToHit/ACC do I need to hit things as often as possible? From my understanding chance of hitting is limited to 95% max. Should I be looking for a certain number with each attack's accuracy? If I get a debuff on ToHit/ACC, how much would typically happen to a player and would it be worth accounting for that to make sure you are always near the max chance? If I have too much currently I could possibly switch sets for more rech, dmg, etc. I'm aware certain Adaptation effects are not shown in Pine's currently.

Thanks for the info. I"ll have to take a look next time I'm on and when I get to that point later.

I used ctrl + print screen just a few hours ago and it was fine. Normal for most MMO I have ever seen. Depending on how you were logged out or exited.

Exploration badge markers for Newsman/girl, Apex and Faultless Mystic are not appearing for me and so can't get the badges. I got all the other exploration badges in Faultline and the locations are marked in the Wiki with pics. Took ss of Newsman/girl location. Does this occasionally happen and then later they appear? I finished a few zones already so this is the first I've seen. Or were they moved and not noted in the Wiki or Vidiotmap? Never played CoH/V before so I may be out of the loop if so. Thanks
