I think there are some sound mods for demons. E.g.

The slotting in fire sword circle and burn is relatively interchangeable so the knockdown may make more sense in the fire sword AOE. The psi and toxic resist are definitely a luxury and you can free up a few slots by removing the Impervium Armor 6% psi resists as well as replacing the unbreakable guards. I personally hate having deep holes in my defense/resists as a tanker so my builds usually try to fill those first. Season to flavor!

The original build I posted should have had fly but maybe I messed it up. Here is another version that fills some of the gaps you mentioned. Two things to note though that this doesn't have taunt or phoenix rising. If you want some more health at the cost of psi/toxic resist you could change out the Unbreakable Guards for more titanium coatings Fire Aura - Fire Meleev2.mxd

Fire Aura - Fire Melee.mxd Here is a fire/fire/fire from @Infinitum - it caps melee defense and all resists except cold/toxic/psi. The thing is fire has no defense debuff resistance so defense can get eaten away pretty quick

Ah gotcha, yeah I was hoping to avoid a global change to any assets/costumes and redirect to a completely different model

I have it in combat jumping The joys of getting to build and play how we want! My main was an invul tanker and I love feeling indestructible so I usually go hard into survivability first and damage second on tankers. If I had a scrapper, which shield would actually work well on being a defense set, the damage would likely be top notch

Thanks for sharing @tidge! Regen vs. pure health is an interesting debate since regen and health both = more health/second. I'd need to see if the increased regen was worth giving up the health increase from having a +health IO in True Grit. I honestly never know where to put the ATOs but putting the +resist proc in an AOE might make more sense

Is there a way to locally modify which model a power calls? For example, could I create a folder structure (similar to replacing sound files) that would tell the game to pull the model/asset for a police officer instead of a mercenary when I use the Master Mind summon power?

Would love to add my recently released mod to this list - available via the COH Mod Tool Battle Axe SFX - Titan Overhaul This mod replaces the Battle Axe 'hit' sound effects with custom mixed SFX from the Titan Weapons and War Mace power line to give a more powerful and "crunchier" feel to Battle Axe. The "woosh" sound effects used for swinging your weapons have been changed by mixing various wooshes and reducing the pitch

Kept tweaking and gave up some psi/toxic and fire/cold resist for 15% more recharge, 7% more s/L resit and a few procs.

I've been tinkering around on a shield/battle axe build and was hoping to get any feedback. I was trying to balance out the resists once I soft-capped positional defenses while also maximizing damage and procs.

I ran a moonfire TF after finishing this mod and I could barely hear my attacks. If anyone has a chance to try out this mod and experiences the same low volume let me know. I didn't touch the db level of the actual Titan Weapon "hit" effects, but they may benefit from the "attack" SFX that titan weapons uses (basically their version of the swoosh). I could probably spend a little more time trying to mix the attack SFX together

Wanted to share a mod I just uploaded. I've been playing a shield/battle axe tanker and wanted to feel, and sound, a bit more powerful while wielding an axe. I've ported over Titan Weapon sounds and it does the trick. Would love anyone's feedback if they have a chance to use the mod!

I haven't made a dominator since live. Every time I think about one I usually end up going controller because I prefer buffs/debuffs and support as opposed to pure dps and control

Agreed. This was one of my first MMs and I stopped around lvl 32 because I had nothing to do during fights

Whether it's horrible endurance issues, thematic nightmares, or power sets that have 0 synergy, what do you consider the worst combos of primary and secondary power sets?

Had the same issue, apparently maxed out incarnates provide the proper KB protection. You can add a blessing of the zephy IO to a travel power to help in the interim

Bumping this thread as I seem to be having trouble finding Ill/Cold builds for something that seems to be talked about a lot as far as AV/GM killers. Any other builds to consider besides for the one @Extor Prime shared? I'm actually more interested in general teaming / incarnate content as opposed to soloing AVs

I don't know if this VFX mod impacts PB and WS but it might. You can easily install via the coh mod manager

Realized I forgot to use Gauntleted Fist, so you could replace one of the Touch of Death sets with it

Looking to see if there are any additional optimization opportunities for this Dark Armor / Battle Axe build. Has softcapped defense to melee and relatively good resists across the board.

How is this build working for you?

One thing to note about fire armor on a scrapper is that it will cause enemies to flee as opposed to a brute which will taunt them

Is this mainly for the large and frequent self heal? As well as the increased regen value of more health
