Try reinstalling it cause Mids is up-to-date. The correct database version is 2023.5.522.

I have quite a few homage characters. And I agree it's something of a fine line between a ripoff and an homage. I like to think mine are "inspired by". 😂 In my head canon nearly all of them are characters that would be part of the copyrighted character's "family" and not a copy of that character themselves, with their backstories constructed to fit the world of CoH. Then I have some that are straight up parody. And I can't forget the 4 SGs that are dedicated to anthropomorphized animal homage characters. Honestly I don't mind homage characters unless they are really an obvious straight up copy, both in look and name. Knockoff of a knockoff of a knockoff??? That might be a new record. 🤔

Depending upon AT, Weave with level 50 defense IOs is only an extra 0.8925%-1.275% defense for 1 slot, 1.7395%-2.485% for 2 slots, and 2.0468%-2.924% for 3 slots. It's really not worth it. I admit I do have a few builds where I've put 2 LoTGs into Weave (one extra slot), but it's only on characters that gets a 4.25%-5% base. Most of the time you just don't have enough extra slots to give up for ~1% defense each.

All 3 honestly. And then the two +3% DEF IOs you can put in Tough. Hover is a substitute for CJ if you're a flyer. Plop a LoTG in each with an end redux in Tough, Weave, and Maneuvers and call it a day. None of them are worth slotting for +DEF beyond the LoTG. In theory you could have CJ, Hover, and Stealth, with a LoTG in each for about another 7% defense (depending upon AT), but it's really not worth giving up so many slots.

This is the correct answer.

Plant/Nature is a no-brainer.

Thanks man!

If you're on a PC you could use uBlock and tell it to not load media files over a certain size.

Another +1 for Super Reflexes. The effects are really minimal, especially if you recolor them to black/black. Shield is also another good one with minimal VFX.

Oh I'm not saying don't use them, absolutely do. I'm just saying from experience you have to watch your end bar because there will always be that one time you expect it to proc and it won't.

When Performance Shifter procs, yes. But it's not 100%.

It looks like you're potentially already at the recharge cap so I don't think you're going to even notice the loss of one LotG.

It's a good power. I always take it. Ditch Vengeance.

WAAAAAAY overthinking it. The set names are just to be able to distinguish them from similar sets of other ATs. Dominators get Assault sets, Blasters get Manipulation sets, etc. But it's just a name. Pick whichever powers in any given set you wish.

Click the link I provided above. The character copy function is via the website, not the client.

I already have one, and had it since live

Phantasm, Animate Stone, and Singularity are the only Controller/Dom pets that can use Sudden Acceleration. Don't really know why.

LOL, that's literally all it does, add some fire damage to all your attacks for a brief period of time.

It only does damage with Fiery Embrace, same as Hand Clap.

Storm Cell applies a small speed and tohit debuff even if you don't attack. Cat 5 doesn't have a fear component so critters won't try and run out of it, but they will aggro and move towards you because you're doing damage to them.

Always seems to be one of these jackasses that shows up. Like the ones that zoom in and start attacking a zone GM while people are still trying to form up a league. Some people never learned it's not all about them 24/7.

Clearly no one watched what I posted. I also have no interest in seeing Oppenheimer. BARBIE HERE I COME!!!
