Fair point. I often say on my Dom that it's like fighting statues. Also, it will likely be an arena fight... but now knowing that incarnate powers are not allowed in PvP zones, it might make for a more even playing field. 👍

Great response! A lot to think about! I had been thinking of Ice and electric but wasn't sure what to put them on, and I love the idea of a kin/electric fender. He will definitely underestimate that - especially if I use Yomo's suggestion of a second build, and only let him see a buff bot in normal play. 😈 I have an electric/electric corruptor and an earth/kin troller, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with the powers either. I'll definitely look into the necro/dark MM too... though I usually don't like playing with dead things. LOL

Great ideas here. I hadn't even thought of tac arrow!

What about fear? How good is it in PVP? I know there's little defense against it.

LOL! That's evil! I LOVE IT!

No. He doesn't read the forums, but he knows I'm brainstorming with all of you. In either case, he will be teaming with my toon all the way up to 50, so he will be aware of her potential (we don't believe in PL aside from XP boosters). He's actually relishing the challenge so he wants me to bring everything I can muster. His build is pretty airtight, too... so I'm not sure there's much he could do. He also has a lot more PVP experience than I do, though not on that brute.

I'm loving all these suggestions gang! I was really thinking melee, and you're steering me back to ranged (which has always been my preference). He does have Hurl, but at least I'll avoid the KO Blow. My biggest concern with anything ranged is the squishy factor.

A little background... he and I have an RP scenario where we are creating a pair of toons who have (in Terminator style) travelled back in time to end a bloodline created by his bad-ash brute and my blaster. The idea is that eventually we are going to square off. I'm not so worried about my blaster... but his brute is a vet level 50 SS/WP that does massive amounts of damage, max HP of 2400+, and out-tanks many tanks (which is one reason we don't generally team much). This brute solos the Nemesis TV farm at +4/×8 with ease. I'm thinking maybe end draining to detoggle (oh he has conserve power and unleash potential too)... so maybe just focusing on WP's weaknesses like toxic, psi, and negative energy? A tank maybe? But will that do enough damage? All suggestions welcome... well, you know, except asking me if I can bend over far enough to kiss my cheeks goodbye. (Also, it'll be hoofing it to 50 alongside his blaster, so has to be blastie-friendly).

Very cool! and Great to know! I still wish it was a bit more reliable... but maybe I won't spec out of it just yet. Being slottable won't help with duration, but would help with amplitude of buffs.

Oh! That's cool! I was able to get it to pop every time with "Burst of Speed" - so far the only thing I've tried that triggers it. Dragon's tail doesn't. It would actually be pretty cool if ''Phychic Focus'' (Psi's answer to ''Aim'') triggered it, but it doesn't. It'll definitely mean an adjustment in my play style... but hopefully they will make it a click like any other power of this type, and make it slottable. Also, the icon is wrong since it appears as primarily +DMG, but is in fact primarily a +To Hit. Thanks for the info!

"Reach for the Limit" as available at lvl 4 from the Blaster Secondary "Martial Combat" is broken and adds no bonuses. It appears to be described as a ''Build Up"-like power (+To Hit, +DMG (All)), but once taken it shows as always on, and cannot be slotted or enhanced. Digging a little further, the "Detailed Info" on the Enhancement Management screen shows no stats, and no bonuses appear in any section of the Combat Attributes window. IMHO, a click +DMG is a pretty essential power on any blaster - especially one with a snipe and boom - and one of the reasons I selected this set. I'm hoping this is somehow just an oversight, but if not I will simply spec out of it and make the most of the rest of the set. See comments for photos. Love and gratitude to you all. ❤️

Thanks, Troo.

Is magnitude equal across power sets? How do you find the magnitude of a power?

My buddy just got back to CoH, and he used to roll using an XBox 360 controller. Now it doesn't seem to be working on the game (it works otherwise). Any advise?

My friend just downloaded COH for the first time since 2012. He is running 32-bit because there something happened during installation and he can't load 64-bit. He was accustomed to rolling with game controller back in the day, but can't seem to get it to work now. Will he have to reinstall so he can run 64-bit, or should it work on 32-bit? He's not very tech savvy and walking him through the install was a trial I didn't even get reward merits for. 😉
