Its naturally softcapped to Smash and Lethal, and has some pretty decent positional values which when using incarnates at end game will have it capped up, along with factoring in the -tohit debuff, you shouldn't have survivability issues. It has kd protection, and decent mez res/prot coverage. especially for end game. Assuming you'll take Assemble the team, this toon can stealth tp a whole team to an objective from Posi 1 on, due to Superspeed + Celerity Stealth IO in sprint, otherwise I built in Fly for vertical movement, and positioning in the event you want to be a floating artillery piece. That said this thing is designed to play to your strong suit in melee as you have several PBAOEs including Soul Drain and a Melee Cone. The main issue with a blaster soloing AV's is the fact that AV's like to run away, this has Penumbral Grasp and Midnight Grasp to imoblize your target in place as you work it over. The biggest issue with Darkness Manipulation is that Touch of the Beyond is your sustain and its not always on, that said you have enough recharge to keep it up, and since you like debuffing, it knocks down a staggering 10.5% to hit from your target before using clarion, when clarion is up that's 18.9%. I know you mentioned not to worry too much about the Incarnates, but I picked Cimerorans as you'll have an untouchable Empath buffing you with fortitude and tossing you heals as well when you do use it. This build will work well without the use of incarnates, especially the debuff nature of the -tohitdebuff paired with the IO built defense, will make you a relatively survivable blaster even before Incarnates. Incarnates for this toon would simply be icing on the cake so to speak. As far as justifying Radiation and Dark together, the scientific notion of Nuclear Winter is a climate cooling by product of using nuclear weapons as they are hypothesized to be able to send enough soot and debris into the atmosphere blocking out sunlight (thus creating more darkness) and cooling down the areas that are effected. That and if a nuclear device were to detonate, the likely hood of existing electrical grids remaining active in an effected area is miniscule, thus ensuring an uneasy darkness. The term Nuclear Winter was first suggested as Nuclear Twilight, but theorists believed winter would be a better suited name as the longevity of the blocked sunlight would be more akin to lasting several months than an evening.

Smoke Grenade is essentially like adding the value of the tohitdebuff right to you and your teammates' defense, so it can softcap you so to speak without actually being softcapped. The negative perception is useful for controlling which mobs get pulled when you have multiple packs close together (which is really useful at low levels like on Posi 2)

Your request is a little short. You need to specify what your goal is for the character as people can build them in quite a large variety of ways that excel for the purpose they are building for.

Invisibility. Reason we have Super speed, and IO's along with other powers that add to our stealth. This power has the ability to be invisible on its own.

Try the 802.1 series AE missions if you want hard.

usually 0, unless I wait on unlocking the patron pools til 50, then potentially 1 depending on the toon. Otherwise the only respecs I would use would be to react to changes to the game from devs.

Rad blast allows for a lot of options for -res procs. Dark blast has a heal, and thdb which since you'll have smoke that synergizes well. Energy has KB, but that can be fixed with KB to KD. I normally don't think KB is an issue but devices want mobs bunched on caltrops and bombs. Given those three primaries I'd go Dark personally. If you're going devices, build in teleport to get fold space, you won't regret it.

Realistically it would likely help the PvP community see where there's action and might help to balance the sides easier. Then again old school pvpers are use to using hide so they don't show up in searches and lay in wait for an ambush, so even if it's changed to allow cross alignment searches there is likely to still be people hidden. It's always best in a PvP zone to assume there's 3 people about to coordinate a spike on you so move.

Note, they come right back, but its a few seconds of downtime that leaves the MM vulnerable.

Hello I was playing an MM today while stealth clearing a final room, someone tried to ATT to get the rest of the team together. I have enable TP prompts on as always, and I get the prompt to choose, I reject the tp, but my pets still went for the ride leaving my no longer in supremacy and drastically lowering my dps. I've never heard of this before, but then again I normally don't play MM's, but this has me thinking that a MM's pets should do what the MM does, not abandon the MM while in combat as that could potentially be used to grief MM players. Thanks.

I guess you could change it to a punch that exponentially builds up damage based on how much of a "Mach Charge" that character has. So in a sense using superspeed would build up "Mach Charges" over a short time and using the revised Flurry, renamed Mach Punch would burn the Mach Charges when used. They would stack up to 5x, and each stack would add 33% damage on top of the base damage of Mach Punch. So at Mach 5, it hits like Knockout Blow, and at no stacks it hits a little weaker than Punch from fighting.

Moving hasten sounds like you're trying to jump into a lion's den knowing full well you won't make it out. Burnout is cool as was previously stated for double gangwars otherwise doesn't get too much usage. Whirlwind is arguably my favorite non travel power in the whole set. Every PvPer in the game used to have this power because it overrode attack animations allowing you to get your attacks off faster. That was patched, then the power largely went away until IO's. As someone said above it's a gem with a KB to KD proc and a FF: recharge proc. I just wish the end cost was a little lower. Flurry. Here you go if you want to modify a power choice, here's the one. It has a huge time commitment for an animation and lackluster damage, narrow cone.

Sorry apparently I opened a can of worms, although I tried to keep my points rooted to the Sorcery powerset with Spirit Ward.

When I stated that it lowers DPS, I was speaking from the perspective of a DPS oriented toon such as a Blaster, Scrapper thinking that having to retoggle it on a target if they break the leash would slow my DPS rotation and thus lower my DPS. That said in the world of AoE's that we find ourselves in I'd rather pop build up and aim decimate 2 group spawns and then repeat. So I don't see much desire for a DPS oriented toon to take Spirit Ward, maybe when I'm playing DPS I'm a bit selfish. That said, I understand how some people have thought being able to self buff would be overkill, which honestly I used to main Empathy from 2004-2010 and always thought it made no sense that I could give someone else a power-boosted fortitude or a clear mind but not myself, so I've been in the "self-buff" camp for over a decade. I understand game balance, so I can understand a reduced efficacy upon the caster, but having something that benefits them makes the power more worth that of a pick to me anyways. From a support perspective, most support sets have some great tools as is, that the pick doesn't seem as necessary to take, because I have better options, be they dispersion bubble, frostwork, forge, etc. My only interest in Spirit Ward as is, or planned would be potentially as a controller or mastermind to give to one of my own pets, and in a situation where it pretty much is between that and a dud, or if I have extra slots and a power and I really want a set bonus from some health IO's. Thanks.

The reason I thought spirit ward would be nice to be a pbaoe is as a DPS character I don't have time to lower my DPS and buff another character, as a support character I have better support skills to use, so spirit ward is super skippable IMHO as it is. Now if I got some benefit out of it as well then I could see it having more merit at least from my perspective.

in PVE I typically TAB target, however depending on the villain group I'm facing or the content I'm doing I'll edit a couple of my 8 targeting macros (that I use for PvP arena) to target aparticular mob, ie. quantum ****, or mito, or immunes sur, etc. In PvP I edit each of my targeting macros, so I can target whoever I need to for a coordinated spike with 1 click. That way I can be on target all the time especially when dealing with priority mobs.

I'm not really a MM player, it's been the one aspect of the game I wouldn't consider myself an expert. That said I am competent at playing an MM as I understand petcom, binding, and overall how to manage them even on multiple tasks. I guess they just aren't my cup of tea, but that said of the MM's I've played I do enjoy between my incarnate demons/elec affinity and then my robots/empathy as my 1 and 2 respectively. I do want to try a thugs/kin with burnout but I haven't gotten around to it as of yet.

If only spirit ward could be used on yourself sorcery would be absolutely amazing.

Tab targeting would still cycle through the targets nearby that the character trying to acquire target has perception of. A lot of people use click targeting, using the mouse to target individuals, especially in large matches or zone as it is faster than tabbing through and getting the wrong target. Because of that most pvpers don't tab target, it's usually click targeting or building macros for each potential target. This is important in coordinating spikes on comms so that multiple people engage the same target at the same time. Because of this, if your suggestion went through it would completely change the costume meta for PvP in that everyone would have invisible costumes on, and that's not a good thing, as someone with a normal costume is now at a disadvantage.

Why not open up mids and make your own. It's not hard and then you can build for a specific goal that you have.

If I'm leading the team and I do quite often especially for TFs, I feel as the team leader I'm responsible for the team's fun. I'm a min/maxer by nature and I find myself pretty critical of my teammates actions if I'm perceiving that they are impacting the team's fun. That said I understand that fun is subjective so I try to advertise with objective details (like speed, calling out named npcs required as the mission begins). I personally like to play by what I call the ABCO's (always be completing objectives) of CoH. I also drink, probably more than I should, but I'm a combat vet and a blacksmith. That said I try not to call out a fellow teammates actions unless it seriously jeopardizes the team, but I'm an asshole and will from time to time play a drinking game where I drink due to what I perceive as negative outcomes of my fellow teammates. The more I drink the more likely I am to start indiscriminately giving people the boot. Because of all that, I try to more often than not just join a team, knock out the objectives and roll with it, as then I don't feel responsible for everyone's fun.

PvP. Hard no to having a completely transparent player model.

I've added support for a similar idea as I have a lot of toons that I make to experiment with including defenders with provoke and such. I'd be cool with a taunt proc in a few attacks, but maybe even more of a want for me would be a taunt proc in a resistance IO, so I can slot it in Tough since I take that a lot.

Honestly I would probably rework Instant Healing to be a toggle similar to RttC from Willpower, but also have scaling resistance to heal Debuffs.

I don't keep a lot of liquidity, as I convert it to IOs typically. That said based on today's average prices, I'd have ballpark just north of 30 billion if I liquidated everything at least instant sell prices, so likely more for f I was patient enough to wait for sell orders to fill at a reasonable amount. That said I have a lot of alts, and often will host mini events in task forces that I start like "everyone gets a free purple if we finish this in x amount of time".
