    Softcapped positional vs typed defenses, positional seems to get hit more often

    Does HeroStats even work still?  I vaguely remembering trying to get it to work, but was unsuccessful.

     

    I used it a few months ago to track influence per hour when comparing multiple methods.  Unless something has changed, it works.  I don’t remember if I had to use a specific plugin, but if I did, I found the information within these forums.  On the surface, seemed to be really good.

    Most Survivable?

    Energy blast sucks.  The claim that blasters aren’t survivable is wrong.  It’s an investment but you can make a very survivable blaster... or any toon.

     

    Energy blast on a sent is even worse.  Almost unplayable.

     

    The topic is most survivable but you’re looking for KB and not effective in many other ways.

     

    Energy blast, Forcefield defender or corruptor with personal force field and phase shift.  Maybe rune of protection and hibernate as well (if defenders get hibernate).

     

    You should fight against a team size of 8 if you want to get the most enjoyment out of KBing enemies.

    Softcapped positional vs typed defenses, positional seems to get hit more often

    in Stalker

    I haven't yet quantified this (I may run herostats to prove this out) but if I take a shield defense stalker and a bio armor stalker, the shield defense stalker gets hit more often out of hide.  The shield defense toon is softcapped to all positions (ranged, melee and AOE) and the bio armor is softcapped to all types except toxic and psionic.

     

    I just stood them each in their own mob of lvl 53 council.  The shield defense toon was actually level shifted and still getting hit more often.

     

    Are there more attacks that are typed only and have no positional attributes assigned to them?  Or is this some other issue?  Or am I just a crazy person?

     

    I get the same feeling from my shield defense brutes, they get hit hard and often even though they're softcapped to all positions.

     

    Anyway, thanks,

    Dave

    Build Help Spine/Fire.

    in Brute

    The build is one I found attached to a video Biggs put out.  I don't recall if I modified it at all.  I think I did, very slightly.

     

    Very expensive spinse/fire brute, high recharge, softcapped to fire.  Worthwhile upgrade from my cheap version:

    I just spent almost 2 hours trying to find Nightstar on the Maria Jenkins mission. The one with the floating islands and the heavy fog. I didn’t realise you could enter the big sphere at the back of the map until clearing the whole map and exploring everywhere multiple times! 😞 

     

    It gets worse, I am a dark/dark/soul controller and the shadow enemies are resistant to negative. Ahh!!!
     

    Help me feel better heroes, what’s the dumbest thing you’ve done on CoH? (Homecoming or live!)

    I’ve never found Nightstar on that map.  Only Black Swan.  I’ll have to go back in and see if I can find him.

    In bad taste...

    Comedy is subjective and should not be put under a lens.  This is the problem with cancel culture.  Can people joke about aids?  Cancer?  Diabetes?  People die from those and are still dying from those ailments.

     

    it might be “too soon” but it all remains subjective.

    Direct link to update pack: https://discordapp.com/channels/593336669004890113/608902085798264854/662765756911583264

     

    Keep in mind that it is a temporary way of publishing stuff. I'll see with Metalios for the next batch - i'm sure there is a better way than a discord post with attachments.

     

     

    You're correct, we have actually more than one ! ... 3 ? 4 ? I lost track of who is working on what. Latest "nerdy" recruit: @Cipher . He's trying to make a web-based planner with a way to share builds and tap data directly from the game data files.
    I half count myself in as well for having a viewer-only app with the only purpose of tracking which enhancement i've bought/crafted when making a new build. Not sure yet if i will make it public.

    The direct link to the update pack didn't work for me.  Tries to take me somewhere in discord and says that I find myself in a strange place... and that I don't have access to any channels or there are none on the server.

     

    Certainly interested in the update.

     

    Thanks

    Are you using a T4 agility alpha? 

     

    And yeah, it's going to be expensive. I make min/max builds for the most part  where I don't think about money, unless budgetary concerns are specified.

    T3.  Maybe the T4 will make the difference but in Mids I removed the Agility toggle to check to see how my numbers match and I was still about a percentage point off for both.  I had the same issue on another toon some time ago, Mids was off by the slightest bit.

     

    I'm loving it though, hardly gets hit and when he does, the resistances are really good and then of course the fallback heal.

     

    I dropped lifegiving spores and took spore cloud for the -150% regen.  Useful for AVs and such.

    Thanks for the solid base, I was able to modify it to have perma hasten and permadom and softcapped s/l defense.  Took me a while, was going crazy for a bit but I got it.

     

    I have an ice/psi that I recreated as well, this build is tasty.  Expensive but tasty.
