Imagine if CoH Were to Go Commercial Again
Without_Pause replied to cohRock's topic in General Discussion
If its a commercial product, there shouldn't be a cap. Not having a cap means they have the money to do additional things. -
Didn't they use Excel instead of an actual DB?

Compiling CoH Community Slotting Choices
Without_Pause replied to Excidium's topic in General Discussion
To add, something similar to what Path of Exile uses as a web app where you can look at your character and link to it for others to view would be understandably awesome. -
Compiling CoH Community Slotting Choices
Without_Pause replied to Excidium's topic in General Discussion
It says what was used, but not why. A Def based build is going to look for different bonuses versus a Res one. If the most popular armor is of one type, then odds are that will show up in the most likely to be slotted even though it doesn't help the other. What happens if someone sees there's all these purples in a build when you can't actually replicate said build or it leaves the build overall lacking? There is a listing of what powersets get used. There was one stickied for what powers where picked. It would be nice if both were posted once a year. -
There's a few things which could be added if I were HC, but until the market code is fixed, it isn't worth much. I added another example of the pricing bug today to the linked thread. I know it is a volunteer group, but 2.5+ years is quite some time to allow this to linger.

Market Bug: Different Items are sharing sales history.

Needless to say, I was disappointed my 12 mill bid did not instantly go through. -
Looking For Help Fleshing Out My Kin Melee/Rad Armor
Without_Pause replied to HeroesUnlimited's topic in Scrapper
For farming, it depends on what you are trying to farm. If a S/L farm, then the build will essentially be the same as you are trying to cap S/L for Res and Def. If Fire farms, you need to cap Fire Res and Def as much as possible which means grabbing as many Winter IOs as needed. It would honestly require a second build. Epics can go in a number of directions. Blaze for Melt Armor and Fireball. Body for the auto powers which can be left with a single slot if you want more slots elsewhere. FA is there as well. Darkness isn't used that much as Soul is more useful. Weapons is "eh." Leviathan is similar. Soul is Moonbean and Shadow Meld. MU is Zapp and Bal Lightning. Faming wants more AoE. Non-faming can be a number of options, but Soul and Mu seem to be the most popular. -

Whoa! What happened to Dual Blades Assassin Strike by level 38?
Without_Pause replied to Omega9's topic in Stalker
Attacks which have 2 recharges in them are taking away from end or damage slotting. On a basic level, ST attacks I 6-slot with 1 acc, 3 damage, 1 end, 1 recharge. AoEs, are 2 acc, 3 damage, and an end. DE and MC should be three slotted for Res. Did you even add in the fighting pool? -
I would ask the GM in question.

How do we feel about Ground Zero in Rad Armor?
Without_Pause replied to aethereal's topic in Scrapper
It is underwhelming if you are looking at it from a straight damage point of view, but it also helps your teammates. -
Looking For Help Fleshing Out My Kin Melee/Rad Armor
Without_Pause replied to HeroesUnlimited's topic in Scrapper
I think I have seen some acc in it since people were also getting some heal in it. Again, my best experience with it is level 29, and I haven't peaked too much behind the data. My lean is getting some heal in it. -
I wonder how much that is from people coming back from the weekend.

Looking For Help Fleshing Out My Kin Melee/Rad Armor

I tend to skip the T1 in a melee set for Scrappers. I would grab Repulsing Torrent and put the Sudden Acceleration: KB to KD IO in there. When in doubt, more AoE. I don't get the need for two travel powers unless there is some concept need for it. It is as easy as ever to find ways to supplement movement now days. Taking SS is rare for me when Athletic Run can be grabbed from the P2W vendor. No, it isn't the same, but I find it is enough for horizontal movement unless I have to stealth something. Gamma Boost and Stamina need a PS: +%End. Stamina could use a PS: End. Health is Numina's Convalescence and Miracle procs as a start. A third slot for another proc can be used. Radiation Therapy is Theft of Essence: +End as a start and makes Rad very end friendly. I practically don't look at my end bar on my Rad/ice Tank and she's level 29. Flavor damage procs with acc and heal as needed as it still needs to hit and the heal is really low without slotting since you need a lot of targets to get a genuine benefit from it. Beta Decay is Achilles Heel: -Res. Particle Shielding is 5-slot Panacea for me. The proc doesn't trigger enough since it has a longer recharge, so you'll skip out on the sweet 6 slot bonus unless you want to burn the extra slot for it. The proc is far better off in Health. Ground Zero is a damage set and or procs. Resist toggles are basically 4 to 5-slotted Unbreakable Guard. You can toss in the Aegis: 5% Psi Resist to help cover that area. Meltdown is good for the one shot Resist IOs. See more here. Outside of all of that, you want to cover the basics of capping Resists and Def as well as you can. Rad is end friendly and has built in +recharge, so aim for making it sturdy. I just noticed I don't see Tough and Weave pictured and those you want as well. -
Boggle is more BU versus Aim. While interesting, it still remains flawed. 1. The animation time is terrible. 2. It is still ST. On teams and ones with any sort of decent speed to them this is terribly lacking. I think a minimal fix would be to shorten the animation time and make the actual Bobble flagging AoE. The actual Confuse can remain ST. I'll add this info to my thread about fixing Insight.

Looking For Help Fleshing Out My Kin Melee/Rad Armor
Without_Pause replied to HeroesUnlimited's topic in Scrapper
Super Speed and Force of Will can go with a default slot unless there is something specific you are looking for in terms of IO set bonus. Hasten can be two slotted with 2 level 50 +5 recharges. CJ and Maneuvers can be one slotted with a LotG Def/+Recharge, but that also depends on things. Some of your attacks are woefully underslotted, ie Burst. Health and Stamina could use more slots, but again, it depends. To be honest, if this is what your friend recommended in terms of slots, they should know what to put into said slots, but the number of slots is a mess. There's roughly 7 powers in your primary and secondary I would do the number of slotting differently. I see no epic, so is this even a level 50 build? -
Is there a Brute Tier List similar to Croax's Stalker Tier List?
Without_Pause replied to Linea's topic in Brute
To the OP, no. In a generic way, I just factor in how those sets get converted from a Stalker to a Brute and bump up the resist sets in how useful they can be since Brutes have a much bigger HP pool to deal with. Things like does a melee set use a pet instead of a direct attack as well is factored in since those are good for a Stalker since they don't break Hide, but bad for a Brute since they aren't impacted by Fury. -

Might depend on the mob. DB is lethal damage so it can be resisted quite often. Not sure on /dark. It is a resist based set which is lesser valued on a lower HP AT. It would help to post your build. -
Main: Without Pause Claws/wp brute. Name born out of Rebel without a Clause Younger sibling: Sneakers StJ/ea Stalker. Name came from wanting to do an anit-cape character. Template: Back on live a known player on Freedom and some other servers I believe had something very similar to this. Needless to say I have copied and modified this look more than I could imagine. Variation. Greyed Out StJ/shield Stalker. This version is from the idea of making a character look like they are on a B&W TV. Variation #2: Brian Blaze Fire/ea Sent. Variation #3: Ghost Striker EM/ea Scrapper. This and the previous one should likely have a different color for the bottom of the boot. Sometimes it matches with the gloves, sometimes not. Variation #4. Outsmart Fort. First time I used four slots before I was happy with the look. One I considered a good look for a lower level thug, but the build is 50 and nearly complete so, yeah. Yes, he needs a cape. I didn't know the default Widow options could be bypassed, so it took some slots to get where I wanted it. Variation #5: Power Sign: Time/dp Def. Inspired by all of the protests and such which where going on in the US at the time. Without Remorse Dark/ea Stalker. I found out the "trick" for making a tattoo look on live so had to do it here. Female tattoo variation. Without Hesitation Claws/ea Scrapper. Alt slots are used for changing the color of her top and tattoos. It just depends on what I feel like. Template #2. Blame watching Arcane. I haven't figured everything out, but I loved the looks in the show and having something with the blue Hextech via a weapon/power feels like it needs to be added.

I didn't scan all of the Psi builds, but this is worth noting since I didn't see Boggle in the builds I did look at. In short, something which is tagged as Boggled, and not just Confused, doubles the chances of Insight kicking in.
-
Just an FYI, Boggle will double the chances for Insight to be fired off on a target which was tagged as Boggled regardless if they are confused or not, see AVs.

Update after a bit of playtesting: My Incarnate picks were quite different than those listed, but it was early in my going through them, and I know more now. I went Barrier for Destiny, and I think Ageless Radial would be better for the debuff resistance. One can get more def, but it is the debuff which screws WP. One of those I kind of knew things, but Bill and I will agree Eviscerate is highly skippable. If you want it for the bonuses you can get from it, then fine, but I had a comfortable amount of AoE going just with Spin and Shockwave. I hadn't known about the differences in recharge for Spin between Scrappers(9.2 seconds) and Brutes(14 seconds) until recently, but at least I know all the more to skip Eviscerate on my Scrapper.
-
Update: Boggle doubles the chances of Insight. It is still ST and has a long animation, so it is still an awkward mechanism even if now it is better using this bit of knowledge. The one benefit here is harder targets can get Boggled without being Confused, see AVs. Not much to add in terms of "Why a Brute?" Soling a Rad/ice tank and loving it so far. I see no reason for it to not work really well on a Brute with the DoTs. StJ's smaller AoEs makes me a sad panda using it on a tank. Probably keep it for a Stalker and Scrapper.

Insight needs to be reworked
Without_Pause replied to Without_Pause's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Relevant. So while this makes Insight better, it is still overly convoluted. -
The facts are Willpower literally offers nothing in terms of adding damage and StJ is best on a Stalker. so I'm not sure how someone says it would give out greater damage on other ATs. SR at least gives you +recharge for added damage. SR I think would be a better set as a Stalker as well. My lean is SR benefits more from hitting 50, so I see no reason to switch. As mentioned, if you want the most damage, SR isn't it, but it is better than WP and SR is better on a Stalker anyway. The problem with doing the most damage is those armors tend to be squishier and more so on a Stalker.
