Thinking of moving the end mod slots on Energy Drain to 5 slot CJ with Kismet and get the recharge bonus. My StJ/ea hardly needs ED, so I think less slotting and missing out on the bonus will be okay. I know the def numbers are good enough as is, but the 3.75% recharge will be nice.

MA is oddly enough best on a Brute or Tank since the T2 adds def. On a Stalker, it has no AoE until you get to epics. StJ is legit top tier for a Stalker.

What is a FF/kin? As mentioned, Dark has no way to help with end so it can be more of a burden to take on. What kid of slotting are you using? Do you have any Incarnates yet? What kind of content are you going against which makes them feel squishy? There's not much reason for a Dark Defender to not be on the rather sturdy side.

While I'm glad it looks like they fixed a lot of what hurt SWG, I kind of wished KotOR Online was in a rogue state. I just couldn't do a sub back when I played it, but it was the first game where I felt like I could really get into since CoH.

The OP has openly stated they aren't willing to invest in characters enough to make the claims that they keep doing so. About the only use in replying to their threads is to boost one's own rep.

They didn't want it when it was profitable.

Since it is a pet, it doesn't break Hide for a Stalker. A Blaster should welcome any sort of damage mitigation. More so if they solo. It also helps that it only really needs its default slot so you can use slots elsewhere. I can possibly see an issue with Brutes and building Fury, but I don't really have any issue building Fury on any Brute I play. If you team a lot and have a number of Controllers and Doms, then sure, it will be less useful, but it is incredibly useful outside of that.

And there's nothing there that can't fairly easily be replicated here.

I'm pretty the current state of them are such regardless of the rogue servers coming out or not. The successors problem isn't really CoH. its very much everything else which is out. My biggest pull isn't another super hero game. It's simply other games.

In all honesty, we have multiple sets for smashing and lethal damage. There's no real reason why we can't sets of exotic damage types but with swords or without. Hell, you could do Sword melee and then let the user pick the damage type similar to DP. Psionic needs a rework. Insight just happens to be the starting point.

I did this for EA and Rad. In terms of video, I have been thinking about similar ideas as of late. There is so much work to be done cleaning up animations for the game. Switching from swords to not using them makes zero sense in a practical sense.

Ice is really the next best option based on what you have done. I would deem Fire to be the best overall even if its best mitigation is things being dead.

My guess is a number of people simply left. I know someone who simply did that. Hell, I essentially did a 9 month break from HC at one point after my initial comeback. Page 3's numbers are showing people coming back and that might be also due to the holiday season. It will be interesting to see how long that upswing stays. Note, the increase of people playing was vastly more directly impacted by Page 3's launch than it was for having streaming coming back.

I never played, so maybe if it played lit it, then it would be fine. I don't know. I hated the look of it though.

Clearly you haven't teamed with the OP.

My main sake is a WP brute. I got to 50 on level 25 common IOs. I had no real issue with alphas. Sure, there might have been some issues if I was facing +5/+6 and the mob type, but that's about it. To say a WP tank can't take alpha come level 30 is openly admitting the issue is the player.

To summarize: You couldn't make a build work for whatever reason. Someone else did. They were the one shamed for what they did. Something tells me the issue with your play is you. (looks at poster's history) Wait, nope. That can't possibly be it. Sorry I even mentioned it.

You'll be surprised to hear that there are people who have millions of followers on their Youtube channel and make enough coin to where that is their full-time job. Back when I played Path of Exile, I watched videos of it all the time. Someone who does a channel covering how to do builds in CoH would have a following.

In the list of annoying things I have found from people you need to rescue are the ones who can't keep pace with you when you have zero movement powers on, no movement bonuses from IOs, and are walking in a straight line on an even plane.

I just did this tonight as well. As soon as I saw the name, I was like, "Oh yeah, THAT guy." I have successfully completed this mission once. Once.

Case in point: Project Will does 1.16 * Ranged damage. Has a recharge of 5 seconds and has an end use of 7.54. Cast time is 2.244 with Arcanatime factored in. Arcane Bolt does 1.54 * Ranged damage. Has a recharge time of 7 seconds and an end cost of 9.62. Cast time is 1.98 with Arcanatime factored in. Recharge and end cost can be slotted for and thus reduced down. The difference in damage is going to only get worse. If Project Will is to be the quicker attack, then it should have a quicker animation time.

Depends. I think some of them are worth taking as noted above. I did look into trying some out and came away less than impressed with Project Will and Wall of Force due to their animation times. They are straight up worse than anything from Psi Blast. I was going to use them with a Psionic melee character but decided against it after playing around with them.

Switch CJ and SJ. You can also get the jump packs from P2W and buy a Flight power there for 1 mil. Steam Jump pack and Athletic Run are two of the instant things I get for a new character. I have one build with just SS for travel and another with none, so outside of unlocking some temps powers, it is easier to sub in stuff from the P2W vendor. Logging out in Grandville or the Shadow Shard also gets you you a rechargeable Fly power via the Dimensional Explorer badge.

If mobs are being defeated that quickly, a lot of things aren't needed.
