Energy cause it’s fun
Knockback used to get a bad look for a bit, and ya, it can be a drop troublesome if your chasing as melee (and haven't had the sense to get and setup "/bind ` powexec_location target combat teleport").
But it's decent control second to second, super fun, and in good hands can set aoes up, while throwing baddies around.
Plus, force feedback recharge bonus can get silly good when you've got that running on a handful of powers.

it's a real pain to make a poll with that many things 🙂
First, fire is just raw and heat beam insta snipe inferno boom boom madness.
These days, I've been keen on water blast, electric blast, and have been itching to do another beam rifle.
Despite no snipe, water is decent.
Electric has the pbaoe, and it executes faster than rain of fire or the other ticking ones.
I don't think I'm doing Tesla cage wrong, it's just not good (terrible alone aside the hold), and the splash shock setup proc doesn't really do damage worth noting and drags you into micro to get the mechanic to go at all.
I remember beam rifle hitting hard single target like, but it's been a bit.
Secondary, I'm enjoying energy blast for range boost and punchy but quick enough melee attacks.

Well, there's news.
The everlasting server crown attack arc progresses, where I, Figs, am server main protagonist with my character Julius.
I arrived in Atlas park, and demanded someone organize a DFB right away. Everyone jumped to attention to satisfy me.
My skills were on show, and I got a special badge for defeating a bad zombie lady on a bridge. The team was astonished, as it's really hard to do.
Then I got sulky, and ran away to the rogue isles.

I have severe PTSD and Anxiety due to 8 years get the the &(*% beat out of me by my &%*& of an ex while she also secluded me from all my friends and family till they no longer acknowledge me that drove me to attempt suicide 3 times before I escaped with nothing and had to start over from -10 instead of 0. RPs, LARPs, Writing, they all allow me to put on a mask and be someone else who ISNT broken and allows me to step out of my mind and put pieces back together so I can heal from my life. I chose this server because ~10 years ago I came up with a super hero that never went anywhere as he had no weaknesses and it quickly petered out in my mind. Now I can not only bring that story back, as I have in his personal topic here, I can fix him. Before he was never a doctor, never had a lot of things I have added here. I have yet to make actual friends here but I want to. I want to get a social aspect of my life back and not live alone and secluded anymore too afraid to even talk to a person or open up as I fear a knife in my ribs again, side not that is not a metaphor she really did that, I have healed some in the last 9 years since I escaped but now that my 38th birthday looms ever closer on the 5th of this month I am pushing hard to return to a functional state. At least mentally as my physical body is beyond repair due to her and my life after. I am looking at a wheel chair or worse eventually no matter what I do so I want to heal my mind so I can at least be that one old (*&%er with insane amounts of wisdom that he will gladly share or the guy who always has a story to tell your kids when you visit. Well that would require friends but I digress.
That rambled sorry. TL;DR I use RP etc to escape my broken mind and body and feel normal for little bits. Also old fond memories of CoH and just wanting to belong somewhere.That sounds very frightening, I'm glad you got away, and that the game offers a drop of solace.
may there be clear skies.

Best blast? Dual pistols / energy manipulation!

- there is an ICON shop in atlas park, north of the central square. you can customize your costume slots there. if you do it before you are level 10, it costs 0 influence
- you can also design your costume at miss liberty, the trainer right by where you begin
- hollows is a really cool zone, with a bad boss 'frost fire' there. if you do the quests in the hollows (you can go about level 7, to the right of atlas park) and unlock 'defeat frostfire', everyone will join your group and think you are wonderous, because its fun and gives a LOT of xp
- you can click the chat window, at its bottom right, to see a menu. that menu lets you adjust things like difficulty of enemies, and the number of enemies you'll face regardless of groups size. running +1 or +2 can result in very good xp if your strong, and higher all the more.
- there is a truck in atlas park square, it shows on your map, and it goes to 'pocket D'. its sort of a meeting place, be sure to ask for 'Figs' for free drinks at the ski chalet.
- logging off there, you'll accrue time on your day job, and eventually unlock it as a teleport location. its handy to have later on.
- also in pocket D is 'null the gull' - a seagull who is on top of a truck on the red side of the dance club area.
- this seagull can change you back and forth to villian, hero, or the mixed alignment classes. this will let you access different maps.
- even if you want to stay hero, switch to villian, then talk to him again and switch back. you'll unlock a special power in 1 week of real time. in the hero case its a buff to your power that lasts a little while. very useful at low levels, and it lasts forever / has unlimited uses.

CROWN ATTACK ARC
!! Beginning now on Everlasting !!
Just to bring everyone up to speed, I want you to know I've created my first ever everlasting born character, who is a scrapper 🍦/🪨 (ice stone)! He's called 'Julius Reinburg', and is at once tough, strong, and crafty.
My next will be a dual pistols (crossbowman) / energy manipulation blaster, so that you can prepare. I'm super talented at PVP too, so be careful!
Right now, on everlasting, we're at the start of the crown attack arc, where I, Figs, am main protagonist for server.
Every time I see those everlasting player numbers go up, I know it's because of my efforts, kind actions, and amazing style.
I'll be moving tomorrow, but soon you'll have me to enjoy!
best,
-- Figs

where does all the toxin in the water drain away to?

Only the range at which you can cast an ability can get boosted. Nothing enhances aoe radii other than playing a Tanker.
curses! that ruins my latest foolproof master plan. its still good tho... can be perma too (base recharge is 60s, lasts 30s)... curses...
-
does boost range work on pbaoe attacks or pseudopet radius (or placement range)? or is it specifically strength to RANGED (ranged single, ranged aoe, ranged snipe)?
it just says:
+59.6% Range Strength (self only) for 30s
Set Mode (BoostRange) (self only) for 30s
(that'd make 'hail of bullets' ~40ft PBAOE... that cant be possible!?)

I am happy it's back but I am also old school so if that offends people then so be it. I enjoyed playing the game in the past and had 3 accounts to play with. Not gonna apologize for my post.
I quite like that you can make fancy, creative bases without having to grind lots, or have a massive SG you need to convince people to stay in (to accrue points), or any of that complexity which detracted from the doing of the creation - and existed only to create a sunken cost for the player / extend subs.
It's a breath of fresh air that mechanisms like that don't exist on homecoming.
there's a donation system, if you want to pay to support the servers - and you could do that every month if you want it to be like a subscription.

^ suppose, but blaster can be controller-ey lite, in a satisfying way you just can't match on dominator damage wise.
I kinda see the mixed melee / ranged (with lighter control) on a lot of blasters I don't just make fire or elec that way.
I'd agree that Energy manip has a lot of great stuff beyond a bunch of melee with disorient, but if you're active and engaged, a lot of the time you're in or near melee.
Plus, slotting diversity is good when you've melee mix in.
I'd not ignore 5 powers in a secondary, just wanting boost range, build up, power boost, and energize.
Rather lean into it;
Stuns if they're in your face, a GTFO me power thrust, and then things like those mentioned.
Boost range with dual pistols cones, and choices of ammo, is a lot of spread on debuffs and minor control.
Whatever you pick, energy manip isn't single focus, and that does NOT make it bad.

I even publish my .costume files, I've won so many AP competitions.
You must be good at RP, if people are playing understudy.
Is it a drop creepy? 🤔 ya. In that it's obsessional.
But they're just a person playing a game, and that might include to them gaming you - so try not to give anything negative fuel. Because it grows in your head if you do. That'd be the worst this person could be doing, and I hope it isn't the case, and that it doesn't get all up in your thoughts space.

Did I just get an aneurism? Did OP get one? Someone must have

Seismic (stalagmites empowered), or archery 🏹 (stunning shot), or psi (scramble minds chain attack), or dual pistols (suppressive fire) for another disorient?
If you're doing energy 2ndary, you probably don't mind melee.
Seismic is really good but wont work properly if you want to fly.
I'd pick dual pistols, as the ammo swapping thing lets you really tune into what's missing in a group, and generally feels dynamic and fun, kupo...
also, you can now use crossbows(!), so circle of thorns, demon hunter, or legacy chain estranged orphan cosplay style points goes up.

gross... ^ don't body shame, yo.

i'd agree with that last.
if you slot ATO, things like hold last MUCH longer. a skill like 'blind' in illusion control (with its secondary effect of a sleep splash to nearby foes) benefits very well.
You're never going to do damage like a blaster, and a lot of blaster combos can have secondary effects with soft control in addition to TWO hold powers (one from primary/secondary).
what you can do is controls which are wildly longer duration, which means MAG stacking.
couple this with something like symphony pet on dom, and that's a lot of mag 6+3 flying about for long durations.
AVs have a weird purple triangle buff thing that lets them have -50 mag to things like hold.
I have only ever been able to hold AVs on dom after getting mag stacking ramping.
regular things? they stand still.
the duration is important because harder monsters also will have status resistance at a significant level, meaning a control duration is reduced - so a power (and incarnate powers) which are layering on duration to achieve MAG stacking to a point where stuff stops moving, is good, kupo.
good luck, and have fun!

stone armor has an immob component of its aura, in 'mud pots'. it both roots monsters, AND pisses them off to have the mag stacked on them even if it doesn't apply.
definately not a 'forced perception / range reduce and fight me' skill like a real taunt, but it helps.
honestly, confront should be AOE, or upgrade if you take the power pool taunt aswell. as is, its silly, and I have never heard of ANYONE who's taken confront for something other than high fashion cosplay.

it wouldn't make sense with some powersets tho, they'd be completely incompatible with the actual power effects.
if you're looking to boost secondary effect of firey assault powers like consume - there's the end mod sets that it'll take, as well as other procs.
its like how you can't put 'gaussian' +tohit sets into a raw damage ability, despite the target ability having an accuracy component - in this example case, it isn't a tohit boosting power.
one can see the types of enhancements that are supported by a power on 'city of data': https://cod.uberguy.net/html/archetype.html?at=dominator
one cannot use enh intended for primary sets in the secondary.
are you just wanting to put the procs from the ATO set into secondary powers?
what would you suggest to address complete target-of-slotting power incompatibility?

POLL: Blaster - best of AT
in Blaster
Posted · Edited by honoroit
Dunno why you'd not want combat TP on melee (including blap-tastmers) - and no, that's not build dictate.
I just mean, it's so good it's like cheating, there's literally no cast time, you're just there.
