very good reasoning Redlynne, thank you for the detailed response. really appreciate all the assistance you provide, I am constantly learning new things reading through your posts on the various forum sections

curious why you have teleport bound twice in the all in one ws.txt file right "powexecname Shadow Step$$powexecname Black Dwarf Step" shift+right "powexecname Shadow Slip" down "powexecname Shadow Recall" shift+left "powexecname Nebulous Form" lshift+lbutton "powexecname Shadow Step$$powexecname Black Dwarf Step" are you using some combination with the arrow keys?

thank you for the bind, much better here's a Mids, http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1520&c=727&a=1454&f=HEX&dc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

couple of questions -- could you share your bind on distortion field? that's one of the few downsides I have had so far playing a bots/time MM. usually running around 0/+5 and it is very difficult to get the mouse targeting to go where I want in the mass confusion. I looked through several bind guides and the best I have come up with so far is: /bind g "$target!$$powexec_name Distortion Field" this doesn't fire off the distortion field but at least places the targeting circle in close proximity to the target. so I hit g and then mouse click to activate. -- for my MMs, I usually take maneuvers and weave but that seems to be a bit overkill here once I get leveled up and have scorpion and power boost. I know power boost isn't always on but when I have maneuvers, weave, scorpion and farsight active under power boost, I am at 80% S/L and around 50% + for everything else. looks like I could probably drop weave and free up 3 powers, maybe add to the leadership options or travel powers. good idea? or better to have the extra to still be close / over soft cap S/L without power boost or allow for a def debuff or two?

why gift of the ancients in both weave and maneuvers? with 1 LotG in there as well, you should be able to get as much def with just 3 or at most 4 slotted LotG and have 2 - 4 slots to use elsewhere. while +run speed is nice, not seeing a huge benefit from the set bonuses unless the +max endurance and +recovery makes a bigger difference than I give it credit for

confirmed I am using this manifest and not being given these options. on Win10, not MAC never mind, total user error. blaming lack of coffee. for some reason, I was expecting to be "asked" which version to use. seeing the options at the top left of the login screen, duh 😏

currently lvl 35 katana, will be slotted into Golden Dragonfly, so one of the longer recharging attacks. using attuned because they are placeholders until level 50. at lvl 35, the dam/rec IO has a damage value of 23% and would lose 3% of that according the the enhancement management screen and that spread would increase, of course, as I level up.

as you start hitting diminishing returns for set IOs, is it better to slot a damage proc instead of one of the damage pieces of the set? I am slotting 5 of the obliteration set. would dropping say the damage / recharge piece and using the smashing damage proc be better overall damage?

thanks again Carroto, that appeared to be the issue. logged out for a while, entering via Cap Au Diable, and progress bar actually showed some progress 😃

thank you, that could be it as this is on a lower level character that is still frequently in Mercy. will try from a different zone and see if that does it

this may be why I am having issues with the badge. at a base portal = outside the base but within "X" feet of the portal or inside the base? if inside the base do you need to be within "X" feet of the exit portal? I will frequently enter the base, hit the crafting station or one of the storage bins and then log out from there. wondering if I have to be closer to the portal for it to register

guess the good news is that they still post to that thread, but so much for my morning COH fix 😥

and looks like this just popped up in the maintenance section 1 minute ago @here All shards will be restarted at 1230 UTC (1 hour from now, 0830 Eastern US time) for OS updates. Estimated downtime is 2 hours. so apparently not the usual 15 minute restart of tuesday, thursday

appears the last entry in the maintenance notices under announcements is 8/2. not seeing anything related to today's down time which is earlier than usual. did they move those notices and I am just blind searching for their new home?

not sure if it makes a difference being hero or villain side as I seem to have issues with the base day job on the villain side incrementing whether I enter via the usual portal or the poof to base. but definitely doesn't appear to increase on villain side using poof method

very helpful guide Redlynne, definitely has me thinking of giving WS a try. quick question on the binds, as those always give me fits. in an early post on that topic, you posted the following In order to "launch" the system of bind files, all I have to do is be in Human form and copy/paste the following into the chat window: /bindloadfile C:/Program Files/coh/binds/PBHuman.txt do you need to enter that command every time you log into that character? or does the system remember the most recent bind file you loaded for that character?

overall, enjoying ninjitsu except for kuji-in rin. it's bad enough the status protection is a clicky instead of a toggle but the animation going off every 1:30 or so, usually at the worst time in the middle of combat, is beyond annoying. is there any way to turn off the animation, like toggling on the "no redraw" option for attack powers? the only option I saw with the tailor is to minimize the FX but that doesn't stop the animation. appears that moving while the animation is playing will cut it short but that still disrupts your attack powers. any help would be greatly appreciated

thank you, would have sworn I tried that but think I went up and not far enough to the left.

is there a way to move more characters in your character list to different pages? would like to move some of my early alts that I don't play as much to page 2 or 3 and move others up to page 1. can move them around on a given page but haven't found a way to move to a different page, other than possibly playing around in the data tables themselves. think I read somewhere that you could change a sequence number in a config file but that runs the risk of really messing things up.

I have a shield scrapper and, therefore, have two powers I want to try to automatically refresh - hasten and active defense. I set up hasten to autofire and used the following binds on my movement keys to get active defense to fire when up /bind W "+forward$$powexec_name active defense" problem is that constantly creates a message on the screen that the power is recharging and more annoying creates a beep tone every few seconds as well. is there a way to stop the message and beep? or is there a better way to try to get the two powers to fire fairly automatically. for now, I will probably set active defense to fire on the S key as I am more often moving forward or side to side when running around town. just take a step backwards when I see it's ready to activate

am I just missing it? not seeing server status which is a very helpful tool

how do you all see the answer to this question changing if / when the changes to snipe go live. will it make much difference, other than you may not have to build in so much + to hit?

thank you wintervoid, would you use any sets in fortify? how many slots? any feedback from anyone on overgrowth slotting?

not finding many builds on the forums for these power sets and looking for some help with slotting fortify pack and overgrowth. for fortify - is it worth enhancing the def bonus or just use it to hold a couple of procs, like LotG recharge or shield wall + resist all. possibly a recharge or two. not seeing any great set bonuses that would justify 5 or 6 slotting this but I may be missing something for overgrowth - pretty much the same question as the only set it can take is to hit buffs and the only set that might be worthwhile is gaussian's for the defense bonuses at 6 slots. might be more interesting if chance for buildup applied to pets but not a huge benefit to me, with few attacks. if not going with gaussian's, thinking 2, maybe 3, slots for recharge to have it up as often as possible any suggestions would be appreciated,
