TheGentlemanGhostronaut

My powersets are Staff/Dark Armour, admittedly the build is very thrown together. I need to look for a proper build or move it to a Scrapper.

Doing a bit of high level content has left be a bit puzzled as to how Stalker works in 50+ stuff, it feels like everything gets minced so quickly that I'm sort of just a worse Scrapper and don't get to really take advantage of what makes Stalker unique. Am I missing something?

Do Katana and Super Reflexes work well together? If not, what goes well with Katana? My theme is a cyborg samurai!

Thank you all for the feedback!

I reeeeally want to play a Merc MM, and while I usually don't think about optimisation too much I've heard that Mercs suuuuuck, so if I do make a Merc MM how painful will it be, and also what secondary mitigates that?

Thematic reasons.

Is there a clear edge between them or is it just personal preference?

What makes Bane so much more inferior?

I'm aiming for a more (visually) thematic Huntsman build, but all the Huntsman builds I see tend to lean on Crab quite heavily. Is Huntsman seriously lacking without the extra legs?

I've heard people say that it's too slow for Tanker and Brute yet I've seen quite a few TW Tankers around, what's it like?

I get a little overwhelmed with a lot to keep track of but I still want to be useful. Is there a primary that is lazy/easy to use?

Thank you! 😄

What secondaries synergise well with Dark Blast and what sets should I really avoid?

Does one Archetype have an advantage for this particular combo?

Thank you for your replies. Brute it is then! 🙂

Is there a particular archetype that would suit Staff and Dark armour better? If so, what's your reasoning?

Before anything new is added I'd personally like to see everything that is currently in the game balanced, there are a lot of older powersets that don't hold up to newer ones, or have simply always been had.

Dammit, I was really hoping that Poison would be okay! Fits perfectly with a character idea I have. Is there ANY way to make it decent?

Once more I am filled with indecision! I can't decide between Elec/Elec and Rad/Rad for Sentinel! Can anyone 'sell' me on each of these to maybe help tip the balance?

How detrimental would you say this is? Would I absolutely choke for power constantly? Also, I've played both to 15 now (not exactly endgame, I know) and I've found something weird, despite similar slotting I do both less damage AND feel squishier as a Scrapper than I do as a Stalker. Is this something that would continue on through the game or does Scrapper bloom a bit later on?

Firstly I apologise if this has been covered before, I used the search function and found nothing. I'm wanting to make a Staff/Dark character, I have Scrapper experience but I've never played Stalker, I've found conflicting (and possibly outdated) info elsewhere. What's the difference in playstyle between scrapper/stalker?

I'm making a new red side Scrapper and I've decided to go with Staff. I've heard Willpower goes well with it and is rather set and forget, but Dark Armour would fit my theme well but I've heard it's incredibly END heavy and I have no idea how it is defensively. Is Staff particularly END heavy? Will it gel well with /Dark or should I stick to Willpower?

I tried out Bio Armour animations just now, it would be cool if the Minimal FX spread to all the powers but alas you still end up with big bio-chunks on a few of them. :( With Energy Aura being dodge-y does it suffer in similar ways to Super Reflexes? How is Electric Armour? It looks like it could fit conceptually but it also looks really endurance heavy.

Invulnerability always seems quite "I stand still and take it all!", though I'm open to be being convinced otherwise! How are Electric Armour and Regeneration? Do you think either of those would work with a Robot?

I apologise if this is in the wrong place, let me know if it is and I'll delete it. I've decided to re-imagine my original CoH character, from back in the faaaaaaar distant year of 2004, she was originally a crippled person in a power suit that everyone thought was a robot, she was named Violet Drone and she was a Martial Arts / Super Reflexes Scrapper, though admittedly I didn't really like SR, it felt... well... crap. Anyway, this iteration is Violet's AI robo-daughter, Blitz Bunny! I plan to use her as a Scrapper like her mother, but I'm torn on what powers to use! She's high octane, agile, 100% machine. I've tried Martial Arts and Staff Fighting, both are awesome visually, and I've tried Super Reflexes (it's still a bit pants, but I'm only lvl 6). All input is greatly received!
