Would it be possible for Dull Pain on a tank regen port to remove the HP cap for tanks whilst it is active? That would help beef them up a bit and boost the regen numbers too

We do this in our group on TB, usually before/after iTrials. But the method is to just right click and press G (i think?) and you can just spam super fast.

If i'm on one of my sentinels, probably still quite often XD

I notice that I am being missed as rez fodder

I guess if you are heading after challenging hardcore content, the sentinel isn't necessarily the best choice. When I played my sents it was mostly for fun, no SRS BSNS here, so I don't mind too much that the D3 isn't the best option out there. Just feels fun because of all the procs dark blast gets access to.

I have a dark*3 sent and its fun as hell, but you seriously need to engage brain to play it. I decided to build it like a buzzsaw and ignore survival beyond basic slotting of the resist shields and getting basic defense from the powers already there. I ended up with 20-22% def to all and that is it. what my build does have though is plenty of PBAoEs and ST attacks with procs out of the wazoo. I guess its kill or be killed, which isn't an intelligent way to play sents, but is is a way to play sents. You realllly have to lean on the Nuke -ToHit debuff and aim to kill everything that is a serious threat within that debuff window. Nuke+PBAoE from Dark (Engulfing darkness?) and Dark Oblit is enough for the little baddies and can mostly sustain through the bosses. The only time i really felt on the edge was a BP mission in one of hte lvl 50 arcs in PI. Albeit was running it at +2x8 i think, so probably a bit ambitious anyway.

Panacea is best slotted in Health along with Miracle and Numina procs. I haven't ever tested Stygian with 0 bodies and a panacea proc, but I do not think it would work that way as it needs bodies to work. Have you got plans for putting actual sets in all the other powers? You will only get so far if you have common IOs in a human only build. Most of your damage on single targets will be coming from your fluffy summons.

It is not a good idea to try to run human only on basic common IOs. Tri-form works better on a budget. Also a basic IO build won't have the tools needed to take an AV down. My suggestion is swap to triform or throw some proper inf at the human only approach. Plenty of those in the search if you need them for inspiration.

I get that, I still have 400-500 WIOs in a base from last years purchase. I would only purchase purely to flip for easy profit or open all up and take the long route of catalyse and sell. I have yet to decide what I am going to do.

Also you get the opportunity to have a granite tank making pretty whirly dance movements.

So is it a worthwhile investment still in your opinion? I am considering burning my total net of 40B into them just for lolz (i don't actively play so it doesn't matter if I dont get crazy returns, just breaking even is the minimum requirement really).

That...is a sizable investment. GGWP

Bio is pretty hardcore to kill on tanks. Unless it is up against psionics, which might prove an issue as i dont think a normal build will get softcap, i cannot recall. But you can still always rely on the absorb shield, which is pretty chonky on a tank with the extra HP to work from.

my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

well that cuts into the margin somewhat. was hoping i could just do some background stuff to get to 50B and then look to double that over the next year with sales of winter packs back at normal prices. Wont be able to get near that though now 😞

now that is a nefarious plan suitable of a monocle wearing ebil marketeer *twirls moustache*

if i had 100B i would do the same. I don't have 100B, but if i did...

One of my early memories of playing CoH (i am 29 currently, so this must have been around the age of 13 ish) was when my dad heard of the hype around Fire/Ice tanks and his was in hollows and just had picked up burn. He just showed me as he mowed down about 4 or 5 entire mobs that he aggroed from over on the first hill. It was brutal. I have no other memory of Fire tanks from back then, but I can certainly imagine what a lvl 50 Fire/Ice tank could do with burn 6 slotted for damage on perma hasten.

I would say 500B is a good place to hang up the boots. However being able to use a T rather than a B after your net worth would be pretty pimp.

I would move a slot from Combat Jumping, and move it into fearsome stare and use the 3 slots for maxing accuracy and tohit debuff if possible. Also swap one of the IOs in CJ for a Kismet +6% tohit IO. Swap the BotZ in Mystic Fly for the -KB one instead. You might be able to scrounge a slot from Darkest Night if you can get 2 or 3 tohit debuff/end IOs from various sets

can do this on a few blasts sets. I haven't tested many but you can do it on dark blast. I assume also Psy blast since you can hi the T2 and use T1 before it hits depending on your ranging

so you made 1.2B from 22 enhancement boosters. That is something special

At least you secured your salvage right?
