Multiple /jrangers don't cancel each other: they multiply. Thus you've squared the /jranger.

Amen.

As an E² blaster from way back (2004), I'm kinda ambivalent about this proposal. I kinda like that Energy Manipulation is relatively unchanged as the OG blapper secondary, that it harkens back to The Good Ole Days™ when we were younger and wilder. But that's just nostalgia, I guess. Yes, I'd prefer that Energize be a toggle instead of a click, and it does make it more consistent with the sustain toggles in the other Blaster secondaries. And I'd also prefer that BR be a passive instead of a click, too. But I'm concerned that this might "homogenize" things too much, and eliminate some of the peculiarities that distinguish Blaster secondaries. */EM has always been the "clicky" secondary, and this would change its identity. Replacing Stun with Whirling Hands is an interesting idea. I've never taken Stun, ever, and I've made/re-made/re-spec'ed my E² Blasters countless times over the years. I might actually try a Blapper build if I could take WH instead of Stun. PT, EP, BS, and WH would be cool to try -- especially since I can't make an Energy Melee Scrapper. But if they ever port EM to Scrappers, then that reduces the appeal of blapping, for me.

In all the years I played CoH (2004-12, 2019-20), I never noticed that this power cost any end at all. The only thing I noticed was how frustratingly long it takes to recharge, especially when I'm standing knee-deep in sewer poo surrounded by a dozen other Lost patiently waiting their turn to be cured destroy me.

It's also useful to mule LotG +Recharge or SW +Res. Yes, please. Even with Afterburner, I'm usually the slowest member of the team. And there's no way I'm going to sacrifice defense powers/sets to pick yet another travel power (à la @Apparition).

QFT.

You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much +recovery...

Fixed that for you.

Is anybody listening?

My self-esteem.

This one any better?

Kind of outdated, but should be good for the fundamentals.

Amen. Preach!

Correct me if I'm reading this wrong, but... I get the impression that @Cipher is just looking to make a web browser of an existing character's build (if the player opts in to publish it, of course), while @The Philotic Knight is looking to make a web browser of a build planner -- like Mid's Reborn. While the two things might end up looking very similar, they serve two very different purposes. Or did I totally misread this thread? I'm looking forward to both works, if they ever become available to us mere mortals. 😊

After playing Energy/Temporal and Fire/Temporal, I can't imagine why any Blaster would play anything but */Temporal, except for concept reasons (e.g.: I still love my Energy² Blaster, but mostly for nostalgia). Temporal is just that good.

That's what I used to think, too, but every retrospective about previous decades (and centuries) seem to start with year 0, like disk drive numbers. *shrug*

Give 'em another few months to warm up.

This problem is notoriously prevalent in DFB, when one or more of the Lost get wedged into a cave tunnel wall. You can't advance/complete the TF until all 66 of them are defeated, and you can't do that if even 1 of them is stuck in the wall. Usually, the only recourse is to whittle them down with a nearby AoE DoT attack (often with really long recharges at those low levels), or simply quit and start over.

Have you played on We Have Cake yet? That's basically their claim to fame over Homecoming. Logon, create a char, ask a GM to wave a magic wand, and PRESTO! You're level 50 with all the Incarnate slots unlocked and all power slots are equipped with a standard set of IOs. They also give you all the Inf you'll need to replace any of those sets with others: they've seeded the AH with Recipes and Salvage, to make it easy. Basically the same as the beta/test server here, except it's the same server that everyone else plays on regularly. I've played on WHC a few times, and it's alright. I have to admit it was thrilling to create my first few chars as instant-50s initially, but the novelty quickly wore off, and I haven't been back in several months since then. It's kind of boring to have everything handed to me immediately, without feeling like I really earned it. It's the same with all of the games I play after I learn the "God-mode" cheat codes: Oblivion, Skyrim, Conan Exiles, etc. Once I figure out that I don't have to suffer through the inconveniences with admin bypasses, I lose all interest. *shrug*

Um, actually... the 20's started on January 1 of this year. Enjoy the decade! 😁

AC was my first MMO. Thistledown, represent!

But is there a guide to all the guides for guides? Guide-ception.
