But Jimmy, why do you have to add complications to my already complicated life? It's hard to keep up and I only have a tiny bug-brain.

Is there a particular kind of buff that you are looking for? Or a certain combination?

I nominate Andreah to start a Faux-Yomo Cheese and Cracker Snacker donation. Send e-mail, receive 100,000 inf. Do I have a second?

When I grow up, I want to be Yomo . . . with an assistant to do the clicking for me . . . while I slurp bloody marys.

Fire melee does, but not fire armor.

IMO, rad/rad would be a better all around for content and can farm, while rad/fire will be a better farmer that can play general content.

Keep reading . . . But again, we are arguing over an agreement that neither of us has seen. You can choose to believe whatever you want, as can I. No sense in debating this further.

Well, I guess we are both guessing since I assume that neither of us has read the agreement. But generally speaking, license agreements allow the use of intellectual property under certain conditions. Just like Marvel can't stop Sony from making Spider-Man movies, including all of Spidey's rogue gallery. Marvel would, l'm confident, love to have all of Spider-Man back under their umbrella, but they can't because they licensed it to Sony to make movies.

Comas, mean everything. Butt speling is impotent two! Also: fixed!

But Jimmy, why are you so mean? I just want to do what I want, when I want, to who I want. Is that so wrong?

Also, don't forget that a license works both ways. Meaning that both sides have entered into a licensing agreement, a contract, and as long as HC abides by the terms of the contract, NCSoft cannot arbitrarily shut them down. Before the agreement they could just say "Stop." Now NCSoft has to abide by the agreement just as much as HC does.

I can understand your position, but they could have pulled out plug anytime over the last few years before granting us the license. What makes you think that it is more likely that they will pull the plug on us now vs. before? If anything, I think the unlicensed ones would be hit first. And finally, the code is out there. Anyone with the knowledge and desire can make a CoH server. If NCSoft suddenly starts issuing cease and desist letters or formal lawsuits they will find themselves playing wack-a-mole.

But Jimmy, why can't I have maximum XP all the time, everywhere, for free?

Penguins!

You need to make a forum account AND a game account. The login name and password can (and for safety should) be different. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/getting-started/?_fromLogout=1

But Jimmy, why you gotta be so . . . Cryptic . . .

I didn't do nuthin! Ya got nuthin on me copper! *runs down an alley.*

I like the idea of a Praetorian Pool and your write-up is detailed and cool! Obviously, we have to test it and maybe change or adjust. I would suggest completion of the Number 6 arc as the final note of Preatoria. Plus it's a super cool arc that I think a lot of people haven't done. It was never live, the "Find Contact" button doesn't direct you to him, and he's kind of tucked away in a corner of the RWZ base. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Number_Six

But Jimmy, don't you know that I know this much is Troo?

On just theme, other than the Scorpion Shield from Mace you mentioned, I would give Power another look. Power Build Up is an awesome power for anyone, but especially ice/ice corrupter. It's a combination of Build Up, so more +damage and +tohit, AND Power Boost, which boosts all mezzes, tohit, slows, defense, and other stuff. You have two holds in ice blast and just about everything adds slow to your opponents. Unfortunately, it doesn't boost your ally shields as they also have resistance and that ends up negating the boost. But it would boost maneuvers, combat jump, weave, etc. https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=epic.power_mastery.power_build_up&at=corruptor Temp Invulnerability is a fairly basic smash/lethal armor. But you can add the two unique IOs to add another 6% defense as well. Force of Nature is essentially Unstoppable from Invulnerability so it has the big crash at the end. Some people hate that, others don't mind. Alternatively, the only "ice" powers would be in Leviathan - Hibernate and Shark Skin. While Shark Skin doesn't sound particularly icy or glassy. it provides smash/lethal/cold resistance and can be used with minimal effects to just be a slight aura.

Can you post a build? I might have some suggestions on slotting and power picks if I can see the whole thing.

But Jimmy, it's just business, nothing personal.

Illusion/Storm/Psionic- So much chaos!! Psionic Mastery pool to get some mez resistance from Indomitable Will, S/L/Psy resist from Mind Over Body, and you can later get Clarion Radial for more mez resistance and boosts to your mez. It is a little end heavy, but you have to slot smart, use blues, buy survival amplifiers, or recovery serum.

If you are looking for them to post the text of the agreement that goes over that, don't hold your breath. Ever hear of NDAs?

Do you know what's in the agreement between NCSoft and Homecoming? Safe guess is that you don't regardless of all your years of experience.
