Lockpick

Thank you!

Is AR better on a Corruptor or Defender? Planning to go Time for the second power set.

I doubt I am missing the OPs point, since I am the OP. 🙂 My point was simple which is to have low, mid, and high content each week. That way all levels can participate. There are 18 low level based (based on my assumption of low level, which is 25 and below) content, so it would be simple to make sure low level content is available each week. I'm not sure why you would want 8 tiers like you have; seems excessive. I would also suggest the WST doesn't have to be just TFs. Maybe they could add Oro content, SSAs, and contact arcs if it helps the rationalization effort.

I don't know that you have to guarantee maximum level compatibility, just do some rationalization to make it more even. My thoughts were around the categories of Low (25 and below), Medium (25 to 35), and High (35+). In This scenario it is the mid-level that has fewer TFs. I suppose it depends on where you consider the cut-off for Low, maybe 20 is better, but based on the content it seems like some rationalization can be done even if it does not perfectly align every week. Low, 25 and Below: 18 Mid, 25 to 35: 9 High, 35+: 20 Week 1 The Rule of Three (Positron, Level 8-15) Dam Hero (Positron, Level 11-16) Beast of the Mountain (Virgil Tarikoss, Level 15-20) Week 2 The Praetorian Offensive (Tin Mage Mark II, Level 50) Alpha Strike (Apex, Level 50) Explorers and Exploiters (Dr. Quaterfield, Level 40-45) Week 3 The Fall of the Clockwork King (Synapse, Level 15-20) The Legend of Ruladak (Sara Moore, Level 44-50) Pirates of the Skies (Silver Mantis, Level 20-25) Week 4 Time's Arrow (Imperious, Level 35-50) The Saga of Faathim (Justin Augustine, Level 44-50) Temple of the Waters (Operative Renault, Level 25-30) Week 5 Ms. Liberty TF (Ms. Liberty, Level 45-50) Future of Freedom (Lord Recluse, Level 45-50) Abandoned Sewer Trial (Mairenn MacGregor, Level 38-50) Week 6 Citadel's Children (Citadel, Level 25-30) Beast of the Mountain (Virgil Tarikoss, Level 15-20) The Eden Trial (Woodsman, Level 39-41) Week 7 The Lady Grey TF (Lady Grey, Level 45-50) The MegaMech Cometh (Ernesto Hess, 25-30) Pirates of the Skies (Silver Mantis, Level 20-25) Week 8 The Lady Grey TF (Lady Grey, Level 45-50) The MegaMech Cometh (Ernesto Hess, 25-30) Pirates of the Skies (Silver Mantis, Level 20-25) Week 9 Following Countess Crey (Manticore, Level 30-35) The Sky is Falling (Admiral Sutter, Level 20-40) The Fire and the Flames (Mortimer Kal, Level 20-40) Week 10 Market Crash (Ada Wellington, Level 40-50) Temple of the Waters (Operative Renault, Level 25-30) The Kheldian War (Moonfire, Level 23-28) Week 11 Soul of the Woodsman (Numina, Level 35-40) Chasing Fool's Gold (Dr. Aeon, Level 35-50) A Tangled Plot (Katie Hannon, Level 30-34) Week 12 Terra Volta Respec #1 (Jane Hallaway, Level 24-33) Tree of Thorns Respec #1 (Sparcetriel, Level 24-33) Terra Volta Respec #2 (James Harlan, Level 34-43) Tree of Thorns Respec #2 (Trepsarciel, Level 34-43) Terra Volta Respec #3 (Richard Flagg, Level 44-50) Tree of Thorns Respec #3 (Ractespriel, Level 44-50)

Market is fine, leave it as is.

My suggestion is to update the WSTs to have content that allows all levels to participate each week. Currently the WSTs are: Ms. Liberty TF (Ms. Liberty, Level 45-50) Future of Freedom (Lord Recluse, Level 45-50) Abandoned Sewer Trial (Mairenn MacGregor, Level 38-50) I am playing a lvl 29 Scrapper, so cannot participate. My suggestion would be to either revamp the WST to have low, mid, and high content OR look at the current WST and add an extra option.

Thank you. I ended up going with HM on a character, so will see how it goes.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not really looking for build advice. Just trying to figure out if the 14.9% discount is worth the equivalent of 1 +END IO.

Cross-posting from Stalker forum as there seems to be very limited interaction there. My stalkers tend to burn END, so I usually go with Energy to get Superior Conditioning and Physical Perfection to slot +END IOs. Psionic has Harmonic Mind with allows the slot of the +END IO and provides a 14.9% END discount. Any of you number crunchers out there have an idea of which might be better? I instinctively assume Energy is better because you can slot 2 + END IOs, but the discount in HM also seems good and you still get 1 + END. Plus Psionic Lance is better than Laser Beam Eyes and you only need 2 power picks with Psionic, but 3 with Energy. (I need a ranged attack from each Epic for slotting purposes). I hope cross-posting like this is not against the rules, if so, please let me know and I will delete it.

Most Value: City of Heroes - I can't even begin to calculate the hours I have played. Skyrim - Over 2,100 hours and counting. Civilization 5 - Over 400 hours, the one more turn mentality was killing me. Freecell Quest - Over 650 hours, if you like Freecell this is a nice little game that you can play while watching something Max Payne 1 & 2 - Not sure how many hours but really enjoyed both of them; couldn't really get into 3 though Least Value: Cyberpunk 2077 - Spent 2.4 hours in game and couldn't get into despite loving Cyberpunk Red Dead Redemption 2 - 92 minutes, same as Cyberpunk I really need to try those 2 again...

Agrred, and I usually solo it if I feel my character can do it, because I can finish in 60 to 70 minutes and I have been in bad groups that are 90+.

I would suggest changing the order of the WSTs, so that the Task Force Commander Task Forces are one after the other. This way a character can get TFC within a 5 week period.

So, I'm interested in what QoL features are missing? From my perspective when CoH was Live it had many more features than newer games that came out. Only game I have seen that has the character description for others to read.

Once you create the T2 Agility Radial Boost and select info the header description is different from the main description. Header states End and Def, main states Recharge and Def. Should be End and Def.

Good intel, thank you! I tend to use my merits for Converters for conversion roulette, Winter IOs, and Purple Recipes. Never thought purples would be so low, but to be fair I do check the purple price before using merits. If the price is over 20 million and I want the purple NAO I just use merits. That being said, I look at it slightly different. Merits are free and I can earn 200 merits a day by doing a Hami raid and a TinPex, so I will typically run that content until I have all the purples I need for a character and then go back to normal marketing.

Agreed, I think Thunderstrike is underrated. I usually slot it for the ranged defense but the other bonuses are all useful.

You could also consider a DP / Ninja Training Blaster. Equilibrium did have a sword fight at the end. Although my DP / MC character is an Equilibrium / 97 Steps homage character.

I'm actually playing my 2nd DP/MC now. I skipped Burst of Speed on both. Well, I had it on my 1st one, but never used it so respecced out of it. My 2nd DP/MC I went down the Inner Will and Rune of Protection path and am finding it quite good. Both were built for 45%+ Range and S/L, so survive pretty well. I still get a kick out of Ki Push and then shooting the baddie as he flies through the air.

I believe you are the one that kicked off the snide / snarky remarks, but your lack of self-awareness probably prevents you from seeing it. It seems like you are quite sensitive based on your long wall of text in your signature where you brag about putting people on ignore. Here is a hint: if you are putting multiple people on ignore, it might be a good idea to look into the mirror, because it is very likely that you are the problem, especially if this thread is any indication of how you usually interact with others. Please add me to your ignore list, since you seem to take glee in collecting ignore trophies.

No, I don't consider most powers that build up additional effects to be hokey. Combo systems are fine, Sentinels are great (usually). I specifically called out Storm Cell as a hokey gimmick because you have to lay out a Location AoE to get effective use of your powers and then it slowly follows you, Another hokey gimmick I dislike is Reaction Time where you get a recharge bonus if you deactivate the power. I love MC as a set, but dislike that type of mechanic. Anyway, I apologize to one and all if I offended anyone with my use of the word "Hokey". I will now go back into my box where I don't post for fear of offending people.

Thank you! You added depth to the conversation and I certainly appreciate you chiming in!

A number of people recommended Marine, so I went with a Water / Marine Corruptor. Thanks for all the replies!

Out of the new sets that HC has developed, which ones are fun to play and strong enough for all content? Fun to play for me is to not have hokey gimmicks like Storm Cell.

Can't believe no one commented on this one. I see what you did there, Leroy.
