Does cold damage actually heal Lord Winter? Or does he have like 95% cold res? (i jumped on a ice/dark Corr for winter badges and, …. I felt like a fender in the league lol)

I want to thank all of you who I have gamed and/or PUG'd with over the last year. Special shout out to Justice Super Teamers for backing my Really Hard Way runs. (and Ukase for finding the old Cosmic Council battle plan, then jumping in to help) I hope the Holiday Season is wonderful for you! May the new year be a wonderful year. Some will say I must be getting soft. But I really do wish you a Wight Christmas.

KNOW your enemy. I can tell at a glance if a spawn will mez me 95% time. (Or kill me, super mez…). So, I then act accordingly. I tend to carry a bunch of medium purple inspirations. Both on me and in the AH for replenishment. One of those before a tough fight is a good idea. Mez them first! I use fear, stun, and sometimes knockdown. Kill them.

So you are saying we should huck three heroes off a tall building into manure. I agree.

You might as well be telling me how to build a working lightsaber with parts and tools from home depot. The results will be the same.

5 months later, let me reiterate. this thing sucks.

save your gourd for that someone special

your what is unbreakable? and you say it is proc-ing?

you have to open it thru doing hallows missions contacts

In my opinion for scourge you will be hard pressed to find a better Corruptor than Ice Dark for ranged work. Throwing Tar Patch then Blizzard and Ice Storm is just brutal

I have AoE two attack chains on my Dark Dark Corr. PBAoE. Now I run a mag 2 PBAoE stun toggle. So I see a big spawn. I thrtow Fear Cone, Then i toss a ranged AoE mag 2 Stun. THEN I wander in. A lot of stuff is feared, to hit debuffed, and mag 4 stunned... I drop tar patch, use the build up from Dark epic, Nuke, leave. I use the PBAoE chain again when the nuke is recharged and there is a juicy group. Ranged. Then i step out to a healthy distance and use all the cones. My build also has a ton of +range in it. This really makes the cones much more useful. The cones are actually a main strategy I use. I will cone whatever my teammates are working on, 1 fear, 3 dps (one with KB--> KD in it.) so crowd control and scourge. Then there are all the other things a Dark Dark Corr is good at.

I have run a LOT of Dark Dark characters. I do have a 50 Dark Dark Stalker, but do not enjoy the playstyle. A Dark Dark Brute is great, but I build it different than 90% of those I see. I build to it's strengths, rather than trying to make it into invulnerability I have mained both a Dark Dark Blaster and Corruptor. I find the Corruptor easirt and more powerful. It has (build correctly) the ability to wade into a spawn to Nuke that the Blaster lacks. Plus all the good things a Corruptor gets.

We need to develop recruiters to address this issue. Then, when we can recruit Developers…

in the early days of CoH the Devs ACTIVELY tried to obscure players understanding things. Having this group of Devs weed through that BS is actually asking a lot.

It gives the same protection

i cannot get into the place where i have my coffin!

This would work bad against projects where you turn off exp, then start again, then stop. Because you could (and will) easily overshoot your next stopping point.

they need to be visually different (markedly) from powers already in the set. or they will encourage mistakes in play. The Corsair was a hell of a plane, arguably (with some detractors) the best plane to use the Double Wasp radial engine. It was also called the Ensign Eliminator because it killed green pilots. The P-47 Jug was designed to be flown by Iowa farmboys with a couple hundred hours flight time. Same engine, but a breeze to fly, everything labelled clearly, and no surprises. Why are they changing an already complicated armor set like Dark, that already people play and build just really sideways, and make it more complicated and strange? Then make the icons play wack a mole with you?

Okay, most of us can admit that having Holiday badges once a year is not optimal. There are upsides. Few, but let us review. Cherished Holiday memory. Something to look forward to. Did I miss anything? Okay, now let's get to it. The badger population is a strange and hungry group. The desire for these tiny rewards is a mighty curse. But this is largely who the holiday badges are for. I suggest catering to the clientele. Der Kunde ist Konig. Errr, The Customer is King. The downsides to once a year badges. I have actually not created or ran certain characters because of the thought of not getting the badges until 10 months from creation. ADHD is a bitch. Also, we have a gaming population that is not getting younger. Let's finish off some projects before "sundown..." Proposal. Have one "season" of badges available one week a month. There are 4 "seasons" Anniversary, Spring, Halloween, Christmas. This should have each type of badge avail 5 times a year. It would promote focused objective teaming during that week. It would make a lot of geeks happy. Downsides, ... extra coding. "Traditionalists" not happy badges are free from being rigidly gate kept.

lol, well. it was a brute i parked for a long time. i was hitting "heal" from two trays occasionally during hectic combats. the brute is tough, the team good, it was rare and i was not tracking results. i die. once. and cannot find my rez. then i do find it, realize it is on cooldown because i hit it as a heal. the reason i died, because my true dark heal never fired in short, having to + heal icons sucks. it is easy to see it is time to change it to something recognizable.

in a recent patch some well meaning soul changed the Soul Transfer icon (a universal Rez looking thing) to a Heal icon... which the set already has. this created a bit of confusion and inconvenience on a recent Zoe i did for the badges on a dusty old Brute there is no way this is a good idea, not should it stand. thank you.

i rarely build characters anymore. no time, and i have done a lot of it. still, ... i keep a base with bins (avg 80-99% full) 2 bins ATO, 1 bin winter, 1 bin purp/pvp/OF, 1 bin Hami, 1 bin heal/end, 1 bin res/def, 1 bin ranged ST, 1 bin ranged AoE, 1 bin melee, 1 bin pbaoe, and a couple 3-4 bins of random stuff somewhat grouped by job debuff/hold/KB red, etc this amount was good but not great when i was building a new character each week, and it is way too much now that i am just tinkering. but damn useful.

there are many great strategies for fundraising!
