Snarky

That was the sentence on the Wiki I was looking for Uun! Thanks. The Set Bonuses of Purple (Very Rare) sets, PvP sets, Archetype Origin sets, and Winter Origin sets are immune to the effects of exemplaring. However, the aspects of the power that they buff (e.g., Accuracy or Damage) are affected by exemplaring just like any other enhancement.

Well, why would you like the Blueside bar? Obviously you are villains. Go RP Redside. Oh....but do not forget to insist they clean it up and gentrify it. Maybe some new paint to. Anybody? Get these shlubs painting. Maybe....oh, blue!

Thanks for all the research folks. I've spent the last chunk of time doing the MiDs, respeccing the 2nd build, buying the crap from the AH, and slotting catalyzing etc. And doing my normal studies on the side. So definitely appreciate the boots on the ground data!

Read my OP, it is a cut/paste from the Wiki

Thank you so much. I was busy building the crazy little monster in MiDs assuming this was true. Nice to know for a fact. at 9 powers up to 14 will work. Set bonus from "normal" level 10 sets will work. Globals (attuned, if the go down to 10) work in powers shut off. as do set bonuses in powers shut off....so i slapped two purple sets and a Sup Winter in greyed out powers for some bonuses. This will be my 2nd build and then after I have done ALL level 9 Ouro badges will rebuild for level 14. Here is what the little monster looks like: (ignore the random 1 pieces here and there in the greyed out stuff, was looking at options) This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

If you can't handle a puking guy you do not need to be Redside. I just kidnapped three Paragon citizens to deliver to Vahzilok for live vivisections. Something Dmitri Krylov anted. I didnt really listen to him, something about diverting attention. anyways, he paid me to do it. Barfing people? You have issues with barfing people? Get your Karen butt back Blueside you freaking wannabe.

Regular sets should provide set bonuses until 7. As per regular Exemplaring. And as the Wiki states. I am equally unsure about your "knowledge" of how the Superiors work.

I always look in the back of the textbook for the answer. You really want me to do the experiment myself???

The effects of exemplaring down to level 9 (doing Ouro stuff) is not addressed in the Wiki. Does anyone know? This is everything Wiki says that might be relevant. Overview Winter Origin (WO) Enhancements are all-unique and attuned enhancements. There are four damage sets and a hold set, for a total of five sets. Standard winter enhancements grant set bonuses that are roughly equivalent to rare enhancement sets, while superior winter enhancements grant set bonuses that are roughly equivalent to very rare enhancement sets. Each standard enhancement has a level 10 minimum requirement, but as an attuned enhancement, the enhancement portion will increase as the character's level increases. The enhancement portion is affected by exemplar as normal. Set bonuses for standard enhancements will operate down to level 7. Superior Enhancements Enhancement catalysts can be applied to the standard enhancements to boost them to "Superior" versions with higher enhancement values and bigger set bonuses. However, catalyzing a winter enhancement will also increase the minimum level requirement to 50, similar to very rare (purple) enhancements. To catalyze a whole standard set into a superior set, a player must have six enhancement catalysts, as each piece must be catalyzed separately.

I never used zzzzzz. THe only recent use of messages like this was when I was Tanking a Shadow Shard TF and they dimension shift you. i would tell the team. Not that they could do anything, but I thought they should know,

with zombies low level pet, skeletons 2nd tier, and a renfield as the boss pet. Renfield tanks, because,,,,fanatic.

Doing good so far. Finished all content through 9 and just have 3 contacts in 10-14 left before moving on. Caltrops of course works wonders on big pulls. I had a choice between bean bag and hasten and chose bean bag. The damage is meh okay as a finisher now but the stun is very nice on a pull. Caltrops down. The +60% damage on first strike from targeting drone with a Sniper Rifle puts down a lot of stuff. Stun another and you usually just have one Lt or minion running at you….through caltrops. Of course strategy will change in the higher levels Did a Posi1 last night. I even asked people not to go near the steps. Two people hopped right up there as I watched. I dropped caltrops and the team fought everything at the bottom of the steps. I ate a large purple and two med reds. I have a bunch of P2W nades and as I was the only Blaster I just unleashed hell. Between that and the two AoEs and a couple good ST I was Fing things up. We did not wipe! I have a one Incarnated now AR Dev, but this will help me refine power choices and playstyle, as well as being a lot of fun. On my third day, 200 badges in and will have 300 today (I location badge at the end of the night to hit goal).

with a fully ranged AT? I go for Ranged Def (which tend to get Energy!) and then some AoE def if it fits

might want to mention the server you like....?

There is still a toon here or there in the SG. But the core leadership (Who hosted weekly Incarnate Trials including Master Magisterium every Saturday, and nightly content 99% time...) just all up and went to a different game. Now WoW, but something like it. I know they had "done" everything on CoH, with many holding speed run times and all the badges. Still, seemed wild. It is dead there now.

I would hate that. i was afraid LRM would transform but thankfully it just fires from the old faithful. I use the old original AR model. I call it a Dally Gun (Dial-A-Gun)

Well Cosmic Council shows no signs of returning. Kind of wish there were other solid SGs like that on each server. Organized, regular, very competent. You know, the basics.

Never leave the game. Never.

I think most of us find the power repellant.

Tony Stark had dancing girls when he made his presentation. Just sayin'...

Yeah, Dark Blast was originally Corr only, proliferated to Blasters issue 21. And they made (and by made I mean they slapped something together and went to the bar.....at their desk) Dark Manipulation in issue 21 as well. it got a rework in issue 27 and it still SUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKSSS.

Dark Dark is wonky and, in my opinion, will never be touched or fixed on HC. That is for a Blaster. But.... If you run Dark Dark Dark Corruptor all the wonkiness goes away and the thing lines up like someone designed it that way. Which.....not a history buff. wasnt this orig a corr thing ported over to blasters and....done with the normal "the plane hit the ground so it must have landed" precision...?

I have not tested this. Anything that makes the game think you are "in combat" drops it. I need to get good with an AR now which is why I am soloing on one. Does popping an insp drop it? What powers will/wont? Lot of questions. Another detail that makes playing this combo a lot of fun to me.

Time for me to solo Redside again. This time it will be on a AR Dev Blaster. Concept. Thug comes to Paragon to steal a truck and gets turned into a vampire. Has no real powers besides a refusal to die. So....he finds a local fence and starts grabbing all the tech he can get and firepower. Sunscreen field generator. Expensive but important! Grenades, guns, teleporters, get everything! Rules. (Redside, there are no rules....) All P2W goodies. Rolling Rogue. Will be semi casually badging the entire game as I level. Stop exp at 4, 7, 8, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 44 to do ALL Redside contacts and side missions. Complete all Redside content in each level range before moving on. Almost all content completed at the last level it is offered. 20-40 done at 40. 35-50 done at 50. 20-29 done at 29. Roll through DFBx4 and then DiBx4 for buffs lasting to 22 then 30. Cash no object, idea is to crush the missions using every tech 'cheat' the rogue can scrounge. Fun stuff: Costume will 'evolve' over time from Vamp in street clothes at 1 to a slight tech outfit with rocket boots and jet pack when Fly power is added at 8. Then way later when body armor power from munitions mastery is added at 35 I will add some more armored looking pieces. Can;t decide if I will add a helmet then....probably? maybe not.

We definitely need more gun options that explain all the powers on the weapon. Maybe something high tech with little glowing lights and projections. Maybe a steampunk version that did not look like a fluglehorne but had devices on it
