Snarky

I think Dark Dark is most efficient on a Brute. But i have both Tank and Brute. My main issue with Dark on a Tank is that Dark’s non suppressed stealth makes them a less efficient Tank. Whereas it just adds to a Brute being able to be an unstoppable ball of hate

so much simpler. i see it now.

if you want to ignore the end cost of the toggles, the layering of the armor coming in as you level and a number of other factors. Which are NOT COMPLICATED because there is no call to SIMPLIFY, obviously...

Without beating the horse to death, feeding it to villagers and then beating them to death... You just specifically advocated for simplifying the toggles....while insisting you are not advocating to simplify that area. You know what forget it. Horse, villagers. Then I'm going to find some cannibals, feed them the villagers, and, well you get the drift. Okay, maybe you don't.

oh i get that. i am just amusing myself. watching you insist you were not advocating for simplifying each of those areas brings me some joy, and since no CoH2 is around the corner i need to keep amused. ps. honestly, you can tell me, why are you insisting you are not advocating for simplifying those areas. I've read it over twice. you addressed each of those areas specifically and advocated for changes....that simplified....each of the areas. wait...are you just amusing yourself too? nice.

You are definitely complicating your response about a desire to simplify each of these areas Does that make you feel better?

Luminara gave the perfect description. With files. I was just going to say "there is a way" to hit one button, have it do X and the next time you hit it do Y....then Z or back to X depending on its presets. People like Luminara go that extra step.....and then take it another 26 miles until someone tells them the marathon is over.

yes, exactly. that. and defense. and resistance. and recharge. and toggles. oh, and mez protection.

two words....git gud seriously. knowing when to drop KO blow and a blaster nuke is about knowing how to play. because you are on a team with people cleaning spawns you feel powerless. sometimes on a +4 kill all itf i will follow that one guy not with the group. we become a mini team and get to crush shit. the team did not need us, so we are actually speeding up the TF completion. git gud

so......simplify....everything?

And make sure villains can run through the neighborhoods destroying everything

You are correct. But there is another mag 2 AoE stun available in Dark Dark Dark and it tirns your stun into mag4. Magic happens. Cloak of Darkness allows you to get close. Toss the ranged AoE mag 2 stun as you wade in with the Aura mag 2 stun. This screws with 95% mobs pretty hard. Soul Drain and Blackstar with impunity. Step or TP back and cone of Fear (to bit debuff). Then start barrage of cones and/or ST burn phase

Exactly how large an order of crap did you want? Large, extra large, or “bury me under Bandini mountain?”

My Dark Dark Dark Corruptor is about as vicious as you can get. Debuff and mez mobs to hell then switch to blaster mode

Oh I decided long ago they were just “following the rules” to not get in trouble for fraud. They collected a lot of money. If the did nothing they were screwed. Now, if the do a project horribly stupid they are not legally in any trouble

Seriously the only time I have been shocked by how fast this Brute hit the floor was in a shadow shard tf. Some idiot died in a crossroads in a cave. I decided to be a hero. Fing Rularuu could see me right through stealth. I hade EVERYTHING shooting me from range. It was packed in all four directions. Other than that +4 ITF, Incarnate trials, everything in game is yawn. Until you get to Battle Maiden and Magisteriums damage patches

I agree with so much here. I do take issue with the idea of Dark being vulnerable to defense debuffs. Like, so much it makes me want to rant. If you are building defense into your Dark on purpose you are honestly lost on how Dark works. Dark uses cheezy mezz (Fear and Stun) and a crapton of to hit debuffs, plus unsuppressable stealth to fight the fight IT wants. Against AVs the Armor and massive health recovery is enough. This holds up until you get to the damage patches in Incarnate Trials and trying to Tank 4 star content. But....you are the Brutiest of Brutes. Not a Tank. Very good damage, unkillable against your selected prey (nearly everything, as long as you play to your game, not theirs) My build: This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

i love it

In real life I spend a LOT of time sitting in traffic, attempting to ignore/be polite to other drivers. I am a Semi driver in a large Metro area. So, I have to amuse myself. I buy lottery tickets pretty regularly. When the jackpots soar, I dream of what I could do with all that power. 1) Buy the rights to CoH. I have not researched it, but I understand this is actually held partially in at least two (possibly more) corporations hands. 2) Develop a game producing studio. Maybe in a few of the offices in the same building that I am hiding from the world in a penthouse suite. Maybe I will put them in a warehouse decorated like a base for that authentic touch. 3) Staff the game producing studio. This would require bribing and / or kidnapping a large part of the HC team to relocate. Money does talk. 4) Have the team rewrite the entire existing game in a modern code / engine. Every stupid mission. Including the blue ones I hate. Did you know one A-hole blueside contact has a mission you need to rescue 17 people? and when you do it turns into a kill all? Gotta recreate this. No one else was that visionary. 5) Bolt on Extra content / powers. Pain in the butt but would need to be done in a way where if vets wanted to play as authentic as possible they could still do so. Possibly through multiple servers you could migrate the same toon through, each gated to a different time in CoH history. Like I said....I sit in traffic a lot...

Good point. Stabbing wastes blood. A large amount of repeated blunt force trauma is much more heroic.

I am casually annoying. It may not seem like my “biggest power…” yet, as you see the effects over the centuries you begin to realize how great it changes things. Now, activating and deactivating it….that seems to be the tricky part

For me concept is above everything. What is your vision for the character, their origin, and how they rock the world?
