Snarky

Or "please don't stand on the ouro portal picking your nose..."

This is a glass half something scenario. Unless you are dealing (with a lot!) of drunk(s) you are probably seeing new players. Which the community needs. Who knows, if they stay around they may figure out what the glowie sound means...

Yeah, i hit P2W and drop 40 mil there before I even decide if i like the concept, much less the powersets. I mean, I need my ports and toys! Then I might delete the thing, or more likely park it for 2 years if it bores me in a few hours.

Why? No, really. Why?

Depending on how long you been gone Doc Buzzsaw has a new arc blue and red. Soooo good.

something to sing about?

The stuff on the left has more synergy

You are 100% correct. You buy a attuned set on auction that is 30-50. You can slot it at 27. It will be level 30. As you level it is “attuned” to your level and levels with you. The set bonuses work from the level you slot it. If you drop level down to 15 to run a Posi TF the set bonuses disappear. All enhancers are squished when going down that far, but they still count. For something. The set bonuses only work from 27 and up

I struggle with this. Depending on what you are doing there are niche cases where a Brute is (might be) a better choice. SS damage dealer for instance. FS is the one AoE that got almost nothing in the great Tank give away. I have a Dark/Invul Brute which I believe is more effective than a Invul Dark Tank. You could argue not. But Dark Melee is an odd set and the synergy of Dark melee Invulnerable Armor is based off recharge and applying a ton of ST hard hitting attacks. For survival the Rech brings up dull pain fast and the Dark attack/hral keeps you topped off. Concept should be the guiding factor. But with the worst ATOs in the game and every Dev hating on them for the last 15 years Brutes are in a shit place.

Yomo's Whizbang Potpourri Extravaganza of a Giveaway! free giveaway contest By Yomo Kimyata June 19, 2020 in General Discussion

Welcome aboard! Lot of questions. Cash will help. Look up Yomo and his giveaway thread. 20 mil helps. Single Origin Enhancers are available at 5th? level now. They can be "levelled" with you. (button on enhancement screen) but it is spendy to keep redoing it. See Yomo above. Buy "attuned" sets from the Auction. They level with you. Most sets that are good are 30+ But there are some true gems in the lower levels depending on build. If your build needs a lower level set then slot it and do not over think it. (unless its on a main attack or something important) If you "outlevel" an SET (not a SO) the bonuses top out at that level. No other harm. There is a mids on this board. find the latest link in that section. Welcome and have fun!

I play Invulnerability and Dark most often on Defense sets. I use Hyperstrike's Invul templates. I will not go into details, because everything I do there is pretty much plagiarism Dark. Hmmm. Many people on the boards F this up so bad it just makes me shake my head. They do not take either / or both Stun and Fear Toggles. For whatever reasons. Shit decision. Everybody that knows anything about Defense sets in CoH knows this: Defense is better than Resist is better than Heal. Simple Math statement. Def > Res > Heal. Dark is a Resists set, so should be in the 2nd tier, at best. Built correctly this is not only an A tier set, but in most cases an S tier set. I have Tanked Rom on a Master Ms Lib run using Dark successfully. So, why? First. DO NOT try to build Defense. You have no Defense Debuff Resistance. Build Resistance. But you point out, didn't you say Resistance is less effective than Defense? How does that work? So... I tell you. Dark stands Def > Res > Heal on it's head and then dances on it's feet. Dark has non suppressing Stealth. So you can brutalize 17 Longbow and their buddies in the next spawn a few feet away stand around, drink coffee, and idly wonder what is going on. Dark's Stun, Fear, and To Hit debuffs provide a VERY strong "faux defense" to STOP attacks so you do not need Def, Res, or Heal. This works on the trash. On beasts like Rom and AVs? You can get most of your armors at 100% Res easy. This means they cannot be debuffed. Res will cap at 90% but Res is it's own Res debuff Res. 100% works against everything but a few weird LB wardens with a special power. You cannot get Energy to 100, but you can get it very high if you try. Hard. So you are mostly taking tiny damage from everything that does hit you. Then Rom wallops you with ALL the energy damage. But you got high (if not perfect) energy resistance... AND... the best heal in the game. Hands down. No contest. Take you from 1% to 100%. and it is up every few seconds. Dark. Not for everyone. Expensive. Tough to build right. Tough to understand at first. S class armor just waiting for you to try.

I build Dark Armor to emphasize what it does. RESIST...it is NOT Futile. Your "faux" Defense comes from to hit debuffs, Fear Aura, Stun Aura, and unsuppressing Stealth. Frak chasing Defense that goes away when someone pokes at it. Lost Cause. RESISTANCE!!!

yes, and i said buffed when i meant designed. so much for acurace

then why does he have a pink princess phone from the 70s?

You guys. Seriously. You WANT the voice to be this lofty impossible perfect person. Flambeaux is the truth.

All my ice Blast toons use a Macro for targeting 'Target" and "Myself" for the rains. Makes for an extra tray, but worth it.

maybe you are the only one that got that message, because the Brute inherent has been heavily nerfed. then other Melee ATOs get buffed, AND all the other Melee ATs got great ATOs while Brutes got crap. Everyone that has "adjusted" the game has seen 'good reasons' to make sure Brutes get the very short end every time.

Giving +Fury as an ATO effect on Brutes is equivalent to giving +0% damage in 90% encounters. Not my job to solve the games issues. But this is one of the many reasons I stopped playing Brutes. It is an AT that has been hated by EVERY generation of CoH/V Devs, or at least hated on. I have walked away.

you know how blessed Scrappers and Stalkers alreasy are with the best ATOs, and Tankers with AoE. Still....you prod

this game has a lot of "I got you" effects that only apply a few seconds later. in combat that seems long. Ha ha. I made it to safety. you cant touch me. I'm dead?

If you do not like it on a Blaster….

So….we should nerf nerf bait?
