Snarky

Well, first you missed the explanation WHY I do DFB 4 times. But realizing you are lost is the first step.

I keep seeing those old private detective. Best parodied by the lovely Jessica Jones. (in my opinion)

This is a great point in a game that is streamlining itself to Blasters Corruptors and Tanks. A big step in making ATs with Holds instead of Nukes would be to address the disparity in cooldowns.

Concept is everything to me. This creates joys and sorrows. Today I came across a beautiful pairing I never considered before. Ice/Dark/Soul Corruptor. This will be a Wraith. The only buffing or healing I do is one heal that heals me and is centered around me. EVERYTHING is ranged. I made a build with huge defense numbers and some resistance. The powers work well together, the tar patch and the rains for instance. It has FOUR single target holds. One of which hits like a truck. But beyond that it looks like the character i am describing. Everything lines up. i ran two DFBs. I was not going to farm until later but someone offered a free run. Took me to 20. Then i did a Posi 1. I was impressed already. I will do a posi 2 tomorrow then farm myself for 10 min. Probably end up late 20s. Then rebuild for Synapse and Tarikoff. You see I like to run all the TF SF and Trials in level order. In this way I learn how to actually run the character. I like to be at the top end of the level range or s little over. You can use powers up to top level of TF +5.

I do forget I am leading about 20% time. I'm like "why aren't they posting the damn mission?"

So ice storm from ice mastery benefits from containment but sleet from cold domination does not? Why doesn’t sleet?

I would take all Dark Dark powers, buffing people as a side effect of buffing myself is acceptable. If not optimal.

No shields

Which combo would be strongest for team play? Ice/Cold, Ice/Dark, Dark/Cold, or Dark/Dark. Of note I take no buff ally powers in any configuration. I do love the undead. Bonus points for recommendations on Ice or Soul Mastery to top it off. The only power there I forego is summon seer. I do not need Arachnos watching my every move

I am getting closer. Huge def values 30+ almost everywhere. 45 ranged neg and energy. Almost capped cold resistance! (For theme snd efficiency using winter sets). But i still have questions about what powers to slot how. Parking everything for the night

When are we not tight on slots? I swear if i was allowed 6 slots on every power (including brawl!) i would sit there thinking…if only one could have 8…

i probably do not know the right questions to ask. any advice is appreciated. here are a couple... 1) does Sleet need accuracy? This goes for Snow Storm, Artic Air, Ice Slick, Artic Fog, Jack Frost, Heat Loss, and Ice Storm from Frost Mastery.

Most of these projects are aimed at seeing how well the idea performs with a team. That I do not want to recruit anew every 10 minutes.

I cannot tell from MiDs if Accuracy is needed or Hold duration can be increased since this is a Pseudo Pet. Anyone know the details?

Well, my latest obsession has been taking an AT powersets all the way through the game in near perfect level order of TF SF and Trials. BUt there is that gap at the end. Since I am “learning” the powers and synergy getting on ITFs and such that are 50+4 kill alls when I am effectively 49 is not helping me understand anything. Levelling sure. But I can farm myself way faster if I just wanted 50s

Task Forces are way easier to recruit for. And i already do not like that. And as you pointed out, people will not stay. Filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom is not my thing. You enjoy that.

You seriously did not read my original post where I addressed the problems relating to 40-50 TFs 1) Very few that are actually non 50. 1b) those that can be run at 50 tend to be run at 50, either 50+4 or speed. (and I do not mean "let's do this Synapse as fast as we can. I mean a 10 min ITF) 1c) It is not super easy to join a 50+4 as a 40. If you do, you are worthless. Enjoy your time at the door. 2) Have you ever tried to recruit for a Shadow Shard TF when it is not the weekly? Get back to me when you have. Thats a chunk of available 40-50 you can mark unlikely. 3) Oh wait, that is EVERYTHING. Level 45-50 TFs and Shadow Shard. Hmmmm. Since you will also not read this I suppose I can check back in tomorrow for more of you telling me I have not looked deep enough. You can have my stuff if you feel energetic enough to try to take it. I am a hair puller. Well, and an eye gouger. Oh, and a biter.

AC/DC "Problem Child"

Wow, you can keep running Numina for 10-11 runs? to get to 50. Geez, thanks, I never realized,

Powering so many of my friends too!

Thor as we see him depicted, and as a Norse god, is a Tank Mage. He wields Elec Assault at incarnate level and a modest size hammer that works as a Titan weapon, has super strength, and Invul armor. Try building that in CoH. You want a challenge? Forget the costume.

I've been on crawls with Cosmic Council for months and months at a time. All it takes is getting up to grab a coffee between missions. Missing the talk to "X" and you are one mission behind and the team is moving on. It seems simple, but it quickly goes to not getting merits.

I think its just two more flights up. Maybe three. Just keep going.

Everyone assumed you meant invention salvage. You probably did there are many types of “salvage” in game. Incarnates, event, and the various horrendously expensive “special”

Lol no seismic smash! It is a very small AoE and I really play him ranged. He is at 45 right now. I ran a ton o TFs yesterday but today could not get a team going for TV1. I led a Nimi and finished TF comm. but i had job stuff and a workout so…. I got like 2 levels I am running him VERY tactically. I watch the mobs and the team like a hawk. He is not a speed build. I have no stealth except a stealth proc in sprint. That and eating a couple purples will get me through a map in an emergency. I prefer to let the speed runners go. I stay behind and do fire support for the casual crowd. I tool bonfire and six slotted Overwhelming Force. That gives great control and keeps them in the pain. Useful for protecting myself and others or for slapping under an AV. I use Meteor sparingly. It is a finicky nuke. I love the range. I have almost dialed in the delay. Very similar to learning Knockout Blow. You want to use it but not waste it. The two lesser AoE Seismic has do a great job. Ranged 😎
