There does not need to be a complicated system. Donate what you have in excess to @Snarky and I will distribute it across the players and economy. Thanks for making a place Heroes can be heroic!

I am all for this. SomePurple sets (like Absolute Amazement) could use a pure Accuracy enhancer. (I slap it in a low accuracy aoe)

Use P2W powers. Travel powers, Teleports, jet packs etc. Use of pet summons from P2W is great in low level kill alls. If you are badging now is a great time to turn off receiving any recipes that are not very rare. I did and was able to reject 1000 recipes by 44. Now at 560 every recipe I get is bank.

as you pointed out, you are sure i play dark poorly. therefore i still need it, since i play it very terribly. as per your logic, that is who needs it. i need it, i want it, i use it. oh, and i have it.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying. And it looks like it is intentional. I LIKE the to hit debuff proc. I know that you do not. Again, here is what my normal attack chain is. I use a Fear cone at range. This has fear, and a to hit debuff cone. Then I toss Dark Pit, which is a targeted AoE stun. In Dark Pit I have 5 Absolute Amazement, including the proc. And an Accuracy. The to hit debuff proc will stack with the Fear Cone’s to hit debuff. This makes me safer VERSUS TRASH MOBS. If there is an EB or AV I will now use a targeted AoE debuff to hit/damage toggle on them. If not i slide into melee and finish my nuke attack chain; Tar Patch, Spirit Drain, Blackstar. Then joust out drop another fear cone, and usually start a cone attack chain. But maybe a ST attack chain. I posted that not for you. Almost certain you do not care. But to be clear that is why I like the to hit debuff PROC in Absolute Amazement. I have run Dark Armor Melee on Brutes, Tanks, and a Stalker. The low mag fear and stun auras are not for EBs and AVs. They are to deal with a wall of trash mobs. The to hit debuffs help against those as well. (I almost always run Dark/Dark Melee). Asking me again and again how stuns and to hit debuffs work against high level mobs will not get you much beyond this encyclopedia entry. I do not care if you understand it. Likewise I do not think an immob PROC will be very good against an AV or EB so not sure why you are hammering that question. The strategy with Dark is subtle, and most do not fathom it. It is okay. I hooe you find something you do like and understand. Also, none of these suggestions get implemented. So this is really a ton of navel gazing. But I was bored.

The to hit debuff stacks with all my Dark Dark Corr to hit debuffs.

and i like it the way it is. i use the set (with proc) in a targeted ranged AoE mag 2 stun. my attack chain is "Fear Cone (fear, to hit debuff). Dark Pit (Targeted AoE stun), walk into the group (I have a mag 2 stun aura, so 2+2 =4), drop Tar Patch, Spirit Drain (+dam buff, targeted aoe), Nuke (Blackstar). A lot of my attacks do to hit debuff. I do not softcap Defenses. If anyone is resistant to stun (did you know that some critters are?!?) the to hit debuff stacks with the Fear cone (fear is good, the to hit debuff it splashes is glorious) and improves my ability to pull off this madness.

okay, ... i killed over 90,000 enemies on the run. you choose what you want to kill them with. now at 50, with just over 100 contacts to go.

read my thread ( i just posted today to update) basically it is a damn slog. mistakes will be made, you slog on. i do not recommend melee ATs. you need some AoE for clearing big maps. i ran at -1. i use P2W pets. honestly they are of limited use. A blaster if you can handle the EBs. that would be fastest. stealth, you need stealth.

I am a big fan of Dark Dark Dark Corruptor. However, if i was not so enthralled with my Vampire concept…. I would say a Ice/Dark/Dark Corruptor would be slightly safer and slightly more powerful. The only downside i see is losing the ST heal, but you still have the wonderful AoE heal. You are COMPLETELY ranged. The AoEs are DoT that work with Scourge, that synergize with Tar Patch. You have a hard hitting ST chain. Indeed, it is a vicious pairing.

Update! Just finished all content through level 44! 1,201 Badges. 90,277 enemies defeated. 2.447 missions done Reward Merits = 5.168 I will now, finally, level to 50. This is the beginning, not the end. A long beginning, but just a beginning. I consider getting all this stuff done and starting 50 as the Base Camp for the final Ascent. There are all the contacts that are not pure 50 but are still open to a 50 to do. (20-50, 25-50, 30-50, etc...) Then there are all the level 50 contacts. That is over 100 contacts to knock out. Everyone will start seeing me (on Excelsior) a bit more doing high level group content. Badges! I still need over 400? badges!

I would even split the difference. I see no harm in a P2W power that teleports you to any contact you have open. Say… 10 mil. No way to abuse

A couple years ago a rando geek TP me under Peregrine And I was attacking stuff from below. They could not fight back. The person would not show me how they got there. I ran around for a half hour or so and we talked Look, the code and maps in CoH are full of holes. Just try base building sometime…. There are clever geeks in this game. I saw a group once TP Sally off her track. She was moved around the zone at the teams will then. (She is just a neck and head…)

You want Homecoming to tutor you in Mathematics?

A second Alpha would be epic. But really OP for normal content. Especially if you take two +damage Alphas. I normally take intuition on my Dark Corr, i would struggle to choose between more juicy damage and a much needed power to help with Dark’s Endurance issues…. First world problems 😆

Oh I take everything except the ST Hold and the abomination known as Black Hole. On my level 50 build i may have to drop one the T1 blast. Which makes me sad. But i want Leadership Tactics, which means Manuevers. And with Hasten and a Travel Power…. But I try to take them all. I like the hold. But no room, no options to stack in Dark^3 and therefore it is much less useful. I have been on this Dark^3 running all content since March. Every contact every mission Red/Blue/Gold. The powers work wonderfully together once you realize the timing and opportunities. Only against rare EBs do I start to get pressured solo. Tons of mobs? Debuff, Stun, Tar, Spirit Drain, Blackstar. Even when i cannot kill stuff fast I rarely have issues due to all the mitigation Dark^3 throws out.

Counter-Rant: I have walked into the harsh sun of the Suggestion Forum. And did not sparkle, but burst into spectacular flames. 🔥 First, I now ignore nearly all feedback in suggestions. Or, more accurately, take each subsequent post as a separate “suggestion” the poster was not brave enough to start their own thread with. There are some exceptions for really thoughtful and on point responses. Opinions vary though, yours will be different than mine. Second, the Forum Devs do a good job of trying to keep everything sorted. They read most everything. Do you have a genius game changing realization like, I don’t know, Arcana? Probably will get acted on. Do you have the ten thousandth suggestion about knockback? 🤔 Hmmm… Lastly, this is an excellent place to get feedback from the community on topics. We have some laughs. We poke over things. The Devs are doing the hard work. But we are the crew schlepping thru the content and finding things. The game code is huge, the Dev time is small, and without the audience the show would not mean as much. Enjoy the show.

…. Yes. And i answered it. Dark uses both to hit debuffs, stun effect, and fear effect to mitigate incoming damage. Adding to hit debuff to a stun aura increases the overall effectiveness of your to hit debuffs on opponents

Because it is not how the sets play. Dark dark dark has a PBAoE nuke. So the fear cone, ranged aoe stun, come in as you tar patch and spirit drain, NUKE. Now. Leave. Now, for AoE you have 4 cones until your nuke recharges. So joust out and hose the crowd. This is where the +range works best The non stop to hit debuff (starting with fear cone…) helps keep you from getting attacked. Absolute Amazement has great set bonuses for 5 pieces. The ToHit debuff proc meshes perfectly with Dark. You are not Fire Blasting. You need the stuns and to hit debuffs. You are choking the life out of your opponents. The debuff toggle works great against hard targets. When using that i slap it on right after fear cone, which is my lead attack unless sniping.

at level 44 i have two SO Accuracy in it. I have run it with Absolute Amazement 5 slotted at 50, on high rech/high acc/high range build. THese things all work great for dark. I have just been running through some Knives missions, and a bunch of other stuff. The Stun works, long enough. I just need to get in to do my Nuke after all.

this is extremely abusable. do you limit it on instance maps? yes, it is a QoL improvement. a huge one. is it necessary? does it make things more fun? or just easier? and, again, ripe for gaming abuse. have you seen the freaks and what they do?
