it is level 45+, the league leader should be set to +4/x8 to trigger the most value from the "hidden" "level less' spawns. it also helps if everyone is wearing some green.

It is only the league leader in the mapserver event that must be set to +4/x8. That is why you are confused the enemies look "level less" but they have a hidden level.

yes. yes it was. did nothing for my badge count. good riddance.

here is the "joke build" i mentioned. but i built it very seriously to address my perception of Sentinel's drawbacks. it is an Elec Blaster, that does more damage than a Sentinel (not nearly as much as my other Blasters, especially Fire) but is extremely survivable. due to built in defenses and get out of jail free powers. it does in fact use Scaling Damage Resistance... Blaster - Electrical Blast - Temporal Manipulation tank 4.0.mxd

I main a Dark Dark Corr. Which is a totally different animal. Force Field was one of THE great ones in the OG. Think Barriers in Incarnate content. But this services the TEAM more than the SELF. Almost all Dark secondary Corr is at least partially self serving or just enemy debuffs. Force Fields is a team support set. I have ran a Beam Blaster. I still have one built up and ran it a lot in Incarnate content. The pure range allows DPS to continue nonstop even with massive AoE and huge damage patches. I built for range. It is entirely ranged including the nuke. Of course, Corruptors get stronger as the enemy falls below 50% health. But the idea is the same. Stay back, keep shooting. Adding knockdown and immob thru sets (winter, over force, anyplace else?) can help to keep enemies “out there” and unable to do as much to you. If you did not want to be a “team buffer” Force Fields may not work for you. Also, after 50 they are not as necessary or useful due to incarnate powers like barrier. Likewise, if palinking from range was not your goal Beam may not suit you. UNLESS, like me, you are a slave to concept. Dark Dark Corr is not my “optimal” CoH/V choice. But it fits my concept so well I MUST run it as my main. And just get good on it. Accept what it can do, what it cannot, and get out there and be Corrupt!

Okay. Getting real here. 🥸. But seriously, on a Blaster this is probably NOT worth the slot. Even on a defense armor melee it is a questionable choice. DEFINITELY get the global + defense piece(s). But resistance building on a Blaster is straying far from the “win the fight by killing fast” and venturing into investment in “survive long enough to wear them down”. My two cents. I do have an Elec Elec Blaster built with extremely high ranged defense, good all around defense, and resistance (and some pool resist powers🤪). But it is just a joke build. My Fire Fire Fire Blaster is so much more effective and just built for DPS. Of course it has a great rez 😎

Welcome to the New World Order. We are taking vehicle orders now.

Radiation, it’s good for everyone! there, justified!

The market (in CoH) is a fairly well maintained non fluctuating place. Even at “buy it now” prices. A thousand ways to make Inf in game and an endless source of supplies to purchase at the tips of your fingertips… but, having fun is the most important thing. So, have fun!

It scales Damage Resistance.

Now you got me thinking. Tough to do, grats! I never use the base empowerment stations. But…. Mybdark dark Corr is always end hungry. Surely some of those buffs can help, or at least protect my blue bar from drains sometimes.

No badges and no need for 50s that way so me… es ist egal. (German for does not matter)

Do not hoard ANY salvage. Put it on the market. Buy it from the market. I have a base (artwork) that I rarely use and so have stored hundreds of rare salvage there. A pain to get to because there are no easy ways to bulk transfer salvage when i need it. My main base stores enhancers, with 1 inspiration storage and one salvage rack for dumping converters and other special salvage when i want to transfer between toons. Now that i think about it i am going to clear that base out in the next couple days and dump it all on the market. Taking my own advice….

I never overmath the CoH game. This despite some studies I have done through multi variable calculus. Which, for me, was extremely difficult. I enjoyed normal calculus and it’s simple beauty. Every toon and every player is different. I tend to run high accuracy builds with kismet+to hit and leadership accuracy or equivalent. So a small yellow might help me. But…. More than likely if you are screwed into needing accuracy your entire strategy in the fight has gone toilet mode. As a Dark Dark player, approaching a tough fight the first things i will do is debuff as much accuracy on my enemies as possible. I call this “making them fight uphill”. If they have done that to you…. Oof. In the end I agree with everything you have said. For me, it is by “feel” and common sense. The damn duals cannot be combined, so they “clog” your tray waiting for the “perfect” time to use them. Not using inspirations is like hording powers… so much that if you are not using them, or using them much less to “save” them, you might as well have picked a power you would use. Team inspiration are gold, in that you can use them as individual when needed (only carry them if you are willing to burn them) or they can prop up a team to keep pushing forward. regular inspirations are great in that they are flexible with the combination strategy, especially with a large tray. Creating a purple, wakie, or break free can really change things. but Duals? Neat idea that is garbage in a CoH/V actual fight/TF/SF/Trial. in my opinion…

i want that pritty design though lol

this would be decorative, useful, and provide no significant advantage to anyone. they are by far one of the nicest "doors" in CoH/V and fit nicely with most base themes.

You lost me at deep blue! But great luck and keep your eye on your booty!

I actually made this reply i late January. But the -rech is brutal. we must change it!

I am logging in now. If you are in shoot me a tell. If still stuck.

Yeah that marker does NOT indicate where the skulls are. It is a waypoint only

Monitor your stealth with combat attributes. It takes it a couple seconds to go into stealth if you attack, are attacked, or click a glowie. (Hide behind ANYTHING when clicking glowies…. The time to reset stealth is very similar to the time for fast snipe to go back to regular snipe out of combat.

Famous SG. Rock on!

Started on Brutes, then … slid into Blasters. Like yourself. And many many others. But i main Dark Dark for theme. Which is… meh on Blasters. However, it is exactly what i want on Corruptors. Okay, not exactly, but very close. I am not a buffer or a dedicated healer. But Dark^3 Corruption is more like a chess game. Rarely am I trying to heal a team out of the hole they dug. Corruptors are the ONLY “S” class Archetype in CoH/V. Every single Corruptor adds massive value at any level including Incarnate, 50+4, and starred TF/SF/Trials. So, when you are done smacking people in the nose with a nuke, worth a look a t the folks that steal the game while just mad dog staring at the enemy
