It is not as good as Sudden Acceleration Knockback to Knockdown. It just does not work as well. If you are 6 slotting this set and really love those bonuses (whyyyyyy???) then I guess do it. I softcap Ranged defense on squishies all the time without the need to use this set.

I am starting to run a dark/dark Corruptor more and more. I like it, but I play it as a debuffer/blaster. I forget and/or am crappy at being effective with team heal and rez ally

Every Tank attack. ALL of them.

Grrrrrrr

I played it. It looks atrocious. So I made a design that used the way it looked and built around that. A 'Mage' in melee. Big hand motions (Tai Chi derived I believe) followed by magically appearing force. How does it play? unsynergistic hot garbage with a stupid mechanic. But hey, if Tai Chi is your bag enjoy.

i play Brutes. Tanks did need something. But huge improved AoE? Look, I understood the great Brute Fury nerf. I accepted it. I did not feel cheated. But the generous AoE given to Tanks and a crap popsickle handed to Brutes? F that. I am still pissed.

Last thought. DO NOT OVERTHINK IT!!! DPS per second. every second you try to make it better is effectively a self imposed longer activation time. pick a target you think is good, drop the hammer, move on.

I have always run a lot of dark melee. One of its major attacks is Shadow Maul, a melee cone. This is the regular version of sands of mu p2w power. This is a powerful but hard to use ability. Generally you want to hit a mob dead center of a group that way the cone spreads out. You are basically aiming a shotgun. Aim for center mass and hope for the best

Has it really come to this? Lawn maintenance?

On Excelsior I see pretty regular ads for segmented supers or some such. Insects. The whole thing just bugs me. I play with Cosmic Council. There is a SG Costume. There is probably SG lore. I run a vamp so I just do what I want. There are top notch speed runners, builders, farmers in the group. There is a weekly Master Incarnate Trial(s) on Saturday. Starting with Master of Magisterium Really Hard Way. (They always get it, 97% on the first try) Cosmic Council is a large organized SG. We have a lot of quality players and a schedule of 1-2 events almost every day. Plus a lot of casual play and discussions on Discord: https://discord.gg/DVksJ4N read the Rules and info, if you are interested, then post in Gateway (under public channels) that you agree to the rules and who you want to bring on board. You will usually get a response in a few hours tops. The leadership is most active 6-9 Eastern time. Good luck!

4 points of Knockback protection works against 90% of KB attacks. 7-11 points gets you 95% 12 points gets you 99% These are made up statistical percentages based on how I feel. Don't ask how I feel about people that challenge the findings....

Willpower. The armor of the energizer bunny

I have played Redside soooooo many times. About once a year I take a toon and do every contact every mission Redside. I played Redside when you could not get a travel power until 14, but I played Brutes and sometimes did not get one until 30+ I have literally walked those streets

I never drink…..wine I could navigate all the built ip neighborhoods redside walking except Grandville (possible if i knew the elevator system but I never learned it since I take fly. Redside. Bestside. The wilderness areas not so much. All trees look the same

This game will always live in my….cold..dead…heart nvm. Carry on

So many giant fights in this thread are based on this type of thing. If only Markspickle Sanddoom still had blue gloves we would get a lot of players. If only people were not allowed to repeat game things I dont agree with we would have server overload of signups. If only people stopped to think about cause and effect....oh. nvm. right.

I think 15-20 shines Redside. You are finally able to traipse around Cap feeling like a real villain. Sure, there are a lot of forces in the world that outnumber you and are tougher than you. But you are a SUPER Villain at this point. Given time they will all be destroyed.

I seriously hate to interrupt the crap slinging monkey fight over....what the heck are you people slinging feces about again? Oh nevermind. LOOK It's an idea to recruit players! So....today I happened to be at Dark Horse Comics warehouse. I mentioned to a young woman there that there was a super hero game that you could create almost any super in.... She was interested. I told her about CoH Homecoming. Go forth and educate the geeks! And, um, if you are not going to stop throwing fecal matter at one another at least start a thread dedicated to ...whatever you are arguing about. This topic is important, and that ain't helping.

making SOs.....free? damned fine idea. I played for a year using DOs and trying to keep SOs slotted. They work great. would be a serious boon for new players

no. goldside is a roller coaster starting at level 0 There is no alternate way in. I recently levelled a completionist "do every story arc from every contact" So I changed alignments a lot and stopped XP. At level 25 you can open Ouroboros. In Ouro is ALL Goldside content. Every story arc. There is a badge for it. That is how you do Goldside as an outsider.

i think that in this particular case the end...might be the beginning?......

But did Amber Heard really crap in Johnny Depp's bed. Would that be a 'flavorful tidbit?" This is important, Pirates are a big part of Redside and the potential crapper is in DC Super stuff!

Nope. You are doing it way wrong. These long intricate point by point responses will be useless (and mostly unread by everyone). The person you are trying to dialogue with will definitely take nothing useful away. You know what people remember about conversations the next day? How you make them feel. No data. Very rare person that remembers data. Basically, needs more salt. (Snarky And Laughable Taunt)
