Snarky

i am done with melee. i would take the Stalker over the Scrapper personally. But... I have never run Ninja secondary... (never fit my themes) Does Shinobi offer "true" stealth?

It is highly likely a group I run with (Justice SuperTeamers - Excelsior) will be starting a new theme team. Well, they will definitely be starting one, and it is likely the theme is "stealth." Meaning every member must have "real" stealth in Primary/Secondary. now, of late, i have become quite addicted to Blasters. but... yeah. So my Archetype choices are Stalker, Controller or Dominator (Illusion primary has full stealth) or Arachnos widow. (which has been ruled acceptable). Of these choices I am leaning towards Ill/Psi/Psi Dom (tentative build posted in Dom section...), Fortunata, Bane, or Dark/Dark Stalker. I am kind of "done" with melee. (i have a 50 dark dark Stalker. It was good. just...good.) Which of these choices will do the "best" DPS? The teams generally do not have issues surviving, so those considerations are secondary. I just want to be able to knock stuff down (lots of stuff) as we tend to run 4/8 whenever we can.

Warum? um.... Why?

candidate for a themed team. went for rech. will always be playing on a team (everyone has to have full invis, hence ill dom...) survival and teamwork wont be an issue...usually lol Dominator Ill Psi v1.01.mbd

i will concede the point. i hate 801 myself, and am uninterested in the topic except as a place to scrawl my usual graffiti. cheers and happy turkey slaughter day. (now there is an AE map we need....)

801 is (as are all) a very specific type of mission. but it has the sole focus of testing EVERYTHING. think a chess program turned to max. just looking for weak spots

isnt that the p2w start vendor "Reveal"?

a question i struggle with nightly

hmmm Corruptors are (each and every one) an S class toon. boilerplate: In gaming, "S Class" typically refers to the highest ranking or tier, often signifying "Super" or "Special," meaning it represents the absolute best performance or character within a game, usually seen in tier lists where "S" is considered superior to all other classifications like A, B, C, etc. Ice is popularly considered in the top tier (yes, S again) of blast sets for ST damage. Cold Domination is one of the very finest debuff sets in the game. While i laud your enthusiasm (and dedication) your conclusions are not borne out by the facts (that you have presented) now, there are a lot of people on weird powerset Defenders who solo incredible stuff. but your conclusion "This anecdotal evidence implies any other Archetype and powerset combination could also do so under the same constraints." is not justified. just because you can take an S class archetype with an incredible blast set and phenomenal debuff set and do all this does not mean young bobby can jump on a Grav/empath Controller and have the same success. Although if we could talk Diantane to try it there would be years of great posts generated. Maybe we can get Yomo to float him the infamy to build it if he will just agree to run it in this epic grandest of tilting at windmills!

Manic depression is a bitch. Well, not for you. But for those around you?

you have violated the "rule of 5s" with LOTG 5 max of any type of % bonus. although lotg is counted sep from other 7.5s

i am not great at Sentinels. here is a good resource for Rad. No one reviewed Regen. I am not good at Regen but I would build it "balls to the wall" with decent defenses, as much +health as was easily grabbable, and F resistance and the horse it rode over on. Oh, and take your Rez. To me, that would mean Winter sets, as they have very good all around defenses. and Thrundertrike if you can rebuild to get 45% softcap.

looking at your build, you have "Rest" clicked on. at bottom. shut it off it kills you. in game andin mids

The sets with Defenses (may...depending on your primary/secondary) be more useful if Defense helps get to a goal. Sentinels do a different job than most using Blast sets. With their secondary armor, inherent to weaken targets, and shorter range/less AoE they are definitely in a different spot than most ATs using ranged ST.

I sure hope someone uses a "Bush Barbie" theme!

I came into the game on live late. 2? Years in. I bought the “Good vs Evil” edition at a local game store and started a villain on Liberty. Fing ghost town lol. And yet…. Even then you could find an “old timer” dying to tell you stories of Tankers herding all of Perez Park in a parade or herding countless mobs to a dumpster where a Blaster would melt the trash. And I am sure you can still find these wizened creatures. as stated above the OG devs quickly realized the game was unbalanced without agro caps and hit caps. The random? Number they selected has now become the basis for balancing mob placement in every mission TF SF and Trial created since then. What you are asking is like requesting if driving through parks could be optional. The city is just not designed for it.

in my opinion ranged ST sets are.... not enough. the choices for a truly fine build rapidly evaporate. of course you use ARMAGEDDON. with so other few good choices.... yeah If you are building for ranged defense. THUNDERSTRIKE... But I have went years on ranged defense Blasters. Let me tell you.... Killing everything in a room is way better than trying to have defense. You want big hard hitting AoEs, with enough CC to give you time to keep cycling more AoE DPS. GLADIATORS JAVELIN. A nice set. That offers little for me in set bonuses. I think ONCE have I found a way to get two +3 PvP set knockback protections on that I actually wanted. Saving me from throwing KB prot in fly, generally getting Winters Gift then. BUT it just does not happen. The PvP sets dont "sit well" in Blaster builds. They offer very good set bonuses that synergize with absolutely nothing. WINTERS BITE Lets just start with the PROC, which is near useless. -speed?-recharge? if you are ST shotting something, it needs to die. fast. Anything that stays up long (AV/GM) will shrug off the stupid effect. The set bonuses synergize well if you are building all around high defenses. On...a Blaster? See notes on Thunderstrike. DEVASTATION Another decent set with bonuses that dont synergize well and a useless PROC DECIMATION. Tops out at 40, but has a build up and a global recharge. situationally useful. OVERWHELMING FORCE A pretty good set. But will almost always be prioritized to an AoE with KB, netting good set bonuses and getting a CC knockdown. That leaves your Archetype Enhancers, which one set might go in one ST blast and make sense, but generally that is not answering the main question, just putting it off.

The Earth is flat. The moon landing was faked. Oh, and this used to be an incredibly popular game but is now dead.

Neck

I too am working a lot. But CoH is my only game. Not that i play much now. But i do game twice a week with Justice Superteamers on Excelsior and that is awesome time. I wish I could blame villains but i think someone else is responsible.

Congratulations

The policy has been in place. For YEARS. If you move into a house, and there are signs posted that the city does not allow street parking on Thursday. (With a addendum, not currently enforced). Then two years later the city notifies you it will now enforce the policy. You were notified. You just do not like the fact because your wheelless 1980 cadillac has been sitting outside your house on the street. it has been the policy for 3? Or 4? Years. Just not enforced. But we all knew the day was coming. Now it is Thursday. Move the heap in front if your house. Here us an idea. Put wheels on the F-ing thing and naybe wash it once in a while.

Or dont try it.
