Snarky

ding ding ding. thanks. i have it in stealth....which i did not have on first thing in the morning (brute) i already botched making coffee this morning. fill coffee maker with purified water. not quite enough. refill purifier. except i just sleepily poured in coffee maker on return from sink. sigh. overflow. now this. that does answer whether i should leave stealth on though. thanks.

My Kismet Accuracy is not being displayed by combat attributes in game. Level 29, have Shivan DiB 9% bonus, but the Kismet does not show. Any info?

do you have to be 50 for this to show. level 29, have done all goldside arcs through ouro. not appearing

Lol. I literally have zero proc builds. I slot procs when they occur naturally in set bonuses and such. So yes, according to the infinite absurdity of the universe this would cause the nerfing of procs

Dark Consumption has two uses in a late game build I have found. 1) an extremely powerful “o crap this mechanic has screwed my blue bar” fix, and 2) a great ghetto PBAoE damage, especially with a knockdown proc in it. Crowd control? Works like a charm

Rad Armor/Energy Melee would be my choice if I was walking into the game fresh right now. Knowing all i know and not locked into concepts and projects with deep history Rad Armor is very strong and very effective. I have not played it but the people I respect most point straight to it when asked what is the best armor. Energy Melee, since the change, is no doubt the smoothest and most effective set that I see. I have played it to 50. It rocks. The combo would be mad strong and I could make some robot characters with a great look and theme so easy. personally i am on Dark/Dark and Dark/Invul Brutes right now. Vampire storyline. Both those combos are insanely strong and I have them 50d on Tanks as well with the sets flipped. Dark/Dark instead of Dark/Dark. Invul/Dark Tank with a high recharge build is a juggernaut that, in my opinion, is less killable than a Granite Tank Damned light on AoE but tanky as can be and very strong against hard targets. The -to hit and heals/end recovery in Dark Melee along with (in my opinion) the best melee build up in the game pairs so well with Invul that i cannot resist going back to it.

I am currently soloing the game (every contact red/blue/gold) on a dark/invul Brute. I have two nearly identical builds slotted at 29. The one difference (and sole reason for two builds) is one has Stealth and the other has Taunt. Stealth, with Taunt aura off, allows me to quickly finish most solo missions. When I jump into a Task Force for badges or companionship I rotate in Taunt. I never used to take Taunt on Brutes but I am getting lazier as I get older and Blasters are getting crazier. Taunt lets me control a lot of the action fast in team play. But with no competition soloing PvE there is very little reason to throw a power pick at it. I can pull with P2W Blackwand solo.

I am only 50ing rarely now. But i play a lot. So i just email the rare new 50 a few hundred emps. Faster than shards by a little bit

As with everything in life, unlife, and gaming… it depends. If you will not use it the answer is obvious. For you. While I know many hardcore gamers who want to do the hardest content in the most extreme way….. I also am quite familiar with PUG groups who just want to bumble through on easy mode. We have a lot of both on the CoH fan base personally I am more of a bumbler. Give me more powers (that I grind for) and then let me destroy the city. Good times. If you want to save the city using two sticks and a rubber band have fun Mcgyver 🤪 But I know you have found things that you enjoy, whether it be fine tuning a market strategy or completing a master run with an SO toon. I believe the expanded options (and badges/rewards) are a great step forward in a positive direction for the city now, with all these Heroes so busy there surely must be a way to get control of the Hospital blood supply chain…

they moved one of the old ones...where to?

i can not get that whole process figured out. does anyone hace locations

anybody got coordinates....vague descriptions...screenshots....?

A Dark/Dark is hard to level. Once 50’d there are about 12 strategies (probably more) for solving all endurance issues. The one you mentioned is very good. At mid levels. Because Dark Regen is not an early power. I prefer to slot for rech/acc and have Dark Consumption up as needed. As an O crap i get the pay two whine endurance booster (and health booster and phase shift. Love me some options) at 50 you have Alphas and Destiny’s and team buffs that mostly resolve running issues and your strategies for constant end mgt become backups for when mobs/mechanics are hitting tour blue bar hard have fun. But be Dark. Very Dark

someone gave dobbie a sock!?!

has nothing to do with my statement. also, really crappy sentence structure. my statement. you are wrong. specifically, you are wrong because most times it is not the leaders fault most times it is a player who knows what they should be doing and fails. sometimes it is this old game code glitching. sometimes it is the leaders fault. but that is not what you stated. i disagree with your statement. because you are wrong.

So. First. You are wrong i do not say this because i am a leader. I am not. I hate leading i am saying this because you are wrong maybe the leader could spend more time organizing. However i am lucky enough to be part of a very organized group that explains things meticulously. Things still go wrong. Many times things go correctly. Good organization helps with that. fundamentally , and i cannot stress this enough, you are very wrong

I would suggest invulnerable armor. Coupled with fighting set it is incredible at low level content. A lot of the pre 25 damage is smash lethal. You will have resistance to end deain. I do recommend a Panacea and a Miracle i. Health and a Perf shift proc and a perf shift end mod. All tanks are hungry hungry after all

Currently soloing every contact in the game on ine toon. A brute at that. Bothways. Uphill in the snow

Sure. They will fix Sentinels. And they will fix Rage crash on Super Strength (one of the most iconic powers in Superheroes yet here representing only Superadine addicted anger management candidates) in the same issue now go ahead. Hold your breath. ( you will get neat new powers if you can hold it long enough!)

You do not have defense debuff. Hint hint. Okay, let me spell this out. Do not chase defense. Make a strong build. Focus on getting your health up. You are almost a regen build. It does not have to be your primary goal but it should influence your set choices quite a bit. Get your resists up to a nice level. Any pressure you can take off your heal machine is gold. This might include magic pool temp armor power. A nice resist buff during hard fights. Might stagger this with Willpower’s temp T9 buff so you almost always have one or the other running in hard fights. Neither can be hastened

I do not build proc builds. But the things to look at would be recharge for one. How often a power is up will affect how often it procs. Again, I do not build to proc so I do not know the peculiarities and subtleties of the topic. another obvious thing to look at is what powersets can you slot into the power. Certain powers will take more sets with procs than others Finally I am sure there is the matter of how many mobs you can hit with the power. The more you hit the more you proc so, optimizing procs per minute, choosing a build that can slot many procs, and choosing a build that can hit a lot of mobs with the procs. Basically volume. Volume makes the proc into a proc monster

One of the Freaks in the Vahz villain arc (the new one from Buzzsaw) has a tech hover platform instead of legs. I would give my legs for that as an option!

Those with the most loud angry voices win. But i will continue to lob piercing snarky comments about it for the next twenty years

Viva la Resistance!!!

My problem is the character is a homage to The Evil Midnight Bomber what Bombs at Midnight from The Tick. So ….. I am pretty married to toebombing and devices lol
