Snarky

I just want to start Redside in the Zig again, breakout and get the Arachnos Flyer ride to Fort Darwin. That is the epic start to great storylines lol. Sure, it doesnt fit for every concept. But it works well for a great number. And it always felt right.

THe Jackson Pollock is the random one. The other is computer generated. Easy to spot.

You seem very sure of yourself. Which I appreciate. I am going to say you are correct. For me, ....no lol. Maybe I am lazy but I just levelled a Dark/Dark through every contact, including all possible side missions Redside. Now at 47. I had a great time. I think if I had not had Dark Melee I would have literally been sucking wind. Yes, I used every tool at my disposal. Theft of essence is nice, it is not that impressive. It helps. Dark Consumption is what brings home the bacon. For me.

I have a ton of accuracy in my build. The rolling constant effect of Cloak of Fear and Oppressive Gloom, in combination with being mostly stealthed 100% time (Cloak of Darkness) provides the mitigation needed when I jump in for endless alphas. This build does not have Defense Debuff Resistance, and honestly not a high amount of built up defense. Instead it depends on Fear, Stun, to-hit Debuffs, and Stealth. This layered mitigation, (fueled by a ton of accuracy) is extremely effective. I need to talk to a good builder about how much of Energy Mastery and Recharge I need though. My build goals have not changed, but I do want to tighten up the build. I suspect I can slightly back off global recharge, but prob not be able to drop Energy Mastery. But maybe. Touch of Fear is meh. It stacks nicely with cloak of fear on ST. I will be using it in the build. On high recharge this build is a PBAoE monster. Not only do I have the stun, fear, and damage auras, I have Shadow maul and Touch of fear doing okay AoE. AND I have Soul Drain, Dark Consumption and Dark regeneration cycling all the time. It is a ghetto AoE chain, but it works. And it works well.

Honestly love the new content you guys added. I would love to see more incarnate content. I think if we have a long term goal it might focus a bit on developing the endless possibilities at Incarnate storylines and the end game experience. The more of that the healthier I believe we will be. If you folks can write it with the same quality you put into Buzzsaw's new arc it will blow the doors off the old devs stuff

Honestly there is no way to recreate it on this server. I got here after CoV but before inherent fitness. And there is the rub isnt it? Because as a lover of lowbie Brutes for over a year I juggled and struggled to keep my End bar filled lol

lol my current build for my main is a Dark/Dark PBAoE passive nightmare walking. I use focused accuracy and sets that give accuracy bonuses. +11% to hit, +68% Accuracy. I always assume RNG is out to kill me. Why I avoid Def sets. I think that is why I like Dark as well, Res heavy and debuff opponents to-hit, as well as fear and confuse effects. F Def, go offense!

You better make sure you launder that money!

This is my incarnate version on the alt that inspired the project. I will revise this build to tighten it up and add touch of fear.

i defer to your obvious knowledge. also, you confirmed a sneaking suspicion i had with your last point. i read from another post that the Korean business culture would frown on a thing being successful after you tossed it away. That struck a chord of truth i think.

NO on insta 50s. yes. I yelled. My method to 50: 4-6 DFBs, 4 DiB, Posi 1, 2, Synapse, etc TF TF Team, TF, Team. Preferring TF. THis allows me a couple things. 1) Define character. Picking powers, rethinking concept as I am in the drivers seat. If it is a new power choice/build then I get to see how it performs. 2) Generate merits, which I love. If you insta 50s then content that is not incarnate/weekly TF/50 content will be on a death spiral of "only the inner cabal" plays that. Plus, the game (quite successful despite what some corporate wonks think) was designed for the run to 50. The zones, story arcs, enemy groups. all designed to test characters as their powers level up. So, insta 50ing would flush that away as useless. I never thought AE was the death knell of CoX. I have heard it a lot. Never even considered it might be true. Anyone who grinds in there hardcore isnt going nowhere. I do believe insta 50ing would be the death knell of CoX.

also, Coronavirus. any non essential legal work is now moving at breakneck 2020 speed of 1 mph. check out the news. courts are screwed, meetings are not happening, necessary stuff only. unless people are throwing tons of weight (money) around. no one is doing that in this negotiation.

Dark Armor is an End Hog. Dark Melee has an End Recovery power that feeds it. Dark Melee pairs well with other sets due to the added sm heal and big end recovery. It has meh damage and is a like it or hate it set. Dark Armor pretty much needs to be paired with a attack set that has an End recovery power or you will have a rough time. SS is solid as ever. Some of my favorite pairing are SS/Inv, Dark,/Invul, and Dark Dark

i rehash all my stuff again and again. that is why i love CoX. i have seen artists that paint a hundred oli paintings of bottles. i'm like, i tried it once. hated it. to them each painting is a progression and expression for me each new dark/dark brute, ss/invul brute, ss/will brute, energy/grav dom energy/energy blaster is a chance to work on a concept, a costume, a story. and i love it each time. other games do not give me the customization options that allow me to work deep into my vision. i play an orc in their vision. my current character just made a huge breakthrough in blending three different concepts better than i have ever done before. huzzah.

i heard the pvp zones did not count. i have hung out in GV. at 40. taking a break for a leg workout. why did i buy a squat rack again lol?

Looking for help on these critters. I am so close to finishing my pre-50 solo redside project. But I need 50 Toxic Tarantulas to open Number 204 contact in GV. Someone suggested I farm MLTF 1st mission, but that is 45+ and i have to stay 44- for just a while longer. I have found a couple spawn points in GV. I have 7. After....a seemingly long bit or trouble. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

I have been soloing redside every story arc on a dark/dark. I have also ran one fully incarnated. (if you want to see this build in action I can show you in any AE +4/x8) Excelsior, @Snarky. Just ask. I built for recharge more. Although this is my incarnate old build. I will be tweaking it for the one I am doing storylines on. Same build goals, just going to tighten up the slack. The concept behind a high recharge dark/dark is that it brings up Soul Drain, Dark Regeneration, and Dark Consumption amazingly fast. Def > Res > Heal. But Dark Regen is one of the best heals in the game. Having it on a 6 second cycle is insanely powerful. Also, Dark/Dark doesn't have the greatest AoE. Wait. Wait a minute! Everything I just mentioned are AoE, right? A high recharge Dark/Dark uses its buffs as a ghetto AoE chain! That is why it farms well. Not the fastest, but this beast can run incarnate trials and step into ANY farm and do well. Basically, I looked at Dark/Dark and said "I want it all, and more of it please" then i built for that. The army of toggles actually does a tremendous amount of work. Cloak of Fear and Oppressive gloom provide enough damage mitigation for another Dark Regen to pop up 99.9% time. Cloak of Darkness will let you waltz past anything not on your to-do list, just stay 8-10 feet away. Except f-ing rikti drones. Anyways, here is the current incarnation. My story toon has hit GV and will be a slightly different variation of this build, adding Touch of Fear and I am using Sorcery fly for him because he is doing storylines. semi stealth plus flight/teleport rocks for that. CoT caves I mostly just port thru passageways to glowies. On a Brute lol.

I am on a pretty serious non-alt streak. I have run one character (mostly) since late Oct. I did stop to quickly 50 an alt, and have made 1-2 and zoned in then left. I have re-configured this main's costume a dozen times and recently rewrote the whole backstory. Does that count?

because this needed to be re-posted

The Brute is about the strongest solo player, especially for a new player who is learning the city, the enemy tactics, and the content strategy. I am probably prejudiced, I play Brutes as my mains. But I do it because it is so enjoyable. Whatever you choose GL and welcome.

can we customize them? because if i could make a crew with silly matching outfits like the crews from batman, mystery men, or venture brothers i would run them in a heartbeat. right now the only mastermind i can conceive of using them is a caricature of the mascot from "The General" insurance co
