Snarky

Longtime Brute first time caller. Heh no really though I head some whispers about changes to the Tank AT. Did not see anything on these boards that was easy to find anyways. Are there going to be significant changes to Tanks? Honestly I have always thought Tanks were short sheeted a bit for the amount of extra protection they get compared to the damage nerf they take for it. Just my opinion. Would be nice if the Devs found a different mechanic to compensate for that. Granted they are insanely good at what they do. Just not that much better than Brutes who were outdamaging Scrappers before Fury nerf bat hit

I play almost exclusively Brutes. Many without taunt. Most teams consider me the tank if there is not a better one around. It is not my nature. If there is a solid team with a tanker or Brute volunteer I will zip off to solo the largest mob I can find if a team is unsure of content or not steamrollling I will drop into the traditional redside version of a tank. Get the reveal power from P2W vendor. Almost all CoX maps are the same or put together like legos with standard parts. Knowing where the team should be going is very good do not be married to the concept of leading the team. Unless you are the most experienced player and the captain it is not your job. Go with the team and hold agro to quote the old boards. “First to Fight. First to Fall. Never Fall”. That is tanking in the Cities. GL

Theft of Essence chance for + End in your armor Heal power will change Dark Armor. With a decent number of enemies hit. You will refill your End as well as getting fully healed. GL

I think I know if one. Just not sure if it is an official ‘bug’. Not sure if finding an oddity counts as a bug. It is definitely something that is not working as it should

Is this still awarded and if so under what conditions. Yes of course I want it.

I am guessing someone misspelled something on the back end so you have to guess what the typo is lol

I tried everything. Nothing worked. Upgraded to tier 4 Judgement. Keybind works perfect. Meh

Thanks. Really thought you had to get them while there. I will still get every badge I can before leaving Praetorian. Not in any hurry to 50. I have one incarnate already I am working to max out. This is my relaxed badger

Thanks. I assume the one that cannot be missed is the praetorian alignment 5 badge an d reversal badge?

Good to know. Thank you. I avoid MSR except for badges. No help for it I see

I have started my first Badger. For better or worse have chosen Dark/Dark Brute. I loaded into tutorial and received the Avid Reader badge. I did all the locations and plaques in Nova and the Protest Badge i have never tried for every badge before. What badges do I HAVE to do in Praetoria before I leave and how do I go about it? thanks for the help

Thanks. I have tried the dragging and rechecked spelling errors. I am guessing it is the underscores. I started wondering about that last night actually as I was keybinding a new alt in Praetorian and was like why are there underscores in the first part of the pow exec name but not the rest. Will try this tonight. It is the judgement t3 might partial radial or something. Will be t4 it asap as this is my main and I have weeks of grinding to ULTIMATE power lol

All great info thanks. I love the City community and this old game lol. My other game is WoW. Which I mostly solo on. For obvious reasons. Will take the great advice into consideration as I shop

I am getting a new tower because I can. Do not want to overspend but want to make sure I can crank every graphic setting and get through a Ritki raid with no lag. I am just like that i am looking at something like cyberpower pc gamer extreme vr. Is there any hardware floors I should make sure I get? I am a truck driver not a computer builder. Thanks

I cannot get the higher level judgement to keybind. Game does not recommend power name. It worked fine with the first tier Mighty Judgement. Any help would be great. Thanks

I am very new to keybinds but I am doing them moderately successfully my my current problem is this. I tried to keybind my upgraded incarnate judgement and the game tells me it does not recognize the power. It recognized the Might Judgement power but does not recognize Mighty Partial Radial Judgement any help would be great thanks

How do you turn a crafted I/O set enhancer into one that scales with you?

Dark Armor is better on a Brute then a scrapper or tank in my opinion. Fury feeds the AoE and the high health works well with DA mechanics. Tankers lose the damage as well as many of the Dark Armor powers do not work well with holding agro. As a brute DA you pull as much agro as you want and are almost hiding until you are ready to eat more.

I am no expert but I have run some Dark Armor. Dark Armor is of course slightly stronger in a Brute. The higher health gives the big heal more power the danger with Dark Armor is bottoming out the endurance. That is why it is generally paired with Dark Melee or Elec Melee for endurance recovery and management

Thanks Hyperstrike. I get lost on really high end builds and you are a name I recognize from way back on live as a gnarly builder. This varies a lot from what I normally do with reactive armors and attacks slotted chase 45 s/l and then throw on w/e. I will go with this build as written rather than try to tweak something I am not skilled at. Appreciate the help. Have a great time in the cities

Thanks! This build will be in my main Snarky on Everlasting

After a couple month pause for WoW I am back. I am writing a short story based on a Rogue from the Rogue Isles and needed to run the character to get into the mood The build is SS/Invul. I am looking for just a super tough build very tanky. I have stripped all all my sets from my characters and have all the high end procs for res def heal red etc. LOTGs Brutes Fury Preventative Med and about 3-4 other high end sets. Can get more. I have about 20 mil in bank and generate nearly 100 merits a day doing low end TFs regularly. So please feel free to put anything on the build any help would be great. I still can’t get mids to work lol. I am more grinder than builder. At level 40 now will 50 this weekend and start incarnate have fun fun in the cities

This thread got me thinking about how much I wanted Blasters for villains. No healing no buffing just blasting. So I just made a Dark/Dark blaster for Rogue work. Not my favorite blaster but it will be a concept project for being a villain. Thanks for the inspiration. I will probably learn more about blapping too

Dark Dark Brute is very strong. There are some qualifiers. This build only gets solid in the mid 30s and needs at least a few I/Os to run smooth. A few good sets as well make it very strong

So I have run maybe a dozen Sentinels through teens to low 30s. When I grind alts like I been doing I tend to be very regular about how I do it 4-7 DFB 1-4 DiB maybe banks. On Sentinels that is not often. Some random teaming and a very regular Posi 1 Posi 2 Synapse etc. i am a daily grinder in CoX but not a numbers scientist like Arcana or Hyperstrike. I play and go by feel. My feelings tell me that the mez protection from the armors Sentinels get is not as strong as scrappers or brutes. Does anyone know for sure? And if so are there standard fixes most use like procs or tune of protection or... thanks. I really like Sentinels for when I step away from Bruting for a day or so
