Snarky

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

Thank you. It does bring up an interesting question. Is Rune of Protection worth taking? During regular content I very rarely remember struggling with any type of mez on Invul. Once in a while a Succubus will be vexing but I normally quick craft a break free. During incarnate trials there are incarnate powers that provide mez protection for the league. I might take Rune on a Sentinel but not sure about on a brute

The topic at hand is a highly opinionated and perhaps pseudo science examination of what is arguably the most powerful AT to incarnate. Some might actually have real data as well but that service is not guaranteed in all areS personally I believe it is Brutes. I have always believed them to be the strongest all around AT in the game pre 50 and at 50. The AT does high damage and has high survivability due to armor and defenses. That alone puts it a step ahead of Tanks for example. Tanks have slightly better survivability and do significantly less damage. In a straight up comparison Brutes are better than Tanks. Before I start (another) war I am not trash talking tanks. They can do things Brutes cannot. If I was a Blaster and had a choice for a two person team partner I would choose the Tank over the Brute. All other things being equal same armor same player the Tank would be more beneficial to work with But the discussion is not about who the Blaster would pick. It is about what AT makes the strongest Incarnate. And that might be Tank! I believe Brutes would be better but if Incarnate powers do enough damage to tighten tanks closer to Brutes then tanks might be the stronger incarnate so. What do you guys think?
