Snarky

whoever coded those NPCs.... well, at least they have a job at Boeing doing quality control now.

sigh, no one runs them anymore. And your best Corr are debuffers. I look around on my fire blaster and with luck find a Brute that will take agro some of the time. Most of the time they cannot find the objectives. So, i stealth in, lead with a Nuke, kill or be killed, Rise of the Pheonix and move on.

+4/X8 solo enemies buffed no inspirations. Enjoy yourself!

Okay. I thought about it. I could make a floating skull that was a Fortunata. at a 100o years old, as a skull, gender sort of ceases to matter. So, I open up MiDs and looked at Fortunata. And, without spending 40 hours 50ing and running this thing it looks to suffer the same issues as Crab. In effect, I could make my genderless skull a Mind/Psi Dom and run circles around the Fortunata. Because VEATs and HEATs are shot in the foot from the starting line.

I put this massively frankenslotted build together to push the +range to it's max. This (to me) gives fluidity in combat and the ability to use strategy to survive rather than standing close to the hurt and using def/res/heal to deal with the issue. It also pushes the 4 cones out to absurdity, including the all important Fear cone. Recharge was a secondary goal. Corr Dark Dark all range 1.01.mbd

It is easy to be seduced by something in MiDs only to play it in game and think WTF? and vice versa. Some things that like trash in MiDs actually play great. It can be a fun house mirror. I was just thinking as I look at ways to rebuild the Dark Dark Corr I should see if Res or +Health are options I could lean into. My Dark Dark Brute lives by the motto "if you cannot kill me with your best shot i will be at full health for your second." Dark Dark Corr has two very powerful heals, so if not faceplanted likewise can be at full health very quickly.

Yes. And, by definition you are ralking every AV in the game. Some of them… oof. It is a rock paper scissors game. At a certain point you will rnd up in the tough end of that triangle. And….. just for fun, some TF/SF have multiple AVs. At least two trials have complex mechanics teams struggle to accomplish. Although these may scale down for solo, the AV issue looms huge.

This. We should do this. I get why they are there. Just finished a X TF after Y minutes and need to go to the B room. Drop ouro, zone and get out of the game rig. And your toon…standing at the ouro entrance. As you Zone in have a temp power KB to self 45 mag. 1 min delay, cancels when you move 20 feet. Otherwise…have a nice flight, we will see you in the pool. Bonus points for having them land with random innertube….

You are giving me ideas. I am rebuilding my Dark Dark Corr as one of my mains. Maybe I should lean into res and +heath… He has two huge heals….

Hmmm. Solo…. To solo the game on standard settings +1/x1 with Default Bosses solo but no AV solo you can take just about anything. And take what you enjoy. If you are comfortable I would recommend something with AoE. There is a lot of kill-alls in the game. Then you casually drop “solo AVs”. Okay, now that is an entirely different topic. If you believe what I said above then really throw out the “do everything in the game” (because anything can) and retitle “what can solo AVs”. Because I am not sure everything can. Maybe this is just me but I am thinking you have more really big things you want the toon to be able to do buried in “as much of the content as possible” that maybe you should specifically let us know what you want this thing to do….

I did the crab thing. 50d it and (to me) it looks ill suited for CoH content. Maybe in a team of Crabs it would be different, but it is very structured to be mediocrity in a hard shell. Probably politically incorrect of me but I think of widows as female. They are all female in the game. I never run female toons. So, this week I bow out of the challenge. Good luck to all the new widows!

I can only guess. The two roadblocks that would be easy to see are 1) time/organization commitment to do it 2) significant negative blowback from the last run at it.

heh. i plan to announce it way before the last mission, like after first, then again on the next to last mission, then as we enter, with a goal of 50-75% following me... wish me luck

Yeah. Let us talk Regen…

Most of us set the timer so everyone knows how we are flowing. Half the gamers are OCD and the other half are WTF

Dark. Dark melee pairs exceptionally well with Fire armor

It would not differ. My whole point, which I evidently was not good at communicating, was that it would be farmed like everything else.

I thought if the attached to target unalived it dropped to the ground and was still available for party time 💥

NO. Because it would immediately start the “gaming” of parameters and creation of a new type of farm. That is not even debatable. I mean, you can debate it. Or you can look at every single bit of electronic gaming ever done. It WILL be farmed. I would like to see exceptional AE writers given leeway to write longer arcs that are available through regular contacts outside AE. But no special rewards. Standard missions, a story arc, the standard merit reward at the end. More or less the same as all the old contacts. Except newer, fresher, and perhaps with more depth and ties to lore.

Lol, since i have yet to implement my proposed strategy of cleaning you cannot be talking about me. Also, i play with a giant wall mounted TV as a monitor. Above my desk. So I always have a map open and tend to have situational awareness. Common sense, maybe not. But I am watching where my teammates are.

you went resist heavy. i softcapped ranged defense, because... Corruptor (Ice Blast - Dark Miasma) 2024 v2.01.mbd
