JJDrakken

-sighs- BS, BA, WM are all practically same Battle Axe got upgrade with Axe Cyclone that sucks people in then does dmg. They all have "ranged" attack. If you wanna call 7ft a ranged attack. BA: Pendulum with a 7x7 attack(ranged & radius). BS: Headsplitter with 10x20(arc). WM: Shatter, 8x45(arc). All the attacks have 7-10ft reach depending on the attack. Just those have little overall better distance. Same goes for Katana. Katana is faster, but less dmg then say Broadsword. But do to speed it will make up in DPS over time. But the last 3 will hit far harder on average and can out do Katana, do to needing less hits. But at end of the day, your still doing TWO MOST RESISTED DAMAGE TYPES in the game. Smashing/Lethal. So always factor that in.

You can still heal just fine. There is nothing wrong with it. What is stated here is that do to how Buffs, Debuffs, Defense soft capping, etc... It's not required. Trust me, healers are still wanted. Especially with a teams that don't have the money, time, or patience to deck out a build of a hero. Those that stick strictly to SOs or IOs. There still harder content in the game that a healer can and will be wanted. Different star ranks of Taskforces & Strikeforces for example. Don't let this post detour you from what you want to play. I would suggest getting to know your community on the server you play and to hang out with folks more. Not every set is just pure heals. They all offer buffs and/or debuffs with those heals. So play & have fun. 🙂

Figured a good way to know who is who and who they are on, lol. Obviously you don't have to participate, but figured it could give folks ways to seek or not seek folks out. I'll start and feel free to add yours if you want. My Global is my Forum name, though I'm sure many of you know that by now.

It's not them specifically. It's been a long culmination of shit been flung my way in & out of game from various people. That person was just spark that lit a fuse finally. I just need a detox break from all of it. Not just builds, I've had personal attacks against me on every front of stuff. -shrugs- Folks are just more angry then anything anymore, I swear. Thank to all nice stuff said. Y'all be well & I'll most likely get back to it down road, I just need some time off.

With my 48th Birthday coming up on March 26th, I've decided not to post anymore builds or do anymore requests. The amount of fucking shit thrown at me in & out of game. As well headache inducing it is. Not worth my time at my age & health. -waves- You can thank various folks in game & out for shutting this down. Hope the haters rejoice. This "asset" to a community that honestly is way fucking worse then it was on live. (Though still better then most MMO communities). I never got this shit chucked on me during live. I had hosts of folks always asking me about builds or CoH stuff. No more, just plum tired of it all. As for rest of you, just not worth my time anymore honestly. Maybe I'll post builds again, who knows. But I'm just sick & tired of amount of insane shit I receive. Be in game or here on my "OWN" post. So here last builds I had in a folder, I'm out. You may still find me team leading in game, but I won't talk shop anymore(least for now). I don't need more folks shitting on me or whatever, I get enough of it just cuz of my 3 team rules. (1. I'm not a farm, everyone fights, 2. I start when all but two are in, 3. Follow your team lead, we fight as a team).

Are you saying to try unlock in Mids? It's a sub menu there. If it's in game, you gotta reach 24 and it forces a respec on you to select.

Then he can build his own build. I gave you something to work with, work with it or rebuild it or tweak it. If none of that works, I'm not your guy.

You are NOT Hidden when you smash into something. Cuz you get your coming out of Hide Dmg bonus. Then Proc goes off and you re-hide and then can again do out of hide dmg bonus attack. I literally do this all the damn time on Pansexual Pagan. I have actual experience with it.

Here try this out. Requested Brute (Titan Weapons - Fiery Aura).mbd

No, do to the triggering of the Proc. Dmg is dealt first & then proc goes off. I do it all time, with my BS/Shield Stalker. Shield Charge, then Assassin Strike or my Judgement(which gets stealth hit), etc... If anyone doubts me, go test it out yourself.

Page 54......

You mean Page 21.... For a Granite anything, yes. Granite builds are pretty much same since early days of Live. Very little was changed for Granite, what little was changed was back on live.

I get what your saying. Your just stuck in a specific train of thought and think it's end all be all. I just covered various aspects of protection for them. That can cover AoE, Melee, Ranged & Typed dmg that also can be found in them. Doesn't matter how frigging high your ranged defense is. An AoE will still hit, less you have enough proper typed or AoE Defense. Same goes for melee. While I'm a defensive build promo guy. I also understand all other avenues. Not everyone going remember to fly out up out of melee reach or if AoE hits someone near em and hits them, Especially in enclosed areas. There all things to remember. Not everyone going take Hover. Some folks want SJ or SS or Teleport for Travel. Gotta factor in all possible options. Not focus on...DO THIS, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, BLAH BLAH. I understand far better then most, been at this since Beta Blue till Sunset, Pre-HC, HC Day 1. I forget so many things in my own life, nothing in this game has ever left my memory.

I always do, with maybe some slight tweaking as a I go. But I prep beforehand majority of the time. Perhaps this build will help you out? Defender (Pain Domination - Seismic Blast).mbd

As I said, last update broke some things. As well fixing other things(Mids), lol. I hadn't tried testing it in game. My AC guy only lvl 2. But if you where able to, then as I stated, Apoc in Drone & Ice Mistrel in the Nitrogen

Again, It had Apocalypse, Purple Ranged, not sure if Mid's broke that or it was also changed to not take Ranged Attack sets. If not use: Expedient Reinforcement set.

Before it was a Slow Set. Ice Minstrel, but Mid's had update. It's now not letting you. I'd have to go in game, check to see that got changed or not.
