Force Redux

I remember this. When the shut down happened, and I had no access to CoH (sorry, was NOT one of the kool kids on the secret server), I was sad. Very sad. It was a real loss for me as this game really scratches an itch none other did, and the community was fantastic. I *Still* prefer COH HC to ANY actual MMO still running today. And then...it was back....and better than ever (yes, the HC changes were, for the most part, a better QOL addition than live), and also surprising, the community retained its awesome character. So I remember, that I never loved everything the Live team did, either. So I remember, that CoH was once a memory, a pleasant bit of history. But now it is here. And I can play it. All the parts I love. With this great community. I can fly, be free, and do something heroic (or villainous) and unleash that inner nerd once more. Not saying anyone is wrong, just saying I remember the big picture and I'm 99% pleased with HC 99% of the time when I keep it all in line. Fly on heroes, fly on.

Illusion/Traps - so versatile, very different playstyle, a bit better solo than on teams due to the nature of /traps being mostly immobile and longer-ish recharge; but you also build for recharge for illusion, which helps traps though, so when recharge is built up, even on teams some of your traps are always useful and up for the next group or every other group. Plus teleport to move them around. This build excels at moving ahead of the pack, not trailing behind. Illusion/Rad - versatile, works well doing anything, really - lacks some of the tricks and damage of /Traps but is easier/cheaper to build for recharge, a tad bit more group friendly than traps. Lovely lovely AOE hold toggle in /Rad. Proc it for effectiveness and stacking Hold on bosses. Same as /nature. Plant/nature - as I said, king of AoE, solid support set, really shines in groups. Very thematic. Plant/Marine - about as good as nature, maybe a smidge better for damage and buffs, but its really apples and oranges. Theme is strong here. Go Leviathan. Gravity/Dark - Strong single target damage, best pet ever, combined with a fantastic dark fluffy in /Dark, you get the whole package except a bit light on AOE, but you can proc bomb the stun if you like, add in incarnates, epics and temp powers, you're fine. Super safe. Feels stronk. Arsenal/TA - kind of like a controllery Rambo build. Lots of damage potential, not enough keys, so make sure you keybind lol. You are the swiss knife/tool kit/boy scout kit. Great for a gadgeteer! These are the ones I have and are familiar with. I would recommend them to any who want a controller. Best budget controller: Gravity/Dark. Best newbie controller: Plant/Nature.

If you like teaming Plant/Nature is an excellent all rounder. Great AOE damage potential but single target is okay but not stellar.

Very nice! Reminds me of Battle Beast, from Invincible.

Happy Anniversary CoX! Been here since beta... Still my favorite game and community.

Thanks for posting these 🙂

This was worth the price of admission to the forums today! 🧛‍♂️🦇

I had one on live. I actually like my Merc/Nature much more for the reasons listed above. I actually like traps on my illusion controller much better because of PA.

Corruptor? Archery/Trick Arrow perhaps?

I have one, and it's a great solution. Checks all the boxes. Great combo

Hi...I don't think so.. There is a lot of content especially below level 50 and ouroboros

Very respectfully, there's probably a dozen ways to headcanon around this issue. But, to each their own.

Welcome hero! How'd you hear about us?

I love the color palette on this one

Background reminds me of the interior entrance of Portal Corp in PI

Welcome back hero (or villain)!

An arrow for every occasion? 😀

Love it, Ty!

Love the character and name. What's her travel power? Biography? I'm intrigued 🙂

Welcome hero! (Or villain) 🙂

I've got infractions in the past. Don't let it kill your vibe Snarks
