Force Redux

Copy that ty Luminara!

I have both ATO sets on my sentinel and should be getting +20% range boost...but on power inspection / tool tip, it shows the base range. Is this a new bug? I swore when I last played my sentinel last spring it did display the new boosted range upon inspection....any thoughts/experiences? Thanks.

I currently enjoy sentinels after the recent buff. They are at the right spot where I feel they do not eclipse blasters nor scrappers, but do well enough at their own niche. As was posted above "kind of a ranged scrapper". I'll take a small hit on damage to not chase things in melee.

Sentinel Regen for scrappers. This is a no brainer. It's only complicated because reasons.

Get Leviathan patron pool and do land air AND sea animals 😁😁

Never bothered with Sandolphin's binds and I have well behaved pets, anyhow. Even ninjas who love to chase things. I've managed to melee joust on the Apex TF fight with Battle Maiden's blue pools of death with Beasts no less, and no pet death, so simple can be effective with practice. After years of play, it's muscle memory for me. If I can do it, anyone can, I'm not that stellar, just practiced. I keep only six MM command macros: All pets attack (C) All pets goto (V) All pets follow (B) ------ All pets Aggressive (ctr+C) All pets Defensive (ctr+V) All pets Passive (ctr+B) That's it. When I zone pets reset to defensive. I keep them leashed until we get started, then on aggressive. I typically keep them on aggressive to maintain uptime on attacks while I sic them on the next target. I will change to defensive or passive depending on need though.

I won't argue TA is amazing. But I would also hold up Cold, and I've got a ninja/cold at 50 recently. The two go together like peanut better and jelly: Ice shields + IOs + maneuvers + fog + 2-slotted Train Ninja with DefMods gets you 51%+ on Genin, and only gets better for Jonin and Oni. Ninjas get Kuji in Sha heals, so they take care of bleed through damage on their own. Arctic fog gives them some resists, and stealth ((c'mon ya gotta have stealthy pets as a ninja master!)), and is a great IO mule. Infrigerate and Sleet are your bread and butter debuffs. Floors defense and eats resistance. Proccable for more fun, too. Benumb is ok for AVs, GMs, but I skip heat loss as recharge is ridiculously long. I skip frostwork. With no heal component, it is too much busy work for too little benefit, but if you team it may be ok if you have a tanker or brute buddy not at hp cap. When Oni casts his Rain of Fire, Sleet keeps them within it. And it's up virtually every spawn. I like and keep Snowstorm. It's a one slot wonder power. While AVs will resist it greatly, other mobs will have their move and recharge crippled, which benefits your ninjas. It does draw a lot of aggro so be advised to cast it in defensive or around a corner. Between this and Sleet, you can "control" two spawns. I went with Chill epic for theme and it's also very complementary. Hoarfrost, Ice Armor and Hibernate keep your mastermind standing during hot moments. Oni has a ST Ring of Fire, which is useful for keeping bosses running from your DoTs and debuffs, bridging a control gap you otherwise might have. He casts it frequently too. Acc/Mezz hami in Oni helps him stack. just my two info...enjoy whatever you choose!

All in how one conceptualize things, right? 🙂

Late to the party, but here's my two inf. I don't have a build, I've been making heroes for 19 years (minus the 'snap'), and really don't need Mids' any more. However, I will say it is a fun, effective combo. I like that cold rounds increase range 33%, or I swap to incendiary when I don't need moar range. Incarnates: Alpha: Muscular (for damage/EndMod) Judgement: Nothing really fits pistols, but I do Ion for the min/max as a result. Interface: usually Degenerative for hard targetrs Lore: anything that fits my concept, otherwise Banished. Destiny: Ageless for debuff resistance to preserver your DEFENSE Hybrid: Assault radial graft. I like procs and progressive damage boosts, so I mix it up. Honestly, Sents are so self-contained, you can go with any Incarnates and make it work.

Probably because they are AE mobs they don't register? Run a Synapse and took be done with the badge in 5 min 😁😁 ((like I did))

Those 7-ft tall Council clearly have a high protein diet lol

I did not know Punchy personally, but I did visit the Atlas torchlight vigil, as well as a respects at the base. Condolences to all.

I have one at Incarnate. Great fun. kyoko helps while leveling. Physical perfection at 41 fixed everything else.

I like the monochrome effectiveness and simplicity of her costume

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the loss of your roomie. City of heroes is a great way to revitalize, enjoy!

Warcraft, I'm assuming.

I've been with MMOs starting about 2000 with EverQuest live, then played about 90% of most MMO titles through today. Some for years (CoH, EQ2, ESO...) and some for a short time (New World, Tabula Rasa, etc). All of them mostly (exception for Korean grinders like Lineage or Grenado Espada or some true flops like Matrix Online) had some sort of good community, large or small, if you looked, even Snorecraft. City of Heroes was a real gem in live, and even moreso now after 'the snap'. Multiple factors, but the essence of the game is generally (despite the modern deconstruction) about achieving something better. On a cathartic level, CoH combat is really truly glorious, colorful, beautiful chaos, and zapping hords of Malta and shaking your fist in the face of various nefarious AVs is very satisfying when managing my stress. So is just walking through my base and having head-cannon tie-ins to storylines (like Dark Astoria). On the social level, this is a very helpful and generous community overall, and I've witnessed/experienced many acts of genuine kindness. That just rubs off. Good second runner ups for community in my own experience have been Everquest 2, The Secret World, and Warhammer Online (faction-based community). Anyway, you are great, I like zapping Hellions with you all. I guess that's why I'm here 19 years later.

Very fun and generous!

Hi Etched. I sent you a PM, so we can discuss the particulars. Thank you! 🙂

Thanks Etched. Shouldn't take more than a few days. I already converted Merits into some AT sets I needed for my new scrapper.

Hi Etched. I totally understand the value of time. I'm selling and working the market. If you don't mind waiting a bit, I can raise the 250MM, and perhaps we can discuss? Cheers.

Hello folks. I'm hoping to find someone who has the talent and a bit of time to help build a base. I can pay, but at this time, no more than 100 Million Inf, which I know is not a lot these days, but it's what I have after kitting out my 'mains'. I'm not great at lighting and water or artistic placement, so could use a bit of talent on my side. Nutshell: a small-medium "Bat Cave" style industrial hideout. Let me know if there is any interest. Thanks for reading.

Thank you to everyone who supports our favorite game!

Numbers discussion aside, my dual pistols/Martial looks and feels good when playing, don't notice much of a difference between my ice blaster or beam rifle blaster. Clear time is reasonable on teams or solo. I do solo+2x4 however, so this isn't me worrying about pylon times or anything.

Regeneration buffs do help Singy.
