Force Redux

Rest in peace

Welcome home!

Robots/Dark has everything you need to hunt AVs and GMs.

If my team is steamrolling with my Miasma characters, I go solo ahead of the team. This is not unique to steamrolling teams and Dark Miasma. Against anything but AVs, many ATs have reduced contribution. Of course, I don't always run +4/x8 incarnate content. I exemplar down a lot, as well. Or run more challenging content like 801.1+ AE. I rarely feel useless. Reminder, my incarnated BR/Devices blaster isn't really essential either at veteran power levels where rotating Judgements, Lore Pets, Hybrid buffs and various Destiny powers make almost everything redundant as the murder ball rolls along. DM is just fine, if you love it, play it, that's what matters.

Thanks @Nexros, I'm only on my phone. But I'll say this, I like about 25 Ranged Defense on /Dark, combined with -ToHit, then pump up resistances. Shadowfall and Demons gives a good base for building on.

I'll have to give this a try, thank you!

I'll take a peek this weekend. 🙂

Seconding Earth/Thermal with @Scarlet Shocker, great controls and team support even with few slots. Stony can tank AVs, and it scales very well from low levels through high. Mine is very enjoyable

Unfortunately, no. Only Bots have a unique animation

Welcome home, hero!

Demons/Dark... Been running one for years, through all sorts of content, kicking all sorts of booty, never fails me.

Welcome back @Sunsette

Bots/FF would be the opposite. Ranged, buffing, low control, non-reactive. Fun in it's own way, but more hands off.

Little things matter in CoH, a game where cosmetics matter...I shelved my Thugs a while back, hated rebuffing them. 😮

If I can help with questions, just poke me 🙂

Feel free to check out my guide at the top of this forum.

Beam/Devices love here

I'm gonna necro this Necro thread to chime in for... Dark Miasma!!! 😁😁😁💀💀

You aren't wrong, this is IMO one of the best combos for a Kinetics character, totally plays to Beasts' strengths. Just have good pet control and liberal use of GoTo command, those pets on SB are faaaaast!!

With the new changes to group, my MMs perform even better than ever, and it's no longer quite so much a niche travel power. Took my pets (Bots and Demons) out for a spin, none of them dropped from the air like season 8 Game of Thrones ratings, no matter how far I flew. Pretty fast, as well. Also, cleaning up the erroneous -Accuracy text is helpful. Haters take a back seat, me and my flying pets are on our way to a group near you! Anyone else happy with the changes? Anyone else considering taking group fly where before you would have just passed it on by? 🙂👍😁😎

Okay, a quick build that focuses on capping Energy/Neg Energy and Ranged Defense. Damage is low until you hit your epic pool and you can open up your extra damage powers. AoE is Good between Roots, Repulsion Bomb and Torrent (and improves more with Carrion Creepers). Single Target is 'meh' but that's typical IMO for all Controllers other than Gravity. Your heal is Spirit Tree. Its perma at 87 seconds recharge or better with Hasten up, so double trees about a third of the time. That's about 500% regen. Between that, solid S/L resists and great Defense, plus status protection, you should be good. I didn't slot out Carrion Creepers, way too many methods to get that done, with or without procs. Recharge is a strong focus, you want it up as much as possible.

I can put one together this weekend, as I see no one has yet responded

Demons/Dark is my go-to 👍🏻🙂

@Jayhawk I'm very pleased to hear that you are really enjoying the build! If you make any tweaks or have future feedback post them here 🙂

Demons/Dark: control and debuff things into mewling kittens, heal when necessary, do evil laugh emotes!
