Force Redux

This will sound rather silly, but... How do you remember your character?

This will be very helpful. Thank you!

Any support power set is vital endgame for most everything (farming aside). Find what tickles your fancy. Even Forcefield, which is pretty one dimensional (but a fave of mine) contributes at end game, preventing cascading Defense failures and lending mezz protection. Unlike most games, elitism is not the rule when it comes to what you play at end game.

I remember my Bubbler being asked to heal.... I remember the old Hollows, too.

As a Force-Fielder, I remember first reading this years ago and finding it so helpful. Years later, it just cements my love of the set. PFF and Dispersion Bubble get much love from me. :)

Thank you Strikerfox! I think I'll use Big Bot to carry the proc! I can't count the number of times he's blown his own targets out of his own burn patch!

No matter how long this lasts, it has been therapeutic :-)

As the title says, where would be the best place to slot this proc? I'm thinking assault bot, but willing to hear any advice from those in the know. Thank you!

My sentiments echo many of those already expressed - I had no idea City of Heroes/Villains had any life in it, at all, prior to a couple of weeks ago. Learning about Homecoming was about the nicest birthday present I could have gotten, and totally unexpected. I had participated in the Beta all the way through the sunset on Live, and when the plug was pulled, so was a bit of my heart, as maudlin as that sounds. I'd played in tandem with my son, made friends, and had unleashed my imagination for 8 years in the Rogue Isles and Paragon City. I'll admit, I was rather emotional at its closure. I hadn't realized a part of me was missing until I loaded up the game and heard the music, and stood in front of Kalinda and saw someone and their minions /pet dancing. Seven years, it seemed, hadn't passed at all. I was transported back in time. (and I'm impressed how well the game has aged...gameplay wise, its more fun than ESO, GW2, STO or anything that has filled my time since Live died. So...Leandro, and all those involved in making this possible, out of your own time, money and energy, a huge thank you for giving us back something we had lost, and that for many of us had become something more than we had ever expected. I have no words to thank you sufficiently. Instead, I'll salute you as I fly across the skies of Atlas Park rescuing hapless citizens, or slink along the mire of Port Oakes plotting my rise to power. If there is anyone from Justice / Phoenix Rising or Virtue / -Corporation- reading this (Frosty, Captain Omega, Riley, Jules Burns, Soviet Statesman, etc) give me a holler/message. This is Nightfist/chill out/mechanista Also, I never got to thank Paladin on Virtue, who ran so many great TFs out of the RWZ. I hope you too found your way back home.

I had a Time/DP defender on live, and it was fun to play. - capable soloer - helpful on teams - visually fun to watch - took it all the way to incarnate. - Time will have you closer to the action due to some PBAOEs. While I like /Sonic, and it's helpful to team up with,I never Groked the animations. But it's very viable. IFor positioning, you'll tend to be at the periphery rather than middle of things. Make one of each, see what sticks :-)

As a June baby and a Gemini, I thank you!

I tried a Bots/Time this time around...I had a Time/DP Defender on live, and loved it, but for some reason, I really like FF with my Bots. It is cruise control, as someone mentioned above, which is good, because sometimes I don't want to be too busy. I will, however, enjoy picking up Scorpion's Mace powers again for some extra activity.

In the process of leveling my recreated Bots/FF MM!

My incarnated Bots/FF was my main back in the day before shutdown. It was also my favorite character. Time will give you more tools. You'll need to be in melee range more to debuff. Its also a 'busier' set, in that you have more to click and do. FF will let you focus more on pet positioning any any personal powers for pew pew (I had Mace mastery), and its less involving. I was able to solo virtually anything, thanks to Big Bot's -regen plasma cannons. Some call Bots/FF boring. I called it relaxing. Just depends on your mindset. You can't go wrong either way. For me, it was so much fun, I am leveling it all over again. One thing I like a lot is Personal Force Field and status resistance. With PFF, sometimes when I'm separated on a team or want to explore, I can do so with impunity.

One thing to consider, it will be easier and cheaper to cap ranged DEF with Defender's Time, plus better -to hit debuffs, etc. Trade-off: less damage in groups.

/signed Well said PK. I'm grateful beyond words for the opportunity to return to CoX after all this time. Thank you Homecoming team. :-)

/no to nerfing.

Named my new Forcefield/Water defender "Bubble Bath".

This right here.
