Force Redux

True, but its goofy and comic-y in the Silver Age style and it has that Sargent Rock appeal... 😄

Hello. I come seeking the help of the costume gurus, I've had no luck in coming up with a costume I like, mostly due to lack of long gowns or the like. I hope someone can jury-rig something that would fit the character. Character: Necro/Dark MM, ghostly woman in gown with princess hat (or something else/hood?) that is long, flowing. Monochrome, as I'll use glow aura and stealth to make her 'spectral'. Tried using various skirts, boleros, capes, but not reallying getting anything to gel. Anyone up for the challenge? Kind thanks in advance! 🙂

In case anyone was wondering, I checked and the Cigar option (and others, like The Plate) do not exist for female characters, only male/huge body types, so cigarette it is...no cigars for female characters! I wonder what Freud would make of this?

I need to go look again for the cigar...🤫

Found it, ty ! It was Gunslinger 3. Oddly enough, I thought it existed before the gunslinger stuff was added... 🙂

I play my alts, but I have found sitting (or hitting) in an AE farm has resulted in some good /global friends. Depends on the mood of the group, but it can be relaxing and social, trading jokes, talking about life, or updates on HC.

Hi folks. I wanted to add a cigar to my hard-bitten, rough n' tumble mercenary, but I cannot find it in the CC (this is a level 50 character). I thought it was under Detail 2, but no luck. Current head option is Head>Hats. Thanks for any direction/help. 🙂

I dunno... Often when I'm sitting in a farm with an alt a lot of us just chat and joke... It's social time

Anything Kinetic for me....busy set... It's probably just me though 🤣

Regeneration, if it were improved, should have a pretty high debuff resistance to -Regen and -max health. I don't recall any other set has any such robust debuff resistance. Would add to the uniqueness.

Welcome home, hero 🙂

I laughed with this. But what's the story with Sentinel Regen? Works great for my Water/Regen and feels different than my Psi/Willpower too... Couldn't Sentinel Regen be proliferated?

Check and see if there are any check boxes checked under combat settings perhaps?

Looks like fun was had 👍🏻🙂

Hope you are feeling better. Ty for the work on this list 🙏🙂

On behalf of your future teams, we thank you 😛

Just going to opine that for my Bots/FF maint. drone is a huge boost. I dropped Aid Other as a result. I can see for heal-capable secondaries, MtD is a bit of a superfluous power, be nice if it offered a Stimulant or other side buff for that purpose. Or choose between a drone that can either heal or offer a buff (similar to how Swap Ammo branches into different powers). That said, for Bots/FF it was a big boost. Yes, I took a second Rifle attack for the -Regen. I was able to make it work, even with the new goodies in FF that I previously skipped. I should toss out a build here, I feel that it was an overall buff for me, personally, though I acknowledge how this went for other Robotics power set users, too.

Hello Snarky. Honestly, IMO depends on how much control you like. Lich has some good control at the expense of some damage vs. Demon Prince. Undead also are immune to slows, but are not quite as fast as demons in the ground obstacle course; demons block doors and are noisy, undead are silent. Both perform well, especially with the update to Necromancy, and I'd place them about on par with each other whereas previously undead were behind demons by quite a bit. No surprises there. Demons is just great for damage, but when I feel like having some control (more than Demons, as it is), I go with Necromancy, as Lich is pretty well scripted AI for sitting in the back lines and tossing out his controls. I have both Necro/Dark and Demon/Dark for years, and I love them both so much, I can't call either better than the other, especially now. Just go with theme, as both are solid performers, neither disappoints. TLDR: both are great. Undead over Demons only if you like a small tradeoff between damage for control.

Thanks for sharing, I'm sorry to hear about your aunt's passing, she sounds like a wonderful part of your life. If I can attend IG, I shall. /holds torch

Thank you everyone for those who donate those who run things and those who contribute to the community, revival of City of Heroes has a special place in my heart last few years.

Ice/ice blaster is durable and has oodles of control and solid damage. Fun and thematic. Ice/Ice sentinel is the melee version of the above. Both are top notch.

Lots of great advice in this topic, I just want to poke my head in and say welcome back to City of Heroes 🙂👋🏻 (Also... Sentinels... !)

I really love this one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I could easily recommend ice / ice blaster and DP / Martial combat. I can easily solo a slashing lethal farm at plus two times eight. Never tried solving an ITF, but these two fit my grouping and solo needs quite easily and are hella fun to play. As @Nyghtmaire said above, whatever actually is fun to play May not always be what is mechanically superior. Animations, your costume and customization, and how that mesh is with your personal play style are all important. Try a bunch out on only way to really figure out how it works for you other than our recommendations.

Welcome back!
