Cyrickain13 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 So yeah serious case of alt-itis Cranking out 1-2 50's per week until I get bored again. Some serious questions though.... Characters can have more then 1 build? Which is awesome. Should I do IO's for the build I dont play much? IE - Hasten with 3 Recharge IO's or get them special ones? I am sure I have more questions. Glad to be back in CoH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Peak Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hey welcome back to the community! If you like using multiple builds, you can switch them on the fly with the "/selectbuild #" command, where the # is your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd build.

Dazl Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Welcome back home. The multiple builds are nice, but you do need all new IO's for each build. If your just returning and have limited funds you may want to hold off on any multiple builds, but if you have the funds go to town.

Without_Pause Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) In a pinch, 2 level 50 IOs will be good enough for Hasten. You could boost them to 55 if you like.

Snarky Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I only use multiple builds very rarely. For instance on my Farmer. My farm build is very good…against one specific custom built group of enemies. So i have a “standard” build for the character that does task forces and regular missions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-Six Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I say embrace your altitis and just do 1 build per toon. If you want a second or third build, roll a duplicate toon. With me, each toon develops a different personality even if it's the same power sets. I have 8 spiders if that says anything plus several power sets with duplicate toons but varying power picks and builds... and of course costumes. 😃 This will also explain why I always have no inf on me. haha 2 My Toons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have their own enhancements, pool selections, etc. As far as "should I do IOs," it's your character - do what you want with it. *shrug* Will it be as enjoyable without them, or do you need perma-cap-etc-etc-etc? 2 1 Done with the Kheld "community" here.

Hew Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 generic ios work great, and if you have a multibuild char, generics are the way to go, until you settle on what flavor of build you like the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My farm build is very good…against one specific custom built group of enemies. So i have a “standard” build for the character that does task forces and regular missions. Similar. The only time I have used a second build to date is for a particular challenge: In this case it was SOs-only. I've recently been occasionally running ITFs with challenge settings and that has me thinking of a second build as well because I might do stuff for that which is geared specifically to that TF and challenge vs. the general case of teaming with normal settings, which is a lot less demanding. But I haven't yet seen the point of going from attuned IOs to all boosted level 50s for "endgame" content. It just seems a bit past the point of diminishing returns to me. Also, I am not yet so rich that "cost is no object". I'd rather make more characters than invest in multiple builds and that is still an either-or for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrickain13 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Thanks for all the advice. Before I left I had 3 bases with full storage on several accounts. Going through those and slotting what I can. 2700 IO's and 2700 Salvage items....mostly just used bases to hold all my junk lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I have more questions. Glad to be back in CoH. Secondary builds are awesome for any of the Hero/Villain epic AT’s. You have multiple ways to build these AT’s, particularly on the VEAT’s, and limited slots. I’ve done this with a Widow and a PB and it’s kind of nifty to have radically different AT’s within the same alt. Also fun for RP purposes. I have a widow that was badly injured and had her body turned into a cybernetic experiment by Arachnos as a result. She managed to hack her security protocols, became self aware and reprogram a herself different abilities at will based on the situation. Thus the “reason” for multiple builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
