Oubliette_Red Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Greeting all you build wizards! I have a concept (just a name really) in mind but not sure what the best AT and combo would make for the most effective character. I am looking for something that uses a combo of Energy or Elec and Ice or Cold either as Primary or Secondary (ie Elec/Cold or Cold/Elec). I am also not limited to Blaster or Tank or CC, so any AT is game. I mostly team with friends but solo effectiveness/survivability would be handy. There are so many combos available that I find myself flummoxed as to where to even start, so any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.
SeraphimKensai Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Elec/ice tanker is fun. So is an elec/cold controller. I imagine elec/cold corruptors would also be fun. 1

Out of all of my characters I think I only have 1 tank, might have to give that a try. Thanks! 🙂 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Thanks! 🙂 I ran that elec/cold tank up as a praetorian from lvl 1-50 and had a blaster with it. Solid resistance levels and the ice melee slows incoming damage down and knocks it down for further mitigation. Enjoy.

Well, I'm a character conception player and not a mini-maxer. I would need more information on the character in general before I could make a call about the sets. What origin are they? How did they get their powers? Did they grow up in the City? Did they come from someplace else? Are they going to be leveling or just jumping to the end-game (if so, I'm assuming mini-maxing so pretty much throw character conception out the window)? Have an idea about costuming or color scheme? Pulp, Golden Age, Silver Age, Modern, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, ...? Are they fighting against any particular enemy group? If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

The "concept" is really just a name. Sometimes it's easy for me to come up with a combo just based on a name. Someone mentioned "maid" in a thread and 'Dyson Sphere' came to mind instantly and it was pretty simple to pair Grav/FF to the name. Not sure, Perhaps magic or mutation. Don't know. Something to do with thundersnow maybe. Elsewhere. I have less that a half-dozen 50' and between all of them I can count the end-game content on one hand. Likely white and lt. blue. My character's looks are to say the least, eclectic. Some fantasy, some sc-fi, some historical, some horror. Nope, will likely be a vigilante or rogue though. Dislike certain sounds?

Well, from the "thunder" part it sounds like a sonic, but you indicated nrg or electric. I would think that the sound of nrg sounds more thunderous than electric as it is more of a crackling sound. ... and the snow.... Maybe an Cold Domination/NRG Defender or NRG/Cold Domination Corruptor - the would both have https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Cold_Domination#Snow_Storm 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

Ringo Posted April 24 Posted April 24 I ran an Ice Armor/Energy Melee tanker up to 50 waaaaay back in the day. Cold Starlight was her name, had a blast with the pompoms 1
Maelwys Posted May 3 Posted May 3 I've an Ice Blast / Elec Armor Sentinel that's rather fun? Ice Blast lends itself to shedloads of procs; and Elec Armor's survivability gets a real boost with Charged Shield. IMO Ice Blast and Ice Melee are both great powersets; but the Elec side of things is often a letdown (Electrical Affinity is middle of the pack at best; and Electrical Manipulation on a Blaster is often overshadowed by Energy Manipulation. Electricity Assault on a Dominator can be pretty decent though?) I suspect if you're going the other way around then Elec/Ice may well prove most effective on a Stalker (since that shores up the Single Target weaknesses in Elec Melee) or the obvious standout alternative is an Elec/Cold Corruptor (Elec's -recovery and end drain secondary effects are near useless these days so Corruptor > Defender; and Cold Dom is excellent). 1
