    Leadership pool

    Cost really isnt an issue, its the low numbers they seem to provide I'm worried about. Biggest one is the to hit at 7.5 rest seems way below what i would have expected from a MM, just wondering if I may have missed something =)

    Leadership pool

    I went to pick up some leadership powers for my Demons/dark character and noticed that many of them were 2% (or around there), i thought they were highest on a MM? Them being this low should i still get them?
  3. I'm undecided which to go as Ive seen only one build for a E^3 and none for an electric/MM. Anyone know which might be better for solo? seems Electric/MM would mesh well together, but a E^3 just kinda sounds cool (are those only blaptrollers?).

    any help in deciding? :P

    I might try that, seems to me a few procs probably wouldent hurt and I have yet to use any on any of my characters.

    As for other pool skills, what should i take? I assume hasten, originally i planned to take flight for hover/fly (That and i kinda hate managing super speed, besides I have ninja run, not AS fast as SS but it takes out a power pick I guess)

    Slotting set bonusesm should I go mainly global recharge, or damage?

    Thanks for all the help, so far this character is a blast to play.
  5. First time playing a controller and i have to say so far I like it. Currently I'm running plant/storm but I see no guides on the combo of the sets. I know there has to be some one who can advise me on this combo as i cant be the only one who likes it. Things I would like to know:

    Powers to avoid?
    How soloable is the combo?
    Is it good in groups?

    Sample builds would be good too but not required, mostly just advice to avoid the pitfalls of both sets.
  6. Like what was said, GC recharges so fast with +recharge bonuses its silly, add to that how fast DA recharges and you become a blender of doom. For fun one time i packed as many procs as I could into GC and swung away. damn that was fun :P

    ty!
    I would say /WP, not because its better or more powerful but because with DB you will be trying to line up combos for the extra effects, meaning anytime you have to click on one of Regens abilities you loose that much more stabby time, also its annoying >_<

    The Defence Myth

    I read all this and can honestly say, this whole thing( the whole thread) made my head hurt. Honestly? WAY too much thought/maths involved in playing a game. But kudos anyway, it did give me some insight on defenses in the game. Now I'm gonna go take several shots of Jack until all the numbers swimming in my head go away :P

Is there a way you can modify those or do you have another build I can use? I do not have patron power pools. I do not have instant access travel powers. I have only bene playing this game for 9 months.
    Plenty of ways to put off travel powers. A few examples below:

    Ninja Run+Sprint (Ninja run a travel power from one of the 9 buck boosters, and the power is usable at level 4 bonus!)

    Slotted Sprint+ Swift, now that you get fitness at level 2 this is a more doable thing

    Crafted travel powers, really any of em. They cost next to nothing if you get the ones that use cheap salvage.

    Currently my KM/WP uses the Ninja run, probably the best 9 bucks I ever spent on a booster since it goes to ALL my characters.

    Failing that just take a travel power slightly earlier, its not going to impact any of the builds THAT much. Take out any of the level 14 powers if you want, to be honest its not going to impact much.
  10. I dont think its a browser issue, I tried both Firefox and IE (Man I hate IE..) still nothing
  11. I'm following This build

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=124950

    Now the problem stems from what to take in place of all the fitness powers, I'm thinking some leadership powers but I'm not sure.
  12. I havent moved in like 8 years so I do not think its that. I'll just try again later. If nothing, well i guess they really dont want my money :P

    Sorry, I could not resist. Gotta love 80's Cheese!
    Oh lord, I want that time I wasted watching that back :P
  14. I did not mean that MA/ was "Lol" just that it was viewed as such when I last played it, it is nice to know it got buffed though!

    Reason I'm not considering Kinetic is because I'm trying to make a natural character and glowing hands/feet dont fit that too well though i may change my view on it depending. Thanks =)
  15. I know just about any hero is viable for pve, what i want to know is how viable is a Ma/Sr character for pvp AND pve? Is its still viewed as the "Lol" set? Keep in mind my info is some what dated on it..

    Tips Question

    My main is a stalker, i found the hero ones more difficult because of the escort missions. Villain ones were normally "Bust some guys teeth out of his head" or "Steal the shiny humming thing"

    I'll take that anytime :P
  17. Also when clicking "Try our other retailers" it just feeds you back to the NCsoft site, would be helpful if their servers drop out like this often if they DID have other sites you could go to get them.
  18. "We're sorry, but we are unable to accept your order at this time. Please try again later or tomorrow. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to visit one of our retail partners."

    I'm getting use to seeing this, to me it sounds like they just dont want my money :P

    Still its very annoying
  19. as odd as it seems about a month ago I bought GR from the NC site and it went off without a problem, today I decided I wanted to buy the ninja themed pack and it tells me "We can not accept your payment at this time". determined to see if it was my card I bought something eles from amazon (Had some X-mass shopping to do anyway) and it went though fine, additionally I went to Burgerking and got breakfast and it went through fine, so I'm asking, is this a normal thing for NC to just reject a persons card?

    Oh on a sidewise ironic note, my monthly fee for CoX was pulled from my card for the month...

    For example, let's say you selected a mission (paper mission, contact mission, or and or tip missions), the selecting of the mission could be coded to trigger a random attack. You would be greeted by them at mission doors (either outside or inside the mission).

    I know some people hate the Void Seekers awaiting Kheldians. I find it interesting that they have a specific hunter yet we don't. This is not cool to me. So I am definitely going to suggest it to the devs. I would hope others would too.

    Reason being is unlike Kelds we are..I hate to say it..common goons. We are (Or were) common ground troops for a larger criminal boss. It's like expecting special treatment as a Skull :P In the end Recluse probably dosent care that much about us.
  21. For Turrets there should be two.

    1000 defeated

    Name: "That's not Cannon"

    Description:

    Do these thing ever kill anyone anyway?

    For being killed by them X amount of times.

    Name: "Cannon Fodder"

    Descriptions: Your actually PROUD of getting this?
  22. can i get them on my older characters or can i only get them via new characters?
  23. I have both a 'Normal' and a 'magic' DP/Dev

    Normal is just that, some guy with guns and gadgets. His travel power is jumping (About as 'natural' as this game gets)

    Other is a person who combines magical items/enchantment on her guns (how eles do you explain how quickly they change out ammo? :P) Her main travel power is flight (also part of the magic origin)

    Really though it dosent matter much in the long run.
  24. I play both a Fire/MM and an Arch/Dev character and honestly I like how both of them play (i could just imagine how a Arch/mm would play) but at the end of the day i would say I like Fire/mm the best because of the amount of AoE damage that can be stacked, its also very appealing visually.

    Arch/ is also a fun one for me to play but I dont think I could get into an Arch/MM combo though I hear is a great combo, I would think though with this combo endurance wouldent ever really be a problem so thats a bonus.

    In the end its prefrence I would think. By your post it would seem your more into the arch/mm
  25. So far this is a blast to play (no pun intended) but the character is not really high level, anyone playing this higher level that can give advice? I'm thinking its along the lines (power wise) like the Fire/em I played? some range, some blap?

    Edit should say Dp/Energy
