  1. Concerning Executioner's Shot, I liked it originally but then began to actually find the animation quite annoying and the damage not great.

    And Piercing Rounds looks MUCH cooler. Still.

    My one question is am I still going to be wanting to keep Pistols in the build for the scourge? I figured I'll always have something to do on a high recharge build coupled with Siphon Speed and I wouldn't miss it too much, but I am in no way an expert on Dual Pistols.

    Thanks,

    Tux

    New Mids

    Yeah I'm using the CoH Planner and am on the administrator but on installation a popup tells me there's an "Error opening the file for writing", with the Abort, Retry or Ignore options. This is about a third of the way through the installation by the way.

    Anyone having this problem or got any other ideas on how to solve it. Thanks for the replies guys, I appreciate it.

    Just wondering if someone could point out this link as I'm having the same problem.
    Thanks.

    Rad/TA or...

    I think Rad/TA would be cool, and you're right - don't think I've ever seen one around! However, I think you'd enjoy Dark/Storm or even Fire/Storm particularly for your first villain 50
  6. I think the free transfers are great and should be kept in action. It works really well and (for now) solves the fact that we only have 36 slots on each server

    Thanks in advance.
  9. Fire Breath then? I wasn't too sure what to swap out really but I think he will appreciate essentially being hit almost half as much with the new build being put at the soft cap. I'm totally open to other suggestions if Tangler thinks he could drop anything, just trying to help.

    About my build, I think I'll just shoot for more recharge, thanks Harkness.
  10. Thanks guys, this has cleared up a few issues for me with my AR/Kin Corr. Only wondering whether I should throw a few BotZs in my travel powers for some layered ranged defence (~30%ish, and giving me 39% Energy def!) if anyone has any experience with it?

    About the Fire/Kin build earlier if you can tolerate swapping out Rain of Fire and a few switches at what level you are taking certain powers, then this will cap your S/L defence.

  11. Thanks for the advice guys, I will probably be making a post about my Fire/Sonic and what route I'm planning on taking it. Probably Rech and 32% S/L defence..

    Cheers again,

    Tux.
  12. Just playing around with mids on my Fire/Sonic Corr and wondering what the best slotting for Liquefy is?

    Apologies for the typo on the heading!
  13. The Fly Trap is decent, plus it will be out almost permantly usually.

    About being a good farmer, I think it's not going to be farming as fast as an Elec/Shield, SS/Shield, SS/Fire etc. Brute for example, but it will get the job done acceptably and I gathered from seeing another Dom farming thread that you have your mind set on a Dom for this purpose.
  14. I like it.

    Just some little things that I would change personally...

    Throw a Trap of the Hunter proc in Roots instead of the Acc/Recharge. You already have good acc in it and I take it you'll be spamming it to keep enemies locked down?

    Again, I would probably put the Impeded Swiftness proc in Carrion instead of the Acc/Rech.
    Also a Perf Shifter proc instead of one of the end mod IOs in Stamina.

    Do you plan on using Disurptor Blast btw? Or just a slot mule?

    Hope that helps,

    Tux.
  15. I think a player with this much skill might be able to solo the STF. Srsly.
  16. 39% Accuracy isn't bad but I generally want my heal hitting very often. Siphon speed with it's recharge is invaluable aswell.
  17. I know the Numina's set gives 3.75% ranged but you're going to miss not having any acc in Transfusion, otherwise the build looks pretty good. I'll have a poke around mids and see if I can come up with anything else for you.

    Are you planning to actually use M30 Grenage by the way? I would at least try and fit in one acc in Siphon Speed aswell and Transference seems underslotted.

    One thing I'm wondering is would it be deemed more survivable to soft-cap smashing/lethal defence in most situations? I'm kinda having this trouble on a lot of my villain toons that have access to the Scorpion Shield. Or should I just take the shield for precaution and try and cap ranged regardless?
  18. Thanks very much Telperion!

    Kin/???

    But LG proc and Achilles' Heel proc in Neutrino Bolt is win?

    I would go Rad or Ice, decent ST, good AoE
  20. What sort of budget build are we talking? As I think I have a build lying around somewhere but it's very expensive!
  21. I would definitely take Tough simply because Weave is *very* good in the late game for survival putting you that much closer to softcapping your positional defences. Phalanx Fighting is great for this aswell, but I often find my builds too tight for Grant Cover though. It's worth noting that is has good defence debuff resistance in it though

    DM also pairs very well with Shields as it has -tohit which naturally stacks well with defence-based sets. You'll have a very powerful toon in the later levels with the right IOs, and even with SOs.
  22. I like the idea of changing Energy Transfer's animation to the stun animation. At least that way it would have ~1 second less than the new animation but wouldn't be as overpowered as the old one. With regards to the change of Stun's animation if this happened, you could simply do a swap or give it the "Power Thrust" animation. Would anyone see this as overpowered?

    Concerning Whirling Hands, I love the animation for some reason and am happy to accept that the damage isn't great. I have plently of other toons to play when I want to pump out some serious AoE damage so I don't mind it being next to useless. Well there are my thoughts, and it would be really nice if the devs did something along these lines, in my opinion

    Thanks,
    Tux.

    Top 100 SG/VG

    The Hyperion Cantos are a Hero SG run by @Tuxedo Infinitus and @Philtrum

    Nice prestige Murders Unlimited and I'd like to see who's leading the prestige boards for that SG on Champion!

    Fire/Sonic

    Right guys, I've got it down to two builds now..

    Both builds are team-orientated with Clarity, and the two res. shields.

    My first build has about 55% recharge and has a hefty recovery bonus too (3.36/s) , and with the added bonus of Aid Self. I have about 50% resistance to S/L which is nice aswell and Fire Breath for some added AoE. (+ Assault)

    On my second build I have Tough/Weave but no Aid Self. I've also skipped Fire Breath here but have yet again a nice recovery bonus (3.25/s) and ~35% ranged defence (With almost 70% S/L res! Global recharge is about 25%.

    Thoughts and opinions? Pros and cons? I'm really split here, and thinking if I already have enough survivability with 50% S/L resistance for a Corruptor.

    Finally, what should I be slotting Liquefy with? Got a set of Lockdowns in it for the ranged defence for now and just made sure it's basically capped on rech.? Any other slotting advice on that?

    Thanks again for all comments and opinions, really torn between these two builds hehe. Anyone got any other ideas?

    Fire/Sonic

    Cheers for all the advice guys, I am quite a "hands-on" Corruptor and will be team-orientated. I was considering going for a little def. through set bonuses and picking up Tough/Weave at the same time (Added resistance too with my Sonic Deispersion). Think it's worth it? Could get about 25% to ranged on defence, the Mu Armor, Sonic Dispersion and Tough all stacking.

    I think I might pick up Fire Breath too as I like AoE and don't mind hopping around a little. And I think I'll just take Power Sink and no CP. Thanks again for your help guys. Oh and also, thoughts on Sonic Cage? (Not included it in my planned build for now)
