  1. Electric Armor Tanker. Then you can always be sure aggro is managed.
  2. Time/Set with PBAOE/Soul if you want to go with something melee style.
  3. Auspex + Celerity = Major gun-fu

    I'd say Pain/DP for Toreador. Pain being a combination of the auspex astral abilities and presence buffs/debuffs.
  4. They revealed the concealment changes?
  5. I say Stalker just because they get what I think is the best armor set T9 power around. Spines/Ice could also be made to look like coral for a Coralaxy kind of thing.

    Pet Peeves 2.0!

    People who don't capitalize their character names. Especially those "adjectiveNoun" names that have been going around. What's up with those?
  7. When trying to calculate these eight seconds out, should I be using Arcana time or cast time?

    EDIT:
    Well, messing around a little bit I came up with this chain. It does require you to take both Aqua Bolt and Hydro Blast, though. Using Arcana time it comes out to 8.58 seconds between enhanced Water Jets. It includes five attacks, so you can miss two and still have your stacks of Tidal Power up. This probably isn't the top DPS chain, but it's a start anyway.

    Dehydrate: 2.112
    Hydro Blast: 1.848
    Water Jet: 1.584
    Aqua Bolt :1.188
    Hydro Blast: 1.848
    8.58 seconds
    Water Jet X2
  8. So I'm trying to plan out my Water/Time Corr, and there's a lot of powers I want to take. I do have Temporal Selection now at level 20, and it's great for helping to keep the team "tank" going with the regen it gives. I'm just not completely sure how useful it will be at Incarnate levels when I'm going to have so much stuff to spam as it is. Adding a single target buff on top of it seems like it might get lost in the bustle. Any experienced Time players care to weigh in?
  9. For all your people's whining about just playing how you want, you sure do jump down someone's throat for wanting to play in a way that leads to top performance.

    As goes Rad/Elec. . .well, my first character in CoH after beta ended was a Rad/Elec and the notion that it deals substandard damage is. . . .

    They were joking, right?
    Hardly a joke. I would say Defender Electric Blast is THE lowest damage set in the game.

    Contrary to the name, Repel actually does Knockback instead of Repel.
  12. Interesting stuff. I'll keep an eye on this.

    Yeah, what's up with this?
  14. I'd say a channel, mostly because I don't plan on having any characters pony related.

    It's been doing this for a week. So I've rebooted several times and turned the option on and off between sessions. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Reinstalling the launcher is a quick process and shouldn't effect my game files, yes?
  16. I've got my NC Launcher set up to automatically start up CoH when I open it, and have the setting clicked for it to close after launching a game. But for some reason it's just stopped closing itself now. I've tried changing to setting back and forth in between uses, but nothing seems to come of it. Anyone experienced this issue?
  17. I've found that it's quite easy to do on a Tank, but haven't been able to find a build that can do it on a Brute, yet.
  18. Is there a central channel that gets used the most?
  19. Resists, Regen, Recovery and +rech? I'll be interested to see how this winds up getting balanced.

    BrandX's Art!

    Thank you for this thread. I've found some great artists, and have already put in an order for a commission with Mako Fufu.
  21. This looks like it could be a lot of fun. Unfortunately being GMT-10 means I probably wouldn't be able to make it to these events.

The world is much, much bigger than the town/county/principality/district you live in after all. Neat, huh?
    Considering the majority of the subscriber base is within the GMT-5 to GMT-8 range, and Paragon Studios themselves are based in California, I highly doubt they chose to run it during this time based on GMT. More likely they just don't want to have someone log in at Midnight to enable/disable the event when they're all off work.
