It kind of depends on the character, but for 95% of my characters, I go with the other ranged weapon. Sure, you don't get the bonus damage for having the right origin, but it still does decent damage and is ranged. The GSA is really only useful against true undead. On everything else, it's just a bad attack that requires you to get up close to use, which isn't helpful against some of the very enemies you're trying to fight.

I'm kinda hoping that Dark Control has a decent amount of Fear powers in it, and I'm REALLY hoping that it's not just a mashup of existing powers with only one or two new powers in it.

I'd also love a set that looks sort of like Jubilee's powers, creating "fireworks" or energy shards, and that focuses on stuns and confuses.

My Ice/Ice Tanker (my namesake) is an ancient ice demon from germanic legends. Makes perfect sense for him to be covered in ice.


However, you can also color it green and pretend that you're covered in a giant emerald, or bright blue and go sapphire.

Why don't you ask in the Brutes forum?

Short answer on Containment: Anything that is already controlled in some fashion (held, immob, sleep, fear, stun) takes double damage from further Controller powers.

So, if you have an attack that does 50 damage, but your target is held, the power will do 100 damage total to it.

1) F2Pers get two slots to make characters on. VIPs get more, but then once you go back to being a Premium player (since you were once subscribed), you go back to only having two slots.

2) Once you go back to Premium, all of your slots will be locked, and you can choose to unlock 2 characters. These can be any that you can access.

3) As such, if they are in Praetoria, which I'm not sure if you have access to, or they are Controllers/Masterminds/Kheldian/Arachnos Soldiers/Widows, you shouldn't be able to unlock them, and you'd have to unlock a new slot and make a new character.

4) It doesn't matter if they're not on their original side or not.

I believe that those types of enemies are actually in the Rogue Islands, and have just teamed up with the CoT there as part of the same faction, but they're not in Paragon City.

Why they haven't shipped them in, since they're useful? I don't know. I'd also like to beat them up as a hero, too.

Yup, you'll need to craft the enhancement before you can put it in the slot that you've unlocked. Look at the window I mentioned, and you should quickly understand what you need to do. But if you have any additional questions, please feel free ask. Feel free to global friend me at @Aett Thorn, and if you catch me online, you can ask me any questions there, too.

Well, first off, how did you unlock your Alpha slot? Did you run through the Ouroborus arc that unlocks them, or through the trials? The arc actually does a fairly good job of explaining them, but I'll try to give you the basics:

1) The Alpha slot - This functions as basically a global enhancement that helps any powers that would be affected by it. This can be crafted either from Shards (collected from fighting any enemies after you unlock you alpha slot) or from threads and incarnate components gathered in the Incarnate Trials. A portion of this global enhancement resists the effects of Enhancement Diversification, which would otherwise limit how effective these were a lot of the time.

2) Judgement - This is a powerful AoE attack that comes in several different varieties, from PBAoEs to chain attacks. To unlock this, you need to gain incarnate experience from one of the iTrials, and then you can craft the judgement powers from components collected therein.

3) Interface - The Interface slot adds a proc on to each of your attacks that does various things based on what type you have in the slot. To unlock this, you need to gain incarnate experience from one of the iTrials, and then you can craft the judgement powers from components collected therein.

4) Destiny - This slot gives you the ability to create a PBAoE buff to you and those around you when you click it. It can range from healing to defense to mez protection. To unlock this, you need to gain incarnate experience from one of the iTrials, and then you can craft the judgement powers from components collected therein.

5) Lore - This slot allows you to choose to summon various kinds of temporary "pets" that will help you and boost your offensive/defensive capabilities, depending on which type you choose. To unlock this, you need to gain incarnate experience from one of the iTrials, and then you can craft the judgement powers from components collected therein.



To see which components you need for any given slot's abilities, click on the "Powers" tab over your enhancement tray, and then on "Incarnate Abilities." This will bring up a window which should give you some additional details on the various effects of each slot.


Edit -> Here's a guide that goes into a bit more detail: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=257011

Well, you're not really telling us what you're going for here. Are you looking to softcap defenses and still have high recharge? Are you looking to increase running speed at all? Be good at groups or soloing? Without knowing more about what you actually want out of it, it's tough to help you improve the build.

Still, I'd say that you've got too many ST attacks. You should be able to drop one and still have a good ST attack chain at higher levels. This can also free up some slots, since you're underslotted for Acc.

Slotting Earth's Embrace for Aegis is probably a waste. Why not 5-slot it with Doctored Wounds instead? Likewise, slotting Mud Pots with nothing but Procs is probably not the most efficient way to go. Increasing Acc, EndRed, and Damage will probably give you more bang for your buck. And getting a set in there can help you with Defense or Recharge, too.

And can you run Combat Jumping and Rooted at the same time?

The great part about a market is that we can show them that a price is too high by not buying something if it's too high. If nobody buys it at 500 points (and they really shouldn't, IMO), then maybe they'll lower it.

Also, something to keep in mind: if you have perma-hasten due to set bonuses or powers, you've got more recharge than Hasten gives you already.

1) In-game, under Menu -> Global Handle, there should be an option to change it. However, you can only do this once (unless the Devs decide to open it up again), so choose carefully.

2) www.paragonwiki.com has a lot of good information on it that nofuture used to have, and a lot more.
