Looks great. Something to ponder on Hibernate is if you find you dont ever need to use it, except for maybe an unfortunate/unseen retsu crash, you may prefer to slot it for end recovery.
Getting the born in battle and high pain threshold accolades is all that's needed to put you at the hp cap, a useful place to be ^.^ -
In my going rogue pvp design, i sacrificed super jump for tactics so I can hunt stalkers in zonal, hehe.
-
Having enough +rech for perma or near perma Dull Pain will mean you'll be at the HP cap (1606.4, the same as a defender/blaster/troller), this will improve your regen powers as well as adding to your survivability. I disliked tough/weave on my regen stalker, so swapped it out for shadowmeld, with the +global rech i have for my perma dull pain, it's up every 30secs or so. I really like it ^.^ 3 numina's in health and fasthealing will give you some +hp and regen for when DP is down if you decide not to try to get it perma

As you can tell by the month long no reply, No one is willing to go through the hard work and effort of designing you a build for nothing.
If you'd like to try and design one yourself, and post it here, i'm sure we'll all chip in to smooth it out and tell you where you're going wrong, or offer alternative slotting to help your build.
Put in the ground work and people will be more receptive and willing to offer help. -
Not a bad build I'd take out one slot from Kuji-In Rin and place it in hasten, it'll still be up perma and you'll benefit from 16 seconds faster rech hasten, which will benefit all your powers. I'd drop Recall Friend unless you reeeeally like the utility and get combat jumping instead,you could still whack the 2 BOTZ in there this would also push you to soft cap for melee and ranged defense.
Looking at Kuji In sha, it's really overslotted, you have 3 doctored wounds, but you need none of the set bonuses. either go for 5 doctored wounds for the recharge bonus, or think about replacing with 3 numina's to get the +regen, +hp (pretty much how you've slotted Hibernate) I've noticed that even with all the +hp accolades you're a fair distance from the hp cap, so you might like to do this
Replace the end/rech lotg in Hide with the Defense one, Hide costs no endurance, but does get to AOE defense cap on it's own, so it'll be much better with the defense io. (this also gets you to the defense cap without swapping recall friend for combat jumping, but i reeeally think you should get CJ :P)
I'm usually quite happy with the range of placate in pve. So you could drop the slot with the +range IO and whack it in Hide for the +HP or so you can drop the Kismet +6% global accuracy unique into hide, which you may find useful
Maybe think about dropping 2 slots from Water spout, whacking them in stamina so you can 5 piece the performance shifter set, I think you'd prefer the bonuses you get from that, but no worries if you don't wanna
I'm not a big fan of some of the powers you've picked, but i respect you wanted them as they're fun for you to play, so i've not looked at replacing powers only enhancing them, hope some of this helps! as for pvp, I can help you with an RV build, but that's about it, hehe. -
Quote:Blinding gets my vote, if you can eventually afford the coercive persuasion set, it fits nicely in there, with awesome bonuses. the Confuse part of the power is only a "chance to" of 50% to critters, i cant recall the numbers for chance on players. Coercive persuasion helps with this, as it has a 33% chance to confuse IO as part of the set.Originally Posted by Turbo_Starr
I mostly PvP and Im in the middle of retooling. I am torn between these two powers because I dont know how good if at all Blinding Powder is. I know it confuses the foe, but to the extent I am not sure.
Summon Widow helps thematically, but being a stalker, obviously I wont bring her out unless I need assistance. I guess it would be more or less for the IO slotting.
Any advise help would be appreciated. -
Quote:well i'm at 24% dmg bonus and 50hp below cap, so not too worried there, but i get your point. my main issue is my AS only has one proc in, not sure if i should sacrifice the 2.5% ranged def from there in order to proc it outOriginally Posted by _Lith_
Thats ridiculous. I think a strong point to go to is in the high 50s to mid 60s. After that the DR curve is just too steep. That extra 20 or so defense after 60 just isnt adding much.
You could spend those slots getting better hp or more +dmg. Will think on it, thanks for the input
"If you're still PvPing this far post-i13, welcome to the asylum." I am indeed, MAD. -

80% puts you at the softcap in PVP IIRC.

How much ranged def is too much? got 80.2% on my build so far, worried i've gone too mad...

Quote:It would except there's no .prv file for starters. I've made sure there's no hidden files etc, and it's definitely not there. when i run the renamed cohupdater it just says connecting and never does :/Originally Posted by Kallandra
Is there a way of getting the updater to work for the EU please? I've tried all this and NOTHING is working.
Edit: For EU peoples this should work..
1. Go into the folder where CoH is, for example c:\program files\city of heroes
2. Delete the .prv file in there as per instructed by TheOcho
3. Rename the cohupdater.EU to just cohupdater (if you're in Vista click all the appropriate YES buttons as per normal)
4. Right click and run as Admin if in Vista, or just double click cohupdater
5. When it asks where to put the files (as it's now wanting to install the US version) just say NO! and Cancel.. quit out of the Updater.
6. Go back into the program folder and rename the file back to cohupdater.EU and run it again.
Hopefully that should work!
I'm guessing this could just be to do with the volume of people trying to connect to the server too. -
Any updates on fixes? I've tried the redname idea, as well as several others and i'm still stuck.

I really wouldnt worry about losing out on Power Thrust as a damaging attack, most people use it for it's kb. In the past i've used it to mule the kinetic crash set, giving you kb protection and a nice global rech bonus. You've got plenty of better melee atks in EM and you should have more than enough kb in your primary to negate the loss of power thrust.

You're probably going to want a bit more ranged defense (I see you have extra slots, put one of them into Blinding Powder to 6-slot the purple confuse set, as the 6th bonus is 5% ranged defense). Biggest thing I noticed is that even with all your accolades, you'll still be about 30 HP short of the cap (1606)... you should try and get there if at all possible. You've only got 4 points (!?) of KB protection, you should have at least 41 and up to 45 if you can fit it in. Should have the Kismet unique in Hide. Take Invisibility instead of Grant Invis. You don't need Total Focus (AS, ET, and Sharks should be all you need for attacks). If you could squeeze a bit more damage in you'd be set.
Cheers for the advice, getting rid of TF means i'll have a few more slots to mess around with to try and get the bonuses needed. I've taken Acro instead of TF, totally forgot about how much -kb i'd need! I think i've been focusing on Recovery a bit too much maybe so i'm shuffling round set bonuses now
Will repost when I think i've sorted it, hehe. -
Hey hey, I'm currently in the process of levelling and designing an EM/nin with PVP in mind, I have a rough build to show you, if you have any hints/tips for me. It's not finished and i've got 3 slots i've not placed yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S How much defense should i be aiming for, bearing in mind the DR when in pvp? As it'll effect what sets and where i put the remaining slots
thanks in advance!

I'm finding the tanks with Earth mastery spamming stone prison and fossilize quickly negates Shadowmeld if you've not popped it beforehand, we've had a few nights with lots of tanks in RV over here on union.
-
Just wanted to check how you were unlocking Super Speed? By the looks of your join date, i reckon it's the Vet reward, hehe. Sorry if this sounds patronising, just wanted to check.

Was awesome fun, my 2nd successful raid, looking forward to the 3rd on the 13th feb!

I suggest contacting sgt mp lawrence ingame as he is one of the raid leaders.

I will be farming EoE's on friday at 2-3pm GMT. IF you'd like to join, send me an ingame email to Crowd Pleaser, or offline msg stating if you'll join me or not
Also, if I could hook up with someone to talk me through what i missed at the run through, i would greatly appreciate it
-
Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad! I'll be around on wednesday for the spawning. as for EOE's, i'll wait till we meet up on the wednesday to sort out who can hang around one of the nights to farm for them, i know have about 20 left in the base. I'll fill up the base with them as much as i can, then as team leader my team will have access to my base and the insps and collect as many as they want (must remember to allow access to everyone, lol)
I hope you feel much better soon! -
Quote:Nay imo. The range of this power is too unpredictable with people dropping out of it plus the -tohit can be a little annoying. My experience as an empath on the past few raids showed that at times, i would be darting about in order to rez non team members when i had a spare rez going (my emp has 2 rezzes thanks to the dayjob accolade)Originally Posted by Zoph
One thing:
Group flight, yay or nay? I'm gonna be squishing flight in there for sure, just wanna know if group flight is awesomeness for raids or if it doesn't matter, because I've never seen much use for it elsewhere (stealth/invis+flight+recall friend gets everyone to the needed places in my regular playstyle).
I don't think your build will be too tight, as you should only take 3/4 atks as healing and buffing is what you'll spend all of your time doing, with no time to atk really. My emp has Super speed and super jump (I found fly to be too slow, just personal preference) and phase, with 3 atks from the rad set and all the empathy skills. -
Quote:I'd personally make sure you have your heals 6 slotted and optimised for heal/rech and a bit of end redux ( I quite like 5 doctored wounds, cheap and decent bonuses), I dont think i can say anything that you wouldn't have thought of yourself, as you're quite a smart guyOriginally Posted by Zoph
I'd like to target my secondary build specifically at stuff like this, anyone got any advice towards how my emp/dark will be most efficient here? I'd think about grabbing phase too, so you can escape out of LoS should you get targetted. Also i'd grab Recall Friend. If the build is gona be specifically for the raid, i'd look at 2 slotting rez for rech too. Slot Fortitude for defense as opposed to +ToHit. Oh and i'd go Power Mastery for Power Boost, for tasty heal others so you can avoid using absorb pain too much, hehe.
Tbh, i can't think of much you'd need to slot differently for the Hami raid than normal pve/Tfing. Everything i've said above pretty much applies to normal PVE, hehe. Sorry if any of it came across as patronising
-
I'm up for this Will be on my Shield/SS tank, Crowd Pleaser. he's fully setted if that's any use to ya
Have done a few hami raids on my emp, so it's not too new to me
