Athena Six

I have been stunned , and angry and sad . I Loved this MMO I fell in love with it the day I started playing...

But i cried when I Read Black Pebble's post I just want to reach out and hug the whole team. I am so sorry.

Oh I feel you hit it on the head with

If what is happening what I think is happening you will need to remove the top item first ( what ever is stacked on top of the item you want to delete)

If that does not work try grabbing one and dragging it to another room then let go.

Gosh, I'm the new girl but even I know about the Cottage Rule.

I Don't necessarily like Trip mine but It is a good power. As a trapper I lay the things down mid combat all the time when it's not being interrupted .
My Beamer well lay down a few blast the mob with your aoe as there melting from disintegration the rest stumble over your mines. Devices is a tactical power set not a face roll rawr give me xpz nao! power set.

Saying that I'd love for it to work more like the mines in Fall Out press the button toss it on the ground, but for that to happen and stay balanced either the damage would have to be reduced( and i love COH to much to make enemies of everyone by suggesting that!) or it's recharge increased

As for being ugly? well sure I admit for a mine it is not very attractive what with being flat and blinky and.. well flat.. I suggest using the power customization like I did and make the sensor lasers pink!

So they do not get the passive bonus, only the activation bonus?

So I read the posts where Hybrids are suppose to work for minions..and while I got the Assault boost common power.. my Pets did not.. at least not according to there attributes page. Am i missing something?

Are there any Hybrids that have actually been tested and had the results witnessed? I suppose if Assault does not work I will have to go for Support which i do not need nor want but of all of them it seems like the most likely to actually do something..

It's a great idea, but..It occurs to me any Enhancement you might want to break down would have been easy enough to find components for in the first place.

I felt a way to break down Incarnate powers back to there original components with maybe a penalty of randomly loosing one might be useful not needed but useful.

Well with My Staff/EA(who became such a beast she completely spoiled me!) and my Mastermind both at 50+ , Kinrad's Post got me to want to go back to work on my Claw/ELA..

Like him I prefer defense sets.. EA,SR,Shiled some of my favorites. It is mostly because they are cheap and I am poor! I wanted to do this on my own like I did for my other brute but resist sets just..make my head spin! So I Come for help.

I will Be honest this charcter was originally built after reading the CEBR post by Top Doc and she has helped support my Mains by acquiring tickets for rare salvage. Now it is her turn but I am still poor! The Kinetic combats and eradication alone in this build make me cry!

Now I am going to warn you, this build is NOTHING extraordinary There is NOTHING that sets it apart from the myriad of other builds posted like this in the last 6 years! No new tricks ,well except for the full set of Over Whelming force in Shockwave.

How ever she is SO fun to play I do not want to have her rotting in the AE digging up salvage..Some goals for her are..Itrials..Missions at 0/x8...and most of all No face planting and I want to do all that on a very limited budget no purples, no PvP IOs, Oblits, Posi's you get the picture! Truth be known I am not a very good farmer and even less of a good marketeer! I rely on merits for my needs and the occasional windfall recipe that I can sell.

Now my concerns about this build End Drain and Defense.. gosh that last was hard to do! but I manged to get it up to 43.2% S/L I'm hoping either this is enough or someone can help me find 2%.

I would like to thank everyone that has ever posted anything about Electric Armor because I sure as heck must have read it all!

Happy Birthday GG!

I totally knew earlier but i did not want to let on I saw it on your Deviant page.. not that I am a stalker or anything because I'm not..really..

My Plant/NA is only 14 and other than a levle 35 Ill/rad I am a complete newbie at trollers. What is sad is that -I- am about to give -you- some small advice.

Your did not take entangle this is one of your single target attacks slot it for damage

you woefully under slotted strangler I would 4 slot gaze in it Or might be a good place for that fancy ATO set.

I personally would slot roots for damage as well...It makes for a good AoE control/Damage power or optionally slot the ATO proc here and 5 slot the rest in vines

Spore cloud is ..ok.. but skip-able and slotted the way you have it .worthless

Entangling aura is.. questionable because well you have five forms of control already!

Most likely there is more. So many plant build out there I am sure you can find your own way.. Was'nt hard for me.. of course like I said I am only level 14 I guess I should not have been reading so much...

I -try- not to judge other player's skill, I focus on judging my own skill because ultimately that is all that matters to me. I do the best i can,I follow all the leaders instructions I dismiss my pets I ask questions, I read the wiki. I don't show up to a MoM Trial with red SOs! Most of all I don't freaking auto lock my healing aura! I Really could go on and on.. Last Night doing a Magi run I must have face planted 5 times.. I really am not sure what was eating me but you can count on the fact I will be looking that up!

All that is not to say I don't judge players at all..but I look more at attitudes and behavior, Like the guy that blasts everything away from me as my tanker Brute is taunting or that guy Bill spoke of that AoE Immb everything to me that is a issue of consideration not skill.

When I played WoW I loved to play Hunters and I was darn good at it, and it can be an amazing class capable of amazing things.. But at some point some where some group decided that all Hunters were "skillless" noobs and the class earned the name Huntard and you were a Huntard no matter how awesome you were.

EDIT: Opps forgot a emote in all that, It was said with a happy smile I was in no way attacking anyone else

I can now add Malaise in the MoM trial to the list with his cute fluffy pink puddles! God I hate that guy!

To be honest I do not remember if I was hovering or not, the darn things seemed to be everywhere! It felt like i was in a pinball machine... ding ding dingdingding, compounded by the fact I was the only taunter (I was on my MM) come on melee folks take your taunts!

Mostly what I have started doing in high mobility, high puddle missions is just shifting from hover to sprint. A lot of times you need to get out of those things fast and for some reason they always land on me.. I think it is because I'm a MM but that is another post!

So I Did Apex last night for the first time..(you see where this post is going)..We get to the end and I do not think any of us had any experience with the task force so were fighting Battle maiden the blue flames appear I'm hovering and few others are hovering.... I'm scooting around avoiding the flames suddenly I take a crap load of damage and face plant OW! I come back swords attack me I fly up take a crap load of damage face plant. Third time I'm standing over as far away as I can get trying to summon my minions..no flames in sight suddenly.. you guessed it, crap load of damage face plant!

So I am laying there in the rubble making this face And suddenly I remember Keyes Reactor and the words " NO FLYING!" I Realized what was going on all us flyers were making the flame patches appear in the sky!

Now I love my flight but gosh.. If so much end game stuff has these bizzaro patches of floating death that force me to cut my hover (and loose 2-5% Defense) Is it just better to take CJ? What about hover blasters? do you guys just train yourself to not pull up when you in danger? Because my first instinct is to fly up when I'm being pounded on! Oh and not just end game but I realized that the bubbles of doom in DFB might act in the same way. Some times you just get creamed but no bubbles ever appeared!

EDIT: I Also wanted to ask.. has anyone else heard of hover changes in I24 like a speed increase or did I dream that?
