Hippy Bathday Em Pee x

Adding my 2 inf, I am a huge fane of DP/TA. True you get some very slight redraw issues, but the -def of TA, the holds, debuffs and, in particular, the oil slick arrow which can be set on fire with incendiary ammo, makes it, for me, a pretty groovy pairing.

A lot of people say incendiary or normal ammo is he way forward, but I've found that in a team with faster attack animations the poison ammo is a better choice. I haven't experimented too much, but I am starting to find some great uses for the slows in ice ammo.

I just hit 50, and have absolutely no endurance issues, even with 5 toggles running, so can up the damage with musculature alpha and add more damage with reactive.

The big issue is hardly any mez protection. I have relied on breakies for the journey to 50, and will be grabbing clarion as soon as possible. The only incarnate choice I haven't made is Lore pets and Judgement power. My concept leads me to Nemesis for Lore, but judgement I am still not with a clue.

I was on earlier and saw a significant amount of peoplehangine about new Mercy, however I haven't grown enough to check out later zones. I almost exclusively play redside and really hope the population doesn't dwindle.

I rolled a few new alts on Exalted. It's cool for finding low level redside teams, when these villains get higher I may transfer them over to Victory, but it's all on a wait-and-see basis right now. I reserved a VG name, just in case though.

Hellshade, my storm/demons MM, has slowly grown his/her ability to summon elements from his/her home hell dimension. This now includes brimstone added to all attacks (Reactive) and personal brimstone torrent (Pyronic), Storm Elementals, and Ozone for a clear mind and renewed energy (Clarion and Cardiac).

Aaron Shade, my night widow and silent warrior, is the incarnate of Idomeneus (a Cretan warrior). With the aftersight of the long dead, he has enabled Aaron to use his strong warrior willpower to twist the power of the netherworld to his will. He can use it to heal (Rebirth and Cardiac) and destroy (Void and Reactive).

Sneezing Panda, mt DP/TA Corr, is a normal human who has been pushed over the edge by that one internetdrama too many. He is the incarnate of nerdrage worldwide, and this is evident in his attacks (musculature, reactive) the clarity of mind rage gives you (clarion). As he only pinged 50 earlier today, I haven't quite figured out how to Judgement and Lore him appropriately.

I like the new missions, but I can see where you are coming from Samuel. Sometimes as a lowbie villain I feel a bit pushed around. But then I exact revenge at a higher level mwah hah ahah

The only name I really wanted was "Shade". I haven't got/won't pay inf, but will bake you a cake if you release it to me.

Hullo everyone!

My name is Chris, I play pretty much exclusively Villains, and my home server is Victory. I'm kinda seeing Exalted as a holiday home at the moment. You can get me in game @Shade Savage. I'm in the UK so play standard BST times, although I am after on pretty late.

I do like to solo, although very rarely turn down a non-blind team invite. I'm a big fan of Stalkers, MMs, Corruptors and SoAs. I'm trying ti get into Brutes, but have trouble keeping my interest up.

Nice one MP - btw how did the second run go last night? Success?

Me too, Bullet Rain and Hail of Bullets. it wa slate last night so it didn't really register until I saw this post.

Global - @Shade Savage

available for weekends - yes

Thanks for all the caffeine - I have visited your convenient establishment a few times now after a hard day in the fields. The service is impeccable.

Excellent - thanks for this!

This is a good point. I don't know much about other servers, but Victory redside can sometimes feel deathly quiet.

Hey guys! SO I am pretty happy with this build for my NW. I originally had Smoke Grenade, but hardly used it so took Placate instead, and now I leave him in your hands for some criticism

I also notices how some posts have links to .mxd files and show the build in an easy to ready format, (example) I had a search and a play around as I would like to do this too, can I also get the lowdown for this?

Cheers in advance for both!

Hello, I have searched this thread for Hurricane, from Storm Summoning, couldn't find a mention so could someone tell me what it is called so I may silence it? Thanks in advance

Just to chime in - I have been having the same problems, and going spare until I saw this thread. I have 11.6, will wait to see if the update today (20.5) makes any difference, then I will do the driver version hopscotch as suggested.

Only for Free players, same as Controllers and Doms due to the pets.

Oh but hang on - NEW SHINY STUFF - now I am conflicted

http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/gam..._overview.html

Uh oh it is doooom!

Love it! But when did Ronald McDonald attain superhero status?

Nice! I thought he could be doing better - I will have a play around and bear in mind the ED stuff, see what I can come up with.

Thanks guys.

Hi everyone. This is my very first character I made about 2 years ago when I first joined. I've got a bit of a soft spot for playing him, and have tweaked his build quite often. He is very fun to play but I have a feeling I could get a bit more out of him but just not sure how, so does anyone have any advice?

I get a bit lost with mids, but here is the export:

Thanks in advance!

I did exactly the same thing with Musculature the first time I went T4 on a character too, and felt utterly stupid once I noticed the slider.
