I am, apparently, also getting an OpenGL error that causes CoH to crash. It shouldn't be the temperatures, they run high, but not abysmally so. 60C core temps and 80C gpu temps. I'll pull the graphics settings back a bit, and see what I can do about updating the sound drivers, maybe. I have NO idea how to downclock my RAM, and I haven't done a memtest. I guess the memtest is next, although I haven't had problems anywhere else or with any other game - and my wife plays some high end FPS games, so theoretically if something were to stress the card/ram, it would be Crysis.

It shouldn't be the power supply, I've got a Thermaltake 800w power supply in this thing, and I'm PRETTY sure it's not the temp, but I've got some more experiments to do with that.

I've recently decided to pick the game back up, and I have been having what seems to be two separate issues. I have no idea what triggers either one. I updated the graphics drivers (clean install to the newest ones), I cleaned the system, defragged, checked for viruses with pc tools spyware doctor and avg free, I ran ccleaner to check for registry issues and recovered 1.52 gigs of memory from temp files. BOTH problems still occur.

The first is a random "The video display drivers have stopped working, and been forced to recover" which drops me back to the desktop.

The second is a random hardlock with loud sound (possibly a sound loop, but it's so short it just sounds like nGnGnGnGnGnG).

No clue. I can't get either of them to repeat on a regular basis, either, they just dump.

It has just occured to me that maybe it's a temperature issue. I'll be checking that. Anyway, here's Hijack This's report.

It all depends on what fits into your attack chain. Miladys_Knight said it first, and I'll elaborate.

The point at which said AoE attack sits on your bar unused is the point at which it's too much. AoE vs. Single target, AoE has potential to do far more for less effort in any situation except vs. the single hard target. DPA and DPE are almost always better (when calculating for multiple targets), and at very high recharge, it's all about DPA and DPE.

With that said, my Fire/Fire blaster has about 170% global recharge and I dropped Combustion and Burn because I never used them. At high recharge, Breath/Ball/FSC did the trick for upwards of +2 minions, and by the time FSC finishes going off, Breath is ready to go again.

The APPs offer opportunites for gameplay style changes. They tend to offer a hold, which lets you solo lock down problem mobs like the infamous Sapper, and some way to deal with catastrophic failure, along with some debuffs. Munitions mastery is considerably weaker as an APP because it's shield is almost worthless in spite of being an auto, but it makes up for it with MORE DAMAGE, which blasters already have plenty of, usually. Fire Epic is pretty "standard" (hold, Shield, RotP for Catastrophic Failure), but Ice is very Popular (hibernate, Heal, and Snowstorm), and so is Energy (Personal Force Field, and mini-Unstoppable).

Blapping just means hanging out in melee, for the most part. That involves using secondaries since the melee powers at blapper damage scale are more powerful than a ranged equivalent, for the most part.

As far as the rest: If you're not taking the fire swords, then you might consider another secondary. The thing /Fire does best is pump out melee damage, and it offers very little else. Personally, I say embrace the melee, and the catastrophic failure that sometimes results. Then punish people for killing you a la Rise of the Phoenix.

Finally, you REALLY NEED to focus on something when you start to IO a toon out. Do you want to be tough and survivable? softcap your defenses. Do you want to be the top damage on a team? crank your regen. Either way, pick something and stick with it, general overall effectiveness is better served by specialization.

It comes down to efficiency and playstyle, I guess. I hate people running out of the aura, even if I can kill them before they exit the slow, if I can't do it IN MY INTIAL ATTACK STRING I don't want the power. Its the control aspects that you value that makes the power worthless to me.

You can hit a group of, say, Warriors from a distance and then, if you're running BA over HF, then they all run into melee range and die to Fire Sword Circle. If you're running HF over BA, they slow at the edge of the radius, try to run out of the radius, think the better of closing, and start shooting again. I don't want that.

Also, if you're going to frankenslot Hot Feet, remember to slot Microfilaments.

I think you're going to be better off picking a different set and/or AT, personally.

You've stated the desire to play a char that's somewhat tough, and chosen a blaster. You hate swap ammo, which is a specific strength of Dual Pistols, the ability to change away from a resisted damage type. You could only possibly consider Munitions and only body armor / Surviellance, for concept reasons, but your char's got a Fire secondary... leave it colored orange and pick up the fire App. (Any other APP is better than Munitions without LRM.), and your IO build is all over the place without focusing on increasing any survival.

As for the build:

Anything can be softcapped to one position and/or damage type. If those are paired on the bonuses (Smash/Lethal/Melee, Fire/Cold/Aoe, Energy/NegEnergy/Ranged), you can probably softcap all three.

...sometimes, however, it's REALLY not worth it on characters that don't have some modicum of defense on their own. This is because sometimes it's necessary to pick specific powers over others that would be more useful for their IO slotting possibilities.

Why is everyone acting like it's an "either or" situation with Typed and Melee defense?

My Fire Tank went with both. All of the sets that give one of those also give half that to the other. I slotted 6x Obliteration in Blazing Aura, Consume, Fire Sword Circle, Rise of the Phoenix, and Combustion. I slotted 4x Kinetic Combat in Scorch, Fire Sword, Boxing, Brawl, and Greater Fire Sword.

That's 28% defense to S/M/L, combined with slotted Combat Jumping, Weave, Steadfast +3%, and Maneuvers (the only leadership toggle I took), I find I don't get hit much.

When I do get hit, I have enough recharge that my Healing Flames is up in about 17 seconds. (Obliteration has the 5% rech in it, and Combat Jumping, Weave, and Maneuvers all take LotG +Rech)

The other consideration for basic survivability on a Fire Tank is actually recharge. You're more scrapper than tanker, Fire Armor's the most offensively oriented set, and getting that heal up quicker does more to boost your survivability than any other power in Fire Armor. (50% heal every 20 seconds equates to a lot of resistance/defense but I'll leave other more math oriented forumites to prove or disprove the point.) Getting Footstomp up faster can only help you, too.

If you can get both S/L and M to 38% cheaply, then I wouldn't sweat it too much past that. I, personally, would not favor one over the other, if it's a choice between EITHER S/L OR M, then I'm going Recharge.

Couple of things I notice.

1) You've slotted Phalanx Fighting. Unless I miss my guess, the passive bonus is unable to be enhanced. As you stated you were a farmer, I am assuming that you aren't teamed, and there's no point in slotting Phalanx Fighting further than 1 slot. (Luck of the Gambler: Def/+Rech)

2) You've six slotted True Grit (a good thing) with Harmonized Healing (a bad thing). Harmonized healing is a cheap set, I know, and it's good at what it does in powers that are primarily heals. You'll get more mileage out of this particular passive power with 3x Aegis (keeping a 1.56% bonus to AoE defense from the three slot bonus) and 3x Miracle (For the extra hps and recovery)

3) You've also six slotted Deflection (a good thing) with Red Fortune. I'm a fan of Red Fortune, so I can't really say that that's a BAD thing, but the power's also a resist smash/lethal.

4) You've got a -KB proc in tough. Not that big a deal, but if you're going to do just one, slot Blessing of the Zephyr -KB in Super Speed, and save the slot. Better yet, see if you can free up some slots for 3x Aegis or some Reactive Armor in tough as well.

5) You've taken taunt but neglected one of the most awesome sets ever. Mocking Beratement. With four out of five set bonuses being VERY useful to our build, it's almost a crime not to include them!

Now, that's without changing powersets around. I know a lot of people are very attached to what they run, and they run it for a reason. My Elec/SD build is a bit different from yours, but that's because I went a slightly different way with it. You have built on a budget for a defense capped farmer, but I went a step further and my farmer also built for +recharge. Here's what I run.

I can, and have, done both at the same time without damaging a build too much. One's WP/Fire, and I've got a theoretical WP/Dark that is actually a couple of threads over in "What's your Regen?"

The thing to remember is that you end up shorting your melee set in order to make it work. On a Fire, that's really not a problem, Combustion and Fire Sword Circle get the job done all day long, and on Dark, there's several situational powers that I didn't take. On a WM, you could probably go with about four of your favorites and make it workable.

The other thing to remember is that it's easy to slot things like Obliteration and Luck of the Gambler to pick up +recharge in the mix, too. The builds work because those four attacks make a contiguous attack chain and any more are unneccessary.

Out of boredom I designed an "ultimate survivability" tank using WP. Soft-capped, HP capped, and as much regen as I could possibly cram in.

Regenerates 154 hp/second with saturated RttC, discounting double stacking.
Regenerates 96 hp/second with 1 mob in RttC.

If you want, you can break the 277 hp (14.8%) heal from Siphon Life down into regen capability as well. 4.26sec recharge, 1.93sec animation, is 14.8% hps per 6.19 seconds, averaging about another 44hps per second.

Assuming no misses, perfect saturation at all times, and your attack chain involving siphon life on auto, you're looking at 198 hp/sec, or a little under 17 seconds from 0% to full hps. Which is, of course, utterly ridiculous unless you're doing something absurd like solo tanking the 54 AVs in Recluse's Victory.

So, I thought I would throw my two cents in. When farming, as a blaster, you need to be able to kill things very, very quickly. Hot Feet is better damage for an animationless damage source, BUT, A) It's VERY expensive, and B) it's avoid mechanic, quite frankly, annoyed me. I would very much rather have the warriors I'm fighting rushing forward to get into melee with me, and staying in my Blazing Aura for tick after tick of damage, than trying to get away. Here's the build I use to farm. I farm demons and warriors, although I'm still experimenting with settings.

I managed to soft-cap my Fire/Fire/Flame blaster to Melee and Smash/Lethal, but it was at the cost of almost all my single target efficacy. Here's my personal build. This toon is my main, and I too am a TF *****. With that said, though, I'm a suicide blapper.

When on a team, I am perfectly capable of standing back, being buffed, and holding my aggro down to manageable levels so that the overall damage is steady and insane.

...I just don't. I don't expect heals or buffs, I Breath / Ball / FSC all at point-blank range, eventually, I die. It happens. I stock purples, keep popping them regularly, and have a grand old time till it's time to Rise (of the Phoenix) to the next occasion. With this build, a few purples soft-caps your defense for 30 seconds, and if you haven't killed the mob off before then, then something's wrong...

Bear in mind, though, that A) I haven't played since I14 and B) My playstyle is insane. I am tolerated by my friends, who have gotten used to me, but I am LOOKING for my next opportunity to hit Rise of the Phoenix. This may or may not be for you. While buffed with some +DEF from teammates, though, this is a murder machine. (And all it takes to softcap is 20% from teammates, which isn't TERRIBLY hard to get.)

Here's my Invuln/Fire build based on the same principles... I wanted to be as hard a target as Invuln could possibly be, while at the same time doing what I love doing most, AoE damage all day, all the time.

This concentrates First on building recharge, and second building the defense numbers. I chose to not take Resist Physical Damage (although I've got a banked respec, I might take it in place of Resist Elements), and uses Fireball instead of Taunt to achieve a similar effect...
