    Out of all the myriad reasons that CoH has ruined other MMOs for me, the support powers and ATs will be what I miss the most.

    The huge variety of primary and secondary power combinations along with being able to actually fight and not just watching green health bars were revolutionary. I've got my share of tanks, scrappers, some brutes, a few blasters, some masterminds, but my heart was always firmly rooted in Defender, Controller, Corruptor land.

    Celestia was a Grav/Emp Troller during beta, but on day one I made her into FF/Psi Defender. She never got played as much as she deserved.

    I have played on Guardian since the day the server opened and have met and fought beside some of the finest folk. I'm so deeply saddened by today's announcement. It hasn't sunk in that in just a short time it will all be over.

    Guardian players past and present, thanks for all the incredible memories. Keep fighting the good fight.

    Devs past and present you set the bar so very very high for all other MMORPGs. Thank you for the years of fun adventures in Paragon City.

    I think you are all barking up the wrong tree.

    In addition to the animation times getting some reductions, I believe that a new build up mechanic is being added to Dual Pistols as well.

    I really enjoy my Rad/Pain Corruptor. She's great solo and supporting teammates. I made some specific choices with hold procs and status resists that I wanted to try, and they work great with her good resists and so much self healing.

    And you get to the cherry on top of that sundae doing just about anything you want as you cripple foes with debuffs and controls, while tossing some damage yourself with spectral wounds, blind and a patron aoe.

    I get giddy just thinking about it. Moreso when I think of adding incarnate pets to my amassed forces... you'll be like a mastermind without bodyguard and the fine pet commands but with much more personal damage, control, buffs and debuffs.
    I seriously considered going for a Patron pet. It was a very tempting idea.

    Here's the IO build I'm using. Very happy with it.

    I skipped it on my Illusion/Dark, and don't miss it. I did however take Hibernate using an End Mod IO in the base slot, so I could get Ice Storm.
  11. CelestiaCoH
    I can not stop playing my Illusion/Dark troller. I was able to get her to 50 during double xp weekend, and she's just a couple of IOs away from being complete. This combo is great solo and on teams.

    If you can afford to get PA to permanent or close to permanent, there's literally no downtime. It is delightful.
  12. CelestiaCoH
    Ubie
  13. CelestiaCoH
    Give Traps a twirl. Summon force field generator, drop your acid mortar and start shooting.
  14. CelestiaCoH
    I've gotten an Ice/Time corr up to 30, and she's a joy to play.
  15. CelestiaCoH
    My demon/time mm is about to hit 42, and she's been a joy to play from level 1. I've been playing her as a tankermind using provoke, and it is almost too easy with the stacking slows, stacking holds, heals and resist debuffs flying around during fights. You can drop all four of the pet defense and resist uniques easily into the build for even stronger demons. The only downside is the huge size of the pets.
  16. CelestiaCoH
    I noticed today that when I zone, the inspiration window moves to the center of the screen upon zoning or loading a new map. If the window is anchored, this does not occur.
  17. CelestiaCoH
    Poison would really benefit from an aoe blind power and wider splash area for the debuffs.
  18. CelestiaCoH
    I'm running a DP/Time corr and loving it. Stylish and brings a lot of utility solo and grouped.
  19. CelestiaCoH
    I find my Widow can burn through tip missions very quickly.
  20. CelestiaCoH
    Last night, I went to buy an IO recipe from the Hero Merit vendor in Fort Trident only to discover that I am not getting all the of the recipes to show up for purchase. Anyone else getting this?

    I've been buying them to equip on my heroes since they were implemented, and never had any issue. Getting this on multiple sets and some are not showing up at all.

    I have no 'hide' options for recipes enabled, and am looking at the correct available level range for the sets. Any thoughts or help?
  21. CelestiaCoH
    I recently discovered the joy of VEATS. Got my widow to 50 and loved every minute of the ride up the level ladder. She's scrappy, and with double assault and widow leadership powers, she has great self and team buffs along with perma Mind Link, Stealth, Placate. She can do some crazy stuff! I can speed through tips solo with the smoke grenade and stealth. Now working on a 'huntsman' bane build, and having a blast with her too.

    Give veats a try. I can't believe I waited so long to try them out.

    I've gotten my Thugs/Pain mm up to 44 and love her. I'm playing her as a tankermind with Temp Invuln to stack with World of Pain. Delicious!

    I find myself tossing Painbringer on the arsonist more often than the Bruiser, as Sparky has a deathwish and Painbringer keeps him up and running.
  23. CelestiaCoH

    Animal pack ?

    POST-ACTION

  24. CelestiaCoH
    I went more than a little corruptor crazy with GR. I've got a Fire/Dark, Fire/Traps, and a Fire/Rad. All seem quite capable and are fun to play solo and teamed.
  25. CelestiaCoH
    For what it is worth, this is the one I've been using for months and she is so sturdy it is bordering on ridiculous. This is my all time favorite hero to run TFs because she brings so much to the team, and rarely is defeated.
