ChaoticBolt

I have been getting a lot of crashes lately also from this game and its getting really frustrating. at first i thought it was cause i was doing incarnate trials but it also happens during regular missions. ive never gotten so many crashes before these latest updates. its really making me reconsider renewing my account

So ive recently come back to COH, been playin on and off for a long time, use to play with some in game friends but they have left. Ive cleaned most of my global friends list and am lookin for some new ones. I mostly play during nights and mornings and have a wide range of alts to play on.

Just finished going vigilante, once i get the patron power will i be able to go back to being a hero while keeping the patron power? cuz i read it say you will lose any allignment powers when switching, does that mean villain powers only if you stay villain/vigilante?

Wow that build looks great ele, thx for your advice! I do have a question about getting patron powers. I dont really play villains that much so do i have to make my hero a full villain or will vigilante work. and also where do i go to get the patron powers?

After some thinking, I wanna go with the scorpion armor routee cuz i was planning to make my main villain sometime soon, get some villain badges then switch back to hero, and also i agree that i dont want my character to look like a popcicle =P

There isnt a real goal in mind for what i want, some reasons I want to IO my main is because whenever i check another characters profile and under their powers its shows all the set bonuses they have and i think to myself "must be nice". Also one goal i do have is to have some good recharge cuz some blasters ive seen like on an ITF their nuke recharges really fast and they get to nuke every other mob while im still waiting for mine to recharge =( just some info if that helps at all as to what advice to give me =P

I dont mind respecing my build a bit, now that you mention it I dont use zapp a lot so i can swap that out, I have about 130 million influence to use, i already took some of satanic hamsters advice from his build and but some of positrons blast set in both thunderous blast and ball of lightening since the recipe's were kinda cheap. I do prefer hovering while blasting, but i also do run in for the aoe's and short circuit. umm i dont mind switching mastery builds, but im torn between the hoarfrost idea and def cap from the scorpion armor, both sound real good. Im not all that fluent in the numbers aspect of IO's, but i understand what you guys are sayin, and i really appreciate it. i'll get to d/l'n the build helper thing when i have free time to really dive into this, like this weekend.

for range people were saying devastation is for +hp and thunderstrike is +range def, what are the good IO sets for range and melee for my EM?

So with the new incarnate system in, ive been playing my main a lot more trying to get all the best stuff. I've usually just stuck to SO's but am now thinking about IO'ing out my main, i have a few hundred million influence on him to get started and buy the necessary IO's. but i dont know where to start. My build is as follows

Electric blast:
Charged bolt (6 slot)
lightening bolt (6 slot)
ball of lightening (6slot)
short circuit (6 slot)
aim (1 slot)
zapp (6slot)
tesla cage (4 slot)
voltaic sentinel (6 slot)
thunderous blast (6 slot)

Energy Melee:
power thrust (2)
energy punch (6)
build up (2)
bone smasher (6)
conserve power (1)
power boost (1)
total focus (6)

Pool powers:
hover (1)
fly(1)
hasten(3)
tp friend(1)

Epic electric mastery:
static discharge (2)
charged armor (4)
surge of power (2)
EM pulse (2)

My first time trying to IO a character so i dont know which sets are best to use, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you =)
