    Adding a LOT more HP to that build will do more for you than anything, the more HP you have, the more HP/sec regen you have. My /regen has almost 400 more HP pre DP than that, and for Zone, that helps more than anything.

    Spines is great for zone due to the range, but it lacks any serious damage. MA, Fire, BS etc... all do WAY more damage to single targets and thats what PvP is all about.

    Also as MrLiberty said, Barb Swipe is FAR better than Lunge, it's a nonstop melee attack you can just leave on Auto. I have won almost ALL of my duels vs melee toons using only that attack, it is a chain all by itself.

    Tough and Resilience are a must, any damage you can resist you can think of as more regen, if you regen 45 hp/sec and are taking 95 HP/sec damage and you can reduce the damage received, it's in theory the same as adding regen.

    DR nerfs all that recharge in Zone, 90-100% is almost overkill. I would tweak it for more HP's if I was you.


    But, maybe you shouldnt listen to me, people think my build is retarded, untill they pick a fight, then they ask how the **** I built it =D Heck, I even have 6 slotted quills =/

    This is extremely annoying, wish they would either romove it totally, or change it to what has been suggested, I thought it was a bug for a while too...

    [QUOTE=Dahjee;2673692]Oh I forgot about a third group... those that will stay in a zone and never leave to get insp... and never take advantage of all the npcs around the that will drop them.QUOTE]



    That's me, I am too lazy to leave zone for insps, and as a stalker I dont like comming out of hide to get ganked by 3 blasters, 2 defenders, 4 scrappers and a tank, all because I wanted to get an insp drop....lol however I still manage about a 10/1 K/D ratio.. so meh....

    You, sir, amaze me.
    Did you forget about test?

    I lol'd at how true that is... I can name a person of each type on Virtue.

    There is something to be said for teamwork, and using Vent, TS or whatever sure makes a HUGE difference.

    I have no idea how to get more HP out of my /wp mind showing me a build that does so I can get some ideas, and how do you get 42 KB protect?

    I have many PvP sets on hand, from "back when" and some on other toons I am going to steal.

    Part of the issue I keep having is the no more than 5 of the same bonus rule. Also I can't find in Mds where it shows totals like 2400hp or w/e just the %'s
  9. Empathika
    Ever since I started this game I wished we could have at least 2 powers on auto... Hasten/Mez protect, Hasten/brawl for a brute to keep fury maxed, etc...


    *sigh*

    hmm, I have seen a few that are near godly... and I dont want another SR or Regen, I have both as scrappers, I get ragged on a lot over the regen and the SR is rather boring.

    This is my second villian!! I wanna smash! lol


    Anyway, I still am fighting with Mids... I hate this program, it's smarter than me!

    There another issue, why should we NEED Phase or hibernoob. I refuse to take either, I dont mind gettin' ganked on my regen scrapper, my SR scrapper, my fire blaster, my ice/rad troller, my Dark Def, my MM, my... you get the point, because I enjoy the fight, and normally I have a good K/D ratio.

    TS, DR suck, Devs need to fix this **** they call PvP. And I just started to PvP, never experienced I12 or earlier, was PvE only untill a month and a half ago and even I think it sucks.... omg I wish we were all as capable as we are in PvE...
  13. Empathika
    Definitely more PvP based, thats for sure. Hmm, now how to up the HP and regen then.

    TY Tonality.

    I am trying to build a FM/WP Brute in mids, but it's all guess work and I don't seem to be having much luck. I see a lot of SS/WP brute builds in here and cant seem to mod them for FM.

    She is currently lvl 22, but I want a lvling plan so I dont have to respec over and over, that gets costly.

    Cost is of no importance, I have a few toons I can raid and recently got a few drops in RV with my MM worth a 1.5 to 2 billion each.

    Here is what I have so far (sad I know)

    I would like to stick with those attacks (single target only, and high DPS)

    Would love to have both SS and SJ, but dont think thats possible being that I need utmost survivability.


    Critique anyone?

    My latest attempt at modding one of those builds, any opinions anyone? Where can I improve on this?

    It's a start!!

    Thank you both for the reply's, and tyvm for the builds. Tinkering with them now

    I am currently wanting to respec my thugs/dark MM and play the "tankermind" role.

    I havent found a decent build yet and after many many hours of frustration with mids (dont ask, I seem to be a retard with that proggie) I cannot seem to get the build I have been looking for.

    I was attempting to get my M/R/A defense to the softcap (which i read about on here somewhere but cannot find it again) but it seems I cant make one with available sets. there are many sets listed in both mids and WW/BM that just do not exist. ARGG!!

    Anyone have any min/max builds they would like to share? Once I have something to start with, I am sure I can tweak it to my style/preference.


    TY!!

    PhysX?

    POST-ACTION

    I was wondering why I cannot enable PhysX in the game when I have an Nvidia GPU with physX.

    It is enabled in my drivers, but the option is greyed out in the game. =(

    Gravewalker, your post is the best post on this entire thread. Enough to stop this all, any more posting against THIS post of yours is just flaming from exlpointers. I'd give you 10 stars if i was able to!

    IAW COH Rules of Conduct:

    You will not exploit any bug in City of Heroes and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug ( bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits ) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of City of Heroes . Bugs should be promptly reported via 'Ask A Question' at http://support.cityofheroes.com.

    It is my opinion to gain experience without risk is unnatural and is therefore a bug in the game mechanics and should be duly reported. I will accept from many that while the devs have not deemed it an exploit yet (operative word here) it is something that Ill simply report and included in the report a viable solution that experience should not be gained beyond a set distance from a defeated villain.

    IAW COH policies and support section of their website:

    Heroes can earn experience points in two different ways. They are:

    By defeating as many villains possible. The more difficult the villain, the more XP your hero will earn. Your hero can earn XP defeating villains solo or in teams with other heroes.

    By completing the assigned mission. Not only will the hero earn XP from defeating the villains in the mission, upon the completion of a mission, the hero will also be awarded additional XP for completing the mission. Missions can be attempted solo or in teams. XP earned from completing missions will be adjusted based on the level of the hero and the villain as well as number of team members.

    So in order to gain experience you must defeat villians either solo (or on a team) or complete mission.

    This is not a passive activity since the definition according to websters of a team or team work is:

    Team /teem/ n. Two or more persons working together.
    Teamwork /teemwerk/ n. Combined action, cooperation.

    Simply being on a team does merit the reward. You must be be bringing some form of action to be considered part of the team, otherwise you are taking advantage of a "bug" within the game that grants you an unnatural benefit.

    Agreed. Well said Gravewalker.

    Too bad all 3 of you are wrong... define "bug" then.

    The fact that a players receives XP while being on a team.. and in same zone is and was the design of the devs proves your whole theory wrong. A bug would mean a flaw in the code or something, there isnt.

    " You will not exploit any bug in City of Heroes and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug ( bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits ) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of City of Heroes . Bugs should be promptly reported via 'Ask A Question'"

    Gaining XP while on a team and in same area is not a bug... it's a feature. Logic would require an understanding of definitions and the english language. Please try a little harder next time.


    Very well organized post though, only flaw is in the fact that it's not a "bug", possibly a design flaw in your eyes, but definitely not a bug.
  23. Empathika
    Well.. with the anti-PL's logic the trade system has to go too, can't have someone giving inf and goodies to another that didnt directly earn it his own damn self now can we... puuulease... Again... it IS being earned, if you cannot see this than maybe you should go back to grade school and stop harassing the adults.


    Obviously there has been enough stated on this subject. There are those of us that don't have a problem with with others style of play, RP or whatever, and those of you that would have the rest of us follow your dictations.

    Let those in charge handle it.. for good or for bad. They will make a decision that keeps as many of us as possible paying monthly, it is for the $ after all.
  24. Empathika
    It is sad you don't have friends... it is really is, but that's no reason to take stabs at those who do.

    Nobody is geting something for nothing.... every XP point is earned by simple hard work the way it was meant to be. Just because you do not agree with it does not make it a cheat. The fact that it affects YOUR gameplay a grand total of 0% should show you how pathetic this complaint is.
  25. Empathika
    Where in the rules does it dictate a player must act a certain way to gain XP while on a team? Could you please direct me, I can't find it.


    EDIT: just for thought..

    The other day myself an some co-workers went to Tim Hortens for coffe and doughnuts. I used the moey I made at work to buy my friends their coffee and doughnuts and we sta at a table and enjoyed ourselves. I did not buy anything for the guy at the table beside us, or anyone else for that matter.. should I be punished or tossed in jail? Was that immoral? Bad bad me.... I guess I better not ever do anything for a friend again...
