Is the extra damage from Scourge worth the reduced -end on a corruptor, or will it mean faceplanting more often? How do the ATs compare with the same powersets?

    I've got a character concept that goes with these powersets, so I'm looking for opinions from people who have played them before to help me decide which way to go.

    Thanks!
    My opinion for soloing would be to stay away from Elec, but since you want a Elec and Kin I'd suggest going Corruptor.

    Endurance drain in PvE is overrated IMO. I have a 50 Kin/Elec defender built around endurance drain. I found out the hard way that bad guys don't really need much Endurance to attack and they also recover endurance pretty quickly.

    If I had the patience to redo that toon I'd either make him a Corruptor or keep him as a defender but slot him mostly for damage and focus my bonuses on defense. I'd also get rid of all the endurance enhancements except for the 10% chance for disorient.

    So we have yet another new enhancement set along with a second round of ATIOs but still no additional Targeted AoE sets?

    You guys have been pretty good in the past at giving the players what they want within reason but I can't fathom why there is such a small selection of Targeted AoE sets, only 3 if you remove the purple and PvP sets. Development time can't be the reason seeing there have been many additional sets released since IOs were made available. The only thing I can think of is either:

    #1) You guys aren't aware of the lack of TAoE recipes
    #2) You guys don't care there is a lack of TAoE recipes
    #3) You guys mistakenly think the lack of selection is okay
    #4) You guys think the ATIOs and this new set make up for the limited selection.
  4. Congrats again to you both!

    I predict the baby will be a boy!

    Although I'm leaving my final thoughts until I can see the set in action; I'm not too thrilled about this. Location based buffs make little sense IMO in a game where groups spend less than 1 minute on a mob before they move on. So unless it is quick recharging I don't think I'm going to be too enthusiastic about it.
  6. If they add Silver Hawks and Bionic Six I may have to reactivate my sub!
  7. Team teleport is cool, but what if I'm role playing in my civilian attire? I should be able to call a cab...

    If you collect the location badges from the new DA zone while in SG mode you will unlock the teleporter.

    Thematically Cim wouldn't be possible since it's in the past, however they could add it to the zone selection when exiting Ouroboros

    I have heard it is ctrl-power and that puts a circle around it, but the power only seems to fire once.
    It will fire again once it recharges

    And much like the urinal at a stadium, I go to the one closest to the exit so I can get in and get out fast!
  11. Are you serious?

    If the game needs more public gathering places, then how about adding gambling to the game and making casinos

    This is what I do.

    On a side note, powers like PB and AD should be auto IMO. Most players have them perma (as they should), making it a click not only uses up the only available "auto power" option, but they also interrupt attack chains.
  13. Add me to the list of the annoyed by this "feature".

    I run CoH on two systems, one a Macbook Pro (wireless) and one a PC (Wired). I also have two accounts, a main one with 25+ toons on Victory and the second with about 15. At first I thought it was because of the amount of toons I had on Victory. However the main account takes at least twice as long loading on my PC than on my Macbook which baffles me as my PC is also much more powerful than my Macbook.

    I agree! I love it slotted in Living Shadows, but this is before the upcoming proc changes. The proc is a big part of the build and how I play the toon. I may end up retiring him.
  15. Here is the build I use. With the upcoming changes to procs I'm not sure how effective it will be (Thanks again Devs!). I might just retire him rather than create a new build and spent time shopping for it.

  16. I'd love to see automatic base payments. In a world where you can teleport matter from one place to another it's beyond me why they can't automatically debit your SG funds for payment.

    I'd also love to see a base building tutorial.

    Best antivirus?

    I dislike McAfee and Norton so much I can't find the words...

    I use AVG on my PC and Kaspersky on my Mac

    This is pretty much how I feel. After the BoTZ nerf I accepted that in game enhancements can change and from there on out never put a lot of effort into acquiring them. SBE on the other hand I thought would be different; after all I spent actual money on them.

    Good thing I don't get paid for thinking...
  19. The only thing that has "let me down" about Staff fighting so far is the lack in variety of pole-arms. After the good job done with TW I can't fathom why the selection is so lacking. I mean how difficult is it to make a stick?
  20. And still no new Targeted AoE recipes...
  21. I haven't had any issues running 0/8 as long as defense debuffers are taken out first as stated earlier. Also Shield Charge, Lighting Rod and Thunder Strike usually keep the badguys busy until they are defeated.

    New Slow IO sets

    It's probably best to put this in the suggestion section but it will probably get filed in the circular cabinet alongside my request for more Targeted AoE recipes.

    Although they have ignored the requests for additional recipes like TAoE and Snare and said they have no plans on adding additional ones at this time, they have found time to add new ATIOs... sigh
