    Thanks again for the pointers, I'll drop Resist Elements and Build Up and get Conserve Power and Physical Perfection for those and move Taunt down to 32.

    I now regret taking Boxing this early, because I thought it would be decent attack for the early levels. But I found that using only Charged Brawl and Havoc Punch is much more endurance efficient. I chalk this up as "eh, I'll need it later anyway".

    Well, after one evening of flying around with the raptor pack I'm convinced that SJ at 44 is waaaaay too late, so I shuffled a few things around.

    Thanks for the replies so far, the sixth Reactive Armor set was an oversight because CallMeAwesome's guide only used two passives instead of all three and I just automatically put that set into my third passive too.

    This is how my plan for lvl 50 looks now (lvl 14 at this time). I moved one slot from Dull Pain into Lightning Rod, which gives me 6 slots for the three "big" attacks and 4 slots for the small ones.

    The sets I used in my attacks and defense powers aim for "please, be cheap at wentworths" so they are subject to change

    I would like to get either Conserve Power or Focused Accuracy (although the +to-hit from Invincibility could be sufficient ?!) plus Physical Perfection for more regen/recovery, but I have no idea what powers to drop for those. One passive resist power seems obvious, but I don't see what the second power could be. Perhaps Hasten ?!

    Hello,

    I'm looking for some input for my invul/electric build. I have some tanker experience from the very early days (invul/stone, fire/fire) of CoH into the early thirties when level 40 was max level I quit two months after US release and recently started playing again, this time on an EU server though.

    With the advent of I16 and my lack of hero chars - I only played villain side after rerolling - I decided to give the tanker another try. I plan to jump the fotm bandwagon (if there is one) and go for invul/electric as electric is the "new" thing.

    I read the guides from CallMeAwesome about softcapping invul and the first twenty levels in general and came up with the following build.

    My main concerns with this build are :

    * not taking an epic power pool - do I miss out on something important ?
    * taking Super Jumping rather late - is CJ + hurdle + temporary travel power any good these days ?!
    * the number of slots in my attacks - is 4-6 enough or do I need to six-slot all of them and where do I find the "extra" slots ?
    * how will I pay for the recipes and salvage items with my non-existant budget

    Atm, she is level 9 but this is what I planned for 50 :

    Just for clarification : I'm perfectly happy that all the mobs can see me when I'm dragging around some guy, but I want the the aura for the defense/resist part.

    My pets can see me, every mob can see me, but the guy I have in a wristlock can't ? That's just wrong.
  5. Gallifrey
    I'm playing a robot/dark mastermind and use Shadow Fall as a defensive aura.

    When I have to escort a target to the exit, I have to turn off Shadow Fall, because when I run Shadow Fall, the escorted person stops following me after a few steps.

    This happens with most unwilling targets (hostages) as well as with some friendly targets like Wretch in the Seer Marino arc.

    I'm assuming this happens because the stealth portion of Shadow Fall hides me from the escorted person, but I consider it rather nonsensical, because escorting comes with a large -stealth debuff.

    Please let me run my stealth/defense aura
