Hibernia

Will try for both , looks clear for the mo.

For a while I ran with Short Circuit slotted for damage rather than End Mod. Combined with Ball Lightning and Static Discharge from the Elec Epic, I put out a shocking amount of AoE damage.

Would 6 slotting Short Circut with 3 damage and 3 End Mod be a good idea?
I'm learning the team play blaster style which lets the Tanks get the agro first , lob ball lightning in then run in and Short Circut , which i have 3 slotted End Mods just now.

About to hit lvl 12 and will upgrade to DO's asap which should help a bit with Damage output. I'm finding my blaster more fun in teams rather than soloing so AoE damage is my preference. I just love seeing all those numbers tic away on a big group while running round like a mad thing trying to escape a mad troll boss

Hi Guys

After my recent attempt at Scrapping thought i'd turn my hand to Defending for a change of pace.

I do have a Kin/Rad at the mo who's not seen the light of day in months so not loooking for either of these sets.
I do like the look and sound of Storm but not sure what might complement that best?

My play is for PvE only and as a Defender would aim to be teaming as much as poss to get the best out of the sets but do quite like to solo now and then. Is this practical with Storm , found it not too bad on Kin/Rad but a tad slow.

Was hoping for something a little unusual power set combo wise if such a thing exists these days

Any words of wisdom and advice as usual greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Should have said it was for PvE play only sorry. Reading other posts for ideas i think i'll give Elec/Energy a go. I've tried fire and ice in other guises on tanks and trollers but Energy is new to me.

mmmm , if i take Crippling Axe kick i'm going to have to divert slots from my Heals i had planned to make it effective.

Lummy , nice to have choices i suppose

Thanks for the input peeps.

I've actualy been able to use every HO i've won and not had to trade any yet. Ill/Rad has so many uses for all types and combo's of HO's i've found. Heals/Damage/Holds/Mez , they all work , it's great

[ QUOTE ]
Aye, SS isn't the worst pick...

What're your Martial Arts choices?

[/ QUOTE ]

Cobra Strike but i have Eagle Claw now and Crippling Axe Kick (i think its called) which someone else advised me not to take.

Right enough another attack can't really do any harm and i don't have any End problems just now and SS for me would be a bit of a luxery.

Mmmm , Tough's out then. I did get Air Sup as i think it's a great power already.

Lol , Maelwys , you've ruled out all my options there

I got all the Regen powers you mentioned. That leaves me with SS!

Atm it doesnt look like we can have too many PA droppers and emps seem to be in abundance so hope you will join us with Hibernia...you don't have to switch toons before the holding phase either then

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay dokay , Hib it is then. Getting a nice collection of HO's i suppose anyway , up to 12 i think it is now.

Hi guys

Seen mentioned in a few builds for Scrappers that Tough is useful in the defence it gives.
As someone who's no experience with this power at all which pool does it come from and does it need many slots to be good?

Upto 32 on my Ma/Regen just now and a spare power at 35 i'm not sure what to take. Is Tough the first power in the pool or do i need to lumber myself with some thing else first?

Alternatives at the moment for a power seems to be Resilience , Tough (depending on answers here) , SS (already have Hasten but also got fly as travel)or Stealth?

Don't want a power thats going to take a lot if any slots as i've earmarked my next load for healing regen powers.

Cheers.

What ATs are you most comfortable playing, could give some pointers on how Blasters are different from those.

[/ QUOTE ]

All my main playing to date on Hero's has been with Controller and Defender varients. Recently got my first Scrapper to 32 MA/Regen and that was fun in being able to solo which is not impossible but tedious i find with a Defender.

Only drawback with Electric is i have an Elec/Elec brute quite high on Villains but the Blasting experience should be different enough on Heros to keep me interested i hope.

Hi guys

Away to roll a blaster , only had a fire blaster previously and only to lvl 10 so no ideas with this AT at all.

My thoughts are Electric/ poss Elec? as a secondery.

Really more keen on what to avoid as opposed to what to build. I reckon i will want Jump pool for acrobatics which is fine by me as i like SJ. Stamina probably essential?
I hear Medicene advisable for Heal Self?

Any other words of advice or reason to avoid Elec/Elec would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi Eric
Mighty , Vent and a group did this a while back with my Plant Dom acting as the confuser. I can certainly say BB is the place to do it. We started in SC and i got ganked by misc heros every minute despite calls not to target me.

Understandably any PvP zone is a free for all but as soon as our team asked for me to be left alone it made it worse and tempers were definatly starting to fray so we moved to a nice quiet part of BB. The odd hero who did target me there after a quick shout from the team of heros backed of very nicely and usually apologised , a very nice class of PvP in BB i must say.

Took us i think 6 hours non-stop to get everyone the badge in the end.

I'm working that weekend or would volunteer my services again

All the best guys , it is a slog but worth the end result.

That could be a useful side effect then after useing a wakie. Is Resilience one of those always on powers and not a clicky?
Middle of a fight , die , pop an awaken , CaB , Health or Dull Pain and straight back into the fray?

Thanks once again to the organisers. We are working as a well oiled machine in this enterprise these days.

Hasten makes more difference, although Resilience is underappreciated. But Hasten makes your regen clickys come back sooner, which is always good.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was thinking Resilience might be under appreciated and didn't want to miss out on a truely useful power though Integration seems to be giving me good mez protection just now at least.
The benefit with having Stamina and the quick End recovery Regen power i thought Hasten would prove more useful and not run me out of End. I did have room for Hasten at 35 in my build but might swap it round with Resilience and take it earlier now i think.

Hi Guys
My first MA/Regen doing well and now about to get Stamina. I've got integration all slotted and my next Regen option is Resilience.

Question is do i take it or take Hasten ?

I've read that if i take Resilience i only need to 1 slot it for Dam Res which seems a little under used so i thought Hasten to speed up my attack chain?

Advice as usual appreciated. Cheers.

I've plumped for MA/Regen after 10 lvls of MA/SR which i didn't get the hang of.

Got Regen to 8 in the last couple of nights and it's great fun with the secondery a lot easier to get to grips with , for me anyway

Thanks for advice peeps.

I have mine just 1 recharge and like others only really use it for end lvl boss and AV's. Takes a lot of pressure of the intial alpha.

Glad i have it in reserve and defo worth taking but not wasteing slots on IMO.

Huge gratz to Captain England dinging 50 last night. Long time comeing and so well deserved.

Glad to be in your team last night and proud to be a member of your Liberty Legion.

Hi Guys

Been on CoH for 19 months and only ever rolled 1 scrapper in that time and only to 14 (Katana something..).

For some reason i now feel in a Scrappy mood and any advice appreciated. I think after reading posts and playing with countless Scrappers my choice would be MA with either Regen or SR , not sure which might combine best?

Or Spines and Regen ?

Mostly Soloing these days though enjoy a good team up and no PvP'ing at all for me.

Any advice greatly appreciated on any powers in these sets to avoid more than the ones i might take.?

Cheers.

Hibernia reporting for PA duty , or may bring along my Empath for her first raid if we have enough PA's along...

Most nights after work a'la 7-8 are ok for me but Sunday has become a bit of an institution and suits best but if it's got to be a Monday i should be there for PA dropping as usual.

Gratz Illy , Trollers FTW !
