Quote:I rolled a staff/DA brute when the set was released. He was a pleasure to level up. I think I ran DFB to 22 for SOs though so I'm not sure how he will run with just DOs or before you get forms.Originally Posted by Roderick
I'm mostly worried about the REALLY early levels, when I've got three survival toggles, a damage aura, and three attacks, only 1-3 slots in each, and am JUST starting to use DOs. I solo a lot, so I can't rely on teams and TFs to help me blow through the early levels.
When I played him I did pretty much always use the single target finisher for the regen/recovery instead of using the aoe finisher and it kept my blue and green bars in good condition through most of my leveling experience. I started IOing for s/l defense in the 30s and he was rock solid. I took him up to 46 and then switched to another project (mostly just because I already had several melee characters). He was a pleasure to play and the staff form made a HUGE difference in end consumption. -

You can use the following to issue a command to just your tier1 demons:
/petcompow ling command
In my signature below there is a section of the numpad guide entitled Commanding Subsets of Pets that deals with how to issue commands to any groupings of pets using either the /petcompow or /petcomname commands.
Good luck! -
Well, I'm trying to log in from the city of heroes homepage. Trying to log in on the master account that has my city of heroes account on it. It does also have an aion account on it, but I kind of need to be able to get to my CoH account info. I do not and never have had a lineage account, so it seems kind of odd that out of the blue I cannot get into my account ya know?

So I tried to log in to my NCSoft master account and it tells me my login and/or password are incorrect. When I click the Forgot Password link it tells me that "We did not find that e-mail address in our records, please try again."
I have not changed my e-mail address I still have recent e-mails for my account in the trash on that e-mail account. Is something going on with the NCSoft site that I just missed? Should I just give it a little time or get with support? -
Quote:Huh, not the choices I would have made at all. One thing to note is that your AoE defense is only going to be 40.X% when powerboost wears off, so it's not really softcapped.Originally Posted by Ramen
This is the build I'm planning to use on mine. It's a bit more end heavy but I haven't had any issues with it so far

The build I'm running right now sits with Ranged 45.2% Melee 44.58% Aoe 44.89% and perma hasten/chronoshift. I could get the numbers all up over 45% by swapping to all level 50 IOs instead of the hodgepodge of levels that I have now, but I like the lower levels for exemping and frankly having melee .42 under and aoe .11 under is not a big deal, especially since times juncture will cover that and more with 18.99% to hit debuff.
When I24 lands with snipe changes I'll be switching to the build below which is actually identical to my current build except it swaps flares out to get the snipe. I'm not really interested in getting Inferno because even with all that recharge it would still only be up every 90+ seconds and frankly I don't care for another long rechage 'I-win-button'. I just don't enjoy that playstyle. I like long term bonuses or things that are available very frequently, not something that will just decimate every 3-4th spawn.

Color your powers yellow and go with 'Yellow Snow'
I'm not 100% sure that I will end up making the character, because I think /poison might be too busy to really make good use of the tidal power mechanics, but I have it reserved on freedom anyways... wb/poison corr named Hydrochloric with powers shaded green and an acid theme.
(I was trying to think of names for the thread and had to open the game to reserve one before I posted it...)
I am amazed I was still able to reserve Hydrodynamic on Freedom. Seems like a perfect hero name for any water type character. Might use it for a wb/ storm or time character. Seems VERY fitting for a time character especially though I'm trying to wean myself off the time set since I have like 5 /time MMs and my most recent 50 was a fire/time corr.
Hydroplane or hydrofoil for a character with flight or SS.
Hydrocodone for a wb/emp or pain healer character.
Hydroelectric seems like a standout choice for plenty of combos. Same for Hydrokinetic and Hydrothermal. -
SS has rage, which is almost brokenly good, in addition to the usual bonuses rage will increase your damage aura output.
Also. Footstomp.
Staff is neat, but the damage output is nothing special. It has a very nice toolbox of handy effects to be useful in a lot of situations, but it lacks in raw DPS output compared to many sets. -
Quote:It's quite nice as a lowbie leveling set. Grab an ATO set and an OF set and six slot your basic attacks on a low level character, then pull out the OF set when you do a respec to a real IO build at 30+ or whenever you get around to doing it. I'm looking forward to the second ATO set for exactly the same reason. A third scaling set from level 10 will be quite nice.Originally Posted by Ironblade
At a glance, it sucks compared to purples - which is why I have no plans to slot any.

Quote:No worries, we'll just chalk it up to a difference in terminology. All of my life myself and everyone I know has used the word gripe for a minor complaint about something petty and irritating, not to represent being really upset. Oh well, no harm done. I just wasn't expecting a bunch of people to come along and jump down my throat for a lighthearted 'boy it would be nice' kinda post that was put up all in good fun.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
As for your OP, people would rightly think you were upset since you called it a gripe in your first post. If you weren't upset, why refer to it as a gripe? If you'd called it a mild annoyance instead I doubt anyone would have thought you were upset.

Quote:*shrug* not a lot else to do while waiting for the DFB team to finish filling/queueuing. But hey, just continue to ignore the fact that NCsoft dropped the ball and bash me for daring to criticize them. And yes, this post was written during the unskippable cut scenes in the summer event.Originally Posted by Doctor Roswell
You're right. Creating a thread about it on the forums was a much better use of your time.
EDIT: And the OP was written just sort of tongue in cheek just something that crossed my mind and I tossed out there. If people somehow thought I was upset or anything other than mildly annoyed they were way off base, I just don't tend to be one to sit here and be quiet when fanbois who are way off base start spouting crap. No offense intended :P -
Quote:Patch notes had not been posted and I was on a character who was not high enough level to run the event and did not yet have access to my personal base where I have them stored. Logging on to a different character to dig something out of storage just to check on the off chance it was actually fixed seems a bit of a waste of time instead of actually playing the new power set. But hey... maybe if patch notes were posted when the patch went live instead of hours later it wouldn't have been an issue eh?Originally Posted by Texas Justice
I found it humorous that the fix had already been applied before the OP's gripe post and follow-up post.
All it would have taken was trying to put it into WW to see that part of it was fixed and it would have also likely given enough info to realize the level part was fixed as well.
Knowing there was a patch, I'd have at least checked it before making a post to gripe about it.
But hey, I suppose it's easier to take a poke at me for being mildly annoyed that they made such a botch of the OF set in the first place eh? The only reason I would need to take the steps you listed is if the company wasn't doing their job and rushed out an unfinished product, and then couldn't get patch notes posted in a timely manner...
EDIT: Just a side note, the OF set still doesn't stack correctly in base storage racks. It appears to be stacking by the original minimum level that it doesn't even list any more. So the 4 quads I got from 50s stack, but the quads from other characters with different levels do not stack together. -
Nice, good stuff!

Quote:I'm well aware. It would still be nice if it worked properly so that I could have another attuned set that would level with me to slot into an attack. The ato set is nice to be able to drop in at 10 and not have to worry about it until you get 30+ and start looking into a proper IO build. Looking forward to the second ATO set for that, and it would be nice if this worked correctly as well.Originally Posted by Agent White
Bug. Waiting on fix.
Not the end of the world, just saying it would be nice. -
that the Overwhelming Force set scaled the level requirements properly so that I could use a set on my new water blast corruptor at level 10 instead of a hodgepod of level requirements for different pieces.
Yep, just a gripe here, nothing to see

Quote:You should take a serious look at doing Water/Time. /Time is a MONSTER of a set. You can deck yourself out with capped positionals and perma hasten/chronoshift and just rip things up. I have a fire/time that is right there and it's a lot of fun.Originally Posted by Bright_Tempest
OOohh... Water/Cold would give me an excuse to use that nifty new set coming out Tomorrow...
yep, I see that happening. Thanks Madadh!
I would probably roll up a water/time except I am trying to wean myself from the /time set. 50 Thugs/time 4X Necro/Time 39 Demons/time 34 bots/time and a 50 fire/time corr. It's a heck of a set. Aoe heal+HoT, debuffs, a nice teammate damage/rech buff, huge team defense buff that affects you as well, team +rech buff in chronoshift... it brings a lot to the table. If I didn't have so many /time MMs and my most recent 50 (a couple weeks old) is the fire/time corr I would be rolling it with water blast in the morning... still trying to convince myself to choose a different set, lol.
Oh yeah... and the /time set makes a PERFECT fit for the Intuition alpha. You have both a single hold and a chance to hold in an aoe debuff, a PBAOE tohit debuff, multiple slow effects and the +damage boosts up your blast set. You use every aspect of a very nice alpha in your core abilities. -
I've been tinkering with the idea of a warmace character and saw someone say that it is better on a scrapper than a broot, but not say why.
Anyone have any insight as to what might be the scoop here? I'm probably going to be going WM/Shield for the look and such. AoO would give better mileage on a scrapper I suppose since they have higher base numbers, but I tend to play solo 95%+ of the time so I'm thinking I would probably see better damage overall with a brute chasing fury and not having outside buffs.
Anyone have any experiences/thoughts for it? -
You know, I keep seeing people saying how MM are great for hunting GMs, but frankly my thugs/time can't ever get them to stand still. I think I have the 'umph' to take one down, but I keep trying for scrapyard whenever I see the message about him, but all he does is just run away. I can't seem to make him stand still long enough to lay down some dps on him.

I've had a lot pf PEBCAK and ID 10 T protocol errors when using the mission transporter. Every time I actually remember to go in and specifically select the mission instead of just thinking it would naturally send me to the mission I just picked it has worked fine.
-
Thanks for the tweaks and such. I wasn't really meaning that the slotting was set, it was just a quick and dirty bit thrown together right before bed so that I would have a record of which sets to use and such. Very nice revamp, most appreciated.
-
Well, took a quick crack at it before bed tonight. It hits 47.5 S/L 40.6 E/N and 42.8 F/C with T4 agility.
The build feels a little awkward, and hasten isn't quite perma... ugh, just not feeling real confident in it. But it's my first crack at /inv, and those defense numbers layered onto a resist set should be pretty sturdy I suppose. Not sure how I feel about it really.

This will be my first invulnerability character, but I have heard pretty good things about it.
I opened this thread and then started poking around in mids and it looks like all the /inv powers are typed defense, so that pretty much locks down that question. I was thinking to leverage Divine Avalanche and go for positional defense instead of having yet another melee built around Kinetic Combat sets, oh well, I guess that's out the door.
So, anyone have any thoughts? I dug about 8 pages deep in the builds forum but didn't see any kat/inv builds there. I can probably cobble something together I suppose but it always helps me out to look over other builds first just to see how people are approaching things. Will check back tomorrow and either post a mids or look at what people have here.
Thanks in advance for anything that is posted. Oh, and just to be clear, I'm looking for a solid defensive build layered on top of /invulnerability's resists. Not sure how far that can be pushed as far as f/c/e/n. It's generally pretty easy to work S/L to good numbers, and then it becomes a balancing act for the others versus getting more recharge to crank kat's big hitters. Price is... not really a huge concern. I mean obviously I would like to keep it as reasonable as possible, but at the same time I have 1-2 sets of rag, heca, apoc and arm banked, pvp 3% def, panaceas, pvp -res aoe procs etc just sitting in my base storage, so if the build looks solid I have the resources to really pimp it out a bit. -
Has it been announced if any of these sets will be free to subscribers, or are they all going to be pay-to-play?

You can only get them on the same character once every 20 hours.
They have been running it on 10 different characters per day.
The even runs until July 31. That's over 30 days since it went live.
That's going to get them somewhere between 20 and 30 days of running it on 10 characters per day allowing for days that they don't play.
That's between 200 and 300 enhancements.
Simple math.
Oh well, I have plenty of characters to run it on, I was just thinking this way I could choose one that was lower level to chain run it since they're bugged and locked at character level-3. -

We've also seen this and QA is currently investigating the issue. As soon as we identify the cause, we'll address it in a future patch.
Obviously no one likes it when things are broken, but personally it makes a huge difference to me when the company can take the time to let us know they are aware and are working on it, even if a fix is just coming sometime in the future it helps.
