I also have a Fire/Fire blaster that I'm looking to make a Fire/Fire/Fire blaster to complete the set, and am looking for guidance on this. What's your recommended slotting / enhancements / powers taken?

Hi Everyone,

I've got a triple Ice character on Liberty that I'm looking to spec out, and looking for advice. Where should I distribute my slots? Which enhancements do I put in there? Which travel power thematically would go with an ice character?

I tend to like to do lots of damage, and have low recharge times, as it seems ice has a bit of a long recharge compared to energy (at least to me).

Any advice would be appreciated.

Here's the long-form version of it. I do have a claws/WP scrapper and stalker that I built when WP came out, but haven't really played those characters out yet. How do those play in comparison to regen?

I was checking into the Invention Origin Enhancements, seeing which ones would give me the most bang for my buck.

It look's like Numina's Convalescence should go in several of my regeneration powers, and Hecatomb in my attack powers.

This is the Mid's Build I was toying with.

I wanted to go dark/dark/dark for the scrapper. Any ideas are welcome.

I enjoyed this thread, and subscribed so I can refer back to it later. Well done!

What are your thoughts on Dark/Dark/Dark vs Dark/Dark/Soul? Any real difference in the two power sets to you?

Hey,

I'd enjoy some RP with a group of like-minded players. Most of the time I enjoy just playing missions, but it's good to flesh out the character and lose yourself in him. I've got a few characters on Liberty and Victory if you ever want to team up.

They're not all level 50's, but I'm looking to bring them up and flesh out their stories a bit. My global chat handle is @Synergy Alpha.

Hi Des,

Great guide for DM/DA! I have a DM/DA/Dark Mastery character that I'm looking to max-out, and I was wondering if you had any recommendations now that Fitness is inherent, and we don't have to manually choose that and lose that power slot.

I recently rebuilt my computer, and it's great for CoH, so here's what I'm using:

i7-950 CPU
Asus X58 mobo
12GB DDR3 RAM
128GB Intel SSD drive
WD 2TB 7200 RPM drive
Creative Audigy X-Fi Titanium
PNY Geforce 460 GTX
Antec Nine Hundred Case.
Windows 7 Ultimate

Hi all,

I have a Dark/Dark scrapper (named "Darkheart", lol) and I was wondering if anyone might have some advice as for slotting this character. I don't have Mid's on this computer, so I can't post anything from there, but I'm looking to counter the endurance drain, reduce recharge, and give decent damage from this build. It seems dark/dark is a big drag on endurance.

Any advice on this kind of build would be welcome.

Hi everyone,

I created a claws/regen stalker to be an 'evil' counterpart for my scrapper, and I noticed that it does need to be played differently from the good guy version. It doesn't get the endurance help that quick recovery offers, and the powers seem to take longer to recharge. I'm looking to get any advice help on getting this stalker to maximize health/end regeneration on the one hand, damage/recharge/accuracy for the claw powers, and minimize endurance cost for powers if possible. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

I gotcha. I'm still a little fuzzy on Incarnates, since I just got back into the game after having rebuilt my computer.

Taking the hero to level 50, I was thinking body mastery, super speed, and stealth for powers.

This is one possible build:

Another question is, when should I switch to invention origin, hamidon, or incarnate enhancements? Or should I stick to SO enhancements?

I gotcha. I respec'ed to re-arrange my slots. Once I get Invention origin enhancements down, what're some good arrangements to max out my scrapper?

The (3) meant I had put 3 slots in that power. Right now, I'm sitting at 34, and I've got plenty of respecs, so that's no worry. I've got a few million inf, so I can afford some invention origin or single origin.

This is my Mid's export code:
http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/downl...8FF91FD69E307A

Given ED, you're saying to 3-slot fast healing, quick recovery, health, and stamina? Once I get to Incarnate Origin, should I up the slots?

As of now, would it be best to stick to Single Origin until I hit the 40's, or spend time inventing?

using the witch 'trench coat' the flowing 'trench-coat' item was in front of one leg when I got out of the tailor. Lvl 33 Scrapper, female.

Eric, Thanks for replying to several of my question threads! I appreciate it! They look like ED bypasses from what I've read so far...

Ah, that makes sense, but the message could be a bit clearer, or they could gray out the button to prevent me from trying to buy it, lol.

I've been out of the game for about 6-8 months, so I'm a bit out of the loop with the Incarnates. Is there an explanation of what it is, what it does for me, and how I get it?

I'm running a level 33 scrapper, so I'm guessing I'll need to be 50 before I can use it, right? Which incarnate abilities should I get? Do I get only one set, or can I get all of them?

Hi everyone,

I've got a claws / regen scrapper that I'm looking to max out on regen and damage/recharge, like most people (I'm guessing). I don't have hero designer, but here's my scrapper:

Given the current build, what would you say would be the best enhancements? I'm using SO right now, but any advice would be welcome. Should I change the number of slots on any of these powers?

And when I reach 50, what would you recommend to slot for enhancements?

What is the "NPC Tranformation" in the Paragon Market?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to buy a single e-mote from the paragon market, and I'm getting a "the quantity requested exceeds the current maximum allowed. Please reduce the quantity selected or try again later." How is buying 1 e-mote for 40 points exceeding any amount limits? What's going on with this? Any help would be appreciated.

I just updated my nVidia driver for my 9600 GT to 180.48, and I get crashes now on a regular basis. My system is Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 4GB RAM, 1.5TB HDD, Quad Core 2.4GHz, P5ND ASUS motherboard. I don't see why I should be crashing so often. Is there some setting to alter to get the game to stop crashing? I lost 2 badges already because of this.

I've got a hero and a villain on claws/regen, and was wondering if there are any guides for these sets taking I-12 into account. I've also got Claws/Willpower as well, and would be interested in hearing others' advice there as well.

Thanks in advance,

James
