Title says it all, looking for a good DM/EA build. My playstyle varies alot so not worried about AoE or Single target or anything else like that.
-
Not going to post my build cause apparently I lost the save file for it o.0. Anyway its not so much needed. Anyway, I farm AE a bit with the build I have but mostly I head out and do reg missions with friends.
I was surprised when a few people were nailing me for not having Tough and Weave. I ended up going into the stealth tree to pick up those nice skills for my LOTG, anyway, if anyone had a decent SS/FA build with tough and weave can you post it please, just wanna take a look at it. -
I like the idea of DM/EA but I suck at creating builds and Mids is not yet updated so I really really suck at it. I did have a DM/DA once LONG ago so I do know them atleast a bit, are they still Viable? Are they still fun? Or should I try something a bit new and maybe even a bit unproven.
-
I just updated the game but now when I try to load I get this message
"We have detected missing or corrupt game files, please run the "Repair" option in NCsoft Launcher to fix this. The game will now exit."
When I close that screen, I reload the launcher and click on repair, which goes with out a hitch, once the repair is done, the launcher tells me the game has been updated and needs to verify the files, when this happens I get this message again. I have run the repair several times now to no avail. Any help would be appreciated...
While I am not opposed to re-installing I would rather not if its at all possible... I do not have the disks and my internet is not lightning fast = (. Would probably take 10 to 12 hours to DL the game and patchs = (
Update**
Apparently I fixed the issue. Not sure how but it worked, Here is what I did if anyone else is having problems.
I decided to try to stop it from verifying the files, why? No idea I was just out of idea's... Anyway, I right clicked on City of Heroes and clicked properties. Then under the Extra parameters area I typed -noverify. After this was done I tried to run the game again, and got a different error message then I had gotten the dozen times prior, I was and idiot and didnt copy it down. Anyway, I ran the repair again, but this time the repair took about 10 minutes as opposed to 2 minutes from all the tries before. After that repair it started working again. -
I gotta be honest, Its been a long time, I had a DM/DA build like 3 years ago and was pretty good at it, mind you I wasnt running anything on +4x8 but I was doing pretty good. I had wanted to try DM again and was going over all the secondaries and EA sounded interesting so I grabbed it. Any advice I would pretty much welcome, I have yet to buy a single IO since I know I dont know why I am doing, I just couldnt find a build on forums so I settled for trying to make one of my own, which considering I dont understand EA much.. it was a tall order.
As far as what I am looking for, My other main is a SS/FA/Mu Brute, dont get me wrong but I am not looking for a clone of it, I am looking for anything that is solid but different. -
Ok I built the build in Mids using a brute set up but I am a scrapper... guess I have to wait till Mids is updated but perhaps it will still work for some feedback.

well it needs to be unhidden. With how long the servers have been down and the lack of information people are starting to get frustrated including me. It has gotten to the point where any new news is good news. Meh.... Imma go eat my spaghetti and check back up on this thread then. Maybe there will be some sort of an update.
-
well I can say that infinity for the time being is working just fine. Not many around but the server is there.
-
Ok is the server up or down. Lastest post I found says all servers were up and open to public. When I went to go log in it worked, clicked on Freedom and the client froze for 10 seconds before logging me out. Infinity works. Did not however check the others as I dont have chars on em. Sooooo if we are still seeing problems it would be good to know if its being sorta atm or if its going to be a while.
-
Ok, I have been trying to decide on what to make next. I came back a month or so ago after a hiatus just before going rogue. Its taken me a bit to get everything and in truth I am still relearning some old and still a few new things to learn.
Currently I am playing a DB/FA Brute. He is fun and farms ok, I can run the Fire Trolls in about 2 hours, yea I know thats sorta slow but I can do it. Anyway DB abilities do sorta butt heads with FA ones so am looking into a new character to mess around on. I did make a Plant/Elec Dom, have not played much yet with it but the character is there.
That said I enjoy both tanking and farming and was trying to see if anyone had any ideas for brutes or tankers I wouldn't. If the build is fun enough I would even try scrapper or stalker. I dont need THE best but I do want a good combo that is fun to play.
Thanks for the help guys

just a quick question about how much Defense is good for fire farms. Currently I am sitting at Max Fire Resistance... easy with FA lol. And about 18% fire defense. I can go through any fire farm currently on +0 with 0 inspirations. Can also make it through on +1 and +2 with Inspirations although it does slow down a good bit. Basically I am looking to turn this guy into a power leveler for my supergroup and would love to be able to do many things at +3 or +4. Just not sure of the numbers I need to be hitting.
-
Well I thought I had it figured out but a few things have managed to confuse me. What I do know:
Day 1: 5 Tip Missions
Day 2: 5 Tip Missions (Morality Mission to become Rogue)
Day 3: 5 Tip Missions
day 4: 5 Tip Missions (Morality Mission to become Hero)
That I get, currently I am in day 3. I just collected a tip and got myself confused. When I hit investigate there were 2 options, Villian and Rogue. I was expecting a Hero option but saw none. I asked in help chat and I got "Rogue Isles offer Villian, Rogue and Hero side offers Hero, Vigilante" But still found myself confused as no one wanted to clarify =(.
So my question is In order to become a Hero do I need to find my way to hero side and do Hero missions or do I keep completing Rogue missions to become Hero, As I already stated I am a rogue atm. -
Simple question. Is DB/FA decent endgame? I am asking this cause right now. I am leveling this and a SS/FA. And the SS/FA is a pain atm, while the DB/FA is really really easy lol.
-
Ok need a few comments on this one. I have 1 of both atm. My DB/FA is level 41 and moving along alright. But then I read somewhere that DB/FA is not very good so I decided to try out SS/FA but thus far is a much tougher spec to level, level 26 atm. Am I doing something I am supposed to be doing that makes the build a bit easier or is it just hard till a specific level or gear issue.
-
Ok, first easy on the acronyms as I have been gone a long time = (. I just came back and am finding myself scratching my head on my dark/dark scrapper. At one point I had a plan with him.... although I no longer no what that plan was or if it was any good. I have taken him through a few dungeons and I do solo fine so maybe all is not lost. I also do not really run out of endurance with dark cunsumption. My first plan of attack was going to get Mids hero planner and build my guy from the ground up but seeing as I no longer understand half of the stuff I decided to build my guy as best as I could and ask where I am supposed to be going with him. I do have a respec available if needed. Also my build has Stamina and Health... some one said those are given at early levels now so not sure if I even need them. The build doesnt show it cause I couldnt get it to let me but I also have Cloak of Fear. Dont always use it but there ya go.

Forgive me a bit on this. Never used Mids designer before lol. -
What major if anything has changed? Are people still farming MA for tickets or to level up? And where do people hang out now. I was at atlas park and saw maybe 10 people = (. And chat has been dead /cry.

Ok guys, I was here yesterday and you guys tried to help me. Anyway to sum it up, Vent does not recognize my push to talk keys in game. It was suggested to me that I run Vent as Admin. The problem is now, when I do this as soon as it loads it closes. Any thoughts on this would be great. I was searching the net a bit for this one and found nothing. x.X. I even posted on Vent forums but it has been awaiting approval to be actually posted by one of there admins for some time now x.X.
-
Ok I searched the forum for 15 minutes, so either the info is there and hard to find or i am just blind. Anyway. Vent works well for me generally. I also Play WoW which it works fine there as well. But for w/e reason Vent will not work properly with City of Heroes. Anyway the problem is when I am in game Vent does not recognize my push to talk keys. I have tried several different keys in an effort to fix it. I have even switched to windowed mode but still the same problem. The only way I can actually work it is to push the vent button with the game minimized and hold it till I maximize the game again. All that does is keep vent open which I am sure for everyone at the other end is probably annoying but at the very least they can hear me. I just cant toggle it off after that w/o minimizing again. Any help would be great.
For those wondering I am Running Windows Vista SP2
