To have an enjoyable time whenever I play CoH?

[/ QUOTE ]

Definately this one. Excessive Greed is rarely rewarded without severe and unforseen consequences. Everything else will come in its own due time.

Think about it:
Always getting picked up by the perfect PUG.

Being in an SG who's players actually keep getting along and don't quit the game at the first hint of nerf.

Ace'ing the STF and LRSF with a less than optimal character and getting the badge awarded for no one in the team dieing and just by the pixels on your character's teeth.

Pick up IO Recipes at reasonable prices at Wentworths or the Black Market.

Finding the most interesting stories on the Mission Architect and playing them bug free.

Meet interesting people on the interwebs with interesting original characters and play with them.

Be Expy Leech Free!

Never, Ever, EVAR having to hear someone ask for an anchor or bridge or the word or initials for Power Level again!

ah..... *Dreams*

Sounds boring. Then again, I roll Empathy and PainDom so I must be a glutton for punishment </3

Demon Summoning

1) Flares (lol you know it)
2) Summon Imps (Yes, THOSE Imps, only in controllable form)
3) Fire Blast
4) Hex (Basic Upgrade)
5) Fireball
6) Summon Succubi (Damage+Control, also first female MM pets)
7) Forge (Same as Corrupter Thermal, this set is about damage)
8) Summon Blade Prince (I guess, they're kinda cool, that or a Hellfrost...)
9) Ritual (Improved Upgrade)

Tossed that together in ten minutes. For lulz.

Interesting idea.

Right up until that squishy hero bumps into a Dominator.

Or, inversely, that Dom runs into a Tank. In a tiny, single corridor hallway.

What?

Power Boost

...lol...

Congrats on making that stun last three seconds instead of two. Unless you follow up with something nice. Like BOOSTED POWER THRUST/SNIPE FOR THE WIN <3

I have a Ice/Kin. I don't PVP with her. She's pitiful now.

Question: is this an oversight?

[/ QUOTE ]

Working as intended

[ QUOTE ]
1.) Reduce (or eliminate) the recharge on Rest.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's already pretty quick. I drop a recharge in it, to make it come back even quicker. With hasten and 1 recharge IO, it's up just about every minute.

[ QUOTE ]
2.) Zero endurance use for Brawl (and possibly the origin inherents.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Geeeeeeaaaargh no, for one reason, two words; PROC PUNCH

[ QUOTE ]
3.) Longer duration on toggle pulses.

[/ QUOTE ]

Could just have the shields tick their cost less frequently. But shields don't have as adverse an effect on end usage as ANYTHING ELSE. Attacks/buffspam/debuffspam > shield for endurance leeching.

[ QUOTE ]
4.) Endurance discount at low levels.

[/ QUOTE ]

That'd be nice.

I suggest something like Beginner's Luck for Endurance. You're hella energetic and rip-roaring to go on your new hero/villain trout chucker head bopper. I mean, who wouldn't be if you just busted out of jail/learned you can create/control/trow trout at people?

Then you get old. And tired. At like, clearance level 20. And you can barely wake up in the morning without groaning and trow trouting the alarm clock, muttering how everything tastes like fish.

...

Yeah, I use Ally settings, Rescue's wonky. Well darn, was hoping to have my ally spawn near/next or automatically run to the player. Although that could be bad if they run through mobs to get to you >_<

Didn't think about that XD

Thanks for the reply!

Is there a way to get an ally to 'see' you at mission start and either come to you or spawn next to/near you? I would like to use a few outdoor missions, but when I put my ally on Single Follow, they say their lines, but just...sit there...waiting for you to come over to them.

Would an ally ambush work? How would I go about setting that up correctly? Thank you in advance.

Pre-thank you Jay! Also; omggbdkjrednamez everywhere...

Incapable...of waiting...four DAYS...GAO...

Well, my exerience showed me that they weren't.

Tell that to my Emp/Dark. Oh wait, Empathy was never good in PvP

http://zssamus.mybrute.com

Yeah yeah unoriginal, kiss my butt </3

Nope, didn't know that. Good thing I'm not really doing that though because it wouldn't be very heroic of me, now would it? I was simply being snarky :P

I can grief heroes with my Emp/Dark, I just scuttle around dropping heals on Regen Scrappers and watch their heal% cleave in half.

[ QUOTE ]
Drone 'em

[/ QUOTE ]

My Emp/Dark fully endorses this statement, sadly.

Well, if you plan to solo PvP primarily, you can drop Deflection and Insulation Shields, as well as Repulsion Bomb. You generally won't have someone close at hand to use as a bomber, but the shields can help other players with random bubbling.

As for sapping, I have no experience along the lines of assaulting another player's endurance in i13, but most drains took a heavy hit. Even with PBU, Short Circuit will only drain ~50% of their end :/

Someone with more information should come along...

I better let someone more involved than I preach it to you, but you've got a decent combo, combining FF's lovely defense, and Electricity's utilities. Your damage won't be as bad as it was previously, due to increased damage across the AT board, but you should probably focus on single target.

KB is an amazing effect in PvP; Repulsion and Force bubbles will knock non-melee on their butts, and your toggles won't drop when mezzed/slept/etc.

VS is crippled in PvP now (1/2 the damage of Charged Bolts), but it can be handy as an IO mule.

Also, with enough recharge, you can make Power Build Up a mini-t9 with a short timer and no crash. Zapp becomes a highly viable t3 attack, as your defense will keep you from being interrupted.

I threw this together quickly just for the heck of it, it's by no means a "YOU MUST DO THIS HURRRR"...

Hmm...a BlapTrollFender...AS+Force Bolt for the lulz...

Eh, just noticed the +Accuracy is a little low, you might want to build into that more than this build did. But as it stands, you're sitting at ~27% defenses for every typed damage and positional damage, your resistances cap at 75% with just your EPP armor, you're only running the toggles you need, AND you've got 117.5% recharge. This build is a little expensive, so you can move things in/out/around.

Hope that helps some.

*Mutters* Posi and TehHouse always cookin up this stuff, makin me pay for all this good stuff, evil, just evil &gt;_&lt;

Actually, just to throw a wrench in some thought-streams...

I was on a sewer team with a new Arrow Blaster I was rolling for fun, and a VERY villainy teammate (Controller, I think) had the whole black/red motif. However, somehow, my CoH client misloaded her vet reward cape, which appeared attached to the back of her head. Full animations.

I don't recall taking screenshots, I should have though. I'll check when I get the chance.

Regeneration Aura (Don't Bother) :
The numbers behind this just dont seem to add up to the effect it gives. When I first had this power, I was expecting a health version of Regeneration Aura, but it wasn't. In fact I could discern no actual benefit to the health of the team in a fight. Given that it has a dreadful recharge time, it would have to be slotted the same as Recovery Aura for it to be of any use, and that uses up 5 slots that are simply not justified by the alleged recovery rate it gives. I would suggest trying this for yourself on the test server, then sighing with relief that you didn't take it. Avoid!


[/ QUOTE ]

I said the exact same thing on a thread about the worst powers in the game and got blasted for it; pun not intended (for a change). I'm just happy to see that there's someone out there that agrees with me

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll have to throw a counter-arguement out to defend Regen Aura. I currently have it six-slotted, but I plan to drop a slot down the line. However, the effect of Regen Aura isn't noticeable when you have alot of buffs/debuffs on your side, and/or a very aware Empath who hits teammates so fast with green-love, that you don't really see it's effects.

My only attacks as a Emp/Dark/Pow are Dark Blast (One slotted), TT (Five-slotted, and Dark Pit (Also five-slotted). You'll notice the effect especially when soloing. Even two-slotting regen aura with heals makes me unkillable. I have single-slotted Health, and with Regen Aura on, I was able to confront a number of enemies who were otherwise three-shotting me.

On a team, I've found that my three-slotted Regen Aura makes my Heal Aura/Heal Other/Absorb Pain nearly useless. If RegAura came back up any faster than it does (Even with Hasten), you might not even need to take Heal Other/Absorb Pain, due to the massive regen rate it gives.

I also have Power Boost, which is mega-overkill on the Auras :P

I'm respecing tonight

I'm going to go all Attacks, Heal Aura (For myself), Phase Shift, and Teleport, so I can TP away in case something hits me. I bruise easily
