BS/Regen here.

Love the clickieness of /Regen, and I love the sound effects of BS.

*smack smack*

I just now got the chance to try it, and it is still doing the same thing. It runs, then closes, then restarts itself over and over again. I had it going for 30 mins like that, and still nothing.

Any other advice?

Sweet thanks Train. I'll try it and report back.

Oh, ok. I just need to get a new copy of the updater? I'll look around some and see if I can find one.

So should I reinstall? I don't have the CDs for the game anymore.

I'm in a bit of a fix here, hope you guys can lend a hand.

Every time I try to start up the CoH updater, it acts like it will load, then it closes and restarts itself. I recently had a virus attack(was pretty nasty too) but was able to get rid of it I think, but maybe not all the way. It started happening right after I got the virus attack, maybe that is what is causing it?

It seems like something is blocking it, I don't know how to check and see if the computer is blocking it for not.

I would be grateful if anyway has any info or advice.

1) Yes
2) You just lose agro, doesn't put you in a hide status.
3) Useful for getting out of a tight spot, but besides that, you probably have better things to pick.

If they made it so it put you in a hidden status, and lowered its animation time, I'd take it back in a heart beat.

Edit: But no harm in crying moar for a buff if you think you can manipulate devs. Good luck.

I know right? I'm a crier None of the VEATS NEED a buff, they destroy gobs of enemies as it is, let alone in a group like they are made for. But if one of them needs it, it would be the Bane. At least some defense debuff resistance, and maybe more than the Widows, to compensate for their somewhat lower defense.

As to Captain, that would be extremely safe. Web Cocoon is I think the best single target hold in the game. I had it for a while on mine, but after I started to IO out my Bane, it was rather useless, so I dropped it. I wish I still had it. Very nice.

Seems rather unfair that you don't count Mind Link for Widows, yet the pets for Banes.

The pets are rather weak, unless you are fighting your level.

Here I state...

[ QUOTE ]
This is why I don't include IO's, I could include however that Widows take two more powers (Mind Link and Hasten) to get that 10% (15.6% enhanced) So that is five powers to get a total of 25% (unenhanced) and Banes use two to get 13.75% (unenhanced) sounds fair to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't even include the pets I compared the five powers needed for a Widows defense to the two powers a Bane gets. Showing the other people how they are using a pool power plus IOs and I just used what a Bane had, Since according to most I am doing nothing but giving Banes the advantage.

Actually even though they are 1 level below they still do decent damage to higher level enemies. With TT:M and L:M plus both pet defense IOs they have about 30% defense to all plus they do take some of the aggro off of you giving you 100% defense as you are not being attacked.

However, so I can be fair even with just TT:M, TT:L, and TT:A they gives the pets more than enough to make a difference. Really with all of that it is almost like the Pets are equal to or +1 of you level, in my new build I have included TT:L and TT:A.

I find it Funny how these same pets are great for Crabs.

[/ QUOTE ]

The pets are nice aggro soakers, but with only TT:M, and excluding power pools and IOs, they only have around 15-17% defense, along with 1070 HP at level 50 and with 10% resistance to lethal and smashing, 20% to energy, and 30% to psionic. The resistance to psionic is the same that Mind Link offers. And they are -1 to you, so a boss and his minions or LTs have a even greater chance of destroying them.

They have a base recharge of 15 minutes, and last four. With 3 recharge enhancements, it takes them down to 7 I think, less if you have MT. I'm not good with numbers, so correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am. That gives you 3 or so minutes to either wait for them, or go on ahead and risk it with your lower defense, rather poor resists, and slow and clunky animations.

Seems rather unfair that you don't count Mind Link for Widows, yet the pets for Banes.

The pets are rather weak, unless you are fighting your level.

Interesting statements.

But when things start to go bad, Widows start having better resist along with the great defense(unless its defense debuff) and they have an actual T9. Crabs have the Dullpain clone and more pets, and an aggro-taking nuke thing.

Sure they might not be up every spawn, but when bantha poodoo hits the fan, the Banes are at a disadvantage.

I agree with the placate recharge thing(but it would be cool, I didn't get to try it in beta ), but I don't see a lot of Banes, mostly Crabs and Widows. Mine is IOed to the gills, so maybe this diluted how they perform.

But I'm under the impression that is you get a SOed NW, Crab, or Fort and test it against an SOed Bane, the three mentioned will generally come out on top, both in damage and overall survivability. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

With the new Rouge expansion coming out, with MMs getting Demon Summoning, and with Doms getting some love, could buffs for Banes be coming down the drain?

This is just speculation, of course.

*crosses fingers for lower Placate recharge*

Man this looks cool, so whats the name? I'd like to try it with my BS/Regen.

Kinda scary actually.

wait I got it.
