sorry but could someone tell me what time it's opening for NY, i'm a bit slow...

i was just curious for an outside build should i slot purely for recharge to get energize up asap, or try to softcap def?

also was wondering with a few of you running multiple toons to 50, if anyone would be interested in a lvl pact, i would be willing to do the same.

does anyone know the best type of character to use for running the tip missions quickly? i wanna be able to bust them out quickly so i can go on to other things (characters). was thinking setting mission difficulty to -1/x1 and making a single target heavy hitter but not sure what.

just curious, is there a way to monitor how many tickets u've received during the mission, without having your salvage window up? just to make for quicker runs.

Sonic Bomb sounds like it would be better as an APP power

I thought about that, but this is much more of a stretch of the imagination versus cauterizing wounds, or using radiation therapy, etc.

so with Sonic Resonance being ported to MM I was thinking of rolling one, but I know it leaves much to be desired, so i figured I would put in my .02 inf on some possible fixes and see what people thought.

First off I know the complaints about a resistance set not having a heal like Thermal, but I did a quick google search and I found that ultrasonic vibrations can stimulate cells allowing for faster healing. Granted I know that's stretching things, but this is a game after all where anything is possible. (Don't even know if it's true, but I bought into it)

So with that said I see no reason why we can't add a +Regen effect to Sonic Dispersion and just increase the end cost to compensate.

And since we're adding +Regen, no reason not to put in some -Regen in Sonic Siphon, I figure it's not gonna be as good as Benumb, or Heat Exhaustion, but a low mag is better than none.

As for Sonic Repulsion... if the medic (Merc primary) worked as intended for example, or phnaty then i would say leave it the way it is at least for those two archetypes. I have 2 suggestions for this power otherwise... 1) Simply turn it into a Repel clone (i.e. self targeting). OR B) Make it a self AoE KD, so we don't get that crappy extra end drain for each enemy KBd, I know Repel only costs an extra 1 end for each, but I still hate it.

Clarity - Remove the Hold and Immobilize protection from it (we already get it in Sonic Dispersion and I figured Clarity is more a mental thing whereas those 2 are more imho physical impairments.), and add Psi Res, and a +ToHit to go along with the +Perception (and should help with the fact that this set has no -DEF).

The rest are pretty straight forward. I think I may have seen some of these suggested else where: Sonic Cage can be turned into a hold a la Petrifying Gaze, Disruption Field can be switched to an enemy AoE like radiation's debuffs, and Liquefy can have it's recharge reduced if they take the damage component out and and reduce the hold mag or reduce the chance it goes off.

So there ya have it. I love sonic powers, just wish this set was a little more user friendly. So comments, complaints, confusion???? Let me know what you think, and please pardon any grammatical errors.

so if I switch from the fire APP to stone would that allow for soft capped s/l def and permahasten?

i've been trying to get a perma-hasten and ranged defense soft-capped build, and it is just not working. I can get perma-hasten just fine, but to get soft-capped I end up gimpimg my damage by taking mez io sets instead of damage. Is it even possible to do both? (not @ home so can't post any builds) any help would be appreciated.

he likes his Brute, played him for a bit yesterday got him to lvl 5. he plays all on his own, and appears to like it. i told him he could make other characters if he wanted, so he also made a blaster (AR/elec), i don't think he really got to play him though. my computer is currently the only one with the game loaded on it, so we can't team up.

just wondering if this has been corrected yet?

actually he doesn't play alot of video games. We picked claws/wp brute. He's running tutorial now. Thank you guys for ur help.

my little brother (9yrs old) wants to play coh. I want to start him with something easy. What would you recommend? I was thinking MM... But maybe a tank would be better?

Farsight could be a toggle, there is no evidence it isn't and look at dispersion bubble's symbol, they're the same. so there is still hope.

if they do a tech assault I really want a satellite laser cannon... A flash of light and a beam shoots down from the heavens...BOOM!

and if they're saying that this round of proliferation were things that didn't ned a lot of reworking, so doesn't that indicate that if/when they do port illusion there will be changes to the set.

and what about AE xp? Is it doubled too?

i'm only lvl 10, but it's going to be a end hog. I run at -1/3x, so I get lots of insps, which I use. I like to use the insp. combing feature to make geeens and blue when I need them. I like it... Heavy hitting attacks, so I kill lts in the group, then pick off the rest.

I just hit lvl 28 w/ my DS/DM toon. I love this character she has beome my favorite character by far. It is true you are constantly doing something. I use hover instead of cj, same def numbers. No immob prot, but I think it has better maneuverability imo. And I love my whip attacks, though I may drop the single target ones later. Otherwise I agree with all that has been said so far. I get right in the middle of a mob for maximum healing potential, so s/l def is a good way to go. And hasten to get dark servant up as much as possible.
One minor note about your build. I plan on putting all four pet aura procs in hell on earth, and leaving it at that, but that's just personal prefference. Hope this helps.

nvm, I got what I needed.

ty master... i guess i'll just stick with what i have now. it works well enough.

i looked over the list of binds given in another thread, but i didn't notice if it was possible to bind multiple buff powers to the same key... i am a thermal mm and i was hoping to bind thaw, fire shield and plasma shield to alt+ left mouse key (if possible). any help would be appreciated.

thank you for the reply. I didn't even think about the DoTs effecting the sleep from static field.

and yes, jolting chains was just meant as a et mule for the recharge bonus... I guess i'll look at some elec/fire forum topics and see what they say. I have until morning to decide. :P
