    I played Archer/Ice blaster to lvl 16 on the test. currently Im playing Archer/Energy blaster on live, lvl 21 now. The worst part of this set that i could think of is the animation is fairly long, plus there are a few buggy animation of this set. for example, sometimes when you use Aim, the animation shows that you are shotting, in fact i have nothing in targetted. that really kills Aim's active time. if you want to use build-up+aim, it could barely get you 2 attacks within the time limit.

    whats the secondary effect for archery attacks? i heard that the set only provides higher accuracy? am i correct about this. need confirmation. thank you.

    thank you for reading this, i will update more information as i lvl up. BTW, Defiance really sux. i couldnt have chance to use it most of the time. my healers usually heal me up to full health in just 1 try. what can i do? tell them to not heal me, because i want to use my almighty defiance? that aint working. low hp blasters just die the way to fast.

    something has to be weakest in a AT...i personally see no real problem with archery as it does just fine damage imo.

    Remember that kitties have no thumbs so this is a VERY basic, step-by-step process. It does not make the BEST movies but it makes GOOD movies. It's really here as a starting point so people can learn the process. I'm updating this slightly from my post in the Screenshots and Video's forum.

    Conventions used in this post:
    <text> - This represents text. Usually something you're required to type in. There are no <>'s or ""s or anything other than what's inbetween the <>'s. Again, don't use the <>'s.

    Now, one of the best things about making CoH videos is that almost everything needed to do so is free. Now if you want to share them, you'll need to spend a few dollars on something called a "Codec" but it's really not very expensive.

    Here are the tools that you will need:
    1) Sloth's Demo Launcher - HIGHLY recommended for all users and required for the Kitty Video Process.
    2) Virtual Dub for Video Editing - I use this (free) AND Adobe's Premiere (not free) for making videos.
    3) IrFan View - Used for Image Conversion. ZDNet often changes the link when a new version comes out so if you can't find it just go to Google and enter "Irfan View".
    4) DiVX Pro Codec - This is NOT required. It is NOT free. However it WILL allow you to make your movie files relatively small and maintain a very nice picture quality. Kitty strongly recommends DiVX.

    Other than City of Heroes, that's all you need! Nothing too hard yet!

    Now, on to the how-to! <ul type="square">[*] Play CoH.[*] type in "/demorecord &lt;demoname&gt;" to start recording your demo.[*] type in "/demostop" to end it. Zoning also ends Demos.[*] Exit CoH.[*] Start Demo Launcher[*] Click "Demo Dump" checkmark.[*] Set your screen/video resolution. The larger you select the more disk space you will use. I like 1024x768.[*] Set your Frames Per Second. 12 is OK, 20 is good, 30 is awesome. Again, higher = more disk space required.[*] Launch demo and wait. When the demo is done you will have a new folder in your CoH\client_demos directory called "screens" and under that you find another folder named &lt;demoname&gt; with all the JPGs of your demo. 1 for every frame per second you selected.[*] Launch IrFan View.[*] Go to File-&gt;Batch Conversion[*] Browse to CoH\client_demos\screens\&lt;demoname&gt;[*] Click Add All[*] Select an Output Directory (can't be the same as the input)[*] Ensure "Batch Conversion" is selected under "Work As"[*] Change the Output Format to "TGA - Truevision Targa".[*] Click Start[*] Wait for process to finish and click OK.[*] Close IrFan View.[*] Launch VirtualDub (just doubleclick the VirtualDub.exe file in the folder you unzipped it to)[*] Go to Video-&gt;Framerate[*] Click "Change to [ ] frames per second."[*] Enter the Frames Per Second you used in the demo dump.[*] Click OK[*] Go to Video-&gt;Compression[*] Select a Codec, such as DiVX 5 or Uncompressed.[*] Go to File-&gt;Open Video File[*] Change "Files of type" to "Image Sequence"[*] Browse to the output folder you selected with IrFan View.[*] Select only the first TGA file.[*] Click Open[*] Wait a few moments while the sequence is compiled[*] Go to File-&gt;Save as AVI to save your movie![*] Done![/list]
    Now again, this is a very basic process designed only to take a raw demo file and make it into an AVI movie file that doesn't require the CoH client to play.

    As always I will attempt to answer any questions I can regarding the process both here and in PMs.

    And the idea of a servant(s) protecting us as we slumber is a must! I don't know if any of you have ever seen the tv Anime series the Big O, but having my own Norman Burg (a mild-mannered butler with a BFG and whole belts full of grenades) protecting my base would rock!
