My favorite review was from Penny Arcade. It was a combo CoH WoW article that stated, "while WoW takes traditional MMOs and says, 'let me show you a better way', City of Heroes says, 'you know what? %#$@ dragons.'"

That'd make a fine t-shirt. Except replace "dragons" with "elves".

Agreed.

Here.

I've created more MMs - by far - than any other AT. I was so in love with them when I first started playing CoV shortly after release. I kinda burned myself out on 'em though since I've taken every MM primary/secondary to at least 32/38, with the exception of my /pain. He's sittin at 27.

Current roster of toons I actully play:
4 MMs (50, 43, 34, 27)
3 Defenders (50, 50, 36)
3 Trollers (50, 46, 16)
2 Corrs (50, 50)
2 Brutes (50, 50)
2 Doms (50, 40)
2 Scraps (50, 10)
2 Tanks (50, 27)
1 Blaster (50)
1 Stalker (45)
1 SoA (50)
1 Widow (50)
1 PB (34)
1 WS (50)

[ QUOTE ]
The last four are primarily to fulfill my goal of 1 50 of every AT.

[/ QUOTE ]
Only got a stalker(45) & a PB(34) to go I've had a blast trying out multiple ATs and multiple sets.

Edited to add levels.

The only thing I can think of that really freaks me out are greys.

[/ QUOTE ]

What are greys? You mean the aliens or the shade?

[/ QUOTE ]
The aliens. I think it's suppressed abduction memories. Or just X-COM.

OMG...X-COM: UFO Defense.

I was trying to remember things that scared me in videogames while reading this thread and X-COM is one of the first things that popped into my head.

I vividly remember playing X-COM: UFO Defense on the Playstation when I was younger...by myself...at night...with the music turned way up. I'm gettin chills just thinking about it, heh.

Back to spiders...I spent several years in the US Army and saw some weird spiders all over the world. Camel spiders never bothered me, but some of the bigger Joro spiders in South Korea would creep me out.

Freedom Badge & Freedom Badges are the main two.

Freedom TFs is for TF/SF teams, natch. But, you can sometimes jump on more badge oriented runs as well.

Dinged 3 more 50s since the last time I posted my roster. Finally got my first Tank to 50, finished off a project Brute & got my first Kheld to 50 a couple of days ago:
Glebe - shield/stone Tank
Red Wine Kline - ss/shield Brute
Outcross - Warshade

2 ATs left until I reach my goal of a 50 in each. Have a nin/nin Stalker at 43 & a PB at 33.

Dang. My modem asploded last night & I have brain cells to kill this Friday.

Hopefully, there will be some more runs after this weekend

Most I've spent is about 700 million over a course of a few days, IOing my Fire/Psi (the Absolute Amazement set was about 200 million of that total). Of course less than a week after I finished it, the Dom changes went to test.

[/ QUOTE ]
I feel your pain, mac. I recently gave in, after waiting months to do it, and dropped roughly 400 mil on my plant/psi Dom. The very next day I noticed the dom changes /facepalm.

To make it worse, I still need 1 purp set to complete the build. I figure I've come this far so I might as well finish him off...grumble...

Off the top of my head (no acess to Mids at work )

You can save some slots by 4 slotting your shields. By slotting 3 Titanium Coatings & a common RES IO, you'll have plenty of RES and a 1.5% health set bonus from each.

Not a big fan of Jacobs Ladder. (I have a elm/ela btw) Decent damage, but a pain to line up and the animation is on the longish side. Chain induction works a lot better then it used to and it still hits pretty hard. The chain shock is icing on the cake.

Doctored wounds is a nice alternative way to slot Aid Self. You lose the recovery & health from Miracle, but you get another 5% recharge if you need it. Also, you might want to move it up in your build so you can get an int. redux into it.

Mebbe consider 6 slotting Power Sink with the Efficacy Adaptor set and 4-5 slotting Stamina with Performance Shifter. Saves you a slot or 2 and the proc would better serve you in Stamina.

If you can find the slots, might be a good idea to throw some slots into Build Up. 5 slotting Adjusted Targeting is a cheap way to slot for DMG, ACC, and another recharge bonus(es).

Some of these sets will make you hit the wall on 5% recharge bonuses. But, that can allow you some flexability to throw different sets into your melee powers. Different sets for other bonuses or allow you to frankenslot to allow for procs.

Sorry....I'm all over the place without Mids. Hope my suggestions help/make sense
I have had a blast playing my elm/ela. No end problems. High recharge & DMG lets me deal out plenty of AoE goodness. Not very durable, but HP bonuses and Aid Self give some breathing room.

Good luck!

My awesome Commodore 64esque comp wouldn't apply the new patch.

Hopefully, I can figure out the problem by tomorrow.

I'd like to throw my name out there as a filler for either or both.

Have several 50s on both sides, so will bring whatever is wanted/needed/etc.

Despite all his power, Lord Recluse apparently feels the need to keep a pistol at his side, but really, when you consider he still robs banks, he might just be a fan of old school villainy...

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
