NeonPower

Hi, i've been playing an ELM/ELA brute for a while (currently lvl 32)

i've realised that all the attacks i have i don't use them all that often, and im not even 50 yet.

So i was wondering if anyone could help me with an ELM/ELA build that is;
1) high on res, as it should be =)
2) has as much defence as it can preferably
3) include the updated conserve power, im guessing itll be worth taking now

thanx for reading =)

i don't think i spend much tbh, but then i never have enough to spend when i want to which is wierd... must be all the annoyingly expencive salvage and stuff

thanx for everything, am looking forward to bashing some AV's which i have never managed to do solo before lol =P

and I16 is going to be fun with the new diff options

cool, think im gona use basic IO's till 50,

and im gona do as much influence day job farming (for use of a better word) as i can, to help with the budget.

btw how come you have so much money, is it from having loads of high level chars to farm off of if needs be??

Umbral_NA i love you =P

i have to say your guide was very awesome and i understood the whole thing thank you so much ^^

a couple things tho, i'm not a fan of super jump, but im guessing swapping super jump and superspeed round wouldn't effect much right? concidering they take the same ench's and stuff

also im guessing this isn't going to be the cheapest thing to build so how would you suggest i go about gaing the infulence. should i use day jobs and such from as early on as much as possible. and what about leveling to level 50 because im guessing without these enchs it'll be pretty tough, should i just slot a couple of basic iO's to help me through??

Hey, i am thinking of making a SR scapper that can hit hard, and prefferably fast.

I'm not too good at the whole slotting thing and stuff because i have only got 2 50's both of which are hardly slotted at all.

So what im looking for is;
1) what would be a good primary to go with SR that would give a nice chunk of damage, preferably with nice PBAoE's but thats not important.
2) a little help with the build and slotting so it can be as evasive and offencive as possible
3) lots of tips and help with slotting, possibly in the form of tutorials and stuff =)
4) where could i find the meaning to all the liguo like soft capping which i embarracingly don't know...

thanx for reading =)

i think elA could do with some +percenption in static shield, because any enemy that can use a -perception effect is gona be a struggle for quite a few teams, and its a brutes job to back up the team and take out the hard foes right? just like a villain tanker

so without +percenption you can be left is a sticky spot seeing as most of your PBAOE's need a target anyway...

personally i quite like elm/ela which is the brute i use atm. its pretty and strong =P

pluss i managed to hit the energy res cap, with 40% res on everything else (bar toxic) which im guessing is good when im not using any IO sets, and only have like 3 IO ench's in each armour =P

/ela is the I win button ^^ =D

on a more seriouse note... /stone looks pretty descent, and has some good synergy with elm's lightning rod as well as some nice PBAOE's that looks tasty no?

read the first post and i have to say how the hell did this thread get like 33 pages of replies O_o which is prety strong, and the new forums are pretty

this is just really a topic about how strong and pretty stuff is isn't it lol =P

am i the only person who thinks this is an awesome update, i thought loads of people really wanted to see colour customisation in powers. or is everyone wanting something different now days like voice overs for everything >>

i think it looks cool, and very nice, plus with going rogue coming up do you really expect hundreds of new story arcs in the free issues before it, i think not

i personally think its a little rude to start jumping around going, "what! thats issue 16! but i want this instead... you all suck," c'mon its a good issue stop being so harsh the Ncsoft their doing great =D

how about snow in the city and isle zones??

probally too much fuss to put lumps of snow, but they could make it snow couldn't they???

kinda like croatoa is in the FT missions.

oh and Ps: /signed all the stuff bout emotes, christmas trees, fireworks auroras etc. seems awesome =D

if it was a week, even more people would log on, and there would be much more of a hype about it

this is true, and it has happened before,

i swear all the prices of salvage and recepies are depreciating with the credit crunch tho (even tho it doesn't effect the CoV world at all)

i swear some salvages that used to be worth like 3000 are now on 50-100 influence =S not good

yer i know gold selling is against the rules, but its stupid anyway.

i guess ill just have to wait 30 days or so get the inf bonus day job then get a big team and farm lots of missions or a tf or 2, guess that should get me a small ammount of the inf i need.

this is gona take a while, and im a rather casual player.

ahh well, good things come to those who wait =)

Hey,
i recently got my first 50, and as i really like the invention system i started to buy the purple enhancemnet sets, but my influence depleted pretty quickly, so i could only buy about 2 or 3 of the set and concidering it was from the melee set they were some of the most expencive.


So anyway enough background, i was wondering if theres a really quick was i could ern influence without having to farm missions for it.

i need quite a lot 185,000,000 if im gona buy the enhancements ready made which i think comes out cheaper.

and then ive got the PBAoE set to buy as well.

So does anyone have any tips on gaining lots and lots of influence quickly.

i obviously dont want to gold sell as its a stupid idea generally because influence is not worth real money.

this may seem like a stupid question but i would greatly like some help.

thanx in advance =)

i ogt shot at my a missle turret, almost killed me prety quickly

im really confused at the resistance, its fine now, infact its better than it was in the other zones (+10%), so wth happened with the -1000% bonus =S

oh and also any status protection toggles dont work so the shivans just stun you, oh and the -regen doesn't help i feel sorry for regen scrappers and stalkers, this is gona hit them HARD!!! for any PvP

Was doing a little badge hunting in Bloody Bay and i went in to a group of 2 shivans and got killed in a few secs, im a scrapper and with the regen suppression and -105% resistance caused by the -1000% resistance bonus, i cannot hold myself against more than 1 boss and an lt at the max, i even got killed when i had 4small and one med defence bonus inspiration which gives 75% defence which is or is close to the defense cap.

So my question is did ncsoft aim to make hunting immpossible in these zones, or just to make pvp more balanced for all the archetypes???

and if its the enemies thing was not supposed to happen, then they really didn't think through the idea, and because of the ammount of change, if they do descide to do something it will take a long time.


oh and if im not mistaken wasn't this PvP buff supposed to bring back PvPers?
and what has it done... the opposite!!



Just opened up the game window again, and my resistance has gone from -1000% to +10% bonus,
what just happened, cos i definately didn't have an attack effecting me or anything =S

so if im thinking of sloting invention enhancements into my powers so they will all have quite high accuracy, and i cant take tactics cos i dont have enough free slots what do i do now?
I could possibly keep the self res, or would that be a bad choise?

this is true, so i could sub that in,

so would it be worth taking focused accuracy which could cause me to lose my toggles from edurance loss or take conserve power which would do the opposite??

havn't posted in a while kinda chose combat jumping but am now again in a sticky position.

I have a new build, here it is

1) Scorch
1) High Pain Tolerance
2) Cremate
4) Mind over Body
6) Fast Healing
8) Build Up
10) Indomitable Will
12) Hasten
14) Super Speed
16) Rise to the Challenge
18) Incinerate
20) Quick Recovery
22) Hurdle
24) Health
26) Stamina
28) Fire Sword Circle
30) Heightened Senses
32) Greater Fire Sword
35) Resurgence
38) Strength of Will
41) ((Conserve power?))
44) Combat Jumping
47) ?
49) ?

realised i didn't need fire sword so ive taken that out, put combat jumping in

Not sure about focused accuracy, it takes up too much endurance and i seem to be able to hit most things,

i kinda like conserve power, but im not sure if its worth it when i have stamina and quick recovery and when i slot some -end cost ench's it probally wont be needed at all.

I want to take the fighting pool especially for weave but i dont have 3 slots avaliable, and i quite like my self res, i seem to use it a lot as i am relativly new to this game.

so what you guys think??

so click powers, which ones is it all the click powers you can get from the 2 powersets minus the attacks, or does it include pool powers as well??

Hey i just got the epics tday (woo)
i started a PB, but i got really confused on how to build it.

I want to go mainly for a Form based PB as i really like shape shifts, but with all the other poers i dont know what to take, as i dont think ill be using the human form very much at all.

does anyone have any advice of how i could choose, maybe a sort of backup type human form or something??

pluss the inability to use other powers in the forms, does that include everything appart from the powers you get when shifted, so it would be better to choose power set powers for the human form.

so pleease help, because i dont like playing unless ive planned out my build before, or i always much it up loads =S

thanx


Ps: if anyone has an exemplar nova/dwarf PB build i would be thrilled to see it =)

Well ive reached level 47 (first hero almost at epics woo)
but i dont knoe what to slot in the last 2 slots.
I am a fire/WP scrapper and have taken all of the WP powers and all but fire breath and the taunt on the fire melee side.
i took super speed as a travel power, and the fitness set.
I only have 2 slots so can only go up to the 2nd tier pool power.

I don't know what to do, does anyone have any ideas of what would be usedful for my scrapper cos im lost.

thanx in advance =)

cold domination!!!!

how, we have ice controll already, how will cold domination work??

pluss its a /buff set wouldn't it have been easier to use something else??

oh wait paragon wiki got it wrong...

actually earth control... soz :P

well if i didn't get vines i would probally go for weave of some sort of defencive/resistance power to increase my live-longity

Well as the question says is vines important but before you rush in with a definate yes or no, read the What before answering the Why.

Well basically, i want to know weather vines is worth keeping.
I have a plant/fire dominator so i can kill stuff pretty quick dom style, and instead of holds i normally use my confuse.
So my question is...

if i have a dom in which i have never really used vines in a serious situation, and dont generally need it shal i skip it for a different power or keep it just incase.

this is a pretty big descision because i only have 1 respec and cant afford to buy one for the BM.

thanx for the help in advance.
