I hit 17 last night and It's been great so far. I took the plainguy version ( thank you kindly
) as I WAS struggling with endo.
I see a lot of DFG calls. I guess that is the new AE power level bit? AE was how people were doing it when I was still regularly playing my heroes. I like doing the story arc stuff so looks like I'm solo for a long time. Ah well.
I can certainly see where endo will be a problem with this with a lot of toggles. My WP/Stone tanker ( my main when I left ) and my Emp/Mind 'trolololer ( my original main ) never has that problem
New things to learn! It's what's making the Defender so fun right now.

Thank you kindly for the advice.
I couldn't imagine hostility for good advice, although this IS the internet.. so maybe I can. You wont from me however
I'm going to try and plug those thoughts in so I can see what it is you're helping with I'm a numbers guy, I need to look at them for them to make sense. Will my defensive numbers be close? I don't know why I focus so hard on getting everything up like I do, but I wanted as little to worry about defensively as possible. I know I lack a bit ( ok a lot ) in dps, but I think perhaps I can outlast instead of out blast?
Wonder-mids power ACTIVATE !
Again, thank you Psylenz.
EDIT: Ok, this is what it looks like. I loose quite a bit o recharge, but everything else is pretty doggone close. From what you tell me it makes my pet an entirely different beasty so that is very nice indeed! I'm guessing my heal is a lot better too now? Here it is with the changes. I changed Combat Jumping for Hover.

The title says it all. I am recently returning and wanted to give a defender a go. I created a rad/rad but it just ... it just wasn't me. I can't explain it, but I really didn't bond to the power sets. I DID like rad as a blaster though, so kept that and dipped my toe into the cheese "
Dark
The idea of having two pets seriously appeals to me. I was primarily a controller player Waaaaay back when, and this is certainly going to play like a Defentroller ( I hope! )
A few things; I KNOW I can get more out of this with the PvP sets and what not but I'm not a PvP player in CoH, I know realistically it's just not going to happen. Also, being casual I didn't put any purple sets or Hamis in.
Having said that, did I miss anything glaringly obvious?

Well after a bit of time in the character creator I think I'm changing from Mace to Dark as my Defender took a different direction during creation hahah
Retooled and armed with a bit of forum scrounging I hope I've improved him a bit. I'm a complete rookie at this stuff so I'm betting it's a tad unconventional. I guess that's what respecs are for I may not like the powers, but it's going to be fun trying him out.

Hello folks,
Long story short I'm a returning player who was a beta player. I put in a few years then moved on like a great many people I suppose. I have popped in from time to time to scratch that itch ( ok read into that "go on an Alt rampage to end them all... until the next time..." * sigh * )
In all my playing I've never really dipped my foot in the defender pool. I want to fix that. I also am not too interested in FOTM or Uber leet builds, but having said that I'd like to be in the ball park This is a thematic build so Rad/Rad it must be. I'm pretty set on Mace as well.
So here is my woeful go at a Defender.
Be gentle, and thank you in advance

@ Erin Go Braugh Thank you very much. I'm a tad rusty at the frankenslotting so will absolutely see what you were driving towards.
@ StormyDarkness eh, thanks? -
I've been away for about a year and felt the need to scratch my hero itch again. The thing is, I want to play something well out of my comfort zone AND something different. I don't recall seeing a defender running around ( probably a good reason for it, but I digress ) with this AT combo. To my mind it will play like a controller with a bit more punch. I would think it could be viable in a group but I'll let the resident experts work their magic on this thought experiment. My focus was getting ranged defense to a solid level and then getting my lock down skills to a level of consistency. I've been out of it a while so lemme know please
Thanks !

I was weened on waiting, having played EQ1 from the first day live. Compared to that * staring at a book anyone? * or waiting as a warrior for your HP bar to climb . . 1 . . . hp ... at ... a ... time. CoH is a breeze.
If you're a button masher with sprint on, you're doing it wrong. If you're using the biggest hitting damage power ( and thus highest end use usually ) to finish off a mob, you're doing it wrong.
End management keeps the game in balance. It's part of the game and a facet you need to figure out. If you're a long time player and still haven't got it under wraps, I'd say it's a you problem, not a game mechanic problem. Just my opinion. -
My "Hyper Bow" build serves me well enough.

ST Blasters with a good Tanker = easy mode. Target the Tanker and burn down the bad guys quickly and safely. All other scenarios require restraint, planning and a good team. You are just as effective/useful, it just requires more of you.
-
I have Hurdle/Health/Stamina on my Fire/MM and don't regret it one bit. Like was previously posted I hate not having hurdle too. You have the option of trying both with your switch build and seeing what feels best/acceptable to you.
Eryq2 you answered your own question:
" ...and not getting into melee " -
No real surprise that I am a big fan of WP / Stone Melee. It solos well, comes out of the box at lvl 1 hard and doesn't really let up. WP is fantastic for tankers as it makes you better with more bad guys around you ( a tankers job! ) Faults damage mitigation is team friendly and can make leveling fast as it combined with WPs regeneration/recovery = no down time. Reaching the defensive caps is a breeze. The knock against WP/Stone has been it's lack of taunt. I have come to this conclusion about that. I taunt just fine. If said bad guys are disoriented or on their butts it is = to or better than a taunt aura. In groups you only need to keep them occupied long enough for the DPSers to wipe em. Taunt and two faults gets nearly every group I've ever faced while teamed ( Malta and Carnies included .. speaking of Carnies .. Stone WP laughs at them .. seriously ) handled.
I've recently ( 2xp weekend ) created a Shield/Stone Melee that I've completely enjoyed so far.
Just my enf. from here outside the box

My Hulkish build is very very simular to Heraclea's. I borrowed a bit ( ok I flat out used :P ) some slotting ideas from Herc's post on her build from a few years ago. I integrated some of my own ideas from my Tanker experiences. The main difference of the SS/Inv tanker is the endo usage. It took a bit of time to get the timing and what-not down from my Willpower/Stone Melee tanker which NEVER has endo issues. Anyway, this is just a new perspective for you ( The O.P. ) to peek at. Ultimately there is no one "right" build. Your playstyle will dictate what "works" for you. Just have fun with it !

Quote:Who said anything about animation time?Originally Posted by Brynstar
Do you mean Total Focus because AS and Bonesmasher have the same exact animation time?? -
The first point is on the head mate. I have them to stack on bosses, or rather the stunning shot used to with my older version. The recharge on this version doesn't allow me to keep them perma stunned so the cryo cycles between shots.
The Air Superiority is really a way to get a ST on it's butt. It cycles fast, hits reasonably well and has that oh so wonderful knockup. Against Lts and lower it's 90% ( it seems like ! ) likely to flip em. That it's a mule too is icing. Power thrust is "ok" but doesn't hit as well as AS in my experience.
As for Bonesmasher... well it's 3x as slow activating and more than 2x the endo cost, doesn't have a -Fly and really the only thing I like is the energy damage it adds. I'm not a blapper so not as interested in spike damage from a melee attack. Different play styles and all that
-
Just to give a another point of view for you to look at I'll submit mine. It's a little pricey but not over the top by any means. I focused on ranged defense ( It's soft capped ). As the poster above me, I like to hover blast, however I like the combat jumping + hurdle combo early on as a mini travel power. I like having combat maneuverability with this build as it makes getting into position much much easier. I also took stunning shot and cryo freeze ray as a boss stopper. Total Focus and Air Superiority are a nice get out of my face melee option should you find the need. They afford you the time to get back in the air and into hoverblast range. Don't forget that you can have Hover and Combat jumping on at the same time for added defense.

Hello blaster community, I come with yet more questions Mostly I want to know if I've missed the mark with my current build? I group probably 40 - 50% of the time currently with my blaster. I'm not sure why I've been soloing with him so much, I guess because I can. Currently He is 25 and a load of fun to play. With a double exp weekend looming I'm looking to get a final build together. Thanks for any help, you guys n gals all rock .. but you knew this, didn't you ?

Yeah, you take a DPS class then state that one of the things that boost that DPS is a crutch ?? WTH? Your failing in it's use does not make it a crutch. Personally I have 2 "build up" type powers in my scrapper and blaster builds. I've never had a problem using them....
-
I thought I would take a stab at this since I've played the WP set pretty extensively, although on my tanker, the theories should still apply.

I just broke the strong pretty code of your post...... so strong .. so pretty. -
Quote:Originally Posted by Not_Rhino
Ahem... dinosaurs are NOT modern reptiles. In fact, many scientists now believe dinosaurs may have had many characteristics of warm-blooded animals, including being endothermic rather than exothermic.
Not a single theory that we've come up with has been proven. We don't "think" they were endothermic. Thermoregulation has been a heated ( pun intended ) topic since I was in college in the 80's. As you state ( although it is postured as truth since it is a rebuttal of sorts to refute my claim they are cold blooded ) they MAY have CHARACTERISTICS of endothermic creatures. There has been speculation that certain characteristics lend themselves to an endothermic result, again as you state, not the least of which are;
Speed - It is theorized that dinos that were erect and moved fast must be endothermic. The problem is that we don't know how fast they moved, no evidence has been found to support the erect posture as being a marker for endothermic status. Besides that, we don't know how fast they moved. The need for a 4 chamber heart to pump blood from the heart to the brain ( which is also theory only, but likely ) doe not specifically suggest an endothermic creature.
Location - Fossils have been found in Alaska and even Antarctica so they must be endothermic to cope with the cold. The problem with that is in the Mesozoic period those places were a great deal warmer, and in fact may have been nearly sub-tropic climatically speaking.
Size - It has been suggested that they grew very fast to get to the sizes that they achieved. The problem with that is we really don't know what their life span was. If you look at reptiles in nature now it is easily surmised that they lived a very long time and had ample opportunity in 100+ years like turtles ( http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th...an_of_a_turtle ) or even birds ( eagles and swans can live as long as 150 years and they're dinos too ! ) to reach gargantuan size.
I would also suggest that homosapiens are not modern mammals yet we can reasonably state that they were omnivores, warm blooded and social by nature. Ancient or no, the rules still apply to physiology. -
After loving my WP / Stone Melee tanker so much I hashed out a Mids build for my next tanker. It's beyond expensive .. not realistic for the average player at all, but I wanted to go all out and make a Hyper tanker with the defense you would expect a Tanker to have. I came up with this :

This is exactly why you should include a data chunk or direct link kiddies .. I wasted about 20 minutes building the above shared build ... it's not close to what the OP is looking for and, frankly, I don't get what you're shooting for. It's about as average as you can get with 5 purple sets.
For those that don't want to spend the time in Mids .. here ya go.

Sorry that doesn't work, you have 6 purple sets giving 10% recharge.
Rule of 5 means that you loose the set bonus on the 6th set.
Look now.
