And NO CoH does not need to use the Crysis engine... too many computers around the world would weep!

I don't know, it seems to me the CryEngine is superior, talking only about graphisms and optimization. All settings on Low, Crysis still looks better than COH maxxed out, and requires less hardware power.

If you don't follow the guidelines you're playing dice with how effective your PuG team will be.

I don't believe this. One good player with a good build on almost any AT is enough to carry a PuG through the Cap SF in less than 40mn, unless you run into retards/griefers who do stupid stuff like sitting in missions, standing still while they have the hostage, and other things like that, but in this specific situation their AT is irrelevant.

Go solo Bobcat.

Done. Next ?

There's a way to get EBs instead of AVs, it's called "lower your rep". If you can't handle AVs, you're not Invincible or Relentless, so what makes you think you deserve this title ?

*edit* Damn, got tricked. I can't believe the OP really complained it was hard to solo AVs in 2004, with no ED and insane HO values.

An attack is NOT just about damage, it's also about any other status effects it gives.

Agreed. This is why controllers are so awesome, their attacks come with long duration immobilizes or holds. What's not to like ?

Only 1 res IO in PS and no conductive shield... Your builds are only around 70% res to fire/cold, 65% toxic res and 55% negative res.

Then there's all the other things : CP instead of Power Sink, picking Stamina, Hecatomb set in your longest recharging attack... uuh.

These are fine concept builds, but there's ways to get Power Surge up as often without gimping your build so badly.

In my experience, Recluse's spawns is a ranged power that can be used on ground only. If the tanker is flying/jumping non-stop, he can't use it. If the tanker is in melee, he won't use it. If the tanker is on the ground but at range, he will use it.

Nice thread. And...

So my four year old soloed five radio missions set on tenacious with a fire/fire blaster.

I'm going to quote this everytime someone complains about the game being too hard.

But to me, she has always felt powerful and a breeze to solo. I wish I could figure out what the disconnect is with so many people and this armor set. Guess some mysteries will never be solved.

My guesses :

1) Some people use random keys during the fight, instead of thinking.

Dark regen gives you Instant-healing like regen ALL the time, *if* you time it well. If you use it too soon or too late... you're dead.

2) Hey... what's...... going........ on........... guys?

It seems crazy to see people saying "disorients/fears suck because I can't get my Fury bar up", while we all know it's easy to get from 0 to 90 with only 3 minions. It's because these guys take a coffee break between each power activation. Or maybe they just hit random keys. See 1).

3) Inspirations give cancer.

You've all seen these guys. They're usually the first to die in a PuG, and when you try to give them a wakie, you get the "Couldn't give inspiration to Faceplantedbuddy - Inventory full" message. Well, DA is awesome against normal groups, but pretty much sucks against AVs if you have no support and aren't willing to use inspirations.

4) We need teh heal0rz. Everything else is garbage.

Sets with no/low heals get a lot from heals. Stacking heals on top on resistance tier9 is pretty great.

DA mitigation comes mostly from Dark Regen. It doesn't get as much as other sets from heals... and as people don't know how great RES/DEF/HP buffs are and focus on getting more heal0rzz, they think DA sucks.

5) Which is better, 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 or 50 + 115 ? Screw this, math is too hard !

Some people use only SOs, and slot really poorly. Like, 2 acc 4 damage for attacks, 6 res for shields, and so on.

This can "work" for other sets, but as a DA you need to slot a lot of end reductions, or use IOs.
