Nugget_

Thanks for the speedy replies guys:

Iv've tweaked a little to bring Aim, Fire Breath and Darkest Night earlier, and taken a slot from Tar Patch to put into Fire Blast. As a trade off, Recall Friend is much later (its a 'nice to have' power really) and taken the fitness tree and Howling Twilight back 2 levels..

1) Twilight Grasp ==> Acc(1),Acc(3),Hel(5),Hel(7),Hel(9)
1) Fireblast ==> Acc(1),Dam(3),Dam(9),Dam(17),EndRec(21),Rchg(25)
2) Fire Ball ==> Acc(2),Dam(5),Dam(11),Dam(19),EndRec(21),Rchg(25)
4) Tar Patch ==> Rchg(4),Rchg(7),Rchg(13),Slow(19),Slow(31)
6) Rain of Fire ==> Dam(6),Dam(15),Dam(36)
8) Hover ==> FltSpd(8)
10) Darkest Night ==> EndRec(10),ToHtDbf(11),ToHtDbf(27),ToHtDbf(34)
12) Fire Breath ==> Acc(12),Dam(13),Dam(27),Dam(36)
14) Fly ==> EndRec(14),FltSpd(15),FltSpd(31),FltSpd(40)
16) Shadow Fall ==> EndRec(16),DamRes(17),DamRes(31),DamRes(36)
18) Swift ==> RunSpd(18)
20) Health ==> Hel(20)
22) Stamina ==> EndMod(22),EndMod(23),EndMod(23)
24) Howling Twilight ==> Rchg(24)
26) Aim ==> Rchg(26)
28) Fearsome Stare ==> Acc(28),Fear(29),Fear(29),Rchg(34),Rchg(34)
30) Recall Friend ==> Rchg(30)
32) Petrifying Gaze ==> Acc(32),Hold(33),Hold(33),Rchg(33)
35) Blaze ==> Acc(35),Dam(37),Dam(37),Dam(37)
38) Dark Servant ==> Rchg(38),Rchg(39),Rchg(39),Hel(39),ToHtDbf(40),ToH tDbf(40)

Better?

Is this a viable Fire/Dark build?

I have all the powers I want, but Im not 100% sure about the slotting order or about when I need the powers

1) Twilight Grasp ==> Acc(1),Acc(3),Hel(5),Hel(9),Hel(11)
1) Fireblast ==> Acc(1),Dam(3),Dam(5),EndRec(23),Rchg(31)
2) Tar Patch ==> Rchg(2),Rchg(7),Rchg(7),Slow(15),Slow(25),Slow(27)
4) Fireball ==> Acc(4),Dam(9),Dam(11),Dam(13),EndRec(25),Rchg(31)
6) Rain of Fire ==> Dam(6),Dam(19),Dam(33)
8) Swift ==> RunSpd(8)
10) Hover ==> FltSpd(10)
12) Darkest Night ==> EndRec(12),ToHitDbf(13),ToHitDbf(19),ToHitDbf(36)
14) Fly ==> EndRec(14),FltSpd(15),FltSpd(31),FltSpd(36)
16) Shadow Fall ==> EndRec(16),DamRes(17),DamRes(17),DamRes(23)
18) Health ==> Hel(18)
20) Stamina ==> EndMod(20),EndMod(21),EndMod(21)
22) Howling Twilight ==> Rchg(22)
24) Recall Friend ==> Rchg(24)
26) Blaze ==> Acc(26),Dam(27),Dam(36),Dam(37)
28) Fearsome Stare ==> Acc(28),Fear(29),Fear(29),Fear(34),ToHitDbf(34)
30) Fire Breath ==> Acc(30),Dam(37),Dam(37),Dam(40)
32) Petrifying Gaze ==> Acc(32),Hold(33),Hold(33),Hold(34)
35) Aim ==> Rchg(35)
38) Dark Servant ==> Rchg(38),Rchg(39),Rchg(39),Hel(39),ToHitDbf(40),To HitDbf(40)

Any advice greatly appreciated

At this rate, we might be able to run 2 smaller teams - i hear its easier that way anyhow...

If we all meet at the respec pier in Nerva at 7:30 - 8:00, we'll see what we have and decide what to do from there..

OK - so far we have:

Nugget - 25 Stalker
Blackbone - Stalker - Malefactored to Coffin Dodger
Daddys Little Defect - 24 Dominator
WildFire Manfy - 25 Dominator
Coffin Dodger - 26 Brute

Any more? - especially MM's and Brutes...

Anyone interested? - we have 2 Stalkers and a Dominator pencilled in so far, so we could use some more firepower/muscle

D'oh! - I'd love to join you, but tonight is the only night my gf has off this week..... typical. I must have been a mass murderer or a polititian in a previous life to deserve such punishment..... or maybe a traffic warden.....

Are there any groups planning on doing this respec mission in the next week or so?

I would organise it myself, but I have no idea what to watch for, and would rather join a team that knows what they are doing - I have very bad memories of joining a PUG to do the first CoH respec

Nugget is a lvl 25 Stalker btw

ermmmm - you get Aura and 3rd Cossie slot at 30?...

Seriously though, the same thing happened to me and my blaster in CoH - I took a break for a while, tried some different AT's and went back to him later - I realised I'd missed playing as him, and all was good again

[ QUOTE ]
1 - ehm, two way different moves, stealth is to make sure you're hidden - must have in pvp, while stun just.. stuns nothing like a perfectly timed detoggle, on for example a controller with some AOE shield on.. stun, placate, buildup, AS

[/ QUOTE ]

lol - I meant is Stun more useful to me as a Stalker than Stealth. I have both on my current build, but Stun rarely hits, and when it does, rarely does anything. But lots of Stalkers still put it into their builds - is there something im missing that makes it more useful?

Also, do I need stun, when I have Intimidate?... and does Intimidate immobolise PVP players, or force them to run?

How does this look for a 1st respec build?

1) -->Energy Punch ==>Acc(1), Acc(5), Dam(5), Dam(17), Dam(40)

2) -->Bone Smasher ==>Acc(2), Acc(3), Dam(3), Dam(11), Dam(23)

6) -->Assassin's Strike ==>Acc(6), Acc(7), Dam(7), Dam(11), Dam(21)
8) -->Build Up ==>Recharge(8), Recharge(9), Recharge(9), ToHitBuf(25), ToHitBuf(36), ToHitBuf(37)
10) -->Hover ==>EndRdx(10)

28) -->Energy Drain ==>EndMod(28), EndMod(29), EndMod(31)
30) -->Energy Protection ==>DefBuf(30), DefBuf(31)
32) -->Total Focus ==>Acc(32), Acc(33), Dam(33), Dam(33), Dam(34), Recharge(37)
35) -->Conserve Power ==>Recharge(35), Recharge(36), Recharge(36)
38) -->Overload ==>DefBuf(38), DefBuf(39), DefBuf(39), Recharge(39), Recharge(40), Recharge(40)


My two concerns are:
1 - Is Stun better than Stealth?
2 - Should I replace Hover with Air Superiority?

I want to be good in PvP mostly, but need to PVE in order to level Mind you, Im mostly running "Defeat ? and guards" on max difficulty for the bonus xp, so except for SF's all I need to be effective in PVE is Hide, Build Up, AS and Placate...

What build do you have for your stalker Sekmet? Everything I see is either for PVP or PVP - I've been looking for a balanced build for a while...

hmmmm - you're right - i found this build on the US forums, and didnt really look too closely...

OK ignore that build - any suggestions?

Thx for the advice guys - ive decided to go with EM/Inv

FA was tempting, but my whole character concept is a robot, so the whole fiery thing wouldnt work. I'll see how things go, and maybe make another brute later

OK - does anyone have a good EM/Inv build handy?.. pref not with SS or SJ as the travel power

I want to make a brute, but I have very little idea which sets are good or not. From a purely concept point of view, Ive narrowed it down to EM or SS for the primary and DA or Inv for secondary.

Playstyle wise, i prefer wadeing into the thick of things and getting rid of good guys the old fashioned way... its just more fun that way

Could any of you expert Brutes recommend a good set or build for me please?

Its an unusual mix, but I thought I'd give it a try, but I've never played a dominator before - any help greatly appreciated

Thanks for all the replys guys, but Ive joined E.V.I.L. and i'm having a blast so far

Can anyone recommend a good ?/thermal build for both solo and group?
