This thread is like a fine wine..
I've been out of these forums for months and it's still here and still going strong (and pretty!!).

It's effective but even with QR and Stamina you will still need some end reduction. My wp/sm tanker was out of end very fast with triple slotting in QR+Stam until I added 1 reducer to each attack.
SM/WP is effective and effectively boring, my sm/ela brute is much more fun and dynamic to play and having a damage aura slotted for end redux can save you end in the long run since you won't have to waste attacks on low hp mobs (they'll be gone already
). Power Sink / Lightning reflexes take all the sting right out of SM and add another layer of mitigation through end drain. Also the end drain/slow resists are very nice (sappers & slowers just aren't as big a threat as they are to other sets)
WP is so tough hp wise that fault isn't as vital as it is for other builds though.

I see this ending in an all WM/EA MoRSF.

QR: For this reason I stopped using the weaken combo on my DB/WP Brute after a level or two of having it. I tried using it again when I got RTTC, and weaken still made mobs run but some would catch the rttc taunt and come back.

I'm only going to mention one thing...
Atari Space War

You'r missing the boss extra damage from rage + patron AOEs in order to get 40% more regen and not have to slot an end reducer (and with IO sets and mixing you can get the end reduction without sacrificing). Sorry this looks bunk.

I am loving these Scrapulous posts, keep up the good work man. It's alot easier to make sense of the whole IO thing with these examples then it is from a bunch of numbered charts.

Also MiB can be gotten CoV side without ever entering a pvp zone.

This is such a chunk of garbage, and yes i have some empaths. If emp is all you have to protect an 8 man team its not going to be fun. Half the items in this list are null and void if you have any other kind of buffing debuffing going on. Of course with every other defender i see now being a purile HEELIR this may be the best newbs can hope for.
If i ever see some emp just sitting in the back waiting to use his pureness of healingness on us while we are buffed and fighting debuffed enemies i will boot his sorry backside off my team. This isnt EQ, this isn't WoW, stop trying to pretend it is and contribute to your team even when no ones getting hurt.

This may make some people mad but I beleive it points at bugs within the client itself or client-driver clashes as the source of most head aches.
Heres my system...
AMD athlon 2600
1gb ram
nvidia geforce fx5900 128 mb
Audigy 2 soundcard
The game runs great in high/high, only time i ever have to lower settings is on teams of 6+ in coh or 4+ in cov. Standing out in a rough part of st martial my fps sits around 18. Most missions it runs 25-45.
1024x768x32 bits
4x AA
2x Aniso
Vsync on
Low shaders with bumpmapping (highest my card will do)
O
PS: AA, Aniso and vsync are set from within the driver rather than in coh. -

Anyone know if any of the developers or community managers played MMORPGs before City of Heroes/Villains? Like maybe some of them played Everquest or Ultima Online back in the day.

I sincerely hope not. -
Very nice guide, thank you.

One comment about Traps and Teleport. Its handy to know that Acid Mortar can be moved with Recall Friend, as can FF Gen. You wouldnt really need to move FF gen too often, but it is doable. Being able to port Acid Mortar around is nice, so you can bring it from spawn to spawn with you.

Unfortunately this is being nerfed. You will no longer be able to port any traps/devices stationaries around pretty soon. I'm hoping this means that traps/devices are due for an overhaul/buff and they are just cleaning it up a bit 1st.

Recently, my Earth/Storm controller duo'ed with a lv 20 scrapper, in Talos.
He jumped into a spawn of four +4 mobs. With all my controls and debuffs, his health stayed in the green for the entire battle. I never once used my heal, O2 boost. Surprised that he survived the encounter, he turned to me and said, "nice healz."
Go figure.

Saw this today while playing my archery blaster, we added a rad defender to the team and our success went way up. he was a good buffer debuffer, keeping RI and EF on the right mobs and making sure we got AM. Mission ends and 3 people chime in with 'nice heals'. I corrected them but i dont think it stuck.
As a refugee from wow i was briefly guilty of ruhealeritis, it was when i solod after a particular mission that it occured to me i was missing something. I went after the exact same mobs that the mission had held and got my backside handed to me in a few seconds. Now i knew that in the mission i had been hitting them and they had been hitting me, but i was doing way more and they were doing way less. Last time i ever [censored] about not having some 'pure' healer along because the thought dawned on me that buffs and debuffs in this game were actually substantial, unlikes WoW's which are so weak they just dont matter (like scorpid sting.)
It was at this point i respecced my Necro/Dark MM and actually added debuffs lol. Can you believe i got to lvl 20 something with no tar patch....?
