I searched for a thread providing bug issues and could not find one. Feel free to comment on any PvP issues you're experiencing on live below.
My purpose in making this thread and the reason I searched for one in the first place is because of Staff Fighting on brutes.
In PvP only, the brute version of [Innocuous Strikes] does 353.58 base damage. Compared to the scrapper and tank versions of the power (dealing 142.44 and 110.81 base damage respectively), the brute version is horribly unbalanced, some would say broken (I do).
All that needs to happen is for the base damage to be lowered to about the tank damage (around 110 base). It is a similar issue to what was wrong with [Concentrated Strike] from what I can tell. I saw this when the set was on beta, but it was not addressed, so I came here. -
You'll just want to decently proc (2-3) CU, put the hise proc in AS, and remember to get the stealth io in ss and a percep io in tactics (to see other stalkers). You also want to get run speed capped to chase/escape easier. GL

Hello,
I recently got a new mac computer running OS version 10.6.8 and installed the launcher onto it. This worked fine, but when trying to install City of Heroes, things went awry. It is able to download the installer, however when it tries to copy it to the applications folder, the message 'ERROR City of Heroes was NOT installed! - 2' appears and the installation stops.
What can I do to fix this and get this awesome game on my Mac?
Thanks in advance,

I'm making a dm/ea for fight club and am wondering what would give it the most trouble. Should be able to -tohit enough to burn through rage+tactics+kismet, however, ss toons with foc acc are an obvious source is dismay for any def based toon. Other than that, are there any melee characters to give them trouble?
Thanks in advance. -
As far as I've seen the only way to beat regen brutes is with the damage of a claw scrap, dual blades brute, or a scrapper using spiders. Even still you'd have to survive quite a while. My dual blades still took around seven mins to kill decent regen brutes.
I think with hybrid regen will suffer a bit, as well as the new incarnates that will come after it. Don't get discouraged though, just stick with something you enjoy and don't worry so much about beating everything, nothing can. -
There isn't much reason to change anything right now as far as I can tell.(And I pvp a lot.)
With the huge changes being discussed concerning procs, as well as the incarnates coming out, changes would possibly have to be reverted and modified to accommodate them. Like Zwilliger said earlier, making pvp changes will most likely not be anywhere near the top of the devs list for a good while given the things I just mentioned and the issues that will surely come with them.
As far as reverting to pre i13, that would absolutely massacre pvp in the games current state. IOs alone make DR necessary (then add in incarnates)... Fighting 80% defense tanks and 70% resistance/defense ranged toons would be enough for me to consider throwing in the pvp towel.
The option was mentioned to remove incarnates from pvp to increase variation, however, I believe that would end up decreasing variety in builds. Builds that were overlooked due to having a huge weakness (ex. SR missing a heal), can now compensate with incarnates to make them an option.
As it is, I think pvp is in the best place it can be (TS is up for discussion). If you don't like the current pvp, well, you better get used to it as pvp changes (not counting the affects of incarnates and possible new procs might have), will probably not be happening soon. -

I was thinking more along the lines of good powersets on archetypes and such.
Dark/poison corr
Ss/regen brute
Fire/mm blaster
Dm/ea scrap
Ele/ss tank
These seem to be some of the more popular builds. They typically do pretty well compared to other types of the same AT as far as I've seen. -
From experience I will say that it is entirely possible for a melee toon to do well in zone. My scrapper has no ranged attacks (besides Void), and he is able to get a lot of kills by just chasing down ranged toons. To answer the OPs question, anything with a 3 min t9 power and burnout will be able to do well in zone pvp. Then you will either want a damage set with good burst damage, or ranged attacks to out blast ranged toons. I was looking at a Spines/Energy Aura/Fire Mastery for a ranged scrapper. As far as the burst option, Kinetic Melee is currently the strongest option, however, it is getting nerfed in the next issue so I would recommend looking at another set.
Good luck with whatever you decide to try! -

Just use ^^this^^ format for signing up, thanks!

It is obviously built towards fightclub/melee characters, was just leaving the option open for anyone who wanted to bring a ranged toon as there are plenty that give melee (and any) characters good fights. I was not trying to be elusive with the way I described the tournament, I was just explaining the rules as I thought they should be.

Hey it's Pain! I would consider taking mu mastery as it can compliment drain psyche really well and get some sick end drain. You don't really need bonfire and could prolly take psychic wail by taking a few slots off your travel powers. I'll see if I can post a build tomorrow when I get time.

definately take tough and i would take aid self just for the extra heal.
then you'll need a travel power (ninja run ussually isnt enough), id take super speed so if you get -jump you can still move. -
