Pilotball

I had to rework my BS/SD to be more affordable. This is my latest version. I am actually going to switch Whirling Sword and PF for level 38 and 41. Then push everything else back.

Seems to be a pretty cheap build with some exceptions.

I'll try to remember

Mako's Bite acc/end/rech
Harmonized Healing Heal
Multistrike, can't remember
Touch of Death Dam Rechar
Touch of Death ... can't remember

I know there are a couple more as well. I don't have access right now.

A red fortune of some sort...

I'm a superspeed guy so I always keep my jet pack and use it to track down fliers.

Hey all,

I have saved around 7 Set reciepes that I need for my soft cap build between the level of 35-40. My question is this, should I save these to use or should I sell them this weekend while the market is up and wait till next to soft cap my build and buy them back after things cool down?

Thanks

I never had an issue with my spines FA, running the ITF. Ran it many many times.

Really I thought the bonuses expired after 2 minutes without the power on. I could move some slots around.

One more questions, what's the feeling on One with the Shield?

Thanks.

Grrrrr... I'm not very good at this softcap stuff. I've been looking at other people's posts here, and still can't seem to get the same results with the same slotted powers. I must be missing something. I want to stay away from the SJ slotting because then you have to keep turning on/off SJ to cap... which seems like a waste. I also would like to get conserve power as well which I had to drop, I currently have Hasten which is also very nice... but I also had to drop it.

Blah... I don't know what to do anymore. I much like Beekeeper am having a tough time staying alive on large teams with my current IO slotting (no active sets). Solo, I'm a death machine.. with poping a green now and again. (no aid self yet at 35).

Alas, back to the drawing board.

Update, sorry I have 40 mil at level 35... and another 30 or so from other toons. So, by level 40 ish, I should have 100 mil. Is this doable?

So, I have gone ahead with a PVE soft cap attempt. Please let me know if this is even worth while. I only have around 40 mil, on this toon. Some things may have to be replaced.
I had some difficulties and messed around with a bunch of ideas. Please feel free to rip it apart, if you are going to offer something constructive.

Thank you all, another quick one with reference to Mids. I was messing with some of the builds in here using it, and when you go into totals, it grey's out the Attack powers.... although reports some builds to have hit the 45% defence softcap. How is that possible?

I have a question, softcap question. I've never done it before so bear with me. Aiming for 45% defense to AOE, Melee and Ranged, with Toggles correct? So, if I have a full set of IO's in Hack that have say 3% Melee defense, will that be added to the softcap? Or is it wasted? I'm guessing that it is a softcap for that reason that it can be added, but I'm not sure. Next, how much can be added, I'm guess there must be a hardcap as well.

Many thanks, this thread although not starting well has honestly offered me a lot of information. I too was having difficulties on large teams with my BS/DS scrapper, especially if the baddies were orange or reds.

I just rolled a Sonic\Mental Manipulation Blaster today, and I have a quick question, I noticed that after I attack with either Subdual or Mind Probe that there was a buff applied to my character. I right clicked on each of these buffs and correct me if I'm wrong, but it looked like a damage boost. Something like 8% for 8 seconds. The numbers could be off here, but both seemed to show a damage buff.

I mention this because, I don't know if all the powers provided this, but an 8% almost constant damage buff is considerable.

Am I way off here? or if I'm correct does this stack? Anyone? Or is this (mostly likely now that I'm thinking about it) the blaster defiance at work?

No.

I've actually been looking for help arrange such things myself. I give you X-inf on server Y, with you then giving X-inf (minus tip/fee) on a different server.

That whole "who do you trust" thing comes up, though. Not everyone I trust has that kind of influence on the target server, after all, nor do they always have a use/need for that much influence on the origin server...

Some people I play with on a different forum also tried arranging for a salvage "swap meet" ages ago, too.

Yes, the group would have to be moderated somehow. I don't mean with a heavy fist, but there should be somewhere/one to go to that would be able to tell you "yes" this person IS a Banker.

Again, I haven't put to much actual design thought into it.. but the idea has been bouncing..


And yes, I've been on the boards before, so I know where the suggestions and Idea's section is.. sigh... thanks.
This topic kinda pertained to the whole idea that I had, sorry for mentioning it in this thread, self assigned board mod.

I have a better Idea,

This has been bouncing around in my head for a while, but I am looking at starting is two things.

1. A Cross Server Paragon City Bank "group".
2. A Paragon City Bank Global Channel

What I would like are people who are willing to enter into this Channel and the "members" would offer to be the go between for people to move Influence from server to server. Heh, in a perfect world I would like to have everyone wear a top hat and monocole, heh.

There would have to be a some rules.
Global friends must first be made.
Money is ALWAYS transferred to the Banker first.
There might be a small charge, something like 50k per mil... I haven't worked that out yet.
We would also need both a hero and a villain from each server that is willing to trade money.
We would also have to work as a group to make sure that we had enough cash flow on all the servers.

Anywhoo... that's been bouncing around in this crazy lid of mine for a couple of years... I'm just really lazy and haven't put any effort into it.. :P

Does anyone think that this would be a worth while thing to setup on COH/COV?

Pilotball...

When people don't get your bug toon named "Weevil Knievel" nor his buddy "Weevil KINevel"

Thanks.

I have a quick question, how does the "Monster" Jurassic at the end of the Numina TF compare to an AV?

868, 000 for killing +3 Lord Recluse AV, plus mission end bonus. 3 FULL BUBS!!! From 47-into-48

I am not kidding, or lieing. We ran three last missions strings of the partons with Lord Recluse at the end.

He was very easy to kill in a three man group for some reason.

This is an amazing thread, Arcanaville your work on this is by far some of the most interesting reading I have done in quite some time. I bow to you and your ability to break these numbers down and explain them in somewhat laymen’s terms.
Even if some people can not follow all of the math, it is explained wonderfully.

While reading the "sliver of health" theory; 50+ levels of blasting flashed through my mind, and I slapped my forehead, WHY DIDN'T I EVER PUT THAT TOGETHER.

Again, great work, some of the best I have ever read on here. (Circeus's old break downs of the Ice Armour issues were up there too )

Thanks.

Quick question that is a bit off topic, but who gives out the last mission string in Faultline?

Is it Agent G?

Many thanks in advance.

Personally, I like Lighthouse, or more correctly, the way he operates. Yes, he tends to be very politically correct, which his job calls for. He also is very nice, straight forward and honest when he doesn't know or like something.

Most importantly he is a moderator, it's his job to lay the smack down, I've read a lot of crap on this site (and posted some too) that really needed to have the smack laid down on it. It's his job, and he still does it in a "nice" way.

Kudos to you man.

He also seems like a cool guy, and this isn't about kissin his azz, cuz I just don't care one way or another if he likes me back.

I noticed this happening alot since the last patch was pushed out. Last night Hellions seems to be running as soon as you get a hit or two on them. Something has certainly changed in the way the AI is reacting, and not in a good way.

Ditto on not having taunt on either of the toons played, yet they are still running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and when I mean run, I mean run, like half of a LARGE cave map.

How about just playing with friends, that is the only reason I still play.
