By the way Postagulous what do you think of my build?
I guess you hoverblast, but hover and fly are so late. And Fly is pre-capped before even one slot, so when I played with your build, I put the slow resist in that.
In my edit, it's more to my play style. I just attack and attack and attack, mindlessly. I target through melee or whoever's health is dropping rapidly. I'm a team blaster.
I didn't check for if I broke the rule of fives, but I dont' think I did. Permahasten pre-alpha and a 25 sec overlap with Spiritual Core Total Revamp. I don't see a need to get Spiritual Paragon, really, as once you're doing incarnate, you're godlike anyway.
Put the stealth in hover as there is no CJ and I'm not wasting end on some sprint. Hover gets a boost in speed. Otherwise, it's just juggling 6.25 and 5, etc, recharge.
On my fire/ice, I was able to take a hold from ice and also char from the epic pools, there are some trash level Basilisks in them giving me 7.5% rech each. I don't know if you really dig running armor, or the spiderlings, but I'll take the extra rech...plus, for a blaster, bonfire is a great tool, and RotP is the best power ever for a blaster.
My hack build based off your build. [Your stuff is flipped.]

There may not be much with DB/WP because they're pretty straightforward. Take everything in WP but the last two. I can honestly understand the self rez better than I can the Crash with a non-needed buff beforehand.
I've not played DB in a few years, didn't like the combos, but I think you take everything there too. Except confront. Not to diss due to the -75% range, but I'll never take this on a scrapper.
You shouldn't have any issues getting five defense powers to put your LotG in.
Here's my kat/wp asbuilt. Not the most amazing thing, but she's unkillable w/o a def debuff [but hey, if someone's carrying a katana, they are a defense god in their teens]
I'm aware she's not capped, cause I'm also aware she has RttC.
[Edit: holy crap, I didn't realize how ghetto she was. Need to fix that.]
[Edit 2: Oh, she's ghetto because the bonuses pale in comparison to her powers. Why build for anything but rech?]

Based on several threads bashing claws/electric I deleted mine which was in the high 20s. I really regret it.
You do get more aggro than that armor can handle the whole way up to around 28. Not sure about the rest.
I'll remake that alt soon. I've recently come to believe that I don't have to optimize everything, and I really liked that toon.
[didn't delete my horribly dissed-on-the-boards MA/Inv and she totally rocks at 50. Last man standing style.] -
Quote:Make sure to check both. Often the crafted cost less than the recipe+material to craft it. And I tend to wait overnight and get crafted for less than the recipes were going for the night before.Originally Posted by Ashtoreth_NA
I craft my own recipes because I am always poor and the AH is boring.
It's not a bad idea to have (1) a marketing toon, even if you don't market, just to keep bids out you'll need later, and (2) have that toon in their own SG. A dinky crafting room and an enh storage will set you back less than 10m dollars, I think. (I don't think in terms of prestige, because my professional buyer doesn't fight anymore.) -
I'd like to get something started with Melee only stuff. But I've got five days a week busy, though three are CoH regular teams.
I miss my melee since so many people are running MM and I hate feeling like just one of the pets. Or worse, I have an issue with recognizing demon pets as good guys. -
Quote:I hope most people only talk soft capped. I hope they're going for recharge and damage that hits w/o running out of endurance.Originally Posted by Crim_the_Cold
This discussion is interesting. Its not very often that people discuss further enhancing blaster damage. Most people go for soft-capped defense of some sort.
Heck, I don't even use my fire armor.
My damage mitigation is:
- teaming
- hovering
- bonfire [or ice patch, etc]
- Warburg phase shift
- Popping insp in bulk
-
Played my tank with an /AR dev and an energy blaster the other day.
Situation is still the same: You knock it away, you kill it. And I have no rez for you. -
Switch from fire to toxic on AVs? Or is it ice?
-
Hmm, I'm doing OK. Got a lev 22 Ice Tank just gobblin' the Haymakers. Nom nom nom.
Other than that, as long as someone's selling def/end enh and accuracy commons, I'm cool.
But, yes, buying all those, crafted, always at less than 5m. Sometimes at 1 inf. -
Quote:Unless the badge is part of some accolade, I'm cool with anything. That said, I don't use any temp powers, so it's all the same to me.Originally Posted by Luna de Nocturne
If there is enough interest, I could run a second team for a "NON MASTER OF" Lady Grey. If there are people other than me that just want to run a LGTF, and don't HAVE to have the badge. If there's not enough interest for that, one of the badgers can have my spot. It's all good =)
-
I tell ya, bringing that lv 25 tank of mine along, that thing is moderately robust, but can't hit anything. Switching to a 50 halfway through felt much better.
I was surprised Salty didn't have any of the badges for the miniTFs she ran. -
My suggestion, get some farming buddies either via an SG or some other way. Some other way will let you keep a SG for enh storage. Talk with them, even minor changes in the game can make big differences when you're very specialized.
You also might want to directly copy a build off the forums and then modify it over time. If you don't have the vetspecs, you can always run the horrifically boring Terra Volta TF and get one. The reason you'd want to do this is because with a respec you can remove and keep 10 enhancements. I never do huge changes in respecs so this is handy.
And, uh, unless you're really stuck on a Tank, I gotta mention Brutes, Scraps, Controllers. There's a reason that FireKins are like stray cats in CoH. And I think that Fire/SS/Pyre is the Brute du Jour for eating spawns.
Though, with that Brute idea, and all other Fire Armor farmers, I don't think fire farming is going to last forever.
[Hell, remember those lv 1 GMs? What a joke.] -
After thinking about this, I think I'll have to roll one for my stable of alts.
One thing, I don't get just throwing the numinas in RttC. RttC is one of the best powers in the game and needs to be six slotted. I do a mix, and do switch it around on respecs & second builds.
[Edit: seems this thread implies that my Dark Watcher proc is kinda lame in the power. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...rise+challenge ]
I'm thinking my favorite now is two Dark Watchers including the proc, Two from a heal set, maybe Miracle, getting me 2.5% recovery, uh...maybe another tohit debuff...don't really remember.
But in a key, epically amazing power, I always six slot. RttC is a proc holder, if nothing else for those other two slots, and there are good damage procs to be had [again, if memory serves.]
disclaimer: I run this on a kat/wp scrapper, so not exactly the same, but a tank might/should have the mobs clustered around him even longer. -
Quote:It aint billion, cause there's no way I control over 10%...though it doesn't really circulate much.Originally Posted by makerian
I recently saw that the game has like only 50+ billion floating around. Not sure how that's possible, because I have maybe 3 of it, and I feel like I can't afford purples. Maybe they meant 500 billion or 50+ trillion.
Maybe I'll toss a little on the fire just to feel better about myself, no need to change SGs though. Good luck you inf burning maniacs.
Heck, I'd think that 50b would be the WW transactions for the day maybe. -
I'll try this with my fire/ice blaster, Saltier.
-
Hmm, thinking I might park a few toons in Ouro and swap a little.
-
Quote:Ditto. Though if you like people asking you for SB, definitely roll one. Also, I only play my Frad on the Frad superteam. I do have an ill/storm I like, but that's more an out-of-control-ler. And like my energy^2 blaster, is stalled due to my fear I'm being impolite with the KB. [Same with my AR/]Originally Posted by Irish Fury
People keep telling me I need to make a fire/kin controller. I made one, played it to the mid 20s, and hated it.
-
It depends on what you follow it with and the general conditions.
You can do epic damage on a tightly grouped with aim+buildup+RoF+FBall. That's definitely worth it and better than any ST anything you can do.
For ST [like w Marauder], if the 160ish % damage boost you get for 10* seconds can get you more damage than the sum of the other attacks w/o the boost, then yeah. But you already know that.
You could get out the calculator and watch the combat window and figure it out. Just find some robust enemy that won't die in 10 seconds and test it.
*Not really 10 as both can't be fired at the same time, animation, blah blah. -
I'm not implying that there is a DPS issue with DP, it's just that I think you get 20% more oomph by sticking to fire ammo with it's DOT.
Superteams totally rock. Though we ran into an oddity last week with a team of seven fire/rad controllers. Though we blaze through everything with 8x AM [on a full team] the end of Sutter just plain could not be done with the AT.
But I highly reccomend, if you like something, don't listen to what others say. I deeply regret deleting my claws/electric scrapper after the AT got bashed harshly in several threads. But, then again, I've had people tell me that not only that, but a MA/Inv is the wost scrapper.
Recently here, my AR/Dev got the following [paraphrased]: "There's no reason for anyone to have an AR/Dev they've taken to 50 unless they've had it from the beginning [of CoH] or has some sentimental attachment to it."
But, yeah, the only reason I don't do DP is the Gungraveness of it. I'd prefer a little more Secret Agent or Punisher style. -
Quote:I didn't mean the sequence I listed, I was just saying I did only those. My dashes were very misleading. I go between blaze [recharges in 2.74] and blast [recharges in 1] and put ball in when I can, if it makes sense. Chaining that stuff is the only thing that really hits my endurance, and really, I can't sustain it for over a minute or two.Originally Posted by Obitus
And btw, you'd need ~527% recharge in Fireball to buzzsaw the above-quoted attack chain. The cap is 500%, so I don't see that happening. If you are going to include Fireball in your attack chain (which is a good idea if the situation permits it), then you're looking for something more along the lines of Blaze-Blast-Ball-Blaze-Blast-Flares.
And I like that you mentioned that it shouldn't be a competition between Flares vs Blast, though I think I started that since I said Flares sucked [ignorantly] and that I didn't have it on any of my toolbars. And it's hard to add it in, as I've gotten used to which keys the attacks are on. -
I don't dig it either. I'm not of the Gungrave demographic and think it's just plain dorky and you have to keep to the fire ammo to help from being gimped.
Can't help you like them, as I feel you're on track.
Irish should show up to pontificate their virtues soon. -
Same for Freedom.
Wish it were more often than only 6 times a year. -
Can't open it in mids due to lack of datachunk and the site is blocked from work but here's what I'm thinking after looking without Mids.
- I would not slot Combat Jumping like that. The defense benefit is negligible. Throw the uniques like the +6 acc in it. Though, those uniques won't work unless the power is active.
- Not sure what you're working toward. If you are going for recharge, I'd put Manticore into your snipe.
- Basilisk has good bonuses. Four'll get you 7.5% on your global recharge.
- Acrobatics is more for melee people. If you want knockback protection, put a unique in CJ.
- Slot your swift/hurdle/health, and put the Perfomance Shifter proc in Stamina. If you're buying oblits, you can afford that 10x over. And since the stats are the same, you can pick it up at any level and it'll be good to 50.
- EMP is beautiful. Make sure to slot it.
- Also, if you're going for recharge, you may want to pick up some defense mules like the stealth set and put LotG 7.5% global recharge in them. Though make the enhancements lower level as if you're, I think 3 levels below, the enhancement level you don't get the bonus. Going from 37% rech bonus to 0% makes you feel sluggish.
- Throw a third rech in Hasten. Yes, it puts you way over the ED, but hasten is your big friend.
I go for recharge and I team as my form of damage mitigation.
Try a search for "havoc lightning" and you'll probably get some good threads. But think about what you want and make the bonuses go with that.
Edit: To me, even before incarnate stuff, Ragnarok is so not worth it. Purples are only good for uniques and procs imo. [unless it's a red-headed stepchild like confusion or something similar] -
I've got a fire/ice and her Warworks are the stupidest, laziest pets I have ever seen. Maybe it's my positioning, but on aggressive they should go after my targets and even aggro all kinds of stuff I wouldn't like, based on other pets I've had/seen, but this is mostly from my imps and ill/ controller pets.
Anyone else have moron pets? Is it just Warworks? -
I'd like to bring Saltier, my fire blaster.
Edit: Fire/Ice blaster. /Ice...Though I'm sure it's hard to tell as the only powers I took from /ice are shiver and build-up. I think a hold as a basilisk mule.
