Hey All,

I find it rather amusing that folks feel the need to "Thank" the Dev's for telling us what's going on..... It's a reflection of how bad things have gotten in the MMO industry as a whole (not Cox) that we find it unusual to be given info for a service we PAY for, hence this should be the norm and expected and really not a big deal.

I'm happy with CoX and the Dev's in general don't get me wrong, but really folks, they are providing a service that we all pay for and information should be flowing easily, epically when you consider that we travel to their website to find out whats going on, rather then they pushing it to our in boxes or (gasp) using snail-mail as companies had to use in the past or town criers in the distant past.

Our expectations have gotten lower and lower...sad...

Thanks for all the Feedback folks, I guess in the end the question is I have enough +DEF but is just the APP sheilds (Res Wise) gonna be enough? I would think so with constant AB and sometimes (depending on the cycle) 2X Regeneration Aura.

I really wanna drop Fighting to get more attacks or perhaps stealth or something else.

Hello All,

So with I19 coming out and the two FreeSpec's that we're gonna get I am re-evaluating my Trio (yes Trio).

I have 2 Emp/Archers and a Fire/Emp troller, so with 2x Fort on Everyone and 3x Maneuvers running I have 54% Defense (more on some vectors with sets) without Weave.

So I am wondering if I could do away with the fighting pool completely and just use the RES shields that I get with my APP (in this case, Dark).

So do I need the extra 7% that I get with Weave and more RES with Tough/APP shields or could I get away with just what I have now and the APP shield?

I'm Blueside, doing Radio Mish's and the odd AV.

Hey everyone,

My Plant troller (this one is /sonic) is getting to the levels that he'll have to face WarWolves, and since it's really difficult to lock them down (immob wise), what really (other then not selecting Radio Mish's that include them) do to keep them off?

Will Seeds work on them or should I just give up? Current Team is a DB/Fire scrapper and two Plants one FF and one Sonic for tons of shielding. I know the Scrapper can survive them since he's capped everywhere, but what I am afraid of is getting their attention LOL.

Hey All,

My first toons finally hit 40 (woooo). So, now that my APP is drawing near, I have to wonder, from 40-50 which shield do I want the most.

My toon is soft capped (around 46% or so) and has Tough/Weave so I do have some S/L Res going as it is, but which shield do I want now? I'm thinking perhaps PSI res since Carnies have it and so do Arach's but what would you all suggest?

It's all Radio/Tip mishes for me for the most part, perhaps a farm or two with some other toons but mostly Radio.

Hey All,

Now I know there are like a billion Fire/Kin farmer builds but has anyone done it for a Fire/Rad? Can this toon even farm?

If someone could post one I would really appricate it.

Thank you.

Hey All,

So I'm doing a Tips mission that involves Devouring Earth. I'm set to 2x/6 and they are just tearing my group apart.

My trio is 2 Emp/Archers and a Grav/Therm troller. I am soft caped, and have the thermal shields at all times but not only are they hitting me, but I'm getting nailed for 230+ smashing damage and thats with the shields on!!!!

Should I just set my setting lower for this mish or are there any other tricks I can use, I am using the Therm. powers like Melt Armor and Heat E. but it's not making a difference, they hit so hard!!!

Any Help??

It's been stated already but for what your describing I would do a Controller instead, specifically a Thermal one. You get basically the same Heals that Empathy does and buffs (Forge and the two resistance shields) and a Clear Mind (Thaw) power, a good Rez (better then Emp does) plus you get some debuffs that Empathy does not have.

For the Control set, I would go Plant, it's a good first Controller set, yes the pet is not considered top tier (like Fire or Stone) but the level 8 power Seeds of Confusion is IMHO the best power in the game, you cast this power and the mob's turn on each other, freeing you to attack and buff more since you'll have to heal less.

For a "more fun" Controller set, I would go Gravity, I just loss tossing the foes around and the last two powers (Wormhole and the Pet Singularity) are also top notch. Mind you, your tank isn't gonna like it as much since they generally prefer to Heard around them and you'll be tossing foes left and right (Tanks.. Bah... Glory seeking attention hogs!).


You'll get all the Heals/Support you want and still be quite useful at higher levels since you'll offer more then just "green numbers"

Hey All,

My current team is a pair of Emp/Archers with a Grav/Therm troller (Singy is a wicked pet).

Now, given this trio, I really don't slot any ACC on my powers because each toon has either Fortitue/Forge or 2x Fort depending on the toon so +Acc is not needed but I understand that not all powers (like the ones that spawn psudo-pets) pass on the global ACC of the user, so given the two AT's I listed, which powers do I have to slott ACC in? I'm guessing ROA and perhaps Wormhole?

Any help would be appricated, I have all the Archer attacks and everything on the Grav minus lift.

Ok folks, thanks!

Well,

Although a Corr duo seems like a better bet damage wise, a duo of two Emp/xx would be my way to go, with the ability to Fortitude one another, plus the Aura's, plus Adrenalin Boost which can be made Perma at 33 with Hasten going, you'll do damage at a rate that makes whatever bonus Corr's get seem trivial, toss in 2x Assault and Maneuvers and your basically untouchable.

Edited: Let me take out that last remark.
