[QUOTE=MT_Head;3186330]Hey guys! Any and all suggestions are welcome, I am not a numbers guy, I THINK I did ok but if you guys see wasted slots, dumb decisions, etc, let me know so I can correct. This is the build I am currently running, based on ideas I've seen floating around the forum in this wonderful community (please ignore the level selection for powers and slots, this was just done as quickly as possibly to get your guys input):

If im honest man your way of the mark with this build ...
If your going to IO and /SR toon you have to hit the defence soft cap or its a waste of time. (trust me find the post on the forum ... type city of heroes softcap into google) and you will find out why the 45% def on melee,range,AoE is a MUST!!!
you not far tbh but its the last 5% from 40%-45% that turns you from decent to GOD
My toon has concept of super speed but is dosnt effect you fly version because i didnt slot it ...
This is my current build on my 50 MA/SR Sam Swift (Union)
I achieve perma Practiced brawler and the soft defence cap of 45% with just 4 toggles ... Focused fighting, senses, evasion and Weave
i also slotted fairly heavily for +recov as MA/SR is end heavy toon.
Once again i strongly recomend you research the softcap before spending money on your toon!
hope this helps

Hi,
I am a newly returned CoH after 6 months or so away from Paragon. Just before i left around i16 release i believe a strange graphics glitch cropped up ...
i makes all my contact pictures, player pictures, costumes (when choosing between them) and even my on ID appear either black! or pixelated and distorted!? once my costume slots pictures were all of the 2nd anniversary badge! o.O'
Any ideas?
I use a dell laptop with an integrated ATI Radeon X1270 chipset if that helps.
Many thanks -
My sincerest apologies
I was very angry at the time after just starting the lengthy download process again.
I was rash and rather stupid for wading in and following advice i did not understand... i cannot remember who/where the advice i followed was located in the post but i basically nerfed me ....
Upon review of the post i have found many other different pieces of advice that sound like they would have worked perfectly
Let us not distract from the issue that this problem should never had arisen in the first place mind!
Once again I sincerely apologize to anyone who found this rude and or offensive I was angry, tired and hungry at the time so please forgive my rudeness.
I hope that if I still need help from the forum after the game finishes downloading (some time in the wee small hours me thinks) that this will not deter anyone from posting a reply.
Many Thanks
@Shady Sam ,12 month Vet and faithful (so far) to Union

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Im frankly f***ed ...
I logged out to check if my 12month vet badge had come through only to find i had to purchase additional time ... so i did then i couldn't log back in!!!
with the problem of cohupdater.prv thing ....
after following all sorts of BS advice from the forum i was left like this ...
unable to remember if the original file was a cohupdater.eu.exe or cohudater.exe ((i play on EU btw)) and i had a copy of it i couldnt delete despite being the admin :S!!!
i figured i had probably completely naffed it ... when i tried to run it nothing happened but my CPU went to 100% and stayed there! o.O'
I am now left like this ... i removed every trace of CoX from my comp ... i think and hope ....
and am currently downloading it again ... but it started with the .prv thing which i was concerned about! and now it says fixing files: blah blah
fixing? does that mean it is updating files still on the comp? shouldn't it say installing/downloading?
i just need my mind put at rest ... im so confused and scared i may have broken it forever ...
Will it be ok after i download the game again?
Thanks

Hi
Staright up i know exactly 0% about the workings of game engines etc... here are my thoughts
My favorite super power has always been super speed (flash fan) and my 1st ever CoH toon was a MA/SR scrapper (with capped run speed ofc)
I have never ever wanted the ability to run on walls ... 1 because (yes super powers arnt real but show some respect to the laws of physics people!) and 2 because it would make the travel powers extremley unbalanced with super speed pulling way out in the lead in popularity and usfullness ....
I 'DO' however think the ability to run on water with super speed should be implicated into the game. Is it possible without the massive overhaul formentioned? It certainly seems alot more feesable than wall running ... also the lack of waves in the game would make sense to also...
How would i like to see it work?
1. an option under graphics to enable/disable super speed run on water
2. if you stop running you sink ... and would have to jump back out of the water whilst swimming to run again
what are your thoughts people? sorry for the poorly worded rank littered with spelling mistakes and gramatical errors but this is the one thing i would love to see implemented the most into the game!!!
Peace

Hi also run a dell insp 1521 with the same stuff as you ...
your settings seem incredibly high to me .... if u do still run this machine/remember what it was like where your load times a killer?
i run with Mediumartical -high:world - high:character - and low (with charcter bumpmaps ... my loads times are around 10-20 which is bearable for me ... where yours considerably longer? i would like to no if its simply the graphics or the net speed that factors into loads?

[QUOTE=chaossdragon;2599233]Personally I run a ElM/ElA stalker but my power choices might help you decide...
I use Ninja Run+sprint as my travel power, with SO's I average 50mph running, 60mph jump speed, 40 foot jump height. For extreme height I use jump pack. (for a comparison I can travel across the zone as fast as a teleporter, and only lose to a superjumper by less then 10 seconds. just my 2 inf... You can find me on Champion if needed.
Dont want to start a fight or anything like that
i am just bored at work and was trawling through the forums when i happend upon this statment i just thought i would correct ur ideas about travel powers ...
you wrongly belive sprint + ninja run can beat teleport! o.O
teleport is THE fastest travel power in the game ... because you do not actually move as such there is no speed cap and with a power such as range boost you are a god ...
Fastest Ways To Travel:
1. teleport with range boost and range ench (although only short term use)
2.Super Jump + super speed used together
3.Teleport
4.Super Speed (capped)
5. Super Jump
6. Fly
that is all really
not flaming or anything like that just wanted to try and shed some of knowlage about the game
ty -
Thanks for all the advice you've been more than helpfull
My decision based on this and trawling other Q & A bout this is to run with Fire/Dark as my first Cor
See how it goes if i like it etc ... good or bad i think my next is to Ice/Cold
I never really got on with blasters blue side but i love my human Warshade ... maybe fire/dark wont be disimilar to a point ... AoE, Slows, Heals + Pet
Again ty 4 your help
Gona role him tonight when i get in ....
now to think of a concept ... hmmmmm
-
wow thanks alot man thats some pretty detailed stuff right there!
one thing though your comment about ice made me think ive never had and ice powerset on any toon before and ive always wanted one!
so the question then becomes ....
fire/pain vs ice/cold? (not set on cold if u thinks theres a better one)
ty -
Hi
Simple desision really ... which one!!!
I simply cannot make my mind up about either ... ive got both concepts all worked out in my head but i need to pick (i dont do well when 'mutli - tooning' ... i like top play em to 50)
Can i hear some arguments for each? what i basically want is a good PvE toon ... will be used largly in teams but i might try to do some solo work for the first time on this toon ....
just tell me which is more fun plz
-
Thanks
one question though whats an OP!? lol -
Lol ty for your reply ....
like i said im on sals badgehunters channel but i didnt no about the task force on ... ill have to look into it
I already have the exploration badges in the hive lol and unfortunatly though my 1st ever Hami raid sounds very tempting the 13th is my birthday! and i will not be around that day to play CoH 
ah well i hope theres another one soon !
anyways yeah ill guess ill keep checking sals and look into this other tf channel .... ty for your reply -
