I only have 1 acc slot on my brute, and its on KO blow
Haymaker and footstomp have 2 recharges + 1 end redux !

I do miss a bit when figthing +3/+4 , maybe my acc drops to 75%,but i believe that someone whit 2 acc slots would also miss vs +3/+4 !
And i always have LOT'S of yellow insp, i keep forgeting to use them ...

How on earth do you hit things w/o acc enhancements? Im not a brute specialist, but since i first tried a brute, i noticed it cant hit anything w/o enhancements. that was one reason because i just canceled my first brute at lvl7 or something, when i noticed corruptors taking out +1s, +2s or maybe even +3s, whereas i can hardly hit +2s without acc slotting.
compared to my corruptor, the brute needs ALOT more +acc slotting to hit. while its no problem to survive damage from +3s, you just stand there beating... nothing

am i doing something terribly wrong?

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't advise taking on much more than +1s until you really can handle them, around the mid twenties for most characters. You get xp faster from defeating enemies quickly, so even for my level 48 tank I generally do my missions on unyielding against groups of +1s and +2s, even though he can take on +3s and +4s in most circumstances, he takes too long to defeat them. If you plan on taking +2s or more without a to hit buff ( tactics, invincibility or rage among others ) I would suggest slotting 2 accuracy SOs.

The superstrength set allows you to get the Rage power at level 18. This increases the damage and accuracy of all powers whilst it is active, by around +50% acc* and +80% damage. So when you have Rage active you don't need accuracy enhancements. If you slot Rage with 3 recharge SO enhancements it recharges just after it wears off, so it is effectively on all the time.

*A +50% to hit buff provides better accuracy than 3 ACC SOs, capping your defence against purple (+4) minions. The accuracy I received from Herostats against +1-+3 for an entire session has been in the 86%-100% region, which would suggest ( but not prove ) that the to hit buff is less than +50%.

Thanks for your post
I didnt fight +2s/+3s until 20-something, thats when i switched from DO to SO. I can now easily take +3s, even +4s.
I was just kind of shocked when i first played a brute, coming from a corruptor, and having in mind that i dont have problems to hit foes

as for the xp, i just used heroestats to have numbers. it turned out that on my lvl39 brute i do an avg of ~ 300 per hour with ruthless, whereas i can do ~500-600 per hour on relentless. however i only tested for a short time, probably 15 missions.

Ive done most of my levels sollo or on a Duo with an irl friend that plays a stalker. The "boring" part is that i get alot more xp/hour when soloing then i get with teams as there is so much downtime with teams both in missions and when waiting for people.

But now at lvl 37 i think im gonna slow down and enjoy some teaming.

Same

im having soul drain for some time now, currently 2 slotted (+acc +tohit), but im still unsure if ill keep it. just doesnt convince me. with soul drain activated ill do a series of 26dmg with shadow maul, instead of the usual 24dmg (8x 2points difference = 16 points of extra damage) [tested at level 3x]. i dont really need the extra acc, since i usually dont have problems fighting +3s/+4s, so i dont know if i should keep soul drain?
im still a brute newbie, any tips or help appreciated.

2nd question is about midnight graps, i got it at 32, and i was kind of disppointed concerning the "superior" damage. well actually it didnt do more than my smallest punch, i dont have numbers, but the damage seems to be ultra-low. as for pve its completely useless, im doing +3s all the time, never needed a single-target-melee-hold, which actually only immobilizes, so foes still shooting at me.
on the other hand it could be handy for pvp, holding those blasters and defenders so i can beat them, but still im thinking about to drop soul drain + midnight grasp at next respec for boxing-&gt;tough.

any tips for me please?

Thanks for the advice, I will stick with the character at least until I can get my hands on some DO's, and get TG 6 slotted. Then I will have to se how it plays.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good choice. I was feeling frustrated with it until I slotted SOs, personally - it just missed too much. With SOs in though, it's much more reliable, and it's such a nice, strong heal... and the added effect of a debuff does make it really quite powerful.

As others have said, just use it often. Don't wait until someone's nearly dead and then expect you can save them - only single-target auto-hit heals can really be expected to do that. I've been in plenty of teams where my Ice/Dark is the only person with a healing power, and it's often enough to do the job. And on teams with multiple /Darks we have no trouble at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good choice your Ice/Dark.
SF + DN on boss + bitter freeze + freeze + TG + blasts = helpess boss

For me its only 2 possibilities:

1) get flight to be flexible in pvp

2) dont get flight, get SJ and have a toon thats capable of dealing/receiving good amounts of damage

corruptors/dominators most likely fall under 1), whereas brutes/stalkers probably want SJ because of the defense bonus (CJ).
and MMs... well i dont like them at all

but thats just my personal gusto..

For me TG is the best heal power in the game. I dont like kinetics heal at all, because you always need to stay near foes when soloing or tryin to heal yourself. sure, its great to have brutes/stalkers healed w/o walking into the crowd, but what about *myself* ?

ive slotted TG 3acc 3heal, which is great. it hardly misses at all, and probably heals best of all heal powers (426 at 40).
compared to other heal powers (rad, them) it already heals good amount of hp at early levels.

again compared to kinetics; i prefer to get to the brute in battle once and heal him, then move out, instead of kinetics "wheres the clostest foe so i can heal myself".

I love my Ice/Dark, too.

The Ice holds don't last long, especially the first one. Stacked, however, they can take out a boss for a short while...

[/ QUOTE ]

Got Ice/Dark as well... i cna almost chainhold lvl42 Bosses... 3x acc 3x hold, am remember, always bitter freeze ray first, then freeze ray, blast your ice bolts, one heal, next freeze ray etc...
single bosses usually dont hit me at all lol.

You guys should know how this feels for some1 probably never having a kheldian...i kinda eat this text within minutes

My highest char (a dark/dark corruptor) is 26 - ok, it's not that high yet, but I've had time to get a decent idea of what's going on. Now, my D/D has Twilight Grasp, a wonderful heal (and with it I can, at the worst, match a /thermal for healing power), but I wouldn't think of using it on decent enemies without Darkest Night debuffing them too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sorry for the offtopic:
lvl40 Ice/Dark, soloing 43s on relentless, never use DN, 3xacc/3xheal TG hits like 95% (and thats probably the most disadvantage of TG, you can never rely on it to save your [censored] when your hitpoints going to zero lol), healing 426.

Started a new fire/rad, gonna see how the healings gonna be with 3x SO.

i'm playing my ice/dark for some time now, and already did the first respec.
im currently focused on single target combat, i'm having no aoe attacks (none!), and im doing pretty well, be it solo missions or team missions. however i didnt play much pvp yet..

well i was wondering if i got the optimal build, or i better should respec again and put some more aoe into my corruptor. i'm 40 now, and i want to focuse on pvp now, so maybe some of you got some tips what power i should use best.

quick note: im not an experienced coh player, so my slotting/powers may seem to be not that good..

heres my current build:

ice:
ice bolt 3x acc 2x dmg
ice blast 3x acc 3x dmg
freeze ray 3x acc 3x hold
bitter ice blast 3x acc 3x dmg
bitter freeze ray 3x acc 3x hold

dark:
Twilight Grasp 3x heal 3x acc
Darkest Night 3x end 3x -acc
Howling Twilight 1x recharge
Shadow Fall 3x end 3x res
dark servant (still not slotted at all)

besides this im having teleport(2 powers), invis (2 powers), medicine (up to rez), fitness (up to stamina), where stamina is 3 slotted.

for the next respec (still having build for pvp in mind), i thought about removing invis, since shadow fall should do in pvp. dark servant will be gone as well, while semi-useful in pve, i think it will be not-useful on pvp. for more flexibility i thought about flight, since i cant follow any player whos got jump/fly with my teleport.
i might as well remove the medicine pool, heals from medicine arent that usefull in pvp.

as for the aoe powers, ive had ice storm and tar patch once, which i didnt find very useful, so i respeced it out. ive seen blizzard couple of times, but imagining a total loss of end in pvp... i dont like this thought lol. although ive got 3 slotted stamina, i keep running out of end quickly when i have dn/shadow fall activated.

i dont want to be aoe at all costs, its fun to play as single target corruptor, when soloing i can easily fight groups of 5-6 foes (relentless) alone.
another question: what do you think of aim for a fire/dark corruptor? i friend of mine had a fire blast on coh, and with aim/build up he easily 2-hitted a group of purple foes..
but ice doesnt have any power where i would say "combined with aim this will be the killer", so im not sure if i should take it at all?

so anyone having tips for me?

ps1: excuse my english, im german and try to do my best lol
ps2: i know theres a german board :P

I used to play in big (good) teams up to lvl thirty-something, but now i prefer smaller teams. i dont like more than one MM, and more than like 4ppl in a team. however i can play solo w/o problems, i did level 38 almost entirely solo.

Hi all, hope all is well!

New to the game, and I am breeding a corruptor for PvP.

Currently I am just at level 3, and have selected Fire and Traps as I thought this may be a fun skill set to play in PvP (the traps look intesting, adn fire potentially powerful.)

If anyone could offer some advice or most importably any upcoming pitfalls while i build my character, i would be most appreciative.

Mainly, I get opportunities to use and "build up" sub skills. But are there any that I should be concentrating in building and other sthat are not so important (in your opinon).


Also, if there are any "no turning back" decisions to be made at certain levels, anything to watch out for woudl be inetrestin to know (for example, do i select fling over speed running in your opinion)


I'm not being lazy - im reading everything on the net about the game, but a headstart would be useful if it may help me direct my time on the best skills for PvP.


Regards

I dont have Traps as Powerset (got Ice/Dark), but a good friend of mine has traps on his MM secondary, which should be similar. I can say from my past PvP Duels/Matches that theres a lot of movement in the fight, maps are big, so you dont have much of a chance to set traps for anyone to run into. I've pvp-ed vs. the mentioned MM, and he set traps vs me, but its easy to avoid them, and since he kept running the traps seemed pretty useless for pvp.

Cap ist Level 40 weil der Content für Level 41-50 noch nicht fertig ist. Auch bei CoH ging es am Anfang nur bis Level 40 und die letzten Level kamen später. Über die Epicpools (kann man ab Level 41 wählen) ist noch nichts bekannt also abwarten und schurkisch sein.

Aso. Gemessen an der Erfahrung mit CoH, ab wann kann man denn in etwa mit lvl50 bzw. epic pool rechnen?

Wollte mal fragen ob es schon eine Übersicht über die Epic Pools des Vernichters gibt... hab bisher nichts gefunden.

Ab welchem Level werden die noch gleich verfügbar? Level Cap ist im Moment ja 42 (wieso eigentlich?)...

Hallo Leute.
Muss jetzt auch mal meinen Frust etwas ablassen.
Ich hab den Preload für #6 zu ca. 80 % abgeschlossen.
Heute beim Connecten dann der Schock: Download mit 1,5 GB!!!!
Und diesen Download kann man im gegensatz zum Preload nicht abbrechen wie mir scheint...
Ichgehöre ich zu den Leuten die DSL1000 und 3 GB Volumen haben. Aber der PC steht im Schlafzimmer, meine Freundin dreht durch wenn ich das Teil die ganze Nacht anlassen will. Und tagsüber lase ich ihn nicht alleine laufen, meine Erfahrung als Feuerwehrmann mit solchen Dingen geht da eher ins Negative (Wohnungsbrände ausgelöst durch PC-Kurzschluss...

Wie soll man den weiter CoH zocken wenn man da solche Mengen an Daten runterladen muss...

Das muss soch auch anders gehen, siehe Guild Wars, ist ja vom selben Team...

Das ist jetzt nen ernst gemeinter Rat:
Ich weiß nicht, wo du deinen Volumentarif hast, aber preislich wird der sich wohl zwischen 0-10€/Monat orientieren. Gib dir einfach nen Ruck, geh einmal im Monat weniger saufen, und schaff dir nen ordentlichen Tarif an.

Wenn du bei T-Com bist, kannst du den Volumentarif auf by-call wechseln (ohne Kündigung), das geht innerhalb 24h, und schaffst somit die Grundgebühr für die 3GB ab. Dann gehst du zu Congster und meldest dich für die Flat an, das geht *instant* und du bist mit nem ordentlichen Tarif online, so lang du willst. Je nach deinem jetzigen Preis sind das zwischen 0-10€ mehr im Monat, was wohl jeder (und erst recht jemand der monatlich für ein Online Spiel blecht) verkraften kann.

Btw: dass wohl ein Download auf dich zu kommt, und dass selbiger bei Onlinespielen auch nicht gerade klein ist, sollte dir klar gewesen sein. In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass du nen 3GB Tarif hast, wär ich bei dem Download/Installation *etwas* genauer vorgegangen, um sowas zu vermeiden. Hab den CoV Betaclient seit 3 Wochen und spiele jetzt auch Preorder damit, und musste nie mehr als ein paar MB laden (ausser am Anfang, versteht sich). Der Updater ist zwar manchmal ne *****, aber nach 1-2 Versuchen klappts (sei es resumen, checksum löschen, nur patchen oder whatever).

Nimm dir das mit ner ordentlichen Flat mal zu Herzen

post scriptum: ich hoffe jetzt mal nicht, dass du bei irgendeinem Exoten-ISP bist, der nicht mit Congster zusammen funktioniert, dann hätte ich mir die Ansprache nämlich sparen können
