P.S. And if MM's are supposed to be the tanks of COV, why don't they get taunt? Why bother giving taunt to brutes at all. And brutes do have a taunt aura...just by being brutes. If you don't believe me, park your brute next to a grey enemy who would have no business attacking you...and he'll take a swing at you.

This will probably blow your mind, but try this concept on for size. They don't have a taunt because City of Villains HAS no 'tank' class. It breaks the mold. Teams don't have the holy trinity of Damage Dealer, Healer (or buffer/debuffer), and Meat Shield.

Masterminds can do some tanking, while dealing impressive damage. Their 'tanking' comes from the fact that mobs have to divide their attention among a bunch of recreatable minions.

Brutes are extremely durable, but not really built for tanking. More built to keep things attacking them enough to build up fury so they can go BRUTE SMASH.

Corrupters can fill your typical buff roll, but their mainly damage dealers.

Dominators are your typical lockdown type, right? Wrong. They spend as much time dealing out damage as they do locking things down.

Stalkers are the only class which has a narrow focus. Every other AT villain side is a hybrid designed to do multiple things and be self sufficient. They work together well, but no one class needs another for protection or damage. Thus there is no 'tanker' role. There's also no real "healer" role, or "damage dealer" role because everyone is a damage dealer. You want buffing/debuffing? Go to either a corrupter or mastermind. Both will also be bringing good damage unless the player gimped them self.

And I may have misled him by stating that MM's are the pseudo Tanks of CoV. What you just stated is what my tired brain should have put out instead.

I'm not saying that. Herding is part of your problem. Not even Tanks are designed for herding anymore, because of the aggro cap. Brutes are more suited to just being offensive powerhouses of Fury with awesome defenses to back them up, not nearly-invulnerable juggernauts that take and hold aggro.

Don't ask me. It was a dev announcement that, if we had to compare Blue and Red AT's, the Tanker and MM would be closer partners than the Tanker and Brute, which would pair better with the Scrapper along with the Stalker.

MAGIC!

I'll pose the question again: Why would you herd with a Brute, which is designed to be the Scrapper of CoV?"

Because you're arguing a point on opinion. Brutes IMO, are not just damage...they are the herders of COV. They have the same resist caps as Tanks, they have taunt auras...why aren't they the tanks of COV?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because that is what the Mastermind, i.e. his/her pets, is for.

Which then begs the question, why herd with a Scrapper?

Ooh ooh! Be like the dude in (lol)Wanted and bend your bullets!

Goddamnit Jim, I'm a Brute, not a herder!

If they put power suppression around the statue, how will we get the badge on top of the statue?

Suddenly, CONUNDRUM!

I'd say something about herding, but I never did it or had need to do it. Haven't thought it was any better than just slicing through normal spawns in a long time.

"Sorry, I have 2 /SR at 50, and I haven't noticed this."

Two SR what? Brutes, scrappers? Do you herd with them?

More info please.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would you herd with a Brute? They're supposed to be the Scrappers of CoV, and I don't think many non-seriously IO'd out Scrappers can herd very well.

Wasn't it announced that the MM's pets would be the "Tanker" of CoV?

Also, Brutes kill [censored] (edit: hence all the Brute vs. Scrapper threads), not herd and hold aggro, especially if the above is correct.

Hi guys,

I'm a new player to city of heroes and i like to know if the game is any good? can it keep me going for the next few years. I come from World of Warcraft and it was too much work to keep everything up to date, gear wise.
So tell me the pros and cons from the game and if you could suggest me the game.

Thanks

No, this game sucks. I didn't even know how you could subscribe to it, considering it's been decommissioned for the past 300 years. We're just the inabiting AI's that have been trapped in here with nothing but the porn the captian of the ship downloaded before he died and each other, and the porn's starting to get old.

Now you're trapped in here with us. Fresh meat!













Srsly, welcome newbie.
