Spike Night

Local Man - I looked at your proposed build - why are there 5 empty slots in Ice Blast?
Thanks.

edit: looks like theres a bug in MIDs? Ice blast is classified as ranged aoe?

Thanks all for the information and advice.

If you put a proc such as "Touch of Lady Grey: Change for Negative Energy Damage" into RI, will it result in an AOE effect or just to the anchor?

I'd like to bring my tanker, Bezor. If that doesn't work, I can bring a fire/rad.

Slight hijack of the thread - but I'm looking into dual boxing and would like some advice on best methods for CoH - everything i have read from my searches says to have a main character and a backup that just buffs/heals on auto? Sounds like you did something a bit more involved? Maybe PM me rather than take over the thread?

Thx.

I'd like to join a group that runs regularly (@spykei). I'd be up for auto sign-up if there is room.

Thanks for the quick replies. I am sorry if these have been asked (and answered) many times before - I have been reading through the forums a lot going back many pages worth.

A final question - is there a game mechanic that differentiates tanker survivability vs scrapper? (I haven't played in a while but I remember something like scrappers being maxes at 75% vs 95% for tankers?) While I have this memory, I can't find anything on it. If there is a thread on the various caps that I have missed, I apologize.

How do the "types" play with each other? If you are capped for melee/ranged/aoe, do you not need s/l/fire/cold/toxic/psi/etc...?

Thanks again.

Looking for a little advice. I have been reading around the forums and working with MIDs to try out all sorts of different ATs. I like scrappers for their solo-friendly playstyle, and the focus always seems to be to cap s/l def.

I look at the builds for tanks and see that aoe/ranged/melee is capped but s/l is not (in the ones I looked at - shield def/ele).

Can someone explain how the different attributes work and why scrappers would cap s/l but tanks would not?

Thanks.

Hi all,
I was browsing around the forums, trying to learn some more about this fun game when I ran across this thread. As luck would have it, I have been playing on Freedom so I started myself a Fire/Rad controller. So far I have only taken a scrapper to 50, but I keep coming back to controllers (I like my ill/rad, ill/kin, fire/kin though none of them have made it above lvl 27 yet). I love starting over a lot!

If I can make the cut, it would be fun to have a regular Monday night run and meet some folks in the game who could teach me a thing or two no doubt (mostly my time in the game has been spent either running random missions with pugs, soloing, or messing around with WW).

Not sure how high I can get by next Monday, or what I should target? I figure I'll just get as high as I can and see if there's a spot for me.
