    It's a pretty small debuff, it won't really help you all that much in that regard.

    just a thought
    To solo an AV, you need either strong single target DPS, or -regen. Elec Melee has neither, unless you get outside help, temp powers, tier 3 inspirations, or Lore pets.

    While I personally wouldn't mind this being held on test, there is another issue to consider. Isn't it trivially easy to get access to top end IOs there that you otherwise wouldn't necessarily have on your live character?

    *sighs* Good to know before I leveled it up more. Guess I'll reroll him energy/energy then.

    Thanks, Miladys.
  7. Another fun Kheldian Friday! We took a trip to a haunted house....



    We met many interesting, er, people there. Afterwards, we ran a couple AE missions to put our kheldians through their paces. Good times.



    And then...there was a small catfight.


    I'll see you guys next week!

  9. I made a Beam/Energy the other week, and I plan on turning him into a sniper (for concept/fun purposes). However, I just had a thought--does boost range cause redraw? Because that would aggravate me.

    I can live with redraw whenever I feel like blapping, but a forced redraw every 20 seconds is a deal breaker.

    Wait...
  11. I've been making an AE arc that reallllly needs StJ. So far, I've been forced to use Martial Arts, and it's just not the same.

First at the game, and then at everyone who told you off. So, have fun with that.
    Indeed, this seems to be the case. For what it's worth, if it was my friend I was trying to get hooked onto CoH, and price was an issue, I would fork up the five bucks myself.

    I hope Black_Light's friend learns to enjoy CoX.
  13. I seem to have neglected mentioning it in the initial post (which I will correct shortly), but I want to warn anyone planning on which events to attend and ignore one thing:

    These rewards are placeholders. In most cases*, they will be raised. So if you're looking at the Medic event and are thinking "Meh, too much work for too little reward," you are writing it out too early. I was also intentionally vague on the Scavenger hunt rewards, but I guarantee that I will try to make the rewards worthy of the time you would have to spend to win.

    Granted, my hope is that rewards isn't what people are attending these events for, but I acknowledge that incentive has it's uses.


    *Only the events that are hosted by myself or Layla are the ones likely to get raised. Any others are most likely set in stone, unless the reward hasn't been posted yet.

    Screencaps preferred to show fastest times for each TF / SF run. Fastest overall time wins.

    I'm still trying to decide what the prize(s) will be.
    Can I slot that in at noon on Sat, or was there a specific time you wanted to start?

    Actually, that's a very good question. I'm hesitant to allow Rise of the Phoenix to be a loophole, because that opens the doors for people who bring empaths/etc to argue that their rez shouldn't count as that player being defeated, too.

    I'm going to have to say it still counts as a defeat, because if I allowed it, anyone with a high recharge build could die as often as they liked. And if I only allowed one "save" of that nature, I would have to keep track of how many times a person has died. Not to mention, defenders get a self rez too.

    I'd welcome any arguements on how it could work, though.

    Also, I did have an idea in mind for an event, but there is nowhere to really fit it in without competing with anyone and matching my personal schedule, so I would be available most of Saturday to help out with anything that needs it. I'll save the other idea for a later date.
    I didn't forget, I just don't see the need to have multiple calendars/schedules to edit until we get closer to the date, since I anticipate some late entries.

    Speaking of which, Stale, that was kind of what we were going for. We want lots of different things going on. Though, if need be we can shift some stuff around if you're worried about attendance.

    Edit: As a matter of fact, I see an event that needs removing, as me and Layla apparently accidently ran it this last weekend. So, I am removing the fire themed Sister Psyche that takes place at 1pm.

    You know, the scary thing is that this was what I was planning before I even read this. Stay out of my mind, Layla!

    Bombs on MSR

    You destroy the grates along the sides of the ship surface, and click the glowie bomb inside. This will extend the raid by (IIRC) 3 minutes. On a well lead raid, it is possible to set all of the bombs on the ship.
  20. Common Questions:


    1. General building advice
    2. High End Builds
    3. Advanced Mids' Options
    4. Mids' Video Tutorial by Hyperstrike
    5. Glossary of Useful Terms
    6. Common Questions (You are here)


    Q. Your guide isn’t helpful at all. I can’t understand any of this. You suck.
    A. Ok, but what was your question?

    Q. Oh. Well, how am I supposed to understand this? What does [X] mean?
    A. By it’s nature, reading a guide like this assumes you have a working knowledge of the program. Unfortunately, much of the data, then, is hard to fit to a real life situation for those unused to the program. I would recommend playing with Mids’ until you get used to some of it’s functions, and try a couple practice builds yourself before re-reading my guide.

    Q. What is X?
    A. X is a variable.

    Q. Will you make this build for me? I don't know how to make it or what goals to shoot for.
    A. Nope, I won't make it for you. If you can't figure out what your goal should be after looking at the powers, however, I will try to help point you in the direction I would take.

    Q. Just this once? C'mon, make my build for me!
    A. Head down to the Archetype forums of whatever AT you need a build for, and see if they will help you out. Or the new Build Workshop section.

    Q. What if I can’t afford a crazy awesome build?
    A. You mean besides waiting until you can afford one? Make a cheap build by frankenslotting. You’ll still have really nice enhancement values (far better than you can ever get with SO’s), it just won’t have some of the insane bells and whistles that the more expensive builds have.

    Q. How can I get money to afford a crazy awesome build?
    A. Go to the Market forum if you want help on getting rich.

    Q. I still don’t get any of this, what can I do to learn?
    A. Have you watched Hyperstrikes video tutorial?

    Q. Yes.
    A. That wasn’t a question.

    Q. You’re a (censored).
    A. Sometimes. That wasn’t a question either, though.

    Q. …Yes?
    A. Well then, if you’ve watched Hyperstrikes video, have tinkered around with Mids’ on your own, and even re-read my guide several times without luck—you’re in luck! On Saturday’s and Sunday’s I am free to provide online help via Skype with any Mids’ questions you have, and give help on a build you are trying to make. (Note that I will not make your build for you.) If this sounds interesting to you, send me a PM, and I’ll let you know how to contact me.

    Q. This seems like rather important information, why didn’t you put it at the top of list?
    A. Because I’m lazy and hoping you don't read this far. I like Saturdays and Sundays to myself.

    Q. Do you charge for this service?
    A. Nope. I do it out of good will for the community. I only ask that you are patient with me, and serious about wanting to learn.

    Q. I work on the weekends, can you help me on [X]day?
    A. I feel your pain. I also used to have to work the weekends. Unfortunately, I host (and take part in) many events throughout the week, so chances are I won't be available. You're free to ask, though, and maybe we could work something out.

    To add my own bit of advice, have you tried hoverblasting? (Assuming you have Nova form, that is.) These EB's seem to have like one ranged attack a piece, and are generally helpless against ranged targets.
