Stratos

I have returned from a long break and have little experience with the IO/Set Bonuses system that I believe were implemented in I9

Goal: To rely on only set bonus accuracy. Is this do-able or is this not realistic?
If no, disregard the below

Assume influence/infamy is a non-issue. I realize some sets/recipes are mega-expensive

Assume there is no Tactics or outside help to improve my ToHit

Assume there is no reduction to my foes defense/defense debuff

If I wanted to completely eliminate the need to slot specifically for accuracy in most/all powers (except of course when I want to get set bonuses and slotting some accuracy is unavoidable) what's the magic number of % of accuracy I would want to aim for via set bonuses to be at (or pretty much at) the "hit cap" when facing AV's that are level 53. Or level 54, atm I can't remember if there are 54 AV's.

Hope I explained that very clearly, and thanks for your help in advance!

TL;DR/Goal: To have Hasten and Accelerated Metabolism on auto-cast, with no concern about manually casting either one.

I have virtually-perma-hasten on my rad controller. The catch is, while I have Hasten on auto-cast, I have to *remember* to refresh AM manually, or vice-versa.

Are you able to auto-cast macros? Or is there a work-around to let you have two (2) powers on auto-cast at the same time?

I am dreading I know the answer to this already, but one can hope

Thanks in advance

Had a question but I answered it, nvm!

Got my answer. Delete Please

I'm most likely going Storm. I predict lots of Dark or Pain will top the list, then Storm or Traps, and so on

So THAT's what it is!

I have been duo'ing with a Stalker and I was getting seen all the damn time!

I was using Stealth + Super Speed...

Sigh... that blows

Since I really didn't care for Stalker playstyle, but wanted to team with my Stalker friend and still melee, I figured it'd be a decent choice. I am taking the stealth and speed pool for my main spec so I can stealth missions with my friend. It's not necessarily too late to reroll if anyone can give me a better suggesions for a good Brute build to paired with a Stalker. I like the idea of a self-heal + decent AOE capability.

I like threads like this. Being dormant in the game for a long time, when I come back it's handy to see posts like this, ideally updated ones reflecting new sets or changes.

I'd like to see even more of the "more synergetic" Brute combos

Is there a guide for this build by chance? Having a hard time finding a good one.

This is my first Brute and I am focusing more on damage and less on tanking. I have a leveling pact with a Stalker and am looking to mainly PVE but dip into a little PVP here and there.

Any advice or comments on the spec in general? Thanks

No doubt you got inspired to write this because of the the "Is Hasten Necessary?" and "Is Stamina Necessary?" etc threads...

I hope you were just bored at work or something when you wrote this...

I admire the attempt to gain some consistancy, but sadly it will never happen.

I think I have extrapolated the answer from various posts/threads but want to confirm:

Simple question: Is there anything on the CoH Collector's edition (Prestige Power Slide as a great example) that will NOT be on this GVE edition? Again please don't flame if this was answered, just confirming.

Gosh people get with it! WORK AT HOME! Start a home business! That way you make your own schedule and can do what you want. I work from home observing phone calls for quality and training purposes. I also fiddle around with ebay making a little $ here and there. Point is though, I am my own boss, hence I can do what I want
