Sturmovik

Thanks, just looked it up ingame. But it has me thinking a lvl 1 power that can de-toggle your main defenses against hold, stun ect is gamey or lame if you prefer :/

Now i understand why all the fotm builds toward PvP pretty much have energy in their power set.

Could anyone list them and what AT get them too :>

Hit LvL 40 Yesterday, so far its been a fun ride and more to come once I7 goes live.

As far as PvE is related nothing to say but pure fun. To be able to keep a boss knocked on his back for the duration of the fight, footstomp in a tight group of mobs, KO Blow minions, LT's and even bosses to oblivion. Yep great fun You feel the smash with SS/INV. I do feel usefull aswell in a team, Unyielding draw mobs to you and make things easier for everyone, footstomp is most welcome and knocking down everything that dare coming close to you. What can i say? Like i said, i have nothing to complain about as far as my PvE career is heading!

However, sadly i might add, the smashtastic feeling i have fade away as soon as i step in a PvP zone.

I can hit them, i can hurt them but i can't kill them. Of course i've caught people offguard, who did not.. I killed heroes and villains but that was rare and usually they were caught with some toggles down. What make SS great is the pletora of knockdown in your attacks most of them have a chance to knockdown and if you have air sup, it only add more knockdown! Suffice to say, this doesn't work in PvP as everyone and their mom are resistant to it. Whereas other melee set are less resisted, energy for one, dark melee debuff your accuracy, others will debuff your defenses or even stun.

I'm most likely going to pick the patron power that gives the mace, at least i'll be able to deal energy damage. :<

One more thing, whats up with brawl detoggling?!

Sorry you'r right, i said was SS/INV just thought that would fit in the same place.

I just read Unstoppable gives a bonus to end recovery. Any good? Granted this is not what the power is used for as i understand, but would like to know how it is. Anything compared to kinetics buff?

Is it possible to find people to group with on this server or pretty much everyone like to mind their own biz soloing all the time?

I was playing on Vigilance the french server prior to Union and it was easy to find group. I'm playing on Union since a week or two got my brute up to 29 tonight but 3/4 of that play time was soloing

No idea if soloin' is faster but its boring as heck!

Hit LvL 23 with my SS/INV Brute, now with 3 SO EndRedx i am perma raged!

Just amazing, can do Ruthless mission with no trouble at all, something i couldn't do before because of the high miss rates. Not only Rage double my damage it does also increase accuracy!

While SS only deal smash/lethal damage... it sure pack a punch! Smashtastic

I have a ice/kin corruptor, she's only level 11 but i'm looking at the power and i'm wondering if its doable?

I got Syphon Speed at level 10 and its really fun, of course its annoying when it does miss. If i don't take travel power now, i will but after a respec in later levels.

Now we are looking at PvE, Port Oaks isn't that big, is it doable on other maps with only Syphon Speed as your only mean of fast travel?

Thanks for all the advice everyone, is slotting more than 3 recred in hasten overkill?

Hello, having two Mastermind one 34 and the other in his mid 20's. Its time to try out other AT's! Never played CoH before so i have very little knowledge of all the different power set in the game either CoH or CoV.

Masterminds are very new player friendly at least thats how it was for me, not really any problem deciding wich power to pick up or how to slot them. But for other AT's i just can't make my mind up on wich power seems more useful and such..

I'm very interested in trying out a Rad/Rad corruptor I played a bit with a CoV character builder and came up with this.

If any Rad/Rad players feel like commenting and pointing out what i should change and why, then please say so! Thanks in advance.

Mind you by the time you hit 36 it is all begining to pain you, so much summoning and buffing just isn't fun

[/ QUOTE ]

I know i know.. sometimes i wish i'd picked something else like traps or DM (my merc mm is DM and about to hit 26 soon, gotta try that commando!)

Also i don't have stamina... you can imagine the pain when i have to buff my team mates if i'm in a group + my assault bot and the two protectors (i don't bother buffing my drones if i'm in a group).

FF does require more setup, i mean time before you are battle ready but it does make a difference after all. Of course, insulation shield alone won't make a difference but when you stack insulation/deflection shield, dispersion bubble and the protector's force field all slotted with SO, i'm positive my bots don't get hit as often.

I picked up Personal Force Field out of curiosity (CoV is my first game, i haven't played CoH before). And with my recent adventures in Warburg i'm very happy i decied to give it a try lol! I was doing the missile mission when some stalker poked me in the ribs, what ensued was real funny. With PFF on i just stood there while bots kept pounding the poor guy.
I couldn't kill him as my bots were missing alots since PFF negate your AoE buff (oddly enough dispertion bubble still worked?). He was really focusing on me and ignoring my bots, he had to leave after a good minute swinging at thin air and i guess running out of blue. The bots even without tactics/assault and MM's buff were still doing average damage only problem is they were missing too much.

I also noticed that with my merc/dm i ran into more problems against boss even with Darkest Night and with my bots/ff i can keep a boss locked with detention shield, dispatch his goons then just keep him on his back with force bolt. I recently picked up fearsome stare on my merc but i can't rely on it too much for boss fight :/

I love both though. But i must admit my robots are favorite Just a word really for my fellow robots/* don't give up the grind untill you reach lvl 32 at least! Its a real show!

Thats how i felt after LvL 32 on my Robots/FF Mastermind.

I know sometimes playing a Mastermind can be very frustrating, like when one of your minion somehow decide to go brawl that purple con boss and agroing the whole lot next to him. There are a few rough lvl, 20 to 24 was not very fun. Once you get your second Protector Bot things start to roll your way again and you are Two levels from your assault bot! This should keep you motivated. Then the long road to level 32!

No words can really explain the sheer AoE power of your little robotic army. If sometimes you feel bored and about to give up on your MM for another AT, just don't! You won't regret it once you hit level 32! And thats reguardless of your secondary power set.

Missiles flying over your head, full auto lasers and proton grenades is just too cool to watch.

Sympa ce site merci

Coucou je cherche du monde pour tenter notre chance avec le trial respec 24-30, des interressés? Probablement ce week-end.

I think people need to realise while MM's are very easy to LvL 1-15'ish Their DPS start to be real low after that at least for the 2 MM's i played so far to lvl 26 (Merc/Dark & Bot/FF).

Sure i can solo missions on a very hard setup, however i cannot solo Super Heroes, i still haven't done the mission in SharkHead isle where you have to kill the Sea Witch. On a side note, i couldn't solo the lvl 20 mission for your super villains cloak. And i believe its good that way, grouping with other players is very fun.


MM's need a nerf? Definitly not, i've teamed up with brutes and my jaws droped at how fast they were killing stuff, bosses inclued. Granted they have to build Fury first but once thats done, they smash everything in their way

I know Brutes of my lvl who can solo the same missions as me on the same difficulty setup and faster at that..


That said, i always played Pet class in mmorpg. To date, my favorite pet class was the Warlock in WoW but since i tryed the Master Mind here in CoV i'm having a blast You have to do a lot of micro-managing if you want to be successful. With all the different secondary power sets this gives you a lot of options to have fun.

I made the mistake of picking Burst wich i really wish i did not, as i don't use it ever now. I just stand next to my soldiers, using Darkest Night, Tar Patch & Twilight Grasp. I don't plan on using M30 Grenade or Slug either.

Now i made it to lvl20 but i'm not sure wich power to pick? For you Dark users how do you like Fearsome Stare? How does Fear works actully, i'm not sure if i've seen it in action yet or if i did, i didn't know it was fear.

I'm interested in the Leadership pool aswell, i believe Assault and Tactics will be most welcome for my minions as they are lower lvl than me.

I don't have any endurance problem yet as i have just one toggle, Shadow fall and so far using Twilight Grasp/Darkest Night isn't heavy on the endurance. But if i do pick Assault then later Tactics i might need an endurance boost.

Bonjour je suis Nano Tech et je jou à CoV depuis Samedi Le jeu est trés fun et le server sympatique. Ce qui change beaucoup de Star Wars Galaxies.

Au plaisir de vous rencontrez!
