Sullster

[ QUOTE ]
Perma 20% extra damage vs tough targets is waste of space?

[/ QUOTE ]

On most high level teams its not so useful but solo I do use it a lot.

[ QUOTE ]
Powerboost won't affect FFG will it? Pretty sure it won't affect Set bonuses either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Dont know if it affects ffg or the sets. To be honest all I actually use it for at the moment is to guarantee a hit with tp foe as even with a level 50 acc in is misses more than I'd like.

I know Acid mortar is useful solo but in teams its a waste of space and yes I'm 6 slotting FFG for the ranged def bonuses.

The build above is currently half implemented into Sullster got a couple of sets and procs already. I would slot pgt more if the devs didnt nerf it!. As for power boost I got it to supplement my defense for alpha striking or toebombing if my stealth is seen through as it increases my defense, although looking at soul drain on mids I realised that that might be a viable option as well.

And I can't believe how you slotted Dark Embrace.

Explain?

One of the teams I was in today had a long discussion about this and the fast rate at which one can hit 50 is astounding.

Many of the newer members of the team even admitted not being anywhere after Cap Au Diable and they were in there 40's!! One even said he only found out about the Black Market 5 mins before the mission started!

My first 50 took 8ish months to get due to my altitus.

I always wanted an AR/traps as my main but it was always too painful to level up. I had heard about MA farms and decided to investigate (I even Ran a few MA Farms myself)


I managed to hit 50 today and I onlys started 4 days ago. Which for me is ludicrously fast. However I know some people that have done around 6 missions and hit 50.

It's mostly the newer players I'm worried about as they can start and have a 50 in days and yet know nothing about the game dynamics or everything else that COX has to offer.

For more experienced players and people with Altitus like me MA farms are handy to get through the painful stages of levelling and try out new AT's/powersets when rolled. In the end the hardcore farmers can always go back to the Television farms etc. But the newer people they have already been tainted by the MA System

One of the best storyarcs I have seen so far on MA. You are spot on with the simlarities I LOL many times in RL

After being remade more times than I've eaten hot dinners Sullster has finally hit the BIG 50 on 30th April @ 2247 BST Wooo!!!

Happy Birthday COH!

I can't get past the login screen so I guess server is down for usual downtime and to add the loads of goodies for today?

Fingers crossed for cake!

Just an update, Sullster has now hit 42 and this is my planned build for PVE, my pvp build has fighting instead of Leadership etc etc.

Like before this is slotted with defense bonuses in mind which is why some powers people wouldn't usually 6 slot are done so and others like caltrops,acid and poison have less slots in.

Lucky for me I have already got a Numinas regen/recovery drop from Ma which is nice.

Currently have 42.9% Ranged Defense, (52.8% with powerboost) which is more than enough defense for most mobs. For those high Acc mobs I'll have some oranges handy.

I agree with the red/blue options would help me look cooler with my elec/pain

I found it quite useful solo for the extra damage plus you can slot some nice pet sets in it. But the 1 minute duration is a bit irritating. But at least its perma.

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this but I never found anyone who had bothered to write a bio so as to compare.

I've just logged back on now after the 2 hour downtime and my cape disappears too any word on when they gonna fix this?

My bad then, guess I didn't notice it when reading.

Overdimensioned?

I'm guessing you said that as I'm sure somewhere I read some people couldn't click the button due to then screen resolution making the bottom of the box offscreen :P

what was?

The /hc change or the chat bug?

I can't check now as servers are down to fix i14 :P

I was coming on here to report the same problem, nice of them to tell us of the change.

On a different note is anyone else getting extra characters added to the chat once you clicked enter?

/signed

Would help me greatly when trying to mass buy for making ios as for me there is always one item that you have to raise the initial bid price for.

This is what aim to have when my Ar/traps finally makes 50 (only 27 atm) the slotting levels are off its just the way I did it. Build is loosely based on RO's Bulletproof trapper guide but my build also concentrates on my attack powers

I have been changing around my build for a while and I think im happy with this

Any criticism is welcome

After it checked all and then downloaded a 50mb file it tried to apply got a checksum error. When i have started it now it says fixing heroes.exe which maxed out at 8.8mb with full bar and 0.00 on the timer. However it is now onto fixing .Pigg files. Have been sat here since midnight wanting to play anyone had same problems and know how long it will roughly take?

Edit: It just checked a 1.7gb image? now back onto DL file manifest and proceded to fix more .pigg files

2nd Edit: So i finally get on at 1.46 GMT to be greeted with they shutting servers down for client based issues and then my game crashed dont suppose thats why? First time COX has crashed in the whole time ive played it!... Rant Over

I was hoping for another reply of you Xemulas you Ar/Traps build helped me a lot.

If you dont mind having a go at mids, I can compare it to the one I have made. (I know I can change powers on there easily but so I dont need to alter the build much, my character doesnt take irradiate but both neutrino and x-ray instead)

Group Name:

The Shadow BrotherHood

Description:

An Old Sg that was once popular at the beginning of 2007, since then was primarily used as a personal base. Recently its membership has been gradually increasing again with regular players. The Brotherhood has recently signed a number of coalitions and is starting to organise sg/coalitions events on a weekly basis.

The base has a fully equipped workshop and storage area. Teleporters to the first 4 islands (As after 25 you can use ouroboros to get to higher levelled areas) There is also a supply of enhancements and inspirations available to members that need them.

Webpage: Currently under construction.

In game contacts:
@Sullster, @Thug Maker

Favoured Activities
Roleplaying, SG/Coalition Teams and Strike Forces


Admission Requirements

Anyone is welcome to join there is however a 2 week probational period after which you will then gain access whatever stored enhancements and inspirations in the base.

Thought I might as well add to this Post than create another one.

I also have a rad/rad that I am looking to kit out, Has anyone got any examples of there builds or what they would suggest. I have had a go myself and have slotted "Touch of Lady Grey :Chance for negative" in most primary attacks.

I would appreciate any help if anyone has any very effective builds.
