    Thing is, I have a 9800 GT laying around I just can't use it because of the power req. I only have 2 Gigs of RAM, figured I should do something about that as well. My main problem I think is my processor. 1.6 Ghz =/ And how do I find out if it's agp or pci?
  2. Swansu
    I've had the same computer for all of my 7 years of CoH. Only thing I've changed was adding a GeForce 7600 Video Card. A friend sent me a 9800 GT and I forgot about it since my computer could only put out 300W. Digging around in the closet & finding it made me realize it's time to get with the program and stop running everything on minimum. I know that my system is probably to old to upgrade certain parts & be ok, so I'm okay with buying a whole new rig & possible upgrading it if that'd be cheaper.

    I don't know a whole lot about computers, so I need help with a lot of choices, like a starting point, where to look. Think of me as the new 6th grader that needs his hand held every step of the way, lol.

    My budget is anywhere around 500, I can go a little higher, but that's just something in the ballpark I'd like to stay in. I don't need a top end computer that can run everything maxed out with 60 FPS, just something nice. Figured with the video card & 2 sticks of 1GB RAM, that'd at least knock a small chunk off the price. So CoH community, any help at all?

    Wow, that was quick & extremely helpful lmao. My only thing is, I was also gonna use Power Sink as a Control power as well but if that's not really needed then disregard. This is my first time trying Elec

    I can't really figure out how to Softcap it to S/L. Closest I can get is 38% Any other things that pop out in the build feel free to point out.

    I loved my Sonic/Cold, Debuffs were insane. Then I tried Fire/Cold & never looked back
  7. Swansu
    Yea that's what I meant. It breaks the -aggro portion of Placate, but you can still crit as long as you don't take damage?
  8. Swansu
    Question about general Stalker DPS & the new Incarnate stuff. Does Reactive's DoT still interrupt Placate? If so, what Interface would you suggest?
  9. Swansu
    Fireball fixes any qualms I've had on my MA Stalker. If they "fix" it though, I shall be depressed
  10. Swansu
    Don't you touch my Fireball..I just got it =/
  11. Swansu
    Getting smacked around by Siege's AoE during BAF Trials made me want to Softcap AoE Defense as well, I took a big hit to recharge to get .3 away from 45% but, I'd go Ageless with this build so my DDR would be ok, and recharge would be accounted for somewhat. Any sticking points in the build?

    And any suggestions on Incarnate Abilities is appreciated as well. I can't choose between Ageless/Rebirth or Barrier
  13. Swansu
    I actually just got my MA/Ninj to 50 and liking it so far, just on SOs and the build is really end heavy but I guess that's expected. Can I get some look overs before I IO it out?

    What kind of recharge do you need to run the SK>CAK>SK>CS chain? If thats the top one for MA

    I've been trying to come up with a build for MA/Elec, the combo seems nice

    POST-ACTION

    I'll be Incarnating him, yea. Haven't given much thought to what Trees i'll be choosing besides Musc. PvP IOs are pretty much outta the budget lol. Accolades are a maybe. I haven't heard about Astral/Emp's being turned into IOs, nice.

    I think I like yours better =P

    KM/Ninj

    POST-ACTION

    I wasn't getting any kind of responses on the Stalker Forums, so I come to the Number Guru's for assistance. Guess they don't like PvE Folks =P

    Pretty much everything about the build is open to change. Except I don't want to go to expensive. I figured since CS recharges build up from Hide now, BU>CS>Placate>BU>Burst should be preeetty nice now. Help? I know it could use improvements.

    Yea I ended up getting talked into going KM/Ninj haha

    Anybody?

    First, I would post a build but, I don't even know what I should build for on a Stalker? lol. I know Softcap first but then what? Recharge? Damage? +HP?

    And having zero AoE kind of worries me, but I figured the APP/PPP attack would suffice? Can't decide between Weapons for Physical Perfection & Shuriken (everyone loves a ninja star) or Fireball.

    No clue why, it used to do this until I updated all my drivers, which fixed it for a while. Now it's doing it again, don't think it has anything to do with the recent patch because it started again a day or 2 before the patch even came out. I'll load the Launcher up and hit play now, after that, the game goes unresponsive. I can't type in my password, nothing. I've tried repairing, checking for updates, verifying with the old launcher & nothing has fixed it. Help?

    At least you can login, after I hit play now, the client doesn't even respond anymore.

    I just PLed up a Fire/Cold just for this. Unlocked the T3 Reactive last night and it is...a sight to behold. All I could say was holy **** on Vent when I first used it.
