    It´s not like i´m doing anything that multiple archetypes can´t do and some even better.

    Should have my main account up and running today so gonna get the rest this weekend.

    Also defenders are not a gimp AT.

    For your concept i would go with traps. Not because i´m partial to traps, well ok i am but the whole skyraider theme of high tech gear.

    I think my Brutes build look like something like this on live, i lost the build and recreated from memory so there might be a few errors. I also started out making it without mids, slotting stuff as i went. Thanks to i14 and the rain of tickets most of this was very cheap.

    The purples came later because after playing it for awhile i wanted some extra oomph. My Siphon life had some issues to endurance slotting(ran like 3 touch of nictus and 3 crushing impacts). I wanted some extra recovery so i reslotted it to something like that. It was purely based on how i play and my needs. I had 3 devastations instead of the apocalypse in Gloom. I wanted better slotting in that power as well and picked up some extra hp for the loss in Siphon Life.
    I also had a Perfect Zinger Acc/Rech instead of the Eradication Dmg/Rech which was an oversight.
    I enjoy these kind of things and am currently considering blind building another toon just to see how many things i could tweak.
    I also pondered getting the pvp unique but when i had around 900 million laying around it had already climbed beyond my grasp. And i dont really need it as it performs really well already.

    My build goal was a sturdy toon that can handle most things. Which it can.


    Are purples needed? No my traps defender soloś avs has currently 1 purple(ragna acc/rech) and i i want 14 more so i can do it even better. Perhaps take on a GM or two.
    My trapper is built for teaming at base though.

    Heres another build ehich was more a test than anything my ice/kin corr:

    I just did it for the heck of it too see if it was playable, which is it is(at least for me) Only thing im missing is 2-3 kinetic combats in boxing and i i enjoy playing it.


    I think min/maxing is fun which is why i do it. I do have toons with nothing but SOś and Frankenslotted with cheap sets and i like them just fine.

    I hope my ramblings makes sense.

Of all my completed builds and the ones I have planned only two ever use Purples in them..my Earth/Rad controller, because I want him to have Perma Hasten (which translates to Perma AM, Perma Earth Embrace, Perma Lingering Radiation, and super quick Holds and Heals). And my Arch/MM because I want him to be my blueside farmer and after capping his S/L defence I want as much recharge as possible. I don't use purples unless it's the only thing that gets me the recharge% I need. For me, they're most often not worth the price to get them. Only in a few cases like the mentioned above. But then again, that's just me.

    And Another_Fan, while I appreciate your advice, if I go in the middle of a mob of say..Nemesis and/or Freaks their Flamethrowers/Energy Attacks will have me dead before my RoA kills them even if I have capped S/L defence. That's why I was asking about mobs that use S/L exclusively =/



    EDIT: Err, that's me, Wanted_NA. Finally got a second CoH account which I can use on the boards with my proper handle. My Original account was gotten from a friend who quit the game and the board handle on the account is his.
    You are skimping on endurance too much in my opinion in order to achieve your defense. Also assault on kin is pointless.

    Single target melee attacks from bs has 3 negative energy available since BS attacks debuff defense.

    As long as you choose AV and not EB amount of people shouldn't matter. I recommend starting with Numina or Countess Crey as they're easiest for widows.
    +1 if you go via Oro since the -1 bug have hit oro as well(at least your settings matter in oro).
    Is it the same for AE? Only buy insps there nowadays.

    My biggest problem with playing empathy and forcefields is no debuffs. They are both cool sets and like having them around but i just cant play a defender/corr unless it has debuffs or massive damage buffs.

    **********Warning below is written by someone who is mentally scarred by car crash pugs and car crash tf´s************

    With that said i have a hard time playing thermal. Deleted a plant/thermal at 40 and a thermal corr at 25. People think they are invincible wiith resistance shields and run around like idiots .
    I have tried again with a Earth/thermal but after a pug in the hollows i decided that i couldnt deal with it again.

    I am now trying it on an MM, so far so good. Bots are good teram members. They just blast meatbags until they drop without stopping and yelling HEALZ PLZ YUR SHILEDS SUCK and say you are bad at healoring and kick you when you respond that i cant heal you idiots when i have no endurance.


    Ok i feel better now.

    They changed untouchable so tommygun is no problem

    My DB/Regen has

    Power Slice
    -Better dpa than nimble and i use it as a attack chain filler

    Ablating Slice
    -Used for sweep, mostly solo since regular teams move to fast for me to use it for it. And i use it for aoe proc spam and in my attack sequence.

    Assasins Blades
    -Used mostly when solo and against hard targets. Against tough targets i open up with BU, AS, Placate, Ablating. And when placate recharges i go Placate,BU,AS,Ablating for the extra damage in sweep.

    Sweeping Strike
    -I like the animation and its a good quick attack with good dpa.

    One Thousand Cuts
    -10 feet cone of awesome, usually what i open with on teams. Between crits and procs i do really good damage

Parry is also a good power which works well with Ninjutsu, and couldn't hurt Willpower either.
    Not a problem with DB. Only thing my DB/regen had problems with was Romans and Ballistas

    Martial Arts/what?

Energy Drain is just an extra recovery power, which is useless because of Conserve Power already being there, that also happens to have a heal component that is so weak it might not even be there at all. Repel sends enemies sailing right out of your attack range, where you can't hit them anymore and they can open fire on you in maybe 3 seconds while you're still chasing down the other 3 enemies you bounced all over the room.

    But fine. I'll edit the sentence to say, "Energy Aura just isn't a good powerset for Stalkers."
    Repel while very pretty to look at, is very skippable. Surround yourself with some mobs to make Edrain good. Also it is a good endurance tool for long fights.

    Energy Aura is fine. In fact the only stalker i have seen do the RWZ challenge was a MA/EA.
