The_Salt

I would say my end-term goal is eventually being able to punch out Arch-Villains solo, but I'm not sure if that's feasible.

I'm also kind of thinking that if I go with a build with like what Deth has suggested, it's not going to be something I can gradually work toward, I basically need to save up cash monies until I can do it all at once or be left with slotting that isn't friendly at all towards an SO build.

I looked over your build and I was convinced I had to ignore it because it got rid of Darkest Night. It's not really integral to the character's theme, though.

I see you unslotted some of my defenses more than seemed 'right', but looking at it, it looks like you're right that overall the defenses are much higher this way - and with more HP and more regen, this might be the way I want to go.

Numina, Regenerative Tissue, Miracle, and four Luck of the Gamblers is going to take a long time to fill out, though.

For some reason, Mids is saying my build has 320% recharge. Hrm.

Okay, I think I'll give what you've suggested here a shot. I don't think I'm seeing any places where it suffers.

Obviously I'm not intending to outfit myself on 500k.

HK and Biff, I appreciate the input, and Biff, your build gives a good idea what you're going for. It's similar to mine, but you managed to focus on the things I wanted and trimmed out a lot of the stuff that I overdid/messed up on.

Deth, I'm not sure how to work with the build you've posted and some of the stuff is so far out of my concept of how my build should look that I'm afraid to even approach it. Things like taking slots out of Stamina and putting them into Brawl just makes my brain snag and break down.

It looks like you managed to crank up defense, but at a cost of Endurance, and although you have trouble with Darkest Night (... I guess), I've never had trouble with it. Either I'm fighting something where the ~15% debuff is helpful, or I'm fighting stuff that can't hurt me and I don't need it anyway (and if something ran away and I was worried about it aggroing ... well, I'm not afraid to drop the toggle.)

Okay, I am pretty new to the CoH forums in a sense (haven't been here in years.) I noticed the guides are mostly outdated and most of the links don't work.

I'd like some input on my slotting here, because I really don't know what I'm doing.

I think I would like to fit more Regeneration and EVEN MORE RECHARGE into there, but I'm not sure how to go about doing so.

Also, with the crazy (+40%) accuracy from set bonuses, I can probably afford to do something different with Rage (which I've been relying on as a sort of 'second Acc' since I mostly solo on 5 and just wiff without it up.)

I have three sets in here with Luck of the Gambler, and in each case, I'd swap something out to make room for the +Recharge if/when I had the merits/money to buy one. Also, I'd put one in Hover.

In conclusion, I also have to be mindful of costs as I go through this. I've got something like 500,000 infamy to my name at the moment, so I can't overload this with costly stuff.

You're right.

If ever a man were to play a female character, Bruthaman, they should play the most homely, terrifying female ever.

Definately not one they'd enjoy looking at for the five-hundred hours they have ahead of them.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't really have any objections to in-game genderbending per-se. Heck, I have a couple of female alts myself. Although the proliferation of adult sized, thong wearing heroes with pre-pubescent pigtails is a tad disturbing. I mean what's really going on here... Is it merely adolescent male immaturity manifesting itself. Or something more prurient, like an incipient pedo problem. Who knows? Probably a bit of both. But I don't let my feathers get ruffled if I make a mistake in identifying the gender of the Player.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because it's *totally* not possible that someone thinks that pig tails just look nice.

Or that a real girl would wear pig-tails.

Shrug. What's the deal? Girls [that is, girls my age, me being fifteen] look cute with pig tails. So do adults. So I win.

Just a thought to the OP :

There's not really any role that the normal ATs don't fill.

Your role is just puddy to fill holes as they arise - it's not a major role, no. But that's what the normal ATs are for.

I wouldn't take that too personally, Mind.

I think I'd feel weird, even if it's what the character would do, hitting on a chick that wasn't really a chick behind the wheel. Y'no?

(( The Registration Forms are awesome, just sucks I don't know how to manipulate .pdfs. =P

Some people have the time on their hands to even *read* ten-page bios - I'm not one of 'em. That's why when I write Razor's stuff, it's usually not more than a few paragraphs at a time [exempting his Therapy sessions, which were longer.] And hey, like I said - if you're ever around on Virtue, give Razor a shout, if you feel like typing out his name. He's got the same kind of screwed-over-by-the-gang, family-split and homeless stuff goin' on. Plus, he's running the Xlympics! ... But don't tell anyone, he'll get arrested. ))

(( And I'd like to say that I dig the page you've got up for her, especially the Hero Registration papers. Now, I'm a real hypocrite and usually don't read stuff that's more than a few paragraphs long, but your stuff - both through the medium and the story - was good, and I read it all.

Edit: And as an afterthought, did you make those Hero Reg papers yourself?))

(( I think your Betty should come to Virtue, the unofficial Roleplay server, and hit Razorblade up.

Because you look like you'd have a lot in common with him. ))

Yeah.

Rollplaying and Roleplaying are two different things. Be careful. Rollplay is used more often in reference to tabletop games, like the World of Darkness games or Dungeons & Dragons, and is generally used [distastefully] as an insult towards players who make characters with the biggest numbers and neglect story/character.

I've never played a female character.

Ever.

(( For r4z0rZb14De, ex-Freakshow Katana/Regen Scrapper [also works as a computer hacker part-time.]))

Harris: First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to appear on the program.

r4z0rZb14De: My pleasure, man.

Harris: Could you tell the viewers at home a little bit about how and why you became a hero.

r4z0rZb14De: It's not really family-friendly. I was a member of the Freakshow. Then, they tried to kill me. Now, I'm going to kill them all. Legally.

Harris: What would you say is the greatest reward for being a hero?

r4z0rZb14De: Killi- er, arresting criminals, making the city safe, all that jazz.

Harris: Have you ever found there is any drawback to being a hero?

r4z0rZb14De: Yeah. You can't go and break stuff just for the fun of it.

What is going through your mind when you are in a dangerous situation that could lead to civilian casualties? That must be a scary situation.

r4z0rZb14De: Not really. They get outta the way or they don't. I'm gonna arrest that guy, and if you go down with 'em, it's not my fault.

Harris: How do you feel about people that use their powers for crime like the outcast or the super villains we starting to see around the city?

r4z0rZb14De: I was one of 'em. It's all good until someone needs a mechanical heart.

What do you think is going through these criminals minds when they commit these acts?

r4z0rZb14De: "Hey, man, free money!" Or, in the case of the Freaks, absolutely nothing.

How do you feel about the various anti hero and anti mutant groups that believe heroes course more problems then they solve? Given the amount of work heroes do for the city this must be quite upsetting.

r4z0rZb14De: Sure, they got a point, I guess. Of course, they'll learn to shut the hell up, since the laws on my side.

and finally, have you ever worked along side the Statesman? What is he like?

r4z0rZb14De: No, but he sounds like a real jerk to me. Always ruinin' everyone fun.

I would like to thank you for coming on the show and on behalf of the citizens of Paragon city thank you for keeping the streets safe

Yeah, no problem. It's what I do.

I've never heard of this 'CCCP'.

That's not a connection so much as, what we tend to call, "Making [censored] up."

This is the background for my newest character, r4z0rZb14De

That was it. The last day of Razor's life. The end of it all, the bright white light, everything. All in that one moment, one missed keystroke, one error that brought the whole thing down around him.

It all happened so fast. One moment he was pounding away, so nervous, breaking the code, breaking the Zig, busting out Dreck. But he messed up. Got it wrong. People died. Friends died. The excelsior started pumping.

Next thing he knew, he was on the ground. Lying in the middle of the circus with the m4d b14D3z, his crew, his family. But they weren't with him. He was pinned, held, tied, something, something. He knew it was over for him. Then it happened. The b14De himself reached down and tore Razor's Excelsior feeder, still attached to a beating heart, from the living body. Blood, tainted green, was all over. The Freaks shouted in joy.

Razor didn't shout at all.

((Good? Bad? OMGTEHSUK? Something?))

I like how he thinks there's something to dup[licate] in CoH.

=P
