Tormentoso

Another vote for fire/fire tank. If anything, for 4 PBAoEs (In practice, Fireball is a PBAoE).

The problem I have with Spiritual is that I already go for gobs of recharge on most builds. Although the +Rech/+Heal does add up for Dull Pain, shaving a second or less in most attacks does not seem as such a big boost.

I'm sure mathematically speakingm someone can come up with how much DPS is boosted and make it look impressive, but from a perception standpoint, it doesn't feel like much once you're already packing Hasten and 60-80% ish recharge bonuses.

Love how they have link to the exact copy in the NYtimes.

Heh.

Don't know enough about comics to know the relevance of any other number for titles.

I want to make Freedom go BOOM! I wonder how many instances of CoH my machine can handle and how many trial accounts I can make. . .

On the other hand, pretty level 50 stuff that I used to sell at 45 mill are going for 4 or 5 millions. . .

For my elemental I went with Ice Armor/Stone Melee with Fire APP and fly/whirlwhind for kicks. Not 50 yet, but Ions would fill the gaps.

Now, Ice covered body might not cut it, so Fire armor would be a good start. I guess the question is: which APP is more visually impressive, stone or ice?

Everything shards can do, threads can do better.

As said, the only reason I see for the inclusion of threads was to slow down people who had pilestocked tons of shards.

If I were the devs, once the shard supply has been mostly used up and/or threads have been gained, and/or iTrials have been run down to death, I'd be working towards phasing out shards. Alpha slots can be made with threads, so:

• Make threads drop instead of shards (at a x5 rate)
• Allow one shard to five thread conversion
• Let the common Alpha component be broken down to 20 threads
• Allow Notice of the Well to be converted into Rare components
• Same with the Very Rare
• Modify the Level 50 TF rewards from Alpha components to thread based components

I liked how TFs allows to speed up making the Alpha slot without forcing us to do specific ones. I also like the W.T.F. system. It will be a shame these lose the shiny aspect of them so quickly.

Look forward to it.

My Kat/SR is defense capper (45%) and he's been fine. Not 100% worry free as before, but what's the fun in always being untouchable?

Just carry some purples and pop them for when you know the going will get tough. This normally means the dash to get acids and granades.

For actual fights, remember that defense buffs are very common. Dark Miasma, Storm, Force Field, etc etc will put you back in a comfortable plase.

I don't mind 3 second long attacks, a lot of sets have them and it works fine. I do mind having two of them (2.67, 3.30 respectively), and them being among the best DPA and DPS wise in the set.

For what its worth, I'm only picking one of them and build for recharge. My tank is going to pretend there is no Total Focus.

On the blaster---dominator---controller scale, Ice/Ice leans more towards the blaster side of things. It is by no means weak, its just too jack of all trades to shine in one particular area.

P.S. With some decent recharge you can (almost) chain your AoEs. Its fun to see a lot of numbers crop up all over the place so frequently.

One thing I did with my Inv/Mace was slot for type defense, which PBAoE sets have plenty of. Don't recall offhand, but there are 2 PBAoE sets which offer Eng/Neg with 3 pieces, so I slotted 3 of each for nice Acc/Dam/Rech values and sexy def bonuses to go in tandem with the Kinetic Combats in the Single Target attachs.

War Mace goes into awesome mode with its 35 and 38 powers. You'll be fine.

I got a Very Rare and it annoyed me to no end. I'm not hardcore enough to get two rares to get to T4, and the breakdown (only 40 threads, really...?) is so meager I don't have the heart to break it.

Given she still has the shiny one and her superhero is a public persona, maybe one of the costumes is a public one (interviews, etc) whereas another would be the actual vigilante one, and so on.

Force Fielder here. In BAF bubble the team and those that are in the way of heavy damage. There's normally so many AoE +Def that most everyone is safe. Lamdba is trickier as potentially everyone can end up in real danger, so I try to bubble up during the big bot fight and hope for the best.

My empath kept Fort and Adrenaline on the tanks that had it rough, otherwise I kept both on whoever seemed to be the best DPSers.

Fire/Energy tanker both golden yellow. He harnesses the power of the sun.

Time traveler. Not punctual, historic, nor cosmopolitan. But I do have regretful, distracted and chaotic in a big way. So it evens out.

For what its worth, I'm also in the same boat as Sam for a few alts. My Mind/Energy (red blasts) dominator and Empathy/Rad (light blue) can be made to work with recolored Pyronic if I ignore the damage type (easily, since that's only on the combat nav).

But my Kat/SR scrapper has nothing that works for him. I already stretched concept with Energy Torrent as ki blast, but not even Pyronic satisfy that concept (at least for him), and even recolored Void is too darkity dark.

I think the one worse off is my Elec/elec blaster. The Incarnate will fit him nicely, but the epics can't be recolored, so he's trapped in his 40s.

That being said, I'm not bitter about anything. I just make work what I can and ignore the rest.

Througout all my alts, I've gotten like 4 rares. Broke them all down. I dont plan to iTrial all that much, and being +1 seems to work well enough, so once all 4 slots are unlocked and filled with t1, I'll consider myself done and move on to the next alt.

I'm not hardcore enough to care about t3... so I guess I'll never be part of this club.

I dont mind the shards as much as I mind the new components. There's a lot of them and a real mess to keep track of. The devs really went all out with complicated and pointless names.
