Quote:It's been a while since it came up, but the Ironman petless challenge was to get to 50 without taking pets from your primary or teaming. If Dark Fluffy is a pet then half the powers in /Storm Summoning or /Traps are as well.
Would someone be able to post all the rules for a petless Mastermind please? I know you are to solo. but?
1) What about teaming with other petless MM's (we have seven in our group running petless),
2) What about the dark pet since it is a unwilling pet and isn't permanent (we have a necro/dark on the team who would like to know this answer) also in this catagory what aboout the epic pets like summon Mu etc.
3) Temp powers? we are only using if they dropped on us and only buying salvage if needed, not allowed to buying them.
Beyond that, temp powers, inspirations, what have you else should all be fair game. So says me. -
Quote:Short answer: Yes.
Is skipping henchman tier pets viable?
Long answer: Yyyyeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss.
/Storm is likely one of the better secondaries for this sort of thing, too.
Don't remind me; I'm trying to be strong. The temptation is definitely there, however.Quote:Now that Dual Pistols is available for other ATs, the Hellfire Whip is NOT. -
I don't know about most powerful, but Robotics/Storm may just be the most fun you can have, at least in principle. You have an army of killer robots and a weather control machine. Go nuts.
-
My fire/storm Controller is a reliable generator of chaos. Thugs/storm or bots/storm would also be good choices.
-
I'll just mention the gotta-catch-'em-all Mastermind again. At level one you get the ability to capture a minion of any enemy type. It lasts until you zone. Instead of an upgrade you get the ability to keep one permanantly, up to a maximum of the usual 3 minions, 3 lt's, and 1 boss at the appropriate level.
And you get invisibility/confuse/hold, say, instead of personal attacks. -
Just about anything Storm, really. I'm up to one Defender, two Controllers, and two Masterminds. I love to bring the lightning and the thunder.
A Robotics/Storm Mastermind might just be the most fun you can have redside. Summon your robot army, fire up the weather machine, monologue amidst the chaos. -
Effective but dull. Besides rebuffing your pets every four minutes, there isn't much for you to do. You turn on force bubble, push everything into a corner, and go make a sandwich while your bots ... very ... slowly whittle them down.
I didn't have the patience for it, myself. -
It seems like such a simple thing, for all the FMA fans out there, to swap in a couple of stick models for Dual Blades. But the sound effects would probably be all wrong.
Still, this is a fanbase willing to engage its imagination, so... -
Quote:Erf. First thing I thought of, in fact. I'd better hurry and get my current petless Mastermind to 50 by April.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
I hope the MM's attack from Demon Summoning is Fire Blast and not Whip Attack. If it's Whip Attack, well, then we're going to have the same problem with Thug MMs where MMs take the attacks simply because of the uniqueness of the attack. We'll wind up with tons of Whip Petless MMs.
I don't want to have to choose between a cool Whip Attack or a Pet on a MM; nor have to choose between Whip Attack or a Secondary power.
Good thing there's a double XP weekend coming. -
Thugs/Storm is simply too much fun. That's personal experience; I'd also consider Bots or Mercs.
-
It could be worse - I could watch CollegeHumor clips.

According to WineHQ's entry for City of Heroes, 'Nothing' is currently working. Everyone seems to be hard up against one intractable error or another. So if you're still playing you're in rare company.
After swearing at it all day I've managed to get it to checksum - twice. But then it gets as far as requesting the patch and horks. I could drop back into Windows and update and then try running it with '-project coh' and skip the patch, but at that point I might as well play it under Windows. -
I have two Acc/Heal, a Heal/Rech, two EM/Rech and an Acc/EM/Rech in mine.
With level 50 IO's (Except for one Acc/Heal), Acc, Heal, EM, and Rech are all nicely into ED. -
My Psi/MM/Cold is built along similar lines, with the out-of-the gate philosophy that he was a strict 'scrapper', with not even one ranged attack. (I have trouble leveling blasters, and going deliberately against the grain is a proven way to restimulate my interest. Ask about my petless Mastermind sometime.) At level 50 he combines capped ranged defense (actually a bit over cap) with 30% S/L/E/N defense. Most of the defense is backloaded, however - Frozen Armor is an enormous chunk of it, so he's quite a late bloomer. Snow Storm is a significant source of mitigation as well.

Shocking Grasp: Jagermeister, served chilled and without warning, with the assistance of the security staff.
Blackstar: Ouza and tequlla, served alternately until you either collapse, or successfully fend the barstaff off and escape.
Atomic Blast: Midori and Chambord, shaken over crystals of pure plutonium until hot and glowing and decanted into flutes of champage.
Moment of Glory: After serving all of the above, the bartender wipes the bar down, squeezes the rag out into a shot glass, and garnishes it with a twist. Slainte! -
This is in no way merely a test post, and my feedback on the new forums does not extend merely to 'They look like tinned ****'.
-
Controllers, unsurprisingly. I like having tricks up my sleeve and having things to do. Just running around shooting and rocket-punching people gets tiresome. I have 8. Also 7 Defenders, and 7 Scrappers.
Because you have to have a -little- rocket-punching, from time to time. -
Tweak your builds, work on SF's, pick up any accolades you don't already have, go badge-hunting, or go to Ouroborous and work your way through every story arc in the game.

regen bonus will be the same, since that's not affected by AT modifiers
however, forget traps (I know I'll play one at some point)

I wouldn't be surprised if that combination was disalowed. You can't make Trick Arrow/Assault Rifle custom enemies, after all. -
If I can change Energy Manipulation or Energy Melee's color effects to 'none', then I'd actually play those characters again. The pink pompoms just felt ridiculous after a while.

I hope they dish out Conserve Power from the set and replace it with a click heal or click regen buff, call it Re-charge or something.

I'd be surprised if it stayed in; otherwise Tankers could have two Conserve Powers. And that would be silly. -

They call me Shoryuken, cause I'm downright fierce. -
For a Tier 9? I'd rather I put a pistol away, adopted a modified Weaver stance, braced the gun in both hands, and picked off every enemy in a wide cone with one deliberate and well-placed shot apiece.
Call it 'Get Serious'. -

No idea about super strength.

Hopefully it involves beating foes to death with live sharks.
That would make my Brute very happy. Especially if the sharks also have chainsaws.
... Goodness, I'm positively giddy.
