  1. I'm actually curious - which slots will you give up to slot PP ?

    How much recharge per power is that approx?
  3. Hi all

    I finally managed to purple out my db/wp and had quite a bit of fun doing it

    So I thought it'd be time for a new project after revising all sets I figured I wanted to build DM/SR.

    Now - I'm kinda lost though - should I slot shadow punch/smite/boxing for buzzsaw procs or just one full set for maximum killing speed? (I'm refraining from taking shadow maul for several reasons) OR should I go for the +def % to aim for softcaps?
    (my goal will be to have a steady build - that can play +0/8 - +2/8 (if possible +4/8 but not counting on it) against most enemy types, EB killing (which is ridiculously easy to get on a scrap) and some AV soloability)

    And what is the advised slotting on siphon life, dark consumption, midnight grasp & soul drain?

    (after a while I might go for an optimised chain - smite -MG - smite - SL, but It's most likely I'll stick with Smite -> Shadow Punch -> Midnight Grasp -> Smite -> Shadow Punch -> Siphon Life for quite a while, as Werner once pointed to me it also reaches a very high dps)

    One thingy - is dark consumption really handy to have? or is it a once in a while tool?

    Thanks

    As always your own builds are welcome in my threads as from previous threads those gave me alot of inspiration.

    (p.s.: If you wish to post your build, mind doing it in full form? I'm on a mac & mids hates me )

    dark/cold builds

    Forgot to mention - any chance you can post the full form (skills+when to slot & what io's in it)? I'm on a mac & mid's is poo for me

    dark/cold builds

    Hi

    Found an old dark/cold of mine somewhere lying around. I'm wondering if any of you could post me a medium & large budget builds? I haven't played a corr in RV since i9.

    I found another dark/cold thread with usefull information in it - but I'm looking for builds updated to i16 (especially the medium budget one (around 500-700mil, the high budget is easier to figure out)

    thanks

    ps: if u find a 100 mil build (not incl numina/regen tissue/miracle that's good too)

    Ya tried the toggliing - that's not gonna work for me
    Still got a long road ahead though my PB is 26 atm, but he's getting there.

    Siph took assault, tactics & vengeance. Aren't those annoying to retoggle all the time, or is it just so you have vengeance?

    God - dillema, to have human form shields or not.

    I'm actually gonna try n make a spin-off of siph's build from january 2006

    Any of you guys & other readers would be willing to post a few PB builds? (pref tri-form, if it's human only that's good too)
    Most builds I found date from 2006 and there's been some changes since then
    No need to post personal builds just general ones that apply to i15-16 will do as I want some inspiration/insight.

    One thingy though - can you not post the code for mids but the complete skill/slotting outline as I'm on a mac & mids doesn't work

    Ok ty - just one thing - i see alot of people with shining shield, is that one worth it?

    Hi all
    After chatting a bit in RV etc and lolling around a bit, scouting the forums I decided to take a look into pbs.

    But I was wondering what is actually necesary on a PB?

    I know Nova = blasts at 100ft range, so it's a musthave
    Dwarf = tp for sticky situations, self heal, taunt and mezresist?
    But the human form - I've checked most of the peacebringer threads I could find, and I know human form is good for build up, heals, conserve power,...
    But how many blasts/shields should I take in human form? I often see people take 1-2 blasts in it, a few melee attacks, often tactics aswell but almost no shields. Why is this?

    Also what's the order I gotta focus on in IO sets? +acc, +heal, +rech?
    And would it be good to slot procs in nova's 2 ST attacks?

  16. Got a mail from NCsoft yesterday, that there's a test on Test server after DT is done, and I had to reply them wether my mousebug is fixed.

    Is the end finally in sight?

    edit: aaaand the bug is still there
    Feels good to know that ncsoft is on it though

So I guess it doesn't surprise me that you're getting negative repped, but it still bothers me. In my book, you should have a massive positive rep by now.

    Ah, well. I figure the rep thing is practically a joke anyway. I'll trust people based on my personal experience with them, but I guess that doesn't work for anyone new.

    Sorry for drifting off topic, dume.
    Np for off-topic

    Imo you're forgetting the most important point apart from Umbral being extremely helpful, he's extremely entertaining too!

    Kudos to you umbs

    Cool ^^

    If you're on sals you've probs seen me as Valkoth on there, due to stupidity I can't change that anymore though.

    Been crying about SSTF for 3 days & am close to finishing the final one, goodbye hellhole!

    DB & AVs?

    Thanks for all the build posting going on - fun readthrough & gives me ideas.

    I'm going for 2 builds, one build will be the BF+AV combo which allows me to add more goodies, but this 'll be a second build where alot of my time for funding will go into.
    My primary build atm runs BF+AV+Sweep combo
    my main means of attack is still BF+AV(+power slice occasionally)
    but having that sweep combo is nice in case I need those bosses perma-kd'd and all their minions around me kd'd as it can be lifesaving every now and then.
    So for the sake of endurance I'm sticking with CP on my main build, I might or might not drop it on the second build though, I guess I'll test both with and without CP.

    Anyway a big thank you to dawn, umbral, nihilli, werner and all the others that posted info. I'm usually not into builds this far but as I restarted CoH recently it's actually nice getting into this.

    p.s.: all of you who got neg-repped for helping me got pos-repped for helping me by me!

    DB & AVs?

    Quick question - I saw nihilli slotted fast healing with 5 slots & his RttC with 3 - am wondring why it's not the other way around?
  22. dume

    DB & AVs?

    lol I was set on CP with alot +acc from other sets that aren't too expensive untill I reach the uberexpensive IO sets

    Now umbral made me go haywire

It's the only active mitigation WP gets, and when things start going south (and they will if you don't run a softcapped build) you really want the added resistance to take the edge off you.
    thanks

    I thought of removing SoW at first, but I did some EBs & AVs in architect to see how I'd fare (keep in mind I'm lvl 40 atm with no tough/weave or CP) And SoW saved my as numerous of times especially against AVs with -acc it kept me long enough alive. Then again one could start the argument I'd be better off with FA - but atm another end toggle is scaring me a bit
  24. dume

    DB & AVs?

    great to hear - means I got both combos so I can still dish out that extra aoe dmg & KD, tough/weave & be able to hit +4s

    I'm actually wondering - what'd be the least needed power?
    - Strength of Will
    - Focused Acc
    - Conserve Power

    I only got space for 2/3 & all seem useful
