I realize there's a thread for this... but I'm not using an Nvidia card and I'm on a laptop. What is causing this and HOW do I fix it? Here's HiJackThis and CoH Helper text stuff:

The others said it. Unless you want bonuses, go for 3 recharge. MoG already has a ton of defense and resistance. Any more is almost pointless.

It's one thing to ask for no bubbles... to ask you to turn off Dispersion Bubble? Ridiculous. That hurts EVERYONE. Disp. Bubble even gives mild mez protection. Who the hell wants to spite the whole team by having that turned off?

[ QUOTE ]
At this point you are not downloading anything, its working all on your computer.

I recommend excluding the CO* folder from your Antivirus for starters then consider a defrag.

You could also post your system information via DXDiag and Hijackthis, it could reveal more information.

[/ QUOTE ]
Okay, I'm doing that now.
But what do you mean by removing the CO* file from antivirus?

I realize there's another thread on this... I looked at it, clicked a link and tried a couple things... But, the CoH updater is telling me there's 32 hours left to patch. I'm currently going at 20.9 K/sec and the updater calls it "Fixing files piggs." I've patched from the start twice before. Once during issue 5 and the other during issue 13. The former took about 6 hours, the latter took around 9. I realize I have a slowish connection... but 32 hours?? What could be wrong? It can't *just* be "Heavy traffic", can it? Is issue 14 really that big?
So... help, suggestions, anything?
Note: Both of the previous patches were done using this connection.

I see what you mean. A Tank might need to be in Melee range in order to perform effectively anyway (Energy Absorption, Invincibility and Rise to the Challenge come to mind). I assume what you're going for is completely conceptual, and not a buff for Tanks at all. I agree for the most part... but I think Ancillary pools will be as good as it gets. It is a long time to wait... But, I don't see how the devs could work in other attacks into the existing sets without upsetting people. It's a nice thought, though.

I may actually make an Energy Melee Tank/Brute/Stalker if I can change the damn pompoms into something NOT PINK. Even a crimson color would be cool. Just not pink =P

I have no problems with Gauntlet.
It *could* be cooler... but I'd rather the Devs take a look at Defenders' Vigilance first.

So my FF/Rad Defender was my very first level 50. But, he hit 50 years ago; pre-I9. I haven't played him much sense but recently decided to dust him off a little. His build, right now, is a generic IO build. I could use some Power choice, slotting and IO set help. Please note this is a TEAM build, I have NO desire to solo with it.

[u]Set Bonus Totals:[u]

Conceptually, Claws is an excellent idea for a Brute. HOWEVER. I feel they would be far too overpowered. The attack rates would need to be slowed down in favor of more raw power. I think it'd have to be a different set, one that involved less... quickness. If it was a Scrapper port... no. That would be WAY too good. Maybe a sort of Broadsword to Katana thing. Same basic moves, but slower.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Never realized there were so few Katana's compared to Broadswords. Hope they get around to evening that out.. I would really like a Nictus katana

[/ QUOTE ]


Quality over quantity. Half of those swords they can keep. (I'm looking at you, Tsoo katana) I want Scirocco's sword!

[/ QUOTE ]
Haha, I agree.
You're right... Tsoo Katana is almost embarrassing.
I do quite like the Talsorian Sword, though.

I agree.
The sets "Fire Blade" and "Fiery Melee" should be separate. Of course, I don't think much could be done at this point. Although, the sword attacks could have their animations changed (with same activation time, of course) and have their power names changed. However... I highly doubt the Devs would ever do that.

Does anyone have a good elec/SR PvE build?

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Really? I did not know that...
Can anyone confirm?

*Edit* That was to Devian

[/ QUOTE ]

Confirming. In addition to its obvious offensive uses, it also has defensive value. Enemy that stops attacking you long enough to use Recon = good.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, I forgot about this. While fighting an EB or tough Boss, Placate does have more uses (defensively and offensively)

I have Energy Torrent on my BS Scrapper, and the redraw sucks. However, It's negligible if you start a fight off with the attack OR end it. There's no reverse redraw. I usually do it that way.

Really? I did not know that...
Can anyone confirm?

*Edit* That was to Devian

Seriously. After I got Crane Kick and Eagle's Claw (Martial Arts), the need for Placate disappeared. Now, it almost seems tedious to set up Placate for something Eagle's Claw can easily handle.
What I normally do (solo) is wait to use Placate on the last enemy, and I usually have to knock them down with Crane Kick or Air Superiority in order to prevent attacks that interrupt Placate (I'm regen; no defense). It's much easier to click Eagle's Claw and let them die.
So I've heard Placate called one of the four "core" moves any good Stalker should have (the others being AS, Hide and BU). But if it's so good, why do I NEVER use it? What am I doing wrong? Can I get rid of it and not be gimp?

Willpower, definitely.
You will have solid end. management, and a lot of survivability. The only drawback is that you have to wait for QR until 20. Other than that WP trumps Regen IMO

Yeah, as people have said... just do it. WP is incredibly simplistic in terms of strategy. But you may want to look at leaving minions for last -- RttC could use the boost if the Boss is THAT tought

Okay, Stalkers are obviously very different creatures from Scrappers. I decided I would roll a Martial Arts/Regeneration Stalker, despite my bitterness that Quick Recovery was not present (I would definitely prefer it over Resilience). However, I noticed that, at least solo, my blue bar is happy and whole. With AS and Placate, I really only have to *fight* two enemies (at most) at any one time. So, against my better judgment, I completely ignored Reconstruction and Dull Pain. My Stalker performs just fine (she has a bit more difficulty on EBs). I'm a little shocked, honestly. So here's my question: What does one do with Regeneration for Stalkers? I've heard that Dull Pain is worthless thanks to the Stalker HP cap... And I never seem to *need* Reconstruction. Is the set even worth it?
(Note, I'm only level 26; I've yet to try IH, Revive or MoG)

Against an Elite Boss. YES! Anything, really. Triple spawns will let you AS two enemies. It's great quite often.

I've definitely appreciated being guarded by GC on my Scrapper, Blaster and even Tanker (he's WP). However, I did not take the power on my BS/Shield. I guess I solo a bit too much to find it useful, but I do see it as a good power. I'd agree with Werner; take it if you've got room. Your teammates will appreciate it, and it makes a Scrapper an actual help rather than just another damage dealer.

Let me start off by saying that surviving is absolutely not the problem. Don't go there. The problem is overcoming the regeneration rates of AVs.
I could use some IO, slotting or even power choice advice. Don't go all purples on me, I don't have that much inf or time. Here is my current build:

So my current project is a Stalker. I like the playstyle, but mostly just seeing the orange letters spelling "Assassin's Strike" =P
But I've found that, with MA as a primary, I only have TWO attacks and I'm approaching level 18. Furthermore, a suck a tremendous amount of endurance. I found that by adding Air Superiority and Sands of Mu only makes my blue bar angrier =[
Here is my build so far, what's gone wrong?

Jeebers.
$2k is a lot of laptop.
You should be fine for your stated needs pretty much as a matter of course, but here is something to use as a reference and comparison point

That system will do everything you asked for in your OP.
