Ok so I dual box on my rig and use the command line after the direct link to coh.exe -uskin 2 -proeject coh -fullscreen 0 -maxactivefps 2
Would I place this in the extra command parameters of the ncsoft launcher for city of heroes?
Man if that doesn't work ncsoft will have to kiss my other accts sub goodbye. -

fire/mental blaster he kills really fast but on my FA/SS/EM she has better health and staying alive skills but my but the other one kills like a machine but on so many -recharge enchancements on both psychic shock wave inferno and fire ball if you take my advice now you will have a sucsessful farmer. -
Quote:Well bragging about your victory over your friends ss/fire brute should be made into a badge. Truly it is a sight that brings joy to a tanker...But I also feel sorry for your friend because his performance brings shame to owners of ss/fire brutes. None of my fire tanks can touch my ss/fire brute which indeed makes me cry but what can I do?Originally Posted by LSK
Ok that is not true, I did that farm once, ONCE, on my fire/fire tank, and my friend did it on there ss/fire brute. Guess who did most of the killing? My tank yes my tank did most of the killing and I also out damaged him in most of it.
-
Honestly your biggest problem is its a tank and not a brute. What's a tanks damage cap 350%, where as a brute is at 675%. Its not that you can't still farm but efficiency can be thrown out the door. Are you using and keeping at least a luck up at a time? Another question are you ticket farming? Because if you are its perhaps smarter to just tone down the difficulty to reach the ticket cap for that mission.
-
The market is always changing so its hard to nail the correct recipes. It depends on how much you want to make. If you only have 3000 tickets than sale 26 to 40 arcane and tech salvage. On my low level toons I'll sale unique rare salvage till they can score better bronze since they can't hold much for recipes.

Quote:Yeah that time is more respectable of the build. How does that build do with general overall content at +4/x8? Just curious since I use my farming build for all around content and some I have to just turn the diff down.Originally Posted by Dacu
I've only ran frontload a couple of times previously so maybe I'm not approaching the map in the best way. On +4/8 with bosses I got a 3:00 run time from first attack to last mob dead. I've seen faster times posted in this thread but it might have been before the reactive fix.
FRONTLOAD:

As for the build, if you replace the purple sets with regular ones (Armageddon with Obliteration, Unbreakable Constraint with Basilisk's Gaze, and Absolute Amazement with Stupefy) it becomes a not to expensive build that should be manageable by most, while losing only a few recharge points (198% - 187%).
I guess by expensive for the "casual" gamer if the build besides AE drops costs b/t 1.2 to 2 billion its expensive. With AE drops my most expensive purchases was the gambler recharge and the miracle +recovery and all total it was about 300 million. That's what I consider cheap and I know buying those purples, recipes only, is about 30 million +. -
Quote:Its a nice and very expensive build. I'd like to see your numbers on fuzzy kitten's frontload. Because frankly with that expensive of a build, a 5 min cyborg doesn't do it justice.Originally Posted by Dacu
Honestly, I'd like to see it done. I'm assuming were talking about Crey's Cyborgs (472577). The fastest I can get my SS/Fire brute (and he has about 200% recharge) to run that map is 4:30-4:40. Most runs are about 5 minutes because of chasing after the stragglers. It does take me close to 30 seconds to run in, destroy both ambush objects, and position myself in the center before I start attacking.
Here's a video of my brute running that farm. This also shows pretty much no gap between the AoEs (BL-FS-Burn-Fences)

I just can't understand why a dead horse has to be beaten over and over about raising of tanker damage cap? Its like a kid whining until he/she gets their way.
Wasn't the thread about discussing the new tanker powersets? -
My logic has always been go granite as a tank and fiddle fart the other armors as a brute. Build your granite for speed as best as you can and tank. The days of farming with granite died when burn was reborn and the AE welcomed its rebirth.

How's Martial Arts on Tanker? It doesn't look very good on paper.
Frankly I'd be happy if it wasn't impressive, allows only the dedicated to take it on. I've never been overly impressed with ice melee but ice has its advantages. Maybe porting it to the tank will dumb it down to the point where general pop feel sorry and invite you to their teams. Ice/MA sounds like a sick combo now that I think of it, of course so would stone/ma. (I have a feeling stone/MA will be like a stone/claws only in a test phase) -
What if they increased the magnitude of the tank's taunt? Double of what it currently is but not to the scale of the old "Hollows" herding days. Being able to hold twice the amount of aggro may be of a benefit to a team. Of course pre-IOs I made a tank for soloing the highest difficulty but not so much now.
-
Well just because incarnates have given more to brutes and scrappers I don't think that it calls for adjustments to tanks damage cap. We still get lore pets to help out damage, plus when did tanks start crying on the picket line?
Anyways I look forward to an sr/ma tank. I finally get to make batman's hybrid from another universe. -
Personally I love my em/elec brute for some mayhem in the RWZ. Despite the long animation in ET I still dig the set. It takes a special love for the set. And yes an tank with em needs to "love" the set. Mine is still 42 and I started him in 2005.

Quote:That's not too shabby. I've been running mine on ultrawatts maps and I dig the dark consumption as an extra minion killer when its up. This brute I have in a leveling pact so his leveling is slow but at least he's making a killing on the market.Originally Posted by PBaRmy
So as far as farming goes, how would u rate a dark/fire brute thats doing cyborg map 54x8 with 1 on map for veng bait running it in 4 mins flat consistantly?
Thats starting time of running in and hitting veng til clicking comp for mish complete with all the guys dead, no stragglers -
Quote:Ditto on dp/kin.Originally Posted by Dusk_Knight_NA
I play a DP/Kin Corr at incarnate level and I enjoy it a lot. I'm rerolling him as Time Manipulation when it drops though (Not because I don't love Kinetics, but more for thematic reasons).
That being said, there's a nice synergy with Kinetics insane recharge and being able to drop your Tier 9 nuke frequently. With 2 other Speed Boosts on me I was at 320% recharge last night. I don't have a single LOTG slotted. But I am at 41% recharge with my IO sets. With how often DP finds itself in melee or near melee situations, Kin seems like a good match.
Did I read that right re-roll a dp/kin @ incarnate level, meaning deletion? -
It would be nice to know if we'll be able to purchase very rare or purple receipts with our points.
-
Sorry didn't read all the "hate" but do / sign this. I don't see this as a problem since majority of MMO's and a few RPG' s (torchlight, dragonage, and fable series) allow for a companion to go sell "junk" to the vendor. I'm sure if torchlight devs can code it then surely the devs here could give a option for it in the settings.
-
I agree with the either keep account active or even bookkeeper_jay idea of one or two. Maybe take the same direction as character unlocks.

PVP in this game is sad, always has been. I don't think a powerset change that was to benefit pvp ever did any good to pump up the zones. Only times it actually was fun was during the first times rounding up signature heroes and villains as a huge horde in RV. Granted this was only on the champion server and not virtue/freedumb.
Nowadays pleasing the pvp crowd is an after thought, kinda like energy transfer. -
I've tried stone/fire and used a combo of fault + burn + Tremor + stone fist/stone mallet/heavy mallet/Seismic Smash for clean-up. I believe once you cross out ss/claws/db pretty much any melee can run for the money. I wished at times they would turn total focus into a PBAoE damage.

Quote:The biggest thing about claws/fire right now is the availability of spin at level 6 and running the lowbie AE missions. Mace can still be used but it'll be slow until you unlock Whirling Mace at 18. The AOE is the kicker for the low level map. I think dual blades and spine are the best for the lowbie map. You could use dark but shadow maul's only going to dish out cone damage.Originally Posted by HarbingersGale
This sounds amusing even as I write it but, arguments about aoe radius aside, why wouldn't Mace/Fire be a contender? No KB like in some Claws attacks, more farm-usable AOEs than either Claws or SS, can slot 2 +rech IOs in AOEs instead of the 1 SS does (cuz you aint slotting it in Hand Clap), and room for more Oblits.
Can someone (who is better than me) show me an optimized build/attack-chain for Mace/Fire (like BillZBubba does, arcana time, etc.) so I can objectively compare?
I know I must be 'wrong' since it IS Mace but, for the life of me, I can't see why farming wouldn't be a reason to roll a Mace (scary). -
I guess we'll see when it happens. I mean folks were all smarty-pants on the "this game will never have FTP" and look what just got announced. They have to draw in the subs and what better way to do it then unleash the unexpected!
-
So what does this mean? Did all the haters of Freeform just get smacked with the dumb bat?
I also laugh at all the folks who said free-to-play would never happen, fools step aside! -
I tried it out on my claws/ fire grak some but my slotting wasn't prepared for it. I had the diff at +1/x8 of course with TOs. I faired better with the other one: 503858 (?) since it was all fire. I think had I built for res it would've went better. I'll have to try it with my claws/sr and see how he does.
