"Decreased Brute Damage Cap from 850% to 775%."
source

The old dmg cap ment that a brute at the cap would out dmg a scrapper at the cap. That is no longer the case.

If you dont plan on getting IOs then nerve (partial core revamp is what i would get) would be a good choice.

Fire sucks for the low lvls, unless you want to go into AE, as it has no -KB and is quite squishy. As awesome as healing flames is in the end game you need to get it well slotted with +heal and +rech before its really very useful.

Interesting, Foot stomp does about about 350 dmg to for 54s when at the cap.

Im still trying to find some solid info on LRs dmg.

Wow...really?

Soft capping all positionals is amazing. Do it and you will reach a level of awesome you will have never imagined. You will be a nigh-unkillable god among men. The pinnicle of survivability in the CoX unverse. Unkillability incarnate. The...well you get the picture.


Even though you are a stalker.

A Fire tank does really great with a kin, speed boost buffs sooo many of your powers and FS helps Fiery embrace. You 2 will be able to dish out insane amounts of damage.

I laugh at the idea of farming on DM/ and its pathetic AoE, STdps is WORTHLESS when it comes to good farming.

However, can we please stop posting in this thread? There is already one for stuff just like this. Infact it's still on the first page.

I personally like Ill/cold more. Has a bit more -res and much better end from heat loss that AM can offer. BUT ill/cold needs more +rech and a greater investment to surpass /rad. whereas a lot of /rad's powers come in the form of toggles. Of course there is LR which does need a bit of +rech to get perma but benumb needs A LOT more +rech to get perma. And if you do use infrigidate (i don’t blame you if you don’t that power sucks) you can put a -res proc in there and its possibly going to go off a lot more than /rad could.

To my knowladge CoH/CoV are the "same" game now if you own one you own the other. So its know as CoX. GR is not its own game its just an expantion, so i think you would need to buy either CoH or CoV for it to do anything. Anyway, there are Co-op zones where Heroes and villians can team together and sutff. You will also run into villians that have turned good and vice versa. But "true" villains are stuck in the Rouge Isles and "true" Hero stuck in the Paragon City. But they can still visit the Co-op zones and actually go to Praetoria.

Paragon Wiki has an insane amount of info on most everything. Just type in an archtype and they likely have a decent guide on it, as well as their stats etc. There is also Red Tomax it has a lot of real hardcode data on power, it can get a bit technical at times. I actually use mids to find out numbers on powers, I dont know if that link includes the newest version though.

I don't think there are any costume options that are only for a hero or only for a villian. There are however some costume pieces that you have to unlock. And there are Epic archetypes or "ATs."

Welcome to the game

Oh, and Guardian is the best server (thats a joke people dont worry) :P

Yeah, NEVER 6 slot purple sets. The dmg purple is a complete waste of money.

I have to disagree that you give up too much to get to the s/l soft cap. It is VERY easy to get about 60% +rech and still get at the soft cap, after this point the DR gets really really noticeable. Really the only tough thing to get is good end, but like you said cardiac fixes that.

And low acc in kin combat? Here is what i want you to do, go into mids, set your base tohit down to 39% (which is what you get with +4s) you may find that all of your attacks are still at the tohit cap.

However, i myself have actually noticed that A LOT of people run leadership now. So ive been wondering if its not best to get to the s/l soft cap but to get somewhat close to the soft cap for both s/l as well as e/n (if thats even possible)

I'd take a slot of out CJ or maneuvers, put that into KoB, and then move one of the 42s into gloom

I have seen plenty of missions made for elec armor. Don’t know any of the IDs.
And yes, /FA might only excel at one type of mission but it gains inf and tix/min (tix/min is where the money is at but people don’t like to test that it seems) much greater than anything can really come close to. And that’s ALL that matter, the amount of inf you get versus the time you put in.
How many farmers (before the days of AE) run more than one mission anyway? That’s actually kind of the point, imo, the more you run one mish the faster you get at it. You can often double or even triple your original speed without any kind of build change.

Not really. You slot for way too much def, 3 def IO slots in CJ wtf? You gain less than 1% def from all of those slots. Overall id lose some of that that def, 47%ish is fine and get more +rech, end, hp etc.
You want 2 HO membrane exposures in Active defense.
And I would get grant cover, rather than energy torrent likely, the DDR is nice and your team will love you for it.
Not to mention the shield wall and pan proc are both pretty much worthless and not worth it in anyway shape or form, but if you want to spend the inf go for it I guess. Well, pan is nice but just not 1bil+ nice.
