While I greatly appreciate all of the tips from TopDoc in the Scoop, I need to know does the latest AV tip still apply after Issue 15? I haven't respec'd YET, and I'm still looking at others results.
Thanks!!!
I'd love to get the 'how to' on that base. Or at least a blueprint. A general tips and tricks article on base building would be a nice contribution.

The "after" Tina still makes my eyes bleed. Those are horrible colors.
Not my favorite color combination, but I wanted it to at least be the same color scheme, at least approximate, to the original.
In the unlikely event that te model does get changed, I do hope they go in a totally different direction. Something fun, spunky, and maybe using Vines, which I am really thinking is my new fav masking set.

Most everything is still valid. Fire and Mind Control Permadoms should still be able to perma-hold AVs fairly easily with the right slotting and enough global Recharge Reduction. Doms with different primaries will still need silly high levels of global Recharge Reduction to stack enough holds, due to the longer animation time. Drain Psyche hasn't changed for PvE, so it'll still drop AV Regen to 0. The loss of the damage bonus in Domination is about the same as the base damage increase, so that's a wash. Anyone who could solo an AV before Issue 15 should be able to do to afterwards, unless they took a hit in single target damage. But there are a couple cases of that.
Psychic Shock Wave is no longer a good power to use in a single target attack chain. I haven't taken a close look at a replacement as I'm busy testing my next soloer. But Drain Psyche would almost let you solo an AV using Brawl and lots of time, so Psi Assault should still be fine.
I hear Electricity Assault took a bit of a hit. It doesn't have a Regen debuff, so it really needs high DPSA to take down an AV. A Fire/Elec may be able to manage thanks to Hot Feet and Imps, but a Mind/Elec doesn't get those. Remember Dominate (Mind Control's single target hold) needs to be slotted for Hold, and it needs to be a major part of the attack chain. An Electricity Assault Dom in Issue 14 who could rely on Charged Brawl and Havoc Punch for high DPSA may not have enough damage in Issue 15. I never played around with the numbers for other sets though, so I can't really say.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
I've moved on to Diablo 3, TopDoc-1304
3 things:
(1) I am surprised that NOBODY has jumped on the hint that Positron gave about i16!!!
TINTABLE POWERS!!!
(2) I tried to go to the "More Images Can Be Found Here " in the Base showcase but it is asking for a password for me to proceed.
Will owner of the Photobucket account PLEASE remove the password qualification so we can see the rest of the images?
(3) I know Trina The Body Sculptress needs to apply some of her skills to herself, but I don't think she needs to sacrifice what she has already just to look like a demented Spice Girl ready to marry herself. There is already one of those out there in the world and she happens to be in a TLC series with eight kids.
Lest the Arbiter forget that *I* have to look at her too!

I hope Trina does post...the Vines and Ulterior sets give me much much more hope for the future of costuming in CoH.
I've lost faith in Jay, but I believe in Trina!
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.
