MA/SR with some IO questions....

Go to cohtitan.com and get a copy of Mids Hero Builder, or, use the suckerpunch online builder.
Hello guys! My main toon is an MR/SR who is closing in on 46 (I am super pumped btw!) and having recently returned to the game, I am confused on what IOs I should be using. The Common IOs seem pretty self explanatory, like training enhancments, only better, right? However, I have no idea what UNCOMMON IOs I should be looking for to use on my toon.
What damage/ACC/END etc shoudl I be slotting? How about the defense set? Do we get "set bonuses" (I learned about that term on the wiki, go me!). I DID check out the wiki, but probably because I am so clueless, I didn't really even understand what I was looking at... so any help would be greatly appreciated! ![]() |
Named sets of IO recipes give two kinds of bonuses: IP bonuses which apply only to the power they are slotted in, and set bonuses that apply to your whole character.
Pop open Mids, and start experimenting.

You can also do this sort of thing in-game, but it can be a bit cumbersome.
...you know, it would be SO nice if the game designers would just buy out the rights for Mids and incorporate it right into the game itself....
Yeah, definitely get Mids. It's a great hand when IO building a toon.
As far as what sets you should go for, definitely keep in mind Touch of Death for attacks and Red Fortune sets for defense toggles. These, when 6 slotted into a power, will heko with defense bonuses (melee and range respectively). Perhaps also Luck of the Gambler [7.5% Global Recharge] and [Defense] IOs for your autos (Agile, Dodge, Lucky) to help with recharge and upping regen. That should give you a good start. =)
