Okay, two things that will help you immensely.

  1. Grab a copy of Mids Hero Designer.
  2. Grab copy of Titan Sentinel.
Titan Sentinel will allow you to export your EXACT build from the game into Mids.

This will make it very easy to view how your build looks and give you the ability to then export the build into a forum-friendly format for others to look at and make suggestions on.


Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Note, you need to be running the game while playing said character and then use the utility function to be able to grab the export.
