Yet Another Human PB Request


AF_Bill

 

Posted

I know this has been posted several times, but there are so many threads with different requirements it’s hard to track which is what.

Anyways, I want to work on my Human-only PB. I like my toon’s concept and so far the play style. I just had to get away from playing a scrapper or brute, I just have too many. I have a nice concept I’m enjoying too, which I need to continue playing.

Anyways, I’m looking for a human only PB with unlimited funding. I don’t mind any using mule slots, but I just don’t like glinting eyes (for this guy anyway). I’m sure there are already builds made for this exact request… cares to share? I’m looking for a long term build.

Thanks in advance!

We don't really give builds away here. If you post a build you've worked out for your character yourself, many would be glad to help it. If you are just looking to jack a build someone else made, it would probably be best for everyone if you did your own lurking.

Someone's in a bad mood. Check the Build Workshop area of the forums.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Sorry, I did not know the Kheldian forum build etiquette. I’m use to other forums, like the scrapper forums, where if someone had already built something in Mids they are glad to share and tweak ideas to make them their own. I fully understand if someone wanted something that had not yet been created, but…. I understand your concerns for copyright infringements.

Now I feel bad about the times I’ve posted helpful build ideas to others and wish I gave them an opportunity to create something from scratch when they were looking for ideas. Thank you for the new look on helping others! I will do better next time.

Thanks Aneko… I will take a look.

The Build Workshop was added recently to move the builds out of the individual archetype sections, so don't feel badly about not knowing.

Here's a build I made to see if I could soft-cap S/L and get perma Hasten, Light Form, and Inner Light. It works once you've got T3 Total Core Spiritual, but it's yours to copy or get some ideas from. Good luck with your build, Bill.

Don't listen to some self-entitled tool who speak 'for the forums' or 'this game is srs bsness'. For some of us making builds is like a mini game, I actually like making builds for ATs I have experience with like lolStalkers.

My PB's planned build is sucky but I'm bad at making top end PBs, plus she's only 25ish and I don't think I'll level her soon or I'd try to help

I see nothing wrong with what I said. People put effort into their builds, different things work for different people, and lots of players are willing to help with them, myself included. I think I've helped more people with their Kheldian builds than most people on this forum, so I definitely don't have a problem with helping people out.

When someone posts saying, "hey here's my build, here's what i want to do, here's what I can spend," I am almost always one of the first people to give feedback.

When someone says "give me a build," I become annoyed. There are tons of builds posted in this section, many of which would fit the OP's needs.To me, it's bad enough to not be willing to make your own build, and much worse to not even be willing to browse the forums and decide which build you'd most like to steal on your own accord.

It's the presumptuousness.

He didn't say that, though. He said "care to share?"

I hate math and I hate min-maxing. I'm one of those people who practically needs to start with a template that I can then flesh out as I become more familiar with the game or the archetype. Especially with the HEATS and VEATS which can seem a bit complicated if you're not familiar with them. I'm grateful that back in I2/I3 kind folks offered to share builds with me. Helpful community is one of the reasons that I'm still here. :-) The more builds that I see, the more ideas I get.

I'm not saying that you should share your build if you don't want. However, I'd hate to see people discourage from sharing builds because you don't want to share yours.

On a personal note, I think that a forum for builds was the wrong way to go. I'd rather see a sticky for each AT within the respective forum that has builds.

(edit) P.S. This thread has some good builds for unlimited funding: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=278246

My intent is not to cause a war of any kind. I did review other threads before posting my thread, but of the ones I read there were other requests. I did find a couple of builds, such as one you posted Twoheadedboy (thank you), but people tweak and find things to improve all the time and I enjoy getting opinions from multiple people because most creative thoughts come from different opinions. Since I like melee play style I felt someone might have seen something there that could work for my experience.

I have found most people enjoy sharing their “masterpieces”, because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or just to help. Also, many folks have limited game time as it is and making builds takes time, time I don’t regularly have.

Anyways, I do appreciate the positive posts and look forward to trying a few things in game for enjoyment.

Happy Hunting and/or creating.

I know you help out with builds and other stuff too. I don't even think that you were rude in saying 'go make your own' since it's not uncommon, it's just the 'we don't give builds here' part like it was a general rule (as Aneko said, sound presumptuous). Nothing wrong with someone not wanting to give away builds or saying 'my build is secret' or stuff like that. But some people do like making up builds just for fun, so 'we never give builds' is not a rule in any AT forum. May be yours and you're certainly entitled to it.

Sorry for the name calling btw, that was unnecessary.

It's ok. The thing is that generally only a hand full of people on the Kheld board devote the time to helping people out with their builds on a (somewhat) daily basis, myself being one of them, and we all generally view it the same way: We're more than willing to help people out if they're willing to put the effort into helping themselves out.

I'll help out with builds as well. I'm new to the forums, but I've been working with Mids for quite some time. (Can't do much else when your computer crashes every 5 minutes when CoH is open.)

Post your build and I can help. Dunno if I'll post my triform build or not.

This thread has some cheaper human builds (which you can optimize depending on your budget), the one mentioned by nivho was started by some guy who was like 'I wanna see if you guys can come up with a build not muling Dwarf' and later he was 'now I wanna see builds without the fighting pool' (funnily that made people post a lot of stuff because the OP challenged the others instead of just asking), so the builds posted in that thread, besides expensive, may not be optimal.

While I'm enjoying my PB a lot, she's been leveling slow due to being on Champion (I usually play on Freem/Virtue) so I still use shields and stuff high end builds skip.

I did NOT ask for people to post builds without the Fighting pool. Someone got a wild idea in their head that I did, and posted one unasked. Please do not misrepresent my words.

You may be thinking of this thread, which is where I expected her link to lead.
