Mids' Hero/Villain Designer v1.957

Quicker turnaround than normal for a relatively small issue...

Mids’ Hero/Villain Designer 1.957 - June 2012

New features:

• Hybrid Incarnate Pool
• Printer settings actually let you choose a printer
• Added Team Size setting to the configuration window, for use with Vigilance (and, in the future, crit chance for Stalkers out of hide)

• Inherent powers now listed at proper numbers
• Titan Weapon numbers should be correct, and Defensive Sweep usable
• Shield Defense and Staff Fighting now mutually exclusive
• Soul Absorption allows 16 targets
• Respec Window should no longer append the number 1 to level numbers.

• Windows Vista and Windows 7 have issues with the updater due to UAC interfering with writing to the Program Files folder. Many of these problems can be resolved by (a) installing as Administrator, (b) running Mids as Administrator, or (c) installing Mids to a location other than the Program Files folder.
• Diminishing Returns for PvP mode have not yet been added; all buffs currently show their full, unmodified values.
• The Power Graphs for the current build do not display effects for pseudo-pet powers like Ice Storm. This does not affect the Powerset Comparison, which is now fully aware of pseudo-pets.
• Power Boost affects some powers that should ignore its buffs, such as Ice Shields.
• Temporary and Accolade powers are not being affected by buffs such as recharge rate.
• Some powers are enhanced by HOs that shouldn’t be (like Active Defense’s Res(Def))

Woo, many thanks to the team.

Thank you once more

Thanks buds!

FYI, the defense in Melee's Radial branch isn't showing up on the Totals tab.
The resist in the Core branch shows up fine though.

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

You guys are awesome.

Err, none of the Hybrid powers are showing sliders for me. Assault Core doesn't have it for number of stacks either.

Pretty sure the assault hybrids arent working right. The radial seems to be..I think. Showing energy damage is about the same amounts as Hopelings spreadsheet would indicate..

But the Core..even with 5 stacks, powers are only increasing in about 20% damage, and in the View Totals tab, the damage section is definately NOT showing 75% extra.

Minor issue for Melee Core- if you have it toggled off, it will disable the Passive Regeneration Bonus the power gives. Toggled on, it's lumped in with the Front Loaded Regen bonus. Not sure if this is the same problem as putting Gaussian's in Tactics (Either Tactics is off, or it's on with the Build Up effect in play).

Codewalker also has a workaround until it's officially fixed, though:

Change Power Type from GlobalBoost to Auto 6. Hit OK, then Save & Close Edit: You'll need to toggle the hybrid off and back on before this takes effect if you already have a build loaded. The issue is that technically, Hybrid is a toggle that grants you a global enhancement (same as an Alpha slot) that goes into all your powers that take damage enhancements, which has a proc that grants you an auto power that gives you a damage buff. *takes a deep breath* Whew! Mids is getting a little confused because of how it fakes that by merging powers together, so it thinks the damage buff temp power is itself an enhancement and is subjecting it to ED. The workaround shouldn't have any side effects. Since we're setting the number of stacks manually with the slider, there's really no need for it to actually be an enhancement. I'll run it by Diellan in the morning and try to get a fix into the next update.

Bug: For the last couple versions (dunno exactly how long), several Titan Weapons powers don't show anything in the Enhance tab. The power seems to receive all of the appropriate values, but they don't show. Somehow, this also seems to have the effect that Musculature doesn't enhance these powers.

The powers in question are: Arc of Destruction, Rend Armor, Titan Sweep, Crushing Blow, Defensive Sweep. Basically, the only things that do show enhancement values in the Enhance tab (and enhancement from Musculature) are Follow Through and Whirling Smash.

Bug: Run speed is showing as 1.4mph no matter what powers are/are not activated. Makes building a Stone Armor more problematic.
