Clouded

Is anyone really surprised by these numbers? I personally have had to make monetary sacrifices in my household to account for the loss of business in my field.

Either way, I don't really care. I'll play this game until the servers shut down.

This thread is awesome.

Two thoughts:

1. The title needs more ?

2. Dark/* can provide acceptable aggro control with Fearsome Stare, Tar Patch, Dark Servant, Darkest Night and Blackhole (lolblackhole).

Wow. Some of you regular forumites need to back off the snark. We WANT people to come back and play this game. Sheesh.

Every time I used SC it reminded me of the old Energy Transfer...too good to last.

I think Impervium Armor has some Psi Def bonuses and there is a Aegis +Psi unique as well. I choose to focus on recharge to make Hoarfrost my protection against Psi and some Fire attacks. I didn't slot any purples and I'm able to achieve perma Hoarfrost when Hasten is active. So, if I know there is a big bad Psi AV in a mission I try to save Hasten and Hoarfrost for that battle, and that paired with teammates buffs/debuffs tends to mitigate most of the psi damage.

Shields is cool and all but I find SR to be the bees knees in terms of straight up survivability. I should note that my experience with SR is from a Brute perspective while my SD experience is with Scrappers.

Go Rad/MM and be an AoE monster.

Dang, that's really cool. Wish I could go back in time and tell myself to buy CoH 24 months sooner. :/

Hello, my name is Clouded and I'm a Respec-a-holic. I tend to respec characters based off proposed builds and I do so frequently. I understand the 10 enchancement rule in game but it's not something I agree with entirely. I've learned to work around the rule by using 2-3 respecs to get out all the echancements I require.

My most recent example is my FM/SD Scrapper. I chose to respec him from the Body Mastery Pool to the Flame Mastery Pool. This required me to move around ~15 slots in the entire build since Conserve Power and Physical Perfection were both slotted minimally but Fire Blast and Fireball are both six slotted. I made a couple other changes due to the BotZ changes as well.

So in this instance, I had to use 2 respecs to avoid losing out on some expensive IOs. Was it greed? I guess. I just didn't want to use another 400+ merits or spend another couple hundred inf for the IOs I already purcahsed/created once before.

Since we are talking Shields...don't forget to slot AAO with 3 Def/Rech S/HOs (I forget the name). The Def portion of the enchancement will also increase your DDR, and you slot 3 to get the DDR to double stack.
