Quote:I hear you; I was in an understrength MOS (not able to do anything/stuck doing the same boring sheet) and got out after 10yrs+ with all the back and forth deployments. It was good while it last and lol at PFC aka private effing civilian...life is good. I've been doing govt work and have met almost as many civilian micromanagers/aholes. A lot easier to deal with the civilian versions though.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Honestly, I had fun while I was in. Just ran into a few of the "Will claw my way over you to advance myself" types and a few of the "I will micromanage every facet of your life, regardless of whether or not it's my business" types and it kinda soured me on continuing. Essentially I slid into a "dead end" unit. Transferring out, when my MOS was at 125% full force strength to any place save overseas would have been tough. And I didn't want to go through the hassle of going overseas again.
So I opted for "promotion" to PFC (the other one).
Hope all is good on your side of the fence now that you dont have to deal with so many "Backstabbing little social insects"
Back to your regularly scheduled programming. -
Luna, I will bring Cyber-Warfare...Fire/TA Corr.
Thanks again and see you tonight. -

It's people like this that convinced me not to make a career out of the Army.
Backstabbing little social insects, the lot of them.
Sorry you had a bad experience with the Army; I went to langage school for a year in Cali, hung out in Europe for years and got them to pay for my college among other things during my time in. Followed a lot of orders and issued a lot of orders

Quote:Eric - Thanks a lot for the input, I appreciate it.Originally Posted by EricHough
The way the SA: Chance for buildup proc works is that it has a chance to go off on you when you activate the power in which its slotted and then it also has a chance to go off on the summoned pets each time they attack.
Even with all the imps that hell on earth summons it would be a waste of the SA proc becuase the overall up time is going to be sad - with a 600 second base recharge and a roughly 90s duration, you are going to be have to work hard to even get 50% uptime on the pets, if that much. Since you can only slot a SINGLE SA: Chance for BU proc you are best of slotting it in one of your pet summon powers that is permanent and features pets that attack a lot and/or do good damage.
On demon summoning, I would put it in either Summon demonlings or Summon demons. You will get more activation chances with demonlings but you might get more damage boost out if it on the tier 2 pets. -
Quote:Same here, sooooo many powers to take...its all good really and bah to APPs. And lol at all the "shortcomings" talk reference PBs/WSs. Again, so many powers to take and if you're a HEAT (specifically PB) and having mez problems or any other issues, you are not building the toon correctly b/c IOs solve all ailments.Originally Posted by Jetpack
I was looking forward to my options for Hero epics on my Crab.
Shame that.
Ah well, I have plenty of powers I can take, so this will make my 40's power choice much easier! And will help with that slot crunch. -
Hello Luna & Freedom Horde, I would like to jump on a team. I will reply again once I figure out what toon I would like to run. Thanks

Has anyone tried this?

If placed in Hell on Earth, does the Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for BuildUp process everytime a Living Hellfire is summoned?
Thanks in advance. -

There are a few Global channels that are active on Victory:
/Chanjoin Victory Forum
/Chanjoin Victory Badges 2009
We have a PvP University Channel that I will send both of you an invite too.
It is pretty hard/near impossible to get picked up on a team without broadcasting in one of these channels or forming your own team on Victory. Most people run with set groups or only monitor the channels for teaming. -
Quote:In Mids, I slotted Summon Demons with all HOs...3x ACC/DMG, 1x END/HEAL and 2x END/RES giving them the following stats:Originally Posted by rsclark
I strongly disagree with Psylenz slotting on summon demons. First off, the heal will really only help with the area heal. The ally heal will always wait until it can heal for full effect, so it will actually delay healing even if it is available until health drops lower. That increases the chance a demonling will die before the heal goes off. It's a big risk for a minimal gain in efficiency.
Secondly, there are 3 IOs with end reduction that all only affect a small portion of your powers. The end red in the heal will only help with the heals and the end red in the pet damage will only help with powers that do damage. Those pets are only getting the effect of 2/3 of 1 IO on any given power at the cost of using 3 different IOs.
You're better off sticking a single common level 50 end reduction IO in there and maybe keeping the pat damage mixed one (since you will use the damage powers more often). That gives you 1 full IO at 40ish % for all powers and around 70% for attacks - compared to his 30-something% for everything.
For an expensive slotting of demons, stick in 2 hamis with resist and end reduction and one common IO resist damage if you want to max that, but switch that to a damaging proc or anything else you want. Then fill up with acc/damage hamis or acc/damage pet damage set singles.
For cheaper. 1 50 common end reduction, 1 common resist damage, 1 acc/dam, 1/acc/dam from a different set, 1 acc/dam/end red, +1 whatever, but I recommend more resist damage to take advantage of those shields.
Also, his prince will run out of end 9 seconds into any fight. You basically have to have a Common IO end red in the prince or he will not function.
ACC - 94.93%
DAM - 94.93%
END - 94.93%
HEAL - 33.30%
RES - 40%
Should I increase the heal and/or resistance aspects? -
I asked in the MM section but thought it would be better to ask the IO gurus here...
If placed in Hell on Earth, does the Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for BuildUp process everytime a Living Hellfire is summoned?

Another question for you guys...if placed in Hell on Earth, does the Soulbound Allegiance: Chance for Buildup process everytime a Living Hellfire is summoned?

Quote:Great idea; it seems like redside lowbie population is low as far as trying to team/get XP.Originally Posted by Hindenburg
Is there a Victory - PvP channel? or will there be a global channel for this?
I'm interested in getting a toon to 50 on Victory/helping lowbies get xp for BC2 through "regular" teaming/tf's.
It'd be nice if I could monitor a global chan., preferably one that will be used even after BC2 is over.. -
Quote:Dromio - Thanks alot, I didn't even think about that; will take a look into it.Originally Posted by Dromio
I think the -regen is the part of Envenom that stacks, but I'm not positive. That should mean you could at least double the -regen if not triple it.
-
Thanks a lot guys, big help in understanding the slotting better.
-
Any help would be appreciated. Most of the slotting I have seen for DS has been in conjunction with defense builds ie no procs and strictly +defense bonus' from 6 slotted IO sets.

Quote:Glad to see ur still around man and I hear you. I was always the opposite, enjoyed PvE and simply ventured into PvP when I got bored and then back to TFing with different toons. Anyways, very cool that you 'got your groove back, Stella', in whatever mode you play in. Maybe I'll see you on one of the WTF jumpoffsOriginally Posted by Supermax
Hey man, didn't see your post until today. I actually gave up on PvP, so I don't bother with it anymore. Been enjoying the PvE since I came back a few months ago...doing lots of TF's and the Incarnate stuff.
PvP is just too broken to bother with. Just by giving up on it and switching to PvE, I went from despising this game and everybody involved in making it, to actually being a CoH fan again
-
I am working on a Demon/Poison and not aiming for a defensive build at this point. I would like to get the MM players ideas for slotting the following:
1) Summon Demonlings
2) Summon Demons
3) Hell on Earth
4) Summon Demon Prince
Thanks in advance all. -
Quote:lolOriginally Posted by The_Masque
Thanks for your input.
Gotta love a response like that to shut em down.
Going to start saying this to my ex-wife. -
DBJ - I understand what PG is saying though...other secondaries have more survivability or other useful tools b/c /Poison is a VERY single target oriented set.
PG - Great set and I enjoyed it, but I tried it before on a Corruptor and I enjoyed it, but traps just seemed too stationary for me.
Thanks again guys, I appreciate the help again. -
Quote:Hey SM, u still around in zones? I havent seen any of your toons but...I just got pawned by your old buddy Darth when I stopped in SC to see what was going on this weekend. About 20 ppl running around (oh how I loved the old PvP zones) and this km/regin with like 20 buffs flew out of the sky and 2 shotted me. I didn't know it was Darth until I switched sides and saw all his buff toons hanging out in the hosp lol. You should get back on it, miss ya.Originally Posted by Supermax
For tankers, make sure it's super strength. Other sets are far inferior. As far as primaries, probably fire or invuln is what you want.
-
Plainguy & DrWhat,
I appreciate the input and agree with picking a different seconday...I have thought about that. PvE has gotten slightly boring after 5yrs of playing and even though I still enjoy it a lot, I sometimes I come up concepts that may play decently in a casual PvP environment as well.
Again, thanks a lot guys for the help and if there is a PvP secondary that you think may be comparable to /Poison, let me know. -
Quote:I know this can be tweaked to be better, but attached is the current Human build I'm using for higher level content and TFs/SFs. Without Cosmic Balance kicking in:Originally Posted by AF_Bill
With the new incarnate system progressing, is anyone working on an updated human only PB build? If so, could you share?
65% global recharge
23.5% +damage (plussed upped with CB)
solid mez resistance across the board
35+% resistance across the board (plussed upped with CB)
2069hps with perma Essence Boost
Reform Essence recharged in 19secs
A lot of toggles so I went with Cardiac and I'm happy with the performance so far. I usually slot my toons with lvl40 IOs so you could squeeze out better #s I guess if slotting with lvl50s.
Hope this helps as an end product to look at; good luck and have fun

To be perfectly honest I'm not "sold" on this new Wonder McBeal concept either, and I'm saying that as probably one of the few people on this thread who's chosen to not automatically pre-judge this show before I see it. *shrugs*
Based on this tiny nugget of info it looks like this show's going to follow the Buffy/Angel/Dollhouse/Smallville model. It's not Lynda Carter's version of Wonder Woman and it's obviously not the version of Wonder Woman many people here feel comfortable with either. But if they manage to "mainstream" the character enough they may very well find a big enough audience for this show to keep it going that's NOT primarily traditional "comic book geeks". Face it people: We are a relatively small minority after all - the chances they are ever going to cater a show like this directly to us is just about nil. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble on that one.
It's funny, in a sadly ironic way, to think that many people here would rather have this new version of Wonder Woman outright fail than to imagine a world where it might actually succeed as a TV show that's not "made" for them. Basically the doom-mongers here are saying, "If it's not 100% exactly based on MY mind's eye version of Wonder Woman then I'd rather NO ONE anywhere have a chance to enjoy it." Pretty damn selfish if you ask me...
Between the alternatives of having a live-action Wonder Woman I don't quite "like" and no version of Wonder Woman at all I'll choose the alternative that finally puts her on my TV later this year. How on Earth do you think there will ever be a chance to have any OTHER version made if we don't at least get the pumped primed with this upcoming show? Do you think any network exec is ever going to consider the idea of making YOUR version of Wonder Woman if they see you pissing all over this one?
Think about it people. Stop shooting yourselves in the foot with all the nerd-rage...
I agree with you...usually TV/movie producers that do heroes on the screen cater to comic enthusiasts like this game caters to PvPers...doesn't really happen. I don't vote for failure, but not interested in a CEO by day/crime fighting vigilante by night type that is supported by a gaggle of computer hackers and R&Ders.
I can deal with some creative manipulation, the same way WW comic producers have changed her overall purpose from the author's original concept over the years. I'll have to see an episode before casting a final vote, but this already reminds me of Ang Lee's wacky interpretation of The Incredible Hulk with that awful film back in like 03.
I understand why they want to play on WW as a recognized icon etc, but if a large portion of a character's storyline is going to be altered, I would prefer they create a show based on a totally new character. That way, not as many people would complain or invoke the ancient ritual of nerdrage. Call her Ms Awesome or Fascinating Girl, she could battle baddos with modern gadgets; taking guidance from a sentient iphone that uses its command of the interwebz to support her and she could arrive on the crimefighting scene driving an invisible VW Bug...done and done.
