    Formerly it failed to work on pets lower than 50 but it does work in all pets now. Keeping the pet's combat attributes open with show it, and I believe it has a buff icon too, but I have those turned off.

    I have used it in my assault robot, because she has the most AoEs and gets the most use out of it. For other sets, it would depend. Putting it in the lich would be a waste, as he doesn't do a lot of damage.

    Thanks for this info, I have often wondered why my WP characters seem to hold less aggro than others with a taunt aura.
  3. Really appreciate this issue being looked into, thanks for your hard work ladies and gentlemen.

This build would be very hard to defeat when built properly. No shield charge though.. Heh. Not sure if I can perma hasten this build and maintain good def/res values.

    I know I would kill everything quickly with SD... But I would be more survivable with INV. What are your thoughts? I'm thinking of going claws for my primary or maybe wait for GR for the new primary.

    Any help? Ideas?
    Well, if you're going claws, you're going invulnerability. You might have to make some tradeoffs regarding permahasten and defense, but that's up to you, of course.

    Sorry, didn't mean that in a rude sense, just seems crazy to burn holiday time to play video games, that's all. I play on my days off, can't imagine taking time off work specifically to play a game. If that's your thing, more power to you. Sorry for getting people's knickers in a twist.

    You take time off from your job to play video games?

    I am quite confident that nobody is using five hecatombs in any one build.

    This is exactly right. It's a pain I have two accounts in the house and buying the addons et cetera is tiresome.
  12. Gimme a sec to check, I will edit this post to let you know.

    Edit: Alas, nothing. Good luck!

    So I put an item on the market before it would tell me if any people are bidding or selling so I know if it's worth to put up or vendor.

    But now I have to search for every item cause the window at the bottom where you stick the item just says 0 selling, 0 buying.

    I really hope I'm missing something obvious and if I am someone please fill me in.
    It's a pain to be sure. I just click the Find button on the lower pane to make it show up in the top pane. I wish this would get fixed, seems silly to have to do this.

    The current channel is Virtue LFG Alpha. Virtue LFG is private and not currently available for general use, and may be unused entirely. If that should change in the future, the Virtue LFG Alpha MOTD will be updated and everyone will have the opportunity to shift back to Virtue LFG.

    If there is a currently subscribed and active moderator for Virtue LFG reading this thread, please PM myself or Quinch.

    edit for clarity. I do not have access to Virtue LFG and cannot invite anyone to that channel.
  15. I've found it just fine to level DB characters as if combos didn't exist until Attack Vitals and then Sweep. The others are lackluster at best anyway. I do take Blinding Feint because hey, why not.
  16. Sorry for being unclear. When I said "much lower settings" I meant "not using ultra mode." I realize folks are enabling features on lower-than-spec cards and having few issues, but that's not guaranteed to produce a satisfactory experience. If you've tried various settings in ultra mode and gotten no improvement, it might just be too much for your card to run ultra mode at all. Does it run all right on legacy settings?

    Doesn't look like anything's too far amiss on the report, other than sound drivers being outdated and your OS needing updates. I don't see those things helping your issue. I don't have any other suggestions; I think your card is just not up to ultra mode
  17. Without seeing a helper report or anything, I'd lay the blame on your video card. It's not really up to the task of maxing out ultra mode, and it might be below minimum recommended spec to run ultra mode at all. You might have to resign yourself to much lower settings. As far as the ram thing goes, COH uses a gig or more of ram on my machine too, but so what, that's why I have all that ram is for apps to use.
  18. My wife and I have formed a pickup Doc Quaterfield team at ten PM Pacific, which is about 0600 GMT. There's always people around on Virtue, although redside can be thin at the times you list on weekdays.

    I hope that you find a good server, whether it's Union or a NA server.
  19. I try to slot out with 30-33s for malefactoring purposes. So, I guess I start slotting sets around threat level 27.
  20. Without spending too much time thinking about it, four-slotting Reactive Armor and four-slotting Kinetic Combat is gonna treat you very well indeed. Mix in whatever else you need to get what you want. My own invulnerability characters became like unto gods after adding a generous dose of S/L defense. Just remember to slot out DP for max recharge and max health.
  21. Fine with me, lord knows we need maintenance.

    (I know this is the way that it's meant to be.)


    Any how, I had a bash as an SR build... can anyone better this, advise me, even suggest another set or pair of sets....

    Thanks in advance for your help
    I bolded the parts where you are going wrong.

    Brutes aren't redside tanks. They're Brutes. Their job isn't to emulate tanks. They're not designed to attain tank levels of mitigation without outside support (although IO sets can let you do this anyway). On the flip side, Brutes belt out a lot more damage than tanks, once you build up a full head of steam, and benefit a lot more from outside damage buffs than tanks.

    Brutes are their own AT, just like Dominators are not redside controllers and Corruptors are not redside defenders. Trying to play the redside ATs as if they were just villainous versions or blueside ATs is a recipe for frustration, disappointment and a generally bad time, for both you and everyone you team with.
  23. I am currently running a claws/electrical armor brute up the ranks. It's been a rough ride but I made some mistakes; I should have taken my damage aura earlier. Once I got Energize things really smoothed out a lot, but you are still a resistance set with a long-recharge heal, so insps and IOs are pretty much par for the course. WP as you've seen is fire-and-forget and doesn't need IOs to stay upright all day long while leveling.

    The combination of follow-up and fury and spin and a damage aura really makes you into a meatgrinder.
