    It's my understanding that half of Stealth's defense bonus suppresses when in combat, so slotted as you have you'll get around 4% defense instead of the 8% shown in this build. In addition, Stealth has a run speed debuff and IMO, those two things make Maneuvers a much better choice. Maneuvers has a slightly higher endurance cost (.06 EPS) but both are relatively end-heavy and should be slotted for end reduction.

    Other issues:

    Instead of the Scirocco's Acc/Dam and the end red common in BA, try two Scirocco's, the Dam/End and Acc/Dam/End. That will give you more damage, slightly more end reduction, and the 2-slot regen bonus from the Scirocco's.

    As others have noted, the attacks with the Kin Combat sets need another slot, they are currently underslotted for accuracy and damage. I like the Mako's Acc/Dam/End/Rchg, but any IO with accuracy and damage will do.

    The GA End/Rchg in Fire Shield is a wasted slot, FS doesn't need that much end reduction. Drop it and move the GA +Def there so you still get the 5-slot bonus.

    The slotting in Healing Flames is sub-optimal, using the low-level Triage IOs means that you need to have 6 slots to slot it fully. I prefer 5 Doctored Wounds since it has a recharge bonus, but if you want to keep the Numina's I'd drop the Triage IOs and slot a recharge common instead, which will free up a slot.

    You're taking Boxing way earlier than you need to. I'd take Fire Sword at 6, CJ at 14, and Boxing/Tough at 16/18. Alternatively, you could take Boxing/Tough at 14/16, Burn at 18 and CJ at 20. Personally, I'd take Combustion earlier, and delay Taunt or Blazing Aura, but your call.

    Consume is pretty heavily slotted for an attack that's primarily a end recovery tool. I'd slot it primarily with recharge and end mod and use the Oblit set in Fire Sword Circle. But if you do want to slot it with an attack set use 3 Eradication instead.

    Mocking Beratement has a nice S/L def bonus for 4-slotting, so I'd try to find an additional 3 slots for Taunt.

    The fifth slot in Plasma shield is not needed for end reduction and the F/C def bonus is not worth slotting for. I'd drop the RA End, add another slot, and move the Steadfast +Def and Steadfast KB IOs there. Another option is to move the two Steadfasts to Temp Protection, which would actually save a slot.

    Tough is very underslotted for resistance in the posted build, I'd put another Reactive Armor set there, which will get your S/L resistance to almost 74% and provide more S/L/E/NE def.

    Instead of a end red common in Burn and Combustion, try a Multi Strike Acc/Dam/End, which will more fully slot it for damage. I'd actually swap out the Erad Acc/Rchg for an Acc/Dam/Rchg also.

    Weave doesn't need five slots, and you sure as heck don't need the fire resistance bonus for the third GotA. Drop the GotA Def/End/Rchg and use the slot elsewhere.

    IMO, the typed defense bonuses in BotZ are really too small to slot for; I'd drop everything but the KB IO.

    The Gaussian's set isn't a great choice for typed defense, it's a lot of slots for a relatively small bonus. I'd use 2 Rectified Reticle instead plus a slot or two for recharge and move the rest of the slots elsewhere.

    Maneuvers, or Stealth if you choose to keep it, really needs end reduction. I'd drop one of the defense IOs and slot a end red common.

    I don't see much point in getting Conserve Power but not Physical Perfection. I'd drop either RotP or Temp Protection. And if you keep Temp Protection, drop the Psi resist IO, it's next to useless.

    Here's your build with the changes I recommended. I also managed to free up enough slots to use Boxing as a set mule for another KC set. This gets you within 1% of soft-capping S/L, and E/NE is at 32%

    POST-ACTION

    Wonderful, wonderful news! I'm sure he'll be thrilled to be out of the hospital and back to something close to normal life.

    Keep us updated!
  3. Finduilas
    Update: Installed the wireless card from Newegg, and it works great! The reception is terrific, not surprising given that my computer is about 5 feet from the router.

    Sound: No joy there. The Creative installer doesn't show me where it's putting the files, (and won't let me decide, *very* annoying) I can't see what format they're in, and when I have Windows search for drivers, it doesn't find anything.

    Next step is to contact Creative and see if I can get the drivers without installer, or if they have another suggestion.

    Do you have Titan Sentinel? If not, you can get it here:

    http://cit.cohtitan.com/sentinel/

    It will allow you to export your current build to Mids' so you can post it here.

    For sound, you could try a more manual install. I tried downloading the installer for your card to have a look at it. It appears to decompress a bunch of files into a folder under c:\windows\temp. If you open the properties of that unknown device, there should be an Update Driver button on one of the tabs. Click that then go for a manual install and point the install towards the temp folder. Have it search there for drivers. Be sure the little check box to have it search subfolders is selected. See if that doesn't get you somewhere.
    Great suggestion, thanks!

    Which team were you on, Kinrad? My Ice/Axe was the leader of LSK's Sister Psyche team.

    Update! I think (hope) I have found the reason for both of my problems, and how to fix them.

    First, the internet problem. Googling my onboard NIC (a Marvell Yukon 88E8001) I found this:

    http://www.sevenforums.com/network-s...n-88e8001.html

    Evidently, the combination of that particular network card, an ASUS mobo similar to mine (the one mentioned is a P8N SLI, mine is a P5N SLI) 64 bit Windows 7 and more than 3 GBs of RAM will cause this problem. Change any one of those things and it works fine. Since I don't want to downgrade to 32 bit Win 7 or reduce the amount of RAM, changing NIC cards is obviously the best solution.

    Unfortunately, before I figured this out I ordered a cheap wireless card form Newegg; I should have gotten a new network card! Ah well. I'll use the wireless card for now and see how it works--if the performance isn't what I want it to be I'll buy a new network card. Or maybe Marvell will release a driver that fixes the problem; I read that the most recent driver update fixed the problem for 64 bit Vista but not Win 7.

    Sound problem:

    I did get the onboard sound to work, it was just a matter of the speakers plugged into the wrong port. (D'oh!)

    Regarding my Creative sound card, I noticed there was a disabled, unknown audio device listed in the device manager. When I checked the properties, it said it was disabled because there was no driver for it.

    As I mentioned earlier, I downloaded the 64 bit driver for the card, but it won't install because it can't find a supported device. That's right folks, evidently it's unidentified because it doesn't have a driver and I can't install the driver because it's unidentified.

    At this point my plan is to try and find a generic 64 bit sound driver so I can at least enable the card. After that, hopefully once it's enabled the Creative driver will install and I'll be a happy camper again.

    Thanks so much to everyone for their suggestions and support!

    Oh, I forgot about GFS being such a bad attack, thanks for the reminder.

    LSK, here's a revised build with Frost instead of GFS and Maneuvers instead of Soul Tentacles. Of course, you could drop something else if you prefer.

    Fire/Ice Tank

    POST-ACTION

    LSK, I really think you'd be better off going for 32.5% S/L/E/NE than 40% S/L and 22% E/NE. Also, do you really need four powers from Soul Mastery? As it is, your build is rather slot-starved, especially the Ice Melee ST attacks, so I'd consider dropping one of those.

    Other issues:

    As I mentioned, the Kinetic Combat sets need another slot if possible since they're currently underslotted for accuracy and damage.

    Obliteration is a poor choice for BA since it's so low in end reduction. If you lower your sights on S/L def and slot Eradication there instead you'd have it better slotted for end reduction and get some E/NE def besides.

    If you swap out the DW Heal/End/Rchg in Healing Flames for a Recharge, you'll be close to the ED cut-off for both healing and recharge.

    Consume has long recharge, I'd replace the End Mod/Acc with an End Mod/Acc/Rchg.

    Drop the second BotZ in SJ, the .63% E/NE def bonus is not worth slotting for.

    Burn needs more slots, and *definitely* more recharge.

    Swap out the LotG Def/Rchg in Weave for a Def/End/Rchg. The amount of defense enhancement you'll lose in tiny, but you'll gain some needed end reduction.

    Frozen Aura is unslotted for end reduction and needs another slot in general. Use the Erad quad plus something like a Multi Strike Acc/Dam/End or Dam/End.

    Darkest Night is a *very* high-end toggle. If you can't slot sufficient end reduction in it, I'd drop it altogether.

    Here's a redo of your build with your power choices. Unfortunately, I couldn't get E/NE def quite to 32%, but it's considerably closer.

    Another option is to drop one of the Soul Mastery powers for Maneuvers. I know you're not fond of it, and I'm not either for sets that can soft-cap easily like Invul, Ice or Shields. But for a set like Fire that has no native defense at all, I think it's a reasonable choice.

    Basically, yes. You shouldn't have to rely on powers like Consume and Conserve Power to get you through every fight.

    Okay, you're going to have to help me with some this.

    No clue.

    Motherboard: drivers haven't been updated at all by me, had no idea it would be needed. That's something I can do when I get home.

    Soundcard: I have the 64 bit driver, but the installation program says there is no supported device in the computer and won't install it.

    Network card: I updated the drivers, I'm 95% certain they were the 64 bit version, but will double check when I get home.

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, I tried that, several times. No go.

    Yes, that's what it did. However, one thing that you would think would simplify trouble-shooting is that almost nothing is currently installed on the machine except for Windows software.

    I'm pretty sure that Verizon will see:

    and say it's not them, quite honestly - and unless they provide everything (I THINK I'm hearing a separate modem and router - not sure how their FIOS works) support will usually stop at "The modem says it's responding." Or charge to send someone out.
    I really have no complaints about Verizon's responsiveness. I spent probably 45 minutes each on the phone with two different techs and they were sincerely trying to help me solve the problem. The first one actually called me back after we hung up because another tech suggested something else to try, and the second one was pulling suggestions from the internet when all the things he knew to try didn't work.

    That, combined with the fact that I now know this is a issue that's known to happen with Win 7, and that I was able to successfully get a wired connection on my son's Win 7 laptop makes me think there's something funky with my Win 7 install that's causing the problem.

    EDIT: forgot to mention that FIOS provides a combined router/modem.

    This is the integrated card on that ASUS board, I assume?
    Not sure, I haven't had a chance to open the case and look at it--I never noticed when I had it open before. If it helps, it's a Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010.

    Thanks for your help, if there's anything else you think I should look at/try, I'm open to suggestions!

    How to access your modem: in your browser address bar, type 192.168.0.1
    Are you talking about the Windows Firewall or the router/modem firewall? I don't have the Windows Firewall installed--something which it constantly reminds me is terribly dangerous.

    The router/modem has its own firewall, but I'd be surprised if that's the problem since none of the other Win 7 PCs in the house have any trouble, and I was able to successfully get a wired connection on my son's laptop.

    Sorry for slow reply, I haven't had as much time to work on this issue as I'd like.

    The 32 and 64 bit versions are 'equivalent' versions. There is no downgrade from 64 to 32. While you could install the 32 bit version, it would be a clean wipe-and-install replacement for the 64 bit version. Since you clearly have a 64 bit system, a 64 bit OS is generally best. You'll get the most out of your hardware and have better memory management meaning you get to use the full 4GB of memory you have installed. A 32 bit OS can only use ~3GB of the 4 you have. It's a technical limitation.
    As Bill suggested, you can do a "Custom" install, which moves everything on the drive to a "Windows.old" folder. But it means you're starting with something close to a clean slate in terms of installed programs.

    If it installed without complaint then it's probably 64 bit but no harm in verifying. The driver date is the date of release from the maker, not when you installed it. So that driver was released last May.
    I'm almost certain I got the 64 bit version, but I'll double-check.

    Since it's driving me nuts not getting on this computer, I ordered a cheap wireless card from NewEgg so I'll (hopefully) have internet access while I search for a more permanent solution. The Microsoft tech I spoke to on Monday is going to call back tonight, so maybe he'll be able to help now that it's pretty certain not to be Verizon.

    Thanks again!

    Sooo, you're running many attacks underslotted for end reduction, in part because you want to get Consume up often enough to make up for the lack of end reduction in your attacks. And you want Spiritual for *more* recharge so you can use your underslotted-for-end-reduction attacks more often and have Consume up more often to compensate.

    Consume aside, what is all the recharge *for*? Once you have a smooth attack chain, having a lot of additional recharge is only useful for key long recharge powers, or if you're facing recharge debuffs. At some point, I think you need to ask yourself if you're getting more recharge as an end (no pun intended) in itself rather than as a means to achieve a specific goal.

    I'd recommend slotting the majority of your attacks--including BA--with sufficient end reduction so you won't have to rely heavily on Consume to keep your end bar from bottoming out. Make sure you slot your attacks with sets that either provide you with defense, (I'd recommend trying for 32.5% to S/L/E/NE) recharge or some other desirable bonus like recovery or regen. If you have an end-sustainable build, then you should be able to add Spiritual for additional recharge and have Consume as something to get you through the tough spots and not a 'use as soon as it's up' power. After all, you do want some reserve in case of long AV fights, recovery debuffs, etc.

    Unfortunately, it was the upgrade to 64 bit Win 7 from XP that caused the problems, and I'm not sure I can undo that. Is reverting to 32 bit Win 7 possible? I do have the disc for the 32 bit version, so that might be worth a try.

    A few things to try:
    Reseat the cable on BOTH ends, not just the computer side.
    If possible, plug the cable into a different port on your router.
    Since you indicate you have other machines, try plugging one of them in directly with the cable and see what they say. Since they use wireless, be sure to turn it off so they have to use the wired link to connect.
    Try a different network cable.
    If possible, try replacing the network card.
    About the only things on that list I haven't tried are wiring into anther Win 7 computer--I'll be sure to do that tonight if I can pry one of my kids' laptops away from them. I'm a little reluctant to buy a new network card since it seems to be working properly and I never had any trouble connecting until I did the Windows upgrade. But it may come to that.

    For the sound card, making sure it's seated properly and all is a good idea. I'm gathering that it doesn't even show up as an 'unknown device' in the Device Manager?
    Hmm, not sure, I'll have to check. I do know when I tried to install the appropriate 64-bit driver from the Creative website it said it couldn't find a sound card for the driver.

    Quote:
    Oh, and just to be sure you realize this, all drivers you use need to be 64-bit versions. You're on a 64-bit OS and your drivers need to match. I'm not sure it would even *let* you install 32-bit ones, but just in case, don't even try.
    I think I got the 64 bit versions, but I can double-check. (It's just a bit of hassle since I have to download them on another PC and use a flash drive to get them to my desktop.) The driver update for my NIC card seems to have installed properly, though, the driver date shows as 5/2011.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    Not a CoH problem directly, but definitely preventing me from playing.

    Last night I installed Window 7 on my gaming machine. I had been on XP, so it was a full "Custom" install. Everything seemed to go well, but now I can't access the internet and it's not recognizing my sound card. Argh!

    I've been on the phone with Verizon Tech Support (my ISP) twice and Microsoft once about the internet problem, and at this point they're blaming each other.

    My home FIOS network comes up as "Unidentified network" in the Network & Sharing Center, and if I use the Troubleshooter it gives me the message "Local Area Connection doesn't have valid IP connection". It sees my network card and reports that it's working properly, but there's no connection. The wireless computers in my house can connect with absolutely no problems.

    I've tried a whole bunch of things, resetting the router, unplugging the cable (it's a wired connection) updating the network card driver, disabling TCP/IP 6, and several other suggestions I found in an internet search. If anyone has any ideas that might work I'd send you cookies, pie, whatever you want.

    At this point I'm ready to go out and buy a Wireless card because then I'd have at least some internet access. I'd appreciate any suggestions for what type of wireless card to look for that would work with my motherboard. (CoH Helper posted below.)

    My sound problem is that my computer has a Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card, but is convinced that it doesn't exist. I tried to enable the onboard sound in BIOS so I'd have *something*, but no luck so far. The next step is to crack open the case and make sure it's seated properly, not fried, etc.

    Here's my CoH Helper info; no actual CoH info, of course, since I haven't been able to reinstall it without internet access.

    POST-ACTION

    For primarily solo play, I don't think soft-capping is really necessary, but I do think the OP needs at least 32% defense to S/L as well as E/NE/F/C. To do that, first order of business is to drop the Leadership Pool for Fighting. Weave provides a lot more defense at a lower end cost than Maneuvers, and the S/L resists in Tough will be useful, too.

    Other issues:

    You don't have a Steadfast +Def slotted, you definitely need to pick one up and slot it in a resistance power.

    Quick Strike and Body Blow are underslotted for accuracy; at least one of the non-KC IOs should have some accuracy in it. I'd drop both procs in Body Blow, procs are most useful in quick-recharging attacks or AoEs.

    High Pain Tolerance needs to be slotted for resistance as well as Healing--two level 50 commons will do. I'd move the Regen Tissue +Regen to Health.

    Drop the RA endurance IO in MoB; it doesn't need that much end reduction and the F/C def bonus is not worth slotting for.

    Use a Def/End/Rchg in IW instead of a Def/Rchg, it'll still be above the ed cut-off for defense and will have more end reduction. Also IMO you should not bother to 4 slot IW unless you have extra slots. IW only provides Psi defense but Heightened Senses has S/L/E/NE/F/C defense--if anything, it needs to fully slotted.

    Rise to the Challenge is overslotted. Pull two slots and put the +regen/recovery in a passive like FH or Health.

    QR is underslotted, is has a higher base value than either Stamina or Physical Perfection. I'd add another slot to get it closer to the ED cut-off.

    The Gaussian's set in Power Siphon is a poor choice for a typed defense build, it's a lot of slots for relatively little return--especially since you need to concentrate on getting your S/L defense up. Rectified Reticle is a good alternative.

    Mako's Bite and Obliteration are primarily positional defense sets, I'd use another Kinetic Combat set and Eradication instead, which will give you more defense with fewer slots.

    The regen/recovery values of Physical Perfection are half that of Health/Stamina, but you've slotted Health much more lightly. Pull a heal slot from PP and put it in Health.

    Here's a quick re-do of your build with higher S/L defense and resistance, higher regen, and IMO, better slotted attacks.

    I read "super budget" as "super expensive", but I can easily see how one could get the opposite meaning from it. "Super" can either suggest size or quality, which when used in conjunction with "budget" leads to completely different interpretations.

    /pedantry

    My biggest concern with the build is that only one out of all the attacks is fully slotted for damage--Smite. All the rest are either underslotted (Shadow Punch) or completely UNslotted for damage--everything else.

    I know that a Brute can and should use Fury to buff damage, but to leave most attacks unslotted for damage seems like a really bad idea to me. Especially since there are plenty of ways to build for defense using sets that actually enhance damage as well.

    Not sure I understand why that would be an issue. PF gives a straight 5% defense in all circumstances, and that's what is being used in your build. That part of the defense is unehanceable, which is why most players don't slot PF.

    There's an additional, enhanceable defense buff that you get when allies are nearby, but most players just consider that a nice bonus and not something to count on. If you check the info on PF in Mids' you'll see that the allies are set to zero, so the only part that is being counted is the "always on" part, not the ally-dependent buff.

    Terse, if that option doesn't work, as I mentioned in my first post you could drop an attack like Fire Sword. Unfortunately, that would leave you low on ST attacks until level 35. If you have vet attacks like Sands of Mu that could help, or you could take Fire Sword while leveling and respec out of it later.

    Hope that helps!

    EDIT: Oops, just noticed that your original build had Fly/CJ instead of CJ/SJ, so presumably you do have City Traveler. So yeah, dropping CJ would work if you want to give up the additional movement speed and defense that CJ provides. On my Shield/Elec I actually skipped getting an epic pool altogether and got Aid Self instead.

    POST-ACTION

    If there's a 'gold standard' for Ice Armor, I'd say that it's to soft-cap S/L/E/NE without EA. It's not hard to do, but most take the Fighting Pool to get Weave in order to accomplish that rather than Maneuvers. Weave has much more defense than Maneuvers at a slightly lower endurance cost, but you do need to take three powers to get it. However, one of those powers, Tough, is also quite useful.

    So I'd consider dropping Maneuvers and two other powers to pick up the Fighting Pool. Personally I'd skip at least one of the Soul Mastery powers (the Widow pet, certainly) if not two, or one epic and one other power, like Smite.

    Other issues:

    Frozen Armor is extremely underslotted; IMO it needs four slots, or three if you want to use a Enzyme Ham-O as one of them. The same goes for GA and Weave if you take it. You want at least 30-40% end reduction in each, currently FA, GA and Maneuvers are all unslotted or underslotted for end reduction.

    If possible, add another slot to Shadow Punch so it has sufficient accuracy and damage.

    Eradication is a much better choice for Shadow Maul, Soul Drain and Icicles since it provides a nice E/NE def bonus. You just have to add an additional slot or two from another set for end reduction. Currently, Icicles is extremely underslotted for end reduction, it should get at least 60%.

    Hoarfrost is underslotted, I'd recommend 5 slots of Doctored Wounds, which also gives a decent recharge bonus.

    Siphon Life is a good attack and should be slotted as such rather than as a heal.

    Energy Absorption should be slotted for high defense, recharge and end mod. I recommend adding 3 high level End Mod set IOs, heavy on the recharge.

    Hibernate is way, way overslotted. It doesn't benefit from recharge so I'd just leave it with a Heal or End Mod common in the base slot. The Regen Tissue is completely wasted there, you'll only get the regen bonus when Hibernate is active. Put it in Health instead.

    Dark Consumption can also be slotted with Erad for the E/NE defense bonus, but end red is less of a concern there since DC has a tiny end cost.

    I don't have time at the moment, but I'll try to post a redo of your build later.

    Okay, from the top:

    Deflection needs to be slotted for *defense* primarily, not just resistance. Four-slotting it for defense with LotG or GotA will do a lot more for you than the tiny defense bonuses in RA. Add two level 50 resistance commons in the last two slots, and move the Steadfast +Def--One with the Shield would work well.

    Ditch the Psi resistance IOs; you're not going to be able to accrue enough resistance to make a difference.

    Kin Combat is NOT a good choice for positional def, it's very expensive and the bonuses aren't large. You could get twice as large a melee defense bonus by 6-slotting ToD.

    I'd move the Numina and Regen Tissue uniques to Health. True Grit needs to be slotted with Heal to maximize the HP bonus. Use two resistance commons instead of the Imperv Armor.

    Having two attacks slotted with Oblit can be a problem because they're underslotted for end reduction. Once Deflection is properly slotted you won't need both, so I'd change the slotting of FSC, perhaps to Scirocco's Dervish if you need the AoE def.

    A properly slotted Shield tank does NOT need Maneuvers to soft-cap. I'd drop it and pick up Grant Cover, which will provide some defense debuff resistance. Hasten would also be a good choice.

    A full set of Gaussian's is a better choice for positional defense than the Rectified Reticle since they have a 2.5% defense bonus to all positions.

    Here's a quick redo of your build with around 50% defense to all positions with no Maneuvers. I didn't use LotG everywhere I could have because it was over the Rule of 5 for some bonuses. If you are willing to drop an attack, Fire Sword for instance, you could also pick up Hasten which would be very useful. I added LotG +Recharges up the limit of 5, but if they're outside you budget you can easily replace them with another LotG IO.
