I'm a seven year CoH veteran, but Monday night I completed my very first Hami Raid with my main, an Invul tank.

And boy, did I suck at it. All the mitos looked alike, I didn't know what was going on half on the time, and I definitely didn't pull my weight as a Hami tank.

But you know, it was really fun (in a 'God, I can't believe I did that' kind of way,) and very enlightening.

In particular, I'd like to thank the lead tank on the raid. (I forgot to write down his name, unfortunately, but I think there was only one Hami raid on Justice Monday night.) He/she was unfailingly polite and patient, and never once told me I was an idiot no matter how much as I felt like one.

So cheers, Justice, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for seven years.

But next time, maybe I'll try a scrapper.

Are you looking for comments? If so, with this build you're going to be able to land about two attacks before your blue bar disappears. Even less than that if you have to use Dark Regen.

A couple of my bases have the annoying "rent paid up but no power and control" problem. In the past I always had to petition to get this problem fixed.

Does anyone know if GMs are still answering petitions, or did they go away when the devs did?

Thanks!

I have a character that needs a couple of G'rai matter to finish up his alpha, and I know that a ship raid is a fast and easy way to get them. Are any raids planned for the next week or two?

Thanks for your help!

I just sent in my request, so if you see a Laura, that's me!

Still trying to process the fact that CoH is going away. I knew it would happen someday, but I always thought there'd be more warning than this. I'm still shocked and saddened, and my kids are taking it hard, too. They're 14 and 18 now and started playing at 11 and 7, so CoH has been a big part of their lives. It just seems impossible that all the stories, all the characters, all the love and creativity people have poured into this game can just...disappear.

But I'm going to miss the Tanker forum most of all, my home away from home on the forums. There are so many great people and good friends here and on Tanker Tuesday that I'm going to miss terribly. You can be sure that I'll be at every TT I can manage until they shut the servers down.

I have two /Mace tanks, and I would NOT recommend dropping Shatter. It's got the second highest damage after Clobber, has a fairly wide and deep cone, and does very reliable KD. I'd skip Pulverize or even JB instead.

I suspect you're taking all the ST attacks to slot KCs for S/L defense, but IMO it's not worth it, the loss of AoE damage will be significant.

Yes, the Sutter was fun, and the Durays amazingly easy after being nuked. It was nice to be back--I've missed far too many TTs this summer!

Thanks to both of you for the explanation. I didn't realize that change was in the works for i24.

Looks good, overall. There are only a couple of things I'd recommend changing.

First, KoB isn't a good choice for a MotT set. You want something with much lower recharge so you have more chances for the resist proc to fire. I'd put it in Jab since you're not taking Punch.

Also, OwtS is overslotted, IMO, the HP bonus isn't worth spending three slots on and the extra resistance isn't that useful. I'd put the Steadfast +Def in the base slot and use the three free slots to add a slot each to Active Defense, Health, and Static Discharge. I'd slot another recharge in AD, (as it is, you'll lose most of your recharge bonuses if you exemp below 50) a Numina Heal in Health, and a fifth PB slot in SD to pick up the recharge bonus.

Other that that, I think you're good to go!
