    This is correct. Set bonuses are actually just auto powers applied to the player, which are tagged to allow no more than 5 copies (in theory, individual set bonuses could be tailored to a different max -- in practice, none are, because that would just make things WAY too confusing). The power applied by actual set bonuses is [Huge Improved Recharge Time Bonus]. The last piece of the Luck of the Gambler set, however, grants the power [Luck of the Gambler: Recharge Speed]. Each of the two powers caps at 5, separately.
  2. But if the Cerberus model has 3 heads each serving as a henchman, then how do you explain only having 1 henchman at levels 1-5? They're not going to make a set that effectively gives you 3 henchment at level 1.

    There's also the problem of Bodyguard...
  3. A few of my favorites:

    I don't know if you've noticed but I've been trying a couple different styles of evil laugh. It's hard to pick the right one.

  4. The Conference of Eeeevil is a truly fun arc... but I don't really see any reason to turn it into a SF.

    Besides, you don't want to go inviting Nemesis to the party, do you?
  5. And what's the justification for levels 12-23 (only one lieutenant-level henchmen), for levels 6-18 (only two minion-level henchmen), and levels 1-5 (only one minion-level henchman)? Your minion and lieutenants are designed as a single creature with multiple heads, not multiple creatures.

    (Let's not even get into the problem of quadrupedal or multi-headed skeletons)

    Running all five 1-5 contacts, for instance, is going to be tricky. There are some non-arc non-badge Rikti missions that you can only get your first time through the game (Angus McWhatsizface maybe?) I'm sure there are others. Doc Science maybe?
    As I said, Ouroboros only applies if you don't care about non-arc missions.

    It says effect does not stack from same caster. I tried it long ago in the past and it didn't appear to.

    Edit: testing it this morning I got it to stack. Castle told me that that site was probably correct due to its source but I don't know if its been changed since that time.
    Pets_SonicDebuffArrow is a pet. When you cast the power, you're summoning a new pet, and the pet itself is the caster. If two pets overlap, they will stack, since the effect is from two different casters (two different pets).

    No, Red is saying ~4% increase when you're at the ED cap, and ~6% increase with no slotting whatsoever.
  9. Not currently possible if you count Praetoria. A Praetorian native can't run lv1-20 non-arc missions outside Praetoria, and a Primal native can't run Praetorian missions.

    If you don't count Praetorian and don't care about non-arc missions, it's very easy to do via Ouroboros.
  10. D: For some characters, 4% may mean the difference between soft-capped and not.
  11. I don't see a new favicon, there's no link to an alternate favicon in the page source and http://boards.cityofheroes.com/favicon.ico is the same as the old one.

    However, a favicon was certainly not the only thing changed, because my Greasemonkey script broke. I remove the "Forum Tools" dropdown and replace it with simply "Mark This Forum Read". Previously, it would mark the forum read and go up one level in the board hierarchy. After the forum maintenance, I would get an error saying I didn't have authorization for that action. After fixing my script to match the mark read link of the unmodified forum, it marks posts read without going up a level.

    (I also make the thread title link to the newest post, instead of forcing me to click on the tiny little arrow. That part of my script didn't break.)

    Your suggestion basically helps a min/maxer get around enhancement scaling due to exemplar. See "The Minor Bonus Threshold" in Exemplar Effects on Enhancements.

    And I was hoping the forum maintenance would have fixed it. I know the maintenance broke my Greasemonkey script. Had to sit around figuring out what was wrong, then fix it and re-upload it to userscripts.

    Entangling Arrow can bring down a flying target, too. Dark Miasma does not have any -fly.

    That's probably the worst way to make that guarantee.
  16. Golden Girl only has one character AFAIK. When Philotic Knight/Westley was here, he would create his Philotic Knight character, get to 50, and then delete the character and start over. I think he played on more than one server, so had multiple copies of PK, but it's basically a single character.

    Or Speed Boost, which provides speed debuff protection and a speed buff, so you can all but ignore the caltrops.

    If they were in fact told to destroy the CoH cards, then this would be the reason. You can buy NCSoft Time Cards which work for any NCSoft game.

    There are two versions, but you can only buy the correct version for you. I can't see anything that would prevent you from using it if you switched sides, but I haven't tested it.

    Currently going thru all my alts and giving them these binds;
    /bind button4, inspexec_name Respite
    /bind button5, powexec_name Fly
    I use this all the time. I usually bind button4 to a heal of some sort, button5 to a self-buff (eg, Build Up), and alt+button4 for my travel power. Different characters have different needs, of course.

    There's also more Ascendant stuff on Virtureverse (though it seems their server is having trouble at the moment...)

    Well, when the encounters were introduced, they were all (Hamidon, Hydra, and Titan enhancements) level 40. The devs just bumped the Hamidon encounter to 50 and never bothered with the Hydra or Titan.
