    Absolutely.

    Mind/fire is also an extremely solid solo choice. Go with whichever you prefer

    Same here. I was just starting to get serious about it, doing arena stuff several times a week. And then BAM!
  3. I believe that the raids give 10 regardless of whether you have done the intro arc, but am not positive.
  4. Dear devs, stuff is -1 again on TFs. Sincerely, Kahlan.

    Out of curiosity, what happened when BS died? Did the mission fail?

    I don't agree

    My cold corr has soft cap plus 60 recharge.
  7. Although general enemies were spawning at 49, the freedom phalanx in the LRSF were still 53. I do hope they fix this though.

    Yes, some villains will skip town, but heroes will cross over too. And there are a LOT more heroes than villains.

    I remember when giving everybody access to both factions was supposed to "kill" red side...this is the same deal.
    I meant in a different manner. I'm curious whether the ability to cross back and forth (though requiring effort) will affect prices/activity on either market. I guess it depends how much effort is involved.
  9. I'm not an AE person, but I do remember playing this arc when it came out and loving it. A real gem.

    Yes, sadly. It will be interesting to see what effect GR has.

    Fire/Sonic

    It's a super powerful combo, but very end heavy. So I'd recommend building for some +end/+recovery or some good endurance reduction. After that, probably recharge and HP.

    1) Change Vigilance so that your health affects the bonus.

    3) Make lower team health have the +Damage slowly disappear while you recieve either
    a. An Endurance discount or...
    b. A secondary effect bonus (IE buff and debuff numbers).

    This would serve mulitple purposes.
    1) Defenders would become better soloers.
    2) Those new to Defenders would understand their role a bit more. (IE Defend the team at all costs, once the team is doing well, blast your heart out.)
    3) It would make defenders more desirable late game when teams are generally tougher and Controllers pull ahead in the damage department.

    I probably wouldn't bother with the +res one on SR. 3 percent isn't worth it unless you are invuln or something.
  14. 2 can do it easily.

    1 it is extremely difficult, mainly because when you recast, he will attack you for a second or two (even assuming you're perma), which is all he needs. The only time I've done it successfully with 1, we popped lots of purples during the recast.
  15. With my brute at 45, Fiery Embrace has definitely been helpful.

    I'm dreading taking it on an LRSF for the accolade badge though. You guys are gonna have to carry me lol.

    This is a summery of what I was thinking.

    Mind/Cold - This seems like an amazing match. I have a lot experience with Mind control. That experience though is as a dominator. I'm worried about Mind not living up to my memories of what it can do under Domination. also both mind and cold have few powers that can be skipped. Makng little room for power pools. This really does seem fun and potent.

    Illu/Cold - This one has potential. I have quite a few illusion controllers. I'm not sure what would be the true selling points here.

    Ice/Cold - Probably the most common for thematic reasons. It has a lot going for it though. Really nice and constant soft aoe control. Horrible damage.

    Earth/Cold - Same as ice really but a bit more hard control from range.

    Grav/Cold - Where mind was a set i played and loved as a Dom this was a set I hated. The final 2 powers are nice though. I might be willng to try it again as a troller.

    Plant and Fire - Almost 0 experience with these. Plant has some very promising potential though. I never liked anything that was fire elemental but maybe I should give it a chance.
    Cold will go well with pretty much anything. I might avoid the sets that rely heavily on an aoe immobilize, as it would negate the knockdown effect of sleet.

    Yeah wasn't the money for me either, it was the distance. I hate planes/airports

  19. Man I'm so jealous of the hero con people. Looks like lots of fun was had

    Yep, I have to agree.

    Luckily the implication is that these settings will return eventually, so I'm waiting patiently

    I'd love to see the time if you have it, as this doesn't match what I have heard from them. To my knowledge this is the fastest.

    I only ask because if I see there's something to beat I can work towards beating it

    Also in response to this: It can be done in about 10-20 minutes with a good build. Lusca takes longer though obviously.

    which perked my interest, some been mentioning on whether its possible to solo or duo an ITF or worse, an STF. Gonna look into doing a mITF someday, a mKTF or mSTF after that
    solo mITF:

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=191410

    STF is possible duo (and has been done). I don't think it is possible solo, but would love to be proved wrong.
