Lightslinger

This all seems very convoluted for what should be a very simple transaction, why is that?

WOOT, East Coast win!

Again and again this dev team proves they pay the closest attention to their playerbase, thanks for your awesomeness.

"pre-payment" whaaa??

Also, now is an AMAZING time for CoH to release something, anything to take advantage of the "situation" our friends across the way are in.

Thanks for heading this up Pirate, I'll do what I can to help out in the conversion. I've also started broadcasting about Virtue TFs in Steel and Atlas to let more people know about this resource. Virtue TFs is definitely one of the best tools Virtue-ites...Virtueans, people on Virtue have for joining / forming TFs.

Love the update, very cool background that casts Tyrant in a morally grey/heroic light.

I have a problem however.

Tyrant looks amazing. That costume, the armor, the colors, everything about it is very, very well designed. In contrast, Statesman looks like a bad version of a Captain America cosplay. Seriously, most of the Freedom Phalanx needs a redesign NAO.

That screenshot...wow.

Yeah, the glowie tech costume pieces are amazing, but look at the tunnel, the lightning, the details, WOW. I assume that's Ultra Mode? Because I didn't think CoH could look that good.

I have a WM/Shield Brute at level 5, name is Warslinger. I've considered re-rolling him into another secondary. WM/SR would be a lot of fun and near invincible in the higher levels. WM/Dark to go exotic and different, I have a concept in mind for a "storm armor" character and I was thinking recolored DA would work.

So, any experience with WM/SR or WM/DA?

some graphs:







Wait, what about defense?

Wasn't something about "universal slots" mentioned in the marketing survey? I'd taken it as level 50s would do something to unlock enhancement slots that enhance the overall character as opposed to a single power.

Sallularuu!

Logged on Freedom just to see how things were going there...

...

anyone have some eye bleach?

Darn you DBServer, darn you to heck!

Thanks for the advice everyone and big thanks to Smeg for the build, I've got it imported into Mid's and getting ready in-game to respec into it or something extremely similar.

Agreed, I would love to work some AoE defense in, but considering how hard a time I was having getting to the Ranged soft cap I thought it was futile to attempt both.

However, the more Ranged AND AoE the better!

Hey all, I'm revisiting my main Lightslinger's build and I'd like to focus on getting him to the Ranged Defense soft cap. I'm a complete newb with Mids and Set IO knowledge in general, so any help would be very, very appreciated.

Here's a list of the powers LS has right now, I like how he plays with these powers and would like to stick to them if possible. However, if you have a recommendation for a different power/set up that would aid in reaching the Ranged soft-cap I would love to hear it.

Thanks in advance!

My guess is things will stay mostly the same. Teams will sometimes look for aggro management, DPS, control and buff/debuff. They'll most likely pick whatever fits that role closest and not nitpick too much, there will be exceptions but rarely.

I like Scrappers better because I found managing Fury bothersome, however some enjoy the Fury mechanic. Rejoice the cosmos are still in balance!

Paragon Studios;

Thanks so much for the gift! So far I've transferred 3 characters who hadn't been played in hundreds of days. This has completely rejuvenated these characters and has made them fun to play again!

I'm sure this is taking up a lot of server processing and having them be free for such a long period has to eat into the profits a little bit, but I really appreciate the effort you all have put into this game.

I have a level 33 Broadsword/Elec and its a lot of fun, except for the fact that Lightning Field is causing a LOT of running, very annoying.

Shield/Elec Tanker sounds like it could be a lot of fun and fits the name exceptionally well. I'm fairly certain that Lightning Rod only works while on the ground, not sure about Shield Charge. I would probably get tired of seeing wings constantly flapping if I was perma-hovering as a Tanker anyway.

My latest Power Customisation experiment is Everlight, a cosmic powered Rad/Rad Corruptor. Pretty much every power is a different color. All using the Bright graphics with the primary color being a heavy blue for example, the secondary color is the lightest blue from that line.

The only powers that are the same are my three anchor debuff powers, they're all colored Red/Red, when I'm on PuGs I'll say "Red means stop, kill them last", which works pretty well actually.

I was lucky enough to snag the awesome name Blitzhawk on Virtue, however I have yet to have a concept gel together well enough to keep a character going. So far I've tried a Kin/Elec Defender and Corruptor, did not enjoy either of those combos.

I've come to the forum mages to ask a question, what AT and Power sets does the name Blitzhawk evoke to you? Once I have the AT and powers down I can start work on a concept, hopefully one that will stick this time around.
