And there's a lot of psi damage flying around in the 40s (I know, it's the same problem for most shields).

[/ QUOTE ]Psi clockwork, some carnies, some praetorians....Not that much, IMO.

[ QUOTE ]
Is Consume slotted intelligently?

[/ QUOTE ]Might want one EndMod in there.
[ QUOTE ]
Given the choice between Fiery Embrace and Build Up, Fiery Embrace is better right?

[/ QUOTE ]For anything but /fire, BU wins by far.

[ QUOTE ]

your fun may not be others idea of fun.

[/ QUOTE ]Which is exactly why I put that YMMV there

I'd recommend not taking FF with any set other than energy blast.

[/ QUOTE ]

ermmkaaay......??

[/ QUOTE ]Energy blast is the ONLY powerset that has enough synergy with FF to make a character with FF fun, IMO. YMMV, of course.

AoE is king in PvE, so Spines/(Regen/DA) are by far the best choices.

I'd recommend not taking FF with any set other than energy blast.

Looks solid, although I'd try to throw few heal SO's in AP and get it earlier. Oh, and definitely get Temp Invul at 49 (slot with DamRes)

/macro DN "Say Please Don't attack $target, he's the anchor for darkest night, and attacking him will highly increase your risk of dying$$Powexec_name Darkest Night"

That will create a macro button labeled DN which will apply the power and say the text. If you want a bind instead, replace "/macro DN" with "/bind <key>"

[ QUOTE ]
just a quick one.. you might want to swap those recharge reducers in Focused accuracy for End Reducers

[/ QUOTE ]
Really? Focused Accuracy wont recharge quick enough to warrent EndRdx slotting and it only has a 0.59 endurance cost.

Any other opinions on this?

[/ QUOTE ]It's a TOGGLE

[ QUOTE ]
Change the thread title to Rad/thermal perhaps?

[/ QUOTE ]Gah, teaches me to not make threads before waking up

Mainly intended for duoing with a /fire brute in PvE. Any critique/pointers/suggestions?

Tar Patch - While very useful I left this power out myself until around the 40s. It does provide a nice -RES and SLOW on enemies, but with the amount of useful powers in the dark miasma set, along with the essential pool powers and 2 attacks I found it was the one I could wait for longest.

There are various Epic powers that will enhance your mez protection

[/ QUOTE ]For defenders? Name one.

Bosses into a dispersion bubble first to be dealt with later.

With my involvement ingame becoming less and less, I've decided to pass on promotions to more active CoH players in the SG, namely MaXimillion and SchrodingersCat. They've both put in a lot of time and effort in not only earning prestige and doing good work for the SG, but also have been prolific members within the CoH community.

Thank you and congratulations to you both.

[/ QUOTE ]Yay us!
[ QUOTE ]
...teaming up with MaXimillion for the first time through our old ally, Ekallo.

[/ QUOTE ]That's how it happened? Bah, don't remember the whole thing, but I'm sure I can find it somewhere in my few hundred chatlog files

[ QUOTE ]

Urm, no. My mind-controller's sleep will over-ride the hold.

[/ QUOTE ]It won't. I can recall several cases where I have had a mob both held and slept, or have myself been both.

[ QUOTE ]
And 87.351% of all statistics are made up MaX

[/ QUOTE ]Exactly, but 67% of them are still close to the real numbers

[ QUOTE ]

This depends if you want to hit the major defence sets or not...

[/ QUOTE ]Did you miss the part in the title where it says PvE?

I'd drop both, and get an useful pool power...

[ QUOTE ]
So smoke, TA, GW PPP all have an acc debuff about 5%.
In which case they all suck and is only useful for looking cool.
Or we the player have missed something when it comes on how accuracy work in game and those measly 5% actully does a huge difference.


[/ QUOTE ]5% does make a difference, when stacked with other -ToHit or +Def

[ QUOTE ]

I would lose Health and put in Swift... this will maximise movement. Health is pointless with 1 heal in it, it's only effective with 3 heal and thats debatable.

[/ QUOTE ]With one heal, it's at 133% effectiviness, with 3 it's 195%, not that big difference considering the value. It's mainly a downtime reducer.

[ QUOTE ]
Personally, i'd only go for 2 holds and lose Shocking Grasp for Thurder Strike as it does a lot of damage.

[/ QUOTE ]Both are exelent powers, ne should definitely get them both.

[ QUOTE ]
Build up and Aim really need at least 1 Total Hit Buff.

[/ QUOTE ]No they don't, not for PvE.

[ QUOTE ]
If you're struggling for slots like I do on my Elec / Elec / Elec build losing the 3rd damage on some of the weaker powers is ok.

[/ QUOTE ]Losing 3rd damage? When damage is your primary purpose? There is no way you have so few slots that that's justified.

[ QUOTE ]

41) --&gt; Focused Accuracy==&gt; TH_Buf(41) TH_Buf(42) TH_Buf(42) EndRdx(43)

[/ QUOTE ]You need AT LEAST two EndRdx in FA, preferably three.

[ QUOTE ]
Any low level AT team on relentless is going to face plant.

[/ QUOTE ]Not necessarily, it can be done. However, 1st and 2nd reputation level are the most efficient for 95% of teams.

[ QUOTE ]

Flurry happens to have the highest damage of the power pool attacks available.

[/ QUOTE ]DPS or damage per power use?

[ QUOTE ]

I thought I'd still keep the ACC SO, just in case :P

Oh and btw, it's mostly for PvE.

[/ QUOTE ]For PvP, drop the ACC slots in your powers, you REALLY don't need them.
Smoke grenade is Auto-hit for PvE.
Munitions mastery but no LRM? Come on, it's a friggen AoE snipe.
Drop two powers (stunning shot? Hover? Auto turret? Smoke grenade?), and get your both AoE's.
I STRONGLY recommend superspeed, you'll want SS+cloak to lay trip mines unnoticed.
6 slot trip mines, and give them recharge.
