Thanks man :OO, i'm likin how much HP and regen it's got, and the max end and recovery.

My brute has aleady taken mace mastery, so is it ok if i swap gloom and dark obliteration for mace blast and disruptor blast? also can you give me an idea on how much this is gonna cost so i know the amount of inf im gonna need ;p

thanks man it's appreciated, hopefully i'll do alot better with this than my own bad creation xO

ooh thanks man, i checked it out in mids and it certainly is an improvement on my build, especially with the 65% recharge bonus :OOOO

alright now to work on the funds im gonna need, anyone can give an estimate of the price it'd take to build this?

and yeah, i prefer recharge over def anyday.

Hi reposting in a better section

hi, i've got this NRG/WP brute build, and i'm looking to expand it by HUGE proportions, i'm not in a very good position to decide what a good build is, so i'd like some advice, or even better someone to improve on my build for me.

I'd like for it to use alot of the unique set enchancements, and ONLY sets, no IO's because i wanna spend alot of infamy on this, and i plan to work at it for ages too.

SO i'd appreciate it if people could help me decide to put what where, doesn't matter how crazy or expensive the build is, so the sky's the limit really, i'm looking to spend 900kk infamy on this around.

Here's my build, probably sucks but hey.

So yeah thanks again and help is appreciated in advance

hi, i've got this NRG/WP brute build, and i'm looking to expand it by HUGE proportions, i'm not in a very good position to decide what a good build is, so i'd like some advice, or even better someone to improve on my build for me.

I'd like for it to use alot of the unique set enchancements, and ONLY sets, no IO's because i wanna spend alot of infamy on this, and i plan to work at it for ages too.

SO i'd appreciate it if people could help me decide to put what where, doesn't matter how crazy or expensive the build is, so the sky's the limit really, i'm looking to spend 900kk infamy on this around.

Here's my build, probably sucks but hey.

So yeah thanks again and help is appreciated in advance

"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes Test Server\CovUpdater.EU.exe" -test


that's ok right?

The only thing i can think of is i didn't name the test folder what it tells ya to, i called mine city of heroes test.

Should i try renaming it to CohTest then

Hi, i tried that, and now it says 'unable to find updater' when i click the shortcut i made. The Covupdater.eu.exe is still on my desktop also.

I dloaded 2.6GB worth of COH, and i logged into my villain, changed my resolution and gfx settings, logged out while being attacked by 3 rikti, then when i wanted to reopen the game, the game updater started dloading another 2.6GB

I'm installing from my COV collectors disc that i bought about 1 year and 6 months ago, and am downloading 900Mb worth of updates, so i think my prob was solved, but im just wanting to know what caused that. I mean i don't want it to happen again

This is supposedly a roxxor build which my friend sent to me, i wanna know if it can be improved upon, and what people think of it...and how much it will cost :&lt;

Hami-Os are the tastiest cereal around.

I don't care about stalkers, i agree to banes being buffed though, good going on everything else too.

O.o

Stalkobot u rock, that's really quite true. Great point. Expect to see banes buffed, w00p.

Oh and playing on test only spoiled it for yourselves,


[/ QUOTE ]

No it didn't i waited a long time for the open beta so i could play banes, and i thoroughly enjoyed them, now i'm making one on live servers.

I never said they were broken, just underperform compared to the others, and i have a 32 bane on test, and i like it very much ^^.

I play mainly for pve, i don't want to play a build that reaaaaally struggles on relentless, gets me killed lots, and is gonna stress me out and make me throw my pc out the window.

Luckily it can't fit out of it, because if it did, it would have gone a LOOOOONG time ago xD

And i only team until i get to 50, so i don't care about helping/shining/supporting in a team. At 50 i like to solo and bask in my own strength clearing missions in no time.

It may be a bad yardstick to some, but it's the only thing i analyse before i make a new character. Yes i may be missing out on lots of content, hell i've never played stalkers or defenders, so yeah i guess i am.

I just think to myself 'how good is this build gonna be at soloing and killing things'

So can anyone improve on this, and tell me how much it'll cost to slot it exactly? I know we're looking in the hundreds of millions here

Actually, banes underperform compared to VEATs, and if they are OP, it's rightfully so because EAT's are meant to be strong, well look at HEATs, lol.

And by rebalancing, u mean nerfing. WHy should the other 3 VEATs suffer because the devs made 1 of them substandard. Better to fix banes and bring them in line with the rest than make all 3 of them worse and destroy the fun for those who play them.

I don't care about other AT's at the moment, and if a certain AT/combo of powersets can't solo on relentless, i won't play it simply because i don't want to have to play an AT that struggles greatly on relenetless.

I don't need another reason to get stressed out, that's why i love the ownage of my nrg/wp brute. Builds that can't solo on relentless are by NO means 'broken' and i'm not saying they are. I'm not saying banes are broken either. I'm just saying if a build is good it can solo on relentles.

Granted if someone took the WORST possible AT and worse possible buid for it, but slotted it really well and achieved the potential it could, good going on them.

But i want to have a powerful char.

EAT's not being able to solo on relentless is just bad design on the dev's part.

You shouldn't need to overload on inspis or use them at all to solo on relentless. They should be able to just kill

[ QUOTE ]
I do see your point but its very resricted

1st personally I've always seen brutes at there most basic as some one who likes to fight they don't shy away from it they don't stand at range and shoot or send others to do there work there in your face types this doesnt mean they take every hit tho. maybe they can see 5 seconds into the future and so can avoid incoming blows but the ability also stimulates certain portions of there brain meaning the more they use there ability the madder they get (yes im using that as my back story) what im saying is just cause your a brute dosent mean you need to/want to get hit

2nd its not the giving and tacking damage that builds fury but the tacking and giving of attacks weather they hit or not so it doesn't matter weather every hit your foe throws at you fury still builds

[/ QUOTE ]

Having enemies attack you and and attacking them is what builds fury, and brutes are the villainous tanks. So to speak.

What's fire melee best with on a brute? in terms of survivability and complimenting the inevitably mahoosive damage i will be doing. ^^

i have a level 32 on test, respec'd into a crab to see what is was like, they have l0rd recl00se's ubar frenzy strike thing, great effects!

Natural, i see more as someone who is SO naturally talented at fighting, someone who works SO hard, they can compare to villains without super powers. Jet li or Jackie chan for example, i bet they could just karate chop hamidon into sub atomic particles.

Well be my hero (villain ) and find that perfect playstyle! Right now, i don't think even the devs know what we're supposed to do with Banes.
