Even though that quote was a coverup of the real reason we weren't getting Clown Summoning: Positron is coulrophobic, or afraid of clowns. -
Scrappers live by Ozymandias' philosophy: "Kill millions to save billions"

Sure, if we all went Bots/Traps, hah.

3 mins average is what it takes me on my MM
GMs are about 8-10mins, yes. -
I really hope the set includes alternative 'plain' animations that don't look so "we-tried-way-too-hard-to-make-it-flashy"
Sometimes a gunslinger is just a guy who pulls the trigger, not an enthusiastic ballerina -
Dark/Traps is a build that I'll always like but never roll it myself. Theoretically it has enough survivability to *SAFELY* solo multiple AVs simultaneously. Maybe not as fast as a Fire/Traps but definitely safer

Quote:Roll a MastermindOriginally Posted by Two Listen
Figures. I've got this personal thing, I can't stand playing a class I'm going to see a lot of. I, however, enjoy both PvE and PvP play. ...well son of a crap. What to do now, I wonder. It's not to say I'm looking for a class I'll NEVER see again. That's impossible. I just enjoy playing what isn't played often. Archetype/powerset.
New question, if the wonderful CoH community feels inclined to answer:
With Doms/Stalkers being somewhat of a rarity in PvE, but apparently very common in PvP. What then, would be uncommon powersets?
I've also considered simply running Corr, in hopes of not showing up too often in PvE or PvP.
My brain has aches. -
Dominator and Stalker sounds about right
-
For a farming brute I'd recomend Elec/Shield or SS/Elec.
Super Strength may be all smashing damage, but it's still one of the most effective primaries for brutes, for for ST AND AoE. Lightning Field is an excelent damage aura and Lightning Reflexes will help Foot Stomp (and your patron AoE) recharge faster, not to mention you'll have infinite endurance with Power Sink and Energize -
Any primary with /Traps, /Therm and /Dark is good for soloing AVs. Just be sure to take Hover if you go with melee henchmen
Robotics primary with Storm, Poison or TA secondary can range from barely ok to decent
Everything else is bleh (IMO) -
Update: I moved the site to http://sites.google.com/site/silveratus/ since apparently geololcities it shutting down.
Enjoy! -
Big models also cause increased server lag iirc

2. You tried to solo a +2 AV. Nobody does that.
-
Branching does come in kinda late in a VEATs career, and building the second (dual) build to 23 then starting over is indeed kind of annoying. Neither of these are game breaking and both of them I can live with, the latter (dual build issue) might be either engine limitation or dev oversight that might be fixed in the future as a QoL change
-
DM/Nin, usually run at x8 (even con) but capable of doing +4/x8
Edit: DM/Nin? I meant DM/SD, darn DM being so good and my stalker being so similar to my scrapper -
+1/x8 on Fire/Traps, could go higher but I'm comfortable with that setting

I stopped here, because it is not necessary to set Rage to auto, and can even be detrimental. Firing Rage more often will let you stack Rage, but it will also lead to more frequent Rage crashes. It is also extremely noticeable when Rage crashes, especially if you monitor your damage bonus: a big red -9999% is hard to miss. I have always activated Rage manually, and recommend that you try doing the same.

There are other examples, too. Kismet uniques slotted in Invincibility end up giving a buff that scales with mob level, which isn't nearly as useful as users probably hope for.

Best ST chain post 41 (with elec mastery) is Shriek - Scream - Shriek - Electric Fence
-
What I like about electric armor is that since you have an endless supply, you can go all out slotting obliterations (for both +rech and +melee_def) and just shrug as the miniscule end redux bonus the set gives
-
Good thing about Black Swan is you can actually use her minions to fuel SD/AAO, since they are resistant to neg and will likely last through the whole fight
-
Also in Point X-Ray, the last island before reaching the Cascade Archipielago entrance
-
New players likely played other games before, so there's that.
Playstyle in other games usually translates into this game one way or another. People who enjoy DD classes will always enjoy DD classes, people who like support will always like support etc -
Kin/Rad defender sounds like a pretty good AoE combo. Not Archery good, but good nonetheless

Speaking of ATs in a generalized way, where: Useful = effective in normative play (4+-man door teams):
De/buff sets and AoE Damage-intensive sets are tied for first place. Control and single-target damage are tied for third place, and self-defense sets come in dead last. The blueside initial ATs from most useful to least are:
1. Defenders
2. Blasters
3. Controllers
4. Scrappers
5. Tankers
Based on the principles you stated, I'd put Controllers and Defenders on the first 2 spots (Controller first, as they have both good AoE damage and buff/debuff). Then I'd put Tanker and Blasters on the 3th and 4th spot (which would be up to debate, since Tankers fill both the role of aggro control/management and are also able to put out some respectable AoE damage, but not as much as Blasters)
