    Is that not slotting? LOL! Just in comparison to Warkupo's "I would totally slot those...." He didn't say he was slotting them into the powers

    (: So, this is coming between October - November ?

    Ah! Well, that changes things. Still though, moar phat lewt then Like good recipes.

    Ah, thanks Johnny_Butane!
    But that was in beta, and when it goes live people might treat it differently. Still though, even though ONE completion of a high level tf gets it unlocked, its not account-wide and people with multiple 50s will want to have it, so that means another TF. But, thats a positive thing because it helps you get moar merits.

    GRANITE ARMOR

    Make like an exo-skeleton or something, instead of turning into a giant rock why not use the effect of just stones forming completely around your body, not going over any powers just recoloring them to a Granite color.
    Do the first half of the Positron arc, fighting your clones you see they are like you but a shadowy-black. I'd like that, but instead a solid Granite color. Just cause you get bored of looking at a running mountain.

    I said I liked it Another_Fan, insane but in a good way. And yes, I run at +2/x8 when I feel like "a challenge" but still, even with the Alpha Slot along with my fully IOd Brute, I see this slightly overpowering.. but in a good way. But, that post was made before I had read the comment about only the first slot was an enhancement.
    And, yes I hope too that "incarnate abilities only usable in incarnate content" is true.

    Alpha Slot

    POST-ACTION

    Insane. I got a slight idea about "Alpha Slot" from a channel member last night, just that it was basically a choice of 4 to boost up some sections of your character. He also said that it was "confusing to explain" and I completely agree, it is slightly confusing but from reading the post that was linked, I got more of an understanding from it.

    I see now that yes, this makes you quite a bit stronger than people who don't have Going Rogue. When the Alpha Slot comes along, I sense that MANY MANY MANY "high level" task forces will be ran to obtain the slot. So, I look forward to this coming.

    But, 10 slots? If you were to slot in all 10, although only one would be available, 3 from Acc/Rech/Dam and a fourth for EndRdx, you almost nullify having to slot anything. Of course, it would be only 94.93% increase to those that are 3 slotted. But, if you were to slot, you could focus on all the "good sets" , not have to worry about what they do to you're power. To me, this seems insane. Just insane. But, I like it!

    edit: Just realized one of the posts above, if only the first slot is "enhancement-like" I guess my last little paragraph is faulty. Pet Summons sound sick! So making my bug-related toon run around with 2 Arachnos spider-types, like Disruptors and Blasters. Can't wait.

    Traveling?

    POST-ACTION

    Assuming you have not purchased the OPTIONAL Martial Arts booster package and DO NOT have Ninja Run, I would say this:

    Do you want added defense from running combat jumping from the Super Jump pool?
    or
    Would you like a 2 minute long boost of 70% global recharge from Hasten, out of the Super Speed pool?

    I myself vote you to go Super Jump for your Hit-Girl inspired toon, just because it doesn't make you glow an ugly orange color in use.
  8. War-Nugget
    I want to say Blaster's Devices Gun Drone . But then on further thinking, you can still attack while the gun drone is summoned and that a holdable chain-gun would not work.
    But on a second though, why not have the character place a mounted gun instead of a floating one? Its just an idea I'd like to mention..
  9. War-Nugget
    Crane Kick and Cobra Strike are practically the same power. Both have the same DPA at 50, just Crane Kick is knockback and Cobra Strike is stun. So really it just depends what you like better. (I myself like my enemies stunned, but kicking an enemy off a building is fun xD )
    For the build, I'll just let someone else say for that..
  10. War-Nugget
    Out of curiosity..

    was there anything said about updating ALL the regular hair in this game? I avoid having my male toons with hair, its like a hunk of plastic on their heads. Females, same story, but the Resistance hair is pretty cool

    Now you're being silly. You're aloud to be displeased , nobody is saying you can't. Just, complaining about getting free things? Its something, would you rather have nothing ?

    Ninja Run is completely optional. You purchase it for $10, in a booster pack. So, being optional .. who cares if you invalidate it ?

    I like everything that is going to come . Makes me want to play my 50s more now , other than you know.. boring ITFs/LGTFs...
    "New" inherents, frees of 3 slots on all of my characters. On those characters, I always slot Stamina .. I better still beable to do so.
    3 extra pool picks on my already softcapped Stone/Stone brute .. looks like I'll be pushing power picks back and picking up an APP, more recovery never hurts!

  16. War-Nugget
    Yeah Lyger, is true .. but it was just a build I quickly threw together to see if it would "work". OP can decide what he's doing, I just picked up stuff I myself would want . (:
  17. War-Nugget
    Probably been said numerous times by now....

    Teleport: no more Y-shaped arms over head , maybe the smoke teleport that Belladonna has ? Or even the techy-sort that Maelstrom uses when he ports out of missions ?
    Granite Armor: Yes I know its sort of against game-lore , but having it colorable or even have an alternate version of it like the Quarts or even like the Igneus enemy group. You still transform into a rock, and it makes it so you can have a "Lava" Granite armor , and a "Crystal" Granite armor.
  18. War-Nugget
    I'm not exactly a numbers kind of guy, but I'll just explain what I'm currently thinking...

    Granite Armor is one of the better aspects of Stone Armor , 37.5% resistance to all (but psionic) , and 15% defence to all (but psionic) all for only .26 end/s . It also has the negatives, to recharge/movement/damage.

    From reading what you wish to do.. you want to take Granite but only use it when you need it, like a T9 "Oh no!" power. And be softcapped to Smashing/Lethal without running Granite . This may work, it just WILL be expensive to pull off.

    You want to take the flying travel pool, and not teleport . You won't be using Hover because rooted would cancel it out. So, that leaves you taking Air Superiority , which is not a bad attack. If you're not taking rooted , then you may run into the problem of being constantly mezzed .. and lose out on 100% regeneration . So, open Mids and just mess around abit and see what you can come up with

    Added: Made this build, to my liking, capped to Smashing/Lethal , have attacks slotted well, skipped Granite in favor of more endurance recovery. All the kinetic combats I used will be costly to get though.. also, it doesn't have much recharge but I got Earth Embrace down to a 38 second downtime , 471% regeneration, 198% recovery and 10.2 movespeed with rooted running , but you don't care much for that (:

    Softcap is any defense at 45%, making the enemy have only a 5% chance of hitting you.

    So if you were to get that last 4% defense, you would be at the softcap for that defense.
  20. War-Nugget
    Sweet! Got Friday off too! What a good, Good Friday
  21. War-Nugget

    Wow...

    POST-ACTION

    I wonder if there is going to be an outburst of Spawn look a-likes now ?

    But really, this set is awesome. Themed pets, elemental-goodness, awesome! Makes me want to roll a MM now.. although I did hate Thugs.. maybe Demons will make me like them ^^
  22. War-Nugget
    Shield is a good defense set, easy to softcap to melee (45%). Now with the nerf of Bless of the Zephyr, it is a tad bit harder to soft cap Range/AoE defense.

    Shield goes well with other sets, such as Electric Melee. Although Shield is also Endurance Heavy. The drainage from ELM will help with that Also, the fact that you will have many AoEs it does have nice synergy.

    So, I'd say Brute or Scrapper

    - Then again that takes work, and as said above : A MM can solo quite easily.

    Anyways, Welcome Back To CoH/V !!

    Okay, reworked Hasten into the build. Now have most of the sets, and even softcapped Fire/Cold with the extra slots I had left over. Thanks all for help, suggestions. Sorry about only posting the chunk, the powers wouldnt appear properly <,<
  24. War-Nugget
    :: points to above post ::

    Same thing on War-Shades .. the inherrent Teleport power is being overwritten with Ninja Run at level 4+.
  25. War-Nugget
    Yes.. first time I have ever won anything!
    But it is conflicting, a "supersonic" Maelstone? Amusing none the less.

    Thanks for running this event P.E.R.C!!
