    If this MMO closed down tomorrow I'd play til the very last second. Then after that I'd move on to another MMO. Hopefully that MMO is CoH2.

    I'd also send a PM to the developers to thank them for all they've done to keep me here this long, as well as various folks in the community.

    That's hawt.

    Bought it! Made my chimera character. For now he's a Fire/Electric Blaster. For the APP I will choose another elemental power.

    I'm happy to hear that my decision to go with Acrobatics on my build is worthwhile.

    I could probably switch Tactics over to Assault too, considering the dud-of-an-idea for getting Status Resists on this build. But then again, Tactics does give Perception. I guess that is nice to have, but not particularly worthwhile in PvE and I'd wager that a full team getting a Damage buff outweighs one getting ToHit and Perception.

    With Assault toggled on the Endurance Recovery is okay. I'd like to have Conserve Power in the mix if I keep that power on, but I can just as easily use a blue Inspiration every 5 minutes or so.

    It wasn't until a half a year or so ago that I even began using Enzymes! Now it feels natural to put em' into my higher end builds. Hahah.

    Thanks for the further elaborations! I also realized the pitiful amount of Smashing/Lethal Resist I get from Tough is not really going to make a difference, so I can actually turn that off and my Endurance Recovery goes back to awesome, even with Acrobatics on. Woot!

    Thanks Obitus! Didn't quite understand how Status Resists worked. I guess I can put those slots towards other things.
  19. bAss_ackwards
    How useful are Status Resists for Blasters? With ~81% Hold/Sleep Resist and Defiance, would I be able to mostly shrug off holds in PvE? I am also wondering if any toggles are supplying the Status Resists if those benefits get shut off while Held/Slept?

    This is the build I am currently at with my Dual Pistols/Energy Manipulation Blaster, Infinite Ammo:

    I'm hoping that the Status Resists along with good Defense will make the character fairly sturdy. Vengeance is pretty much on perma if others die before me as well.

    If I needed Confuse/Fear Resists I could also turn on Tactics, which would put me at ~75% for those two. Thanks in advance for any input.

    Just teasing.

    I bet a bunch of folks are still posting about how the forum is still bugged, but as for me? I gave up a while ago. Being logged out still happens to me sometimes but not as frequently as before, so some sort of work must have been done to help with the problem. Just not enough.

    What Alpha power are you going to be going after?

    I chose Spiritual to go along with the high Recharge build I have in mind. That allows the build to get within 2 seconds of perma-Energize, which affords some incredible Regeneration and Endurance Reduction. Single target chain would probably be something like Chain Induction>Charged Brawl>Havoc Punch>Charged Brawl repeat.
