I have no trouble ordering my zombies into close range. However, they are all too happy to spam gloom at into mobs faces at least half the time rather than use their melee attacks.

Thanks for the reply though!

Remove the ranged attacks from the grave knights. All of a sudden actual DPS goes a ways towards catching up and MM frustration at watching Ghouls dressed in armor and wielding huge swords standing back sniping goes to zero. I don't mind watching my lich spam gloom but it makes me want to smack those grave knights. What do you guys think? Bad idea? Is this old news?

I have no concerns about Scrappers. Or blasters. They have entered what appears to be a steady cycle of buffing ATs and powersets and introducing newer, stronger powersets that is resulting in the basic content becoming ever more trivial.

One of my biggest concerns is power creep and what it means for the long-term health of this game.

i would buy it and smile. if it takes my money to get them working on this rather than leprechauns so be it.

Amanda Vines!




I never get tired of rescuing this brave little reporter.

thanks for the replies. I've been leaning pretty heavily on my blackwand and sands of mu - i keep meaning to pick up gloom but there always seems to be something else i want...

im just getting into range of ancillary power pools now - is there any that really shine with necro? i really want to pick up leviathan for the vomiting power but it seems like soul, mu and field are a little better.

So I am finally trying another mastermind (zombies/dark) since my 1st around the time COV came out. I ran into my first KOA mission at +4/+1 and got completely hosed as my pets completely refused to do anything useful if there were caltrops on the ground.
Is there a strategy I can use against this group besides visiting the fateweaver or picking up group fly? Longbow are challenging but beatable if I plan and pay attention, KOA just seem to walk all over me no matter what

I agree that the duration of this debuff is silly. I am just getting back into leveling my dominator and I have tonight off but have to go back to work tomorrow. I thought it might be fun to check out the new holiday content but I ended up botching the ritual. I don't know who the people are whose endurance management is so awesome that -20% end and -20% recovery doesn't hurt them but I am not one of them.

This debuff sort of spoiled my COH fun for the weekend as by the time it wears off I will be at work. I read all the text for the mission and was careful not to release the last breath until the end but I still ended up botching it. It's just kind of lame.

/End whining.

I sincerely hope it's Synapse so we can replace his task force. I never want to run that again. ever.
But I have to if I want those precious extra hp...

I don't know, seems to leave plenty of room for one of the thousands of player-created heroes to come in and save the day. I like it.

it says right there in the EULA that you are not allowed to be disappointed about any extended downtime or lack of ability to play the game so that people who don't pay to play the game can play the game.

I can't believe you didn't read that part.

I couldn't agree with this more. I would pay $20 (or tokens or whatever) for an inherent 'drag hostage by hair' or 'sling hostage over shoulder' power.

I'm sure you know this already but just in case: there is a stealth proc for flight powers (freebird +stealth) that can be slotted directly into hover - does the same thing as the jumping one but for an even lower end cost if you're using hover anyway. That would also free up a power choice.

The powers aren't quite as good as the dominator or controller versions as there is no domination, containment or chance for overpower. That said the ST hold and AOE sleep are still solid picks and can absolutely complement any build and help you with targets you would otherwise have trouble with. They really shine when soloing.

The PBAOE confuse is Terribad. Even purpled with the contagious confusion proc it provides minimal reliable mitigation with a high end cost, an ugly aura and a small radius. Feel free to try it for yourself though.

So I've been spending a lot of time looking at the login screen with the downtime this morning and I'm wondering if I should recognize more than two heroes in this image.

You guys recognize any of the other heroes in this picture? I'd love to see one or two more of them in game...
