  • It's still conceptually strange. Why would you need a hostile target to heal? Think of it this way: You cast a spell on someone, harmonizing with their Life Essence to heal yourself and those nearby. This spell is not harmful to the subject in any way. Yet for some reason you don't just cast it on a nearby ally, citizen,…
  • You know what these Archetype blogs need? A powers list. I mean sure, it's got flavor text, but why exactly would I want to play a Witch? Does a Witch have new powers, and if so what do they do? Why would a Silver purchase the Archetype, and why would a Gold roll one instead of going Freeform? Relegating this information…
  • Here's a wall-o-text from someone that decided to try Champions: My path to Champions came via STO, and I enjoyed my initial dive in. I kind of messed about with the low-levels, replayed the tutorial a few times to get a feel for the game, and eventually settled on a Radiant. I'd tried a Grimoire and it didn't perform…
  • Bummer. I've been mulling over something similar if/when I pick up a LTS or a Freeform slot, and building something like this seemed like a good way to further bump my healing. So, as an alternative, what about shifting Ego up to PSS? Assuming Crit Chance and Crit Severity apply to healing abilities, that could give an…
  • With Repupose and The Best Defense already in use, Force of Will would daisy chain to Offense and then to Bonus Healing... definitely sounds like a good adjustment.
  • Holy Water is described in-game as an AoE DoT/HoT; it seems a bit too recent to find the info anywhere else, but does that new Power trigger Rejuvinated and is it capable of crits?
  • Overall, I've enjoyed the Event and the mob of players hunting Colossi. It's pretty good, though the early TP disables were and knock/stun spam is a bit irritating on those occasions where nothing you do as a player can keep you alive. Still, I've worked out how to solo the Dailies if I must. I also like that the Colossi…
  • Is there some UI element that denotes range to your ally/teammates? I know STO has this feature (a game that, oddly, relies much less on team healing), and I've had a hard time on occasion figuring out where the hell some teammates have wandered off to in the more spread out Nightmare Event battles. I've taken to hovering…
  • Speaking as someone that decided to check out Champions Online, the game is fun. I am currently playing one of the Silver Archetypes to try things out, and I'm liking what I see thus far. There is a lot to do, and there are a lot of options for customization if I want to go that route. Personally, though, if I decide to…
  • Honestly, the biggest reason for the suggestion is that The Radiant is a Silver Archetype and has something you can build into for absolutely no benefit. There's a difference between offering a sub-optimal Archetype as a free sample and including build options that specifically do not work. I don't mean having a minimal…
  • Fair point; how about instead adding a Celestial Shield (maybe taking the Scutum Fidei for visual inspiration?) to round (triangle?) out the Celestial powerset, with one of the suggested Advantages? That would solve the incompatability issue for The Radiant and provide Freeform with a better variety of powers. Further, it…
