Hi Flowcyto! And a big THANK YOU for all of examples and explanations.
-
Aesica: My thanks as well! And I feel like a heel for not saying how much I enjoy/love having an up to date character builder. I had just gotten into the habit of "lurking" on the forums every where nowadays that something as simple as THANK YOU seemed to be unnatural. I'm retired now (medical issues) but I used to be a…

Just spent my early morning/end of day trying out the "new" power armor. My original power armor/ranged & power armor/tank(sword) had to be drastically changed. The new powers and mechanics made for some interesting combinations... Still working on all of them. But, the game play hasn't changed by all that much. The ranged…

Thanks RTMA. Just frustrated. Bugs suck...
-
Thanks RTMA. Do you know of a fix? or where to "Properly" report this?
-
Glortor : So you would recommend the "Force Shield" (better energy return) over the "TK Shield" (better physical damage protection)? Just thinking back to which stats the Force shield is based on... And it is Ego based (the energy return part) for the win!! Thanks for jogging my elbow, Glortor. I needed that. Making…

Hello Flowcyto: My current stats (level 16) without any gear / with Aurum (6) are: Str 10 / 10 Dex 36 / 101 Con 32 / 96 Int 13 / 13 Ego 53 / 174 Pre 13 / 13 Rec 20 / 20 End 10 / 10 Note ; PSS / SS In Brawler role my numbers are : Health 2,935 Energy 47 / 112 Offense 46.1 Defense 55.5 Critical 24.2 Severity 50 The self heal…

Beast, please don't go. You and Flocyto are the two people on these forums I know I can rely on. Please?
-
And please allow me to toss in my agreement also. Though I do agree that the "older" the power/advantage the greater the cost, the system of having to remove everything above that one power/advantage you want to change sucks. And in that last sentence I noticed that the system places both "powers" and "advantages" in the…

While we are on the subject of hamsters, when is the Powerhouse's "Giant Hamster Wheel" getting a hamster of its own in game?
-
Sort of off target... How about going thru the "Innate Talents" and making a full mix of bonuses, instead of the duplicated/nearly duplicated mess that is there now. If you look at the point system used to keep these equal the formula is simple enough to make this an easy "mini Free Form". Formula is: If (Stat -5)>5 then…
-
Just "fought" my way thru this to get my "free" vehicle. Fought = Use IE. My default browser is Firefox, and it gave me all sorts of trouble. IE went thru on first try. Free = You have to give away your E-mail address. I used a dump address so I think I dodged this bullet. Highly advise using this tactic for any of these…

Stupid cupid, Valentines are for girls...

I like the idea of scaling the "Pets" (or at least their abilities) to the character. I just think that the offense/defense/healing/other should scale based on different stats. Or maybe have the scaling Stat be based on the power set (Int for Tech, Ego for Mental/Energy, Pre for Mystic...). I also liked the idea that the…
-
morigosa: You were right! I tried to use an existing character to make the costume, and all the "Victorian" parts are not owned. This bug is truly frustrating. Any chance I could up-vote this for a fix?
-
morigosa: I didn't know about this bug. I thought when I went gold (a very nice Christmas present) I got access to so much I just thought that those were parts I had access to automatically. Now I don't know (but will be trying to find out). roughbearmattach: Not yet, but that is a good idea. Will be trying that tonight…

Hello flowcyto! I took some of your suggestions, but not all. Let me explain. Starting with the Talents, I want to stick to my original idea of using the Talents to boost the (mostly) non-super stats. Combined with AoPM the total effect should make even the these non-super stats have a decent effect in game, since every…

So I made many of the changes you suggested, just not always the way you suggested... I went with the Vengeance w/Redemption Denied advantage (for the Paralyze and Stun effects as well as the Vulnerability debuff, which should work against Bosses!). For more flexibility with the damage type (oh alright, just for s***s &…
-
flowcyto: Again, thanks for the info! Especially about the upcoming changes. With Mental Storm I was looking more for an AoE Root/Incapacitate than a debuff. Any suggestions? Psionic Healing was for the (possible) greater healing. Might look into an AoE damage here (maybe get a two for one that has good damage and a…

And again, I am unable to post the "export" from PowerHouse. Here is the link: Little Bitty Kitty PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Little Bitty Kitty Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Presence (Primary) Level 10: Ego (Secondary) Level 15: Constitution (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Marksman Level 6:…

Not so soon after Christmas! I won't have funds until March at best...

Same problem here, Chaelk. "Do you want to leave this page" is rapidly becoming one of my most hated phrases.
-
I have been using the Stat and Specialization Tree Guide located Here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122228214 I don't know if the info there is better, newer or more accurate, but it is another guide that can help. It has helped give me several ideas, or helped make those ideas reality. Also check out the…
-
Thanks again Flowcyto. You are one of the best.
-
Regarding Ego Surge (Nimble Mind): Does anyone know if this still scales on Con? Thought that it had been changed to just "Super Stats" or some such...
-
Also along the "They may resemble Terran insects, but are Alien" line, the "Queen" may not be a dominate creature, but something different (slave/brainless?, or not even a full self contained creature?) We have also only truly interacted with Qularr military, not their society at large. Could you see this from the outside,…
-
Congrats Kaizerin!!! But I have to sort of agree with Jaazaniah. Seems that anyone with true talent end up with either STO or NW.
-
Thanks for the map!
-
Thanks Carrion and Flowcyto! I took a lot your advice and put them together into this build. I kept Rank 2 on Form of the Tempest, just for the better chance to stack Focus. I also kept Rising Knee, not only for the Flowing Strikes set up but also because it is the only knock in this build. I just realized this on the…
-
Thank you very much everybody! Flowcyto: Here I was looking at the "10% Chance to gain a stack of Focus" at rank 1 vs 40% at rank 3. but went your way with this, even to changing the Form. (Going for the Criticals anyway...). I hope this works out as I also dropped Drunken Master from Vicious Strikes. I dropped Fury of the…
-
And those are my three versions of AC/DC First (Ego Primary) is heavy on the ranged damage (from the high Ego), and also carries a big Critical Rating. Second (End Primary) is a real powerhouse, with all the energy you might need. Third (Dex Primary) really brings the Critical and Dodge into the game. Now to decide...…

The following three Builds all involve several common concepts. Dual personality; Aggressive & Defensive.* Aggressive = Ranged DPS Role + Electric Form Passive + Concentration Toggle * Defensive = Hybrid Role + Regeneration Passive + Concentration Toggle New(er) List of Attacks (and Specials): (Each of these brings…
-
flowcyto: Thanks for the suggestions. I feel like such a fool about the Crippling Challenge on my only Single Target attack. Especially after making the big deal (TWICE!) about how each of my attacks offered something special... I must have looked at the wrong/out of date articles regarding Smoke Bomb. When I went back and…
-
And here it is, the only shortly awaited "Dexterity Primary Stat" version of the Split Personality Build. Again, I changed the Super Stats (dropped Con for Dex), Talents, First Spec Tree & Mastery. This version is much more invested in Critical Hits and Dodging. Also replaced Rebirth with Masterful Dodge. I'll just have to…
-
As promised I am back with the new and different AC/DC. Changed the order of the Super Stats (End, Ego, Con) and changed the "minor super stat" (dropped Dex for Int), the Talents, and the First Spec Tree & Mastery. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: AC/DC Split Personality Build 2.1 Archetype: Freeform Super Stats:…
-
I'm back with some changes of my own concoction for this build. I changed the Defensive side of the split personality to center on self healing.* Aggressive = Ranged DPS Role/Electric Form Passive/Concentration Toggle * Defensive = Hybrid Role/Regeneration Passive/Concentration Toggle Also added Smoke Bomb for the threat…
-
No offense intended, pantagruel01, but all of those end up depending on Presence. And so far as I can tell Presence only effects heals and maybe some of the magical end of things. With all the other changes that made nearly everything base on your Super Stats (not one specific stat ) (most of the time) (OK, the exceptions…
-
jaazaniah1: Thank you for the link. That will come in very handy now and in the future. pantagruel01: And thanks to you also. I may go with conviction after all, even though I'm trying for a Tech based character. Just a thought: Why does this game not have a "First Aid" or "Medical Training" type of skill? Seems that all…
-
There is also "The Rush of Battle" from Specializations. But I really should have been more specific about the information I was looking for this time. What I am looking for is a quick "Tap/Click" power for a quick instant heal. However, so many of the powers that fit this description are based on Presence, which this…
-
Thank you sterga. This is the build after taking your suggestions to heart. Question: Are critical chance items common, rare, extremely rare, or non-existant? Finally, I made the choice of dropping Find the Mark to add Locus. PS: I had forgot that Locus is based on per strike, not per shot. Makes the 30 stacks go from once…
-
Thanks again flowcyto! I made a couple of changes based on your advice. A special thanks for the nudge regarding Palliate (Absolve). Absolve was the effect I was looking for. I should mention that it has only two single target attacks, but one is your go to (Assault Rifle) and the other is your energy builder (Steady…

kallethen: Wish there was a better wiki for this game. The only wiki's I have found are from back in 2011 & 2012. CO has so much inside, from character, build, interactions... But no central reference that is either complete or up to date. How about the dev's make their "bible" available to some of the forum/game players…
-
flowcyto: BIG thank you! Forms: Was tricked by the guides and descriptions I have found regarding Fiery form, Immolation, and Ego Surge. They all (more or less) stated "Slotted Offensive Passive - Energy Form" or "Active Offense - Energy Form". It was the "Energy Form" in the title of all three that had me confused. But if…
-
Newbie question of the day: Immolation and Fiery Form. Both increase my damage and both count as forms. Now since you can only have one form active at a time, does that mean that I am trading one bonus for another? And is the difference that much that it matters? Or do these two stack? Next Newbie QoD: Ego Surge. Does it…
