Sorry missed your reply Carrionbaggage. With the new gear, tanking is pretty easy. Still have to block on certain attacks from mega destroyers or the knock back will flatten me, but otherwise its easier than invulnerability against the same hard hitting mds.the gear definitely changes the survivability.
-
Yeah I was kinda sad to see Energy Wave go, it was more of a 'tack' on super power at the end there but it added a little flair I think. I will drop resurgence, I only ever used it on Gravitar anyway so I don't think its a major loss. I have several of the Heroic Resonance but those are all on the same cool down and can…
-
Thanks to the test server being up during maintenance I was able to try out your build suggestion. I didn't have any depleted cores, or avoidance cores so I just did this: Justice Precision (STR, STR, Gambler's Gem, Gambler's Gem) Justice Fitness (CON, CON, Impact Prism, Impact Prism) Justice Speed (CON, CON, Gambler's…

2ndy gear usually works well. From what I understand most players swap into silver star gear which takes about a week to get (or less if you have other characters that can help), and save up questionite to replace the 2ndy gear. If you have the questionite for 2ndys, and the stars for prime I don't know if it would be a…

End game justice gear, I was thinking of the following: Justice Mask of Efficiency (Con/INT/Cost Discount X2) Justice Tights of Fitness (Con X2/Defense X2) Justice Gloves of Precision (Str X2/Off X2) That makes a ton of sense, thanks carrionbaggage!
-
MSA scales with Intelligence I think... Plus intelligence will reduce the cost of your attacks. As long as you cycle in backhand chop every 7 or so seconds you should be good. The upper cut thing is nice, but I agree the animation make it look like you are on a frosted flakes commercial.
-
If you click on the show advanced section it will provide you the details behind the power. Ego Surge like Lock and Load gives you a 42% damage boost and 1786 break free boost for 12 seconds. Lock and load gives you 6.7 crit chance and a 25% cost discount. Ego surge gives you 66 ego. When you get the nimble mind…

OK, you may want to try it again with one of the other powers. I am uncertain if Concussor beam is bugged, but its not in your build any more so you should be safe from it regardless. I verified that with mini-gun, you get a stack at 4 ticks.
-
I apologize for not understanding this statement. I believe what you are saying is that you can't get any more concentration stacks once the enemy gets close to you? If this is the case, I recommend you get focus go into the training dummy area, stand right next to one of the dummies and use mini-gun. All you have to do is…
-
You are correct, and your experience serves you well. Oddly enough I was able to tank Gravitar without a healer as an invulnerability tank. Frosticus, on the other hand, even with a healer was a challenge that I found invulnerability was not up to the task for.
-
I don't think getting rid of focus is a good idea and adding Arc Lightening might not mesh with the whole toggle PA thing as it will get locked out once you toggle a pa ability. Good call on the BRC, I think you will notice an improvement. Energy wave is a lot of fun. Fire/Electric/& all melee will thank you for it. Unless…

Flowcyto has a 'themed' PA build here: http://powerhouse.nullware.com/powerhouse.html?v=10&n=&d=1347gPTMQUaS0M091009B0b7F009D039I009M0L940H9T039P019G08QG010000000000002siL43A63UbT I found that it worked well to level up with. In as far as your build goes. What pieces of it are important to you? It seems that you are…
-
pantagruel01 Thanks for the heads up! So I copied over a character to the test server like 6 times with all of my drifter salvage so I could actually afford a set of justice gear. He already had the vigilante gear set, and then he had some mix matched primary gear, 1 piece of legion and 2 mercenary pieces. The gear was…
-
Thank you.
-
So I copied a character over to test, thank's Carrionbaggage, saved me some pain there. I slotted only con mods, my con ended up at 631. Total defense was 259, which translated to 61% resistance. Invulnerability ignored 164 pts of damage and resists 75% + 61% from defense = (2.36) 1500/2.36 = 635 - 164 = 471.5 Actual tests…
-
Doh you were right, I dodged. 468 damage. Thanks :P l
-
Hello, I tested on the live server. I will look into the test server.. Haven't done anything on that before. I will run the tests again and verify that I do not dodge. Thanks!
-
You are correct, Flowcyto pointed that out as well. I have corrected my numbers. I don't actually have any trouble with agro, my damage output is the same if I use invulnerability or defiance but I could try slotting for dex or ego to increase my damage. I am going to get some silver star gear to test with. Thank you for…
-
Stats: 176.9 Defense (42% resistance) Invulnerability: Ignore 158 pts (71% resistance) Defiance: 6 Stacks of 18% (ish) resistance (108%) Using laser testing -=Invulnerability=- Base Damage 1500 Assumed Actual Damage: 677 Minus Invulnerability flat rate: 519 Actual Damage Resisted: 55% The damage minus invulnerability's…
-
Carrionbaggage Yes, that does make sense and explains the odd variance. I was constantly running reconstructing circuits while using defiance and I may have run it while in invulnerability. What I find odd is that invulnerability seemed to have higher resistance than defiance even though it's resistance values should have…
-
Thank you for your responses. pantagruel01: I ran some tests and the results are inconsistent. Defiance (6 Stacks at 18% per and defense adds 42% total of 150%)* 782 (2019) 38% * 738 (1900) 38% * 692 (1966) 35% * 712 (2022) 35% Invulnerability (75% from invulnerability, 42% from defense total of 117%) [158pts resisted…
-
Is it possible to get responses to issues like these? I never see any of these complaints addressed in the forums. Bumping this back up, for what good it will do.
-
Well it appears to be fixed. I just logged in and am at the character select screen.
-
Its been about 3.5 Hours, are there any updates?
-
Personally I have a tough time using celestial clensing. If you aren't caught up in the hold and you can see others being held, with the area effect advantage it could be situationally useful. Your playstyle might also aford you more opportunity, I tend to run in with the pack, sounds like you might hang back. Still... You…
-
It is a ton more fun than it was, every battle was a chore, now I can actually enjoy the fights. Thanks for the heads up on the tokens! That will come in super handy. And thanks again for your help.
-
I went ahead and replaced my primary utility with the mercenary blue piece I had. I did not redo my stats, it was going to cost 50 gold, or one of my retcon and I wanted to avoid that unless I needed to. My new stats with the Vigilante gear, the legion primary defense, and the mercenary utility primary are: Strength: 347…
-
I didn't realize it was that important, I just assumed it worked off the super stats. But good to know! I picked up the vigilante gear. I purchased Vigilante's blostering bracers, Vigilante's hastened eye piece and Vigilante's critical belt. The only problem with this new gear is it has dropped my con by 60. I use…
-
Thanks Flowcyto! So don't get the armadillo stuff, focus on CD reduction on utility, get my con up, and get a mix of def/maxhp mods. Cool!
-
I don't really care for bionic shielding for my healer. I would rather throw on a shield, or cast conviction.
-
My character is pretty squishy, and still having endurance issues, but I think it is all gear related. In alerts I am usually limping at half health between groups of mobs. I have 319 strength, 165 con, 71 int, 63 recovery, 16 endurance, 10 ego, 10 perception, 23 dex. I was reading that defiance tanks really need 300 con…
-
I have created several healers while playing champions. My first healer was something similar to what you have (Celestial didn't exist). I ran into two issues, glass cannons and big hits in nemesis conflict. When I am healing, and someone dies on my watch, I get pretty upset. There are times, you can't really help it, like…
-
I checked out [taintedmess]'s suggestion with shadow embrace and ego sprites colored green and I can attest that they look more plant like. [Flowcyto]'s suggestion on the fire snake looks like a miasma cloud and when it envelops people it continues to look more like a cloud or gas than fire when colored green. You could…
-
So I switched the build around, dropped ego surge, and ice wall and got the two powers you suggested. Holy crap that was fun! Here is the new build: PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name: Glacier Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6: Strength (Primary) Level 10: Constitution (Secondary) Level 15: Intelligence…
-
Man was headed off to bed, but that sounds really interesting! Let me test that out. Thanks Carrionbaggage!
-
well that little change was enough, enrage is easy to get in place by pouncing around if 3 mobs are in separate places. Also pouncing into a large group and then using avalanche is a good combo. I find I only use ice wall once I get agro, and only after I have 6 stacks of defiance, but it adds that extra umph to make it…
-
Let me try out pounce and icewall and see if that does it. Thanks!
-
It isn't that I want Rising Knee... Now that I think about it, it isn't all that heroic to knee someone in the groin and then super punch them in the face. I believe I was thinking more min/maxing instead of creating a character that I would actually enjoy playing. I tried the build out at the battle station. (I really…
-
Thanks Flowcyto, Made some modifications, I believe I addressed all of your points. Conviction will probably be my MSA trigger. I wasn't sure if I should put crippling challenge in ice cage or not, so I left it out, if I need it I can steal the points from resurgence. So I got a lunge, and I got ice cage, lol, wasn't too…
-
Wow, sounds like your design concept is all over the place in regards to powers. I have a character that I named infinity, who will similarly have several attacks all over the spectrum. I have left him parked in the power house until I can face the horror that he has become. However, I did discover a passive that boosts…
-
I believe the concept is fluidity of action, if you need conviction which has a 4 second cool down, having to wait the 6 seconds or 5 seconds for a pa attack to finish limits you from hitting conviction when you need it, or as soon as it is off cool down. Reconstructing circuits would allow you to continue an attack while…
-
One of my favorite powers in the game is Crushing Wave from the force power set. It Could be passed off as a 'particle energy' power and it has challenging strikes which is really important if you are going to tank. If you do go with Crushing Wave, I would agree with [talondevero] that you might want to get Overdrive…
-
Hello, Sorry I was away taking advantage of that double experience weekend. From Flowcyto's response I believe I will respec my character at 40. I will use Flowcyto's heavy weapons build for the basis of my character. I grabbed Decimate and Aggressor, decimate to move around quickly and pull down flying idiots, and…
-
I appreciate your responses Flowcyto! For the record, I am finding that your personal preferences end up paying off more than they should. It is really not fair, I think you were genetically engineered to master Champions Online. About me: I have been a very casual CO player having pre-purchased the life time subscription…
-
[Edit: Saw morigosa's suggestion after I posted. I could remove unbreakable and replace it with pounce. I do hate knock back, thats why spamming brimstone is so nice. Thanks for the suggestion!] Thank you flowcyto and carrionbaggage. I changed the build based on the suggestions you both made. Aafter reading through…
