See its simple: you cant. By many aspects a normal set of CoH would outperform any chosen setup in here. Even if you pick every defensive power you can find (within game mechanics offcourse), it wont be equal to a CoH tanker. Even SO slotted tanks have tons of more defense/resistance then any tank i've seen in this game.…
Thats kinda the problem, there are so many talents and powers that influence the defensive stats, making it impossible to put down a basic-overview what or how on the defensive numbers. There are talents that increase defense from gear, increase SS (thus increase defensive passive), eventualy DR kicks in, but also armor…
I dont see Masterful dodge scale with anything, so that would be a 87% avoidance. Add up the already gear/power avoidance, you might hit that 127%. But basicly, the numbers in your character screen are pre-DR? Thats kinda stupid for anyone who's number crunching... I noticed that Eye of the Storm is giving a bubble too,…
But wont you loose alot of damage for not taking Ego? I'm only 18 so i got enough for minigun and gatling gun, but no idea if i can already get enough stats to maintain it. (does minigun continue even when you spam your gatling?)
But to put that in numbers: Afaik flat dmg reduction goes first so: (1000 - 160) / 1.72 = 488 dmg 1000 / 2.14 = 467 dmg Now i got no idea what normal hard hitting stuff is, but assuming your HP at 40 is around 10k (i think?), is that even noticable? Hmm never thought about endurance return.
How much different are Defiant with Invuln? From the basic numbers, they hardly seem to be much different, and by the damage calculation (from resistance), once you get in the high regions of resistance does Defiant give that much more resistance its noticable? The only think i couldnt find, do the stacks of Defiance also…
I really like the turret concept, but is that build mainly based on that Arcane Power summon? In short, you have to stay in your 'spot' to keep going? (i tried with rec/end/ego but that didnt work out very well).
Aaah ok, thats quite different then i'm used to :) (well as far CoH goes, most MMO's have sortlike gear-endgame content stuff). Now just to stop making alts and focus on 1 character for a while :D
That would basicly be Granite Armor then :P Im still too low to understand the whole slotting and higher gear (though i found some stuff about prefixes, that helps alot), i only got 1 item so far that could be slotted.
I've seen a few of those inv/heal builds, i'm following one atm based heavy weapon/invul, on a Con/Pre/end (or rec, cant remember) statsetup. One thing i did notice in CO, beyond CoH, you can basicly make anything work. Grab the tank basics (as mentioned) and toss in any offensive set you would like. Electricity, heavy…
Isnt that what i just said? Invul with shield, lighting reflex with parry etc? The active defense i just call 'clickies', they more like panic buttons then 'active'. 15sec duration on a 1,5 min cooldown, thats not really active. Some of the mechanics are quite different, resistance is no where near the same (90% resist…
I've been reading alot about the slotted passives and the toggle buffs, but they seem to differ alot from the mechanics 'we tanks' used to know. Seems like you initialy focus on 1 element (dodge, regen, resistance of dmg-reduction+resistance) and from there i gues its all about stats from gear? Did found some basic sets…
You can also pick the demon from ritual of Ebon Summoning, then take the unbound ritual to make him a static pet (else its bound to a ritual and you can only summon him on the spot and not doing any other ritual). Though rank 3 makes him quite a fire troller, does aoe fire and stuff. For temp summons (mostly 20sec…
I had no idea you could 'undo' your entire freeform character (for a price), so i recreated a new character about 10 times after i got around 15-17 and found out the set wasnt really my thing. But some alerts, i had no idea how on earth you could take down that guy in 2 minutes, like the guy that basicly dodge everything…
Its not that often you see a huge competitor saying these words, even though they share a 'common' history (both devs as company alike). I think for many of us CoH veterans, it means alot. I saw the message earlier being posted on facebook, decided to give CO another go (played it 3 years ago or such). Though i'm happy…
Hello :) I just registered on the forums (already had a account for like 3 years), so i cant make my own topic yet, might as well try here. I'm (as many here) a CoH refugee, 8 year veteran thats looking for a new place called 'home'. Ingame i already met some very friendly peeps, looks good :D Now my question, is anyone…
