I might stick a cape on if the character has a classic comic, mystical or fantasy theme. Examples: Red Queen Crusader
-
A long time ago I made this in a bout of silliness: Wombatman! Also Bold Eagle from my Archetype thread:
-
I guess my best is probably my main character Triunity's costume. Under your torso options you can get a robotic left, right or both arms. They don't really resemble Cable or Winter Soldier though. For that, you'd probably be better off using suitably robotic looking shoulder/arm/wrist/hand pieces on one arm,
-
Rather than try and build an actual Fire/UA hybrid, you could simply make an Unarmed build that uses Flashfire + Thermal Reverb and secondary SS End. Include BCF and BCR for extra fiery effects.
-
Ooh, some nice stuff. I'm really digging Zephyrus and Meltdown. Sorry man, none of the costumes I've made for this thread are actually saved as costume files. I can tell you basically what every character is wearing though. Crusader: Metal chainmail tights all over, chainmail partial mask, circlet, celestial eye acc,…
-
Nice guide, man. And some interesting tips like that eye shine thing and the black holograms. Something you might want to add to the bugs: Colouring arm/leg accessories separately often doesn't work properly on one side or the other, with colour choices failing to take or the colour changes affecting completely different…
-
Gabrielle - IMO there's one too many colours here. Personally I'd change the scarf to dark blue/cyan, or change the holograms and aura to red to match the scarf. Also it has a lot of pieces from a single costume set, which personally puts me off a bit. Metalstorm - This guy looks awesome. Good use of colour. The multitude…
-
Wind, Fire, Ice, Force, Mentalist (Sprites, Wave, Storm, Eruption, Blades), Celestial (Conduit) and Sorcery (Skarn's Bane) might be able to pass as radiation with appropriate colouring.
-
Most high damage AoEs don't have the option for CS. For whatever reason, CS and CC are usually restricted to low tier attacks only. There are exceptions though; eg: Avalanche, Sword Cyclone, Skarn's Bane.
-
Overdrive scales mostly on Rec despite the tooltip, and doesn't really help if BB is going to be a main attack. Here's another example build, assuming BB is meant to be the main attack. Super Stats: Level 6: Ego (Primary) Level 10: Dexterity (Secondary) Level 15: Constitution (Secondary) KI seems like the most logical…
-
Personally, I'm okay with ATs being slightly superior DPSers. It's not like they can tank or heal anything remotely like a Freeform can, and the DPS ATs have nothing like the survivability of their Freeform equivalents. Gotta have something going for them.
-
I can't give exact numbers... But I can tell you that a DPSer with an Offensive Passive, their related damage stat as a SS, 200+ Offense and the appropriate damage Form (Conc for ranged, MA/Enrage for melee) is very much pushing into the diminishing returns realm. I was playing around on PTS and found that with Ego SS,…
-
Pre spec has Selfless Ally, which heals you for 10% of any heal you give to an ally. Iniquity damages yourself regardless of whether you actually heal anyone with it or not, guaranteeing that you will benefit from the heal of Selfless Ally. I haven't actually tested if this works with Compassion though; it was just a…
-
The Nightmare build in my signature may be of some interest to you.
-
Pretty sure it is in the description. The effect can be easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it.
-
While it does indeed enable very high uptime on an active offense/defense, you are limited to using your energy builder the entire time. No attacking, no blocking, no healing, just energy builder. This would thoroughly negate much of the point of HAVING a high uptime on your active offense/defense. It's pretty impractical…
-
That's definitely the sound effect of Force Shield, but I think it was actually a character behind that was using it. That ring of light, I've no idea what that is.
-
If you're specifically using only Paranormal damage and aren't looking to make a pet build, you should probably be looking at Ego Form, Shadow Form or Seraphim... If you're mainly concerned with DPS, I guess it'd be something like PSS Ego, SS Rec/Con, Guardian, Vindicator, Shadow/Ego form in ranged role, Concentration,…
-
Sunspot, Heartbreaker (Valentine) and Nayael Spellsword (battle) strike me as your most standout costumes by far.
-
FWIW I solved the knock problems by using Inexorable Tides. 3 taps of that and you can spam whatever knock powers you like afterward.
-
Yeah, Aggressor is just in there for a Hold breaker. Feel free to replace it with a different Active Offense, or something else entirely.
-
Just guessing, but I think it's to trigger a buff in the Avenger spec that boosts base damage after a Blast attack.
-
Mm, the only thing I remember ever being OP in Archery is Tazer Arrow, which used to cause an unbreakable Hold on tap, and WTK which used to freely stack and do full damage in the aoe. Archery's problem is just a lack of damage. Easily fixed - just increase damage on Storm of Arrows, Torrent of Arrows, Explosive Arrow,…
-
Gas Arrow can also be useful on a Fire build. With Flashfire and Firesnake and maybe the Defile debuff, all those DoTs really add up.
-
-If one has Dex SS but not SS Ego or Int, FotT is going to have comparable or better bonus to ranged damage -Concentration is very unreliable if not using charged or maintain attacks; no good for tapspam -Concentration is annoyingly unhelpful if your targets don't live long enough to proc it (makes elec and fire soloing a…
-
Why take Avenger when you can go Guardian or Warden and grab The Best Defense? Or is this for an AT?
-
Lolwat. There are not many ranged attacks in the game that can hope to outDPS Conflagration, single target or otherwise.
-
It will also sear the eyeballs of anyone looking at you.
-
Freeform isn't so much more powerful than ATs than they are much better well-rounded and self-sufficient. The big draw though is that Freeform can combine any sets they like to realise concepts you're probably never going to get in an Archetype. If you're satisfied with the single-set concepts found in Archetypes, I'd say…
-
Mm, I like the top half of the design, but the bottom half doesn't work for me. A medium or long skirt would look better IMO. And I think the chest emblem would be better removed and put on the cape or a pauldron.
-
Roots are not Holds. Holds are Stuns, Paralyzes and Sleeps. No rez? Why PSS End? Your Reverb uses Con, your Toggle uses Pre. I'd have thought PSS Ego, Dex, Pre or Con would work better.
-
Personally I'd look for a place to take back 2 advantage points and pick up either Ego Sleep or Void Shift with their advantage. It's handy to have an instant cast, guaranteed Fear ability rather than depending on Shadow Embrace to apply it.
-
-You have Spirit Reverb. Spirit Reverb uses Con. You do not have SS Con. -How much do you really need Ebon Rift? Never been impressed with it personally. Just my opinion. -You'll want more ranks in your aoe, in this case Shadow Embrace -You have no toggle form -You have taken a rez power, but no bubble. You'll rarely be…
-
The answer would vary power by power I would think. You can work it out yourself. Simply divide the damage by the time it takes to do that damage. eg I've got Fireball listed as 777-3314 damage. Fireball has 0.67 to 3s total activation time (add charge time to activation time for total). tap: 777/0.67 = 1159.70 DPS charge:…
-
No worries. Took me a bit to figure out the new retcon system too. And yeah I thought the cost was a bit rough too, but between Grab Alerts and the increased popularity of NemCon, money seems easy enough to come by these days.
-
There was a thread like this not long ago... http://co-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=148967 As I said in that thread, I simply test DPS by timing how long it takes to kill an equal level Powerhouse dummy. 10s is good, 20 is passable, longer than that and you'd better be a tank/healer because you're certainly not…
-
If you want to rechoose your specs, hit Reset Free then hit Reset All, pay your 50G.
-
Are you particularly set on using Darkness for your offense?
-
Fire, Electricity, Infernal and Power Armor are probably the strongest ranged sets.
-
Shadow Embrace, Roomsweeper, Invuln...? So it's... some kind of Darkness/melee tank? I think I can do that.... Super Stats: Level 6: Constitution (Primary) Level 10: Ego (Secondary) Level 15: Strength (Secondary) Talents: Level 1: The Scourge Level 6: Paramilitary Training Level 9: Martial Training Level 12: Amazing…
-
I don't actually play PA, but maybe this Hybrid tank build would work... Super Stats: Level 6: Ego (Primary) Level 10: Constitution (Secondary) Level 15: Recovery (Secondary) Con for health. Ego for severity, ranged damage and powering Concentration. Rec to power Overdrive. Talents: Level 1: The Scourge Level 6: Survival…

In general, no. However, there are some pseudopets that are affected, such as Collective Will.
-
The Unbound Ritual advantage is usually well worth it. IMO the only Sorc pet that really benefits from R3 over UBR is the Arcane Construct. My favourite pets are the Primal Wolf and Tyrannon's Familiar. Their damage is decent and they're pretty tough as far as pets go.
