I would suggest taking rank 3 for Force Shield for endgame content. Pulverizer may work better than Impact Force since you're not stacking Endurance. If you were to go with Force Control and stack End, then Impact Force would definitely be the better choice of the two.
Crowd Control (CC) powers are ones that affect the status of your targets vs doing damage to them. The Hold powers will keep your target from moving or attacking as long as the Hold is in effect. Holds can be Sleep, Paralyzes, Stuns and Incapacitates. Each works a little differently. Other forms of CC are Roots that stop…
Since you've received a lot of feedback, it should be clear the goal to "help out a bit when I can with a bonus of stats" is actually doing the opposite. There are also better build options to get "bonuses for damage". I'd recommend reevaluating your goals for your build and make changes, if you're interested in…
Mind Control is fun but rather niche. It may work best for a healer/support build as it takes a flat percentage of health off of the target after its Corrupt control effect wears off. Unfortunately, despite being a control power, Mind Control doesn't proc Manipulator stacks or benefit from Manipulator in any way. Aside…
The main beneficial change here is that Power Variant Devices can now be individually color changed. Previously, you had to use the option to change all of your power, aura and device colors to change them. Thumbs up from me on this change.
Looks like a fine build. A couple options you could consider. I usually find Guardian's Find the Mark specialization difficult to keep up without using maintains or rapid taps. You could switch from using Guardian to using Avenger. Avenger's Preemptive Strike works very nicely when rotating between your Blast and Icicle…
That should rule out the CO server and your account as the problem. Could be a hardware failure. Test with a hardwired connection vs wireless. If you're hardwired to your ISP device, try swapping out the network cable. If you have a home router or switch, plug your PC directly into your ISP device. Run a ping test to an…
If you want to test another way, create a new CO account and see if the same issue happens under the new account. If the new account is unaffected, you can use that as evidence for the game admins to fix. If the issue happens with the new account as well, maybe see if your ISP Support can identify something on their end…
With what we have in-game today, I think you'd have to use the invisible weapons options from the Foxbat event and use a costume gun hand piece. For the switch between a normal hand and gun hand, you'd have to do a costume change. Your characters animation would still be like you're holding a rifle. To get a gun pose…
Others can weigh in, but if you're the only person having the issue, the issue is between your PC/local app and your connection to the server. If it's not your PC, then you can look at any local network equipment. If you're on wireless, try a wired connection, etc.. If the issue isn't there, it could be your ISP…
I'm assuming you completely uninstalled the program and reinstalled it? If you're using the Arc launcher, you can try opening the application directly from the Champions Online.exe.
I'd say yes. Lots of examples. In this patch, they just fixed a very recently reported issue with Unleashed Rage. I'm sure the change to Meteor Blaze's pyre patch was also based on feedback.
To be fair, the Moth Legs and Moth Cape are both gold tier costume pieces but only priced at 300 tokens vs 400. Should take some of the sting out of the prices for the purple Moth pieces, if you think they're a bit high.
The build looks good to me. I had similar and recently respecced for INT as the primary SS. I think I may be eking out a little more DPS with INT but I didn't do a lot of testing. Since Unified Theory works more off of END, you may want to consider swapping REC for END. You could also consider taking Shotgun Blast over…
Sorry, missed this response. When you say you have 365 tokens, are you sure they are Onslaught tokens? The OV tokens get a bit confusing with Guardian tokens, Villain tokens and Onslaught tokens. You can only get Onslaught tokens by purchasing them from the OV vendor and they should show up in your inventory bags.
When making a dual role build, like CC/Healer, there are always sacrifices in powers and specialization to fit two roles instead of one. You often have to decide which role you would like to favor. For CCing at Cosmics, you need to be sturdy enough to survive Kiga's strongest storms as his health gets low. You also would…
If the unlock worked on the character you unlocked Medusa on, you can go to the Onslaught store and look at the OV unlocks under the Onslaught Villain Store tab. The Medusa unlock should show a cost of 1 Onslaught Token instead of 10,000 Onslaught Guardian Tokens. If it doesn't show as unlocked, check all of your inventory…
Here's a slight variation on the build, if you'd like to incorporate Exp Blaster more into the attack rotation. I swapped out the Guardian Specializations for Avenger, though you could just as easily swap out Vindicator for Avenger instead. With Avenger, you can rotate between Exp Blaster and PBR. PBR will proc Relentless…
I noticed the original build had Electric Form instead of Targeting Computer. The OP could always switch back to that to benefit more from Thunderstrike. PBR should outperform Exp Blaster for single target damage but Exp Blaster seemed to be a major fit for the OP's theme. It can still make a decent opener followed by PBR.…
Thunderstrike's damage isn't going to get boosted by Targeting Computer and Experimental Blaster might be a little underwhelming as your main DPS power. Below is a Gadgeteering build with Pulse Beam Rifle to try to keep within theme. I dropped Protection Field in favor of a self heal. There are some force shield devices…
Only today left before the cats are gone. Martha Reese in Ren Center and her cat Reggie, to the left of the Power House, give a daily mission that allows you to rescue 5 cats for anniversary event favor (money).
You might run into a few issues with the build. Being dual role, you shouldn't have a reason to use the Hybrid role and should be using either the Support role or DPS role. Using AoPM without Pre as a super stat won't be as helpful to your teammates when in the Support role. Also, not have Con as a super stat might make it…
Found an old article that says "Week 4 bonus perk: summon a cat action figure to get Catwalk title/perk and dance_cat". Not a lot of detail. Today's patch notes say "Foxbat steals the show! Be sure to take out a cat action figure this week while near the dance stage!". I think it's probably the same thing.
There are a few dead zones where OV powers will be disabled, especially during OM events. If you enter a dead zone, you'll see a debuff icon under your character icon in the upper left hand corner. It has a little DNA picture for the debuff. After you exit the dead zone, you'll still have a countdown on the debuff before…
So I went into another Invasion Simulation and it looks like the mission downgrade to level 30 may be the culprit. I've never been very clear on what being downgraded actually does. In this case, the energy cost reductions from gear and/or specializations seems to be affected as the power cost increases in the mission…
Heya Twovok. If you see this, jump on to CO and get your free Freeform character slot from the Zen store under the Bonus tab. Happy CO 13th anniversary!
To me, this is a Force version of a Munitions Grenade power, which also have cooldowns. Some powers do and some don't. There's no published parameter that suggests it should be one or the other and exists at the Devs' discretion. Imho, it would be overpowered with the AoE CC advantage and no cooldown but I'd run with it if…
I just do the two at Until and run north to the one on the street past the Museum. Then I run back just before the Until ones respawn. Rinse and repeat.
On very rare occasion, CO has given out a free freeform slot. With the anniversary event coming up, maybe they'll give one out again. No guarantees, just keep an eye out for one. If they do, folks usually mention it in zone chat and it should be available in the Zen store under the Bonus tab.
The build looks good to me. I would probably stick with Guardian for the extra defense and +crit chance vs Avenger. I like Exploit Opening but old forum notes suggest that it gives a flat +30% crit severity and not 30% of your existing critical severity. It's still an attractive option, imho, and I haven't tested the…
It may depend on whether you mean ATs (pre-defined builds) or if you have an interest in making freeform builds. You can use normal character slots to create new ATs and should be able to delete them to make new ones. If you purchase a freeform character slot, you can create a freeform build with the ability to delete the…
Epidemics energy costs were adjusted on 6/30. Per the 7/7/2022 release notes: Last week Epidemic had it cost corrected without any mention in the patch notes. Players who owned this power prior to 6/30/2022 have received a free respec.
