May as well update

Played some City of Heroes last night. Was going to help someone defeat the Envoy of Shadows, but got stuck in a group doing the Manticore Task Force. Got Hidden Justice up to 32 (almost to 33) and picked up Fulcrum Shift. Oh. My. God. Nothing beats nailing FS in the middle of a huge horde of villains and watching the buff bar for the teammates in the middle stretch the entire length of the screen. The most I got in one shot was something around 10 to 12 buffs on one character from it, so I don't see the upcoming nerf obliterating it too much. Although, the main key for it is the debuff which it'll be interesting to see how that plays out with the limits. As it stands, HJ will just need 8 of the buffs on her to cap her damage as I am three slotting all of her attacks, possibly four slotting if I decide to not pick up Hasten.

Picked up Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night as well. Read four chapters so far in about 40 minutes to an hours worth of reading time. I like it. Of course, it won't keep me from my COH fix tonight, but still.

Anyrate, busy now. Back to work.

Found your LJ via Nuadha's LJ. Friend of a Friend ;)

It's been a few months since I've played CoH - but Hasten was way fun to play with. 5 slotted with SOs at ++ meant it has a few second downtime. I played a Fire/Mace tanker who just opted to 6-slot and be done with it. 6 SO's at -- still meant I had it up and going whenever I wanted. "Perma-Hasten". Well worth it. Your endurance will suffer greatly, so if you go the Perma-hasten route, I strongly recommend Stamina 6 slotted.

Unless, of course, they've majorly changed mechanics in the 5 months I've been away ;)

Saw you on there and actually saw you had added me yesterday, actually!

As to the rest...

Heh. Heh. Heh.

I have a level 41 ma/regen scrapper with six slotted hasten (it recharges before it's up and is set as the auto-attack power). Amongst a slew of other toys that are currently getting fucked with big time by the devs. :-p

HJ already has a sixxed stamina and is working on transference (drain a villain of their endurance to fill the endurance of any ally surrounding them) which she currently can one or two shot any boss up to a +2 of all of their endurance with it.

I think way too much about COH. I've got hero planners I use to plot out my powers (as well as deciding when I'll respec them to spread the love a bit more evenly).

I need to make a note to get people's global tags (@urbanBohemian) to chat in-game even if not on the same server. I've had more than a few long CoH nights lately (much to my shame and grogginess the next morning)

You're already on my list, actually. @jdotmi :)

Yay for Fulcrum Shift goodness! I atcaully managed to get Chaotic Shadow to Level 17, and I am going to use her respec soon since I am in the "must take Fitness power pool powers" stage (plus I will most likely lose it when I5 goes live, since they will probably give us another free one), and I NEED Inertial Reduction very soon. Not having a decent travel power is really killing me. Siphon Speed is okay, but I am still limited to being on the ground (and it may be going bye-bye in my respec, since I may take Super Speed evenutally, and if I have Inertial Reduction, I really wont need Siphon Speed, as I really don't see a big increase in my rehcarge time), and it does occsinally miss, even with a DO Accurcy Enhancment in it. Also, I am not sure how high I want to take her, becasue I am debating remaking her into a Kinetics/Sonic Attack when I5 goes live (unless they totally screw Sonic Attack over), since I prefer Sonic Attack over Dark Blast, but we will see. It took me a while to get her to 17 and I don't wnat to throw that away. Then again, I hardly ever blast with her since my Endurance is always drained...and I'm babbling aren't I...LOL. Anyway, Congrats on getting HJ to 32! Hopefully I'll be joining you there soon!

Keep Siphon Speed. Seriously. It is bread and butter for me. I nail bosses and AVs with it all the time because it reduces their attack rate as well as buffing my own. The only power I am missing at 33 on HJ from Kinetics is Repel. I use all of my Kinetics powers constantly.

If anything, skip Super Speed. :-p

You won't have endurance problems ever again once you six slot stamina and pick up Transference, just so ya know. Hehe.
