Turiel Farming Council (CoH)

Turiel, my Fire Melee/Shield Defense Scrapper in City of Heroes, doing a little farming of level 53 Council set for a team of 8. I do have the alpha level shift, so they're just 2 levels over me, but other than the cardiac alpha, I have no incarnate powers on this toon yet. There's nothing special about this run. I'm out of practice, I make mistakes, it's no great demonstration of survivability, technique, or speed. For that matter, this is a concept build with only fire sword attacks in melee, which hampers his speed on the bosses. But I think it's probably still a good indicator of farming speed on a decent non-incarnate Fire/Shield, which is something I wanted to post about on the forum.

Also, I finally got WeGame up and running on my new computer after quite a bit of trouble, and wanted to upload SOMETHING. If you've watched any of my other videos, you can perhaps imagine how happy I am to finally be able to record directly in game with the full UI instead of from demorecords with all their glitches.

Hey is that toon purpled? I have a fm/sd I'm planning on spec'ing into pyre mastery but from the look of mids I will need the +end accolades and 4 +4% recovery bonuses to keep up with my current use of physical perfection, what I want to know is, how bad will end be without the purple sets?

@huwrosen He's purpled, but the purple sets have poor endurance reduction, so it CREATES an endurance problem, not solves one. I use the Cardiac Alpha to manage my endurance, but the previous iteration of my build was fine without it - not sustainable, but fine. Definitely get the endurance accolades. You'll be just fine if you build it right.

do you still play your dark melee/Super reflex hero? if so i have a question for you about SR..

[WernerCoH]

@dragoon0705 He's mostly shelved, but I still have a good understanding of Super Reflexes.  What's the question?

[dragoon0705]

@dragoon0705 i was just wondering how SR holds up vs something like Willpower or invuln or Energy aura...or anything for that matter...i just dont see dodge% being as good as damage resist or health regen...unless you cant be touched...like ever then that would be pretty sick...lol i just made a MA/SR scrapper and its ok at lvl 33...just not..great.

@dragoon0705 Super Reflexes is slow to bloom, though you should be pretty good by 33. It can hit the incarnate soft cap easier than most sets can hit the normal soft cap. Add the Rebirth Destiny, and you have a very solid toon for incarnate content. Against normal enemies, Super Reflexes provides one of the easiest routes to very good survivability, but many other secondaries can eclipse it with enough influence spent on great builds.
