CoH / CoV Update

Champion Alts
50 Ene/Ene Blaster - Still working on those last few badges: Buckholder's Bane, Destroyer of Strength, Protector of Kindness, Slayer of Madness, Trendsetter, Popular, Leader, Imprisoned, Confined, Caged, Jailed, Irradiated, Web Master, Rocketman, Grand Lanista, Master of Olympus, Statesman's Pal, Pumpkin King, Giant Killer, Geas of the Kind Ones, and a few Gladiator badges.

26 Invul/EM Tanker - Done a couple TFs lately, hit 26, need to go back and clear the second half of the Striga content.

12 AR/Dev Blaster - Respec'd for I6 finally. Pondering building it as a 'Stalker Hunter' for purely PvP reasons with Targetting Drone (+Acc / +Per), Cloaking Device (Stealth), and Tactics (+Acc / +Per). Given it is already on the path to Super Leap they should be able to keep up with or outrun Stalkers and the stacked +Per should let them see through Hide and Stealth.

17 Kin/Elec Defender - Respec'd for I6 and still has the same problems as before. I have too many slots in the primary and not enough in the secondary. Might have made it worse with this respec actually. Just isn't fun to play solo and in a team I'd rather play someone else normally so it lingers on as a purely RP character that I rarely pull out.

26 Ice/Ice Blaster - Got some play recently and respec'd for I6. Finally hit 26 and got the second Ice Blast hold power. Still grumpy at the I5 nerf to his hold duration as they wear off faster then they cycle right now even against white cons. Going to have to slot more heavily in them then I had planned for Hold Dur and Recharge Rate.

12 Warshade - Haven't touched this one in a bit. Split between respec'ing as a goofy tri-form Warshade or saying to hell with it and swapping to MA/Ninjitsu Stalker.

21 Peacebringer - Respec'd for I6 a bit back. On occasionally with it's partner to do some missions. Very very slowly working through the 20-25 Kheldian arc.

15 EM/EA Stalker - Finally hit 15 the other day and has new content again. Working it's way now through the 15-20 storyarcs. Very surprised at times at both how fragile and how tough it is. Took down 9 white con Goldbrickers guarding a hostage without a problem. Got spanked by 2 yellow con Spectral Knights in about 15 seconds flat. Next level is the EA mez defense.

14 Fire/Fire Corrupter - My solely team-based villain. No contacts on it except for Kalinda and Mongoose. Still fun to play though. Sort of the 'reversed-world' experience for me however. I mean, I simply do not player healer-heroes, they bore the snot out of me. But it hasn't been too bad as a villain. Need to push it up closer to 20 so I can do a run of the first villain SF and be useful to the team.

15 Archery/Ene Blaster - Working through the last Hollows contact. At the Igneous hunt I think. Fun change of pace. Plays oddly differently from my other blasters and I really am not sure why. Maybe because I have entirely ignored the secondary and likely will continue to do so except for the self-buffs.

5 Dark/Dark Brute - Don't play it much, but it is rather fun when I do. Still tossing around the idea of re-rolling into Super Strength instead of Dark Melee just for the visual aspects of this tiny little guy punching people up into the air or footstomping them away, but happy with Dark for now.

5 Mind/Psi Dominator - I really tore up the Beta as a Dominator, hell of a lot of fun. But I just can't get into it now that it is live. I think because solo they were so easy to play, dealing with 3 foes at a time was no problem. But in a team, which is what I do pretty much all my CoV play as except for my Stalker, they just aren't as... Dominating. I miss something with my primary set and suddenly I am in serious trouble. This is my second Dominator try since it went live, Plant/Thorn was my first. Plant Control is a sickly good set, but Thorn irritated me. I kept having to pop the thorns out again everytime I threw a Plant attack and the delay in the animation actually got me walloped a couple times. I may re-roll it into another hero and try a Elec/Elec blaster instead. Not sure yet.

Virtue Alts
21 Rad/Rad Corrupter - Goof around with him a little bit. He's done the first SF twice now which was a blast. Need to run him around some more in Sharkshead. Definately fun, close to SOs and I think easily my best balanced Corrupter build so far when it comes to damage output vs team buffing / healing.
