Still got the free respec from I5?

[Poison]

Use it up then!

CuppaJo said she'd Warn us ahead of time when we should be using our pre-existing "Free Respec from Issue5".

Use it before Thursday heroes.

Does this mean I6 goes live on Thursday?

[Astartus]

Damn, you beat me to it. Was gonna post the same. Sounds like I6 will go live on Thursday for me.

Have already toyed around with different Hero Planners, gladly I don't have to adjust Frost Phantom that much, cause I slotted most of my (attack) powers with 2 End red, 2 Acc and 2 Dmg. Now I only need to know where to put the remaining 6 slots (3 from Health and 3 from Stamina) into. :p

[Impact]

Wow...definately need to do some fixing up on my heroes quicklike and in a hurry...

[Yin]

Do we get another for I6?! UGGGGH! I'm not going to be able to get on until Saturday, and I was counting on that respec to prepare myself for ED. Asscakes. This isn't good, and that respec trial takes forever and a day to organize and actually complete.

[Lawmaker]

It could mean that Thursday is a patch for ED in preperation for CoV Shipping...


or not...



Purely speculation at this point. But I gues we'll find out soon :)

[Poison]

Hm, I have 2 possibilities: respec Poison and just redo his powers that have too many slots or redo him and make him fit for PvP. I tried the latter, but that's almost annoying. Really a shifting back and forth of powers and slots, having the RSK levels of the PvP zones in mind (Bloody Bay 25, Siren's Call 30, Warburg 38) and when you need/want which power.

As for Sabbath, it was basically just a taking away of slots from his Super Reflex powers. :rolleyes:

[suburbanhell]

Before Thursday? Nice of her to announce but a little extra time would've been nice....

[Chain Lightning]

*Pfft* I have three respecs on CL right now, Two I earned and the freebie. I have him set the way I like it, so go ahead take it. I have one each on Lady Victoria and Crimsonstar and they're both under 30 and I can easily just redo the current slotting when I'm ready for higher SO's.

Besides, they'll just replace the respec with the other free one they're giving.

They're doing the same thing they did in I5, Thresh, don't worry. They're telling you to use it before thursday, because the new respec is going to overwrite your respec from I5.

[suburbanhell]

Every free respec we've ever gotten has always replaced the previous free one if we haven't used it... So just...use the one we're getting for I6...

[Sword]

Best way to look at it is that each character has a free respec slot. You can only fit one respec in there. So, each issue they just re-fill the slot for everyone that's not filleed up yet :D

I started going through my characters yesterday to make them ED compliant. Think I messed up a bit on Head Rush, Practiced Brawler doesn't seem to quite overlap... :/

Otherwise it was pretty easy to shift things around.

Only character I'm really uncertain about is my Rad/Rad. Made a post on the defender boards for some build help. Hopefully I'll not completely gimp him.

Edit: Here's the thread if you got anything to add Poison :D http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3931275&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#3931275

[suburbanhell]

Yeah I'm concerned about my empath since I generally 6 slot heals...

[Poison]

You posted it on the official forum? We have a defender forum, too, you know? Without all the smartasses and general asses that are there. ;)

[Meltman]

Yeah, we have our own set.

[bpphantom]

Ditto. I dropped hasten and stamina and slotted 1 endred and 1 rech in each heal. My HO dropped from 850ish to 540ish. with mostly ++ or +3 enh in it.
The downtime on Regen and Recovery aura's is crazy long. On test I 3 slotted each with recharge and dropped Hasten entirely. 4 minute downtime between each after it wears off. So 90 seconds of feeling like 6 slotted stamina, followed by 4 minutes (240 seconds) of ick. Ah well. Thank god she's fiddy.

[Jade_Dragon]

I'm pretty sure I still have all my respecs. I probably won't need to use either the old one or the new one, as none of my characters are over 30. Even Blue Diamond, my main character that concentrates on Secondaries ahead of Primaries, doesn't have more than 5 slots in any power. (He MAY have 6 in Air Superiority. I'm not sure) So I should just be able to swap Enhancements around, I won't need to move slots.

Amusingly, though, I used Alan Midnight's respec last night because I planned to. I wanted him to have stealth from the beginning, so I took Stealth planning to respec out of it once he hit 20. And he just hit 20, so I used his respec, just in the nick of time. :D

What can I say? I'm an ass-man.

[Graphite]

Hmm, I never did pm a Dev my comments about ED... Thats likely a good thing.

Ugh..and mine is only 33... She'll be fun to level... Not. :grumble:

Phew. Thanks! I was considering reactivating the account tonight to avoid losing it. I only need one. I've had it all planned out with Hero Planner for a month now.

[Xanatos]

Mildly concerned that this is going to lvie so fast after being implemented. And that I6 doesn't give anything substantially new to none-CoV players. but those are just ideollogical gripes, and as such, shoudl be ignored.

Just respecced MC Xanatos...AGAIN.

[Emerald Sky]

Well, they added the new pvp zones, so in their eyes, that's new content that warranted a new issue. Hopefully I7 will have a lot more stuff.

I know they added new stuff. Just nothing I think it substantial enough to warrant it being called an "issue". It's more like the by-product of CoV.

[suburbanhell]

But Without this "issue" we don't have enh diversification, and we cannot access the new zones...so... I can see how they'd consider it an issue.

[Poison]

I just respecced Sabbath and hereby declare Super Reflexes officially dead.
I was running Focused Senses, Focused Fighting, Evasion, all 2 Cost Red, 3 Def, Dodge and Agile, each 3 slotted Def and Maneuvers, 1 Cost Red and 3 Def.
Got clobbered to half HP by 3 white Nemesis minions.
Got killed by 1 orange Fake Nemesis and 2 Sergeants.
My DoT was great, I was able to beat down the Fake just fine till he phase shifted (or whatever they do to be Unaffected). Then I got dropped.

I don't know how I am supposed to make 42-50.
Oh, and I'm not mentioning that although I had 1-2 Cost Red in every power and a 4 slotted Stamina, my end was running low after 3 mobs.

[MaligneFamily]

I'm fearing the worst for my Marrow Lash's recent respec, but sorry to hear about that Poison...

If you need help ever advancing him through the levels, Atom can help with a few levels if you want. SR and Rad combos work great.

That sucks man. This doesn't bode well for Tender Vittles, my Claws/SR scrapper :(

[MaligneFamily]

So any changes in I6 that make ED more doable?

You can now slot knockback on Power Blast and not feel guilty about waisting a slot.....
:shinner:

... and the masses shouted in joy...
