Anyone know if Roles effect pet damage/healing? I'm making a pokemaster and plan on using medical nanites with IDF to make my horde basically invincible, so I'm wondering if I should be in sentinel or guardian. Also, if one is going petmaster for pure damage would the +damage aura or +stats aura be better?

As for whether role affects pet damage... you know, I have no idea. Time to go test.  In general it shouldn't really matter though; stuff will cost so much once you have five or six pets out that you'll be energy building most of the time while they scythe through whatever's in your way.

Pet scaling sucks anyway, so even if roles do affect damage it's probably negligible.

The only decent petmaster builds I've seen have been primal majesty or radiant protection, in terms of auras. The ebon aura is just generally not worth it. With the hit to your energy costs a circle of arcane whatever becomes a pretty appealing option, too. I strongly urge you to r3 your support drones ASAP. They went from mostly useless, disposable, only good when overtuned to pretty goddamn awesome with the pet pass.

The situations they have trouble are either when there's a lot of AoE damage being thrown about (they share the pet AoE damage resistance, but they aren't very durable) or if you're in a large group (public or not) or other situation where they may focus elsewhere than you. But it's not like they're hard to resummon either, so hey. The only major downside beyond that is the aforementioned pet scaling one, but as noted they're so good it usually doesn't really matter.

Also added that weapon draw macro to the OP. (And if there's any Cryptic devs reading this through some unlikely event, give Force Cascade the same disadvantage Gigabolt does. The current energy form-stripping one renders it semi-useless, and keeps the set from catching up to the other energy sets.) EDIT: Also looks like an upcoming set will be... Avian Warrior! Best start on all your bird-related pun names now, get them out of your system. No, someone already thought of "Doctor Hoot".

The best part is that you could put the duck head in a bubble helm. Edit: The visual for IDF under DX11 is really cool, but quickly gets annoying. Several visual effects also can't be turned on at the same time as AA, while they can in DX9. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Aug 6, 2011 |

I lean over and whisper passionately into your ear, "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" On the subject, last time I logged into find myself staring at a wolf with all the body sliders at max and using the growth device in a loincloth named "MACRO". Literally the only thing I will ever know about that guy is his weird sexual fetish and his inability to even play an MMO without indulging in it. Goddamnit.

I'm going to guess female. There are some freakishly disgusting musclegirl fetishists in CO coughAthenacough. Those and the thalidomide victims (the good Cap'n excluded) makes my eye twitch.

So can you mix and match different flavors of the same base type? If I have Mom's Basement, can I pick up the High-Tech Basement and then use the hologram thing or wall-mounted weapon case in the otherwise crummy looking basement hangout? Or is everything locked to it's own 'set'? It'd pretty much be perfect for my inventor hero to live in a lovely basement but still have high-tech stuff there.

Is there a horse head? I'm almost tempted to make a horrible muscle horse-lady thing ala Homestuck. "I LOVE BEING STRONG."

Not yet, but the blog post with the Avian Warrior designs reveals that CO is caving in to the furries. If I had to guess, I'd say that this is because the people behind CO saw City of Heroes bring out animal heads and get a bunch of new players from it and decided to get in on that action. Terrible or not, a market's a market. BiggerJ fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Aug 8, 2011 |

The uh, conversation earlier here reminds me of something I've mentioned in game before. Namely, how when you find some "sexy gurl" costume that's obviously done by a guy, bustiers and bare skin and all that stuff, take a good look at the character's face. More often than not, even with costumes that otherwise look like their creator spent a lot of time on them, the face is some sort of horrible derpy downs-mutant  with widely-set eyes, a too-tiny nose, enormous fish mouth, and all sorts of similar things. Part of this is due to the default settings for female faces being horrible, but it isn't that hard to make a good looking one, and it shows either the creator's complete artistic ineptitude, or the fact they were focused... elsewhere while making it.You can occasionally see hilarious results with other sliders too. I don't just mean maxing out the titometer, but also things like maxing out the hips slider without quite understanding that it is not, in fact, the counterpoint to the boob slider. It's absolutely loving hilarious.
