You can Attune an IO by using a Catalyzer on it.

Don't use enhancement catalysts unless you absolutely have to. The homecoming market turns every single set IO listed on it into an attuned version so just buy the attuned version in the first place and save yourself 4m inf.

I want to see someone slot one of the punches with knockback for maximum knockback, just to see how far you can send a dude flying.

Before the game poo poo down we would enemy teleport Hellions on to of buildings and then SS or EM them with 3 slotted KB.
They go FAR.

Your life's been thrown in disarray already--I wouldn't want you to feel pressured.


College Slice
KO Blow with three knockback SOs would regularly stick enemies in the ceiling of sewer hallways. At that much knockback, it stops being a damage tool and starts being an impromptu hold. A little impractical--it's not hard to lose a boss in the pipes running along the ceiling, and if he's a kill target you have to figure out how to get up there and kill him.

There was that one energy blaster move, nova I think, that would explode grey mobs hilariously far if slotted for it. I think they ended up nerfing it at some point.

I had forgotten how much fun knockdown in this game was. Playing a /storm mastermind is reminding me.

So my "Raining Men" name is already paying off. Had an Outcast boss yell "Stop Raining Men!" and it just makes me think he's getting frustrated with all the men I'm raining on him.

I've gotten the error in the past depending on from where I was accessing character customization. Some of my costumes straight up broke.
Have you tried accessing the character customizer through the other methods?

The trainer
The default tailor
and the cosmetic surgeon at the tailors that can adjust body shape

I think they have some weird distinction to them?
I remember not having access to some of the previously premium character customization pieces on some of them, but ended up being able to fix it by going for a different type of vendor that lets me access it. They probably just went and added all the premium pieces to the default character editor, but since none of us actually purchased these pieces the slightly different ways to access the menu breaks the options and access to these things.
At least that's my best guess.

The regen/end discount one only stacks to 5, lasts a while, and goes off pretty often, so you can pretty much throw that in anything as long as you're using it reasonably often. The Fury proc doesn't have any PPM listed so I've just been using it in my tier 2 attack since I also use that pretty frequently.

In general, I think Archery is the best of that lot, but only since Rain of Arrows is real good. Dual Pistols' would put you close up more often, so maybe there's probably better synergy there with the sword attacks. Just make sure to actually pick the No Redraw options unless you really hate yourself. :v:

You just reminded me about something I had completely forgotten about. Near the end, we had a ton of recipes for limited use stuff like guns and baseball bats. Are those even a thing on Homecoming? I haven't seen a single one drop yet. If they're available, you could keep remaking those guns whenever you use one up.

yeah but they'd be pretty weak since you can't slot them, could you

I guess Dual Pistols/Ninja is the closest you'd get to making Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series though

Yeah, all the craftable temp powers are on the P2W vendor. Most of them are pretty poo poo, but you've got stuff like the venom dagger that kills regen so you can solo AVs, or just jetpacks and things to get around.

I remember a lot of people asked for a dual pistols scrapper set so you could make a kick-rear end gunfu equilibrium character and the devs expressly said they would never make a melee set that revolved around ranged weapons.

I suppose the Martial secondaries for Blasters and Dominators were an attempt to do something like this. I haven't played any of them extensively but /Martial Blaster has been fun for the like four levels I've played it.

Does that /Martial super speed punch move look better in game than it does in the power customization menu? I heard the latest patch improved it, but it still looks like someone just went nuts with Microsoft paint.

Not really, no. Ya just gotta build it, sell it, and use the cash to buy the attuned version.
If the listing+selling fee is high enough, I guess that makes catalysts worth using.

I cannot for the life of me come up with a good name for my latest character.

A cyborg from the future, sent back to the past as an experiment. He's only supposed to be there an hour but due to erronious math is now stuck there for a century. He's found a way to get home sooner, by draining the excess energy of the temporal shift and use it to enhance his cybernetic defenses. So the more he fights, the sooner he can return home.

And I'm happy with everything EXCEPT THE drat NAME I cannot come up with anything good.

You are going to go archery/ninja.

Everyone is going to drop before they can land a single attack.

I was just, literally as I opened this thread seconds ago, reminding myself to tell a buddy of mine that loves that trial for easy merits that you don't need to get 7 pubbies to click the glowies at the same time.
