Dual Swords - Bio stalker is super fun. Am I missing something, or do you take basically all of the Bio moves? They all seem super useful.

I'm possibly unaware of some secret optimization tricks, but generally speaking the newest powersets have zero skippable (or at least out and out bad) powers for better or worse.

That is good to know, thank you. I thought I was crazy when making the build that I took everything.

What about the TW part?

e: Actually while I'm asking, how are sword / mace / axe? I need some kind of martial weapon for the theme i'm going with.

I heard Mace is pretty solid, but I am talking from memory so take it with a grain of salt.

Definitely a major quality of life improvement for powers like self heals that can make or break what you're jumping into for sure.

It makes the timing of pulls and popping cool downs soooooo much easier. I feel like if a lot of players use this there might be a nice boost in teams overall dps. I could just be dreaming though...

I want to start up doing a melee focused mostly human PB again but I cannot find any good recent guides about them. The one I am using is this: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/6824-youre-a-g-d-pb-guide/

Anyone else got experience with this kind of build? I had one wayyyyyy back in the day but I have no memory of what I built it like.

Also, Water/Atomic blasters are awesome. I did not hit max level yet (or even fully kit him out) but I am loving it.

Decided I wanted to make a new scrapper because the alts never end. Made a Titan/Energy scrapper.

I can't wait to level him up because he hits like a truck right now but suffers from the usual low level problem of, never enough energy.

I somehow managed to play on Homecoming for months and months without knowing about endurance enhancers that you slot into health for passive boosts. Panacea: +Hit Points/Endurance, Numina's Convalescence: +Regeneration/Recovery, and Miracle: +Recovery go into pretty much every character I make now and can be slotted at level 10, 20, and 30 along with Performance Shifter: Chance for +End in Stamina at level 21.

You can also run Death from Below (there's usually someone spamming for DFB or plenty of people willing to join if you go to the effort of making the group yourself) on a new/low level hero side character and pick the endurance bonus at the end which will last you up to level 20 IIRC. Failing all that, if you have money you can always buy blue inspirations at the local hospital, and homecoming's P2W vendor has an endurance restore temporary power I usually save for when I get end drained/recover from a death.

Oh yeah, why didn't I think about just buying those for him lol? I will do that when I get home, hopefully it will curb the endurance drain.

Yeah this all operates under the assumption that you have millions of influence to spend (Panacea is usually pretty pricy around 9 mil). I get around 100 mil every day or so if I bother to buy super packs and convert the ATOs into brute sets.

I have a farming character, so it might take a little bit of time but I can grind it out :).

What do you mean by the conversion thing? While I have been playing for awhile now the crafting system still confuses me a little :smith:.

In hindsight, I should have made my farming character on a different account so I could power level myself...

LordSaturn posted:

that poo poo never goes away, tbh

I think the idea is to buy super packs, and take the ATOs from them, and use them with Enhancement Converters to "convert within rarity" repeatedly until they come out as Brute ATOs, because those sell for enough more to be worth the cost/effort

Makes sense, that also explains why converters have such stable prices.

Where does one buy the super packs? The machine/person in the AH?

I for some reason thought super packs was referring to enhancements themselves and not the 30x converters :hotpickle:

Reddit posted:

Metalios and Zed have released a new version of Mids' Reborn for both Homecoming's Issue 27, Page Five, and Rebirth's Issue Four: 3.4.7.3. Please note that only Windows 10 and 11 are officially supported. If you are not using 3.4.6, there are several steps that you need to do:

1) Uninstall and delete Mids' Reborn completely. Wipe the folder clean.
2) Download and install the .NET 6 desktop runtime. You can obtain it here.
3) The built-in Windows ZIP archive extractor sucks. If you do not already have an archive extractor program (WinZip, 7-Zip, WinRAR, PeaZip, etc.), installed, then I recommend downloading and installing PeaZip. It's free and open source software. You can obtain that here.
4) Download Mids' Reborn and extract it into its own folder, whereever you want to put Mids' Reborn. For example, I personally have it in C:\Loaded Camel\Mids Reborn\ You can download it here.
Open Windows Explorer, right click MidsReborn.exe, and go to the Compatibility tab. Click "Change high DPI settings" towards the bottom. Then follow the screenshot. Once done, click "OK." Enjoy.

Known issues:

Exporting builds to forums is borked. Until it is fixed, go to File > Export > Forum Export > Yes > Data Chunk, and select "Only export Data Chunk"
Sentinel Ranged_Damage and Melee_Damage modifiers have been changed for Sentinel, but not the powers scales. Damage may be off.
This update contains most of the revamps for Masterminds that could be done but not the revamp of the pets' powers due to some limitations (e.g. critical hit chance increase for Ninjas)
The Pet Powers window is broken.
