I loved this game when it was out originally but I was young and didn't understand. I played a lot when homecoming became public but I rarely get to end game in mmos and didn't dedicate the time. You and darkcurrent and other youtubers making videos IN 2024 are helping me fully learn and enjoy the content of one of my favorite games. What a wild timeline. Thank you and keep going!
Must be tanker week. I just finished my ice/ice tank lastnight. I wondered where people were getting the superior sets now I know lol. Good stuff Wednesday.
I have a Dark/Dark tank too, that I just love. She is so much fun to play and she is tankie (tanky?). Very different build from yours, but almost exact same resistances to S/L, N/Psi
I have a Dark/Energy Melee tank that focuses on stacking stuns from Energy Melee attacks with the Oppressive Gloom aura. The revamped Energy Melee hits like a truck and stun stacking help smooth out incoming damage quite a lot. Like the music btw.
So, i highly recommend Leadership Tactics. Especially if you have pets or run in teams. But GSFC proc has a chance to trigger for any and all pets/and allies. Bcuz of that all my toons have Tactics with GSFC proc.
I am also less than plussed by narrowing of build variety, due to the massive amountof debuffs that high level mobs now have. I guess they had a choice of making new enemy groups or just lowering the ceiling. good thing death is largely without consequence!
I used to play city of heroes way back in the 2000s, but I was always a major altaholic and my highest level was a 32 empathy/electric defender. Tried it a little bit during the free to play era later and then the servers went offline. I dabbled in homecoming a little bit, but got distracted. you're making me want to jump back in and try to get someone to end game.
It's only this year I realized how important procs are because of videos like this. Half the time I wonder if I'm not slotting the right enhancements in the sets, or just not activating the powers in the right order. Weirdly enough button-smashing isn't cutting it anymore.
okay before I even get into the rest of the video, what is the name of that song! it's great! okay so I had to search that song and now it's on my playlist so thank you for that!! it's fun to see you being all into your toon! I hope your blaster build is next...I love me some blasters! peace last follow up...had to share this video with a friend for the song and Wednesdays' voice...I love it! anyway, carry on fellow harbingers of Woe!
I also love the dark/dark tank, but I struggle because it uses so much end. How do I manage the end use until I get to 50 and can use all of the IOs and stuff? Also, i really need to learn about enhancements
the main things are to get Performance Shifter/Numina’s/Miracle procs slotted as soon as possible, along with Theft of Essence Proc in Dark Regeneration. if you can’t slot sets yet, or just don’t have the funds, dedicating a slot in every attack to endurance reduction can make a big difference.
I have (so far) one character on each of the 5 servers. None of them have back stories. Except for a blaster with water blast/ice manipulation where I said something like "I think I ate too much seaweed as a child." But that's it. So my question would be....where do you find inspiration for the back stories of your characters? They are very creative and wonderful to discover, so I was wondering how you came up with them. Thanks.
I'll say for me I need a back story or I cannot play a toon. Sometimes it comes from a costume. Other times from powers. I have funny and serious ones. Couple quick examples:: Elec/Energy aura brute, Technology, he built a suit to help him punch bad dudes. Suit malfunctioned giving him electric power instead of super strength. Fire/time corruptor, mutation, he was a speedster trying to prove himself the fastest alive. Overextended himself, caught on fire and warped space/time and mutated his powers.He uses a suit to fly around and learn his new powers. Elec/marine corr, was in diving suit underwater, electric eel zapped his suit and it shocked him and filled with water. He mutated but out of the water MUST be in his suit or he'll die. Just make something up. I had a LONG time ago a dude called number 2 boy. He was a sidekick to a toon I pug with pee man. My dude number 2 boy was stone melee(all brown) radiation armor. He was high or drunk and ate a turd covered in radioactive goo. Now he has powers. So many good backstories to be had. Good luck
Love the intro, absolutely awesome!

Keep the intros going! Very well done!!! Adds a little spice to the video =)
Awesome! That music makes me think of Siouxie and the Banshees and love the dark skull, lady death look.
Totally love the Intro! It put a big smile on my face, thanks!
That intro is perfect.
Dude....this is my favorite character of yours Weds, she's awesome! Great video!

F*ckin Awesome Intro... Keep up the good work. You are rocking it!!
Noice!
oh this is fire. intro slapped.
The other heal set you're thinking of is preventative medicine
I am wanting to give dark/ dark tankers another try.
I used to play city of heroes way back in the 2000s, but I was always a major altaholic and my highest level was a 32 empathy/electric defender.

Do it. Also atlitis is a crazy drug.

Same to be honest. My general understanding is that the best place for procs is going to be single target attacks, or AoE with longish cooldowns.
i have a dark dark brute that is Bonedaddy's Girl she's a take on the skull and sally from Nightmare Before such a great toon and combo
okay before I even get into the rest of the video, what is the name of that song! it's great!
okay so I had to search that song and now it's on my playlist so thank you for that!! it's fun to see you being all into your toon!
I hope your blaster build is next...I love me some blasters!
peace
last follow up...had to share this video with a friend for the song and Wednesdays' voice...I love it!
anyway, carry on fellow harbingers of Woe!
Boy Harsher “Pain”
@@wednesdaywoeplays I must have listened to it 10 times already!
Gonna listen to the album as I head home
Woefully indebted to this fun channel!
Cool intro
"f*cking crash butt game" hahaha classic. Also FFFFFFFF!
I agree with you about the story arcs/mishs/rewards. Mostly bad.
I also love the dark/dark tank, but I struggle because it uses so much end. How do I manage the end use until I get to 50 and can use all of the IOs and stuff? Also, i really need to learn about enhancements

See my problem with Dark Dark Tanks is...I can't build one that doesn't drink End like a starving vampyr.

Pretty sure I saw your speedster the other day 😂
What is the song name?
boy harsher pain
No extra slots in stamina on a Dark/Dark? That's hardcore. I used to bring a defender with me just for stamina.
Is this game more active than dc? I’ve been wanting to try this game out before grinding dc out
DCUO? I would guess probably. Excelsior server has the highest pop and I have no trouble finding or making teams at pretty much any time of day.
Machinima??? Now you've gone too far!
I had to double-take at the name... did she say Carnal? Or was that Charnel?
