First Peacebringer Need Help

Hello, been reading the forums for help, and seeing that the majority rules that the Human form is supposed to be the uber, or at least that is my interpratation. However I have tried and I am not sure if this due to poor slotting or the fact that I solo more than team but my human form sucks, I don't understand what i am doing wrong. I can clear a room in nova form in little to no time with nothing but the original slots, however in Human form I have to go through all my endurance and all my powers two to three times just to kill one guy, help please.

I have yet to expierience Human form on a team, so if this is what you are talking about than i will try it.

any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.

RE: First Peacebringer Need Help

How high is your PB? Here is a guide I wrote on Kheldians. Human form isn't what I would call uber until the mid 20s or so. Until then I used squid form. By mid twenties though human did as good on blasts and better in everything else so I respeced out squid at that time. But until then it was the way I played.

Guardian
Avant Guard = Emp/Rad/Psychic Defender Lvl 50 (Dedicated Healer)
Astral Plane = Peacebringer Lvl 50
Spica = Fire/Em/Energy Tank Lvl 50 (Scranker)
Avant Spines = Spines/Regen Scrapper Lvl 50 (AOE King)
Beliskner = Eng/Eng Blaster Lvl 42 (Blapper)
Avant Kin = Ill/Kin Controller Lvl 39
BMG = AR/Dev Blaster Lvl 28
Avant Psy = Psychic Blast/Empathy Defender Lvl 20 (Offender)
Avant Def = Kinetics/Energy Blast Defender Lvl 16
Avant Stone = Stone/Storm Controller lvl 15 (Super Controller)
Umbral Plane = Warshade Lvl 14
Triumph
Lord Yu = MA/Regen Scrapper Lvl 24
Protector
T-99 = Ice/Ice Tanker Lvl 20
Electrostun = Electric/EM Blaster Lvl 21 (Sapper)
Starwolf = Katana/Inv Scrapper Lvl 18 (my very first toon, 3 1/2 years ago)
Pinnacle
Avant Claws = Claws/Regen Scrapper Lvl 18 (Non-power pool toon)
Champion
Avant Dragon = Fire/Fire Blaster Lvl 20
Freedom
Avant Arch = Archery/NRG Blaster Lvl 50

And many, many, many more....

yeah, I agree, human form becomes superior around 25 and SO's... as far as the PB goes (don't have a shade). Once you get a varience to your attacks, and have your shields up, you mow the mobs down. Only problem is endurance so get stamina for sure. With the dmg resist from the shields, you may do slightly less dmg than squiddy, but last much longer, also you get hover at lvl 10 i think it was and with that you can stay aloft, which is really the reason squiddies do so well.

Also, when teamed you get bonuses based on your team members architypes that do not effect squid or tank forms... thus empowering the human build.

RE: First Peacebringer Need Help

Yeah, cosmic balance is the great equalizer. And the way I kept happy was to make sure my attacks had the exact same damage and range and acc as my squid attacks in human form. thats what took until mid 20s. After that squid form was superfluous.

Also the one other thing you will find is that human form has NO mez protection whatsoever. The way to fix this is to get controllers on the team in human form. Two controllers makes you very resistant.

See this thread: http://cityofheroes.gameamp.com/forum/showTopic/54069.php

Peacebringers are of natural origin and thus can get Damage SOs at level 10. Get a supergroup mate or friend who has completed this story arc to buy you a bunch of level 13 damage SOs. Slot your Squid attacks with 3 slots each (loaded with the damage SOs). Slot your Squid-Form with a few To-Hit Buffs to boost the accuracy of your attacks.

Yeah, you go down quick, but you can cause some SERIOUS damage in squid form. Take down large groups of blues and greens for some serious experience.

RE: First Peacebringer Need Help

first of all thank you all for you responses and advice i really do appreciate it.

Irony is a funny thing, the first few times i read over some of the topics i missed that mid 20's thing (of course i was half asleep when i read them lol) I was just re-reading them before i came back here and was going to post a retraction to that on account of me being half asleep.

My guy is only a 15 right at the moment.

Ok since i got everyone's attention how successful could it be if I built the Human form for just scrapping and Nova for just blasting and Dwarf for just Tanking, is this impossible or just very difficult to do?

Again thank you all for your responses and advice.

**edit-wow i can't speeellll either lol

RE: First Peacebringer Need Help

You could, but why would you want to. As a nova and dwarf cosmic balance doesn't apply and neither does stamina, health, etc. Mine can scrap, blast and almost tank in human form. Give me a big diverse group and that is especially correct.

RE: First Peacebringer Need Help

I have lvl 50 PB-all human on freedom...very fun to play

I would suggest NOT to get Quantum Flight...it sux endurance like no other power in the game and in my opinion "worthless"

RE: First Peacebringer Need Help

You could build for a 3 form PB (your tank, blaster, scrap forms) but I wouldn't suggest it, its too much down time for the switches. Especially since you'll get build up and other powers that will aid dmg and output even more dmg through higher blasts and control (in human form) so this somewhat renders squid form obsolete. But hey, its all personal preference, and you have the power slots to do it with a PB (no epics, no need for travels) but slotting becomes nightmarish at best.

OK it's been a while since i started this, and I have played and got my PB to 17 and that is as far as i have gotten with it. Just curious does anyone else get superiorly consumed with frustration that a damn gray can one shot you. maybe this AT is not for me..

I do however want to thank all those that replied and offered advice.
