what is the best maintain attack?

[Ttv/ Brayan Summers]

i tried kinetic assault, soul beam and concusive beam but they all seem to be VERY weak, what is the best one out of these three? or is there any other that is better? any advice?

[Kostro-Veniamin]

Good question honestly,it used to be Two gun's mojo but I prefer to think that it got nerfed rather than reworked,I have nothing to say.I'd like to know the answer to that question too!

I have a PA with Concussive Beam (I think - it's the Hand Slot with both hands to 100' insead of one hand to 50' AOE), Eye Beams and Chest Beam/Laser (the 100' AOE not the 50' one). Running all three drains my energy banks (my SS END is in the mid-100s and my SS INT is 300+ which is still low). I can run one power followed by another alternately, usually to build the stacks of Concentration.

I also target different weak mobs in my forward arc with different beams when my vanilla Avalanche (not enough points) isn't enough to kill them all.

Personally, I like the new Assault Rifle (munitions). Mobile Linear AoE. Maintain, move, sit / alternate with Gatling Gun. Move, maintain and sit again, depending on the shape of the mob blob.

That thing that rains down fire kills all.

Since i have ego as my primary damage asset, concusive beam seems to be very. LIKE VEYR weak. compared to lightning arc. it's a baby skill. if ego is not the damage that concusive beam benefits form, what superstat does benefit it form?

Power Armor is meant to have 2 to 3 powers all firing off at once to accumulate damage.
Power Armor can be built into either one of the most damaging DPS builds or some of the most effective tanks depending what passives and such you slot.

makes perfect sense, i was kind of dissapointed in its damage. thanks for the clarification! :)

Tanking endgame in CO and power armor actually does not work well given how frequently you'll need to block (about once per 1.5 seconds) and the way power armor toggles work and take about half a second to activate once you press the button...

That's what damage sink tanks are for. PA's roles usually switch to ranged damage and their defenses are usually to shrug off damage that would kill a glass cannon.

For me the game is too difficult. I do have 4 Freeform slots but all i can make is a mess. I fail even the easiest missions. Can somebody give me an advice for a easy to play AT or Freeform build ? Thank you

ARC forums' has some recommendations.

You can also sign in with any character and start asking CO's Zone (zone chat) for tips.

IDK about you, but the ATs are "okay" (not great) but as starting seeds for a framework, they are good. You learn from how an AT is built, then you branch out to other powers as needed (using FF).

Trying to run before you walk is probably why you have a mess of four un-desired FF slots.

Problem is: for me the game is really too difficult. No matter what AT or Freeform i try, the opponents just steamrolled me at the normal difficulty. And that is going for about two years.So the game makes no fun for me.I have tryed some builds from proboard but nothing works. And in the game i am the most hated person for that and sure nobody will help me bacause i am on everybodys ignore list. I am at a point to delete the game from my pc and will look for another.

[Alrik]

I have quitted the game and send a request for accountdeletion to Arc. Thank you vor advice everyone.

I don't think you're supposed to be playing alone on some missions. Story missions are the hardest at the start (you have scheisse gear).

Talo Takedown is almost impossible alone (unless you are a tank) early on.

If you are being ignored in Zone, there's probably a reason that may be beyond simply sh!t-posting.

[Alrik]

I am german and understand. But what i dont understand is: It seems most others can make nearly everything solo and level to 40. And sure nobody will play with me in a team. But my first problem is to find an AT or a freeform build for a good char and that really is impossible if you want to make a themed build or char. Oh and for the gear: You are absolutly right. The gear i use is ♥♥♥♥. And you know why ? Because all you can get from missions is ♥♥♥♥. And that makes things even more harder.

[ZeeHero]

I have never had trouble on Talos takedown on any character, or with Kevin Poe. However I have encountered a bad glitch which affects characters who play the tutorial which denies them their basic starter gear...

[ZeeHero]

I can imagine having issues if someone doesn't know how to block.
