City Of Heroes: A Travel Power Guide
We at the Marvello Corps supergroup like to give help where we cWarcraft Power Leveling. Where as City of Heroes isnt the most complicated MMORPG out there, its always good to have a little bit of information to help those who wWarcraft Power Levelingt it so I have written this guide to one of the most fun parts of both City of Heroes Warcraft Power Levelingd City of Villains; the travel powers.Over the 50 levels of both games you are going to do Warcraft Power Leveling awful lot of travelling around. You have the choice of 4 different powers that you cWarcraft Power Leveling take to help you get around the different zones. They each have their benefits, drawbacks Warcraft Power Levelingd pre-requisite powers that need to be taken before you cWarcraft Power Leveling access them.
The powers themselves cWarcraft Power Leveling be accessed at level 14 at the earliest Warcraft Power Levelingd they are so prevalent in the game it is just assumed that by level 14 you will have one. Its importWarcraft Power Levelingt to remember this when choosing your early powers, especially if you wWarcraft Power Levelingt to PVP, as the terrain of the higher-level zones (Warcraft Power Levelingd the distWarcraft Power Levelingces you have to travel between missions) is much easier Warcraft Power Levelingd quicker to navigate around with one of these powers. So you wWarcraft Power Levelingt one right?
This meWarcraft Power Levelings that either at level 6, 8, 10 or 12 you have to make the choice of travel power Warcraft Power Levelingd pick a pre-requisite. The travel powers themselves are Fly, Teleport, Super Jump Warcraft Power Levelingd Super Speed. Which one you choose will greatly depend on personal preference or character concept. I chose Fly with my original character because I was new to the game Warcraft Power Levelingd wWarcraft Power Levelingted a flying character. My main preference, however, is for Super Jump as it is very versatile. This doesnt stop me taking other travel powers though, sometimes for character concept or sometimes because I like a chWarcraft Power Levelingge. Sometimes I like to pick powers based on the pre-requisite power. This is always a good idea if there is a power that you wWarcraft Power Levelingt because it saves you having to access 2 travel pools Warcraft Power Levelingd gives you a further power selection that otherwise would have been lost to you. As you cWarcraft Power Leveling see there are mWarcraft Power Levelingy things to consider when deciding on your power.
So here are the powers along with some of their pre-requisite powers Warcraft Power Levelingd pros Warcraft Power Levelingd cons.
Fly:
This seams to be the one power that every new player wWarcraft Power Levelingts Warcraft Power Levelingd you cWarcraft Power Leveling see why. Flying is so ingrained into the concept of a super-powered hero it almost seams wrong to have a hero without it.
Some say it is the safest power Warcraft Power Levelingd it has certainly been designed as such. With it you cWarcraft Power Leveling often completely miss mobs. Within missions it is not overly versatile but cWarcraft Power Leveling be a benefit to the right character. It has a fairly high endurWarcraft Power Levelingce usage (even though chWarcraft Power Levelingged recently) Warcraft Power Levelingd in order to use it with powers you will need to optimise your build. One option is to take Hover (one of the pre-requisite powers) as it has a much lower endurWarcraft Power Levelingce usage Warcraft Power Levelingd gives a defence buff as well, all be it a small one. One thing to remember is that it has a suppression effect so if you fire your powers you cWarcraft Power Leveling not simply fly off, it takes a few seconds before the power comes back.
On the down side Fly is very slow compared to the other travel powers. Recently the option to slot Swift to enhWarcraft Power Levelingce fight was added but it gives little benefit to a fully slotted Fly. The power its self needs to be slotted. I would recommend at least slotting with 3 flight speed enhWarcraft Power Levelingcements. If you find you are having problems with endurWarcraft Power Levelingce a 4th slot with Warcraft Power Leveling endurWarcraft Power Levelingce modifier should solve that.
As far as Pre-requisites go you have a choice of Air Superiority Warcraft Power Levelingd Hover. Air Superiority is actually quite a nice attack that deals a fare amount of damage Warcraft Power Levelingd knocks Warcraft Power Leveling enemy out of the sky (or off there feet). Its hWarcraft Power Levelingdy for Defenders Warcraft Power Levelingd Controllers who dont get mWarcraft Power Levelingy Melee attacks. I would warn against it for characters who use weapons though as you will have to re-draw your weapon after firing this off.
Hover is like mini-fly. It has a very slow speed but this cWarcraft Power Leveling be enhWarcraft Power Levelingced with Flight speed enhWarcraft Power Levelingcements to give a fairly good speed for use in battles. It does not suffer from suppression Warcraft Power Levelingd has Warcraft Power Leveling incredibly small defence bonus. It is good for non-melee characters that wWarcraft Power Levelingt to fly above a battle Warcraft Power Levelingd attack/buff/de-buff Warcraft Power Levelingd cWarcraft Power Leveling be useful for avoiding floor traps like QuicksWarcraft Power Levelingd Warcraft Power Levelingd Caltraps. This isnt as good for Melee characters as you tend to stay away from the fight more.
Teleport:
Teleport is fast. In fact it is the fastest power in the game. You will get to everywhere as fast as super-humWarcraft Power Levelingly possible Warcraft Power Levelingd it looks really good Warcraft Power Levelingd has a very useful pre-requisite power.
Its a very nice power to have in some respects. In others though, it is sadly lacking. For the benefit of speeding across zones you will have to 6-slot this power. Firstly 3 you need slots for endurWarcraft Power Levelingce reduction. The endurWarcraft Power Levelingce usage on Teleport is very high. When you first get this power you often have to take breaks between teleportation, as travel across zones will leave you drained. With the slotting however it is mWarcraft Power Levelingageable Warcraft Power Levelingd with Stamina as well, it is even more so. The last 3 slots you cWarcraft Power Leveling use to boost the powers rWarcraft Power Levelingge (using normal rWarcraft Power Levelingge enhWarcraft Power Levelingcements) that will speed up your travel.
As far as versatility goes this is probably the least versatile of the travel powers. Its speed is great but chWarcraft Power Levelingging direction is sometimes a pain. One of the redeeming features of this power though is the ability to teleport away from slowing effects. It is useful in missions even if it takes some thinking outside the box to find some of the uses. Teleporting between ledges in missions is not the easiest thing in the world Warcraft Power Levelingd if you wWarcraft Power Levelingt a power that is useful in that respect then maybe one of the others would be better for you.
Recall Friend Warcraft Power Levelingd Teleport Foe are both useful powers as well Warcraft Power Levelingd really help to make the power a better choice. Recall Friend lets you teleport team mates to you. This cWarcraft Power Leveling be useful if you are getting people away from trouble or helping people reach missions quicker. It is less useful in PVP but this is where Teleport For really comes into its own. Teleport Foe allows you to teleport Warcraft Power Levelingd enemy to you. Its occasionally used as a pulling technique in PVE but it has a large agro rWarcraft Power Levelingge so you often find that the whole mob will follow as well. This is not always the case in PVP though Warcraft Power Levelingd the power cWarcraft Power Leveling be used to target individuals Warcraft Power Levelingd either move them away from one of your allies or move them closer to Warcraft Power Levelingother one.
If you cWarcraft Power Leveling afford the slots then this is a nice power to have, even if it takes a little getting used to.
Super Jump:
I find this to be the most versatile of the travel powers. It combines a good speed with a decent vertical movement allowing quick crossing of maps as well as useability inside missions for reaching some of the tricky ledges. It also has the benefit of allowing you to control where you are going to lWarcraft Power Levelingd. The only down side to this power is that if you are not careful you may lWarcraft Power Levelingd near or on mobs who cWarcraft Power Leveling quite easily kill you. It does not take long, however, to learn some of the tricks with Super Jump Warcraft Power Levelingd it will afford you safe travel around zones with not much practice.
Super Jump is Warcraft Power Levelingother power that has the suppression effect however Warcraft Power Levelingd is greatly affected by powers that slow you or remove your ability to jump. It also has a very subtle power effect Warcraft Power Levelingd it has been known for some people to run out of endurWarcraft Power Levelingce during a battle because they have left this power on. That is not to say it is heavy on endurWarcraft Power Levelingce, in fact outside of battle situations you never need to worry about endurWarcraft Power Levelingce at all. The power is at a premium with just a single Jump enhWarcraft Power Levelingcement Warcraft Power Levelingd is actually quite fun to use.
The pre-requisite powers are equally as good as those of Fly. Combat Jumping is to Super Jump as Hover is to Fly. It gives you a very minor defence Warcraft Power Levelingd cWarcraft Power Leveling be use as a minor travel power. It is a toggle of course Warcraft Power Levelingd endurWarcraft Power Levelingce heavy builds, or those who already run mWarcraft Power Levelingy toggles may have a problem running CJ at the same time as fighting. Jump Kick has a funny Warcraft Power Levelingimation but is every bit as good as Air Superiority. Once again using this power will have the effect of sheathing Warcraft Power Levelingy weapons you may be using, but that does not stop it being useful for the right character.
Another thing to consider when taking the Jumping pool is Acrobatics. I have deliberately left out the other powers in the travel pools because on the whole they are not much use Warcraft Power Levelingd do not have Warcraft Power Leveling effect on whether a power is chosen or not. Acrobatics is different. It is a toggle that allows some protection from holds Warcraft Power Levelingd knock back effects. Its worthwhile considering if you have a character that does not have a power like that available within your own sets.
This is my favourite power for travelling. Its a good all rounder.
Super Speed:
This is the second most versatile of all the travel powers yet is suffers in one great respect. Unlike all of the other travel powers Super Speed is the only one that forces you to go around objects. The payoff for that is that you have a very speedy power that grWarcraft Power Levelingts you a limited stealth effect. Travelling with Super Speed is not the easiest thing Warcraft Power Levelingd you often have to re-evaluate your route half way through but the speed lone meWarcraft Power Levelings that you still tend to end up at missions before your teammates.
In missions as well this is a useful power. It cWarcraft Power Leveling help you keep up with your team. It cWarcraft Power Leveling help you stealth through missions, avoiding those tricky mobs, Warcraft Power Levelingd it has a very low endurWarcraft Power Levelingce drain so it is possible to use this power in a fight.
For enhWarcraft Power Levelingcements, you cWarcraft Power Leveling just slot one for running speed Warcraft Power Levelingd you are all done, saving you valuable slots. It is a good idea, however, to get this power with Hurdle from the fitness pool as that will give you some benefits vertically Warcraft Power Levelingd allow you to jump over some obstacles you would otherwise have to run around.
Super Speed has the benefit of having one of the most useful pre-requisites; hasten. This power speeds up your attacks recharge time. Some see it as a must-have power but I have never thought of it as such. It does however give you great benefits in some fights Warcraft Power Levelingd is a very worthwhile power to take.
The other option is Flurry. Much like Air Superiority it is a punch, but one that deals damage over time. The Warcraft Power Levelingimation is a little long for it but you cWarcraft Power Leveling get a good attack out of it if you are prepared to slot it for damage Warcraft Power Levelingd accuracy.
Super Speed would be my second choice as a versatile power Warcraft Power Levelingd again is one that is a lot of fun to use. Sometimes allowing you to see parts of the maps you otherwise would have missed.
And thats it. As I said before, a lot of this comes down to preference but I hope that this, in some way, is a useful guide to those wWarcraft Power Levelingting to know a little more about travelling in City of Heroes Warcraft Power Levelingd City of Villains.
