So CoH keeps crashing on me - what to do except scour the messageboards?
I found this neat little page of tables that gives some hard numbers on the benefits of different enhancements:

Give it a read, it's worth it.

What video card/drivers you running Drol? that was my initial problem with CoH... but after removing my overclocked omega drivers for my 9700pro and making sure they were gone, the catalyst drivers were running fine for me.

bah geoshitties, exceeded bandwidth...
Anyway, one of his conclusions (and his math looks sound) is that the best DPS combo for enhancers is - regardless of enhancement type - always gotten with a max of 1 accuracy enhancer.
That is:
2 enhancements
Dps of: 1 dam 1 acc > 2 dam > 2 acc
3 enhancements
Dps of: 2 dam 1 acc > 3 dam > 1dam 2 acc > 3 acc
4 enhancements
Dps of: 3 dam 1 acc > 4dam > 2dam 2 acc > 3acc 1dam > 4 acc
etc etc.

Playing min/max sucks the fun out of the game.

It's still nice to know - I don't consider maximizing potential of enhancers detrimental to fun of the game, for me that's reserved for overplanning of character powers (defensive juggernaut anyone?).
On all my chars, damage dealing powers have been the ones I've been most concerned about slotting *right* - damage only? accuracy? what about end reduction, recharge?
Shrug, I thought it was decent info!
