I'll be rolling a ice/time/power Corr... Aim + power build up + time crawl + time stop + freeze ray means i can hold bosses, and down them in record time. Plus Time distortion will make blizzard and ice storm that much more awesome, as things wont be able to run out of them at all.

I don't know about you, but my blasters aren't nearly squishy enough to die to a full group of mobs as quick as you seem to be thinking.

Soul drain will be amazing on melee blasters, which you can very easily pull off with capping lethal/smash defense, and chewing inspirations.

Oh, and Neutron bomb, takes 1.848 seconds to animate... Yea the giant ball takes awhile to travel, but its still boosted by the damage of Soul drain, allowing you plenty of time to move around. Irradiate takes 1.32 seconds to animate, which is about half the time Fire sword Circle and combustion take to animate. Yeah, the DoT takes 4.6 seconds to run its course, but again, its still being fueled by Soul drain.

You could also Soul drain -> PBAoE nuke -> blue -> Dark consumption (i think /dark gets that) then and use the buff from Soul drain to keep throwing out high damage attacks...

While BU doesn't build any aggro, it only lasts 10 seconds. Soul Drain, lasts 30 seconds, and can reach the numbers you could get from BU.. and you can even perma it (assuming you keep it at the target cap)

my girlfriend thinks #57 is a Cylon... ya know, before they went all skin toned and copying people.

After a quick google search, i think shes right.

Also #116 is the robot from the Droid phones, the smiley one you see all the time on commercials.

oh, and #130 is Serge from Caprica


My girlfriend's making me edit this post every time she finds a new robot. I love her so much and all her nerdy-ness.

Usually what i do on the BAF is i have 2 people per door (on a 16+ group) and the rest cover roads. That way if anything escapes the doors (i like controllers on doors, damage on roads) its usually taken some damage, and can be killed easy.

Its about an 90% success rate for the extra astral, but again, astrals are only as useful as the threads/items they convert into..

But i would still convert all astrals into threads, or just stockpile them in the event they add something to convert threads into the next currency, or allow you to use astrals to convert into the next tier.

On the container/crate section, i just have everyone nuke the crate/containment. Ignore the adds and just go. You can't clear the map, and most of the patrol adds respawn anyways, so instead of trying to fight a timer, and debt, just cruise through the phase and get to beating on Marauder. You'll get more iXP and an extra astral from taking out your bent up aggression on the adds that spawn with Marauder then you would be trying to clear every group at the crate/containers.

Well i'm planning on making a DM/SR scrapper, then a Street justice something or another (prolly willpower, or invuln) then a staff/willpower for sure, and now i wanna roll a mace/EA.. I need more character slots....

More or less what johnny said, except most of the massive, unresistable mechanics can be avoided (anti matter is the only one that really can't, but his time stop hold is on a timer, so it only happens a few times throughout the fight)

Basically, the trials are something entirely new to what we had before. Its not quite tank and spank, but its not like 'run around like a chicken with its head cut off' either. Organized Chaos is probably the best way to describe some of the trials.

And the 'MMs have it the worst' is really dependent on who you ask. My bot/traps/mu can pretty much solo crates/containment chambers, and survive long enough for her pets to show up (as you'll likely out run them) thus increasing her survival even more. Almost all of the Avs AOEs do about 50% damage to pets (thus benefiting Bodyguard mode usage) and the massive unresistable damage types either completely unaffect pets (like Marauder's nova fist) or do very little actual damage (the towers in BAF)

If you don't like you don't having to resummon a few pets every once in awhile, you'll hate the trails because the trash mobs will kill your pets pretty quickly if your not paying attention, but all in all MMs have it much easier then other ATs due to the reduced damage, and immunity to most mechanics that was bestowed to their pets.

Darn it, i already have enough alts i want to make. Stop making me wanna roll a strong and pretty Scrapper too...

Only thing i can think of is the MFing Warshade guide.. with Deux should most here shortly

Hi Ultimus! Not sure if you'll remember me or not, but I'm glad your back. Your the main reason i swapped to Mu master on my bot/traps (that, and they unlocked Patron Pools, so you can respec into different ones now, and pick any of them no matter what contact you run)

If my napkin math is correct, a decent build earth/time/power controller should be able to AoE control entire AV groups due to stacking holds from Volcanic gases, Time disruption, and time stop as well as fossilize and stoney..

Once you perma Chrono, you'll get perma hasten, triple stacked Time disruption, and perma Volcanic gases.. which means more holds and control then you'll know what to do with. Add power boost to make your single target holds last longer, and all the debuffs from both earth/ and /time and it'll be a pretty nasty combination.

Actually currently the brute version doesn't have enhanceable -regen resistance in fast healing, so the 29.95% is just base... not sure if its intended or not though.

I know nothing! ... Especially when Hazy wasn't really doing anything to cause you to post after him.

Oh, and while i would love a red side Hami raid, i just don't have time for it And i know for a fact MMs wouldn't be able to tank hami. All of the attacks are AoEs.. and unresistable, and usually have some pretty nasty KB or -heal/-regen. All things that make MMs cry..

Having perma Chrono Shift will help with the endurance drain that spamming /time could cause. granted, with a lot of end reduction slotting, or the cardiac alpha boost, you can manage your endurance without relying on Chrono shift.

I just know on my ice/time corr, on just SOs, i was basically rotating between Conserve power and Chrono shift to keep my endurance above flat lining...

It could just be the combo. and the mobs he's fighting a lot. Council seem to pack a TON of robots in that level range (mech men, hover thingys, etc) and Psi damage does about 50% less to robotic types. Try going after say Crey.. i don't think they have any psi resistance at all..
