  3. Hmm, thanks for your comments. Perhaps remove the two TP powers for Stealth and Super Speed, seeing as I was taking Hasten already..

    The biggest problem with Human form is its very susceptible to knock back, which is rife in the higher levels, so you may also consider working in Acrobatics

    [/ QUOTE ] Wouldn't Peacebringer Combat Flight work at protecting knockback/down, seeing as it just makes you spin?
  5. I'm no stranger to Electric Blast, but the thought of coupling it with Fire Manipulation has been intriguing me. Normally they say it's Fire/Fire for AoE goodness, but thinking about it, Fire Breath requires positioning in order to hit maximum targets, which in the heat of battle may not be possible.

    With Elec/Fire, there would be four click AoE damage powers: Ball Lightning, Short Circuit, Combustion and Fire Sword Circle. Add to this Blazing Aura and Hot Feet, and Teleport to get you into the middle of the group, things look interesting. The idea behind Arctic Mastery is for Snow Storm, cast that on the group, and along with Hot Feet slowing them down it should trap people for burn and in range of the PBAOE damage toggles.

    Viable/not viable/off her trolly?

    Epic powersets

    I don't have anywhere else to put those slots. I abstained from the melee power path with Zortel, works fine for me, my clicks are slotted 3 recharge, and my attacks are all six slotted, well, apart from Power Push. The rest of the slots go into my Force Epic, and anything else I can think of. Like... Rest! Plus FoN will help with all those little things like soloing EB's without having to chug as many oranges and purples. (I'm looking at you, Envoy!)
  7. Really? I say it Scra-pa-poc-alypse.
  8. Peeled and mushed up and put in apple pie. One last one for the night, yes, I said that before.

    Soft Cell's Tainted Love.

    Sometimes I feel I've got to
    Run away I've got to
    Get away
    From the debt that you drive into the exp bar of me
    The exp we share
    Seems to go nowhere
    And I've lost my fight
    For I stagger and stall and faceplant all night

    (chorus)
    Once I ran to late (I ran)
    Now I'll run real soon
    This twisted debt you've given
    I repaid all the exp I could give you
    Take my leveling and that's not nearly all
    Oh... twisted debt
    twisted debt

    Now I know I've got to
    Run away I've got to
    Get away
    You don't really want any more from me
    BF's make things right
    You need to stop holding me tight
    And you'll think exp is to pay
    But I'm sorry I don't play that way

    (chorus...)

    Don't touch me please
    I cannot stand the way you tease
    I hate you as you hurt leveling so
    Now I'm going to quit my character and go
    Twisted Debt, Twisted Debt (x2)
    Faceplant my char, Twisted Debt (x2)
    Twisted Debt (x3)
  9. And you said the same thing about the 'What do you look like' thread. Besides, it gives me a place to stick all the random brain twisting my mind does to songs when playing CoH.
  10. And the last one of the night, and of my nerfing ones, Pet Shop Boy's Always on My Mind.

    Maybe I didn’t treat you quite as good as I should
    Maybe I didn’t buff you quite as often as I could
    Little fixes I should’ve said and done, I never took the time
    You were always on my mind
    You were always on my mind

    Maybe I didn’t reply to you all those lonely, lonely times
    And I guess I never told you, hard numbers 'bout the game
    If I made you feel second best, I’m so sorry, I was blind
    You were always on my mind
    You were always on my mind

    Tell me, tell me that your subscription hasn’t died
    Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
    Satisfied

    Little fixes I should’ve said and done, I never took the time
    You were always on my mind
    You were always on my mind

    Tell me, tell me that your subscription hasn’t died
    Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied

    [You were always on my mind x6]

    Maybe I didn’t treat you quite as good as I should

  11. Jamrioquai's Little L

    There you were freaking out
    Trying to get your build
    Around the fact that
    I nerfed you and
    Tanking is dead
    See how I'm trippin' out
    'Cause you can't even see
    What my vision really should be
    Why does it have
    To be like this
    I can never tell
    'Cause you make me
    Nerf you, nerf you, baby
    With a little "N"

    There you were shouting out
    Cracking up at alterations
    Getting upset
    In your diversifications
    Screaming and hollerin'
    How can Defence
    Become so paper thin
    You're playing so power-y
    You're making me sweat
    Just to nerf your resistance
    I can't give you nothin' more
    If you ain't takin' nerfin' from me
    Don't you know that

    You make me nerf you
    Nerf you baby
    With a little "N"
    Why does it have
    To be like this
    I can never tell

    Seems like you're
    Stepping on the flaws
    Of my patch notes
    'Cause you make me nerf you
    Nerf you, with a little "N"
    You know
    That's the way you
    Make me nerf you, yeah

    Why does it have
    To be like this
    I can never tell
    'Cause you make me
    Nerf you, nerf you, baby
    With a little "N"
  12. Let's see some spoof songs, people. Here's one, Kaiser Chief's I Predict a Riot.

    Watching the devs get nerfy
    It's not very pretty I tell thee
    Walking through forums is scary
    It's not very sensible nerfings
    A friend of a friend he got nerfed
    He looked the wrong way at Statesman
    Would never of happened to notice
    An unnerfed power set

    I predict a nerf
    I predict a nerf
    I predict a nerf
    I predict a nerf

    I tried to get a free respec
    The man in a red name attacks me
    He said that it was said before me
    And wants to get threads a bit locky
    Tanks scrabble round with no toggles on
    To borrow some inf for a DO
    If it wasn't for buffs they'd faceplant
    they're not very sensible nerfings

    [Chorus]

    And if there's anybody left out there
    They don't want to play in here
    Watching the devs get nerfy
    It's not very pretty I tell thee
    Walking through forums is quite scary
    It's not very sensible nerfings

    [Chorus]

    And if there's anybody left out there
    They don't want to play in here

    [Chorus]

  14. Well, Zorielle and Tessa will be there, along with Jessica. Jane'll drop by to wish Ellie luck, grab as much free grub as possible. Even Walsers drops by! Hannah would have come, but someone needed to look after the twins.

    Solo troller??

    Mind also has Mass Hypnosis. In a solo situation, you can fire it off without worrying about people using AoE's to wake the mobs up.

    Fire/EM Build

    No Build Up or Firey Embrace? It does boost non-fire damage attacks as well. Hit both and go slaughter a boss with your tier 8+9 secondary attacks.

    Epic powersets

    Electric has a hold and a res shield that does Slashing, Lethal and Energy resistance, as well as a PBAoE Disorient and a cone attack. Seems quite a nice little set.

    Force is a mainly defensive set. Personal Force Field can be thrown up when retreating or in a dangerous situation, but can't be attacked through. Repulsion Field can help keep enemies out of melee range, but drains endurance. Temp Invun gives okay S/L resistance, and you get Force of Nature, a mini unstoppable that when used in a tough situation may just turn the tide.

    These are personally my two favourites, followed by Munitions.
  18. My blaster's level 20, no stamina, doing fine as she is solo. When I get a few more slots for End Modifiers and Power Sink it'll be a breeze. Your milage may vary though.
  19. I've taken both and find each has its uses. Power Boost for increasing my hover speed in combat, buffing up the To Hit of Build Up/Aim, and aiding in knocking down foes. Boost Range is great for when I'm needed to pull something or need to fire out of range of another group.

    FF trollers

    PFF is a godsend. On my level 22 Mind/FF controller, I walked into the Arachnos Base past the defences using PFF, and during the Tyrant mission it guarded me from several blows from him (Until he Bone Smasher'd me for 6k damage.)
  21. Y'know, I've resisted this post for a while, but that coming from BRICK000, whose conduct over broadcast about the arena in Galaxy City is less than 'constructive', makes me think of the pot calling the kettle black.

    If I was going to be intimidating and rip a story to shreds, I'd rip it to shreds. But no, I pointed out things in the story, suggested ways to change them and also, at the end of my post I did say that with some work it could be an interesting story with potential. Yes, perhaps I could have sugar-coated my words for easier to swallow abilities, but 'tis a little late for that.

    The second part that Ryther put up shows a bit more of that promise. Yes, there are still tweakings that could be done with the writing style (Capitalization, mostly. While not important to the content of the story, it does make it read better.), it gives a reason to why two enemies might team up together, in this case to fight back against the strength of the heroes in their 'turf', the Hollows. Perhaps a little more descriptive text and emotion is needed from the main characters, but then again it's easy to get bogged down in it, and even I find it hard sometimes to get that balence right.

    ahh.. so you agree that the feedback *was* a little harsh.

    [/ QUOTE ] I can agree that my feedback was unintentionally a little harsh, and could have done with a rewrite before posting, but what's done is done and I can't really change what's happened, though in future I will try to make my views on peoples work less 'intimidating.'
  22. Aww :< Have a kitten, in fact, have several! *Also removes the PL-demanding, gun pointing kitten*
  23. Congratuflabulations, Gid!
  24. I wonder who'll massage Jane.

    Staff: I can't touch her! It feels like handling a chicken fillet from the fridge!
