    Silas: Yes, I would like to see you build if that's alright.

    And a few more queries:

    Considering Fire Breath ... worth it?

    Flares or Fire Blast? (As I don't want/don't have room for both :P)

    And do you think I'll need Conserve Power if I have already taken Power Sink? In the current build I'm planning, I could easily replace it for Sonic Cage.

    Thanks again,
    Tux.

    Sorry to interfere a little here, but I have a Plant/Storm at 37 and just playing around with mids atm. I can get a build with about 50% Global Rech. and 35% Defence to ranged and S/L. Will 50% be enough for stacked Tornado, LS and Freezing Rain?

    So for a Speed ITF I should be targetting the Healing Nictus as we're simply trying to out-DPS Rommy? Sorry hehe, just clearing things over.

    Stone is ugly, but the shield is nice, particulary as it's defence. Fissure is a nice attack IMO, but Plant won't have a stun to stack it with. Still a good attack though (especially with FS but so will any APP AoE)

    Personally, I think I would go Psi since Psi Tornado is always nice and you can stick the FF +recharge proc in it. Part-time mez protection is always valuable too.

    Hope that helps,

    Tux.

    Thanks guys, all your comments are much appreciated. All the different playstyles sound interesting! From what your saying Silas, it sounds like my build is going to be tight! Will have to play around with a build in mids, thanks for starting me off!

    Any other comments will be very welcome.

    That's the build, (hope that works). Just wondering whether to swap Snow Storm for Frostwork?
  8. _Tux__EU
    Thanks for the replies guys. It is a really tight build, as I want Maneuvers for the ranged defence (and stacking with my team members shields, for their benefit) and I guess I'm leaning towards Assault as I will be in a team of 8 90% of the time I play this toon.

    Thanks for the little calculation Deacon as well, Assault does sound extra tasty now! Snow Storm sounds great as well, but if it's resisted by a lot of AVs then it might not be as useful as I thought. On the other hand, I do have Frostwork in my build. Good for the Tank against LR, useful for the squishy Blaster/Controller on TFs? I find it hard to notice the merit of it in-game and I've read posts arguing it's the most skippable power in Cold. Thoughts?

    Thanks again guys! Any other advantages/disadvantages to each power?

    Hi guys,

    Sorry to bore you all with *another* Cold/Sonic question, but I can't decide what I want as my last power for my Defender. My final build has almost 30% ranged defence and 75% Global Recharge. However I have a choice at L49 between Assault or Snow Storm. Most of my playtime I'll end up fighting AVs (In TFs mainly), so has anyone got any suggestions on which would be more valuable?

    18.75% more damage on a AV sounds nice (the end cost is neglible in my current build, especially considering I'll have Heat Loss up quite often), but so does -60% recharge on a particularly nasty enemy. Halp!

    Thanks in advance,

    Tux

    Hey all,

    Got a new Fire/Sonic Corr, and enjoying it so far. Anyone got any good builds, opening attack chains etc.?

    Also - I'll eventually be IOing this one out, any set bonus objectives? Global rech, damage? Thanks in advance.

    Tux.

    I recognize Light Within and Liqour...

    Light Within was an Emp, and Liqour was a Fire/Kin, right?
  12. _Tux__EU
    Thanks for the replies guys. I think the immob would be nice for Rommy but I should eventually have about ~70% recharge in the build so leaning towards Dominate.

    Any other opinions/advantages to each power? Optimal slotting for Dominate? (When going for damage )

    Dark/elec

    POST-ACTION

    A few tips:

    Skip Black Hole, it has very little use when teaming. Taking both holds (in your case Petrifying Gaze and Tesla Cage) is useful against bosses or taking two annoying lieutenants out of the fight. Put three recharges in Tar Patch, and use it whenever possible. -30% res. is great.

    Electric Blast is kind of diverse slotting wise, as you can go for the sapper playstyle and use Short Circuit (slotted with end mod) and Ball Lightning to drain endurance. Elec's damage isn't the greatest but I've always thought Thunderous Blast was cool. (Never had that nuke on a Defender mind) I would advise taking stamina if you haven't already and possibly Assault for some extra damamge for you and your team.

    Hi guys, I know there have been a few posts recently about Sonic attacks chains, and I have very almost come to a decision about my final power choices on my Cold/Sonic. I will primarily being doing ITFs/STFs with this toon, and I am looking to pump out some respectable single target against the AVs to help my team.

    My attack chain will hopefully look something like this.

    Shriek ---> Scream ---> Shriek ----> (Dominate OR Electric Fence)

    I will have ~50% global recharge and I don't mind gaps in this chain as I can just spam Howl.

    So my main question is which attack would be better DPS here. I could put the Hold purple chance for Smashing Damage in Dominate which would help nicely, but with the Electric Fence, the recharge would be less than four seconds and I could use the Trap of the Hunter damage proc and possibly the PvP ranged damage Chance for Toxic proc.

    Furthermore, does anyone know whereabouts the Apocalypse damage proc would work best? Would I be correct in thinking Shriek is my best option for it?

    Thanks for your opinions guys.

    Thanks very much for all your info and opinions guys!

    Just playing around with Mids, and I reckon I can achieve ~50% recharge realitively easily without LotGs, which I guess will eventually be added in

    I think the Shriek>Scream>Shriek>Dominate chain looks nice. Obviously I'll be spamming Howl around this for most of my playtime (in large teams), so that chain doesn't need to be totally seemless. So this will hopefully work out well, with no major flaws?

    Help with /Sonic

    POST-ACTION

    Hi guys, I'm am having simlar trouble on power choices with a Cold/Sonic. I'm primarily going for damage, but it's a very tight build. Would it be dumb to skip Shout and simply cycle Shriek, Scream and Howl on a high recharge build? Would skipping Shout severely effect my damage output?

    Thanks in advance, and for all the previous replies!
  17. _Tux__EU
    I guess, still haven't been able to beat this record though!

    Hey all, sorry if this has already been announced and I have failed to find it.

    Is there any word on what the new colours for spines are likely to be? For concept, I would love some silver spines. (They're not to annoy anyone I promise, otherwise I would definitely be picking pink ones )

    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome amireal, and welcome TheHidden01! Defiant Villains is quite quiet relative to Heroes and Union Villains, but there are a lot of good people around, as I'm sure you've gathered
  22. _Tux__EU
    Sorry guys, wasn't able to make it with Beat yesterday (Sunday) and tonight's evidently called off.

    Hope to see you next week.
  23. _Tux__EU
    Good job on that ITF guys, how did we lose out by one second!
  24. _Tux__EU
    I would say slot for recharge if you want to solo EBs as you'll want your little Tanks (Phantom Army) up as often as possible. With a lot of recharge in the build it also makes Flash (Not that useless power!) quite a decent tool, especially in larger teams if you end up in the them.

    Okay thanks guys, any thoughts about slotting Roots/Tornado with Damage?
