    Ice/Force Field

    well...Ice is really fun and a good set but force field is lacklustre to say the least and in need of a good buff.

    You won't be dealing much damage and I would consider another secondary unless you're gonna team all the way to 50 and liking being some of a buffbot.

    Has to be said though that the singletarget shields and to a lesser extent Dispersion Bubble are awesome and can make a team more or less steamroll anything. If this is for you go for it

    I would personally rather go for either rad or storm as a secondary...but hey...up to you

    For PvP you'll be in high demand for baseraids but not much else than that I'm afraid.

    Stealth as a power is bugged also iirc. A controller with tactics could see my teammate with hide/stealth/io. Lets take out the IO. Hide/stealth.

    Nice build. Only thing I would change is to slot nothing in Inhernet - there are other Enchancements that would be more useful by not putting it in Inhernet powers.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nice try IM. Seems you've actually listened to people...just too bad Carni actually hasnt slotted his inherents

    Ive put in both tough and fire shield because well... im used to playing close combat.
    This way i get about 40% damage resistence.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You'll get just short of 50% res just from the shield alone (not sure if this is a bug or wai but defender and controller shields both give 50%) so you won't need tough. Od course it's a nice extra boost but you won't ever need it. If you do decide to take Tough you'll miss out on powers far more of use to you.

    This is because i solo quite alot. So when i got the imps, i'd like to be able to run / jump into a mob, flashfre them, put hotfeet on and cage em all.. without dying instantly.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You won't die instantly; Flashfire -> Fire Cages -> melt with Hotfeet

    [ QUOTE ]
    And later ill trow them a lil fire ball.
    so then theyre all consused, held and on fire when the imps run in and kill them.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Fireball and Imps are great...but Hotfeet's the real damage gem
  5. Good guide Carni

    Can't seem to import the build though?

    here are my pool/ancil tips:
    pool powers
    1) dont slot hurdle
    ...
    3) dont slot hurdle
    ...
    7) dont slot hurdle


    [/ QUOTE ]

    If you can spare the slots always try to slot Hurdle. Slotted Combat Jumping and Hurdle is a thing of beauty.
  7. slotting the shield for resistance? tsk tsk Mael.

    The worst thing is someone new might stumble across this build or the guide you wrote and use some of it. So for any new Illusionists out there

    ALWAYS DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT ILLUSION MASTER SAYS

    [/ QUOTE ]

    What? You mean I shouldnt try and slot my Flash for damage? aawwww....I was so looking forward to the AoE carnage that is Flash

    Perhaps he has a special utility not only randomizing his builds but also his threads?

    What did I do now?

    ..and shouldnt you be on holiday?
  10. Defiant used to have a slightly higher playerpopulation that Union....this has slowly shifted the other way and Union now roughly have 50-75% more players online at peaktimes.

    Union villains now has the same playerpopulation as Defiant heroes.

    It's sad really but that's the reality of things.

    Can't really say why this has happened but I suspect it's mainly because the old wellknown "communityleaders" quit the game a while back and Union still has theirs active ingame.

    Defiant certainly isn't dead and there's a lot of good friendly players around..but sadly not as easy to find them these days.

    Defiant is and will always be my homeserver (even though my villains are on Union due to charslot space)

    Can you place the AOE debuff aura on PAs? I thought they were unbuffable?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yes you can. Not sure why tbh...but it works

    I once teamed with a Khelidan that kept dying (not the best strategist) and would ignore people offering wakeys to go straight to the hospital. When challenged, he confessed with a "lolz" he didn't know what wakeys were. He didn't know what Inspirations were either. I asked him if the account belonged to him or if he was playing on a friend's char, and amazingly it was his own. Draw your own conclusions.

    Tanks aren't designed to kill things, they're designed to take the aggro so that others can kill things, simple solution to your problem? Get taunt and team with a blaster.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Really? So tanks lost their secondary now then?

    You do know on Union there is a PvP Zone Invasion right??? Should be a good turnout (crosses fingers).

    I can do both damnit!

    This...even though I'll be a tad late as I get off work at 8

    and 3 holds (Freeze Ray, Bitter Freeze Ray and Fearsome Stare).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Fearsome stare is the cone fear...Petrifying Gaze is the hold.

    Besides, Ice Storm works better with Tar Patch than Fire does. Why? Cuz it stacks slows, making it impossible to run away from that deadly patch.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    RoF slows aswell.

    Sorry to be a nitpicker

    Other than that...what Arika and Okton said

    Right, this is probably going to be a stupid question,

    But doesn't heatloss need any accuracy's? My corrupter isn't high enough to have it, but in the hero builder it does take accuracy's...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It does take and need accuracies. It works the exact same way as fulcrum shift (autohit on your target, need tohitcheck on others so if you only want to duel you can skip the accuracy)

    I can arrange some fights for you in Denmark if you want?
  22. Thing is...I can see where SingStar is coming from. Having different powersets in the team would of course make it a more rounded and efficient team but that's not really the point here.

    Main problem with various powersets teams is you could be lacking when the /emp or the /ff or whatever wouldnt be able to be there for a playsession or two.

    Having a full ?/? team or a mixed team are both great but you really shouldnt discourage SingStar for making this attempt.
  23. Yes.

    Can't help you with origin, concept, background, maidenname, what he had for breakfast etc. questions as I really couldnt care less about that sort of thing.
