_Chin_

What kind of team mate would i be if i just left you out there all alone....count me in Kit, but not as a leader just point me in a direction and tell me to kill...*cough* arrest

Now to decide who to bring...the fastest faceplanting Brute in the west, or some slow icey death.

for the record, I love bitter freeze ray and I use it a lot, even during combat when other powers are recharging.

it does pretty good damage for a hold too.

And just looks so damn cool....the main reason i took it, yes i'm vain

I've thought about solo'in Posi TF, but not the rest...may try it for a laugh one day. One question though do the AVs drop to EBs if you plough through on ya tod?

Group name
Darklords of the Underworld

Description
A full and active VG that has been around since day one, we have a wide variety of players with and without experience. For those that are willing to learn....we are willing to teach, majority of our leaders contain a vast ammount of knowledge of the game in general, but if we don't know we will try our hardest to find out for you. All we ask is for you play and have fun.

Web Page
None as of yet

In game contacts
@Chin, @Dark Bru, @Kitetsu, @Tartan Dragon, @Doctor Strangeglove

Favoured Activities
Team missions, SF's, General banter between us

Other activities
Arena events, PvP running, we run special events every couple of months in which inf and promotions can be won and are trying to assemble a Base Raid squadron

Admission Requirements
We accept all type of player RPer and not, but our RP level is low so would be best to check elsewhere. PL'in is frowned upon but not forbidden, just don't pester the higher players of the group. We offer promotions for the lower ranks for earning prestige...100/200k respectively, but further advancement is possible if you can prove yourself worthy. We currently run a 30 day inactivity rule in which the said toon will be ejected from the group, but a email will be sent incase you wish to rejoin.

We really need a sticky thread for active Supergroups.

Maybe with some sort of categorisation so people who only want to get involved in team PvP and have no interest in roleplaying know that group A is right for them, whilst those interested in Roleplaying and Teamed missions know SG B suits them better.

That definitly sounds like a good plan....would put my 2 cents in.

I actually just wanted to get in before you Max....everytime theres a "Looking for VG" post you always seem to be the first response. But seriously we are always on the look so feel free to ask any questions.

We are also always on the look for more people to join the Darklords, we've finally managed to establish a pretty active VG with a large fully working base...Currently we have about 70 members, so would have to check to see if theres room or not.

Also it makes no difference to us weather your a r/p'er or not or if your new or not, all are welcome (only rule is not to pester the higher lvls for PL'in...happy to team up but dont expect an easy ride )

If ya intrested send a message to either @Dark Bru or @Chin, can generally find us on most evenings and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Will try my best to be there as its been the trial that has always slipped through my fingers....will be a Blaster called Chin, will come to Hollows just before 7 and start looking for ya.

You're right about confusing Kit.....gave him a shiney penny and was quiet for hours

Gratz on the other 40 Bru, and Gratz on your 1st Kit....with so many 40s in the group now its gunna be blast on the race to 50.....see ya at the finish line.

Just wanna make sure i got it clear before i run my mouth. I understand that we're only allowed to enter once, but wanted to make sure that multiple teams from the same VG are allowed. Think i already know the answer, but no harm in finding out.

Just wanted to leave a quick Gratz for all the people that took part in the raid against our own Hero group....they stormed to victory and the 1st, but the heroes clawed back a victory making 1-1.

Destined for a rematch i feel. Gratz once again Guys an Gals.

This has been a Darklords morality boost service announcement.

We've been busy....well i say busy trying to design a group costume for the Base Raids and PvP Events. The following links are a few screenies of what we've come up with, modeled by the various sizes and genders to give a rough idea of what it'll look like.....Enjoy.

First up we have the design on a Huge build Front and Back

Then i bring you a normal sized body Front and Back

And lastly the beauty of the female form Front and Back

These aren't the final ideas, just what we come up with...any feedback would be great, either on here or in game, we understand that some cossie parts may need to be changed because of the backstory...this is fine and the head design is completely down to your own creative design, after all we're not clones.

Would also like to state that it won't be forced upon you to wear these costumes.....but we would like our regular Base raid members to use a cossie slot to create one....after lvl20 of course, and if their are any problems about the cossie or inf for the cossie, just lets us know.

This has been a Darklords employee servise anouncement.

Yeah i noticed that with Energy Drain....slotted with 3 End Mods it can drain about 3/4s of the targets End Bar and only needs 2 targets to nearly fill the bar, with the added bonus of always hitting as it doesn't take Acc enhancements.

And to answer Filths questions.... i think that you should be able to fair well with Dark Consumption (thinks thats the name), Energy Drain and Conserve Power. Would probably just use Conserve Power as a back up, cause with the 2 End Recovery powers you should always have one ready for when its needed.....probably wise to put some End reductions in your powers as well.

Also i found that Aid Self works pretty well in battle as long as you slot for 3 Interupt Reduction as well as the Heals, the down side is that it has a long animation but that can be put up...its better than having no heal.

Good to know you had fun with this Kronic, since I haven't seen much posted about it I was wondering how people did with it. I wanted to know why you took the fitness pool? I'm planning to avoid it completely - were there other reasons you took it other than Stamina? Did you also go for the Medicine Pool?

[/ QUOTE ]

I took the fitness pool purely for stamina as the 1st 20 lvls rolled by so slow having to rest every couple of minutes, which also didn't help with the fury system. Now looking back, when the higher lvl content arrives i may get the new respec a run a few tests to see if its any better with just Energy Drain and Conserve Power, which will leave to extra power choices as well.

And yes i took the medi pool, but not until i got the 2nd respec...but with Aid Self i was able to bump the rep up to the hardest one (previously on the middle setting).

I will say one thing about the EA set, i found it suffers in larger teams compared to the rest....simply because of the lack of damage resistance. But then if your in a large team, you've generally got some bod who can heal ya so not too much to worry about.

Just picked up Ice Sheild with my Ice/Cold blokey and noticed that it can be slotted for both Defence and Resistance. Gunna put 3 Defence on it asap, but is it worth it (if i have enough slots later) slotting for Resistance as well....or will the resistance that you get from Arctic Fog be enough?

I've just got my EM/EA brute to 40, and all i can say is....i started to hate at the start, but the last 10 lvls were the easiest i've played.

I took Dampening Shield (the passive resist to S/L) simply because any attacks that did get through had a little less sting in them, also took Energy Cloak and thats then everything started coming up roses, its great for the "Can't be bothered to clear" outdoor missions and the +Def works great with the other shields....obivioulsy.

Never bothered with Conserve Power, its great but i just didn't need it as Energy Drain and Stamina was and is working just fine for me, and we mustn't forget Overload....simply put WOW with that power i've managed to solo a +2 Elite boss not once but twice in the same mission, it was a Wailer Lord and he rez'd....paniced a little but was still victorious.

So any way thats enough of me tootin my own trumpet, and back to the question in hand.....i can only see 2 powers not worth taking, and those are the 2nd passive resist (the name aludes me at the mo) and Conserve Power, and take the rest as i wouldn't want to leave the base without any of them.

Hope this helps a little, but most importantly have fun....i know i did

Yup, got him today and didn't even have to spawn him.....he was just there waiting to be smacked upside the head.

I'm just about to stick my 1st slots onto Overload and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to stick on it.

I was thinking along the lines of 3 recharge as i want it back as quick as poss. Then i'm stuck between either 3 Heals or 3 Defence, the defence on it seems fine but a little extra always helps.

The other idea i had was 2 Recharge, 2 Defence and 2 Heals that way i get a little of everything i want. If anyone else has other ideas i would be happy to hear them.

The long and the short of it....i see stamina as a way of just being able to pound skulls a little longer before relying on CaBs or other End recovery skills.

Lets see if i can shine some light on this a little:

I currently have a lvl 38 EM/EA Brute and currently have no endurance issues whatsoever, i will say though that getting stamina at lvl 20 is a must.

Basicly i got all my sheilds as soon as they became avalible and are slotted with 1 End Reduction in each and i run them constantly (except between missions), i also have 1 End Reduction in all my attacks, in total i run 5 toggles at one time, the 3 Sheilds, Energy Cloak and Combat Jump.

It was a tough start but with stamina its a whole lot easier, then with Energy Drain at lvl 28 it becomes a breeze, i've slotted this with 3 End Mods, 3 Recharge and can fill my endurance by hitting just 2 minions (and it always hits as you cant stick ACC enhancements on it), also slotting this way drains them of 3/4s of their endurance bar. Because of this i skipped Conserve Power at lvl 35, as i felt no need for it.

By no ways do i consider myself an expert, just putting forward my own opinions. Hope this helps in some way.

Once its slotted for damage Total Focus is sweet as a nut, my most used attack....was a little disapointed with Energy Transfer, it hits for more damage than TF but a cost of around 120 hit points which will slowly increase with your lvl...currently lvl 35 and lose 130 hit points everytime i used it, so i only ever use it as my opening attack. Bit of a crappy animation as well considering its an uber attack, but fun none the less.

Thanks Cliche, thats exactly what i wanted...gunna have a crack at SR now. Only problem is, i think i may change my primary from Broadsword, what pairs well with SR...i'm only asking as i've only ever tried Katana off the primary and would like peoples thoughts and ideas. I was thinking either Katana again or prehaps DM?

Basicly i want to make a Broad Sword barbarian....original i know. Was thinking of going with Regen as i've used it a little before and liked it, but with that my toon will get a healthy green glow, which brings me to my question...I've never tried SR, but have a lot of bad things about it, i just trying to find out what low down is on this set as i have a EA Brute on villains and am quite happy with it.

I took Aid Other in the Medi pool 1st, but left it unslotted as i wanted to stick them else where...never used it,probably never will. But as i said for the way i play (mainly solo) Aid Self is pretty much a given, unless you're gunna carry a load of greens.
You said it dont fit your build...my advice is set a bind for "Hey look over there, Isn't that Elvis!" then secretly use it under your coat.

This a quick post...How many teams from the same SG take part on a base raid?

Just wondering as we'll soon be doing one and already have a full team and other people are intrested.
