_Zep_

Greetings all:

I am back after a bit of a break, I had it all figured out before I left, I do not however remember the many details.

With my Stalker, Electron Volts, (infinity) how many slots should I put into each of his defensive powers? I remember that IO bonuses max at differing levels for resist then say damage or recharge.

Is the max bonus to each resist type from SO/IO I am shooting for 60% (or there abouts?) If I also want to focus on EndRedux and to a minor level recharge, should I mix and match a few IO's with resist/end with one resist/end/recharge? Really bottom level am I looking at three or four slots per damage shield? Or more? Set bonuses can be attractive, if it is four slots is it ideal to go with two IO's each from two sets? Are there any extra slots I should dump in for special purple IO's at lvl 50?

Thank you very much to each and all with suggestions and input on this question.

It sounds as though Gremlins need a bit of slotting to shine. Has anyone tried any procs in them? Perhaps a damage proc? Or lotted them out with a set of pet specific IO's?

Another question, as my elec/elec has not yet made 32, are they semi-perm like other controller pets? Or are they on a timer like the sentinel?

Getting two gremlins and one sentinel sounds like a god deal to me.

With my guy, I have a tri-form build and a human build. The tri-form is all about flexibility and the human form is about stalkerish DPS.

I still need to buy/make all the IO's for the human only build so I don't know how it compares damage wise, I do fairly well with my tri-form though.

Interesting, how well does it work with the electric control end drain powers?

Thank you for the sugestions. I was fully hoping there was a way to simply list the packs.

To make a suggestions to the game developers, please add more details to the game account screen. Thank you.

I have taken a break of some time and now I am back.

I see many game items in the form of themed costume packs. I know I have at least one already installed. How can I tell what each of the following is for?

Some are easy, others are not. I don't want to end up buying the same costume/perk pack again.

Thanks everyone

Nice write up.

Very similar to my fire/fire and how I play her.

I have found groups adapting to my inferno schedule and AOE goodness just like you mentioned.

So I was on with my SG on Champion a while ago, and we were doing the Positron TF. At one point, we were ambush right in front of Positron and Valkyrie. So here's all these guys shooting at us, trying to kill us, and Mr. Bigshot "I got my armor upgraded" and Ms. "I have this fancy spear that none of you can get!" are just kinda standing there watching.

THANKS A LOT, LEGENDARY HEROES!

Seriously, though, it would be cool if the trainers got some sort of automated power similar to the police drones. There's just something wrong about the eight most famous heroes in all of Paragon city standing there watching you get pounded on.

All that crap is grey to me, no XP.

If I get ambushed by lvl 50-53 stuff right in front of you are you going to help? Has to be at least blue to you.

Perhaps they can give OTHER players awesome defense, but they sure don't have any themselves. I've never seen a Defender herding mobs before.

Pre-Issue 3 I saw a forcefield defender herding dozens of Rikti Monkeys. Though I doubt it now after they got Psi attacks.

I've never seen anyone heard like a rad defender with fly. Those toggles really piss the mobs off. I supsose snow storm could do the trick too.

This technically isn't possible with our engine. It would have to be a huge animated texture refreshing at 20+ frames per second.

We did think of it, but the engineers' eyeballs popped out of their sockets when we suggested it.

I do hope you got some pictures.... That would be very intersting to see.

My history: I have done pen and paper RPG's for over 25 years starting with the old blue "D&D" starter book.

This is my first online RPG. My chars are mostly male, I have two females. I have been asked, when playing a female, if I am really a girl, my answer, the one I stand by, "Does it matter?"

Its about plaing a game, and if for the moment being female is part of the game, so what?

I can understand that anyone not secure in thier own identity can have trouble with this, but having worked retail for 13 years I have seen people who have trouble operiating the automatic doors and shoping carts. It doesnt make them less of a person, they just lack certain abilites.

My point: Its a game and the "R" is about playing other roles, why confine yourself to just one gender role?

I wonder if they ever solo.

Not controllers

I go with 4 recharge, 1 aim, 1 damage:

Things I have not seen considered so far....

With more recharge the downtime starting a new lvl or if the imps are wiped out is less. With more imps the crowd control factor is higher. When you are fighting big groups (as when oyu are in a team 3+ or solo in a hazard zone) each mob that is fighting an imp is not fighting you. Thus more imps is better.
