Yeah, well I have dull pain!

Gunna spec into perma-IW when I earn the £££.

I have tough



And weave!

/Ice because it's gimped, unlike /fire.

Well, not gimped, just differently-abled.

Try ice/ice/ice actually. Different as in opposite, yet also control and ST based, instead of wtfaoepwnz based like fire.

Don't forget the buffs from empathy, Neo!

Slotting's off a little, but other than that it's a great build for a first controller!

There's my fire/kin guide, which needs updating soon...

Basically, I'll go through a few things:
Char:1/2 acc, 2 hold, 1/2 rech
Transfusion:1/2acc, a few heals
Fire cages: 2 acc, 1 or 2 end, immob if you really want.
Siphon power: Fine
Smoke: no end red needed
combat jumping: no end red needed, it's very cheap
siphon speed: 2 acc, 3 recharge. you want this to stack!
Hot Feet:Acc not needed
Speed boost: No end red or run needed, put 2 end mod in
Flashfire: 2 acc, 2 rech, 2 stun.
Tough: 3 res, 1/2 end
Fire imps: Only need 2 acc
Transference:2 acc is preferable, otherwise good
Fulcrum shift: 2 acc 3 rech, end reds arent needed much
Fire Ball: Another damage, 2 recharge, take out the end
Consume: Take out damage, it is tiny already, add another rech
Cinders:Swap endred for Hold


My advice. Good luck, fire/kin is VERY fun!

Naaah Ill/Rad is underpowered and it needs a serious buff

[/ QUOTE ]
Nooooooo buff fire/kin plz

We need mez protection and granit!11

[ QUOTE ]
so this just illustrates you cant please everyone all the time, do your best and enjoy the game

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course, pleasing me all the time works fine

[ QUOTE ]
casters shouldn't be in the thick of things imo*

[/ QUOTE ]
You don't need to be in melee to get aggro, you just need AoEs. Blasters and Controllers certainly AoE alot.

Empathy is the only real set for Healing, but don't miss out on the buffs it contains- they are very nice!

As for controllers doing damage, some combinations can do very nice damage

Based on your original build, but better slotting.

I read that wrong

I couldn't come.

Always heal the Tanker as all others also say, thats the way it shoud go.

Hey Blasters know each Carpet in Paragon so they know how much agro they coud take, if the same dyes twice its his fault not yours, and if Tank is dying it coud hurt the entry Team. So you made an good Choice.You dont have to feel guilty if you safe the Team, and hey thats why you get an Resurect Power

[/ QUOTE ]

<<<< Would prefer Fortitude to a ressurect.

[ QUOTE ]
As a Fire/Rad or Fire/Kin is there a need for Stamina?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, because of HOTFEET.


Which, by the way, rules.

Please, call me Spirit

Bots/traps. Tankerminds need lots of def, if you BG mode tank. In BG, even if you have high res, when an attack hits you, you'll be fine with the res, but the pets will get hit quite hard. Therefore, defence is better, as if it misses you, none of the minions will get hit. (Unless it's an AoE).

So yeah, FFG+Epic shield+Protector Bot Bubbles+CJ= nearly def cap for s/l.

Add that to ghetto max hp values from BG mode, throw in presence, and debuffs from secondary, and you're good to go

Was good fun. And I'm up for some weekend teaming. Saturday or Sunday are both good for me.

Oh scratch that. It all depends on how good the new Harry Potter book is.

Ah, so you will join us

It's more like Controller Super-mega-hyper-ultra-uber-awesome-cool-giant-robot-ninja-pirate-dinosaur-laser-team.
At least.

[ QUOTE ]
Sunday? Also, we appear to have 2 threads

[/ QUOTE ]
We do?

Oh, Union Heroes.


CROSSPOSTING ARE EBILZ!

To use the vernacular, I'd say it was "Gert lush like, innit?"

Very fun anyhow! Who's up for a weekend meet?

4 of us next to sunstorm atm.
