Xylax

yea i hate fly but the thing to remember is it's for my GF and she's not the best at PvP as it is. SJ she hates and won't use because of rubberbanding. Teleport i could try to get her to test on a low level alt first i guess. might give that a shot.

I used Leadership in the build because of the extra dmg/acc which i thought might be useful when it comes to AS and using attacks like shockwave etc

I'll try rebuilding the character in builder when i get back home and i'll post the new build in this same thread if u dont mind checking back on it and giving more opinions/advice incase i gimp it up slightly?

Ok... She doesnt like MoG anyway, so lets avoid a debate about how effective it is :P

what about the other powers ive chosen?
Leadership - Good for a stalker or not?

Ok so you'd suggest dropping MoG for Fast Healing?

If I changed the End Red SO's in Instant Healing for Recharge Red's it wouldnt make it to end heavy would it? I mean i don't really know what im doing with stalkers but she's been moaning about her build for ages so im trying to get something she'll be happy with long term. So it would help if i could explain the benefits/downfalls of the changes.

Ok, so my GF dislikes her stalker in its current state. She's decided to use it soley for PvP now and focus on taking her brute to level 50 when I7 hits.

I've been playing with Hero Builder and came up with this for a build. Comments/suggestions/observations welcome

BTW - i didn't realise until i was just about to post that i'd left FLY unslotted, so i'm thinking of suggesting that she drops one of the healing SO's out of reconstruction and has 2 flight SO's slotted to make traveling quicker.

I fail to see why getting 3x end mod SO's in consume would help you at all other than you'd gain more End if u used it and only hit 1 mob. AFAIK it only takes 2-3 mobs to completely fill you end from just above empty to full...

As for a Fire/Fire brute without Stamina? Good luck but i don't think you have a chance in hell. Even with 3x recharge on Consume AND Stamina i've played my GF's Fire/Fire brute and its tough going so...

lol need to get you on blueyonder mine takes ages to load webpages since they 'upgraded' the speed...

As much as i hate to always seem to post after someone from E.V.I.L I'm going to anyway....

The Horde has the majority of its members between 25-40, usually we get a team of 3-8 ppl purely from the SG most nights, sometimes we have more on. If your interested try dropping a tell to me (Torrad/Xylax), Red elemental or X-Static

well prize money is obviously dependant upon how many people participate.

Just to clarify - I could team my MM with a stalker?

Also if at all possible i'd rather it started at about 7pm too.

haha yea, play a brute for a couple of hours then use a stalker or something :S

I play really offensively with my MM and tend to get into the thick of things a lot. I think slotting him is dependant upon play style, personally i slotted him with 3xrecharge and 3xheal. When stacked with my area heal between us we cna heal for about 1000health so its all good for playing fast :P

I didnt mean to say drop Twilight, i meant the one u can get instead of gloom, must of misread it. but u'know :P

Twilight grasp rocks and i use it constantly when i can be bothered to log into a 40 Squishy toon :P

lol, i was under the impression that you were only level 1 for the tut an that you hit level 2 when entering mercy.

On another note - get Smite :P i find with pretty much the same build as you at level 28 i just lack attacks. I use brawl way to much and without Smite... god i'd hate to think

Ok so if i was to drop cloak of fear. I just hit 28 and its killing my end. I used to hold up Murky Cloud, Obsid Shield, Cloak of darkness and dark embrace and i could just keep going constantly in fights, literally rarely using my dark consumption and never losing end. I've got CoF now and it just dies to quickly. Albeit its not slotted but what would be a better choice?
Bare i mind this toon is for PvE and PvP.

Also how should i go about slotting Murky Cloud, Obsid Shield, Cloak of darkness and dark embrace if at all?

hey Samus :P - Join The Horde :P

we have about 5 lvl 40s i think, 2 brutes, a stalker, 2 mm's. Alot of us are working alts atm but the SG tries to run at least one event a week for main/alt characters including SF's, respec SF's etc. I personally havent PvP'd on my MM as a DM secondary im more a support character for a team, holds, slow, area heals etc

But if you wanna give it a go let me or red know @Xylax I can add ya too

Oh i see, ok that helps and explains it, so you don't actually have to have said amount of infamy in your possession to earn the badge? So like i could spend the 10million on well needed SO's and when i've earnt enough inf from running missions and/or killing stuff i'd still get the badge?

Just curious how much infamy do you need for the badges? I was told you get bling at 1mill inf, then a second at 10mill and midas touch at 20mill? Can anyone confirm this? i got bling on my MM but at almost 12mill now and no sign of the second badge.

Drop twilight grasp/life drain (i recently respec'd these out myself)
Get these
20 - Fearsome Stare
22 - Shadow Fall
24 - Tar Patch
28 - Petrifying Gaze
30 - Darkest Night

as soon as possible. Fearsome stare is the most important imo. Fear/Acc debuff is amazing for when you use it, send pets in after and target any mobs u missed and ur'll be ripping through large groups in no time. Particularly handy when facing an elite-boss with mobs about him, target him fear the rest, makes life easy

The problem with SG's in this game, like in most MMO's is everyone wants to start one of there own. I haven't seen any SG which strikes me as being all that 'active'.

Some of the smaller SG's need to merge into more active ones. Would make the earning of prestige a lot easier too... anyway on another note. Join The Horde

Ok so this brute is currently at level 25, but i think i need to respec him. So any ideas for powers and extra powersets, i know i'll obviously need to get the fitness pool with swift/health/stamina.
Travel power? SuperSpeed or SuperJump with Acrobatics?

The powers i know im definitly getting are
Touch of Fear
Siphon Life
Smite
Shadow Maul (unsure about this one due to the time it takes to complete the move)
Murky Cloud
Cloak of Darkness
Cloak of Fear (at 28 when i unlock it)
Dark consumption
Obidian Shield

For attacks i was thinking of 6 slotting them all with 3 dmg, 2 acc, 1 end red, except tough of fear/siphon life. I'm unsure how to slot these. Dark consumption i was thinking 3 recharge, 2 acc, 1 end mod. I have no idea how to slot auras/defences so this is really where i need help.

Thanx for any suggestions, insults and the like

Bad stuff happens in life everyday, if you can't laugh about it and dont cry about it a lot of questions spring to mind.

It was mildy amusing, altho as stated a bit distasteful maybe :P

Well, as a mm myself i know that they dont always get in the way, i was talking specifically of the robot pets, because as yet ive never teamed with another mm which uses them who doesnt try to run in the front, thus blocking the way. Sure if you find a robots MM which lets ppl get thru doors etc first it wouldnt be to bad.

lol, i think the type of pets you have chosen depicts whether or not there hard to control. I went Necro, i dont mind controlling my lich/GK's but the zombies are complete muppets! I swear if you get one second of lag and the mob your attacking has started to run its a complete joke, i have been spamming heel (ahead of time trying to predict the mobs actions) only to watch my zombies follow the mob off a ledge into a whole group or more of other mobs and then come crawling back dragging them with them. Whilst on the other hand my GK's (whether they were in melee or ranged stances) seem to react sooooo much faster.

In short i love my GK's and lich but hate my zombies, only problem is i NEED all of them. Some of us don't like or dont want to have to use /bind commands which are 260 characters long. These choices SHOULD be in the options/keymapping section and there not. This should be patched.

Well, firstly i haven't played CoH but here's my views...
Remember it's also very specific on powersets, to sum a MM up (for example) is very has as DM is a good team powerset but something like sticky arrow (or whatever its called isnt)

MM - The worst for team play, even as a mastermind on my main EVERYONE goes robots for the dmg output and my God do they get in the way. Superb for solo play or duo's tho.

Brute - The tank and in this respect useful in a team but they seem to lack in damage as they only deal it when they've been fighting for so long or tanking lots against multiples.

Corruptor - The team player, Team buffs and ranged attacks, if you want to solo lots might not be the best choice. A good choice for PvP, but thats arguable and i'm not so experienced.

Dominator - Good in Teams, not the best solo but so-so. No idea about PvP potential.

Stalker - Possibly the worst team toon ever, your not a tank but your melee, hit and run all the way, but i should imagin awesome fun in PvP, mines only level 13 atm so not got to test that out yet.

I'll get around to it today probably.

When are you thinking of doing it?
I'm very nearly level 33 atm, shouldnt take too long to hit 34.
