Aww, you got me there. Never thought of that. I always like them chimps tagging along. They are on a short leash though, because when they break loose...

...they don't outdamage me. And I'm stone mastery

Wait wait Blue_Note..

What kind of self respecting fire/kin picks fire imps? And if they do that, even bothers using them?

[ QUOTE ]
I have seen plenty of kins not using SB and plenty of empaths not using fort.

Just because I forget to SB alot doesn't make me bad! It's just that other things I do benefit the team more

People miss??!

In theory

Perish the thought though.

I'm level 35 now, avoided the single ally shields for now, might get them later.

Skipping insulation bubble I could sortof understand, but with a FF bubble, even from a controller, does wonders for peoples defences. Seriously, I strongly advise showing your build. I'm sure there's a power that could better serve specced out for Deflection.

Sorry, but I find, as others do, bubbles can make a huge difference: Be it on my scrapper, controller, tank, brute, blaster, they all go nuts in bubbles!

[ QUOTE ]
My Claws/Regen scrapper got boring after awhile and i decided to remake as a spines/dark as a friend of mine said it was a good combo and so far i cant see anything wrong with the combo can anyone give me any advice as to how to build this char up for PvE

[/ QUOTE ]
Only thing wrong with it is endurance.

Well, the lack thereof

Basic spines/dark advice: AoE AoE AoE! Quite a few End Reds! More AoE! Find a kinetic defender to look after your blue bar!

[ QUOTE ]
Heh, i knew it. After playing with a */Sonic defender you get used to that sound. And starting to like it.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, I play with the volume off and don't look at the screen.

It's okay, pretty supportive

Used Spirit's excellent guide so far but it has no i9 info. Anyone care to show me the light?
Looking for a good mass kill farming build, from 20 upwards. (As in I'm PLing it to 20)

[/ QUOTE ]
Inventions you mean? Meh, I'm not very rich. Definatly try to get the +Recovery IOs and bonuses if you have pool toggles at all (Fighting, Leadership, leaping or whatever).
Other than that, look out for +recharge set bonuses, though they'll be quite expensive to get.

FF/Sonic, level 11 now

Archery was a set I wasn't going towards, because I've already got it on my blaster (level 38 Arch/energy) and yes, the nuke does rock.

Hmm, I might end up making sonic/ instead for the extra damage, but the resistance doesn't quite match the defence of FF... ah well.

Is it actually possible to do worthwhile AoE damage with a defender though? I'm not too fussed about secondary effects on this.

I was thinking Rad, as that has 3 AoE attacks- and NRG has the scatter effect..

I've done psi before, but it is more suited to ST I find. How would Elec and Rad compare AoE damage-wise?

Right, here's the deal- I want to make a FF/ defender, with AoE attacks. Now I don't really like the sound of sonic (literally) and was thinking- what's the second biggest damaging secondary after sonic? This is for AoE PvE, in teams.

Archery/Energy is great, mine's 38 atm, and I can just say- your biggest attacks are in your secondary. However, you can play a nice all-range blaster- and might be able to forgo stamina doing so, as the primary is cheap on end (the attacks from the secondary are a different matter).

Also try and not pick up toggles from the pools- they will drain your end.

Use conserve power in big fights, and try to slot an end red in a couple of your heavier attacks.
But my advise is do NOT skip total focus- it is the best damaging attack that you get! You can stun a boss with it in one hit, so it can be useful even for that.

Cheaper recreation rooms!

So yeah, in a nutshell, it doesn't increase the radius of powers, but it's still very useful.

The nerf balanced things a bit. But I think it would be better if they have boosted imp's HP a bit or give them some resistance (specially against fire powers).

Anyway, Fire/Rad, Fire/Kin, Fire/Storm and Fire/TA are still very good combos IMHO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yes. Fire/Kin especially. So overpowered compared with other controllers.

[/ QUOTE ]
Naaah, surely you've got it all wrong?

The build is mainly for ranged combat. I'm not planning on going into melee, thus the only melee power is Fire Sword Circle.

[/ QUOTE ]

Might I ask why?

[/ QUOTE ]
Why what? Why ranged?
Because I like my Blaster to be ranged and not crushed to death in melee And I've played so many melee toons that I want some ranged now.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well why FSC then?

Sorry Weiss, but as far as I know it's not commonplace to slot Single Target Holds for damage

It's a bit more common to slot single target immobs for damage though, as they are used by some for damage, and therefore don't need any duration.

Btw, for the people planning builds, Flash arrow's tohit debuff is more than twice the defence buff of manoeuvres

Soz m8, just an Off-Topic question, was your signature previously quoting Deathdude? thx

[/ QUOTE ]
I was deathdude, but never got around to changing that in my sig

[ QUOTE ]
I can only really think of two possible uses for this tactic. One would be if I'd just been defeated by a tough boss/EB and I wanted to have domination ready for round two.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's kinda the idea. Looking at Aid Other, I see it has a cost of 6.5, which could have a slot or so thrown in and be interrupted for use on a pet as a cheap alternative?

Having a pocket thermal for my /Fire brute I'd like to say the shields reduce the need for healing to almost 0. A pocket cold on a resistance based character would probably reduce that need to absolute 0 (pun intended) If you're able to regen the damage through natural rate faster than you're being hurt then you dont need green numbers

[/ QUOTE ]
I know how those corr shields make brutes ubah, but I try to build my brute to be efficient without a corr, as often there isn't one on my team.

I was saying that replacing a self heal with health insps was just like replacing your shields with orange/purple/break free insps. Forgot to put in that post about removing shields.
