_Chin_

Just recently taken in full upgrade mode...dang, he a cool looking thang! Clicky

Yeah, been great fun so far...the damage is a bit meh', but the vet powers make a real difference (never remember the Nemi staff being that powerful) and hoping to get him to atleast the pet stage as hes just about to hit 21....then I need to work my g/fs troller as shes not gunna be about, thats the time that i'll be probably get jealous

Cheers for the replies...think i'll stick with 3 recharge, then when slots become spare and inf becomes plentyful, i'll stick some proc's in there.

I've just got my Earth/Rad to lvl18 and picked Earthquake, now when I went to slot it I noticed that it also takes ToHit Debuffs and Def Debuffs. What I want to know are these actually worth slotting for after i've slotted for recharge, on Mids it says that the Def Debuff is something like 10%, but doesn't actually give figures for the Tohit Debuff.

I have been off and on leveling a staminaless Elec/Elec whose without Aid Self. Painful in anything but a big team to level. In a big team she comes home or should do. If not the team is spread into little teams.

When you say disregard the slotting, do you mean all of it?

When mine attacks, the more damaging her attacks are the less likely she is to use the attack or another attack again. By not doubling your damage you end up having to hit twice. Mine also saves end by hitting 10 with thunder strike as opposed to 5 hence why on smaller teams she doesn't really work. Your taking stamina will make yours more solo able than mine if you didn't have to attack a foe almost twice as many times without fury. The end red in the toggles could be damage in the other attacks. In having to use an attack again you will use more eps than the toggle costs in 20 secs. Also when you get to power sink with stamina there'll probably be no need for end slots anywhere and you can put rechg in the attack instead.

Many people put 2 end in attacks to build fury. I could use brawl and charged brawl to get and help keep it up but I don't. There is only the suicide run into a big group to get it up in no time. If they aren't efficiently made dead by the team then I must be dead Would you be brawl and boxing? The eps of brawl and boxing will be proportionally higher to the dps than brawl and charged brawl (iirc).

Build up hastened, the 3rd rechg of Build up cuts the recharge by 1 sec and unhastened its 2 secs. I always look for something better than shaving 1 sec or 2 off with anything. Most of the time its recharged when I have to wait for the best attack chain to come around.

The 3rd stamina enhancement in stamina, your getting 1 extra endpoint from it every 16 seconds. Not worth it in my book with far too many other places for that slot especially with powersink to come.

A lot of the slots could be there waiting for sets but in general I find:

A passive = approx 2 slots
Toggles = approx 3 slots
Attacks (although anything with acc needed) = approx 5 slots

If putting a 3rd slot in anything read the change in going from 2 - 3.

[/ QUOTE ]

Cheers for that, didn't realise that some of the returns from 3rd enhancements were so minimal...never really been a person for stats, so i'll look to put those slots to better use. As for the disregard slotting comment, that probably didn't come across like I meant..on my current brute I have sets in the melee powers only, all 5 the Focussed Smite and the last slot is another Dam/End from another set...I've never looked at what the sets give bonus wise and tend to go for something a little cheaper.

Was mainly looking for advice on the powers themselves: i.e What could be dropped, moved forward that sort of thing and i'll worry about enhancements as and when they come up.

I've been thinking of rolling a Electric Melee brute for some time now, something a little less ST heavy than my current Stone Melee brute...only problem is, i've never really seen an Elec in action so don't know to much about the powers and have attempted to create a build, which I shall now present to you:

Couldn't really decide on what secondary to choose, so went for Elec Armour (yay for originality). The thing I really wanted to avoid the Aid Self route, which is probably shooting myself in the foot to spite my face...but I really don't like the look of it.

So what i'm really looking for is advice on the above build and/or any sample builds people care to throw up, also disregard the slotting...at lvl32ish i'll move onto sets, not the lavish ones...just the cheapy ones to get the better allround slotting.

All advice welcomed.

I could be tempted into making another alt to run through the SG theme team, but will wait till a time/day is decided to see if it conflicts with anything else.... I WILL NOT....I REPEAT, WILL NOT MISS HOME AND AWAY!!

If I do, will probably be a Corr (I got a thing for squishies) either a Dark/Dark or a Fire/Dark depending on what look I come up with.

I'm no expert on builds, so won't comment on the above...but i'll share my tip for building fury, I believe most Brutes apply the same method and that simply is, put brawl on auto and don't que attacks untill they've recharged. As silly as it sounds I found this is by far the quickest way the generate fury because the recharge time on Brawl is so quick, you'll always have attacks cycling...which in turn, builds fury.

Try it, you might like it.

Hi there, I'm doing a little research into Thug MMs for my GF and was wondering on the way people slot the Enforcer?
Seeing as they come with leadership as standard, I was thinking of slotting one of a few ways, either: 2Acc, 2Dam, 2ToHit...or 1Acc, 3Dam, 2ToHit...or 2Acc, 2DefBuff, 2ToHit...or finally 2Dam, 2ToHit, 2DefBuff.

Admittedly, the last one looks like it might miss the mark...but was thinking of that paired with full leadership from the power pools, but not sure what the actual DefBuff from the Enforcers are like...so not sure if its worth slotting.

What are the general thoughts on how to slot them?

Gunna have to bail on this one too chaps, forgot its my last day with the GF till after christmas....and she would kill me if I spent all day on here without her, and she doesn't have any alts high enough to take part.

Soz once again and gd luck with the TF, altho i'm sure you won't need it.

I'll sign up for this one, Xenostar lvl26 PB (human/dwarf)

[ QUOTE ]
we may have a meeting in order to discuss this project we're working on these days..


[/ QUOTE ]

You mean the doomsday machine....damn i've said too much now

I'm not dead people....just thought i'd open with that

Soz I haven't been around much or even posted, but i've been completely bogged down with work as well as having the flu, i'll try to get on Sunday (provided I don't have to go crimbo shopping) and if you could post what lvls you are roughly, i'll try an make up the ground.

Shame to see you go mate...but then you haven't been on for a while, neither have I come to think of it

However, I have you on my friends list...so not so much goodbye, more like a change of scenery...Oh, and I want a rematch on Fifa...I know the buttons now

Don't worry Ben, I ain't going anyway...its just that Nov/Dec are my busiest times of the year as a postman, so i'm not going to be round much in the evenings. Once christmas is done and dusted i'll be back to proper gaming schedule. Until then i'll only be able to make the occassional Sundays...December will be easier tho.

With any luck it should only be like this for about a month...once December gets here, i shut off all contact with friends as i'm generally too tired.

Will keep you all informed.

Sorry about the no-show this afternoon...went out for a few drinks last night and ended up staying at a friends, only got back a little while ago. Hope it didn't ruin anybodies plans.

Also I may not make it next weekend either, out for drinks again and not sure if i'm staying out or coming home...gunna be like this for a few weeks i'm afraid, won't get to see anyone during December really...so do most of my get-togethers in Nov. So if you like...you lot carry on if you like and if i'm there, i'll join. And if i'm about i'll pull together a team with who ever is around...just bare with me

How does that one look, i've pushed back one shield, travel and fitness and taken Placate, AS and BU as soon as they were avalible and slotted them quickly. Also lost the Fighting Pool, but took Leadership instead (mainly becasue I didn't see many other powers I fancied) as I want to get the most out of this toon by grabbing extra damage and defense. Swapped Powder for Flash...but still a little sketchy on the slotting of both.

[ QUOTE ]
The plan for my toon is to mainly PvE either solo, duo or teams...which ever I can get at the time. I will probably try a little bit of PvP on my travels, but this will only be for giggles...no means a pure PvP'er, that may change down the line tho.


[/ QUOTE ]

(Just noticed a mistake in first post, but to late to ninja edit...so made adjustment)

Don't really have time to commit to a superteam (having trouble getting to the one i'm in already), but just have to say....I love the sound of that team and the playstyle they've got.

[ QUOTE ]
Be warned, if you go AFK, you are fair game for Fallout bait. Yes, we will consider recalling you into a group and letting you die, then blowing you up. And no, that DOES NOT mean we will rez you ASAP. Sometimes you just have to be the bomb for the mission. AFK without warning you are AUTOMATICALLY are Fallout bait.

[/ QUOTE ]

That made me smile.

Will say first off that i've never played a Stalker before, so have no idea of importance of moves and the order that they should be taken, or even how to actually play one. Essentially I picked all the following powers based on my knowledge of Scrappers...but even then, i've never tried Claws. This is the reason i'm asking for advice.

The plan for my toon is to mainly PvE either solo, duo or teams...which ever I can get at the time. I will probably try a little bit of PvE on my travels, but this will only be for giggles...no means a pure PvP'er, that may change down the line tho.

Please can anyone offer tips and advice on what i've probably done wrong, sample builds would also be nice

If you wanted to carry on with Lallia and Adhara's FF story arcs, thats fine by me....doesn't matter what i'm doing as long as i'm playing and having fun, but we can decide that when we meet up.

As for the time, i'll be on for about 13:00ish (uk time)...remember that the clocks change tonight, so i'm counting 13:00 as if everyone put them back. People will probably be late...but who cares, just be there around that time and you won't get black-listed

I didn't noticed Chin around whole weekend and i hope everythings good and fine.



[/ QUOTE ]

I'm fine, just been tired this week...first week back being signed off injured. As for Sunday, was just thinking of a basic team-up and crack on with some missions. I think Cobalt Cobra and Lallia is the higher out of the group, so will probably just run paper missions for a bit until the rest catch-up to about lvl35...what does everyone think about that?

It'll be me playing the Earth troller...and I know that my Gf will just decimate everything with Fire, but i've already played through Fire control on my Dom and really wanted to try something different...i've always wanted a earth troller, just this way its easier...I tend to roll support toons for duos anyway.

WoooHooo...we're a Hot Topic

Anyway, we need a time...how does 14:00Bst sound? Tf shouldn't take more than 3hrs, so should be done around 5pm'ish.

My scrapper is a DM/SR, fyi...see ya tonight.
