Primal forces would be very nice on a kinetics. Power boosted Fulcrum Shift, Speed boost or Siphon Speed anyone?

Regarding the idea...if you need a date for the event feel free to post here some details about your charcter and maybe some catchy note that will intrigue..however avoid mixing irl with the game cause tsuch thing can only end bad. If you are a lone toon in Paragon and need a date for the Valentines event post it here with some character details if u want and let the pairing commence...be advised any kind of post that will simply derail this whole thread i will ask Bridger to remove.

Thanks

Err, ok.

I'm Xanthus, I'm level 50 and I'm a controller. I like long walks in the PvP zones, trips to the Arena and have been known to DJ on Evolution radio on occasion. You know you want to go with me because I'm teh awesomzes.

I can probably taxi from Port Oakes with my villain.

Way to help the raid.

Maybe we'll all take capes and auras "cause we like them" and crash the server, eh?

Its a very good power and if nothing else removes a player from combat for a time

About 2 seconds, for someone who knows what's happened to them. Basically, when you're confused you automatically target one of your allies, your opponents come up with BLUE names when you target them and your allies come up with orange names. Tab selecting will cycle (I think) through everyone, no matter if blue or orange, and you can attack everyone.

It actually works better if you use it on trollers or MMs pets, since they don't have intelligence to retarget and they keep bashing at their master. It's a double bonus as well, since when the pet kills the master, the pet dies too!

last night we couldnt seem to confuse MM pets, as for the duration, Agent Matrons confuse seems to last an eternity on me

[/ QUOTE ]

MMs pets have resist to confuse if the MM is nearby/not running PFF from that inherent power they get, I think.

And the duration doesn't matter. You can still target AND attack the enemy, you just have to be very careful about the names you click and attack.

Why have him, when you could have me?

[/ QUOTE ]

Cause Empath will not challenge his date to an arena duel to pwn her first.... lol

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not that obsessed with PvP, am I?

If anyones bringing awakens, it's going to be me. I'm pro at faceplanting.

(And empath, my secondary makes people feel good too....)

[ QUOTE ]
I'll be there...I don't suppose anyone is looking to date a weedy Empath?

[/ QUOTE ]

Corrected.

On top of all this, if the new patch gets in VILLAINS CAN GO TOO!

Thats right, they changed PDP in the most recent patch on the US test server! It's now inter-dimensional with different entrances to before, is WAY bigger and looks infinitely cooler than it did before. See for yourself!

I guess this means that (bizarrely) heroes will be able to take villain dates and vice-versa.

Of course, all this is assuming that the patch goes live before the event.

Singularity cannot tank.

No matter what powers you use, or combination thereof, there is no way to make him tank. He will always move so that he is behind you casting his powers from range. Not only that, but he has repel which makes tanking impossible.

If ya's want challengers for PvP I'm sure the PD's can rustle up a team for ya.

What he said.

Cheers guys. Finally gave it an forced my SG to get me those two extra levels, since Imaginary told me I needed combat jumping (and of course, I had to slot it).

Took me long enough, according to a friendly NPC I've clocked up 559 hours on Xanthus (however, I also have chronic alt-itis, so that might go some way to explaining why its taken me so long).

So yeah, thanks to everyone who I've teamed with EVAR, the Evo Radio boys and of course everyone in the Paragon Defenders, but especially Needle since if he hadn't let me join the SG after that transcendence trial I probably wouldn't still be here now.

I guess I better get on with playing a freakin' Warshade now then.

I don't know what it is, but its high.

Problem is, it can't really tank since it likes to move back to behind you no matter where you drop it. I tend to just drop it and then forget about it. The only place where I really strategically try and place it is in PvP, for trapping people without KB protection in corners (although even then it doesn't work well, since the sing seems to be able to KB people through itself).

Oh, and as for healing it? I slap a powerboosted AB on it if I'm soloing and it takes too much damage.

You want a pvp toon?Fine respec into PvP build and expect some PvE underperformance.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bah, disagree with that. You'll find that most PvP built toons to better in PvE than people with a PvE build, simply because PvP toons are so insanely min/maxed.

Not to be annoying, but didn't you already post a recruitment thread here? I believe there's already a thread for SG recruitment, perhaps you should post in that rather than filling up our boards with repeat topics =)

Anyone have any suggestions for the next project? We're itching to do another one

Xanthus demands CoV style All Your Base Are Belong To Us!

Isn't arctic air a PbAoE stealth? Does it stack with Steamy Mist?

On the subject of 1 on 1's i agree there shouldnt be a rule there that would prevent them being attacked while it is going on. However, 1 on 1's have their place in sirens etc just as much as in the arena, it all comes down to common curtesy. I'm not saying that if your bounty is constantly having 1 on 1's all night meaning you cant clear them you shouldn't attack, i would I just mean that 1 on 1's happen there, and usually they do no harm. So why not?

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess I kinda agree. However, if you wish to 1vs1 I'd say you should arrange it via tell rather than broadcast and have it somewhere that people don't usually go (like the top of a building or behind the villain base in the water). If I see a villain, I don't stop to think to myself "Is he AFK? Is he 1vs1? Does he have his hands on the keyboard? What time is it where he is?", I just attack.

Or, y'know, you could use shift+number to select team members. It's what I do, and then my main powers are in trays numbered 1-5, which are activated by pressing the numbers 1-5. If I want to heal someone, I use alt+2. If I want healing aura, I use alt+1. The only power I have bound is clear mind, to the numpad (with each number corresponding to a team slot). Everything else I click.

What they all said! Would you be offended if I was to spam this on my Evolution Radio show?

With so many people interested, it's kinda tempting to turn this into another Union vs Defiant match. The last one went OK, but a lot of our players didn't show (and I understand you guys were missing a few as well).

At least he knows how serious we are

If you're serious, and can make the test server, the Paragon Defenders would definitely be up for training against you guys.
