Right, well the concept sounds similiar to mine, in that i noly use Human to get pets, and buff up etc.

That's VERY heavy slotting of Dark Nova. 1-2 End Mod's is all you'll need. You won't even need them in your blasts, because tbh, in 2-3 eveything'll be lying down and you can pop out to Human and Stygian.

Speaking of which, Stygian is fine with just the default slot with an Endmod in it. With 2 endmods in it, you'd get full health and full end off 3 minions.

Medicine pool is a nice choice. Gives great Utility. I myself went Precense pool for a bit more control and Taunt.

Granit Invis is nice, as I see you've picked it up, very nice team orientated.

Antagonise has a small Taunt duration, so you may want more slots in that if you get chance. Maybe those ones from Stygian.

Im guesing the old builder didnt let you put slots in your forms until after collecting them? That's now changed. (I see from your slotting of TP)
You'll be able to slot your inherents from level 1, so that might free up some slots for you.
I havent seen a builder built for it yet tho. I had to use a pen and paper.

Eclipse you'll just ant 3xrecred, and maybe 1 dmgRes.

I've found that mypets are quite accurate, so maybe swap out an Acc for a Dmg.
Out of my Nova form blasts, I've only slotted Emanation for Acc, all the rest seem fine with ToHit Buffs

Again, slotting Dwarf for Endred is really not useful. Putting those 3 into the forms 3 most used powers would benefit you more.

Whoops, just noticed no Quasar. Any reason you're leaving out your nuke?.........and not slotting Unchain Essence for damage? these are your two biggest hitters. damage wise

APart from that it's looking nice, I really enjoy playing this way, and I hope you will too [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

You feel you HAVE to wear either a Purple/Black costume, or Baby Blue/White

Nooo!

Curses! another friendly forum browser falls to the lack o' love!

Happy Ranger-versary Everybody!

Agreed, I've run my Earth/TA to 30 now without Stamina. Like I said, lay down a mass hold, then debuff with TA. TA is VERY end light. Even laying a constant chain of arrows (whi you'll get with just Hasten and pre-requisite slots) you'll never run out of end.

Id recommend picking up the AoE hold. Draw time will be your biggest foe to overcome, so switching between Primary and Secondary is a big no-no. Hence why i lay something down, then cycle my whole TA chain before returning to my Primary.
It could work for Ice though without the AoE, seeing as though Perma-Ice slick is available very easily.

Switching between Primary and Secondary just to cycle ST holds will have you grinding your teeth........except when you find out you can hold a boss in 2 seconds from level 10 onwards [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Take all the arrows, love them all. Without all the arrows you'll just be specifying in small areas of debuff, when it has the potential to cover them all (except -regen).
A full TA chain is devastating.

Enjoy!

Maybe even 4 settings, with the 4th spraying it as a thin mist rather than a direct bolt (for CE)

Concepts ftw!

I think TA would make quite a nice Ice Secondary tbh.

With the -spd, -rec on all Ice's powers, itd stack nicely with the now-perma Glue Arrow.

Also Ice has a LOT of hard control, so you could simply lay Ice Slick or Glacier, then whip out the Bow to debuff the mobs to crimminy!

Works well with my Earth/TA and i think Ice's synergi could be even higher.

Not to mention how cool Oil Slick would look, bursting into delicious Orange flames on your beautful crisp blue ice slick............ok i need a lie down and a manly beer, grr, motors and such...... [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

But make up your own mind, try http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/powers/ to check activation times, up-coming powers and general know-how.

Good Luck!

Kron' lil explanation could also then explain Freezing Touch and Ice Patch.......

I also agree, it's fabulous as a controller secondary. LAy the AoE hold, then it's DeBuff City.

Lifting from another thread, i picked up the numbers ;

Is Whirling Hands just the same chance of Disorient as the other Nrg melee's?

I've got this build too, (only to measly 8). I was planning on depending heavily on Fire Cages - Flashfire ghetto hold, and topping up the disorients with my melee's.

I hear Positron himself plays this build too, so we'r in good company at least....

Having been part of an 8man, 30+ team with 4 Khelds including myself recently, I noticed first hand how differently people build and play their Khelds.

There were 2 Shades and 2 Bringers.

The Bringers were varied in playstyle. The one concentrated on his Blaps and general owning (take a bow "Badge" if you read the forums), while the other switched between Nova and Dwarf to assist me in my Dwarf Tanking, when ambushes turned up.

The other Shade and I were very different (mayb i just noticed more because of the friendly comp, and knowing the name of the powers in her info).
She had taken the Medicine and Fitness Pools, whereas Id taken the Stealth, Speed and Stealth Pools.

She was able to go Shadow Recall - Rez (take a bow Shadeeza Hood), while i could keep the team topped up with Grant Invis, and add a lil control to my build. (nothing like popping out of a form into Invoke Panic, looks and sounds great, effective too [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img])

It was a nice combo, and we both had very different playstyles. Id elected to Tank for the team as im quite Dwarf-slotted-heavy. While she stayed in Nova form generally.

So the questions are ;

What Power(s)/slots in your build set you apart from the other Shades or Peacies?
and Are you a jack of all trades, or have a more set role in a team you join?

EDIT : I'll start [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

1) I've taken the Presence Pool, and slotted my forms a lot heavier than my Human powers. Hoping to combine Eclipse, with Orbitting death, Inky Aspect and Presence too become quite an effective aggro-grabber/Tank if we need one (although Mez's would be my bane)

2) At the moment Im playing the more Tank-heavy role, generaly with 2 pets circling me to add pure damage, I've been suprised at being able to Tank a group of 4 +4 PP's at level 33. But all in all im a Jack, i can double mire and Nova with the best of them. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I've been having serious amounts of fun on my Earth/TA.

So many location AoE's, so little time [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I recently respecc'd the lil beaut, and i can Tank like there's no tomorrow! Stupid amounts of fun!

I feel now at 28 that i have all my "Controller" tools that i'll need.
At 32 it's obviously pet time, to optimise my Tanking, then 35 = damage from Oil Slick, 38 is another AoE hold......zomg.

Then EPIC's i'll be taking Stone.
Yummy perma 1300 HP, Rock Armour and a bit of fun with Hurl and Fissure [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Can't wait.

Great idea FG, i'll try to swing by quite early if i get chance.
Even if i can't, i PuG quite a lot so i'll spread the word.

Indeed, definately one of the more active SG's a while back. I used to end up in teams with SAAL's all the time.

Glad to hear you're back. Good luck.

Good point Toerag, we wouldnt wanna give the wrong impression [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think all being in the colours, but different variations looks better anyway. Looks more like Heroes coming together to fight a common foe, rather than an army [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Welcome back Avi!

You scream, I scream, we all Scream for EyeBeam!

Huzzah, victory was ours!

I think the PB's did a gr8 job Tanking once Jum left.
If any of you need PBAoE madness anytime soon, look me up.

@Amazing Shnyet

Mmmmmmmmmmm may the Quick Reply button forever increase our spam potential!

Just a lil thing but i think you'd want Aim and Buildup both 3 slotted for Recharge.
For both PvE and PvP.

I dont know much about Elec but THESE guys do. So read that thread and see what comes up in ur brain.

Enjoy
