i will be getting freezing rain right after stamina. you just have so many end hungry powers plus toggles you need it.

this is my friend's character and i figure fly/hover would be easier to navigate. also, hover allows you to gale or attack down, keeping mobs in the pack when you group.

here's what i've come up with so far - i put brief notes what i think is absolutely necessary to enhance first

bolts will need acc first because you dont have many skills for direct damage and you dont want to miss
i'm using 2 level 15 invention endurance reductions on lightining bolt, snow storm, ball lightning, steamy mist and it makes it much easier - i cant wait for stamina

Level 1: Charged Bolts - acc and dmg
Level 1: Gale - acc and end reduction
Level 2: Lightning Bolt - acc, end red, recharge speed
Level 4: Snow Storm - end red
Level 6: Hover
Level 8: Ball Lightning - end red, acc, dmg
Level 10: Short Circuit - end red, end mod
Level 12: Steamy Mist - end red (this+hover means you can fly over most enemies and head for the end goal)
Level 14: Fly
Level 16: Swift
Level 18: Health
Level 20: Stamina - not sure how many end mods yet
Level 22: Freezing Rain
Level 24: Aim
Level 26: Tesla Cage
Level 28: Hasten
Level 30: Hurricane
Level 32: Voltaic Sentinel
Level 35: Thunderous Blast
Level 38: Tornado
Level 41: Lightning Storm
Level 44: Thunder Strike
Level 47: Charged Armor
Level 49: Power Sink

I'm going to bump this because I'm interested as well and I can't find anything about elec.

I'll tell you what I've found so far in the mean time.

Not solo friendly as your only real dmg comes from Charged bolts and Lightning bolt (with slow recharge). Follow that with low accuracy due to training enh and a miss means even harder. Endurance hog. Steaming mist, snow storm, ball lightning drain you fast. Short circuit seems crap so far but maybe better with SOs?

Advice now is 2 or 3 end reductions (try to craft level 10 or 15 invention ones) on just about every skill except Charged bolts. You'll need 2 recharge reductions and 1 accuracy on lightning bolt for sure. You can change it later with better enhancements.

Gale is another end use but not too bad. You will want an accuracy on that because you have very little crowd control and this will keep enemies off you for a few seconds.

Try to use line of sight and wait for your skills to recharge.

thanks!

i'm sorry but what do you mean inherent? did i miss some patch notes or something?

I just got my new pc with windows 7 home 64 bit and now I cant get my side mouse buttons to work. Also, I can't use one of my keybindings even though it's still in there.

I like to use the ` key next to 1 for extra attacks but it acts like it doesn't know what that key is anymore.

Any ideas?

Thanks

mind/energy is nice if you want to stay ranged. lots of knockback to keep mobs off you too.

thank you

I'm at work so i cant check but my friend who plays said he has no health bar with the options menu etc... Did he hide this by mistake? How can you bring it back?

Thanks

my very first char was a gravity/empathy controller. i would guess that's still rare due to most people like to actually kill a mob in less than 10 min lol

good for groups but near impossible to solo

not a set but i'd like to see non weapon classes still be able to carry one as a costume piece.

for example:
canes
staffs
whips
boombox
etc...

mind/energy - confuse one, mez another, dominate another, confuse another, levitate and power push those in your face mobs over and over... never gets tiring

no info on elec? someone has to have a guide on this.

i'd like to see more on this combo as my noob friend is trying it out and i have no info for him.

cant find any guides on elec

8:30 - here they come!
ROFL

where can i read more on these APP powers? What level do you get them etc... I haven't seen a char builder with them yet.

Thanks

i've only gotten one to level 10 and i save it for the 2nd to last fight to make sure i get extra umph when fighting LTs and Bosses. since low levels are usually quick to clear i figure that's the safest bet. later on, with more recharge, i plan to use it almost everytime it's ready.

the face on the little ones look like hood ornament cow skulls. i'm not impressed. the medium one isnt too bad

Anyone else think this? I wish there was an option to customize them a little.

i'm doing mind/energy and loving it so far. i also have a controller which plays nothing like a dominator. it's almost like dominators are built backwards where you're damage first and control second... or at least played like it

controller = control then assist
dominator = control then blow the #*$&# out of stuff

i must have a messed up builder lol or i just copied it wrong

anyway, i figured invis would let me get into a setup position or something especially for pvp but if it's not needed...

I think i might too. i like the feel so far

here's my plan - comments please

i like levitate but just cant fit it in - well maybe i can if someone thinks i got a crap skill in here

1 Mezmerize
1 Power Bolt
2 Bone Smasher
4 Dominate
6 Combat Jumping
8 Confuse
10 Power Blast
12 Swift
14 Super Jump
16 Hasten
18 Power Boost
20 Stamina
22 Total Domination
24 Acrobatics
26 Stealth
28 Health
30 Terrify
32 Invis
35 Total Focus
38 Mass Confusion
41 Power Burst
44 Scorpion Shield
47 Personal Force Field
49 Summon Tarantula

i was going mind/psi too but now i'm concerned. if i go energy what skills should i get and avoid? i'm gonna mess around now before next week to try it out.

thanks

i just recommended elec/kin to my new friend. i really like repel and was looking for more input. he's stuck on elec as primary but open for whatever is the easiest for secondary. remember, he's brand new so i'd rather have him fight about what buttons to push than fight a bad power combo

thanks

cool how about travel powers too?

super jump with fire instead of yellow dust rings! flying with electricity sparking behind you etc...
