RE: MCX's build

levitate looks better now, not sure u need 3 accs, it wont ever hurt tho!
dominate looks set to burn BFs likenothing else now. the incresaed acc was a must.
u may want to look for a recred in heal other, but i understand its pretty fast anyway.
CJ looks much better, although i would go endred not defbuff.
i understand the TK issue with end, but 2 endreds in SJ? i can keep up with avergae ppl well enough with just swift hurdle and cj. duels u will be in and out i appreciate, team matches u wont want to be moving away from the teamstoo much, travel is for if u die mostly imo.
health looks much better now.
CM and fort looking beautiful .
really dont think u need the endred in acro, i run sprint, cj, lightning field, charged armour and acrobatics with no endreds, the ONLY one that i have to drop if i am struggling is lightning field.
AB looks better now, actually gonna get a few uses out of it.
Power Bolt looks nice, 1 of the dmg SOs could be a recred though, containment kinda makes it silly anyways, preference and testing though.

let me know when u want to try this out.

ooooooo, i have tyrant arc on my blaster *logs in to CoH*

[/ QUOTE ]live the dream, i'm back home about 11 45 tonight i think, i'll be on until loki is 50 or asleep

i think i was the 1st blaster to 50 in the sg, i think. I also, erm, founded the EU SG

as for alts i have 6 heroes in the SG (i dont think Plight Baubler is) and 2 villains in the VG , i think i have the most heroes actually sinergy , not sure tho tbh

as for the 3vp, GET IN! im so happy to see u all getting into it, i think next time we are all together we should defo shout out to fight another SG >: ). we do need to refine those builds a bit 1st tho

Plight

band practice tonight so i should do something like 1-6 pm and 12-2 am. m ore carnies if i have them, im not sure if its my last arc tho!!! and we beat Giovanna already, so maybe it ties up soon, can't remember.

Scape, i know it can be effective - but the way i play it just doesn't warrant being in my build. But i'm certainly up for an arena match.

And plight, sleeps would of course affect flight as well, was thinking more along the knockback and not having to 'get up'.

And i wouldn't stand around anyway, 2 melee hits and i'm off leaving a couple of ranged attacks as i go!

One other thing to note is that whilst energy secondary doesn't quite match up in terms of out and out damage, it does have some very very nice powers - and with boost range you truly can be a blaster rather than a blapper.

Elec/nrg is a very deadly combo.

[/ QUOTE ]all very true, i do laugh at the mere thought of ranged damage tho, u should see me healing thru fire primary DoT

Plight

im pretty sure that the stuns and sleeps in elec mele drop fly just as well as detoggle powers, and tbh i wouldnt be going toe to toe with a sonic blaster without BFs on me unless i knew u were held, u would be surprised how fast insps are activated, i twitch not click, so melee with blaster isnt the prob, its the ones that run

anwyays, enough, elec blasters pwn u all once the BFs are gone

o and they blatantly do more for teams than the others too, just need to slot em and build em differently

Plight

Spork is doing this as Texas Thunder when he hits 24, the SG will all be along to help, stick ur head in the OotCS channel for updates, but dont malinger if u dont plan to contribute pls (hes 22 now)

Plight

im about then mate, look me up, if the 50s are on u can sk with us

doing carnies arc atm

Plight

OMFG1 look what Loki typed!?

clicky

Can't really say what's best but I can say this...

Energy - Primary is great! Fast recharge on most, and some heavy damage. Eats up end but Stamina (when you finally get it) solves the problem.

Electricity - Secondary - Sucks! Other than Electic Fence to hold runners down while I smack them with Energy bolts I actually dumped all of my Elec powers in my first respec. Gimped!

[/ QUOTE ]

Gah - what are you on about!! Elec secondary has some of the best blaster secondary powers!

Havoc punch and charged brawl do huge damage.(more than the energy secondary energy punch and bonesmasher)
You have a melee hold.
Lightning field for pesky stalker 'outing', and combine with a good tank, kinetics defender (fulcrum shift ftw!) you have a massive endurance draining hp reducing aura.
There is lightning clap for those sticky situations when surrounded.
Power sink for when you run out of endurance
And of course build up.
Ignore thunderstrike tho as that IS pants.

[/ QUOTE ]ROFL at 1st quote here, i think blasters, melee heavy ones in particular, are not ur thing, i also think /elec rocks most ppls worlds from once side or the other

to kronosy, erm, TS has almost as much dmg as TF, a high chance to mag 2 stun target, mag 4 (bosses without uber resist) knockback to target and a very high chance to KB mag in an AoE, not to mention AoE splash dmg, so in a mob it actually does more than TF. combind with how safe elec as a total theme makes u, TS is not a risky power in many situations.

[/ QUOTE ]


AfAIk, TS has same damage as TF, but with 'added extras'. Point is tho, you can get hp, cb out in the same time as the activation of TS - which together, is more damage than TS or TF. Hence imo, TS is pants.
I'd avoid TS altogether, too slow for me.
Personal preference tho.

[/ QUOTE ]kronos watch this series of events

aim
BU
charged brawl (acro off, depending on AT, this would be for squishy)
havoc punch - KB most likely, failing that, sleep
thunder strike - even if the KB happened before,the animation hits as they are springing up
dead person

anyone who isnt mezzed at the end of this is pretty tough (i7 melee ATs fair enough, but thasts another method)

there is also this method for none acro squishies with BFs

aim
BU
thunder strike - KB, total focus cannot do this
charged brawl
havoc punch
dead person

in the second one swap the order of havoc punch and thunder strike if u need to take acro off or 1st (note that sleep cuts thru acro with about 60% chance)

so, TS = pants, i think not, infact, its the very reason my 44 on onion is not as good as my 50 on deviant, stimulant has less to do with it, TS is what mashes things up for u, it ha the single most utility/damage/mez out of all the /elec powers

Plight

ahoy again, right, some things i think are very wrong with this build so here goes.

if levitate is there to do damage slot recred, 3 recred 1 dmg 2 acc, this stacks thru pretty much anything, thats where the pvp trollers burn your BFs, containment >> SO dmg

i'd put anther recred or hold in dominate

abs pain, not sure if u need this, however i personally love the power

1 slot in CJ, no point in 2, put either endred or jump in it

res? not sure if this is a pvp power, tbh in pve a wakey and CM will do the same job. if u were going to use it i would say more recred, for pvp, drop it tho

u slotted SJ? 1 jump/endred

unslot health, it does nothing

acro doesnt need endred at all, it costs next to nothing, just put 1 in it, no defbuffs

AB needs 3 recreds, its ur best single target buff, and when u get fort in with 3 defs u will turn ur blasters into machines!

do u really need recred and endred in power blsat? not a very team theme there imo, however good in solo

2 endred in TI? no need imo, not sure what it costs, but most blaster shields cost next to nothing, test it and see

i would look at dropping something for fort, power blast and res are the no brainers for me, fort with 3def 3 recred, or even 2/2/2 recred/def/tohit would work, tbh i think 2/2/2 would be best in pvp, will allow ur team to hit far more far more often and get hit less (we also have FF defs remember).

pretty tight build tho imo, not sure what u didnt pick off hand cos im not best at the sets, imo taking Abs pain over heal other was a bad move leaves u too vulnerable, and all but double DPed regens and tanks never really need a kick as big as abs pain.

tbh, if u are going team, u will be ok solo, but should expect to be owned relatively when compared to a solo build, u should be aiming for max buffs and containment/control, there should be very little worry about damage in there (seeing as alone i can pretty much spam 2 AoEs with AB on me)

I might crack out hero planner later, but its not relaly my thing :/

Out of interest, any other Swords in the 3VP Tournie tomorrow night? Or is Coin the only one?

Difficult to tell with so many alts out there

[/ QUOTE ]unfortunately not coin, i dont think compo and mars knew about it, and i have rehearsals every week at 3vp time

saying that, I'm up for getting all the mains on and fighting another SG in a rumble one day in hte next few weeks, please metion it in the G channel . on the same subject, please can ppl get on test and try out builds which they think are more suitable for team pvp if they are interested, im happy to help with testing etc.

Plight

talking about the shards, this is what i like to see!

good pwnage tonight boys, lets also pls try and get some more of the old salvage refined, i put an expert work bench in, but if u can all pool the salvage to either myself or dreamer (unless theres a particular recipe uhave ur eye on, then let ppl know and get what u need for it) itd be helpful.

GL Jaz in the house, my old housemate from uni, bout time! his new grav FF troller will be in need of teams aplenty for hitting 50 ASAP apparently. i got lots of low alts jazman

im thinking about putting 1 big secure teleport room in for the beacons, what u think? costs 600k instead of 2 x 150k, but we get defence in their too. dreamer? or any1? can we put another control room in without upgrading plot size?? i have a monitor thingemy to make more control, but we are up to the limit of items in thast room .

Plight

good to hear MCX

I should really sort out my ice dom, started the other day but meh :/.

GL with the workies etc,and hope ur new PC works propah1

Plight

Villains what!

ok just to get the ball rolling and to encourage people to get excited about i7 and the new villains, here's what i'm planning, and what I know others are planning to the best of my knowlede.

ME!1: elec elec brute
Marius: elec elec brute
DreamWeaver: dark dark corr
Meddler: thugs X MM
Madvillain: thugs X MM
Fire-Beetle: plant thorn dom

there is also Major Pain, Sinergy X, X Zor, Composure, Lotus Assasin, Elixa, Dark Infinity and Cebriones to consider, plus a few of the others like teh Grey Lensman and Didier but i've no idea what they plan to make, Sin and X have millions of alts to play about with, but we'll see. MCX is planning on a 'i've got my PC working and exams out of the way build afaik' and Jaz may well be around too now he's finished uni, i just need to go pwn his [censored] IRL to remind him .

so please let us know what your plans are, no need to go for particularly minmaxed or PvP builds, but I would like to see some /theermal or /kins to offer nice team buffs on top of the MM buffs we will prolly get a bit of love from.

If i missed you off the list, it's prolly cause I've no idea what ur planning yet (coin, spork ). I will also send monsieur Flash an RL email or something to see what he's up for, might help to give him a nudge, but he's really busy with work, and I can imagine his baby and wife too, RL 1st remember kids .

EDIT: not sure but I think we can get our mate Mr Mike Black on this one too, need to check with him, but I'm guessing with mars around full time you will be too Mike? and i forgot to mention Ed, NTrailZ himself is sizing up the builds for i7 and is hopefully coming back for some love, his glue is back apparently. Not sureabout Loki, but if she has CoV then I'm sure we can sort somat out

ao and also, old alts, we may need to do some rearranging, but I'm sure X can tell me who's not ben on forever, other than my dom

Plight

good point n00b head, where u been!? my msn has been off lately for resources, but no doubt we'll speak soon, i7 is coming and it looks promising for the people who say they are rerolling

coin, yeah fair enough mate, but tbh, for me, if i cant get a badge on my own or through mostly natural play i'm not too fussed, i have the 1st 4 damage badges on plight and the first 3 held badges just for playing him, im sure with some serious pwnage and healing we can get there. My kin is now on SOs too so should be healing a lot more.

MCX, not sure which TFs u mean : / hero SGs don't have any SG specific trials available as of yet afaik, but any trial is good, respec 1 never hurts any1 and every can usually come, or Posi one weekend .

and SINERGY, why didnt utell me it was your birthday, i keep my quiet cos i dont like em, but u should have said hope u had a good day anyways

prestige is clocking up nicely, if any1 is bored, soloing duel boss mobs in PI gives u 250 prest per pair which is nice .

Anyone up for a shadowshard TF one day? tbh i cant do it til next sunday evening or maybe monday afternoon/evening, failing that, the sunday after (which i may be away for) but some time i would like to do the one(s i havent, coin and I can defo pwn some AV spawns with kamikaze skills

Plight

True guys, but it doesn't amount to much more than PLing your badges? I think I could just about bare this if everyone on the team was 50 so there was no xp involved, but it still doesnt quite sit well with the OP for me. I know that day to day missions are less intense than the method hammerfall suggests, and I agree it sounds good, but I think if you just keep your empaths/healers on crazy 8 teams then we should do ok, I'll be playing my kin a bit more hopefully, and plight T and B are always healing

Plight

good stuff boys! but bad news1, healing others is the only thing counted methinks

Plight

sinergy's level 14 ish alt, dreamweaver, both emps, i have a 21 kin troller, there's elixa who is emp, she's on a fair bit lately, other than that not too many hardcore heal types.

Plight

P.S. Mars has aid other

i dont but i met her IRL, i'd help her ding, and as i said, loki was there i think so would be happy to help her too

Plight

ahoy. looks good, i agree with no need for tacs/assault if not pvping, also the tohits in aim bu were right to be dropped, i'd keep the double acc for soloing tho, thats what i had pre ED. the 2 AoEs ice rains thingemies stack nicely but i never really rated them on their own, but its changing.

the 1 hting i do have to offer is that if you are running this end heavy build, u wont wont to keep SJ on, and prolly not CJ when it gets tight on end (blastrollers can drop all their toggles once u have everyhting held, helps a lot if u know what ur doing). for this i would recommend slotting swift both to save end (no CJ/SJ/Sprint) and also improve ur melee performance, u will be using a lot of TF jousting i imagine and it all helps, having swift slotted on my pure melee blaptroller made a rediculous difference, but only do it if u have some spare slots and have tested it (spare i would say is things like recreds/endreds in powers u dont really need them in).

i u do go elec ur laughing tho u get end back on some hits, powersink not CP (but 35 not 18?) and personally i can afford to slot a recred into every attack and not burn out my endurance in almost any scenario.

GRATS MAZ! sorry i wasnt there to help, but we barely cross paths online , if coin (*scowl* ) had told me i would have come with.

maybe we can team now, i have a lot of upcoming alts and am quite enjoying them

grats again little maz

Plight

Seems grats are in order, nice to see Loqanna Elianna was there, unless of course some1 looks identical to her PB : /

well done mate
