  1. All of the others has suggested a late Decive, I think Decive early is the best way for a Illusion to solo missions. Especially the "Defeat <BLAH> and his minions" since you go to them ignoring everybody else and let them defeat themselfs. This doesn't give you the xp for the minions but it leads to a fast mission bonus. Secondary, Decive is quite a nice hold where they move around. In teams this is usually how I use Decive anyway.

    To team ghost a mission, especially useful in TFs, you would need Recall friend as well or possibly using GI and go in timed installments.

    Choose one Movement pool no more this early. Either toss out Hasten or toss out Air Sup and Fly and get Super speed. This would save you one power as well.

    The fitness pool, ah, here I am in a minority that think that you don't need it, but if you are going for Stamina make sure you have it at 20. I would toss them out and get Lingering Rad and Enervating field instead.

    Ah this was about slotting advice, I remember now.

    Let me start with general advice. The only piece of general advice I know. Don't slot anything more than three of each kind since after SOs ED will eat it all up.

    If you go Stamina, three-slot it with End modification as soon as you can. If you don't go Stamina, you need to put one or two End reductions into all the powers you are using commonly, or more to the point every power you use when you are in danger of running out of End, i.e. long fights. That will probably be, the rad toggles, Blind and/or Decive and Spectral wounds.

    AM should be six-slotted with three End modification and three Recharge reduction, this might not be as important if you are running Stamina.

    Phantom army should be slotted for Accuracy and three Damage but you don't need to slot it for recharge since what you are using it for after 32 at least is not damamge as much as a short-lived but very useful tank. Very very good for taking Alpha-strikes.

    Spectral terror is a soft area hold, that recharges fairly fast so I would slot it with one Accuracy and three Fear, but I wouldn't bother with anythig else.

    If you keeping Fly and is using it inside missions, slot it with End reduction more than speed.

    Don't forget to slot your holds (including Decive) with Accuracies (one or two) first and Hold (Confuse) after that, when you get to three of those you may add End Rrduction and/or Recharge reductions.

    This is of course only my opions and the way you play, especially if you want to do PvP or not is a very big factor in your power choises and slotting.

    There is but one golden rule in all this. If you are having fun you are doing it right.

    Then you better remember to never team with White Knight because he's bloody useless.

    I would never drop Fitness on a rad with all the toggles.

    [/ QUOTE ] in the thread Ill/rad in I9 (PvE) I went out and looked on other builds. I didn't find even one other Illusion/Rad without Stamina. So I wondered is White Knight unique? Am I really the only Illusion/Radiation without Stamina?
  4. Sometime after ten you probably want to do missions for one of Dr. Trevor Seaborn, Hugo Redding and Haley Philips. To find a Spelunker badge after you outlevel the contact can take longer that you thought.
  5. Finally six people (including me) was there. We go into the mission and I realize I'm still on Heroic since the TF last night, oh well there might be some MIs anyway since there is six of us. We found one in the entire mission. OK, new plan get out and I'll go and get invincible. This time not even one MI in the entire mission, one person DCs and doesn't come back. OK, back and sets difficulty to Unyielding, still no MIs. One more person DCs (or quits team, not really sure as he's back on the bandgehunter channel quite soon), but doesn't ask for a reinvite and since this is going pear shaped I don't blame him. Next plan (down to four people now) to goto PI and and try and get it thought Police Missions. The level 47 has a safeguard mission blocking the PMs, and I have three active missions The other two are too low to get missions in PI. Doing the bank mission in two minutes flat, and of to get a new PM. Enter the mission and realizes that there is not any bosses in here either, probably because the level 47 forgot to turn diff to something but Heroic. Now we called it quits and finished the mission so that the low levels at least should get a nice bonus before being dropped off in a safe zone.

    I think that was how it all happened After some experimenting I will try this again I think.
  6. Monday is here, just a reminder for those that need it. From about 7:45 pm (UK) I will be on as White Knight if not shout at me on @Black Light.

    Someone sent me a an in-game email, unfortunatly I didn't write down from whom it was before deleting it. I wish the email button would only light up red when you had unread mails, that way I would save them.
  7. I have the others in that set. Does it give the chance to all my powers or just the hold? I'm not sure about giving up a perfectly good 53 SO Hold for a 20% chance to do minor damage (and some minore resistance to Psi). Please advice.
  8. Given the lack of people showing up yesterday. We'll try one more time on Monday after the double XP weekend. If not enough people show up then I will assume that there is no interest for this.
  9. Tonight's the night. This is a reminder that at 8 pm (BST) I will try and get a team together and get people the Illusionist badge. As long as at least half is 46+ we should be OK.

    There will be no XP, this is a strict badge hunt

    Is there a level restriction for it. Psy-knight is lvl 32 (half bar to 33). If i can join, i will happy to help you and get the badge. No matter which day you do ( i am online everyday) pls send tell me from @Knightly and i will be there.

    Btw Psy-knight is a Mind/Rad controller i don't know if his powers will come in handy. If they are useless for this mission you can easily forget about me.

    Cheers.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Nope, no restrictions except that we need people to SK. I think there was a level 7 that joined last time.

    White Knight is Illusion/Rad and one of the things we need is people since if we're not at least five people in the team there will not be two bosses in each spawn and then we have halved the number of MIs spawning pets.

    I can SK Psy-Knight with White Knight, knights should stay together

    Bah, does it have to be Wednesday? Any other nnight and I could make it! gah!

    [/ QUOTE ]
    We can try and make one tonight? I wonder if we will get enough people though. Contact White Knight at ten to eight or so.
  12. Two months later I still have that mission, so if anyone wants an other go for Illusionist pets I'm happy to do an other run before I close it down.

    Is there an interest to do this at 8 pm (BST) on Wednesday the 13th of June?

    Edit: Since people have gotten miffed at me before because of me not saving their places when they said they're comming. If you are more than 10 minutes late you can join if there is room, I will not hold a slot for more than ten minutes.
  13. This is of course a play style choise, and this advice is based on my play style.

    I would toss out Fitness and Speed. It might slow you down a bit, but you would be able to get some nice powers. You will also need to stock up on End inspirations and slot some powers with End reductions.

    Flash, together with EM Pulse this is a very nice crowd stopper. Jump into the middle of the spawn, especially a spawn where someone is taking a beating. Flash followed but EM Pulse and everything is calm.

    Recall friend, since you have decive and superior invisibility you can always go to the boss, and then creating a nice corner for your friends before teleporting them. Ghosting will be your forte.

    Mutation, always popular with your team mates especially when they forget to bring enough Defeders to keep them alive.

    Group invisisbility, team defence and a non-toggle invisibilioty for yourself every now and again.
  14. Does anyone but my try and build tanks without Stamina, I have two tanks an Inv/EM at level 22 and a Stone/War mace at level 20. This far I haven't really felt any need for Stamina as long as I'm willing to slot End Red and gobble a few blue every now and again. I don't think I ever seen any other tank without it, so I'm wondering is Stamina necessary for a tank at higher level?
  15. Oh my not one reply in almost 16 hours. Not even one proud Ice/Storm controller out there that want to describe the unique advanteges and why everyone really should want to play one?

    If that is the case, then they really should boost that combo.
  16. One of my friends complain about the Ice/Storm Controller that the friend has. So I want someone to convince be and my friend that Ice/storm controllers are worthwhile. Please?
  17. Since one day ahead of time I don't see more than one person, Slitty_Kitty, reporting in for duty I guess it better to wait a week or two then try again. See this place for further developments.
  18. Seems like we are doing it again next week. So I need more volunteers.

    Wednesday 4th of April, 8 pm (BST) will be yet an other run for the illusionist badge if we get enough people.
  19. Well technically, it's not GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) but BST (Brittish Summer Time) , it would be 7 GMT.

    For mor information, http://www.timeanddate.com/library/a...es/eu/bst.html or ask Google.
  20. This isa reminder that we are hunting Illusionist pets tonight.
  21. We are full then

    Me
    Quilla (Pinkie)
    Cap Harmless
    Phil
    Dark_Blasphemy
    Free
    Maxi
    Dag

    Since all of my toons (both, but all sounds better) over 40 has this badge then someone can have my spot after we start.
  22. Since two people didn't get it I promised that we do it again next week, the same time. I.e. anyone that want to get it, contact me (you can read how above this) before Wednesday 28th 8 pm (UK)
  23. Last Line of Defence, is planning to try and do this Wednesday (21st of March) at 8 pm (UK), or so. Contact White Knight or if I'm not there try my global @black light1. (no the dot is not included, it's the end of the sentence.)

    As Pob said, you know where to find us if you want back, or just want a chat (maybe to describe to us this "real life" thing you are going to play for a while).

    Good luck mate, have a good life! *Huggies*
