Blackie

More than welcome to join up with ANBU if u still looking. We got a semi active sg, 9 or 10 members on everyday, with loadsa more who just pop in, see gart on, and dissapear again if u wanna join up, drop any of us priveldged ANBU members a tell

The abuse, the annoyance, destroying my base........took a long hard think to think if u deserved my best wishes. Well...Gratz matey King of the Muppets finally hits the big 50, well done.

Tempted to do it on my dom whose also 27, but undecided with the free respecs of i8 due out soon..hmmmmm, yer suppose ill put my name down. Im on tuesdays and thursdays most of the night, and after 10 most other nights. Drop me a /t @Blackie if u do get a team. Theres another guy in my sg whose also 27, corruptor looking to do this.

Yeah i noticed the lvl 38 power was pretty poor, problem i have is the main (ice) is for holds/slows etc and energy, total focus aside, doesnt have many high damage attacks, so I really gotta take it. total focus, bone smasher imo are must haves, and then you have the snipe, which Im in two minds whether to take, specially when the two mains are melee, so you have power bolt and power burst being the only other two that seem to do any kind of damage. Im only lvl 27 at the min and with the i8 free respecs, can ty a few varied builds and see how it goes.

PVE this toon goes well on highest setting, pvp without any major damage is pretty sucky. Im hoping total focus will change that, but im kinda thinking it may be worth trying a different build.

up to lvl 23 now, and loving this toon. Mainly been soloing or teaming with a corruptor, and relentless missions run with ease. Iv changed the slotting slightly, but not to any great extent and things seem to be going well. Taken power push in place of stealth purely for pve in the meantime, which ill swap over with shiver when i hit 30 for pvp. Artic air i really aint to sure about, tbh iv never used it once in pve, partly as the spawns are only 2/3 and theres no need, but also as it doesnt seem make a massive difference....is it worth keeping for higher lvl?

Back to the slotting again, the end reductions i put in most attacks, apart from powers that make a big difference in the damage/hold areas. Block of ice, is the only attack i use as soon as its recharged without an end reduction in it, as imo 6 slotting this with hold/acc/recharge is essential. Glacier, didnt pay to much attention to the recharge time..wow..no end red there, might actually do without as iv heard its not up to much, and aoe in pvp not really my cuppa tea.

Appreciate the help

Ello been trying to get the badges as I go on my dom, but managed to miss this out somehow. If anyone has the miss...Bust up the dockworkers strike....given by lorenz ansaldo, would really appreciate an in game tell @Blackie or Blackest Night will be the toon, or reply to this. Im on most days, and after 10.30ish at night.

If your reading this and are approaching the lvl 20 mark, think of me when u ding, and go see good old lorenz...we can sort out a little infamy reward for u for the miss

Black Psycho, ss/invul with ghost widow

Interesting villains from anbu...............im thinking u may have bumped into gartana :P

Didnt seem to popular a combo when checking the forums, so thought id give it a go. Mainly built for pvp.....any advise would be appreciated
Out of interest, although im liking it and will be continuing, is there a reason for very few ice/ene builds

was kinda put of playing my brute after collecting a fair bit of debt from AV missions after the realease of i7, and thought last night when i got the eb miss, it would be the same. How wrong, ballista, barracuda and one other eb that i cant remember, all went down with ease. Yeah i had to use unstoppable as my end was a bit low, but i was relatively surprised how easy they were, and that was +2 lvl.

Appreciate the response Been pvpin past few nights and rep hitting on 220 now, so im pretty pleased with the toon so far. The build dont seem to end heavy at the min in pvp, pve's a different story but half the fact that we never stop to rest. Anyway....i like the look of that build suggested, my only concern is dropping this leadership pool. I think my plan will be to keep it until i hit 40, then check to see wat rv's like, hopefully busier than warburg. I like being able to see the stalkers well in advance, annoys the hell out of them so if sirens looks the place to be, ill most likely keep it, if rv seems to be as busy, ill drop it as ill be getting fa from the epics, and then prob go with hasten and ss.

Cheers again

Hardest toon iv built to date with so many "must have" powers. This toon gonna be purely for pvp so any comments on the build below would be appreciated. Pay little attention to the lvls of slotting as this was just rattled up quickly on builder. Stalker hunting is part of the plan, hence the leadership pool, and i always like having some form of heal, so aid self was a must have for me. Any comments greatly appreciated Cheers

Im guessing i may be to late as usual but if theres still a free spot, id like to sign up. My globals @Blackie if needed Cheers

Well, if you still have yet to find an SG m8, ur more than welcome to join ANBU. We are 7th in SG rankings, so maybe not the best, but we do have a good friendly bunch of guys and are still pretty active, with a few more returning with i7 on the way. A good few of us are in sirens/warburg each night, so if u see anyone from ANBU, drop us a tell or ill do the same if i see u.

Well over the weekend, i took a trip into the pvp zones with me corruptor, and one on one he done pretty well. Groups he was pretty shocking as would buff one then someone else would attack, but in duels, it was a sucess. As soon as the buffs are on, with hasten in use, cosmic brust and sniper were all that was really required with the odd xray beam. Managed to take down blasters with ease and also a scrapper to my surprise. A big part i realise is due to the rad secondry, but im happy with the attacks for now as well.

Iv only rolled out two stalkers and from personal play, claws/regen does a good job at the scrapping. Regen has 3 heals as u know which when used correctly can turn u in to a real fighting machine with no need to be runnin away to get back in to hide. Claws, handy for the fast recharges and not to heavy on the end, damage does lack a bit companred to energy, but all powers got pros and cons. Critical hit off eviscerate gives double damage, although doesnt happen to often, still useful when it does.

You think? I know its not the biggest damage pool going, but id still say the damage is pretty good for pvp. Im playin rad/rad so with the buffs going, one on one with a hero iv rarely been defeated. It may be that the rad secondry is the main reason as they cant really hit me, but you still gotta kill them, and with sniper, cosmic burst and constant xray beam, the odd irradicate and neutron bomb, most heroes go down fairly quick (last two powers mentioned iv got slotted more for buffs at the min).

Cant really comment on the sonic side, which is probably more wat ur looking for, but i can tell u that the rad attacks are pretty good when u get them slotted with so's. Neutrino bolt is a waste imo however id disagree with the sniper attack. Its a very useful power to start your attacks of with, with reasonably high damage, and i also use it repeatedly after cosmic burst (disorient) in pvp and one on one with bosses in pve. Irradicate is pve pullin magnet, but slotted with def buffs i find very useful, although has been the cause of several deaths. Go with what u like, u can always respec them out at a later date in any case.

Got a spare respec for my lvl 40 brute, and pvp is the way im goin now. Is there any specific powers apart from the usual (fitness, travel, hasten etc) that would be advised for this build of brute? Not got coh builder so cant really post the build, but iv got all the main secondry powers apart from resist elements and all the main powers apart from hand clap, jab and taunt. Jabs the only power im think i need for the disorient, is punch really required? or could i get away without both resist elements and energies? and if not, which one u think is more suited for pvp. Cheers and apologies for the short unclear post

6 slots sounds manageable and maybe remove aim and stick two slots off accurcay in emp. Its just this extra power im not sure about, might take mutation (although im usually selfish :P) or possibly the lvl 35 power as i do team with sg a bit, and theres bound to be a death or two somewhere along the lines. Cheers guys for the help.

Cheers for the response . Is it worth 6 slotting ri with 3 of each? And is aim really worth having, its just i couldnt see another one ie choking cloud, mutation being really required, although the acc and damage increase swayed me at the time.
Slotting dont pay any attention to the lvl, just the actual slotting itself ....cheers

Got this toon to 30 now and have a free respec i plan on using very shortly. Im looking to have this toon usable in both pve and pvp although a team will most likely be required in both cases. Up til lvl 30 im happy with the powers, except tactics which im undecided on, but any thoughts on the slotting and the powers choices after 30 would be welcomed the power choices dont nessesarily reflect when i selected them in game.

Thanks in advance.

Been in warburg past few days with my brute, and although won at 2nd attempt, iv never seen a build frustrate me so much. My brute is ss/invul and i struggled so much againt the mm with the pff on. The mm was a bit full of it, and so much so, guranteed i wouldnt win with any at. We now have a little duel set up for this weekend, and im hoping someone may have a recommended build that will certainly put up a good fight Iv got a regen/claws stalker as well which i dont think would have much chance due to the leadership pool running. Wat would be the best build for taking down the mm? not gonna run another at off as i have confidence in my brute, but would be interested to know
Cheers

Hi m8 yer we always on the look out for some new faces. the groups pretty active, finally made it in the top 10 sg's so no longer prestige hungry, just there for for the fun. Ill keep a look out for u, but if u see Night Slash or Gartana, drop us a tell, or any other member from ANBU and we will welcome you in

Iv tried both reilsiance and mog now, and find neither to make any real difference. I do alot of pvp and pve, and rarely ever die except from some crazy mistake or turning mog on :P. When the free respec comes with i7, im gonna get rid of mog and prob take another attack as with all the heals, seems to work perfect for me with neither.
