I do not think transferring characters to any particular sever is the best way to do things. I do not think that the community should be left to save an element of the game that has limited participation. I do believe that the solution needs to be looked at, and implemented by the dev’s. I think the best solution lies in the fact that PvP Zones across all servers should be merged.

This was my old school plan, I am currently lvl 36. Never really had any problems in PvE, (other than a few missions with Psi damage in). But the down side of a defense base set of shields is that you can hit a run of bad luck and you are down with-in seconds. On the whole it’s all pretty versatile with zero end problems.

Yep - looks like we have a past master of Zen and the Art of Blasting.

I got 4 blasters, nah i'm done.

4 !! - How many scrappers though ?

In a rare moment of enlightenment......................

Blasters are the perfect AT, for playing this game.

Let me explain, once you get into the blasting grove there really is no stopping you. Which contradicts the fact that you are; at any given moment, only seconds away from eating dirt. This is what makes them so much fun, there is a real sense of high risk and higher rewards. Also this is the only AT that I am never bothered about debt, because you can clear it so quickly.

I know many will say that this is quiet a bold statement. Yet strangely enough my blaster sat on a shelf for some time until I realized that there was a Zen to the Art of Blasting. (there is also an underlying selfishness to the Art, after all there are very few powers that directly alter (buff) your fellow team mates). Which makes is such a joy to play.

I am not sure if I have adequately explained this moment of enlightenment, but after many, many hours of playing it is like a breath of fresh air.

Wow – I am picking up the distinct whiff of scrapper lock with rgds to my fellow forum posters. Despite their vast experience, they are wrong . You should either pick :

1/ An Illusion / Rad – Controller, (nice pick 1damz) or…….
B/ A Sonic / Rad – Defender.

Personally I would go with the Illusion/Rad controller – probably the biggest Swiss army knife in the game, you will have the answer to every PvE question. Accept no substitutes.

I don’t think you can get a much more balanced than this team – nice work Nightmarer:

Note - There are spoilers.............

Quantum Flash - lvl 50 - Ill/KIn Controller, signing up !

A Super Strength / Energy Aura brute would work well – I can see the defense of your partner going through the roof. Plus it would work thematically as they both have a tech feel about them.

Behold the power of a Radiation / Sonic defender - give it a whirl, trust me............

Solo it would be like pulling teeth – slow in every department. You would need to team pretty much all of the time to realize your potential, and then I think it would be lacking. There are other sets that I think you would enjoy more. For my money I would push you towards Illusion / Radiation or Illusion / Kinetic, as a starter for 10 I think you would get much more mileage……………Good luck

Illusion / Radiation - Probably the biggest and best swiss army knife around, you will have a tool for every job

Some of my own slotting for Quantum Flash - Fulcrum Shift, Transference and Siphon Speed work well, BUT with most slotting it comes down to what feels right in game for you (ED not-with-standing)

Slot revive with 6 x Recharge, you'll need it

Holy Guacamole-y. This made me laugh almost as much as the proposed build itself.

My first attempt as a hero was as a Stone/Stone tank – it was slow going, soloed most of the time, as my first team attempt was miserable. I remember some-one shouted TANKS first. Ouch - I must have had to run back from the hospital a dozen times in that mission - I deleted him not long after that.

Sometimes being a tank in teams is not fun, with out support at least. Beyond that I think every one should be responsible for there own safety - if you pull too much heat be prepared to take the pain……….

Sadly I fear there may be no cure for what you have. It’s like a switch and you have just been turned off. Happened to me. But there I was in a book store some time later, picked up a grapic novel (INVINCIBLE) and bang I was hooked again, it was like I had just been Tangoed………That may be an answer pick up a stack of comics, after all it is the source. Good luck

I put my first base together last night, which was all going ok(ish), until I tried to put the second beacon in my teleporter, what am I not doing , or what should I have done ??

Yes it is possible – BUT can you imagine the look on your team mates faces when you don’t use your best powers. I’d be disappointed. If you solo however nobody could call you for leeching. If you solo it’s your game – so enjoy

Thanks GG

How often do you pay it ??

Go Illusion/Kinetics, it is a dream of a set. But Illusion/Radiation is king! Theses sets (with pets and powers in mind) mesh together better.

My advice - roll a shiney new alt and run it up and through the Fautline mishions - go on you know you want to................

PS - Nine Claws, when are you going to organise a "big game" hunt in RV for the badges

Correct – I plan to slot each of the pet set with IO’s so I'm not 100% sure of the current slotting arrangement. On the hover front I want to activate it during missions (if the speed is good), but it will be slotted with each of the three Freebird IO’s, for the set bonus and stealth properties. Flying faster is cool and all But it doesn’t help me kick the dude in the nuts for more damage or more accurately for that matter, if you get my meaning.
Yes I agree I would like another slot of Accuracy, but I am assuming that the bonus from Tactics will navigate around this problem ? Finally I want to see what the balance is between Recharge / Endurance before I am comfortable with the slots, at time I find myself waiting from my key powers to recharge.

The joy of playing this set is the pleasure of seeing it evolve - I am also looking forward to the Bruiser/Noxious Gas combo (- eee that's made me chuckle)
