Quote:I'm glad to see you are not just throwing out another crappy looking electric AT. You take all the time you want with this set as long as it looks like a shiny new penny.Originally Posted by Castle
Sunstorm worked on Electric Control as a training exercise when he first started working for us. The set is currently sitting in the spreadsheet I have set aside for such things. It was a good effort, but by no means ready for release, and there hasn't been any announcement of us working on the set at all.
I'm not ruling out Electrical Control as a set, but it is only one of several sets that are in the wings waiting for the thumbs up to proceed with.

TBH if I had it my way, I would make nothing but electric toons, but couple things drive me nuts.
1. The visuals on electric are just plain bad.
2. Most of the Electric sets are so far down on damage, not worth lookin at.
3. Electric Melee is ok as far as AoE, but as everyone else said, not enough ST.
4. End drain? Who decided that?
Because my favorite element had been made a laughing stock on here, I've had to stick to what works and what's easy.
Along with other sets, maybe some..... As far as blasters, it maybe easier to list what I will play... Blasters
Archery
Fire blast
Electric Blast
dual pistols
psychic
Wont play-
Ice Man
Battle axe
War mace
Invul
Ice armor
Energy melee
Ice melee
Dark blast
Poison
Widow
Don't like 'em and wont play them. -

Rumor-
A story or statement in general circulation without confirmation or certainty as to facts: a rumor of war. (Found at Dictionary.com)
All I know is if it is true, then I'll be the first one to make one.
Long live Elec/Kin! -
I should state this, I survived a lot easier on my kin/dp defender than on my dp/mm and I think the only reason was cause of the kin and psy sets... XD Blasters sacrifice def and resistance to blast the baddie away to survive the encounter, if you don't got the damage, when your a blaster, then you don't have an easy way to survive. If your a new person to the game and decide to try out dp/ whatever as your first toon and continue to die at low lvls, do you think they well continue to try the set out? You've got to have damage if you want to survive tough encounters, throw in a little tactics, and luck and you got a decent toon. But yes, there are surely 50s by now, end of opinion.

Quote:Gotcha, sry but Umbral got me fired up and I wasn't seeing the whole truth. I understand now... really got to ignore the peeps that don't prove useful and non-flaming posts. But at the same time good point with the peacebringer's nova's powers turning into inherit powers, forgot that.Originally Posted by macskull
What you are saying:
"The Kheld forms unlock extra inherent powers, and both the forms and the new powers can be slotted."
What he is saying:
"You cannot enhance a power to have an effect on your other powers."
The reason you can slot both the form and the extra powers on a Kheld is because they do entirely different things. Yes, you need to have the form activated to access its powers, but that's not what is being asked for here. What the OP is asking for is to be able to enhance Swap Ammo's toggles to improve the secondary effects of the powers used while that toggle is active. That's more akin to being able to slot Bright Nova (the toggle power, not the inherents that come with it) for defense debuff and have that enhancement apply to all the Nova attacks. The system does not and cannot work that way, which is why the OP's suggestion will not happen. -
Quote:Guess I should have done a quote to clear up what I was refering to.Originally Posted by DimMak
Being able to slot ammo types.
want more damage? Slot da fire ammo.
Want more -recharge/slow? slot da chill ammo.
want more -defense? slot da toxic ammo.
Forget aim and animation changes, start here.
/e Flame suit on
Swap ammo get the same treatment as a the nova or dwarf of the epics, in the sense of one power granting slotable powers? Sure.
Oh and side note, toxic does not drop defence, it drops attack. -
Does the words look at the epics ring any bells? They have a power called dark nova bright nova? Can be done.

I well help you instead of burn you since all everyone does on here 98% of the time is pick on people, so give me a few. I think I know what your going for.
Ok, not my build, but I used your power choices and reslotted everything. here it is.

Devices for me too, I like the idea of being hidden in plain sight placing bombs, then making the right moves, spray em with bullets from two pistols into the bombs....

Quote:Black hole is like that too? Darn... Ya don't get me wrong the Single target intang are nice, but a group only has it few uses...Originally Posted by Local_Man
I rather like Sparky on my Dark/Elec and Kin/Elec Defenders. Sparky can do bits of damage while I'm busy doing other things.
Actually, Gravitational Distortion and Gravitational Distortion Field, the single target and AoE holds, have -knockback.
The lack of knockback in the Immob is actually quite nice for a Grav/Storm using Freezing Rain.
But I agree, Dimension Shift (and Black Hole) are horrible. I tried Black Hold on my Thugs/Dark just because I had never tried it before. After the second use, I was determined to respec out. However, I teamed with a Sonic Defender just yesterday who did a nice job of using Sonic Cage to take out tough bosses while the rest of us clobbered the rest of the foes. When the cage finally ran out, we were able to gank the boss. I think that is the first effective use of an Intangibility power I have seen -- but we were all on voice chat so he could tell us when he was using it. Plus, it had this easy-to-see blue cage, so it was easy to tell when the foe was impossible to hit.
look a that, didn't even know about black hole it's so bad... XD -
Welcome to the largest compendium of people gathering in one place to share and laugh at opinions on a game called City of Heroes as well as the most information on the subject stored on someone else computer. It's also known as the forums.
-
Well put together forum of info, this should get stickied for usefulness in the future.
-
Ok, I'll humor you and give you my top 5 most retarded and created powers up until now.
At number 5..... Voltaic Sentinel
As a blaster the last thing you want is something or someone following you around, more so if you fancy yourself a strike and flee kind of player... If I ever get a electric toon that high, no VS for me. I wont take gun drone either, my dev blaster likes to stay hidden and blow S*** up under the cover of his cloak.
At number 4..... Whirlwind
I'm the kind of guy that loves a good mess around, but this provides no usefulness and purely for kicks.
At number 3..... Blaster's Chillin Embrace
Are you kiddin me? A stupid slow aura on a blaster, and it's not like it causes a slow fear effect either.... This should have been ice sword circle.
At number 2..... The whole darn Presence Pool
The acc is so low it's not funny, and the only use for this on anything other than a tank or scrapper, would be on like a blaster in PvP.... For the minus to range...
And my all time number 1 is..... Dimension shift!
This one power ruins the set, and drive me away from playing it, playing a power set that I wont take a power before I get and try it, just cause I KNOW it isn't useful or productive... Come on.... That's like jumping into a snake pit naked with mice taped to you. Not to mention no power in the set provides kb pro for the baddies... FAIL. -
Hey there, mr. stone, thanks for the update date bro and all the hard work you guys do for the less fortunate.

I'tll be out when it's out... Hey stoney, how's it going...? XD
-
Well Arcana and couple of the other elites wont be posting for a while.

Source Fleeting?

Yes I do too am going to quit if GR isn't the next best thing since buttered toast. I'm just going to throw away time and money I've invested into this game for 2 years now, and fine something "Better" (Subjective) to put my time and money into, and start completely over on something new.
(Warning Sarcasm may exist!) -
Got mine, and will be lovin' it soon.
