Quote:Thanks for the knock to reality, Fury. I have a 50 fire/kin that I had been farming with and am working on his build. It has close to 500-600mil needed though to finish fleshing it out however. The reason I was going for an ae dps archetype was due the extreme availability of f/k trollers. I'm really good at doing what a /kin SHOULD do but the amount of bad tanks out there make it impossible to contribute to the fullest effect (what I feel I should at least -on marginal teams they likely don't realize much less care as long as sb and fs stay up.)Originally Posted by Fury Flechette
solid info.
I guess I was just looking for a change of pace. The best idea I spose is to wait til I16 releases which would seem soon since it's gone to 'open beta' on the test server? -

There is no knockback in Full-Auto, Flamethrower or Psychic Scream. Skip M30, which doesn't mesh well with all the cone attacks anyway, and Buckshot, and you will have no knockback issues.

Quote:So i tried out assault and I think that's way more knockback even in just the first few levels than i would be comfortable using in ae ticket farming. Gonna try a few other things out I sposeOriginally Posted by Caniption
Thanks for the info. I'm going to try out assault/mental.

What level will you be doing this at? (I'm not real familiar with how AE ticket farms are set up). If it's post-leve 32, I'd say Archery. Archery isn't really an AoE standout at low levels, but Rain of Arrows makes it one.
Oh, another question: When you say "targeted AoE", does that mean you don't want cones or PBAoE? Or you're just looking for AoE generally.
Anyway, if you want early-level AoE, Fire is always good, and Assault Rifle is pretty strong as well. AR is pretty much all cones, in case that does matter, and is a little less team-friendly with knockback. Fire is just all damage. Make sure your team includes someone who can take the aggro off you or otherwise keep you alive, or be careful.
The fire secondary would add a bunch of PBAoE. Mental gives another cone, and later on another PBAoE power.
Hope that helped?
this would be a build I need to level to 50 on to get the most efficient ticket farm results.
Thanks for the info
edit:
I prefer ranged aoe as pbaoe lends me to having the risk of being in trouble and not seeing it until it's too late or if using cones, I have to be precise with the shot. These teams are usually pretty quick and the mobs tend to drop at a reasonable rate but I need to be able to look out for myself if the tank(s) for whatever reason don't keep full control. We generally have 2 tanks and 1 grabs a group from one side and the other grabs a group as well.. so there's usually about 20 mobs stacked on top of each other. -
As the subject asks, what is the preferred AoE powerset? The goal of this build is to assist in AE ticket farming so I can have some better chances at reward rolls and make a bit of cash to fund some other builds.
When time frees up, I'd like to build a tanker to do stf's, but most of them take a few hours to do and I just don't have the time to dedicate to that since most people want to do it all in one 3-4 hour period instead of 1-2 parts each night (which is the only way I could complete such an event since I have young children)
So anyways, Looking for assistance with a blaster type build to lay in heavy targeted AoE damage in AE ticket farming teams. Thanks for any help. I have never played a blaster past level 5 sine I started the game (years ago). I've always been a controller fan, starting with a mind/kin at release. -
gogamer.com is having a huge sale on 60 day cards. They are currently being sold at 18.97 I believe.
