Quote:Loads of useful info, cheers. I've actually skipped Absorb Pain and Resurrect at the mo. Buffing is far more entertaining and I reckon if I'm doing things right I shouldn't need em anyway. So far it's proving correctOriginally Posted by Kioshi
Fly Trap - I'd slot some Expedient Reinforcements to maximize acc/dmg because it gives you 6.25% recharge bonus (recharge is the best bonus for emps) plus an AH -res proc. Most of her attacks will use the proc since they do -def and are derived from the thorny assault set.
Power Boost greatly enhances the defense and tohit of Fortitude, which I have slotted with 3 membranes and a Lotg just for the rech bonus (the dmg buff in Fort stays at 25% with PB tho). It also affects your heals. I don't think it affects your auras or AB, but they're such strong buffs that it's really not needed (you can counter the nuke drain from a blaster if you slot one endmod in AB this way raising your recov buff to over 1000%).
BTW, if someone still has end problems with the 200% base recovery from Rec. Aura they have serious issues, since most people do fine with one Speed Boost (71% recovery on controllers, slotted with one endmod). AB is hideously strong already too, base 500% regen and 800% recovery, besides the 100% recharge bonus.
All troller pools are very good. I personally went with Psy on my mind/emp because I hate getting mezzed and I.Will is up most of the time with my recharge. Plus, you get a decent AoE which would do nice damage since you have an AoE immob to set up containment. I like Fire too because Plant would benefit from Fire Blast since it lacks a single attack chain like mind has, and Fireball is great with your immob too.
Stone gives you a high damaging mag 4 (bosses) hold in S. Smash plus the ability to cap your hit points without accolades, and can be perma if you have high global recharge which you'll want on an Empath anyway.
Ice I don't find that good for an emp, you won't need hibernate, ice storm takes long to recharge, frost breath is a cone...
As for the epic armors, your choice on defensive (Stone, Ice) or resist (others). I have the psi resist armor but I basically never die so idk how much that affects my mind/emp. Since you have a pet and Carrion Creepers you should be safer than even a mind controller, or at least as much.
Personally I've done MoSTF runs as the solo empath and never, ever felt the need to have regeneration aura or absorb pain because heal other recharges so quickly and half the team will be fort'ed and one will be AB'ed. Absorb Pain actually got me killed when I had it, a few times, because of the 'no heal' period. A.Pain is great fun tho, you can kill yourself in Atlas Park beneath the statue (the Freedom server hangout) by healing someone and a lot of newbies will come, see you dead in a 'safe zone' and ask 'OMG what happened?'
I am tempted towards Psi or Stone alright, the Forced Feedback is lovely in the AOE. Either would fit rather neatly with either of my powersets. I've got Stone on a Fire/Rad and it's great. I'm not as melee orientated as them though. Never tried Psi but it looks like the best for me.
What's the World of Confusion + Seeds combo like does anyone know? The radius looks a bit pants. -
Quote:I love Soul Extraction. Mine is slotted so I can have two of them out for a bit. Their melee grasp-hold attack is brilliant.Originally Posted by Valentyna
Another in my line of annoying questions: is soul extraction any good? I really cant sem to find what powers the ghost has either. I cant even se to find ow long it lasts in Mid's.
The Spirits attacks are listed on the Red Tomax site on the Titan Network. The other pets give higher tier ghosties who have more HP and do a bit more damage. -
I took the red wisp one on my Grav/TA just so, along with the Magical Juggle emote, I could pretend I had a whole family of Singularities.*

I've been getting a lot of these types of things from "Blizzard" lately, claiming that my (inactive) WoW account is being sold and thus is against the TOS. Funny thing is that the email they're sending them to is NOT the one that's linked to my WoW account. Also, the spelling and grammar are even more horrid than the OP's here was. Then there's the fact that Blizzard doesn't warn you. They just ban you.
Not that I have any plans to play WoW again, but I wouldn't click one of those links even if it did look legit. At least not without investigating it first.
Yep, I've been getting these too, to my work address which has obviously never had any Blizzard account associated with it. -
It's a forum. If you don't think you need it then don't join. If you do for whatever reason then go for it.
Since I do 95% of my posting during work hours it's deffo not for me...
Plus I've enough distraction with this forum alone.

Hmm, any guesses where Fury comes from?
I still don't understand how we managed to beat Ireland yet only draw with England and LOSE to italy!
Oh well, at least we didnt end up with the wooden spoon, I don't think we would have deserved that.
Schooling the Welsh in Croker and getting revenge for 2008 was probably the highlight of this year for me (sorry Damz). -

Oh absolutely. Well deserved and overdue (by a week or so ).
* Still a wrench though given that it was our last match in Croke Park (you've no idea what an immensely big deal it was over here for us that the GAA to open Croke Park to the Rugby and Football for the last 3 years given it's long standing stance against foreign sports). -
Quote:Just to nitpick I've found they can take the Alpha and then lock down the spawn pretty well but it's not really Tanking, especially in the case of Illusion where it tends to get rather chaotic. Spooky is great at soft-controlling the spawn but aggro will tend to bleed away from the Controller or their pets a bit as enemies are attacked.Originally Posted by Willowpaw
Another fun fact: Plant Dominators and Controllers can also tank quite well once they have their Creeper Vines and Fly Traps (or even just the Creeper Vines). Come to think of it, Illusion Controllers can also tank with Phantom Army, Phantasm, and Spooky.
It is hilariously fun in both cases though, as evidenced by the PuG I was on yesterday which had 4 controllers including my Plant and an Illusion. A new Blaster joined the team, we entered the mish and they said "Shouldn't we wait for the AFK Tank" and was good humouredly mocked.* -
Yay. I r a healor!
So my Plant/Emp PuG specialist is now level 32 on Virtue. Having a ball with them at the moment and now I'm starting to look towards end-game slotting and powers so I've a wee few questions...
Slotting Fly Trap. I notice a couple of its powers do -Def and that it will take -Def Sets, so is it worth allowing for an Achilles Heel -Resist PROC in it? In general how would you slot Fly Trap (bearing in mind I'm Emp so I should have no real issues keeping it alive so the Resist / Defense auras probably aren't worth the expense. Also I don't do Purples).
What epic should I go for. I'm looking at the Power Boost > Fortitude combo for the defense bonus, which should also work nicely with my AOE controls, but does PB affect any of the other Empathy buffs, especially AB or the Auras?
What alternative Epic Pools would you go for and why? -

The power of Delia? She is having a bit of a revival at the mo (or was just before Xmas anyway).
I'll wager 500 Quatloos on the wig-and-corset wearing space captain from the stars to win your Earth Tournament Damz.

After spending the last 2 weeks trying to figure out why my US account details won't let me register / log onto the boards (or ANY US Account details, even a brand new US Trial won't work) and being met with a Wall of Silence in terms of any sort of NCSoft Customer Support (other than a message 4 days ago saying I was being escalated) it's easy to see why so many of us still feel like second class citizens over here.*
