And OMG, once upon a time EA had even less Energy and S/L Defense? Wow, it must've been like suicide taking that set back then.

Mind-boggling.

I may as well ask for da numberz for it...anyone's seen it on test yet?

Most guides fall into obscurity after a week or so. The flame fest keeps this guide on page 1, though.

The irony.

Animation Description: You scrunch up, in a very comical position similar to the explusion of commonly-solid waste in humans. You then shove your shadow-shrouded fists towards your foe in a thoroughly non-comical manner, while conjuring an eerie skull with glowing red eyes, which is subsequently shoved into your foe; your foe then emits a gaseous aura which rises upwards. The observant amongst you might notice that this "gas" seems to form a subtle and ghostly skull around the foe. It is quite possibly one of the best animations in the game, and makes up for the fact that it takes a whopping three seconds to fire, two-thirds of which is interruptible.

This itself makes me want to make DM/Nin

All hail Mr. Skullhead. Pretty much the reason I keep coming back to Stalkers.

That and ToF.

Wow, only 50 Endurance! Thanks for the info.

Little Typo: Resist Elements resists Fire/Cold AND Toxic.

But that was a fantasic tactics section. My DM/Invul and Inv/Fire agree.

What about SoW's crash? Otherwise this is everything I need.

For a permadom build (I think I finally found one I won't cry over) I will keep Psychic Scream for its targetted AoE so I can slot Positron's Blast into it (7.5 recharge at 5 slots.)

Thanks, now I can see the Willpower numbers in one convenient spot. Thanks a lot!

Hero = AV-class, yes.

Psuedo-Pets copy the buffs the caster had before they activate. So it should get the buff.

I don't have an Arch/Dev though.

Fixed.

GRATZ!

Damn, now I want Taco Bell.

No cat meat though, I pwned Mynx too many times already. Waterspout = lol Elude

Wow.

my Ice/Psi Dom, finally hit level 50. 2 days after getting my Blackwand temp power.

The killing blow? Synapse at the end of Tarvish Bell's story arc.

Straight from _Castle_ in the Defiance testing thread:

Buff: 0.66* (0.1 * CastTime) / AreaModifier
Duration: 7.5 + CastTime
CastTime is the cast time of the power
AreaModifier = 1 + (0.15 * radius) - (0.011 * radius/6) * (360 - arc)/5

In a recent Blaster Thread someone sat down and did the math. I'm copying his Archery results. The value for Ranged Shot is probably wrong though, because with Ranged -> Blazing, Blazing hits HARD. Way harder than 10%. I think.

Yeah, the Snipe is a huge bonus. Around 31% if I remember right. I'll dig a little for it.

My Arch/Eng continues building a shrine to Ranged -&gt; Blazing Arrow. With Build Up that 1-2 punch dropped Lts. VERY useful when sweeping Dark Astoria. And the Defiance boost made Ranged even sweeter.

My Kin/Arch is having a blast simply jousting around the place. Performing a Siphon-Sped + Inertial Reduced jump and queuing Blazing Arrow is just great. I won't get much use out the snipe, although I'm not surprised.

Many thanks for this guide.

My first TA toon a long time ago was a TA/Elec. The plan was to make da ultimate sapper with Short Circuit + EMP Arrow yelling NO BLUE FOR YOU! And the 3 Holds (Tesla Cage, Ice Arrow + EMP) would make me Controllerish enough. My problem was /Elec's low damage.

I rerolled him into a TA/Sonic. Acid + 3 Sonic Blasts let me drop minions, and I can stack Ice Arrows pretty easily. I just hit level 26 and got OSA, w00t! Howl is great for igniting the patch and slapping my foes.

I also have an Ill/TA Controller at 28. Peanut Butter and Jelly, it's the perfect pair. Glue Arrow nicely replaces an AoE immob, and Ice Arrow lets me hold bosses quickly. And my Phantom Army loves Acid + Disrupt Arrow. Since Illusion's pets have ranged attacks OSA shouldn't be much of a problem.

There's also my Bots/TA Mastermind at 9. Um, I think I have an addiction with Trick Arrow...

But but but but...that would mean MoG would get a...buff then. The best CoX meme would be over.

I'm not sure that's something you're supposed to take as a compliment.

When it comes to forum PvP, any reply is a compliment.

...well that was fun.

Whoa, actual replies. Nice.

I am planning an I11 guide, I swear for realz, yo! And I'll have IO craziness and PvP suggestions and Patron Pools (hint: Scirocco or Mako.)

Mini updates:
1) Psi Dart has a reduced endurance cost now.
2) Jack Frost charges into melee now. He's more likely to die vs AVs, but otherwise he will soak aggro and kill things quick, 2 points I loooove.

Finally! Thank you for the merge. It will really give CoHers a chance to look at redside, and CoVers a chance to look at bluuuuey.

Nice guide man.

I've been thinking about a Grav/Thorn for a while. This will help me a lot.

I'm with a Dom-heavy VG. We just permahold the vines and get it over with.

I have also done this with my Brute at the lead, backing up several Doms. I take the alpha, they hold. Fun fun fun!

Vanguard seem to chew up all melee ATs with stacking -def and -res attacks. MoG probably gives you such a high amount of both that the debuffs aren't making a dent.
