Got mine on Saturday. Good luck though!
If anyone has the "PWNZ" mission, then I would be very grateful if they would let me join

And would happily do another one with you bucky! That is another good thing about TFs, you tend to become good mates with people you do them with - you are bonded by your hardocre marathon!

thanks all
I certainly am wearing my new title with pride!

Wow, what a marathon! 5 hours later and Sister Psyche is happy...
Thanks to all who helped me out, you made it great fun, and were a fantastic team to play with - when we finished, there were 5 of us left - we finished the last 4 missions or so with no tankers! Just a blaster, a scrapper, 2 trollers and a defender! Very well done all, and thank you!

I levelled twice as well, they give great exp!

Sorry, going to see James bond tonight, would have loved to join up though. I might be on later tonight though (like 9:30 PM UK time)

Energy is a niice secondary, offering some decent melee attacks...

My main is an elec/elce blaster and I really enjoy using him. The end drain from some of the powers can be quite significant, "Short Circuit" when slotted with end mods can drain a minion's end almost completely in one hit, but ti works best in the middle of a battle - run in, and use SC. If you time it right you can take advantage of the fact that enemies will be running low on end anyway, and the SC will cripple them even further, preventing them from using their best powers.

Elec sec has some awesome melee moves, and is probably the best overall secondary set if you want to create a melee focused, blapper type build - Thunder Strike, Shocking Grasp and Power sink are all very very useful...

Nice, hope to see you there LA. Enjoy ishbourne, it is great! The Troller would probably be useful LA....

Hey all
I have time on saturday evening to do my first EVER task force. My character, Chain Lightning is level 23, and so too high for Synapse and Positron (to get any form of decent exp) and so Sister Psyche is the next on the list.

Therefore I would like to get a team together, who can help me get my first TF badge! I will be starting at about 19:30 GMT on Satueday 18th of November. Annyone who wants to join, bring your level 20 - 25 heroes for some fun and some good EXP.....

Thanks! will keep LF then!

I am only level 22, so cannot participate, I will be with you in spirit though
Good Luck! I will simnply plug away at my levels, and dream of the time when i can join you!

Thanks. I have to say that I do have a nice combo set up, with Ball Lightning, Short Circuit and Lightning field. I use Build up, then turn on Lightning field, then throw ball lightning, and then jump into the middle of a group and use SC. As I have all three of those powers at least 3 SO slotted for end reduction (SC is 6 slotted) I can suck the vast majority of end of of most mobs at my level.... It does work very nicely, but then i have to get out of dodge fast, because i wil have just aggroed LOTS of enemies! :-)

oh right, damn
oh well
i will wait a bit longer then before using mine

Thanks for the heads up

After 6 months, I am returning to City of Heroes and my level 22 blaster Chain Lightning. I have about 3 free respecs and in the near future am planning on using one of them.

I currently have the power lightning field, but am considering swapping it for Aid Self as part of my respec. I want a heal power, and personally dont feel Lightning Field to be very useful, as it simply draws aggro and sucks my end dry
Is this a good idea? Is Lightning Field much more useful than I am giving it credit for?

I would like some advice.....
Thanks!

I am only level 22, and have only 1 main character, so you guys are probably thinking what does he know?" but he does happen to be an elec/elec blaster. I Use Fly as my travel power and really like it. I have slotted Fly heavily with SO speed enhancers, so it is now 110% faster than it was when unslotted. This gets me across a zone fairly fast, and is perfectly acceptable for normal travel.

I use HOVER alot when in missions with other people etc. I like being able to be out of melee range, and shoot people. I use Hover for this due to it giving me a def bonus, and not having the acc penalty that Fly does. I have 3 SO slotted HOVER to give me more manouvreability and so i can quickly get out of trouble if necessary. The rest of the slots in Hover i have filled with def bonus increases, meaning that I am much harder to hit while hovering.

Fly just looks so cool, and i like how safe it is. You can fly through a zone which is much too high for you to cross normally and be perfectly safe in the air! It is like a Rolls Royce, slow, but safe and comfortable!

One of my favourite tricks with it is to use hover and get a decent way away from my target, then pull off my trusty AIM, BUILDUP, ZAPP combo, which tends to knock a target for six...
