Chelsea

Your build is simlur to my ice/kin currently at 32
BiB is one of those powers thats short range and even a range enh won't help much.
One thing you will find out is that ice seems to have bad Acc which is its penalty for having good damage so i would recommend 2 acc in attacks as that 4th dmg enh isn't doing a whole lot.[Edit: DoH i just noticed the big bold bit at the bottom .. please excuse me i'll get my coat]
Freeze Ray you'll find you use alot and recharges just fine with hasten/SS and will stack very nicely if slotted with 3 hold enhs.
My advice is drop Repel and BFR and take Tactics .. you'll thank me later

after reading somewhere on the US boards that slotting Def_Debuf was more useful than Def_Buf.

Thats funny i'm sure read the total opposite and that the def buff from the enforcers maneuvers was awesome.
1 acc 3 dmg 2 def buff for me.

What we are looking for in players
----------------------------------
MM is looking for mature dedicated players who enjoy teaming with friends and do not take the game to seriously.

Anyone wishing to join can contact me ingame at @Chels or via PM on these forums or by grabbing the nearist MM minion .. err.. i mean member ingame and asking.

Happy Gaming

its not what you can skip its what you can put off till later and placate is a power you DO NOT want to put off till later.

Yeah but Valk hes not even got RI, hes even got it setup like its a clicky or something at lvl 30 or whatever.
Some idiots given him bad advice and now hes paying for it coz his builds gimped and hes not listening to ppl giving him advice.
GL is all i can say.

Ah ok
I knew about the -stealth but was sure it gave yourself and your team stealth.
Guess not

I have a quick question for Idris
Would i be correct in assuming Arctic Air has a stealth element ?
I'm sure i read someplace that it does but it dosn't say so ingame on the power description.

I agree with the last poster and will be doing that same as its like talking to a brick wall.

Radiation Infection
-------------------
Infects a targeted foe with deadly radiation.All foes the target comes into contact with will also become infected.The Radiation Infection will last as long as the Hero can keep the power toggled on or when the original infected targeted dies.Infected foes have severely reduced accuracy and defence.
De-buff: -Def - Acc 22.50% unslotted
Toggle | Targeted | AoE (20ft) Cost 0.29 Act 3.1 Rchg 8.00 Rng 70

so its placcate at 28 then.....but i can probly fitt in smokeflash at 30.

[/ QUOTE ]

You'd be stupid to take placate that late.
Sorry but i'm just being honest.

[ QUOTE ]

EF is the first thing I drop always, its -Res & -Dam. There was a post on the US forums where he gave reasoning why u take less damage from an alpha strike if u use it.


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes But RI is an ACC debuff meaning you won't get hit at all and is a bigger Radius that EF.
Drop RI means you take NO dmg and uses less end ,EF means your still taking dmg but less of it and is a small radius and you have to heal and its a huge end drain.
Personaly i know what debuff i'm using out of the 2!

Plus when smokeflash wears off they just come after you again anyway so defeats the whole purpose.

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't that a bit like placate? When I placate if I am still in the immediate vicinity of that enemy when they come out of it then they attack me again, even if they don't have line of sight to me. However it seems that if I placate and leg it far away they don't follow.

Interested because I was planning to get smokeflash on my nin/nin .

[/ QUOTE ]

well .. lets say for example your at the top of the mission map and you use smokeflash on a group of npc's
Then you run allllllllllllllll the way to the bottom of the mission map to the entrance.
Now with placate you wouldn't expect those npc's to show up now would you, but with smokeflash they would be jogging around the corner looking for the stalker who threw powder in there eyes 5 mins ago.
Thats the difference between smoke and placate.
Plus theres no hide with smoke, its just a placate.

its one of those powers you pickup thinking 'oh that will be a great OH !!!!!!! power' and end up not using it.
Only thing i found a use for it is when you log off you can hit it 1 second before you log off and vanish in a puff of smoke .
Plus when smokeflash wears off they just come after you again anyway so defeats the whole purpose.

you don't need Recharge in Radiation Infection its a toggle and an Acc debuff so 1 end redux 3 Acc debuffs 2 Def debuffs.
And 30 is WAY to late as its one of your main debuffs that you would use alot more that EF.
Don't need slows in Lingering Rad either it nearly caps out so swap the slows for recharge.

I've no idea about sonic but it seems your really lacking on the damage side.

Grounded still dosn't work on slopes or uneven ground which is why Acro is better in PVP as stated before.
Its also scaling KB protection.(scales with level)

Enervating Field is your biggest end draining toggle at 0.572 EPS so you will probably need atleast 2 end reduxs possibly 3.
Radiation Infections is quite light end wise and most ppl slot with only 1 end reduxs.
Radiant Aura costs 13.00 end and i only have 1 in mine but thats to taste.

With AM and stamina you souldn't really be running out of end but by the sounds of it your using EF -dmg -Res instead of RI which is -Acc -def as your main debuff .
Then you won't need to heal as much.

Probably hopeless in PvP

Not at all i've enjoyed many aerial dog fights with AR/Dev blasters..Ar/Traps corrs can certainly hold there own V AR/Dev's and it does stop any blaster from using defiance

[ QUOTE ]
Yup. Main uses:
Combat jumping = vertical jump height,immob resistance and air control
Hurdle = Horizontal jump length and no air control without CJ or SJ.

see hammerfall knows .. i like hammerfall hes a smart man

another intresting titbit from the same source as above.

I did a little testing on Flight and Swift. Hover, Fly, and Group Fly have not changed since my original tests. Other than the effects of ED, the flight speeds are still correct. Swift now adds 2.87 f/s (1.96 mph) to all forms of flight. That includes Hover, Fly, and Group Fly. With 3 even SOs, it's up to 5.58 f/s (3.80 mph). All in all, not terribly impressive.

after abit of search-fu

There are two early Jumping powers, Combat Jumping and Hurdle. Combat Jumping is almost solely a height bonus. Running and jumping with Combat Jumping appears to increase your ground speed by a very small amount, less than 1 f/s even when 6 slotted with SOs. But it does increase your jumping height significantly. Hurdle however increases your ground speed significantly and your height only slightly less than Combat Jumping. In fact Hurdle appears to provide half the jumping bonus that Super Jumping does, though without the height. Hurdle can be used as a travel power! It takes a lot of slots, but it can beat the Fly cap. At level 50, Hurdle with 5 SOs goes about 89 f/s, and you jump about 29 feet high. Add that 6th SO, and you drop down to 80 f/s but increase height to 32 feet. If you Sprint, you only drop down to 83 f/s. Apparently there's a sweet spot due to being right at a specific height or Enhancement value that will let you go about 60 MPH with Hurdle.

Source
Thats before ED so i'm not sure how accurate it is now.

I wonder if fly is still capped at 60mph ..hmmm.

Edit: FYI hurdle boosts jump height..extra slots in hurdle do not, they only give more forward speed.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm quite sure that jump enhancers boost both jump height and speed, but you obviously have some source of information I don't?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah some long winded discussion on these forums about just such a thing.
If its not been deleted that is.
I could be wrong tho and it does add extra height, but i'm just going by the planner and what ppl have said before.

personaly i'd go 2 acc 3 dmg 1 end redux on all attacks as they will recharge quite fast anyway even with granite on and hasten.

[ QUOTE ]

according to hero planner extra enhancers in hurdle only give more forward speed with no extra jump height.

[/ QUOTE ]

According to me bouncing around in-game with various characters, it definately boosts standing jumping height. Before I had it, I couldn't jump onto a 2nd floor balcony in the office buildings, now I can.

Planner must be wrong.

[/ QUOTE ]

Still wasting 4 slots in powers you can only use in a zone and not in a missin .. jumping high .. great.. but when you have a travel power anyway why would you want to waste more slots in travel powers ?
If this was a PVP build i'd be clapping my hands and be shouting to take CJ to but as it is your just wasting slots.

sorry but thats how i feel.

Edit: FYI hurdle boosts jump height..extra slots in hurdle do not, they only give more forward speed.
I bet you 1 million inf if you dropped the 2 slots on hurdle you could still reach the balcony.

extra slots in hurdle do not give extra jump height

[/ QUOTE ]I'm quite sure it does, since hurdle gives both JumpHeight and SpeedJumping, and AFAIK jump enhancers boost both attributes.

[/ QUOTE ]

*ahem* yes
What i ment to say was its equal to 10% dmg resist not that Aidself HAS any dmg resist.

just a quick thought but most of your AoE def comes from 3 slotting hide with debuf's
