Crawls on Dungeon Floor

Lmao, Jade. I like the sound of the female costumes (my villain has that exact costume minus the ears ), but sounds like the males are gettin ready for the gay pride parade

Well I'd rather not take the shield, as I have enough endurance issues as it is, without having that sucking it away. I didnt want fireball because I dont plan to use my attacks much. Fireball would draw too much aggro for my taste. And I wont take hasten/speed idea because I can NOT stand super speed. I'll considor dropping a power for hasten, but I've played this game for years, and I've never chosen hasten without respeccing out. I really dont like it much at all, I think its overrated, but I will considor it, having little experience with trollers. And what you people all seem to be missing is that in my experience, to use a wakie during combat effectively, you need a break and a blue, probobly a respite or two if there's no healer. The rez and self rez are much more covienient, and if I'm in a zone with no hospital, the load times going to the hospital, then zoning at least once, and loading the mish again are crippling (Im a disturbingly slow loader). We all have our own styles of play, and mine includes taking a rez, self or otherwise, whenever possible. Done it for years, no regrets. You get it? I'm not dropping either rez And for the record, I'm passing stone mastery because it has the melee. If I chose it, I would end up at dangerous range (I dont like melee fighting with squisheys, I just end up doing it out of habit). If I have fire mastery's ranged offense, I'll be less tempted to get in close. And as I mentioned, both APP sets sound great, but fire suits her better

I’ll be referring to just about everything you all said, so I won’t bother with quoting.

As far as the concern about burning a respec on Salt Crystals, I don’t have much of an issue with respecs. I have a few from my veteran rewards (51 months), and I always do the respec trials whether I need one or not.

And about slotting the Achilles’ Heel Enhancement, I never bother with IO sets and bonuses. They are FAR too expensive for me, and in my opinion, make a boring Uber Character if too many are used.

Thanks guys, I didn’t really look at quicksand too closely, didn’t realize it had the debuff to more than speed. I still plan to take the rez, however, due to it's power as an AoE damage attack and the untouchable bonus. That, and I like the idea of being able to self rez with fire mastery and rez the tank or other buffer who has a rez if S**t hits the fan and the entire team goes down. So now I think I’m taking Fire Mastery (not completely for effects, I love the sound of both sets, but fire suits the toon better) and I'm getting the self-rez and Consume (All of my toons have above average endurance issues for some reason, so consume would help a great deal). I'm not sure about the heat exhaustion (It's a long time away, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it), but I'm definitely taking Melt Armor.

Lastly, Local_Man, I had planned to skip stone prison and respec out of salt crystals (though I don’t regret choosing it so far, it’s been moderately useful at these really low levels, but I know it’s quite useless at higher levels). And as for your comment on APPs, I’m choosing fire for sure, because if I have the melee power of stone, I WILL overuse it (as I’ve mentioned, I’ve played scrappers and melee based blasters for years, I’m stuck in that play style) and I WILL get killed. I’m also aware that Psi, Ice, and Primal have great powers, but they don’t come close to suiting this character.

Thanks for the advice, all of you.

So, I made a new Troller on Pinnacle name Molten Moira. She is Stone Control/Thermal Radiation, and a real lowbie (only 10 at the time Im writing this). I've played Scrappers, Blasters, and Defenders for years, but Im relatively new to playing controllers, and was wondering if anyone had any specific advice for a troller with this power set (any advice on powers, general gameplay, etc). So far my plan is to get all Stone powers besides Quicksand and Stone Prison (I chose Salt Crystals. I know AoE sleep isnt great, but I wanted it for some crowd control at a low lvl, and I'm respeccing out when I have stalagmites and earthquake), and get all thermal powers except melt armor, as stone control does decent defence Debuff unless I'm mistaken, and heat exhaustion. I'm unfamiliar with controller epic pools, so if someone could list all the stone and fire mastery powers for trollers, I'd apprectiate that as well. If you see any flaws in that plan, or have any advice whatsoever, please reply. Thanks!

Update: we now have all 22 Tp beacons

Hello! If you have any good or active toons on Pinnacle blueside, who want a new SG (or dont have one to begin with), send a Tell to @szpek, or an email to CODF. I lead an SG named the Warlock's Luck. We dont have a whole lot of active members (but Im posting this to help with that issue), but thats the only downside. The leader (me) is an active and experienced 51 month veteran. My co-leaders are only 6-month vets, but I've taught them just about everything I know. We are quite leniant with rules, and you REALLY have to get me mad to get kicked or demoted. The base is great, in my opinion. It has a med bay with an inspire collector, a power core (doubles as a lounge area), control hall with an O-Crystal, Teleport to all but 6 zones, and a great workshop that any member can access, regardless of rank. The base is done in the Arcane style, and has large amounts of decoration in each room (not enough to cause lag issues, so worry not). All this fits on the 12x12 plot, so its a very simple, easy to navigate layout. We expand constantly, and I mean constantly. 90% of the time I spend on CoH is spent playing CODF, a lvl 50 scrapper who does portal missions, story arcs, Trials, and TFs for insane prestige. We are looking for a combination of New Blood and veteran players. So, if this sounds like it may interest you, e-mail CODF, or send tell to @szpek. I'll get you an invite as soon as I can. Thanks, if anyone actually took the time to read this
