I agree with the stagger solo, together for teams
To get them both working perma you need roughly an additional 78% global recharge bonus from IO's or buffs -

I myself wanted to do this. Being on Virtue, I could easily predict the number of succubus characters with Bat Wings would explode with Issue 17. But I was too lazy to actually do it.
And then I rolled a succubus demon summoner.
And then I paid 2,000,000 on Bat Wings.
I was a sad panda.

I'm normally a very positive person on these forums, but seeing yet another competition I cannot legally enter gets me down.

Heh, I imagine it's lots of people with brand new demon summoners. Cheers on yer ill gotten gains!
Step 1: Horde wings
Step 3: Profit!
PS. I'm out of wings but i made in excess of 300* million profit from about 2 million investment in 12 hours.
*edit, forgot non wings sales* -
Boy do i feel good for stockpiling a few hundred sets of costume wings over the last month. The price has exploded..... i feel so deliciously ebil selling stuff i got for 10k 2 weeks ago for over a million today, per item.

Random drops are random
With purples i got 2 in a week and then none for 3 months, also last week i rolled 3 merit rewards
Freebird + stealth
Freebird + stealth
Freebird + stealth
I imagine the odds of that are pretty slim (not exactly purple drop info, but you get the point) -
If you check my signature theres a link to my guide on Rad/Rad corrupters
Personally I disagree with the previous posters assessement that choking cloud generates too much aggro. Choking cloud is a PBAOE toggle hold that does no intrinsic damage, thye threat it generates is so minimal. If choking cloud is stripping aggro off a team then your team cant be doing any damage.
I built for recharge over defence in order to have Perma AM. -
Quote:I went /ice for 2 reasonsOriginally Posted by Leo_G
Curious about DP/ blasters:
Why do so many go with /MM? I mean, I can sort of understand /devices for a natural/tech feel and /EM because EM goes with anything...but I've seen so many /MMs now and during beta...
Don't think I ever saw /Ice, I saw probably a couple /Elec but not many now and I'm the only /Fire I've seen at all. Is there some kind of synergy or character concept everyone is aiming for that I'm just not aware of?
I hadnt used that secondary before, and i figured that few would go dp/ice. -
Meh, yet another competition i am legally prohibited from entering because of my nationality.
I don't know why i even bother checking the terms and conditions any more -

Austin Grossman? No idea who that is. -
This is the single best thing to happen to me in game.
I made my home on victory and infinity and did not realize they were east coast servers. Due to connection issues play on the east coast servers was so bad i stopped playing for 4 months and let one of my accounts expire (Red towers on netgraph, up to 5 seconds delay from using a power to it animating, rubber banding, yet west coast play was fine)
I didn't want to start again from scratch and i didn't want to plays hundreds of dollars to transfer my toons.
Now i will be able to half my guys on west coast and half on east coast for free. I will now actually play the game again for the first time in months.
Thank you paragon studios and NC Soft, at the very least your gift has got two account renewals from me

Farming is the best way to make influence.

I think i can sum up my point of view by saying this.
A character that uses all the tools at their disposal is more useful to a team than one that relies soley on one aspect of their character.
A corrupter who blasts/heals/buffs/debuffs > A Corrupter that heals
A Mastermind with pets and secondary > a petless mastermind
A tank that fights > a tank that only uses taunt and armours
A Stalker that fights > a stalker that uses AS and then waits for hide
etc etc -
See the guide in my signature for my 2 cents on the wonder of rad/rad

Quote:I think the main point people are making is that only healing is not contributing fully to a team.Originally Posted by _Krom_
It is my time with MY character. I personally don't play this style, but I don't have a problem with it as long as it's contributing to the team (which healing is...standing there picking your nose isn't). I am more then happy to not be a part of YOUR team if you feel the need to police everyone's play-style that doesn't match yours and kick them because you don't approve. That's not why I started playing Coh many years ago and I'm happy to surround myself with people who aren't elitist play-style police like you.
If someone wants to focus on healing\supporting the team while the rest of the team bashes the bad\good guys face in...I'm perfectly happy with that (and I've had MANY successful teaming events where there are people who do just that).
So by all means, pass me up...I'm here to have fun, not power game myself into boredom.
You can heal, buff, debuff, and blast..... all on the same corrupter!
So ask yourself this.
Is a team more effective when the corrupter only spams heals, or when they spam heals and blast during the recharge times?
Or, Is a thermal who uses its shields every 4 minutes and then blasts for 3mins 30 secs less useful than someone spamming heals? -
Quote:Hmm, methinks you don't get the whole healer thing.Originally Posted by jwbullfrog
Ah, an issue close to my heart. See that avatar over there <-- ? that's Doc. She's a rad/rad Corr. She's also a dedicated healer. She is also my first lv 50.
Before Pain Domination came along, there were several options available to Villains as far as team healing was concerned. None of them were as effective as /Empathy.
I decided, in my particular madness, to build a healer using rad/rad. Why? Because I noticed one thing about radiation... both the primary and secondary had strong debuff capability.
So, I set out on a career as a one trick pony using Radiant Aura, Radiation Infection, Enervating Field, Mutation, Accellerate Metabolism, and Lingering Radiation to their best effect. I also took the medicine pool to give me more options for healing, rezzing, and breaking holds (ala "clear mind.") The few attacks I took all were slotted for defense debuff as well as damage.
She survived well on her own until about lv 15 or so. Then she found her niche... AV killer. Someone else had to do most of the actual damage you understand, but she made the job so much easier. I found a few people who appreciated that rather specialized field or medicine and took pity on the poor, insane, corruptor. Before I knew it, she was 50.
I'm not saying this is for everyone. It's a challenge that takes a lot of patience. But it was fun. And thats why we're here isn't it?
A rad/rad healer would spam its healing aura while using the medicine pool and little else. You are not playing as a healer, you are playing as a support person, which few people have objections too.
That being said, im pretty sure people would rather have my rad/rad who debuffs/buffs/heals and blasts rather than yours which debuffs/buffs/heals and rezs.
Also, slotting rad for defence debuffs is pretty damm ineffective. Good teams don't miss much and the -def debuffs are sizeable enough already
Check my guide if you will for how to play a rad/rad that gets stuck in. -

Quote:Considering the mentality of most Kiwis in regards to Australia? I'm not surprised.Originally Posted by Redoubtable
I watched the last Rugby World Cup final in a pub in Auckland, and I have to say that I was slightly surprised to find that the majority of the locals were supporting England over Australia. Pretty sure we'd be happy for NZ to beat the motherland at pretty much anything.
A lot of kiwis are munters with a massive chip on the shoulder in regards to Oz.
I pick based on the team and personality. (Like Im right behind Mark Webber, but dont care for Lewis Hamilton).
But sadly, the knee jerk "Boo Australia" thing is rather rampant here. -
10pm Shut down in OZ must be a pain in the butt for you guys. At least here in NZ its after when i normally go to bed.

I concur that Pacifica (or Pacific Rim for that matter) would sound more appropriate than Oceanic. Oceanic makes me think of a type of climate.
Also, aloha from the "lovely" island of California to all of our Pacific Island players!

As a Kiwi I was deeply torn on who to support for the ashes this year.
But one thing I will say is the standard of cricket played this time was well below most recent Ashes series.
I miss watching Shane Warne methinks. -
Quote:Yep, being on a completely different time cycle should render this forum of low interest to most EU Players.Originally Posted by Liliaceae

Still, there are people who obviously read every sub forum, whether pertinent to them or not. -
Quote:I find this a typical opinion in people of a majority group when looking at why a minority group wants its own space.Originally Posted by Primal
I don't care for the split-up boards either, myself, not just the one for "Oceanic" types but the Euros either. It all fosters a sense of little groups, not a community. To me, better for people trying to organize some time-specific event to note the time zone, if it's that limited a thing. But hey, if people ask for an enclave, who am I.

I bet you're still in college.
Otherwise, if you're in an office environment, you'd know that tenure is the misconception that's a stupid flaw of management that seems to prevail over capability and work ethic.
Oh well, it keeps the stupid people from sucking our taxes on unemployment.... yay....
Did you actually read my post my good friend. I said I would not pick people due to tenure but due to capability.
And no I am not in College, I am in my 30's and work at a management level in the military.
