Cynic

It doesn't work if they're all using Energy attacks though, is the onlything I have to be careful of. And yes, well explained.

Once I've taken the alpha strike I tend to throw a Electric Fences to keep them close, and angry, then Dark Regen. By that time Fury is full and Fire Sword Circle will kill most of them, Lightning Ball any stuborn ones and Breath Of Fire what ever is left. Sometimes I even use my single target attacks, but only as a last resort

Am looking for an Acc/Mez HO to silence that question from my own mind

I choose fire/dark because /dark is often living on the edge and fun and fire got a big graphics boost with I6 (thanks to particals) and I wanted to see it.

My elec/Fire exists because I wanted to try a /fire and elec was new at the time. Trying to find something other than Fire/ for AoEs it seemed the only choice.

I also have a Stone/EA which is another kind of SMASH, involves less drawing agro and more running around like an idiot (thus a more normal brute I suppose as my other two both use the enemies alpha strike to get full fury)

A good night all round I think, and Clamor certainly seemed to fall easy.

Moonfire next week (which you all know cause we started the TF before logging)

My blue bar is mostly black anyway, and the green bar flashes green and black. All the fun of bruting.

Take fire as a primary and instead of thinking "Which one shall I attack first?" think "Which ones are over the AoE cap?" cause you'll have to ST them after

I do have her unlocked but I dont really want to repeat this TF, if you get a team together and none of them have it I can start it for you though

If that's alright with everyone else. We should get the 3 TF missions done anyway

A second end red in the attacks would benefit you much more than the second one in the toggles

/emp a real troller? Meh

[/ QUOTE ]The point in taking /emp is so you can ignore your secondary and take all the mind powers

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey that's not fair..... well yes it is. Its hard playing a mind controller without taking all the powers and its hard pushing back the boredom level to play an emp.

But then I'm finding kin dull at the moment, just not enough debuffs.

Bleh...I see Dmg/Range not on your list!

Damm you Hamidon for Centriole Exposures!

[/ QUOTE ]

Its what I needed last time, but I have my two now on Schro. couldn't believe how many people were trying to trade them away, but didn't want the one I had.

Its really nice in TT by the way, so you could give it to one of your scrappers

Being as I am still carless and will be for tomorrow I may well be late tonight, probably around this time at the earliest

FF is still usable, if you go for the -acc debuff on the heroes, the defence of FF helps really alot (stacked prefered :P).

And it has been discussed many times, RSF favors certain builds/sets, but also (if enough players) picks certain sets above others. This case Mercs are biting the dust. Why you shouldnt complain here? If your set is only usable with use of Shivans, leadership and a Nuke, whats the whole freaking use of your set then? (by far, Mercs damage is pants)

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah, this follows my thoughts on getting rid of shivans and nukes. If something can only be done with them, or an optimised team the goal is poorly thought out

Dont let broadcast put you off Capt, you have a good history of successful raids.

In other news, I crashed 3 times during that raid from lag spikes. I thought my recent bad lucfk was down to my dial up before but I was on my laptop and broadband at the time

Best of luck with the Warshade, I just about witnessed the ding in between crashes

Have done Taik's costume, Schro's in the hive already so will do hers after the raid's done

Proof

When debuffing I always toggle Ltns cause the blasters forget about them and I notice less anchors dying, so with that in mind my DM/SR always runs right for the boss. Its well suited for taking down anything one on one and doesn't need support for bosses.

Now my DM/Regen played differently and I'd use large attacks on minions and other attacks on Ltns while the charged ones were coming back. But then I liked the agro on me, but I'd rather the big hitters (bosses) swung for someone else

After a recent respec on SR I found the only power I could bare to drop was Agile, I found that ST ranged attacks were the type I faced the least. If all the passives can be put in though you do get a bit of resistance from it.

Oddly I've never felt the need to overslot for Acc on my Rad/Rad for two reasons. Aim for the times when I'm not defence debuffing. Defence debuffing all the time.

I have 1 acc in each power that will take them and that is really all I need.

I dont have my build at work but can post it tomorrow(you'll want more slots in RI than mine as mine has just the 3 HOs in it but other than that it should be helpful)

Gearbox has gone on my car, so not likely to make this one now (no broadband at home and hami raids on dialup is silly, plus leaving for work at 6:30 if I use public transport makes sunday evening bad)

Car should be back by wednesday so next raid shouldn't be a problem

They seem to have the absolute worst AI of all the pets, though am finding mercs are in stiff competition with them

No worries mate, felt good to do it

Nice let me know how it goes

Biography: Before her birth her mother was infected by a radiation leak from National City. The leak was kept quiet and no one madde the connection between the increased rate of cancer and the power station. Mobile phones and powercables were clearly to blame.

During her teenage years the change became apparent. If she got angry, or jealous, or even lustful people would getg sick, very sick.

Her father had a good idea of what was going on, a mutant himself but with such a minor ability that he'd kept it quiet. He's made some money during his youth from this and decided to put that to use now. Natalya entered a program of home schooling, the best thatg money could buy. Her "talent" was ignored.

Byt the time she was 21 she held three doctorates, in physics, psychology and zoology. But at a terrible cost. Her parents were dying. They knew she was the cause but still didn't say anything.

At her fathers funeral a member of Hero Corps detected her power and approached her. She did not believe a word her said, obviously, and turned him away. A man in a black suit over heard this though and tghat night she went missing.

Three months of intense questioning by NSA agents and she was shipped off to NASA. The idea of using her to power the space program was only flawed in that she had no control over the power she wielded. The explosion was put down as nuclear testing and once more she vanished, but this time from the governments eye as well.

After a year of training by the Hero Corps she set off to become an agent in Paragon. Having been promised the most crazed villains to analyze and the strangest paranormal creatures to study. Her apartment is paid for by the Hero Corps, though her research is self funded from her parents estate.
