    is it just me...

    Yeah can chain hold one foe easily enough, but the AoE takes too long to come back, only get it about 1 in 3 fights.

    Its how long my larger attacks take to come back the concerns me, Ice Sword Circle is the only thing I have with any sort of damage out put, it takes forever it seems. Frost Breath is nice too but I have to be careful not to agro anyone outside the area of my auras. If my ice sword, ice sword circle and AoE holds all came back sooner would feel comfortable soloing, just dont at the moment.
  2. O2 boost has some nice secondry effects aside from the actual heal. If you're playing PvE definitely O2 boost.

    PvPers will tell you to take Gale, and if you're someone who likes PvP yourself its probably worth listening to them. Taking Gale in PvE is a good way to get kicked out of teams (memory casts back to a pick up team, several "please stop using gale" cries from the 2 tanks and 3 scrappers in the team of 6 before we decided we didn't actually need a defender THAT much)
  3. But which one of you is the most serious eh eh eh?

    Hopefully in a team with someone who has healing you dont have to yell "heal me" at all.

    If all goes well I reign supreme, if my hold misses, or they resist the slows in my powers I die. Its not a bad feeling, and one SO's should help me balance more in my favour.
  5. Is one of them hot? Always nice to work for a hot lady........ sorry, work on a hot lady, got that wrong....... I'm for independent myself.

    Yeah my Ice/FF 'troller got deleted after I'd played my dominator for a few days. Though I am thinking of a grav/storm troller, cant do storm on CoV........ mind you I have a lot of CoV left to do first as I see it, so many things I want to play.

    Not sure you need any AT in your team to be successful, if you have a good diverse team then the missions are easier, but its still doable without one.

    I dont think I've been on a team without a mastermind yet having said that, so maybe without one of those you'd be in trouble.

    I've solo'd one mission so far, how anti social of me, left me missing my team when the ambushes started, need a bit of downtime when soloing, control runs out and dont do enough damage to survive without it yet.

    Once I have all 6 SO's in it I will tell you how it preforms then, it is without a doubt the most damaging attack in the set up to my level and I have a feeling it could be great.

    If I had to choose would pick it over frost breath cause all the people I hit with it are sat in my aura's so may be confused and should definitely be slowed so their responses to it might not kill me, Frost Breath is not the same cause it extends beyond my aura's and has had me hit by a volley of grenades before sending me straight to floor eating.
  9. Both, but Tar Patch as priority. Keeps things at a distance and seriously reduces their resistance, what more could a corruptor want?

    I have all the powers from my secondry available.

    Frost breath is good, but its taken me a while to work out its cone and I still haven't got it 100% right yet. Its not a very visual power so you have to know where you are hitting. It does the damage in two ticks so the numbers that appear above groups distorts who you have hit. It and Ice Sword Circle are my main offence and both are well equiped with slots (but waiting till next level to put SOs in them)

    Usually I hate the 25-30 levels but it didn't seem too bad this time, but I was in some very good teams which always helps. Certain groups I find really hard work, long bow have too many things that fly and I've not got Glacier slotted up enough to deal with them yet, and nullifiers make me swear. I have collected the first debt badge, but most of my debt I got this week, and I think I just had a bad few days.

    Hard part is I'm not ranged or mellee on attacks yet, that wont happen till I get the next two, cause there's not enough of one or the other to cycle. Ice Sowrd Circle eats a silly amount of end as well.

    End costs reducing and recharge getting better would really make the whole thing ideal for me.

    Think I'd rather the endurance and recharge decrese than damage, dont mind not being the damage king but have to wait a long time for attacks and feel the end/damage relationship isn't great.
  12. Cynic

    is it just me...

    I love my dominator and have a second one waiting in the wings for when I've hit the level cap with this one. Our damage aint too hot sure but hell there's some good survivability in there. Sure doms aren't the best solo AT for CoV (would probably hazard a guess at the worst) but in a team I often feel like I make a difference.
  13. I carry 3 in AA and yeah it works fine with 3 and 3 slotted stamina.

    trust me you dont want to take my approach though when it comes to leveling been playing since february abd the highest lvl character i got is 40

    Started in Feb too, what ever you're doing looks productive compared to me.
  15. Well have all but three of the ice secondries now and I dont think there's a power among them I will skip. Chilling Embrace wouldn't be too handy if you weren't going melee (but if you're not going melee ice in general is a poor choice)
  16. Another shower? Its not cleaning my mind at all but I'm getting water logged
  17. The imo's should have -fly right? They do for Ice/earth/fire at least, not played grav before so dont know for sure
  18. Yeah, she was a bit too easy, she hit me once, then the second hold of mine got her and kept her mezzed through the entire fight. She's the only thing I've fought this week I've done well against, having a bit of a rough one is my wolf, got his first debt badge yesterday, had 10 deaths this week, so figure that was most of it

    Btw, it seems possible for heroes to be in coalition with villain groups and hence maybe enter each other bases as villains or heroes? Anybody tried this out?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep, although you can't attack each other

    Although we did steal all their toilet paper!!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hero's stole from villains or villains from heros? Would have been worse if you left one sheet, then watched the SG kill to get the last sheet though.

  22. I do miss Talos a bit now I have a toon with SJ, Talos is a very fun zone with SJ and none of the new Villain ones seem to emulate that, well Sirens does but if you're jumping through their looking at scenery you're probably in trouble.

    Interesting that you can go to a hero base.......... no killing is probably a good thing, can imagine some wonderful petty situations where you kill a leader for your CoH SG only to log back in and find your hero kicked. I'd say it would take about 3 to 4 hours before a post appeared on here saying that if it was allowed
  23. Ghost killing on the agenda then Max? Cause I want to fight them hero's
