  1. OK Have a hotel room booked now, so will see you in Birmingham
  2. On my Regen I dont tend to use heals when I have IH running, so if I can keep the mobs around me I wont need to worry about (i) though I think Aid Self will be in the build somewhere

    Defiance

    It needs to be a damage boost or its not really fitting for a blaster. OK so containment doesn't really fit controllers and the defenders have yet to get a real power but the other ATs match their purpose and the blasters purpose is damage right?
  4. I'm sure the name rings a bell, but I'm old and my memory isn't what it once was, I cant even remember what it once was. But welcome back whether I know you or not
  5. With I11 allowing 150 players per SG we can bring in our low level alts and up the prestige earning (I'll be running a Claw/WP scrapper come I11 so will get at least 25 levels from me)

    Power choice ?

    Minerals and Granite dont work together.
    TP to go with Granite would probably be a good idea, so you can actually move around.
    You could take Minerals and drop out of granite when facing psi?

    Vigilance?!?

    I thought I heard something like that but can find no reference either. I think its whats left of my hope that's telling me that.

    Illu/TA

    With my TA I went for hover, really helped seeing more of the fight for some of the TA powers. As such I didn't take cinders so I can see why people would be doing the same for flash

    Vigilance?!?

    You can play for defiance though, you can try and build it yourself. If you start trying to build vigilence the team will complain "Can I have a Rez please?" "No I need the end" wouldn't go down well

    Vigilance?!?

    I think its possibly the worst inate power in the game. Its an icon that takes up space and if you play well you'll hardly get to use it
  11. I really dont know where to start. Um, slot DA, with stuff.

    Basically you want the 3 damage resisting shields to have 3 dam res and at least 1 end red in them. You probably want 1 accuracy in each attack, and also an end red. Dark Regen, your best power from the secondary. I slotted mine 1 acc, 1 heal, 2 endred, 2 recharge. It works wonders, it really does.

    Um

    Wow, yeah start with that.

    One more thing, if you can work in a tech based origin (or don't really care what origin he/she is) then tech's inherent taser thingy can and will light oil slick, when it's not affected by the bug.

    Will be magic origin, but as far as I'm aware the magic temp power will be able to light it too, right? And if not I hope phantasm will do it

    I could make it tech if this was not the case, however.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Magics fine, my TA is magic (although I generally use fire to light it but have tested with the origin power)

    Ice Ice Baby.

    I've seen a tauntless inv do it (and I was in the same position with the rad debuffs) It seems a bit strange that Ice couldn't with its superior aura

    Doesn't life drain require a tohit? Isn't it lacking any accuracy?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He's an Empath, why would he use that? I think Life Drain is just there for the IO set bonuses.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    having never seen anyone use life drain I wasn't entirely sure
  15. yeah seems like an odd bug as you were actually in range and really should have been more entitled than anyone
  16. Doesn't life drain require a tohit? Isn't it lacking any accuracy?
  17. Cynic

    Ice Ice Baby.

    Or an autohit aura. But Taunt is definitely helpful.
  18. I like DM at level 8 and then again at level 32, all the other sets get really nice in the mid levels, Claws and spines both get their one hit kill crits in the 20s while DM has to wait to 32. But then when it gets its it can also onehit in PvP because of the DoT

    Claws is nice early on, and nice at the end, claws is just nice.

    The others are fairly well spread with being alright early on then good by the 20s.

    With secondaries I's agree entirely. SR Is brilliant post 35, incomplete until then. DA and regen are good from the start and Inv is S&L only until 28 really
  19. Have 90 million sat on my brute for when she turns 42 but that's all I've managed to save on villains due to there not being many alts I want to play.

    I have both brute primaries I like already, both brute secondaries that I like ( though I realise that Elec/DA would have been so much sweater now ) and Two MMs (both Dark as I went off TA in a big way and remade, traps and FF are too pasive for me and I cant get the feel for poison. For me its like Kinetics, love teaming with them but cant stand being the person playing it)

    I dont really like corruptors, though I keep meaning to try a /Cold cause its the best support set in the game in my opinion.

    Stalkers make my teath itch.

    Of course if I could play a villain Nictus............. but nah, they dont exist
  20. I only need the one in health which I already had thanks to a lucky TF, it did for one Scirrocos Dervish Set, one Crushing Impact set, one devestation set and a couple of randoms to fill the others. Have two more scirroccos dervish sets to buy a possitrons blast set and that unique Lotg which you mentioned.

    I'm sure it was cheaper back when I outfitted my defender I only remember spending about 250 million but to buy it all now........... ouch
  21. Never, I have the freedom to be a fascist, that's democracy for you

    Edit: but if you help the gyuy posting below you'll only have 28 million left to find
  22. Gah, you're transfering the wrong way
  23. At 2 million I could probably afford that easily and right now every little helps on heroes (spent 128mil on my blaster at the weekend and she still needs more)
  24. If you have enough AoE damage you dont have to reveal them. Visible and dead or invisible and dead are much the same
