Cynic

Well I did have PB double stacked pre ED and that was nasty with Hasten running I could suddenly lose half my end bar without noticing it.

Mostly my end problems came from being able to spam Touch Of Fear so damned fast

Yes, I knew it......... well I'd guessed it and damn that's close, almost balanced. Felt like a bigger difference to me but then I was always the SR never the Inv

Cool, then I'm in. I should have known it was timed, as its a trial and all, but is one of those things I've never got around to doing

I'd swap SR with Inv but otherwise agree with the list

I have till about 6pm, but would be interested if 4 hours is enough time for it. Need it on SchrodingersCat, so there's a Rad/Rad at your service

I believe Maxmilion has a ice/mace tanker, perhaps sending him a PM?

Its Ice/Axe but as the powers are so close I'd imagine they'd be simular must haves. I think he's only missing one attack as well though

I love combustion but everyone else around here seems to hate it. So I'll say keep it and be outvoted soon. Reasons I love it... Recharge, size of target area, nifty animation and fireworks.

Fire doesn't have good resistances, fire does have a freequent fast uninteruptable heal. It also has Burn which with an imob at level 41 becomes damage mitigation in the way nothing is standing to fight you

Ooh I can only imagine fire/dev/regen and ice/dev/regen blasters going around PvP zones with MoG and cloaking device on... What's there to stop em?

[/ QUOTE ]

Self respect...... no wait, I see what you're saying now

I like the new structure, sounds better in my opinion

Inventions in costumes are character specific I'm affraid mate, or I'd have burned wings on everyone, well not that all of mine could use them, but I'd have them

Yes, I'm aware about the repel. So if I keep spamming Fire Cages the mobs won't get kb, right? Good stuff. Thanks for reply Spirit.

[/ QUOTE ]Yep. Bonfire+Cages is actually a good combo, as it stops them bouncing out. Sometimes you will want knockdown from Freezing Rain...

***Bonus Points tip***

Bonfire on higher conning enemies, I think it's around +4s/+5s, actually OWNS for control, because against stuff that high, it does a knockback so weak, it's knockdown!

[/ QUOTE ]

However the -KB doesn't last as long as the imob and thus should be spammed to keep them in place. Also flyers have strange rules for -KB and imob and thus you can lose some on occaision

Antimatters robots have KB protection and Bonfire is always KD on them unless you're much higher level. Same for the almost identical electrical versions.

Bonfiring into a corner is also fun and can keep foes Ragdolled and unable to act at all

Ok, point taken on Spines/DA, i totaly forgot i used to ahve one upto SO range and it really does lovely AoE.

Villian based they have more sets to use, where fiery armor with Mu mastery is best bet although i'm very unknown in missions and such in high lvl villians.

Anyway, as False say, its about blaster AT and not about best farm AT's

Fire/fire or elec/fire are best bet on AoE.

Elec Melee/ Fire Aura / Mu mastery

Gives you a nuke as well as imob and burn.

Am not a farmer at heart so I cant say which villain missions would be good for it. I know at level 40 there was a lovely Nem one on the Dreck map that had me grinning as I cleared it but am not sure if you get something simular in the 45-50 range. I tended to ghost with MM and my Fire/DA was a bit of a blur. Half the time I didn't look at what mobs I was fighting, just my blue bar and my insp tray

Wait, whats the idea with Status effects on a brute? You let things live THAT long??!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, yeah. Gotta build up that Fury somehow...

[/ QUOTE ]

Alpha Strike. Thats where fury comes from on a DA. Can fill the bar with that alone, then fill your health with Dark regen and lay them all to waste in seconds

I'd recomend Elec/Fire. With speed boost Lightning Rod will be nuking at least every other group, and when you finally get a patron power take the AOE imob and you can imob + burn then. Pretty much as good AoEs as the game gives you.

Sorry blasting is new to me, I'm too used to defending......... run in before the tank, use blazing aura to gather the agro then let one Fire Sword Circle kill them all mwhahahahahahahaha

Oh if its a boss I TS then CB him after the EMP and keep him stunned, at least until Choking Cloud kicks in

WB mate

A lot of that comes down to possitioning. Make sure you're the other side of the mobs to the tank, then the cones will focus on him and you'll be out of most AoEs

I just think its a good opener and tend to use it at the start of fights. If there's not many foes left (apart from AVs) then I wont bother with it. I like using it on the STF ambushes when you're trying to find that damn key too

I use Choking Cloud all the time, EMP is my big fight starter or my AV crippler. Unless I know there's an AV coming up I will use it at will, but will normally save it for an AV if I need to. I guess thats different to just using it when I can, or just saving it. Some sort of middle ground. I dont have to worry about the end loss to me thanks to Powersink (which is always up when I need it) so for me there's no bad sides to using it

I use EMP as an opener on tough fights and also as an extra debuff on AV fights. I have 3 Acc/MeZ and 3 Recharge in it which works well for me

I never Blizzard in LoS myself, cause if I have Defiance FSC is as good as a nuke, so why waste my end?

I quite like the dual tanto
