Not to speak on 2-head boy's account, but he wasn't referring to you. There is a laughable claim on this thread that reffing would have made a difference in 4 games with a 21-4 margin, but you didn't make it.

Someone from the Repeat Offenders group did a bunch of tests and there's a thread on their forums. I don't know their URL, so maybe one of their members will see this and post the link to that particular thread.

The Sonic Cage thing (and FF Detention Field) is that the Acc/Mez will increase the increase the accuracy and mag. Yes magnitude, not duration.

Dunno, I'm fine with deleting the entire thread if that's how it is. That's not my issue though. Nor do I feel compelled to share my issue with you.

Thanks to Zombie Man for the answer.

One last question, just a shot in the dark... are the mods, at least the generic Moderator_x ones, trained to not respond to e-mails?

Par for the course, they did this the last time they were in the finals... where they lost... in game 7. So this is just what they do when they don't get their way (look in other posts in this thread for similar examples).

I have no doubt Vancouver is a lovely city with pretty parks, nice weather and easy to score pot. Sports-wise though, it's 3rd-tier. They don't even know that you're supposed to riot when you win, not lose.

Tomorrow night just can't get here fast enough...

Go Bs!

This bug happened outside of Khan too, on Train missions. One time I was on a team with mixed alignment where the rogue was targetable to everyone else and vice versa. We tried to see if we could go for some pvp drops, but no rep was awarded.

Are you referring to the Canuck fan at the 1:10 mark who says "the city here has been fantastic, the people have been hospitality plus..."?

For purposes of establishing some bonafides, I've played every control set to 50 either on a Dom or Troller and also every Buff/Debuff set across the 4 ATs with those powers. I'm not pointing that out to say "look at all my 50s" but just to establish hands-on experience.

My favorite controller, regardless of secondary, happens to be a /Cold, Earth/Cold to be specific.

"Why?" you ask...

Is it the awesome farming, like a fire/kin or plant/storm offers? No. I haven't earned any incarnates post alpha for this character, but I'm sure aquiring those would help in that regard. He can farm, it's safe enough, it's just not fast.

Is it the AV/GM solo big-game hunting like ill/rad, ill/cold or even some fire/rads can do? No, though again incarnate pets should actually make this achievable.

What it does offer though, is exceptional crowd control such that I find I've always got an aoe control available in reserve, just in case. 3 of these 4 aoe controls can be placed around corners (as can Quicksand). Then you've got aoe debuffs, including the great Freezing Rain. With Quicksand and/or Snow Storm, there simply are no runners to chase down (except War Wolves). The cherry on top is Stoney, who's quite tough before you add shields or hp, and he generates a good amount of threat to get and hold aggro.

Though damage from the primary is on the low side among the control sets, it's "good enough" with Stoney and epics.

So, bottom line, I haven't seen a group encounter yet where this character wasn't making substantial contributions.

Edit to add - With respect to Frostworks, it's a good power, but in Cold, is perhaps the first one to go when evaluating what to skip to pick something else you think is more valuable. To make the most of Frostworks, you would need a good awareness of your teammates to know who the best targets are. The Stalker? No. The Brute? Oh yes. It gets more complicated with Tanks and Scrappers because utility of FW can vary across powersets within an AT.
