  1. Lessay a controller with pets, ie. fire/kin or an ill/rad...

    Edit: Actually my two controllers are those two types... I'm leaning towards Radial but need advice from experienced ppls. Thanks!
  2. So which would benefit a controller more, Core or Radial? I'm stuck in the 1st tier and can't decide...

    It looks okay with the exception of your liberal use of Kinetic Combat bonuses. You might want to read up on the "Rule of Fives" and then repost your build for review.

    I used to farm 53's too but found that the mobs are very slow to melt and my pets die more frequently. The Inf/min is pretty good though. I'll need to run herostats for 52's and see if I can get close to that.
  5. I farm with a fire/mm/force and he's a beast. Slotted for max recharge bonus (192% w/ hasten), I can kill them all before they kill me. So much more fun than a FireKin or a brute farmer.
  6. So I finally got a chance to IO out my fire/kin and decided to take it for a test drive. I was in KR at the time and came across Paladin. I said 'wth, it's only debt,' and sent my monkeys to greet his a**. To my surprise, I didn't die nor did my monkeys. It took less than fifteen minutes to take him out and without inspirations... That's almost the same time it took for my ill/rad. I've killed AVs before with my firekin but can't believe it could take out a GM (granted a weak one but I will try for something more beefier next time).

    my chain is currently chain induction/fire blast/havoc punch. unfortunately i could not fit charge brawl or jacob's ladder in my build. after reading these replies, i'm considering a respec.
  8. after spending my life savings slotting up my ele/sd/blaze scrapper, i now have 167% recharge. what would be the highest single-target attack chain that he can use against AVs during his speed solo portal jockey run?

    RWZ challenge?

    -No inspirations allowed
    -No temp. powers allowed
    -No click accolades (auto accolades are fine)
    -All aggro must be on the player at all times.
    -Spawn must contain three (3) boss level critters
    -Spawn must be +4 (so that means level 54)

    There is some debate about corner pulls, but I think they're fine. Also, I described the RWZ challenge most people brag about. However, you can make it harder or easier on yourself at will. For example, you could fight a +3 spawn, you could pull or you could even do it next to a Pylon (for a crazy challenge).

    Someone please correct me if I missed anything.

    It sounds like this challenge shouldn’t be a problem for high-defense scrappers.

    RWZ challenge?

    My search-fu is no good. What is this “RWZ challenge” that scrapper forum-ers talk about? I have this pretty sick WP scrappy that I like to test…

    Heh.. i know extra +def is nice to have and all.. but being worth more than billion inf?

    I know I didn't think it was. I'll put in a bid and hope that somebody will list low enough that I'll be able to grap one up. I'm still willing to pay good ifn...just not 1 Bil worth of good.

    You'd be surprise what the difference is between softcapping and "nearly" softcapping a typed defensive build. I bought one for just under a billion and thought that was a bargain after seeing how well my scrapper performed. When the patch comes and this IO drops down to $400m, you can be sure I will have my bids in for multiples.
  12. After reading magicj's guide to controller damage, +recharge is definitely the way to go.
  13. I've seen people slot this power in many different ways (GSFC, Obliteration, etc). IMO, +rech and +acc have priority over +dam or +tohit buff... so my question is how should SD be slotted to get the maximum benefits?
  14. Mephe,

    Thank you for the awesome guide. One question though, I’m thinking about putting in conserve power into your tank (not scranker) build - what power or powers would you change or un-slot in order to fit that in?
  15. I’m playing a non-AOE blaster and his specialty is wiping out large groups of orange. Yes, that’s right, he can take out a group of orange. Not only can he handle a group of orange, he can also destroy a combo of 2 purp lieutenants and 2 red minions. How do you suppose he could do this? No, it doesn’t involve any exploits, but rather the trick involves hovering and blasting from a distance. So here’s my suggestion to the person who wrote this guide – try the hover-blasting technique and once you reach level 22, you’ll see a big difference between flight and speed.
