So drop hover and fly. I don't know if it's a concept thing or not, so don't betray concept to pick up teleport. I just know that hover and trapping don't go together all that well. It works as long as you stay close to the ground, but I found it far to easy to be off the gound and unable to lay traps while hovering.

As far as A/PPPs: May I suggest Chill Mastery? It puts you at the S/L softcap on its own, and gives you a +max HP power, which, on an MM, is absurd. Hibernate is something I passed on. Ice blast is a good spot for a hold proc, or you could take the AoE sleep to slot the heal proc.

Doesn't sound like there were any other targets in the zone. Pretty hard to switch targets when there isn't another option available.

You've never been on one of my TFs, so you wouldn't know, but I am the opposite of a control freak. I have rules, and I expect them to be strictly followed.

Rule 2: At all times you must be having fun.
Rule 3: If you think you can handle it, you're free to go for it.
Rule 5: Any build, any budget, no exclusions.

Whether the team goes in 8 directions or stays together the whole time, I won't care. If someone has a petless MM concept build, I won't care. If I'm running an MoITF and a level 36 regen scrapper wants on the team, I won't care. When someone on the team (myself included) causes someone else to not have fun, something needs to, and will change.

Learn to realize a joke when you see one. I said I'm not doing it to grief, and that I don't do it if I'm asked not to.

Don't be so judgmental either.

If you're the tank, you should have gotten there before I did.

If you're a melee character, you shouldn't care that I made the distance between you and your enemy shorter.

If you're a squishy, I'm keeping you safe by keeping you in range of my leadership buffs and FFG.

If you're on my team, it's a TF and I'm the leader anyway.

Look, I don't grief people with it. I know we're all out to have fun. If you don't like the Team TP and tell me about it, I stop. Well, at the very least I'll make sure you're not around me when I do it.

It doesn't stack at all. Even if two different players have it.

The effect of the proc is flagged with "does not stack from the same caster." But it's more complicated than that. When the proc fires, it grants an auto power to the target. Since the enemy gains an auto power, the target is essentially giving himself a -20% debuff. So if eight people on a team all have the proc and it fires from all eight people, it's still the enemy giving the power to himself, and it doesn't stack from the same caster, which is always the enemy that has the power.

The best part is that it bypasses the teleport prompt, so it's great for encouraging hesitant tanks and teaching blasters not to fear being in melee range. It also keeps those silly squishies in range of my FFG where they are no longer squishy and mezzable. Occasionally, it serves as good evac tool for bad situations.

Indeed. I passed up Detonator to get Team Teleport.

There's your problem. I use teamport to bring all of my pets into melee with me. It makes sure everyone stays in range of the FFG too. We're all at the softcap, I taunt, and they destroy.

On the new TFs you can.

Just a random tangent thing: It's not a very good idea to use your real name as an online handle. I don't know if that is your real name, but if it is, I'd suggest changing it. I suppose Jones is a common enough name that you wouldn't have too much trouble remaining anonymous, though.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but Kaison is a made up last name.

I have three dark clouds following me.

...with a few exceptions. Most notably is that the tohit debuff can be resisted, and especially so by AVs.

Nothing you said here is wrong, but I'd just like to clarify that -damage doesn't stack linearly with +resist in the same way that -tohit stacks with +defense.

35% defense and 10% tohit debuff is equivalent to the softcap, or 90% total mitigation.

70% resistance and 20% damage debuff is actually 0.70 * 0.20 = 0.14, or 86% total mitigation.

There's no mention of this on the wiki, and it's not something I was aware of. I know LTs and bosses con higher, and have status protection, but I was not aware of any resistance they had.

I hate to ask it like "are you sure?" but ... do we have any proof that this is the case?

Also, don't forget that each one gets around 8 ancillary/patron pools to choose from as well (with the exception of kheldians).
