    Dark is the obvious choice, but I have found that Sonic is great fun to play.

    I think that Mind has great control... plus the good thing about Sonic as a secondary is that you get to spam your holds, sleeps and confuses = mass carnage.

    I've had no problems with this set-up (although I'm built for PvE) -

    From my personal experience I would recommend the following:

    Snow Storm = 2 x End Red, 2 x Slow
    Steamy Mist = 2 x End Red, 3 x Damage Res
    Freezing Rain = 3 x Rech Red, 1 x End Red
    Hurricane = 2x End Red, 3 x Acc Debuff
    Tornado = 3 x Dam, 2 x Rech Red, 1 x End Red
    Lightning Storm = 3 x Dam, 2 x Rech Red, 1 x End Red

    Hope this helps

    I can probably make this one and am in need of the badge, plus it'll be fun.

    Congrats!!!
  12. Disco_Freak
    I have a level 35 Claw/SR Scrapper and I can say it was definately hard in the lower levels (debt badges hehe), but now I'm slotted up with SOs and have more defensive powers I'm loving it!!!
  13. Disco_Freak
    I can't guarantee it but I'll try my best to be there with Antibody (lvl 30 Empath)...

    Get Stealth? Are you crazy? Steamy Mist is a much better power (stealth and 30% res to energy, cold and fire damage plus it's a pAOE TEAM stealth).

    And Cap, I really wouldn't recommend getting O2 Boost and Heal Other.

    Congratulations Duckdee... it's been a long time coming!!!

    I luuuuuuuuuuuv thunderclap.

    It looks great and stacks well with my Screech and Tornado
  19. Disco_Freak
    Good advice from Psygon.
    Here are a few things I wanted to add:

    [ QUOTE ]
    01) --> O2 Boost==> Rechg(1) Rechg(3) Rechg(3) Heal(5) Heal(5) Heal(7)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You don't really need 3 recharges in this power. It recharges quite quickly and those slots can be used elsewhere (like in Thunderclap).

    [ QUOTE ]
    18) --> Thunder Clap==> Acc(18) Acc(23) EndRdx(29)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    To get the best out of this power it really needs to be fully slotted. 2 x acc, 2 x recharge and 2 x disorientates. I love the animation on this power and contrary to many people who say don't take it ups your survivability/control (I use it all the time ).

    [ QUOTE ]
    28) --> Aim==> Rechg(28) Rechg(36) Rechg(42) TH_Buf(43)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    TBH, I don't think the to-hit buff will make a lot of difference (as it gives you +100% acc anyway).

    Hope this helps. I've been on this game since the EU release, trying loads of combinations of heroes, and I have to admit that Storm is my favourite of all of them.
  20. Disco_Freak

    All Defender team?

    POST-ACTION

    Try doing what the 1-AT Coalition did a year ago... have one of each primary in the team. It is great fun and pretty much unstoppable.
  22. Disco_Freak

    Pick my new toon!

    POST-ACTION

    I say go for Storm/Sonic-or-Archery for something different and fun, or Storm/Dark-or-Electric like all the 10 million others out there.
  23. Disco_Freak
    STORMMMMM!!!!!

    It's the most fun I've had on a computer.

    Plus, being the only Defender in a team of 7 other Blasters on Invincible missions and keeping them all pretty much alive is where Storm's chaos comes into it's own.
  24. Disco_Freak

    Best solo Def?

    Storm is the hidden jewel of the Defender sets...

    Go Sonic Blast, I've found the stacking -res to be really useful.
