Doulos, i will happily roll a mind/kin controller for the librarian if that's okay with you?

that would rock dude, broadening the power sets a bit will make the group really powerful and versatile as long as we keep the theme going it should work fine

but them is a bit more CoV me thinks go on tufty join up, and Harps, delete someone....

Well, the base is up and running in all its smallness... I ahve got frostfire at level 10/11 so when we can get a team together we have a good mission to get going with, dual powerfists sounds like an en/invul tank...

There aren't really ranks, its more roles that define what peoples "ranks" are in the group. If anyone wants to make a tank that would be cool, I'll make the roles the following...

Commander (AR/EN Blaster)
Librarian (mind/Kin Troller)
Chaplain (Empath/Psi Defender)
Terminator (Invul En/Axe Tank)
Battle Brother (AR/EN Blaster)

Please help this form, the uniform thing totally rocks and I will post a full spec of it on here for those that want.

Well if you guys want to roll them I'll happily chage the structure...

Commander
Librarian
Chaplain
Squad Leader
Brother

Birthed today this is a new concept SG which may appeal to those who are fans of Warhammer 40k...

It was a lot of fun tonight, seeing 5 people all running around machine gunning stuff all dressed kinda similar, the Concept of the SG is simple, same look, same power sets, shooting stuff.

All members are AR.En Blasters and all member wear the uniform which will be described below. The emphasis is very much on the AR using the En purely for its buffs (so eventually a built up Full Auto can be fired every 41 seconds... sounds fun!) The group is not really about blapping, it is about blasting. I will try to devlop some background and stuff to the group but I really don't want to tread on copyrighted stuff so will carefully avoid terms such as warp, horus heresy, space marines that sort of thing, this is for the pragmatic sense purely a group of elite Marine types who happen to wear armour...

The emphasis is goign to be very much on teaming as a group when possible, but no setting of dead lines or days to play, tactical play (team speak if possible) and fast action...

here are some pictures and descriptions of the ranks:

Commander - distinguished by his all white helmet and white shoulder pads with a purple decor the commander is me purely cause I made the SG and anticipate doing a lot of leg work

Chaplian - the Chaplain is a player who chooses to promote the saftey and well being of others, in other words has the healing pool, in the SG only one in 7 can become a Chaplain (1 per 8 man team) but others are welcome to take to pool to support the work.

Squad leader - Again, one for every eight man team that can be fielded, should we ever get that! A squad leader wears armour identical to that of the Brother (main trooper) except that the colours of the shoulder pieces are inverted.

Scout - distinguished by their all white belts and gloves scouts are those who have the ability to become cloaked and cloak others, often being able to teleport team mates past difficult terrain as well. To become a scout one must have the stealth powerset.

Brother - these are the core fighting troops of the Rifles, they shoot things...

The armour is tech wired, with tech wired details on the chest and the legs, the helmet is the one with 2 colours on it and no face, the eyes are the second set (smaller) and the vents are to the side. Boots and gloves can me made the big version if you prefer (I personally do on this look) and thats about it.

If you wanna come and play please do, it's a lot of fun and the noise of gunfire in a team sounds excellent and is really quite satisfying in a team situation. Give it a go, you just might like it!

fantastic bloke, fantastic player, fantastic job, please get build up next time

At 8pm this friday the first respec will be running... current team is

Double-D (fire frie blaster)
Nurse Kat (Rad Rad defender)
Amazone Angel (PB)


anyone up for it let us know!

471 hours on Doulos
340 hours on Blapper

see sig for builds

the only things I haven't been able ot beat with an energy energy blaster are /regen although it has been very close everytime (normally I loose by one) and one particular ice/ice blaster

Appears to be full as I have posted but there seems to be a limit of 870 pages

After taking longer than any other player in teh world to do the last 4 levels Rocky hit 50! Serves him right for walking everywhere in granite form with rooted running...

GJ buddy on 50 number 2.

power boost does enhance damage... it boosts all seconday functions of any power for a give time, the secondary function of aim is a 25% damage increase... so therefore it increases the damage of the eventual attack especially when coupled with build up...

Just tested and NO it does not enhance damage. Powerboost enhances secondary effects, not primary effects. Damage is a primary effect.

apologies for being wrongs, the extra whum of the buff must just make me all excite...

Rifle is the lowest output weapon, it has nice high level AoEs and 2 low level ones, however it is mainly smashing/lethal which all villains get a resistance to from a relatively early stage.

If we're talking primaries only (no build up) then fire fire can dish the damage faster earlier, plus the lack of knock back means that the mobs just stand there and get flamed.

Energy primary is pretty good too but more single target damage.

Ice slows lots therefore giving you time to heap up damage, it is also a quick set.

Electricty, as has been said before is the middle ground for damage and control fire being one end and ice being the other.

If we're talking with secondaries then the added bonus of power boost along side aim and build up makes it the most powerful asset, however on pure numbers I a, told electricity nudges it slightly.

About Blappers. Get a level 50 scrapper of whatever you want, let him one hit my blapper (Blapper) see how much it hurts (with no armours etc just pure damage) then let me one hit him... Blasters played well in close combat are the most destructive force in the game. If anyone wants to test this hypothesis we can do an arena test of it sometime, non combat just experimenting, my money is on power boost, Aim, build up Total Focus doing more damage than any other attack out there bar a Nuke... build up and head splitter possibly coming in next (this is of course ignoring the overly uber Assasins strike)

I didn;t knwo that cherry, will keep stum... never found her to be anything but pleasant and helpful oh well... she only beat me 3-2 which for a blaster against a troller ain't bad....

the thing I want to do is have mass Nova form fights in the arena.... be like a flight sim of something, either a free for all or WS vs PB all exemped to level 6 and you can onyl attack or be attacked in kheld form

And yes, 8 khelds would produce MOBS of stalkers!

you are the enemy, i will not help, except to say when you see us hit out buffs (Aim, Build up and sometimes powerboost if Enegry seconday) run away for 6-10 seconds. I fought one brute, we were both at 40, ti was 1-1 at the end and an interesting match. I dropped his toggles twice, the second time 2 seconds before the timer ran out... GAH

GJ buddy, sorry to miss the final ding after such a long trip of it together...

Blapper, level 50 En/En/Force blaster, would like to try out for the team sir... got a controller friend who I know who might be interested Sweet Chilli, she hangs around warburg beating heroes and villains up for fun, will talk to her tomorrow.

really wish I could have been there, the one time something in RL gets in the way uber gratz mate, well played well got, truly an awesome example of how to play an empath, I think I personally got you all your healing badges along the way.

No PLing rogue, just empaths are popular and therefore get asked into big teams and SKd all the time! (Would have been longer if not for me though )

full auto is pvp is not a great power... 6 second lock down...

the whole AR/Dev set conversation seems to domintae this part oft he forums at teh moment and the general feeling is it needs a lot of love to match up in damage to the out put of enery fire or nay of the others, plus its slowness is a bit of a bug bear. Increase teh damge by 25% across the board and it might actually compete in terms of damage. However the set is not about raw damage, its all about strategy, patience and tactical know how... a team of them working together would be quite fun though and have considered this option myself. Imagine the mine fields, stacked fullautos and flame throwers!

340 hours, thank you all for your help in what has been a really fun journey. Double-D the firey minx begins life as a ranger tomorrow... thank you all. (but a major shout goes out to big Jum for 20 levels of personal healing )

Blappers good at pummelling... he's come along.

D ain't exatly PvP built either...
