I don't know what game I will play next, but I am sure one of my characters will be StrongNPretty

Pretty sure their Placate is bugged.

I actually almost bought GW2 before I learned of this but the online order system was *****-ed.

Oh well, maybe secret world.

Awesome! Too much win!

Ice looks really good, but I have to rule it out for thematic reasons. Also ruling out mace mastery for thematic reasons, but it wasn't really in the running anyway (though the shield is nice).

I am leaning mostly toward Primal Forces and Soul Mastery.

Primal Forces:
-Nice blast
-Additional survival with resistance shield to common damage types
-A damage cone- I don't normally like cones, but I think on a controller with tons of slows, immobilizes and a teleport, it would see a lot of use.
-Power boost-All sorts of goodness here, not the least of which is soft-capped defenses.

Soul Mastery:
AOE goodness. Both an AOE attack and a pseudo-build up. Night sure if I would take the resistance shield or the AOE end drain (decent damage, but long recharge).


Some of this would be easier to figure out if I knew what direction I wanted to go in, but I still in a "playing around" mode since not only is /time new, but this is my first controller. Right now I am leaning toward more damage and some defense. That's probably foolish since if I wanted damage I should have rolled a blaster. Nonetheless, I can't help it!

So where does Street Justice rate compared to other brute sets in single target dps?

So has someone done "teh maths" to say where StJ single target DPS fits in with other Brute sets?

You can now create costumes that include "locked" bits. If you want them you have to buy them.

Could it be that? Look and see if you have any little "lock" symbols and either buy the piece or change it.

Wow. Really just have to say great job!

Quick question- Does it break hide for stalkers?

If not, that might make it worth it on my MA (i.e. not a single AOE attack)/sr stalker that would also fit thematically.

If I were going to consolidate the AT forums my personal preference would be:

Melee (you smash things in the mouth)
Support (everybody else)



In all seriousness: I understand the desire to merge the ATs. Stalker forums are "dead," and there are plenty of "should I be a scrapper or a brute" threads that have to be cross posted. That said, still better to leave the AT forums as is, including the general AT/power discussion section.

Maybe the recruiting/player events could be eliminated as they could go into the specific servers?

Just going to give a little of my experience in hopes of getting a conversation starting.

I "leveled" my Ax/wp brute to +3 by grinding out x8 mission for shards for the common Alpha before I starting trials. After about 18 trials I had common interface and judgment and a rare alpha, destiny and lore. I felt like he contributed to just about all stages though did not particularly "shine" at any one thing. Let me add, there were plenty of other brutes as well as scrappers and tankers.

I then started on my stalker. I have done about 12 missions (and one Weekly task force) to get a rare alpha and a rare destiny and a common judgment. During that time there was only 1 other stalker.

My MA/SR stalker is particularly "stalker-ish" in that he fits the stereo-type of being light on AOE. Pretty much none (well the exploding shuriken) until the judgment power (void IIRC). Also pretty a one-trick pony when it comes to surviving: defense.

So against the "trash" mobs he faces early in a trial, he's not particularly helpful. Every point of DPS helps, but still. He's also one of less helpful in the prisoner escape phase of BAF. And should he attract the attention of more than one or two mobs, he goes down quick (though I have learned to stock up on purples since I discovered "soft cap" defense isn't good enough).

On the other hand, I like him better than my brute for dealing with the lab-dash in Lamda. Sneak to crate/containment cell, spike damage, move on. And against AVs he deals hella damage with the increased crit rate. I do with assassin strike would be more useful as a tool. Basically have to have placate, AS and BU ready to use it and then hope you don't get some splash damage or the AV moves and ruins your plans.

So a mixed bag, which is probably about right. Also, never not been accepted into trial team because I was an lolstalker.

So, what have been the experiences of others?

Note to self-
New ebil scheme:
Create freemium accounts- scam billionaire marketeers at 20m a pop.


Kidding aside, this is a good idea for the health of the game. Need to encourage the (hopefully) wave of new players that Freedom will bring.

Was going to make a new thread suggesting this but "Search is my friend!"

Freedom is probably sucking up all the o2 right now; but this would really be a nice QoL improvement (eventually).

Unless you purposely try to screw up your build- I think just about any brute works pretty well. Some maybe more so than others, but they are all pretty solo-friendly with a good mix of damage and survivability.

I really want a grav/time controller for concept reasons (well, it just seems cool).

However, I would like to think that there will be some synergy between these two. Best I can see is the holds might stack, but that seems a little overkillish.

I am not really well versed in the ways of controllers, my grav/storm being abandoned at level 16 when I heard about TM.

So putting aside the coolness factor, does Grav/Time seem to be a decent combo?

Also, as far as the trials are concerned, the Pinnacle "hang out" seems to be the Rikti War Zone. (I think some other servers might use Pocket D).

I am able to log in an get right into a league about 50% of the time just by logging in the RWZ.

And I am a very solo-oriented player.
