  1. So at one point in time. . . I should be running:

    Steamy
    Hover
    Sprint
    Maneuvers

    Along with actually setting up attacks and holds? Without running all of those (not to mention where are the slots coming from to slot these up?) I am already always carrying a tray of blues and often making conversions to blues while in the map.

    I would love to see a build for this because I just can't see the slotting.

    Thanks much all for the help so far.

    If you're keeping Crush, slot it as an attack. In the long run you'll probably want to drop it.

    Add damage to Gravity Distortion after maxing Hold duration.

    Steamy Mist needs endurance reduction. So does Manuevers. So does Hover probably too.

    Replace Range in Singularity.

    I would skip Snow Storm. If you also drop one other power (Crush would be my pick for this combo) you can pick up Aid Other and Aid Self. Sadly AO does nothing for Singularity, but Aid Self will help you greatly if used at the right times (basically any time you'd e eating a green outside of a dire combat situation--that way you can save greens for dire combat situations).

    I think Will of the Controller will work best in Thunderclap, assuming you actually cast Thunderclap from time to time. Put damage procs and endurance reduction in the aoe immobilize. At level 50, add Ragnarok Chance for KD and the purple immob Chance to Hold.

    Take the slow set out of Freezing Rain. Focus on recharge, and maybe a Achille's Heel proc if you can afford one.

    Add a stealth IO to Sprint. It stacks with Steamy Mists andgives you invisibility from most mobs until you attack.

    While the Energy APP is somewhat useful for what you're trying to do, I'd consider Psi. But that's mainlyafter reaching level 50 and getting endurance under control.
    - The only time I use Thunderclap is by accident.
    - Run sprint and Hover?
    - I took Steamy just for the slot to put LotG into it, again, it never gets run.
    - Snow Storm I could totally drop, heh, along with O2 Boost, I never ever ever ever use either.
    - I will probably keep Crush, I use it right now as a runner net because nothing I hate more than chasing down anything.
    - I'm not sure why you would suggest Psi, could you elaborate, I mean sure it would be of minor usefulness against Carnies, but it seems like Conserve Power, Temp Invuln, and Power Boost (if it works like Mids explains it) would be more useful more of the time.


    Thank you though for the feedback.
  3. So below is my current build. I apologize that the enhancement levels are not the correct levels, but obviously I cannot be level 42 with level 50 IO's.

    I am just not feeling all powerful. Carnies rip me to shreds. I can only run +1/+2 missions. Most bosses give me troubles.

    I need help before I cry myself away from this character. Love the concept. Love the costume I built around him. Just not handling the performance. Need tips on my build thus far.

    I do not have unlimited resources so please no crazy 20billion inf builds. I can move some stuff around or pick up some other enhancements, but nothing drastic.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

  6. Hiya gang,

    Quick question:

    Is there a way to play in a hidden or anonymous mode?



    You know. . . sometimes you just want to log on and not have to be bothered by those folks in your friend lists and play solo.

    Unfortunately, too many people get too butt hurt when you tell them you'd rather solo for a bit.

    Thanks much.

A Super Strength punch that sounds like an explosion might not be reasonable, but then again, we are playing as superheroes.

    That would make me happy, so I could get rid of the annoying "pew woo woo woo woo" sound effect on my sonic assault defender.


    THIS! Please! Please please!

    I know it would take coding, but how hard is it to trim sounds to certain sizes?

    B: I'm definitely pre ED but it hasn't really bothered me. I don't spend my time worrying about little things like squeezing every last percentage point out of enhancements. To be quite honest, the only change ED brought that I actually noticed was I not longer had perma-hasten and I did a "slots only" respec to spread them out from things that no longer benefited from 6 slotting like stamina and health.

    I still have fun, and really, isn't that the entire point of all this?
