Fire/Cold.

All that AoE on Sleet, nuking every once in a while without negative effects while being an awesome force multiplier? Instant favorite.

A Gravity Controller alternating between Dimension Shift and Phase Shift.
Impossible to kill your enemies, too, ha.



(Edit: Totally ignoring tolerance for phase, of course.)

If you're going for IOs, melee defense is easy for Elec/Elec. Titanium Coating for the armor toggles, Obliteration and Touch of Death for the melee attacks and you're set. Once you've drained the enemies of their endurance, their only attack will (usually) be some version of Brawl (which hurts a lot more compared to one given to players). Single targets you can usually pressure enough -Recovery to almost never have them attack once drained.

I think the combination of Radiation Emission and Dark Blast might better serve under the Defender flag for a variety of reasons:

- DoT powers and Scourge generally don't mix well (Unless we're talking about RoF or similar powers).

- Damage procs being the same for everyone, closing the gap with the Corruptor alongside with stronger -Res.

- Better market for übering up your character. Well, at least it's a faster process.

- Defender AT might get Developer love Soon™ enough.

- Access to a freaking godmode: (Force of Nature). Personally I just love these.


So, what can I expect of this tentacle-y combination of FoTM Radiation and darkness? I forecast good times with proc-cone attacks, healthy amounts of Controller envy and several piles of joy-soiled pants (Fallout, Veng, Mutation).


For the color scheme I was thinking of various soothing shades of blue. Blue is such a relaxing color, don't you agree?

My Kat/SR Stalker soloed his first AV (Aurora Borealis) at level 33, so it's very possible.

If at high level, Spiderlings from the Mace Mastery pool can become a major asset at taking down AV/Heroes: they do respectable damage like Fire Imps, but you can add procs such as the Achilles Heel -Res, or the damaging ones from DefDbf-sets. Having 3 brainless allies near you increases your Crit-chance from base 10% to 19%, too. Pretty neat, huh?

Not to mention that you can placate and rest during battle in case of exhaustion and injury. Having a reset button available every while is handy for controlling the flow of the battle. You might say it's cheating, but it's not.

It's just dirty.

Yup, you'll just have to stack enough Heat Loss icons to break through a Nuke's -1000% recovery debuff. To do that, however, you'll have to slot endmods, since each icon is +50% recovery at base, and the target cap is 10 (+1 which you emanate from yourself, so 11).

Base recovery is '100%', and Stamina, when slotted, is around 45-50%. In reality you'll only have to break through -850%ish recovery, which is counterable with just 9 Heat Loss icons with good slotting.

The sun got in my eye..!

Roll his dad, Ib Ern McAbel, a crazy fleshhungry Fire-something cyborg.

I can imagine a Fire/Emp Controller soloing an AV.

Time Bomb is a waste of code.

Oooooooh! Aaaaaaah!

This zone is too small for both of us!

I remember using Power Surge a lot during that mission. x8/+2.

I prefer "1 Brute 1 Kinetics".

I believe it's a fight between Ninja Blade and Dark Melee. Katana can produce better raw DPS by the usage of Achilles Heel proc and overall good DPA attacks, but Dark Melee's NE damage doesn't get resisted much anywhere, and has good attacks as well.

I'm leveling up a Nin/SR right now though, soloed my first AV (Aurora Borealis) at level 33. (when I got more slots to Golden Dragonfly)

Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit
