Upon hearing the conclusion of the alert, Caleb reached over to give his multi-gun an affectionate pat on its accelerant tank.

"Mutated alien freaks or not, they're not bulletproof," he rumbled with a faint smirk, thinking back to the last Lost he introduced to a little full-auto fun. Then, grabbing the weapon by the pistol-grip on its assault rifle portion, he wheeled around to take aim at a ficticious foe. "Bang!" he exclaimed, dry-firing the rifle. "You're dead."

Definetly some good stuff in the FAQ, but also some things you mentioned I think might be a tad in-accurate.

Helping folks focus on the bttle in different aspects helps tactics overall. For the healer his/her focus is on the players themselves. Good coomunication is paramount to succesful missions overall. As the Healer in my groups I am often playing Quarterback; clear mind folks as they get dazed & confused and keeping Fort and Clear on tanks for pulls etc. to keep thigns rolling on an even keel. As a healer you are alot of times the person who can turn the tide or let everyoen fall based on your reactions and skills. The skill level and toon level of the healer/player can alot of times make the difference between success and total wipe-outs.

Controller Empaths - Good support Healer class and great for CC when they have loaded it up with enahncements. Crowd control is great esp using liek a Root/Burn combo - makes thigns really nice and easy. Healing is usually kept to a minimum and the Controller limited endurance can usually handle most small group needs. The Controller empath will always heal for about 1/3 less though as it's a secondary power list. This can be a great drain on enduarance even more so than normal if you going the healer route.

Defender Empath - Has the best Power to healing ratio in the game. Primary powerset gives them additional healing prowess and the enhanced defense of the Defender also gives him a nice bonus for broken pulls and having to step up and take a hit in order to save a teamate.

Endurance management - Early levels this is more important and where you will find the best useage of Absorb Pain. The low end cost and high healing amount make this a must have in the healing stable. I toiok this even before ehal other as it's amount is double and the end useage is 1/10th the amount.

Powers : Recovery Aura - is one of the best keys to managing yoru endurance in big battles. After the first few moments in afight as folsk get to about half or lower in endurance pop this baby on and watch the juice begin to flow. It's short radisu so try to keep your people in range to begin with. But once they have the aura on they can move out freely and will be regen Endurance and a super high rate. This is great for those real tough long encounters.

Adrenaline boost - A great thing for doing right before your big battles - stick it on yoru big tank or scrappers and let the mgo to town! Neat little trick of the trade to avoid the nasty disorients from this and other liek powers - Pop a Discipline Inspiration - works just liek clear mind and will keep you from having the side effects.
Power Pools:
Since the limit is 4 in game per archetype your healer is goign to have to take a few just to be effective right off the bat. This may be a little limiting for some folks, but in the end it will make the most difference.

My picks:

1 - Recall Friend - this is your only option for retrieving corpses in the heat of battle. Also has a secondary benfit for pulling using TP tank aggro tactics.

2 - Hasten - When thigns get bad and you gotta put on your game face, Hasten is hands down you r best friend. Allowing you to heal at 2-3 times your normal rate it's great for those big battles right when things get started.

3 - Concealment - The stealth and invis skills are a great compliment to the healer and helps assure him he is out of the line of fire. The defense bonuses of Stealth combined with Defender's natural defense is a great combination.

4 - Leadership - as the ultimate support class this give you instant buffs to the entire party. When mutliple team members have it the effects stack for even greater bonuses. Combined with your bread & butter buffs Fortitude and Clear mind - this combo is lethal on a tanker and makes him nigh indestructable.

5 - Fitness : a great combo for the Controll Empath who will need the extra health and endurance regen.


Just a few notes - hope it helps and hope to see some more great healers in game!

Good afternoon, heroes. This is an open broad-spectrum communication from Crisis One to those who may be concerned:

In my recent explorations of the city, I have discovered more than a passing reference to the source of the Lost contamination and their connection to the Rikti. Evidence is presented below. Please, be on your guard when facing these menaces, and should you come across any further information regarding either group of entites, feel free to share it with those of us concerned about their potential threat.

In terms of the connection:

- In the recent Outbreak in one of the residential blocks of Paragon City, several of the detectives make reference to a Rikti drug being given to the rioters in error. Though a cure has been formulated due to the actions of the heroes involved in quelling the riots, the original source of the drug is unknown.

- Though weak, the rioters exhibited several signs of contamination similar to those exhibited by the Lost: slight physical manefestation, psychosis, feelings of invulnerability, and strength enough to damage even the hardiest power armor (as I can well attest).

- Note the glowing green eyes of the rioters, and compare them to some of the more brutish specimines of the Lost.

Knowing that the source of this contamination was Rikti, and given the obvious similarities between the Rioters and the Lost, and, too - given the Lost's propensity for use and a seemingly inexhaustable supply of Rikti armament, I suspect the connection between the two groups may run deeper than is first apparent.

Be on your guard, and vigilant. The threat may be more than you currently suppose.


Crisis One, out.

Excellent post my friend! Was wondering however what pool powers you would suggest for an empath?

I am a Quasi-Empath as I have 2 attack skills (that I do not use anymore ... lol) I chose LEADERSHIP to get the defensive and attack buffs. I am now persuing FITNESS to get to the Endurance buff at 20.

I would appreciate any suggestions in this matter?!?!!?

Dude, this guy is totally hopped up on barbituates. He's like frostbite on the fingertips of madness. Whoa....A good RP point, though.

The_X_Killer: Love the avatar.

This doesn't seem physically possible!

Yes, I really really reallly want a sidekick. I am almost to level 8 so should not be long. Just tell me when youll be on so we can meet.

Alright, i am going to have to create a char on that server. When i do i will look you up to hook up and post my info on this site, when you get to lvl 10 i can be your sidekick or we can start a SG.

Yes. Good idea. I have been looking for the same idea. I play on the protector server with my charcter Micheal Drum.(read my background on this fourm!) I am a level 7 scrapper. Just put in your charcter name so I cna hook pu wit you when you get on. One thing I hate is when you try to play on soem story and people are like what are you talkign bout. And I will say dude I am rping thats what this game is about. Killing the same guys the same ways gets old you need story to drive it.

The story I am about to tell you is the story of a hero. But this is hero isent like other heroes. He has no super powers. No super speed, no control of fire or ice, hes not even able to fly, and he doesnt have super strength even though most of his friends will tell you different. To understand this man you have to go back 21 years ago when all this pain that he carries started.... Micheal Drum was an average man that worked and had a loving family. His wife's name was Maria and his 8 year old son's name was Dylan. Micheal and his family always sat down for dinner, went on family vacations, and spent lots of family time togather. One night that all changed. Micheal was asked to work on his birthday, which happened to be the 28th of april. He was finishing up at his office when he heard loud gun fire erupting from the parking lot of the office building. This wasent unusal because the area was known to have gangs and criminals. But this was different, there were at least 20-30 shots fired. Mike thought to himself that it must be a gang war. Slowly looking out the window he noticed his car sitting untouched. But then to Micheals horror he saw the most uttering, shocking, and emotional thing in his life. His family laid sprawled out on the ground his wifes car sitting next to his with the drivers door still opened. He ran as fas as he could down the 6 flights of steps. Running to his family. When he entered the parking lot all the gang members were gone. He then realized that his family had been caught in a gand war. They must of been tryign to suprise him for his birthday. He started to cry when he seen his son layign on the ground with bullets filling his little fraglie body. Micheal dident cry much but he couldent stop he knew they were both dead. The next couple months for Mike were very hard. Micheal wanted revenge, he wanted the people ot pay that killed his family. The police told him they had done everythign they could. Mike then began gathering information on the every single man that was involved in the shooting. He then began hunting them down one by one killing them with his bare hands. He broke there necks. He then was then down to 2 gang members left. One that was called little scar, and the other was the leader of the bloods. His name was Damien. So Mike decided to save Damien for last. He found out where Little Scar lived and entered his house at night. He found the kids bed room and grabbed the kid form his bed when he looked at the kids face he noticed that Little Scar was only very young probably only about 15. He dident want to hurt a little kid but then suddenly the pain of that night his birthday flashed back. He flipped the kid upside down and hung him out his 2nd story window. Little scar sreamed and told Miek how sorry he was. Mike let the kids legs go and he plumited to his death. Last but not least Mike went after Damien. Damien had at least 20 gaurds. Mike mowed through them one by one killing them all with sheer force. Damien was hiding in his room locked behind the door. Mike kicked in the door and was hit twice with a handgun but he kept coming at Damien. Damien tried to run but Mike grabbed him by his head lifted him inot the air and throw him almost through the wall. Damien pulled out a large knife so Mike grabbed a lead pipe from the floor. Mike was cut a few times with that knife but he only hit Damien once with the lead pipe and Damiens head exploded. Mike for once since the incident felt releaved. He then made his mind to wipe the streets of scum and evil once and for all. Once the police hunted him down he was only convicted of 2 murders. He spent 20 years behind bars. In jail he trained with his cell partner who was a martial arts expert. Mike worked ever day to make his body a leathal weapon. Once he got out of jail the police thought it would be a good idea to leave town because the bloods and the crypts were both looking for him. Mike left and when he saw the newspapaer for Paragon city claming "Hero's Wanted!" he headed to Paragon city....

The night was quiet and cool as the normal city noises echoed through alleys all over. A cat was heard down one ally, followed by a trash can falling over. Car horns and sirens sounded from around the streets and the occasional man yelling out his window... The nights were like all before, except for one thing...

Dark Avatar now sat perched upon a building instead of in his room, alone and happy, like he always had been. Donning a black leather suit he acquired, he was almost invisible by the shadows that fell around him. As he tried hard to hide his breath, it was obvious he was a bit nervous. Shutting his eyes, he thought of his father and gave a quick prayer for strength and speed. A local woman walked down the street that he had been watching, the shadows seemed to follow her as she went towards her home. "What are you doing out here, lady?" Jason said hastily under his breath as she turned down an even darker ally. He followed her across the top of the roof until the inevitable happened... three men jumped from the shadows, tearing at her clothing and pushing her back and forth. She let out a scream of fear as the men came.

It was time to act, and he knew. He lunged from the rooftop with a flip and landed on his left foot with his right leg extended to the side and his hand to the ground. Slowly, he raised his eyes to meet those of the three 'Skulls' gang members. A dark cloud of purple haze began to fill the air around him before he leapt forward and swung a fist at the man whose grasp now held the helpless woman. The man tripped backwards against a wall. Jason began to turn to find his next target as a bat hit him in the back, then another in the head; he hit the ground and spat blood, realizing the seriousness of what he had gotten into. With a quick roll backwards and a jump to his feet, Dark Avatar stood at attention again, fists ready and all foes ahead of him. He began to feel a speed that he had ever known when he went to attack; the flurry of punches and darkness that followed was a surprise to both the skulls and him. The man he had punched fell to the ground with a loud thud. The remaining skull ran forward speedily and swung violently. Jason dodged the hits and landed several punches at the enraged enemy. The fight ended quickly and Jason was out of breath. The rest, he thought, would be easy...

Regaining himself, he turned towards the almost naked woman who lay sprawled on the ground, cloths ripped from the attackers. She breathed hard and nervously as the man clad in dark leather and buckles advanced towards her… his mask like a dark skull across his face. She held her arms across her self in an attempt to hide her body. The man extended an arm to her and she screamed in fear. Jason was confused that the woman he just saved feared him just as much as she had the men in white. He opened his mouth to tell her that everything would be ok but the words would not come out, he knew what she felt like… Jason began to back away from her and gave a quick bow and a wink. With that he turned and ran, leaping onto a dumpster, and then a window seal, followed by a back flip onto the building behind him. He disappeared over the building's edge and the alley was silent. The woman stood and brushed her self off, cold from the air that surrounded her exposed body. Minutes later, Jason landed back in front of her, holding a pair of cloths that were a bit baggy on her. "Be safe." He whispered as he went back to his perch with haste.

The night would be long for the, now hero, that sat above the building. He watched the quiet streets and rotated buildings from time to time. In the morrow, he would report to the city hall and take his first mission as an official superhero. Sleep was out of the question, finding a safe place was hard enough. There were few fights in the night that followed, but knowing he had saved one was rewarding to Jason.

Juat let me take it Kate...give up, that was a clever trick you pulled, but you can't win again.

Will you cut this out, now look we're both helpless and there's a fight going on, do you want to get us both killed?

I can not die, I can find a new body..like that man right there, who looks like he's foolish enough to help us up.

Man? wh...

Kate lost her train of though as a feeling of great warmth and strength overcame her. She suddenly felt revived. With a great push she catches Zull off guard.

What what is this? how did..Nooooo don't put me back in there! I will make that Man pay for this!

Darkness lept from Kate's Hand towards Nevur, the form of a skull took shape and lept at him with evil intents. Nevur reacting quickly and the form broke upon the hastely constructed stone prison destroying it and knocking Nevur to the ground.

Kate concentrated and took the upper hand when Zull let down his defense in order to attack Nevur. She sent the spirit into the memories of her eairly childhood. That ought to keep him busy for awhile she thought to herself. She then got up to her feet and looked around for the man that gave her the strength to overcome the evil again. The very man it would seem she lashed out at for helping her.

"Are you ok?" she asked as she reached out her hand to help him up.

Thanks for reading it! Glad some of you enjoyed my story...

Hello, i am looking to join or start a small (5-10 players) RPing Team on any server. The reason i would like it to be of a smaller size is that i dont like going into battles with 10 people n the team, its just not fun and doesn't leace much room for RPing. Wha i would like is people who are semi-consistent players (few nights a week) that play mostly late night EST, around midnight. I am willing to join any server and make any char needed jst to get a good experience RPing in this game. I am tired of joining a group ust for them to say "let's so level and then do another mission for XP!" I hate the fact that i join a team, play with them one night, then have to find another group the next night, very un-superhero like. So if you have something lke this or wold like to join something like this let me know please.

Also, if you are a RPer of higher level and not in a group, i would love to try out the sidekick feature in the game, just let me know your char and his archetype so i can find a good RPing match for him.

Ok, I am having a problem now... I can not edit my posts so I can not put this in it's proper place and the story will be out of order. I may have to start a new thread to get them in the proper order again... if there is an admin that reads this can I get some assist please, I don't want to take up duplicate space with the same post.

Not a problem Steel. . .

Yes Cain is an Energy Projector (Blaster), however the character model used is a large male model. Where I stated he grew a few inches taller and wider was specific to how he looks later on in the story/ game.

Now, about not seeing his energy expulsion after he used it at the football field, if you continue to read yo ucan see that he is in a constant battle with himself to not use it as he doesn't want to kill anyone, and he knows without a doubt with his anger and rage focusing his powers he could kill anyone there.

The townsfolk is there because of the general rule of thumb. Individually society is afriad of confrontation. In a group or mob they feel more superior.

After reading back I noticed that a large section of the story is missing. I will have to edit it and put it in somehow. Sorry for the confusion. Most of that will clear up your questions.

<3 also means "teabagged or to teabag someone". A funny, but insulting term.

Hint: It involves a part of the male anatomy.
