lol cant believe we are actually gonna do this

I can't wait, we've been wanting to do this for a while now!

Why bother? Captain Freon will steal all your HO's anyway :P

Dirty Blasters.

Few things I'd personally change about slotting.

Absorb Pain, 1 recharge 3 heal if you want to 4 slot that. Hopefully you won't need to spam it and the third heal helps with Tankers imo.

Hover, Fly Speed and not EndRdx. More than one if you can spare them. Bringing me on to...

Fly. Since the end use changes, i'd probably only go 1 EndRdx in it these days, but, depends how much you spam your powers with Fly on.

Fort I'd probably go 3rech 3def, the ToHit is pretty sexy out the box.

Aside from the few slots I'd change it looks like a pretty sweet PvE build you've got there!

(And you'll love TK blast!)

I'll be there for the one on the 8th, but probably not the 2nd. It being my birthday and stuff.

Personally, I've found my mind/empath to be a totally dedicated team support build. I can heal, I can get dead members up and running again, I can reduce their incomming damage quite drastically (both via control and team buffs) and I can also inflict some quite reasonable damage.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ill/Emp and Grav/Emp can team support just as easily whilst controlling. Mind is great, but the lack of soft control can be an issue in a pick up team. Sleeps can be hinky, and immob+disorient or AoE Fear or Decoys are a bit more reliable imo and I know which primary I'd want vs an AV or GM. Grav or Illusion.

[ QUOTE ]
What more does team support need? I think the most telling aspect is only ONE of my powers goes unused for any length of time, Clear Mind, and that's only because 9 times out of 10 it's best applied as a "heal" rather than a buff.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, because I like all my toggles dropping. Keep you team buffed stops the Mez effect, which is SO much better in the long run. It keeps your team going without a pause when they get Held/Slept/Disorient'd etc... That's like saying something like Regen aura is best used near the end of an AV fight when people are low on health, where it can be used to keep everyone at full health for the entire fight.

Ugh, be pro-active with buffs people, not reactive. It's so much better!

On a side note, I noticed you can rotate the Portal to change the direction it throws you out. No more facing the wall for me!

I just wish there was a visual indication of the rotating. :\

Nice one FG!

Hammer's the man, the base editor however, is most certainly not.

[ QUOTE ]
I moved the plot under it. Click on same size plot in upgrade plot mode and reposition. Might not be suitable for your problem but it worked for mine.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sadly it won't.

@Hammer: Yeah, about to try that. It's a bit silly though, mind you, the whole base thing is smacktarded at times. That freaking base continuity thing does my head in, I get why it shouldn't be allowed to leave a room floating, but while editing it's freaking annoying!

Well, basically, I'm trying to move the base entrance room around to the other side of a decorative room. The editor says it should allow it, IE; it turns the room Blue. There's no decorative items blocking it etc... and both rooms are on the same floor level.

But, every time I click, it won't take. I've tried re-logging, different toons, removing all decorative stoofz...

It's gotten to the point where if I want to expand the base I'd have to complete redesign most of it, whereas if I could swing this entrance to the side it'd free up enough room to make the changes I want to. Any help?

[ QUOTE ]
I think I'd be tempted to drop one or two of those accuracies and slot recharge.

[/ QUOTE ]
I may put a Range in TK Blast as well.

Oh, and for PvP Acro really, really helps a support toon. Hell, I won't PvE without it on a support toon either, nothing sucks more than being on your [censored] when you should be healing/buffing/debuffing/em dancing.

[ QUOTE ]
From what i understand we are meeting in PD Arena and thats where from my experience they have come from. Every match.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh sweet, they named an Arena after my SG!

Couldn't resist, still, interesting idea... may think of entering with a toon, not really sure what though. =\

While I agree in theory, no. It would make building a base for PvP a nightmare, moreso than it already is.

Either give us an option to have sections of the base that aren't accesible in a raid (decorative only) or give us personal bases (which may work, but kinda defeat the purpose).

Take Regen Aura.

Told you the lag was bad

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh, it can't have been lag, the PA's dissapeared before the Brawl Phase started.

@SW: See, that's brilliant!

[ QUOTE ]
All the one-hit wonders had left - there were only decoys that I could see

[/ QUOTE ]

Funny that, because there was just the Tank Team left.

Yeah, are we still a go for this Friday?

Congratulations Defiant, woop woop!

The Paragon Defenders (and two Monkeys) are (probably) in!

OK, this is basically the build I respec'd in to when Issue7 hit.

Because you'd be levelling with this Blaster and this builds AoE damage is a bit lame until 38, I'd probably take Fire Breath earlier, put Stamina off until 24 maybe, and pick up Chilling Embrace later, basically just knock everything back a level or two for it apart from Inferno.

Fire/'s main strength is raw damage, you shouldn't really need something like Aid Self as you'll hopefully be flattening mobs fairly quick, especially once they Buff/Tweak Fire/*.

Hope it helps give you an idea on what to take.

yeah, but if it's not a toggle, it can't be dropped in PvP.

You do realize that you can just buy some Resistance Insps to combat this right? You head out the zone, stack up on some Oranges and you'll have no more problems.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats dealing with the consequence, not the problem and counter productive.

Almost tantamount with America's - To avoid being attacked by terrorists we'll go to war with a country where they happen to be based!

(EDIT: In my opinion )

[/ QUOTE ]

It's an easy way to stop the teleporter 'porting the 'portee. Just as a lot of Purplies, or moving just that little bit further away from the base is.

The Dev's have said that 'porting people in to drones/mobs isn't technically griefing, and they're unlikely to change their standpoint on that.

Whilst I do find the tactic questionable myself (the offender was obviously doing it maliciously) there's not much you can do other than Insp up, move away or go to the Arena.

I've just had to remove a fair chunk of this thread.

Please don't hijack threads where people are tring to organise a play session to express your opinions about the style of play they are organising.

If you genuinely feel that the dozens of previous threads discussing people's opinions and feelings about power levelling haven't covered the subject completely enough, feel free to start a new thread about the subject.

Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ]

would've thought NCsoft and cryptic would hate P/L since it leads to a bunch of other things that can damage an MMO badly (selling accounts and organised farming)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, because them having an Official Powerlevelling Thread in the states suggests that.

Paying for it is bad, it going on is basically unavoidable.
