Best make a character now then
I take hours to make a toon
EDIT: just noticed the date, still happy to make a new toon to help you get the badge if your still there

cool I'll think I'll take scotlands advice and see how high I can get Ghost detective, who knows.. at this rate I might accidently overlevel Frank! okay thx for the advice guys!

Ookay I'm in a real pickle I'm giving my main hero Firefighter Frank a break and figured I might have a go on villains (Firefightin's a full time job! You gotta have a break at somepoint! ) sooo now I'm having trouble deciding between a Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu stalker or a Thugs/Dark Mastermind both which I enjoy mastermind I find quickest to level but Stalker is just way too much fun and its different from what I'm used too as well! sooo any one can give me any recommandations on both AT's please?

depends really on what you find most fun with really, I my self love my Fire/Rad Controller! but quite slow on leveling imo
so Fire/Kin would probably do best! (plus it also has great pulling abilities!) not to mention you wont need stamina also having a travel power is optional too! Hmmm.... *starts thinking on making an Ill/kin Controller*

you mean AR gets quantum peices attached to there hardware now? thats awsome!!

Hmm thats an interesting powerset Ice/Dev never really thought about that... and about the PB stuff no its not a trick question... (or is it? )
as I said I'm just not much of a fan for PB's (WS lover here! ) and I was just curious if you just went all out blapper (Squid/Human) vs an Ice/energy who would win that one?! y'know?!

yeah I was thinking of a sonic/energy blapper of somesort would be quite interesting to see...
EDIT: Also curious to know does the Ice/energy blapper do more damage than a PB? as i'm not too fond of them (hence why i'm addicted to nictus!)

hey guys I really want to make a blaster but I cant seem to make up my mind on what to make! I also seem to be having trouble even picking the origin for this toon! so can any one give me any idea's? I quite like the Ice/Fire and Ice/Energy blappers there fun to play! My first lvl 50 toon on the US was a Fire/Fire/Fire Blaster was muchos fun!
Any suggestions is grateful! (prefably something new and uncommon and something not many would think off if you would please like uum Sonic/Energy? )
*goes back to playing his stalker*

Hey, decided to try something different from the casual controller/blaster my last controller I made was an Illusion/Storm it was fun till I got to lvl 6 and headed to the hollows till I realised the lack of controlling ability at lower levels... so I decided what the hell lets make a storm/energy defender!! and so far already in hollows ok few set backs but hey still pretty fun toon to play! however, I cant seem to find that many guides/builds for a storm/energy defender!! either that or I'm too lazy to look!
thx for the help!

cool! atleas I met someone thats forum famous! I thought it was you Zortel just you never mentioned yer name
and shadow I didnt realise we had a younger version of Stan Lee in the building!! why didnt yah come say hi? as my T-shirt stated I was being Aggro'd most of the time!! maybe nxt time i should come in my spandex? maybe people will notice me then?

EDIT: woops were sort of going off topic here a bit arne't we?

Cool Idea shadow,
btw Zortel that art looks amazing!
Dont suppose it was you who I met down in the basement at the Brighton meet were we spoke breifly was it?

I would like to get my main drawn aswell, however alas; I'm only good at drawing half faces for some strange reason... everything else I suck!
here's a few images of my main...

http://i15.tinypic.com/2j2dw2e.jpg <- in this shot my wings are black and yellow since I didnt like the color blending to well I switched to just pure black... goes quite nice with my cozzie

hey I just remade my next firefighter toon into an Illusion/Storm Controller
and Decieve is an all out fun power to use!
I had this theory that you could still possibly get exp if you use spectral wounds and then get the other guys to finish the guy off! it actually works pretty well! dagnamit why didnt I pick this powerset when I made Frank?
oh right fire imps

just made a ice/fire blaster, and I'm enjoyin her quite well just wanted to check to see my build I have planned for her is ok...

uuuh just a minor note I was more of planning to make this more of a PvE build? since theres no Capture the Flag events in CoH yet (I'm still hoping the kind devs will make us some!) I dont do PvP so I'm more looking for PvE advice
imo bonfire ever since its animation and power changes it means nothing to me, before it was like a brother almost to Ice Controllers ^^ so the choice narrows it down to either Smoke or Ring of Fire since I already tried out smoke when I was in the lower levels having an single target imob might be kinda handy... so now it just narrows it down to either Smoke or Ring of Fire

Any advice/comments are appreciated

just tried it out on test, it doesn't work with pets which is a damn shame as I would just love to fling my fire imps corpse at the enemie after doing something stupid
soo probably gonna change that to Choking Cloud

Panic buttons most defiantly besides I'm now thinking on reconstructing my build some powers I hardly use that much any more these days... say does Fallout work with pets? ^^ or is it player only =/

according to my hero planner Hasten and AM should make it recharge as quickly as Fireball

and thanks for the suggestion of Earth Mastery Spirit however even though I'm sure you could probably fit in with my Characters uuh background(?) (Firefighter Frank the Fire/Rad/Earth controller doesnt go too well thx for the suggestion though I'll probably get firefighter to 44 that way atleast then I can do the Respec TF and get a second respec and have 2 powers to try out on test)
But atm Ice is still looking cooler to me hellooo! panic button Hibernation!

[ QUOTE ]

Ice Storm - huge AoE power (have to target the ground to execute), Auto-hit in both PvE and PvP, some ppl will say that the damage is low but they usually only look at one foe at a time, being such a large AoE it does good damage and even if the enemie wasnt in the AoE when you pulled it off it will hit them if they enter the area. (Great as a way to unbalance the Regen of EB's/AV's)

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah I was thinking since controllers get Containment wouldn't the Ice Storm do more damamage any ways and in larger range than Fireball?
For example; Fire Cages + Ice Storm + Containment + Fire Imps = Moderate AoE Dots?

I have done and I much very like the Ice Mastery more than I do Fire Mastery I'm just thinking if its worth wasting a respec just to get rid of one unslotted power...

Hey would it be worth using my veteran respec to switch from fire mastery to ice? or wait till I get my second fire epic power, because I'm just thinking... with consume it requires foes and has a chance of missing and only recovers endurance which is a good thing but then theres also hibernation, a cooler version of Rest and provides invulnerability for 30 seconds, you also get the 2 defense shields from both epics Fire Shield and Frozen Armour and finally fire mastery has 2 fire blast whilst ice has one blast but one AoE Ice Storm which in someways similar to Fireball imo Ice Mastery would be the better option here for a fire/rad controller such as my self...
Long Story short: is it worth respecing out just one power with my vet respec just so I can switch Epic Power pools? Or should I wait till I get my next power?

lol welcome back and I know what you mean I'm still tempted to go back to WoW just to try out BC I'm just worried I might get hooked on it again o.O
damn yoouuu World of Warcrack!!!

check out my current build I got going for my WS

I just think its a cool looking power might come in handy when nebulous forms runs out
