Please?

OK, I have a Bot/dark MM, and I'm trying to figure out what powers to go for in terms of wanting to play both PVP and PVE effectivly.
I want to get SJ as my travel power, preferably sooner than later.

I'm at level 9 at the moment, with the ability to choose my next power an upgrade to level 10 whenever I want.


Currently I don't have any attacks from either pool (but have crafted myself a hammer and pistol) so am completly dependant on my bot's wellbeing.

I have the first 3 powers from DM, Build and upgrade bot, and have Manuevers from leadership.


Manuevers provides +def to all, but i'm not sure how much defence it does.
Combat jumping is a +Def(all) for self, and if i'm not protected then the bots won't be much use.
Both Shadow fall and Grant invisibility have +def(all) and stealth, both of which I can see being usefull in both PvP and E
However, if I get jump kick, i'l at least have some self-defence other than running...

So, i'm wondering, how do they stack with each other, with and without slotting. How safe would I and my team be with different combinations, and which way would any of you suggest going?

Personally, I have a bunch of Lshift+ commands set up on mine.
Something like this;

(select one) LShift+ A(aggressive) S(passive) D(defensive)
(commands all) Lshift+ Z(aggressive) X(passive) C(defensive)

Then for movement;

(select one) Lshift+ Q(attack my target) W(goto) E(wait) R(wait and passive for saftey) F(follow me)


With that I have pretty good controll over all my pets, and it's alot easier to reach than the numpad.
I also have Macros to make all pets folow, all pets attack my target, allpets wait and all pets goto, and a have a macro to make one pet leave (on my Ctrl menu for saftey)



Also, for fun;
/bind p "em smack$$petsay <em slapreact>"
/macro music "petsayall <em drumdance>$$petsayname A <em drum>$$petsayname B <em drumlow>$$em drumdance"




On top of all the generic commands I have hand gesture emotes added for myself, such as pointing with goto, and stop for wait. Just adds to the character a bit.

On the whole, it probably takes longer to set up a good battle position than with the numpads, and I only have 3 bots to controll at the moment, but it's easier to code and has alot more control.

Gonna go to bed in a sec, but I *had* to draw something today;

First off, lemee introduce you to Red Goblin (union hero)



And this is the quick sketch of him I did about an hour ago:



And finaly, a very quickly coloured section of the picture:





2 things to note;
1) my scanner's temporarily bust, hence why I had to take photos
2) this is my first full 'lifelike' human in several years that hasn't been a still-life of a real person. Most of my work latly has been anime / own style (which explains the hair ^^)
This one is in order to get the proportions about right for a full body.

So, any CC (constructive crit) on the proportions is more than welcome.
I know the feet are odd, btw, I didn't spend much time on them =]

If I'm not busy I might pop along. Unfortunatly I havn't got a toon above level 16, and rez powers are kind of useless in PvP, arn't they?

Acctually, for the animation i'm doing rip-offs of other super heroes (spiderman, batman, superman and robocop) as representations of diffrent models of helping people. It's in a similar style, but I drew all the moving peices and am converting them into colourd flash art, then animating them in flash with voice overs.

Just a doodle of my character I sketched whilst doing my psychology homework (for which i'm doing an animated short of super heroes... it makes sence, trust me).
DarkDeamon (deamon isn't a spelling mistake; it's a dead hero or demoted God, and can also act as a type of guardian angel)

Right, I want to re-do one of theese pics from the game as a small art project, I can't decide which one... (I only have small pics 'cause I was originally gonna use them as avs)

I thought about something like that before. I really want it though XD
Put it in the suggestions forum! Naow!

At the moment i'm mostly on Union. My highest level is a defender, InfinitePulse, I don't play with him that often, but I think he's about level 16/17. Bier is my next highest at level 9, he's a healer psychic controller. Most used at the moment is a blaster, but he's not much of a good character yet...

Just wondering;

Dose anyone use arena?
If so, when are the best times to go, for which levels?

I have mercs, they're quite good but not exactly what I figured they would be. They don't fit the feel of the game visually, and it's hard to consider them bad, but it's easy to look past after a while.

Personally i'd love to be able to make custom costume'd lackies...
