Garadhir

Would I be able to participate? Or is this one of this uber hero group thingies?

Yay! I see me in the vid! =D

cool! cheers for quick response. i have paintshop pro, will play around with it and see what i get

just looking at your avatar maximillion, I'm wanting to make one like it (but with my heroes of course).

how do you get it to change images...also how do i get it onto the forums?

wow another sg 50!

congrats golden on your first!

Welcome back Captain Solaris!

Heard great things about you despite not even having met you yet

Seeing your heroes in the SG, coupled with an abundance of uni stuff to do, I guess you like to play hard and work hard!

Catch you on sometime!

Most important thing is if you like teaming, people like having you onboard as an empath/archery defender dont expect too much damage output soloing coming from a trick archery/archery defender (which rocks!) and an empath/psionic/psi defender (which rocks too).

i guess you're right in regards to damage. cheers for all the comments, its been very helpful . although he's failed to be offensive as i originally intended him to be, he's a enjoyable dude to play and will continue with empathy/archery ^^

Hell if i wanted an elven character it would be trick archery/archery

i always felt elves we're magical beings. with trick arrow and archery it would strongly emphasize the generic elven bow user...but i don't see an emp arrow being magical, feels a bit more advanced and techie to me.

looking for other later nighters
=================================

due to crazy work hours, was just seeing if there's any other guild members that game late evenings.

if so would love to team with you!

Cheers for the responses, some very helpful.

Most possibly better offender as kinetic defender. Not really going for an uber build, I'd like to keep him as elf like as possible.

Power mastery would be good in regards to making him offensice, however I felt Psychic Mastery was more forthcoming for an elf.

As it stands, I'll definately keep him as Emapthy/Archery with Psychic Mastery.

Primaries I'm still in two minds in taking Clear Mind and Regen Aura...if I do take them I would have to sacrifice a pool power for sure.

I forgot to add Blazing Arrow to my list of 2ndry selections, but as it stand wll most likely go for those 6 powers. (SnapShot/ FistfulofArrows/ Aim/ BlazingArrow/ Ranged Shot/ Rain of Arrows).

Will definately take on Fitness & Leadership. Think I'll take Unthing's suggestion of having Assault instead of Maneuvers to help boost my damage.

Travel power, most likely teleportation.

Would like to take Concealment, but may be sacrificed to compensate for CMind and RegenAura.

I'm wanting to make Garadhir into an Empath/Archery offensive defender.

I would like him to be capable of good damage, however be able to competantly defend as well. Also he'll most definately be a PvE'ing hero.

I'd like to take as many 2ndry and pool powers as possible, this would mean sacrificing a number of powers from the Empathy pool.

Here's my thoughtsa on which Primaries to leave out...
Absorb Pain: bit of a situational power, only used in a last ditch effort to save a team mate.
Clear Mind: becomes redundant in the latter levels due to number of ATs having status protection powers from lvl20.
Regeneration Power: not as essential as Recovery Aura expecially when both Aura and Other slotted with 3 RchgReducs & 3 Health enhancements power.


As for the Archery Set am thinking of selecting the following...
Snap Shot: have no option to leave out as it is already pre-selected.
Fistful of Arrows: although a little less damage then Aimed Shot, taken for multiple mob hits.
Aim: increased acc and dmg...nuff said. :P
Ranged Shot: despite the interruption, am wanting this for the extreme damage.
Rain of Arrows: extreme damage AoE/DoT...no endurance crash unlike other lvl38 2ndry def powers.

As for the Power Pools & Ancillary, most like going for...

Fitness: going to take a maximum of 3 powers from here. Stamina is a certainty, however which powers would be ideal to get in this pool
- Swift or Hurdle: may get both so can maneuver around the map a lot easier
- Health: improved health recovery not as essential, however heard this gives better recovery to mez affects...ideal as I don't intend to take Acrobatics.
- Stamina: important with most if not all ATs

Teleportation: most likely take recall friend (I find very handy in PvE) and teleport (travel power)

Leadership: powers to suit my hero's bio. Most like take Maneveurs and Tactics. Possibly take Vengence if I don't take another ppower pool.

Invisibility: although not a definate pool to take, would probably take grant invisibility and invisibility for PvE missions.

Psychic Mastery: would like to take at least 3 if not all from this area, although which three is debateable.

That's about it so far...some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Build so far...

If i had a Peacebringer, I'd put some considerable thought on my alien forms.

Way I see it is that Peacebringer's ARE aliens...the human form was only adopted when they arrived to this planet, therefore should be the most unstable form out of the three.

I am starting a Rad/Rad Corr and on the power description for Cosmic burst it says extreme damage but looking through the forums and guides its BI index is only 5.8889 and Bitter Ice Blast is 6.3334 which is suppose to be superior damage. Is it simply the description for the power is wrong? Can anyone with CB as a Rad Corr advise on the damage - is it really extreme!

Thanks for help

Cosmic Blast is a secondary power for defenders. Defender's blast secondaries are weaker compared to that of Blaster's blast primaries.

Likewise the Radiation Secondaries for a Controller aren't as powerful as those of a real Radiation Defender.

[edit]...oops ignore me, thought this was the defender's section

ps: villains smell :P

hey krunch...i tried asking invite this morning via global chat and got invited pretty much straight away ^^

Yay! i'll pop on now and see if you're in ^^

having played a monk in guild wars i was looking for a hero to have similar abilities.

came across the empathy build and am having a great time.

i've chosen empathy/archery. it suits me to a t as i'm able to heal ppl from distance and also provide covering fire. it also suits my biography perfectly being archery.

i orignally tried it with psi blast and energy blast. i found that psi took too long to complete, where as energy felt as if i was missing quite a lot of times.

i'm looking forward to working my way through the levels and exploring the archery set a bit more.

hi! i'm new to the game, however am experienced with a number of mmorpgs including guild wars and star wars galaxies. i have some friends already who play city of heroes and have recommended me to the guild.

i only play one hero, Garadhir Greenshield, but if anyone is able to invite my new hero to the sg i would be over the moon!
