How is I5 going to change this guide? (besides adding new powers of course)

Just wondering if there are any changes to this guide with I5...

Well as you've probably read from the little guide I had...the powers you take kinda depend on what you plan to be. Do you plan to be in melee all the time (or near melee) or do you plan to hang back with the blasters/controllers and do ranged attacks? Both routes are plausible soo...

That's the problem.

When I solo I tend to be in melee. Need to be close for heals and I use irradate to quickly take down minions.

When in a group someone is tanking (or scrapping) I'll hang back and cast heals on the melees and use neutrino and other distant attacks/buffs from afar.

So I need my build to work well in both situations.

Nice!

I'll rework mine based on some of your suggestions.

I was playing with taking recall friend/teleport instead of hover/fly but then I remembered I wanted hover for the knockback protection. D'oh.

Oh well, you can't have it all I guess!

Still going to play with the pools and see what I can come up with.

Currently I'm at lvl 8 and took hover but of course a respec is coming up soon so luckily I'll have a chance to redo my choices and not have to wait until lvl 24.

Is it worth getting repel that late? Seems to me it would help more early on.

Why hurdle instead of health? I find I need to heal more than jump! Especially with IR at 18.

Do you find you need hasten or does siphon speed do the trick if you put a bunch of recharges in it?

Thanks for all the help and the great guide!

EDIT: Just realized I got the threads mixed up. Had posted a more recent template on the Defender boards here .

Will post an update shortly though. THANKS!

This is the build I am fooling with. Only up to level 6 currently so I have some time.

This includes some of the powers I love to have (fly, phase shift) though I don't take them until later when I'll need them most. A couple slots free at this point BUT I haven't put in increase density or speed boost yet. Can't figure out where to put them and when I'll need them most. I play both solo and group. I wanted some extra attacks early on for solo but I know I need to get boost and density in too... HELP!

I also want to squeeze repel in if I can drop something else. I just think it is fun as hell and a great pin or emergency escape power. Hmmmm.

I'm playing around with a Kin/Rad and loving it. Had messed with it once before but I understand it a lot better from this guide and the replies.

THANKS!

One thing I seem to recall was that siphon speed also speed up hover so that you could get a decent fly speed. Is this correct? It was a while back that I tried this kind of character...

Based on the guide, comments from other people and just knowing some of the power pools I like to have this is what I am looking at respecing to at level 32:

01 : Chilblain Empty(01)
01 : Ice Bolt Empty(01)
02 : Ice Blast Empty(02)
04 : Frost Breath Empty(04)
06 : Hover Empty(06)
08 : Aim Empty(08)
10 : Hasten Empty(10)
12 : Freeze Ray Empty(12)
14 : Super Speed Empty(14)
16 : Hurdle Empty(16)
18 : Health Empty(18)
20 : Stamina Empty(20)
22 : Bitter Ice Blast Empty(22)
24 : Stealth Empty(24)
26 : Bitter Freeze Ray Empty(26)
28 : Build Up Empty(28)
30 : Ice Storm Empty(30)
32 : Blizzard Empty(32)

-------------------------------------------

01 : Brawl Empty(01)
01 : Sprint Empty(01)
02 : Rest Empty(02)

And then I'll take shiver, invisibility, phase shift, fly, ice patch and ice sword.

This should be something I can be happy with at 32 and I'll get the other stuff I want later.
