Could I bring my claws / regen scrapper level 40 (Jason-Lee)?

AFAIK the minimum level is 44

Start time 7pm, though that can be changed around if there is a need.

Cool!

List so far

Halek

Having a second job in a bar sucks for COx as I am working at the best times for gaming. Not so this Friday as all the bars in Ireland shut their doors for one full day of religious abstinence. I want to run a TF on Friday evening to celebrate the time I have been given, ideally with Halek (44 nrg/fire ) and I am open to all suggestions, though I am thinking that the Second Shadow Shard might work best as the Quarterfield TF was done recently. Any takers?

I am pretty busy alright, maybe next week either Wed night (9:30pm start is the earliest I can do so might be too late) or Early friday evening like 5:30 or so?

I have her as a contact and I am up for doing the TF with my level 34 Grav/Rad, just need to figure out a time that suits, suggest a couple times and I'll check them out.

put me down for it so Cha if you don't mind Halek 44 nrg/fire blaster and I will try and get a couple hours extra to finish it

How long does this one last? I am up fo rit with Halek level 44 Energy/Fire , but I need to leave about 20 to 10 or so

Still looking for spelunker for my blaster for the longest time. Anyone have it?
What story arc serves it up?

One tactic that did yield some returns for me on my Energy/Fire blaster was Ring of Fire to immobilise, run in and drop burn underneath them then back off and start blasting again while they slowly cook.

Slotting hot feet helps turn them away so you can blast as they (slowly) run out of range, particularlu useful against those R2-D2 nemesis rip-offs, but as posted above gets you killed quite a bit.

does it let you know when you have got containment or does it just implicitly up the damage? I have just started using a controller and have trouble figuring out if I have containment or not.

I have played an Energy/ Fire blaster since I got started and I love him, but if I could go back and do it again I wouldn't choose those sets in a million years!

Build Up, Aim then Nova takes out even level toons if its well slotted for accuracy pretty well, but the recharge time means you are never going to farm much xp that way. My best advice to you is get in a big team!

If you insist in soloing then make sure you have haste, that will help with bigger mobs. Using things like BU+Aim+Snipe to get a head start on the Boss, then working down to easier enemies, but they have to be small mobs due to your squishiness. You should be good at using Knockback to keep enemies off their feet at this stage so make sure and use that, if someone his hurting you in Melee Range then use Power Push followed by Ring of Fire to take him out of range and hold him while you deal with others first. Enemies that are hurting you at longer range you need to focus on until they are outta there.

Energy Torrent will buy you time if you are eating damage from a variety of foes, one slot it for knockback and you will take all affected off their feet, again if it is not a smallish mob the aggro of this will kill ya!

Cheers mate getting wormhole asap. I make my Patch of Death extra spicy with snowstorm, crushing field , freezing rain and grav distortion, when everyone is held, or someone tries to get away I gale them all back in.

You guys are arguing more than helping whats up with that?

My grav/storm controller is very squishee but when he does work he works ver well. Just make sure you're on a competent team and you'll do well. If you're getting bored then just play him for short intervals

My grav storm is Circadian and I was wondering about slotting. Also what i want is a hero who can immobilise a big group and then chip away over time while teammates finish off. I'm about to respec, any advice?

I'm going to have to call this off, my broadband is down and probably won't be back up in time to play it. I had to go to an internet cafe to post this!

Apologies to everyone who had signed up, but once I get back online I will be looking to recruit again as Halek badly needs it!

That's great! Let me know either way

I should probably mention that I will be doing it with Halek! 42 Energy/Fire

Can anyone interested in doing the second respec on Sunday evening give me a holla here please!
Level range is 34-43, though I don't care if anyone wants to exemp to it.
We will meet at Captain James Harlan in Founder's at about 17:30.

Do you need to be level 50 to get in on this, I have a level 42 Blaster and I'd like to try it out.

Stick me down for it, if you still have space - Halek lvl 41 blaster

I'll email in-game as well but I am up for the sewer trial saturday if there are spaces left.

here is a plan of a tanker SS/Inv that I have up to lvl 20 at the minute and plays very well as a taunty tank. I have built the remaining to allow maximum tauntage in a team.

Bad tanking is a nightmare for sure. I have to agree that you really need the star to get anything done, aggressive kicking seems to be the best way to keep everyone alive too.
I spent two har dmissions where I didn't have the star working with (around really) a tanker who only wished to Ghost missions even though she was side-kicked with a -5 scrapper! He face planted twice in each mish despite my constant questioning of "where are you going?" and "you DO know you are sidekicked don't you!"

If you are playing an empath as primarily support then you can ignore Combat Jumping as for the defence bonus it gives it isn't worth it considering you will rarely be drawing aggro (fingers crossed!).
Why do you have two travel powers? Haste is a must for any empath build for when the chips are realyl down, so Haste, Super Speed is plenty, leave Air Superiority and Fly out entirely.
Why don't you download hero builder and export your build, its easier to give advie that way.
My empath uses leadership, I thnk they are an invaluable pool for team support.

mine is very like the first one mentioned on this thread - "I'm about to go NOVA! Anyone got a wakey?"
the funny thing is though nobody gets it - the groups I am playing that character with always ask what I mean or the best one guys goes "I have an awaken but I think its Catch a Breath you'll need after nova!" :S
