I'll take you on alone, I don't need no stinkin friend!

*sob*

How on earth is this a nerf? Seems more like a fix to me. Are you just trying to create drama?

Um, no.

electron haze does most damage, then irradiate followed my neutron bomb.

And the animation time thing? takes an AGE for the projectile to form above your characters head. Where are you getting your info? Some hero planner?

Choking cloud is only really really good when you start laying down really heavy defence debuffs or have accuracy buffs (tactics). Apparently these help it hit mroe often and be way more effective. Also it needs a lots of slots - 3 endrdx 3hold - to be effective. Any less than that and it's pants. So basically, it's an all out thing; fully slot it and get powers that support it, like tactics, irradiate, neutron bomb and of course radiation infection (but you should have that anyway). If you're frequently on teams that steam through mobs without even blinking it won't help much.

Now, rad blast! If you want AoEs, be careful of electron haze and neutron bomb. Haze has a long animation (the same animation as dark miasma heal) and the cone is pretty thin so it's hard to hit many baddies; however damage is good! Neutron Bomb is pants, IMO. Long animation, pants damage, heavy end cost, long recharge. YUK. The effect is pretty cool tho

You don't have to try very hard! I'm am SO THERE! Yay for attention! If you could arrange for me to die when it' smy turn that would be even cooler.

Also, I totally didn't think a troller might not have a hold but I guess it's possible...

Please tell me there'll be a troller brawl phase again, that was class last time!

Fire breath is a long cone but I find it a bit thin and difficult to lose.

Since range enhancements are 20%, the end of a cone is 20% wider. The cone angle stays the same.

nah, it'd be more like

All the best tanks are either 4ft or 12ft. Inbetween is unacceptable!

Yeah, brutes can tank and maintain aggro from huge mobs, you just need a team with a corruptor who can heal or buff you to the heavens. Honestly, Chealseas advice on this is totally and utterly wrong, if you're on a team and not working as a team then that team is screwed! Find another! Learn to rely on other people to do their job as other people do on you. I'd be pretty [censored] if fighitng an AV and the squishies had aggro the can't handle when there's a brute on the team.
And lightning field is TOTALLY AWESOME! When you've got big fury the mobs just melt away It will by far out damage all of your attacks over time. There's no way I'd drop it unless I was going for a PvP only build.

There's a bit too much emphasis on herding (that is, getting more than 1 group at a time) in this thread. Back in the days of I4 and less, sure it was great fun and fast to boot but these days it lands almost any team in a difficult situation. Best way is to smash quickly one group at a time, unless the groups are real small (ie you're solo or in a very small team) or the mobs are weak.

Back on topic, take lightning field, get a travel power at 14 (but don't add extra slots), don't take barrage (it's [censored]!), only take stimulant or aid other (but don't add extra slots, healing ain't your job) but do get and slot aid self. If you thing aid self is dodgy then get boxing and tough instead. And don't slot passive resists, they ain't worth it.

Rad infection - 6 slots ASAP. 3tohit debuff, 2 defence debuff, 1 endrdx
Enervating Field - 3 endrdx
AM - 3 end mod 3 recharge
radiant aura - 3 heal 3 recharge

As for Bark Blast, that ain't gonna be doing much damage in PvP but typical attack slotting is 2acc 3 damage and either endrdx or recharge. For Moonbeam, add an interrupt reducer instead.

Funny, back when Irradiator got the atlas medallion I'm pretty sure I got a heal boost

the best is the one you will entertain to play.
there is no uber build
when you see a uber troller its the player that is good .

i saw people owning with "non PvP oreinted" build.

A good player with a bad build beats bad players with bad builds.

A good player with a good build beats bad players with good builds.

Depending on the situation the good player with a bad build will beat bad players with good builds, but will not beat good players with good builds.
The OP here wants to be competitive with other PvP-oriented builds, so he asked which Controller would suit him. My vote? Mind/Rad.

Fair enough, when there's loads of you there's no point in staggering AM. In little teams, of maybe 3 or 4, it's well worth it just for the consistently good endurance recovery

[ QUOTE ]

At last a proper answer....i jest, i jest

Seriously, thank you all for the replies, arguments and banter...its been a joy to read it all.

I decided that i'm gunna try one regardless, it's gunna be mainly PvE and it's something i don't see everyday (and in about 20 levels i'll probably know why )

Ty all once again, yet i feel this post is far from over.

Wise man! You'll not be handing out big orange numbers to the bad guys but you will be able to hold aggro and not die. Juse make sure you can get a team for the killing!

Such a long post
to say so many wrong things,
such a shame.

And I quote (Dragonfish):
[ QUOTE ]
It was utterly insane. Five stacked AMs, fighting +2s a lot of the time and we finished one mish so quickly that AM hadn't recharged before we got to the next mish!
...snip...
We also noticed that when the AM wore off endurance began to plummet. Does anyone have any firm figures for when AM gets perma'd (assuming 3 slotted with SO's)?

[/ QUOTE ]

So 5 stacked AM at early levels is not perma. I know how bad the downtime really hurts so I suggested staggering AM buffs.

[ QUOTE ]
Honestly, spreading out AMs is pointless, because if your team is so small that this is needed, you shouldnt be teaming at all!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

That makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I've been caught out on mayhems doing that recently. Seems they're much more dangerous than they used to be.

Jackal: I've been there and done that with a rad corruptor team. The stun grenades from longbow are a nightmare!

4 or 5 AM slotted with 3 SOs goes perma. Until then, take turns using AM so you always have at least one at all times.

You guys will have a hard time when you start running into mobs with mez powers, mainly Longbow

Pro: it's a big hitty stick

Cons: it's [censored].

That Chalga dude seriously needs some help...

What I was trying to say is that not everyone is as rational, sensible or as well balenced as you and as such you either have to learn to deal with it or be eternally [censored] off at the stupidity of humanity.
I thought a Team America quote would have got my point across but I was thwarted by the heinous 'profanity' filter. Booo!

Hold on here a second, people are TALKING IN SIRENS?

We must put a stop to this evil fascist menace! I say ban the talkers!

Yeah, I blame The Man and his censorship for ruining a highly relevent quote.

And he did so say that!

See, there's three kinds of people: [censored], [censored], and [censored]. [censored] think everyone can get along, and [censored] just want to [censored] all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your [censored], Chuck. And all the [censored] want us to [censored] all over everything! So, [censored] may get mad at [censored] once in a while, because [censored] get [censored] by [censored]. But [censored] also [censored] [censored], Chuck. And if they didn't [censored] the [censored], you know what you'd get? You'd get your [censored] and your [censored] all covered in [censored]!
