Maybe you should try another AT. For me Scrappers getting dull after some point. All you have to do is keep pressing same buttons and hope to kill things before they can kill you (same applies for blasters, if not for sound fx of Sonic Attack i can never play a blaster).

We have a good team and it will carry all builds with grace. So i can only advice you to take your time and find a hero you enjoy the play. As V6: Silver Team is aiming to lvl 50 this will be a long trip.

Also in general as we all have some degree of altisis, maybe in future we can start a new V6 team on Defiant. I have one more project i want to make but not now. I have enought hero to lvl up at the moment.

Welcome back

Team is currently lvl 22ish, except Quantum Field who's still lvl 18

Maybe you noticed between my and nightmarer's chatting, we get a break 'till the end of the invasion. But i have 2 toons to help you level up. One is lvl 8 and one is lvl 14 atm. Feel free to shout if you need help.

Hmmm i know it is how hard to level non-healing defenders. They are foster siblings of most beloved sets.

10 pm BST is midnight for me so this is usually when i stop playing and heading to bed. Anytime you see me online (you can add me to your globals, @Knightly) send a tell and i will accompany you.

Cheers

Little thing i used on my Recall Friend. Put a Range increase on it. I found it much more usefull. It's recharge and End costs are okay with me. But on some maps you will need range (like Shadow Shards, Independence Port and iirc Eden Trial Map).

Leadership powers are toggles and you have enough toggles to worry about.

What will these powers give to you?
+ Acc, with Radiation Infection slotted with - Def Debuffs you and your team mates already have + Acc also you will get -Def Debuff from your attacks
+ Def, Radiation Infection also has To hit Debuffs that means enemies will have a hard time to hit you. With my current slotting on RI (3 defdebuff, 3 ToHitDebuff) i can stand near the +1 bosses without worries.
+ Dmg, You have Enervating Field for it.
And real gem of the Leadership Pool, Vengeance. Well you have Fallout for greatly weaken your enemies.

I didn't notice any disorient on my hero with EM Pulse but as i get it very new i can't be sure about it. Or maybe i was running Indominatable Will while i am using on my troller i didn't notice it.

I don't know much about Radiation Blast but i can help you with Radiation Emission part i guess.

First your 3 debuffs. Put 3 End Rdx (if you planned as 2 lvl 50 IOs it is nice) on Enervating Field. I usually use 2 Def Debuffs, 2 To hit Debuffs and 2 End Rdx lvl 50 IOs for Radiation Infection. For Lingering Radiation instead of slows put some Recharges in it.
Buffs: No need 3 Rechgs on Radiant Aura, 1 will be enough because of AM and Hasten this thing usually be up and maybe you can swap one of the Rechgs with End Rdx because of your debuffs huge end costs you will find RA using so much end.
For AM i usually use 2 endmods.

Also i never had Fallout (or better say yet not had) on my radiation def or controllers. But they say one Acc maybe one Def Debuff is enough for it.

One last word for over all build. As i understand you care about damage but i never feel Radiation Blast have that great damage. But in the end all secondaries damage potential raised with Rad primary. Sonic or Psychic Blast will be more suited for damage IMO. I have one Rad defender and as you can see it has Archery as secondary. Killing things sometimes takes ages with arrows but still it is fun to play.

Good luck with your Rad Defender.

As most of you noticed finding teams on low levels is very hard nowadays.Most of the players don't want to join teams but on the other hand i know many people who loves teams.

So here's the deal. As my V6: Silver Team Trainning Session take a break during the invasion i offer a steady teaming 'till the end of the invasion.

Don't let the name of the thread decieve you, with a full team we will gain levels faster, not that we hunt XP.

I have a low level hero available; Forceward Lvl 8 FF/NRG defender.

But if you want to start from the scratch i can make a temporary FF defender till we reach the level. Or if our heroes in close level range we can continue our adventures.

So any team players left out there. While big boys play in RWZ we can have our fun in the whole city and protect citizens of the Paragon City.

If we'll have enough players we can start tonight at 18:30-19:00 BST.


Cheers

Gratz on big 50, mate.

I wish i can see that day someday.

Also Rad/Sonic, i deleted him on mid-20s too. But as i have a Sonic Blaster i can say that having Sonic Attack on a defender is a waste of a good set. If you really like the sonic side roll a blaster.

(OMG end is near. I am encrouging people to make blasters.)

According to Mid's Hero Designer current Acc is +142,3%. I hope this will be enough. But i think real problem is HP cost of the power and if i can be able to use Aid Self while during using OG.

ROFL

Try ice/storm or grav/storm. Fire/Storm was kinda fun, i leveled one 'till lvl 5 .

I can't remember which one that was (Storm/A or Storm/NRG) but with that toon i played my easiest Cave of Igneous mission ever. Poor stone creatures couldn't lift a finger and iirc we completed that one without a team wipe. (without an empath). Turn on Hurricane than run like a rabid dog around.

Heh i had altisis, making a hero for a day than got bored.

Actually i like FF because it is kinda fire and forget set. Which will give me enought space between bubbling sessions for doing other things, like blasting bad guys.

The problem with the Electric is it is animation. It shows as hit even when you miss. Maybe i am wrong but it also has long recharge time.

I tried all defender sets. Here's a little break down from my point of view.

Dark: Not worth to work to level, only thing you do is keep spamming dark powers
Empathy: Dangerous, people always blame you about faults. They see you as heal-bot.
Force Field: One of the most fun sets. Gives good defence bonuses, huge mez protection bubble and ideal for multi tasker especially if you love ghosting.
Kinetics: Same as Dark. Not fun.
Radiation Emission: This set rocks. Throw your toggles than fire away your blasts. AM is my favorite buff. Also has best res power in game.
Sonic: Like bubbler but didn't like it. Even with the new grapic fx still not for me.
Storm Summoning: This one is kinda nice for getting wild. But most of the team mates don't approve that kinda behavior.
Trick Arrow: I will make one in the future. I deleted my TA/Psi and still regreting it. TA/A not for me i prefer solid damage with annoying redraw animation.

I hope i didn't forget one.

Cheers

Heh just what i was going to say. But i think a fun blaster depends on what you like. I didn't like ice that much and fire is so-so. But with the great sound fx Sonic is really cool set to play. But some players found these fxs annoying but i think they are an afrodisiac for my hero. I can't wait for my powers to recharge, not because i want to hit bad guys but i want to hear that sounds (he is lvl 14 and still scream has the best one IMO).

For secondary i choose Electric just for Power Sink.

Okay here's two question on behalf of my Bubbler.

1- For a NRG defender Power Brust worth taking?
2- How to slot Oppresive Gloom?

My bulid and current slottings are as the following:

Stupefy on the Oppressive Gloom is a Disorient set. As i don't know how it will work better i put there a set.

Thanks for your replies.

Actually it is not really altisis. I really bored with low levels. However i don't have enought heroes to play. Deleted all others. Only Psy-knight and Beloved of Apollo was there. As Beloved tied to V6 Silver Team that was only left me Psy-knight which i was waiting for respec.

I made a Ill/TA and MA/Regen but didn't feel like playing them. Illusion is boring to the bone on low levels. So i decided to try a blaster than made Devil's Chant which is great. During Rikti Invasions and RWZ raids i saw many who's suffered mez effects. Decided to make a defender to help as many people as i can. Tried an Empath but i can't play with them. Storm and Kinetics not really for me. So i decided to make my first ever toon in the game a bubbler. Yeah i have Air-cell but i bloody hate from electric blast. So i decided to make FF/Psi but even found the thought of it suffocating and decided to try FF/NRG. With Medicine, Teleport and Concealment pools i think he will be a good multi-task defender.

So now my Union server list only has 5 heroes, Air-cell will be deleted as soon as Forceward get Caverns Mission. If you can call a man with 5 heroes has altisis, well i have it.

But i continue to make builds or heroes just for seeing them action. As role of the leader always have been my burden in teams i must know at least little about all ATs and Sets.

I am not certain about this new SG thing but i can tell that; last nite we were 3 on the team. One half-dragon, one half-fey and one half-yuan-ti looking heroes. So maybe i will start a SG for D&D half races look-a-like toons. Devil's Chant is also looks like a half-fiend creature.

When you'll do Synapse let us know. So we can back you up against Babbage.

My global is @Knightly. Just shout and i will be there to help you. That GM can be a pain in behind.

So Nightmarer feel free to play with Magnum as you wish.

The thing here is that Agent Magnum is fun to play on this team, anyway, no worries, I'll use this break to farm inf and stoof with my Defiant scrappers and get a few more sets done now that I am really close to get a full Scirocco's Dervish and a full Touch of Death on Nightmarer and I'd like to advance a bit on Clattuc's Crushing Impacts

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh i am glad i didn't say he is also the lowest level hero in the SG if you don't count my alts.

Last night i start a new hero who reached lvl 7 (A FF/NRG defender, you know how i rant about Air-cell's Electric blast, KB madness is working really nice). After teaming with two wonderfull and interesting looking friends last nite i began to think about new consept group and SG. But first need find some people to join it.

Anyway 'till the next week... Goodbye.

Kira, thanks for your kind words. I think i will leave Beloved in that team. As we run this team 2 days a week, i will really miss Chant. So i will play with him on other days.

@ V6 members;

I think it will be better if we wait 'til Leon back. As he's the lowest lvl hero on the team, if we continue playing gap between our levels will be raise and he can't attend TFs or Trials in the future.

So Nightmarer feel free to play with Magnum as you wish. One higher level hero is better than a team of higher level heroes. Also as you said you have some low level heroes to level up and i want to make a */Psi defender (i have a lvl 2 empath/psi but i don't know if i will keep him or not, being an empath is hard business, especially if you have wonderful examples before you (Mother's Love and Minta Nyx)) we can run a speed leveling team this week.

At usual days and time;

Tuesday and Thursday at 19:00 BST (21:00 for you and me ).

I have a dilemma now, i can't choose between Devil's Chant and Beloved of Apollo. Both are looking cool and fun to play.

If you want to but i still think Invasion is really really cool. Last nite Beloved and Adhara put up a good fight versus Rikti.

Anyway if you want, i am free to run a team (i think i can resist the urge for running invasion site, especially Galaxy City).

Let the others confirm their situations and we are good to go.

For Magus i first need to learn more on them but fight fire with fire seems a reasonable answer. A team of controllers can easily lock them down. A sonic, empathy or kinetics keep others CMed. While Rad and Storm ones run toggles to de-buff them. Especially -acc debuff from sets means less chance for magi to hit others. Hmm also Scrappers and Tankers have mez protection. Maybe if we can have one tanker, one mez protector and one debuffer in each team this will do trick.

Just throwing ideas, not that i am most experienced in this situations but i believe every idea is usefull since they can open new doors for progression through the success. I hope i don't offend anyone with them.

PS: Yeah i regret that i didn't get IW instead of Mental Blast. I think i will change it with free respec. Or get ice epic pool for hibernate and higher damaging Ice Storm.

Heh nice to hear you found the troller you like Kira.

Empathy is better suited for Empath Trollers in my opinion; i mean putting heavy weight on Empathy instead of Controll (which i was tried with Hamiye and M-Path).

Hope to team up with you in game, Devil's Chant is lvl 7 and Trap Trick is lvl 8.

Cheers

My Computer gave up during the beginning of second run. As it was getting late and i've no use on the thing i decided to go bed and offer my hot body to an eager young lady (new kitten i found on the road, she thinks i am her mother ).

Anyway i hope we can do this again.

I've never been in a Hami Raid, but i think i can figure out somethings.

PS: Yay finally we can fight side by side with Mother's Love.

Maybe at least costumes can have less details and without capes or/and auras. I will change one of my costumes for that matter. Old fashioned Purple/white can be enought i guess (with whole stealth and eyes aura i have reasonable lag, with my capes one things was worse).

And which one this will be? RWZ, RWZ-2 or RWZ-3?

PS: Luckily my only toggles are my debuffs so i die easy with or without them.
