I started an empath/psi recently, he's lvl 24 currently and has all his available primaries, hover& fly, manuevers, tactics and vengeance. but just the first of his secondarys.

I don't call him a pure empath but i find the most effective empaths are those who focus on buffing, if i had more atatcks and slotted em properly i could definetly solo better and do more damage, but thats what i generally find scrappers and blasters are for, and theres never a shortage of them in a pick up group. I find that keeping your average team alive is a full time job, if i do get a break its to clear mind everyone some more, the perception can be ace against arachnos with their pesky smoke grenades.

The point someone made eariler that your team may be more grateful for saving them debt rather than (moving to my opinion) attempting to arrest a minion while the tank/scrapper/aggro monkey gets faceplanted.

btw vengeance is there to make the best of a bad situation, and cos i find it's brilliant when theres an idiot on the team, you get rid of a hazard for the whole team and give em a great buff at the same time, freaking owns.

a colour no other raid member wears is pink cept him though
alternatively just have a design on the chest and legs in either black or white, something that stands out for example. I know you'll get it right

open to suggestions for alternate raid times, just post what you think would be best,i'll poll the results and see what i can do

because the list is copied and ill add it on next time, also i chose fridays based on the length of time i excpected it to take, now i just keep it on that day cos it works.

if you cant make it you could alwys try what i believe cryo kid did

reviving thread
i have a tohit debuff, defence debuff and end reduction HO i would like to trade for either a acc/mez,dam/mez,acc/dam or heal/end

Once again Hamidon was defeated, and once again were not gonna leave him be.

If you plan on coming please sign here with your name, AT, powersets and any relevant info.

Firstly anyone coming please make sure you have a Hami raid cossie, these help to reduce the lagg greatly. I believe the layout was tightchest and legs, smooth/bare full on gloves and boots and a tech helm, all one colour.
scrappers-yellow
blasters-red
defenders-blue (empaths-green)
controllers-Purple
tanks-Black
PBs White
WS-black/purple
If you have a hold please add a purple stripe to your costume.
Some of these may be wrong, i need to find the guide for em. This is the best costume for creating as little lag as possible. If you really cant afford to change a cossie please wear one with as little detail as possible, No auras or capes, these cause massive lag during raids

Here’s the info for the raid in just over a weeks time.
Also those that haven’t already please read Read the guide HERE by Archy, Xanthus and friends, tyvm to them .

PA team-Paragon girl
Taunt team-Dark Blazes, Curing catz
Clearing team-streekz
Holders-Raziel

Well there’s the assigned positions I’ve made so far for teams, the PA team are phantom army droppers and kins. Taunt team is the Hami tank, gilga or MD with emps to keep em healed, one to many so those that want can help with the healing blanket.
The mito team is for the clearing phase, all those not needed for another team just follow streakz and attack his target when the mito clear phase begins.
The hold teams should be compromised of anyone with a hold, or speedboost/accelerate metabolism.

Also do not use any defence/dmg res toggles in the Hive, Hami and co do untyped unavoidable damage so toggles apart from mez protection are useless and just cause lag.

To review the raid, firstly we’ll meet at the Hive entrance in Eden, there everyone gets into teams, those in the PA and taunt teams get together then, everyone else can make their own for now. We enter and go to cowards hill, near hamidon, if you’re unsure where follow everyone else .

Most important rule is not to aggro or attack hamidon, second is not to draw GMs into Hami, Do not under any circumstance attack/taunt or use any power on hamidon.

At this point the PA team move into position, and once we have the go ahead follow streakz and clear them mitos . Our hami tank team will enter once we’ve got a big enough space or if we reckon there is a wide enough coverage of PA, so less chance of hami being aggroed.

Once all the mitos have been cleared everyone is to go up to hamidon and brawl him once, make sure it hits no other powers to be used, this is to ensure everyone will get a hami O while also preventing the aggro being taken off our hami tank. Then the Hold phase begins. For this phase only the following powers are to be used (special thanks to Archy, Xanthus and friends for the info taken from their guide, here and throughtout post.)

No dark servant cos its twilight grasp will cause to much lag

-Tankers: not worth it becuase of guantlet
-Blasters: Tesla Cage, Freeze Ray, Bitter Freeze Ray, Shocking Grasp, Freezing Touch, Shocking Bolt, Char, Cryo Freeze Ray.
-Defenders: Petryfing Gaze, Choking Cloud, EM Pulse, Ice Arrow, Tesla Cage, Telekinesis.
-Scrappers: not worth the lagg.
-Warshades: Gravity Well.
-Peacebringers: Incandescent Strike.
-Controllers: Fossilize, Volcanic Gasses, Char, Cinders, Gravity Distortion, Gravity Distortion Field, Singularity(3 slots for Hold Duration, no matter the others), Block of Ice, Glacier, Blind, Flash, Dominate, Telekinesis(whatever slotting you have), Total Domination, Choking Cloud, EM Pulse, Ice Arrow.

In addition to this, the only buffs which should be used really are AM and Speed Boost for the +rechg so that holds can be stacked. People need to understand that spamming immobs and heals, leaving auras/shields on, using pets (other than Singularity and maybe Dark Servant), or just using random powers (like Fulcrum) is totally useless and counter-productive since it increases the lag to the point where we can't see if Hami is held.

I'll appoint someone in charge for this, so once this phase begins please listen to them
NO ATTACKING HAMI, only holds during this phase.
Anyone without a hold or recharge boost will have to sit on cowards hill and wait,no scrapper or tankers, even with holds in this phase unless we are desperate due to the lagg. As long as you brawled him you'll still get Hami O though.

Lets show him what for chaps

KK guys emergency plan B GO *fires golden rings at Vahiki and runs off*

nice to see so many already, won't move to 8 however, if times are anything to go by we will be halfway through clearing phase at most by 8 anyway.

Hopefully if all goes well hami will be down in no time

Thanks you to Raziel, Paragon girl Streekz01 Dark Blazes
and a heads up to curing catz, srry you crashed and missed ur O after all the work you did to help

good ol jingle jet will be helpful during clearing, probly wont cause to much lagg and isn't much of an issue during cleaning phase anyway.

love to but i dont think the raids gonna be over in an hour

I'll be there

not worth it, the duration is pretty poor as wel as recharge, accuracy and its pretty laggy. so probly not worth it unelss absolutely nesecary

kk, ty Archy

indeed, the temp should be very useful for the raid, still gonna restrict tanks from hold phase however, not sure about the effect with guantlet on a temp but still 2 holds or more only
