Still here and still not got my 1st 50 :-) Altaholic? Me??? never!!
Remember Pre-Christmas 2004 in Beta - that was great fun and then the BIG day! Coming home on a train from London with my Delivery at my office desk asking one of the guys in the office to open the box and read me the code so i could register and login as soon as I got home :-)

[/ QUOTE ]

Your not alone, im still here, if anyone knows who i am, got too many alts been around since i dont know when, but it was long ago

fair enough but i prefer the ability in AS compared to TF, the, what i think, is instant knock down, much quicker and faster to use when in a dog fight,would be interesting combo animation in the air, ET then AS to slam them into ground, then TF to bury them

Im just wondering what people's opinions are on this power, i honestly prefer energy transfer over this, and find air superiority much more useful.... Can i hear some other peoples opinions on the power

Loose the slots in barrage. Slotting brawl has more use since brawl can knock toggles.
Barrage is too low damage to bother with.

Use the slots in hurdle/cj instead.

Chilling embrace cant taunt in PvP, so dont bother with taunt duration.

Stun has little use. Drop it.

Get body mastery instead of fire.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont know about you, but in my opinion barrage can be handy for stunning targets, so i try to include some disoriet enhances in my powers

Also whirling hands can be handy for stunning multiple targets at the same time, the energy power pool, plus is also good for holding aggro in pve, i think its a worth while power, but thats just my opinion.

Cant really suggest much for the ice primary though.

Ive never used stun because all the other powers can do the exact same thing, just keep wacking them and they wobble before you

I just need to ask a quick question though is total focus a worthwhile power?... wait ill take it to another thread...

Another useful power is air superiority, makes it much easier to take out fliers

Sir Smashalot is back? must see if i can get him on my global, if you see him again tell himj i was asking for him

I don't think it helps that there are a lot of bad tanks, whereas anyone can spam heals and look like they're being effective with a defneder.

I've been on teams where people have congratulated the defender for "Good healing" while in reality they were just standing there with Healing Aura on auto and occasionally using Heal Other. If a tank is [censored], it's a lot more obvious.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is very true

Ive even been kicked from a team because of the poor performance of a defender/controller or AKA the "Healer"... just because the poor "healer" offered an immediate and apparent benefit to the team in the short term,they decided to kick the, and yes ill be modest , good tank instead... got me so angry i couldnt stop laughing... i timed how long it would take to get reinvited... it wasnt even longer than 10 mins... but happily declined

I think when it comes to team make up you can tell if the a tank at heart, if

A, They are the tanker and lead the group like a true tanker would

B, Or the leaders tactics revolve around the tanker in the team, ive been in teams and have turned out to be the one that controls how the team works, but a true "tank at heart" leader will be able to control the tanker,and the team, without annoying anyone...

Just something ive noticed... might be a load of rubbish but i appreciate this so much when i see it

Plus im not saying these are the best team leaders, im just saying that imo they are the best "Tank at heart" leaders

I dont know what it is, it just feels so heroic to make that one last stand... thats why on countless occasions i make it a priority to be the last one to leave the fight... even if im fudged from the very beginning...

[/ QUOTE ]

OFT!!!! Best bit about being a tanker imho: 'RUN! I'll hold them off!!!' and everyone makes it away. Brilliant feeling knowing you're the only thing stopping a wipe...

[/ QUOTE ]
Except that those poor sods never run when you tell them to :/

[/ QUOTE ]

With my tanker hat on, it's my duty to go down with the ship, so to speak, so that the others can all escape unharmed.

However, with my defender hat on, it's my duty to try to keep everyone alive to the last and will often stay and do my best to keep the tank (or whoever) alive for as long as I can - even if they're telling me to run.

[/ QUOTE ]

when i got my defender hat, which rarely occurs, i take the commissar approach to a team, "Stand and fight or you will be shot!!!"

It makes me mad when i see a fellow tank run with his tail between his legs

Once a tank, always a tank!!!

Ive got tank in my blood

Ive found the Tanker AT to be the most enjoyable AT to play since starting city of heroes over a year ago. Ive never really got as good a feeling playing any other AT. When you get "In the Zone" in a mission you do feel invulnerable, no matter what powers you have.

Id have to admit i like dieing in the fight more than suriving (but only if I am the one who dies and not others)... I dont know what it is, it just feels so heroic to make that one last stand... thats why on countless occasions i make it a priority to be the last one to leave the fight... even if im fudged from the very beginning...

You might call me crazy but I love taking the alpha strike in a fight... before i got energy transfer, everytime it happened to me i smiled and knew this mob would be finished within the minute... but once i got energy transfer i felt the power, I was returning the alpha strike, I still cringe when I see Lucius's fists light up and hammer into some poor bosses face, Ive even got to the point of saying out loud to the enemy "If you dont kill me instantly your forked, (and yes i say fork )

Tanks make me feel powerful and thats why i love them
And i say again

Once a Tank, Always a Tank!!!

oh and all tanks should know this

Well i got a basic theme tune for myself and want to be kinda selfish .....no sg tune would be good enough for me muahahaha

Oh but if i were to create an sg I'd have to say that our theme would be:

H-Blockx "I've got the power" (snap remix)

congratz mate

Big congratz to you Lady D

Later mate, good luck with your GCES's

Many a demented toymaker has made appearances as super villains in comics over the years, so this could actually be a bit of fun

They should probably go with something a bit darker - like Tim Burton-esque toys, or just keep it a very dark tone of colour - could be rather creepy and would make for an excellent horde (imagine more but weaker minions) options, where you flood the enemy in exploding teddy bears, marching toy soldiers and the like

[/ QUOTE ]

I like the idea about the tim burton-esque toys....

I was also thinking about the toy soldiers that you see in the "Santa Claus 2" film. very childish looking but having several of theme mob up on you may be a lot scarier than you think.

I've also seen a few villain costume pieces that remind me of the old nut cracker dolls that you find in traditional christmas scenes.

This might seem a bit strange but i find that the best controllers are the ones that look like their conducting an orchestra. This is from observing a Grav/kin controller for a whole Tf and a few other controllers. The point is that the more fluent their moves are the better their doing. Its like Bach.... control/control/buff control/buff debuff/.... If you thinks im nuts then try watching a Grav/kinetics controller at work

Or maybe its that im easily amused... who knows

This is just a quick idea that ive thought up.

Wouldnt it be cool to have a toy power set... Stealing an idea from the robots powers... but maybe their entrance could be a giant "Jack in the box" or toy box idea where your minions are fired out when they spawn.

For your primary pet you could have either have Toy soldiers that shoot explosive corks or even teddy bears who charge into close combat.

For secondary pets maybe the idea of having bears that pull stuffing out of themselves to create "Fluff" shields around their allies. That absord or soften damage.

For the big boy it could be a giant teddy bear that wreaks havoc ... or even a giant "jack in the box" with a rocket laucher or a giant bean bag gun

The minions could be really bright and colourful on the outside... but savage killers on the inside.

The toy soldiers could look like the Green Army men that you get in mass or the Nut kracker soldiers...

(picture the scene)

Hero Superspeeding through bloody bay. All of a sudden he hits a giant colourful box that had just appeared out of thin air infront of him. He looks the box over and wonders what the heck it is and what may be inside. It reminds him of his child hood. He smiles.... All of a sudden the box opens and out pops a Giant "Jack" and lauches a bean bag at the hero.... Next thing we see is a giant Jack in the box chasing the hero around bloody bay
