People can currently grief people with ID if they choose too. Surprisingly, you just don't see it happen. -

I take SB on all my Kins... always have always will...
If you dont want SB lmk and you wont get it
Or did you quote me because you agreed? -
Gratz!

I think Power Boost works on Benumb, which if true is reason enough to keep it around.
And thanks Xury2, I didn't mention the "enhanceble factor" of the damage resist portion. Thanks for the comprehensive post. -
Well, to be fair, it is working as it's intended...just not how you want it to work. If a power is def only or another power boostable attribute it will effect it, but if a power has +resists it won't be power boosted. That's just the way they designed it.
-
Power Boost doesn't increase cold shields because they also have +resists (cold) in them as well and PB doesn't effect resist powers, so therefore you won't see an increase to anything in the power. Same with arctic fog.

Sure fast run speed can be a pain on some cave maps (I find Council bases especially annoying) But its +RECOVERY!
+RECOVERY!!!!
I get over any annoyance I have just for that fact. -

Quote:Pardon me, and I sincerely don't mean to sound snarky. But a controller does not in any way need tough/weave for survival. It is a neat trick to help softcap a farmer for S/L etc etc, but by no means required/needed by your standard controller. This idea that a controller needs any protection other than their own mezzes and debuffs is quite frankly not looking at the AT for what it does best. Epic shields are just nice little bonuses, but look how long your career is to that point and you did (hopefully) just fine without them. I would never-ever recommend to anyone they forego any primary or secondary power for the sake of punch or kick/tough/weave. (farm builds excluded) My first controller 50 (earth/rad) has zero shield protection and doesn't die anymore than any other toon. I can almost (almost) see the argument for a solo toon but you say you team and I can't for the life of me see how a teamed controller needs that little extra protection, sorry.Originally Posted by Torrynt
Of course all of this is anecdotal and I can only claim experience of myself and a few friends. It's a great tool prior to your slotting your powers and as a slow patch it's useful. However, once I've gotten slotted I don't need -DEF for +3 or +4... and a slow patch is of marginal use to me.
Others might find more use out of it and who knows, you may love either or both. I like them, but not enough to sacrifice things like Tough/Weave which let me live longer and hence use controls that have, IMHO, a far more tangible effect on the battle. -
Controllers still rule.

To je saist- I'm not so sure I'd call ID a "class defining power".
To the OP- your mezz protection as a controller is to mezz them before they get to you. Solo requires certain tactics that you likely won't need on a team, especially on one with someone that can soak the alpha. -
Quote:Don't pray at my altar???? Muahahahahaha, silly man. You worship the great Blue Bar as much as I do. You just do it at the hands of false methods and blasphemy. The Church will still be watching you, oh worshipper of the artificial stamina. Some day when you are alone and unable to get your fix....the Great Stamina will forgive you and allow you in its presence. Until then, keep dropping to one knee every room so that you can recover.............slowly............or take your handouts of endurance like a lowly begger. It's all the same, for one day you'll return and beg for the great mercy of the One True Recovery. Stamina be thy name!!!!Originally Posted by Robert_B
Yea, I'm calling you out, you and your false godthingy!
As I listed in my previous thread about Fire/Kin Non Set slotting, I just reached 20 on my team of 2 Fire/Kins and a Plant/Rad, and now with Perma SB on each toon (and 2x on the Rad) and Perma AM, even with JUST IO's and Tough/Weave/Hotfeet/Manouvers going....I...DO...NOT...NEED....STAMINA!
REJOICE !
Granted.... I do have some EndRedux sloted and SB is three slotted with EndMod (and so is AM) and it does take having three accounts perma teamed BUT! I...DO...NOT...NEED....STAMINA!
Oh We are all heroes; you and Boo and I. Hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice!
[Please take an informative pamphlet or call the Church call center at 1-866-STA-MINA. Councilers are standing by to offer you guidence and forgiveness.] -
The -defense is a HUGE plus for quicksand. But to look at it in other aspects, one (QS) is an area or cast where you want it and the other (SS) is a toggle or who you want it effect. The end usage of the toggle as well as the fact your anchor can run off (slowly) and draw more aggro. My personal preference is EQ, I think it gives you more "control" over the situation (round the corner casting, location debuff and defense debuff).

So . . . the Church of the Blue Bar is actually a front for Evil? Whaaa? I bet you sacrifice non-combat pets for your horrible rituals!

oh rely? :P
now if you just did them during the week so i could play :P -
You won't regret fire/storm; it's a great combo......be ready to be sucking wind on the endurance though. Try and get as many +recovery and +end bonuses you can.

Quote:We'll be watching........oh, we'll be watching.
Sorry MM, it's not going to happen, I'll have perma SB x2 on every toon with my new setup, so I don't need it, even with Manouvers/assasut/tough/weave/APP shield going, hello Transference.
Here, have an instructional pamphlet. -
With an all controller team, unless you are up against a big nasty AV alpha is pretty irrelevent as long as the team is in pretty good sync.
-
I host/run semi regular All Controller TFs on Guardian. Not only are all controller teams viable..........they are CoH on easy mode, but tons of fun.

Quote:The Church will be watching you.
Note: Before anyone posts about not having Stamina I don't need it with my builds because I used 3 characters at once, 2 of them Are Kins (so Perma SB on every toon) and the other is a Rad who will have perma 2X SB and with the recharge from that (100%) and the recharge from her own AM, AM will also be perma so hence, I do not require Stamina. -
Just fyi, while siphon speen has a debuff component, its the buff component that is so important.

Quote:Well, lets see here. I have a 50 rad/storm def; a 50 fire/storm contr and a 38 ele/storm corruptor. Yeah, I have much love for some storm, and I wouldn't rule out an ele/storm controller either.Originally Posted by Negate
Thanks Bass!
Well Mental I don't know about you but I do know that you don't know, that wou would like to know that an Elec/Storm is a MUST! be it FoTM or not. :P Also Elec/Rad would mesh well. Elec/Kin, Elec/Cold....
Then I'd be in trouble.Quote:personally only like to use each primary and secondary once. The only secondaries I have yet to use are Force Fields and Empathy.
That has never really bothered me to be honest, I have many of my 50s that have some overlap. I do like playing rare or odd combinations so I'll have to give the electric some thought. Oh the decisions........I like having these kind of problems
-
Must decide what my first electric controller's secondary will be.................hmmmmmm. Decisions.....decisions.
Tricksy Devs.............. -
Mark me down as another ranged earth/rad. My earth/TA is also a ranged toon. But my earth/earth dom.....melee all the way........get me in the middle of the ruckus! Fun stuff.
