    Earth/rad build

    Test my faith?????

    I'd never let the Great and Mighty Blue Bar down. And neither should any of you, for blaspheming leads to zero endurance and zero endurance leads to toggle dropping and toggle dropping leads to death!

    Please accept some of our informative reading materials.

    I will say that the one thing my build does that others wouldn't like is that I delay Accelerate Metabolism to level 35.
    You are dead to me.

    In general for controllers you want +recharge, +recovery and +end to start for bonuses.

    You want your big controls (usually slow recharging) up as often as possible and you want plenty of recovery to allow your debuff toggles to stay on. The beauty of a /rad controller is AM will help on both fronts and bonuses will push you even further.

    Local Man, Local Man, Local Man!

    Quick! someone needs an earth/rad guide!

    Earth/rad build

    Maybe a little more information so people can help you.

    1. What "type" of build: teaming, solo, pvp, all of the above.
    2. What are you looking for from the build: set bonuses, power selection only, SOs, sets, frankenslotting

    Anybody can slap together a build, a little more information can help getting you what you are looking for. Maybe slap together one you kind of think you'll like and let us tweak it for you.
  6. + recovery and +end if you're running dispersion, arctic air and disruption fields. Your choice of APP may be wise.

    Also for most controllers +recharge is always nice.
  7. Nice, Psiphon, you beat me to it. I was just about to point out Tal and his SFX vids.

    My Big Mistake

    It's never a mistake to roll and Earth controller of any secondary.
  11. Freakshow is my hands down favorite enemy group. Love the look, the humor, the attitude etc. I still laugh in Brickstown where the Freak spawns are lying around acting hurt and when you approach they jump up, laugh at you and call you a sucker for falling for it. Same trick for 5+ years now and they still think they are fooling us. Big freak tanks carrying steroe speakers is pretty funny too.

    I actually like Malta.....until KoA start showing up in their arcs........ARG!!!!!

    I like the vastness and variety of Arachnos, but hate Mus with a passion.

    Then try my MA arc #1178 Coulrophobia (Fear of Clowns) meet the Children of Auguste....you'll love.......to hate them!
  12. Sincere nonsnarky hints:

    1. The shift key is your friend.
    2. At least come close to the correct spelling.
    3. Punctuation.

    Making at least the slightest effort (you don't have to be perfect) in the above will garner more responses than writing like a 13 year old texts.

    Also, posts where the above isn't even considered, that then say: "I want a guide and I want a farm build for mad influence!" without your current build, a potential build, or an explanation of what it is you want to try will typically fall on deaf ears. It comes off like, "Gimme now! I don't want to put out any effort". Especially when there are one or more threads right around the post that will easily answer that question. Like here or here. Also, you don't need to bump every hour....threads don't move that fast in the Controller section.

    Those responses will usually get the generic "Use the search button" answers. Just trying to help.

    Quicksand

    Look at it as an opportunity to free up slots to get set bonuses in other powers. You know, that power that's fine with 5 slots but you'd love that 6th slot bonus. Personally I like 1-3 powers that I don't have to worry about.

    Purples only seem to increase recharge and accuracy
    Those are two very important attributes for a controller, though.

    I'm curious, we know you want to farm with it; so what do you want the build to do? (By build I mean what are you hoping to gain through IOs?) That will help us help you with the build.
  16. At least we have a dev response on the topic. Put the rumors to bed so we can move on to the next thing.....................

    RSF Runs

    I might be interested in one or more of these runs:


    Redside 50s:


    Dark/Rad corr
    Dark/Fire brute
    Plant/Fire dom
    Hunstman Bane build
    SS/SR brute
  18. On a side related note........played with an leveled up my earth/earth dom to 28 this weekend. Wow! Loving it. It's a fun, active little "pop in and out of melee" build.

    /e juggle

    Didn't you ever listen to your mother????? Juggling knives is indeed a terrible idea!
  20. Personally, I think PGA. But don't look at is as a control power (big mistake) look at it as another source for debuff which I think is better than what flash offers. YMMV

    Teaming

    I'm not teaming right now, because I'm at work. Later tonight I'll be teaming with friends.

    Oh. and doom.
  22. People's reaction to difficulty is what pretty much turned me off to making more arcs, even though I enjoy making them and telling stories.
