You "almost" got slapped there Local. "Almost"

The very first power that any controller should take AND slot up is its single target hold. I'm a fan of aoe immobs and see their value when used properly, but they don't take the place of a ST hold getting a boss or lieut out of a fight. It's great for crowd control and for damage. Both important for any team build, solo build or farm build.
(my opinion of course) -
Don't use it on my Plant/Fire which I play similar to an earth troller.

Inspired by a thread in the Guardian forums, I present to you for your viewing pleasure AE Babies Episode 1
One brief NSFW word. Enjoy!
Episode 2 on the way. -
It would be a lot more helpful if we knew what powerset combo you are using. Also siphon speed doesn't take "hold IOs". Not sure what you are getting mixed up.
Assuming you are a kin (given talk of siphon speed) you can get so close to perma hasten even without IO bonuses, simply have maxed recharge in both hasten and siphon speed and multiple stacked siphon speed.
Besides the accomplishment why the desire to perma hasten anyway? Sure its a nice acheivement, but the few seconds out of hasten even on most builds doesn't signal the difference between a bad build and a good one. It's nice but far from necessary and I wouldn't want to sacrifice a build just to get it. You say your happy with your current build, go out and enjoy it. -
Hi new Guardianite.
Hi Toonies. -
RaiderRich inspired me.
I give you AE Babies Episode 1 Watch as Muffin Maiden meets Capt. Outhouse.
Warning-One brief little naughty word. -
Quote:I'd agree with that in most instances but if I have an end hog build (plant/kin isn't one due to transference obviously) I like 4 GW embraces for the 2.25 end bonus and then fill in with some frankenslotting/HOs for the last two.Originally Posted by Local_Man
I like to slot most of my single target holds (which do damage) with 1 Nucl (Acc/Dam), 2 Perox (Dam/Mez), 1 Acc/Mez, and two common Recharge IOs. No set bonuses, but I get good accuracy, capped Hold AND Damage, and great Recharge. There are some places where HOs fill the gap better than IOs.

Big gratz!

Quote:As others have said that isn't true. I wonder if they were are using KB IO sets or placing KB enhancers in the power. (which is a no no) damage and recharge are all they really need.Originally Posted by MaHaBone23
Cages won't negate the KB from Tornado. Tornado's KB is pretty beastly. i've seen it toss around double-caged minions with ease. It does seem to minimize KB distance, tho'.

I had rolled a Earth/Storm but I am thinking of waiting till Issue 16 and rerolling to have Earth/Cold Domination which seems like will be new alternative toolbox to Rad
-
Earth/Rad- the ultimate toolbox
Earth/Storm- uber powerful
Earth/TA- uber control
(sidenote- I personally found the power mastery pool pretty "meh" on my Earth/TA) -
Happy Birthday!

I'd prefer 3 rech IOs and the resist proc in sleet than 1 acc and 2 recharges. It debuffs defense so it will hit just fine.

Fissure - this AoE does good damage and has a reliable stun that sets up containment for double damge - also has kd for extra control. -
If you don't understand anything in this thread, you might be an AE baby.

Happy birthday to you two.
Hi Toonies! -
pull the proc out of AA in favor of an end redux
If you have to use the purple set, that's a good idea. Personally, if I'm looking at an efficient build I'd frankenslot it for confuse and end make sure I've maxed end then maybe a proc or two. While the purple bonuses are teh sexxeh, I think we're sometimes blinded to just want them without looking at the returns. (Not saying that's what you're doing...I'm just as guilty at times) -
I don't see the need for acro in most circumstances nowadays in PvE anymore with all the IOs that could help with KB etc.
Editing as I'm typing- ahh so the order isn't the end order you're just looking at the bonuses. Gotcha.
I can't remember but is there enough end reduction in the purple confuse set? You need to be careful with AA, its fairly end heavy. -
Meh, I don't use fulcrum shift for that last 50 hp's damage, I care more about the first 240 anyway. :P

Heat loss at 41? Whats the hold up? Get it and slot it ASAP. And yes you want benumb. I agree with Local on the slotting on sleet and pretty much the rest of his post too.
