lol april fools.

Have there been any recent Illusion/Kinetics guides?

Thanks, Midnight

I'm gonna agree with Deadboy here... You really are missing some of the key componenets that make a lot of people take /ice. Ice Sword and Frozen Fists are not intended to be powers that you spam (unless you enjoy blapping a lot). They're for both slowing down your target *and* doing some respectable damage to them in the process.

Chillblain- one of my favorite powers in the game, great graphic, nice effect, stops flyers (deadboy, it doesn't ground them when I use it, what are you hitting with it?)

Chilling Embrace- A great power to have on during a mission or an extended fight, it will slow anything that manages to get into melee with you long enough for you to get away and get off a few more shots before the mob can reach you.

Shiver- I've heard that this is a great power, and personally I have never used it before, so I can't really comment on it.

Freezing Touch- You're a blaster, you sometimes get hit...this stops the evil whacky man (not wacky, whacky as in he is going to whack you if you don't freeze him).

Frozen Aura- you seem to enjoy spamming your nuke, so I really doubt this would be valuable to you (you have 3 spammable AoE attacks...unlikely that you would get much use out of this except in the most extreme cases).

Anyway, good luck with your "Splendiferous" arrowing...

EDIT: You may want to change your PFF slotting to 2 res, 2 def, 1 end redux, 1 recharge. That should stop almost anything directed at you (short of the occassional Monster boulder...which can be survived with FoN + PFF...you can take ~3 of them). You just don't need 2 end reducers in a power that you're only going to use in emergencies and that you don't use attacks in.

EvilGeko:

If you want a response from Castle (or at least for him to open it), title it:

Stalker Powerset Concerns

...I swear he has a filter on his PMs that deletes everything without the word stalker in it...I guess you could try:

Stalker---Indirect MoG nerf---Stalker

and make every third word "Stalker"...then he's sure to read it.

...

*goes back into his hole until needed to make a sarcastic remark again*

Meh, all this means is that we will have to cooperate to gank all the Stalkers...then they'll whine until we're nerfed, then we gank them again...

It's a vicious cycle... with the Stalkers winning because they have a dev on their side.

Any I6 Inv/EM guides out there?

Oil Slick is decent?

I thought it caused fear and did utterly craptastic damage...

is it actually good?

(no seriously, I absolutely LOVED TA when I tried it...I'm just interested in how it does now)

Thankyou Pink!

I was actually looking at your guide recently and wishing that it was I5 updated (more like pulling my hair out about it, but hey).

Thanks for updating!

CLOCKWORK DRAIN ENDURANCE!

This is by far, the most irritating thing in the low levels IMHO. I'll be waiting for the tick of end to blast the guy and it will vanish before it gets there.

You're welcome, the real credit actually goes to my sg leader who introduced me to the Fire/Kinetics build and showed me what it could do.

Try a fire/kin controller. Hot Feet and Siphon Power will be your main dmg dealers (hot feet boosted by a perma-sp). Get into melee range with the target you plan to SP (i.e. like running against him so that you're running but not moving, that range of melee) and use Siphon Power. It should give you a double Siphon Power, 1 from your buff and 1 from the aura around the target. That's a +50% dmg boost to hot feet. Skip knockback powers. Get Siphon Speed to help with the recharge of Siphon Power. Get Hasten. Get Assault+Tactics. Get Combat Jumping, SJ, and Acrobatics. Get imps. Get transference. Get Fulcrum Shift. Get Fireball, Fire Shield, and Consume. You are now a god.

You may want to re-think your statement about Aid Other/Aid Self...I have a tank who (when in the thick of lots of DoT and AoE) uses Aid Other to heal people who are taking lots of dmg (SR Scrappers and the like). I have also found that I am able to complete the animation and the heal while burning.

The interrupt must be miniscule...the only thing I've EVER had it interrupted by was Burst, which is one of the fastest DoT attacks in the game.

I grabbed a copy of the "Defender Issues" post a couple weeks ago and am working through it in my spare time. Considering the length of it, I will probably have gotten through it sometime in Janurary.
