  1. I've just taken this on my Bots/Traps. I love this power. The whole concept and function is hysterical.

    Why does it get such a bad press?

    I set up a bind so that I hit a button that selects my big guy, and a second press activates the boom (including humerous bind ). I can move him between the two presses if I want to direct him in for a planned explosion, or a quick double tap acts as a nice "final measure" panic button if I get mobbed by something troublesome. I love it, it's like having a mini inferno MM .

    People hate it because it's clunky to use? Or expect more damage? Mine's unslotted right now and very nearly decimates the minions in +2 Ruthless missions. Should be nice with some slots running in it, right?
  2. I'm suprised the Chance Of Build Up is recieved so poorly in MM pets.
    My MM is a little shy of 50 to try it, but I have it in my Plant Dom's Flytrap and it frickin' rocks. A stupid amount of activations and really nice damage when it triggers, esp' on the 'Traps own Fling Thorns.

    I didn't buy it for 70 million though !

    Yeah, that few square metres of beach is HUGE!
  4. ...and he did, and it was done . All squishy teams ftw. Raar!

    Ta for the TF Spawn. SOrry I ran after so quickly, but it's so DAMN rare a villain zone gets invaded afterwards .
  5. I'll be there with my MM. Wouldn't mind an SK from a charitable soul .

    Just aside,..

    Confused. Dominator's poor at soloing?

    News to me tbh.

    As for Blasters. I wouldn't be able to agree there either.

    With some ATs as exceptions I think the solo/team aspect is more subjective to the powersets on offer.
  7. Yeah teaming you should be ok.

    Might want to take Stamina earlier. 20-30 might be a slog with a bit of pain in it otherwise?

    Also with soloing, above Malicious could very well be tricky, but you'll need to be pretty cautious with anything to forego the medicine pool.

    ...the "Paragon Police Department' SG. An sg mate wants to get in contact with the leader of said sg, as he has an alt that he thinks'd be perfect for them

    Hi .

    The group is just a small fun project between a few friends. We've not really thought about opening up invites outside just yet, but your mate is free to PM me here or send a /tell ingame to me @Mighty'. The characters in the group all have a "Detective..." something or other name and a couple of set cop uniforms. Like I said, it's a bit of fun and a mess around themed group .

    I wouldn't kid anyone it's that active, I tend to play my cop when I'm drunk or something .

    Awesome work with your 'trollers . Was good fun playing on the team .

    I really should make a 'troller some time .

    Except you're 8 levels below Eclipse and no chance of surviving the aggro long enough to double Mire which will also aggro the whole NPC mob further while you try to make use of those buffs for 30 seconds of PvP. Splat .
  12. I'll be there (this time). Any time's good for me really.
  13. OK, cool.

    Day or so's notice would be great, otherwise I'm probs committed to some TF or another, or getting turned into a blue and white smear across some arena somewhere.
  14. I had PC trouble too .

    Sorry I missed the hunt . If you run it again, I will definitely be there!

    PVP

    Some of the reasons probably being that all the good stuff that makes Warshades monstrous are the buffs they get off mobs. Big mobs, lots of enemies = a sexy, vicious Warshade.

    Now if you could get everyone in a PvP zone to kindly stand still and near each other so you could buff off em, problem solved .
  16. Or, it could be the best time given the current situation devleoping .

    If one thing would be come true out of this list which one would be your choices?


    Cross Server Arena and PvP zones would be mine.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Definitely.

    At least arena first. I wouldn't mind waiting for zones, but arena would be huge.

    But zones right up there too. And Warburg or somewhere NEW being opne zone team up for Heroes AND Villains, because being in the minority, being hell bent to try and get a villain pvping flat out sucks [censored] when you enter WB and everyone else jumps you over and over and you can't even get a team if you tried and wanted one. I'm totally sure there'd be be way more villains pvping over time if there was a team-up open zone to at least get things rolling, and I'd be there loads right off the bat.
  18. That's quite a good list. And I liked that it wasn't just a bunch of really elite people being er.... elite. A lot of these suggestions *would* get people PvPing.

    From a casual perspective and just a purely game perspective I don't like the concept of auto hit stuff in and PvP context. I think a lot of stuff could use some acc checks or at least have counterable actions available. Well counterable actions are by and largely available in some form with a few exceptions.

    I don't mind TK all that much, there is a counter to it, although quite expensive.

    Stuff like Cage though. I get what the problem is that a change could take a set down a bit, but the flat fact is that's one sure fire un-fun power that just equals an instant I-AM-BORED button .

    By and large, probably to increase PvP the game needs to get PvP appealing to people, erm... like me ( ). I've subbed for a long time, I have a bunch of fairly well built ( ) toons which are by and large [censored] solo in arena, and ok in zones. I now have one PvP orientated toon and I want to PvP. I'm not gonna change servers to do it though. I want to stay where I can team with mates and enjoy the content and play as a rounded player, not just PvE and not just PvP.
    I want to learn and I want a decent route into getting "pitch time" and practise. "Get a team" doesn't work off the bat, because I'm not very usual in the player base wanting to try right now, and those that are my friends that do PvP have moved servers.

    Tall orders I know . But there's a few honest things the way I see it.

    Good starting list though.

    The AoE department is what Warshades are about for me. I needed to find a area in which my Warshades can have a niche that makes them particularly attractive especially in terms of fun. Some max/minners (not min/maxxers) would say that its only when they play a warshade the grouping up 16 for AoEs is the only time they like herding. In being a big fan of AoEs I try to make my WS a self sustaining nuker but obviously only in some teams can my warshade function as well as I intended.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This for me too.

    I can rarely find the complete interactivity that I get on my Warshade on many other characters. My Warshade is Tri-form and I've gone for everything that makes him very nukey and very self sustainable.
    I actually finally "got" Warshades bigtime after a looooong struggle with them, and for some reason, after levelling my Plant/Thorns Dominator. I probably learnt heaps about applying control and mixing attacks or something and was able to apply similar approaches to my WS. I dunno, it made sense and clicked for me .

    I clicked with binds and switching between forms quickly and then went wild .

    You can do some very cool stuff with Warshades in the right teams. I like it when people start to say, "Oh, I want a Warshade now!" .

    Tri-form Warshades certainly aren't a lazy build. Mine cycles and switches between all the forms a crazy amount, each time suited to how I want to deal with each mob, or enemy, and I totally love the variety of choice in tactics and strategy that a multi-form Warshade offers .
  20. Grav/Ta is really nice. Prov has one, and although he has not PvP'ed with it a whole lot, I've been on either side of it. It's a very horrible combo to fight against, and a really really good one to team with . The new sets are really going to be worth watching!

    If you only.....

    Hmmm. This kinda makes me think of what gets sacrificed for Perma Dom. Hope you can fix up your PSW AND keep Perma Dom.

    Not that my Ice/Psi is anywhere near high enough , but I don't intend to impact PSW with anything, and probs go for a full out mixed HO,IO sets range for 90% acc 105% damage and 78% recharge.

    The build I'd work to, if I went all Gucci for a few Decimation and 1 LoTG would give me Domination recharging in 84 seconds, with Hasten running, to it's 90 second duration. So sure, I lose it when Hastens out I guess, but I'd live with that to keep my powers intact and vicious and belting out the Shockwave every 3 odd seconds, or 4 1/2 for the 105% wallop that 90% isn't .

    Though I'll only take Decimation in key powers where I can bump it up with something else. The recharge bonus is nice, but the set's own 62% accuracy and 89% damage is pants .
  22. I can come, with a Blaster, or Warshade.
  23. That Warburg boat in Union is crazy packed.

    DS/WP Teams

    I'd have thought you'd approve of a themed team?
