Miss_Marvellous

I have everything from dark bar Howling Twighlight and Black Hole.

I know Howling can be used as a debuff as well as a rez but I dont want it.

I dont have stamina and tbh i dont need it im coping more than fine without it.

If i went for leadership I would only pick assualt and slot it with End Reducers. Just wonder what the actualy buff figure is or if thers anything else worth having from teh pools.

Was going to make a new thread for this question but I may as well post it here as its abaout leadership.
Heres the scenerio

My MM Punkette is a Thug/Dark, I duo with another Thug/Poison all time.

I basicaly have 2 power choices that I havnt made yet. I have everything I want from my primary and the secodarys so the two choice will come from the power pools.

I already have aid other and aid self and also have air supe and fly.

So all i can see of being any use is Assault, what is the acutal figurs on assualt and wouyld it be wroth while in view that it would benift two MM all of the time.

Or can anyone suggets an alternative power choice which they have found helpfull to a MM from the Power Pools.

Just watched that Real word vid its v good. Very nice how theve sinced the action in with the lyrics.

Yeah King Demorecord is fantastic you get no UI whatsoever.

Ive just finished my fisrt move much like you take a look
Here

Thanks for the feedback Capt.

I know I went a bit transition crazy, but this was realy an experiment to see what the software could do. I pretty much know what I like now and what I dont.

Your right about the camera pans there a swine to do but like you say hopfully with practice they will get smoother.

I also take your point about the flybye. The first one was to open the peice and fit the lyrics of the song "Im so High" but the 2nd one I was considering removing that myself.

I totaly agree with the point yopu make about the movie should match the lyrics.

Whilst this movie does for me , it probably doesnt show to the causal view, theres more kind of personel meaning behind some of the scenes to which is lost to the audience.

Ive already got the couple of idea in the pipeline one of which if i can pull off could be very special and very diffrent indeed.

Thanks again Capt for the positive feedback.

Just finished my first attemp at making a video the links below let me know what you think.

A Marvellous Family Movie

8th July 2006

A new and exciting project I’ve being working on is finally finished.

This is my first stab at making a movie so any comments would be greatly appreciated.

The Marvellous family proudly bring to you its first mini movie.

Enjoy!

A Marvellous Family Movie

Chapter 4 is going to be slightly delayed guys due to other comitments.

I would still like comments on what ive done so far with it being my first stab at writting.


Thanks guys

Im running stamina with my contrler yes but thats due to my primarys.

I have 2 MM LVL33 Bots/Traps and Lvl 23 Thug/Dark both havent needed stamina no wher near it in fact.

The good thing with trick arrow is that the powers duratoins are reasonable so you dont have to constantly use or spam the powers.

[ QUOTE ]
Only power i might drop of /TA would be EMP arrow, then again.. not high enough lvl to test that power

Rest of the /TA powers each are wonderfull, once you have them all casted on a group its plain awsome to see how fast they drop. I do advice to get hasten, some powers can be stacked (disruption, glue, ice, flash and entangle arrow) wich wont make it with just 3x recharge in them (as some you just dont have the slots to get them even slotted with 3 recharge).

But why making non-attack bots? /TA imho makes your pets shine bigtime regarding damage.

As for endurance, i never have problems when i spamming TA powers (though i have no toggles running), i always run out of endurance when i have to summon all pets and upgrade them. But i hardly slotted them with end-reds.

[/ QUOTE ]

Miss Marvellous is a Lvl 50 Ice/Ta troller and you should be able to cope without stamina.

Emp arrow for a controller is fantasic power, if its any where near like it is with a controllr its a must have.

I would say the description of the power is extremly poor it hardly burns any endrance only down side is it prevents end recovery for about 10 seconds.

Other than that withs so good slotting it can hold mobs for ageas and dose dameg to machines as well.

[ QUOTE ]
Sounds silly,eh?

Slot one DefBuff and take traps for the FFG (10% Def unslotted) and you can "cap" your henchies defense all by yourself.

There is a theory that the number is for both enforcers combined - still good but not insane like 13.6% each.

[/ QUOTE ]

Intersting mR and I are currently playing a duo of thug MM so basicall we dont have to slot for defense in the enfocers then as thats what i just did last night lol.

Thats 4 stacked though anything can be good with multiple aplications.

Against normal mobs 2 hold would probably do but for the tough enemies which need stackable holds 3 is a must.

Hope people are enjoying the story so far as the Marvellous Family begininngs are revealed.

Its my very first stab at writing a story so your comments are apreciated and much needed.

Enjoy

Chapter Two

Chapter Three

A Secret Shared
The journey back to Marvellous mansions was a silent one. It was an uncomfortable silence punctuated by the odd sound of a passing car and occasional toot of a horn.

“We need to talk son” suddenly spoke Lord Marvellous “I know father” replied Matthew “Just not now, you will have to give me time” “I understand son, I’m not quite sure what happened to you today but ,please understand I had my reasons for keeping things from you”

The sound off rubber against asphalt, changed to the familiar crunch of gravel
“ We have arrived home Sirs “ spoke the driver as the car slowed to a halt.
Matthew began reach for the door handle “Like I said father , I need time” he snapped as he exited the vehicle.

“Welcome, home young master” greeted the maid as Matthew stormed his way through the hall and up to his room
“ Greta, tell my father I do not want to be disturbed by anyone least of all him!” he yelled back at the now flustered Maid.
“Yes err young sir” she hesitantly replied

“Don’t take any heed of him Greta “ said Lord Marvellous as he entered the Hall, “Its me he’s upset with and with good reason”
“Is there anything I do to help sir,” asked Greta nervously
“Come to think of it Greta, there is ” Lord Marvellous answered ”I know your were close to my wife”
“That I was sir” answered Greta “we used to tell each other everything”

“Everything???” enquired the Lord as they entered the study.
Beckoning the Lord forward she whispered “Yes sir, anything and everything”
You mean you know” gasped Lord Marvellous a little taken aback from what he had just heard.
“Yes sir” nervously replied the maid, “ Mary, I…I mean my lady swore me not to speak a word to anyone, even you sir ”
“and you’ve kept your word for the past 10 years” he flustered as he turned to face Greta “what a good friend to my wife you must have being, though I have a question”
“Something happened to Junior today, during the race he somehow saw his mother” he continued” is it mere coincidence that today of all days you reveal you were my wife confidant”

“No sir, I don’t believe it is sir “ she said while reaching into her pocket,” today I received this”
“A letter? quizzed Lord Marvellous
“It seems to be from you’re wife” revealed Greta “she must have arranged for it to be delivered today sir before she left 10 year ago”

Greta handed the letter over .

To my dearest Greta

If you are reading these words, It has being over 10 long years since we last spoke and my last assignment has not faired well. I hope my letter doesn’t come as too much of a shock to you after this time and that it finds you and your family in good health.

You have being a loyal friend to me over the years , and I must call upon that loyalty one last time my dear friend.

10 years ago, I left you and my husband with instructions to carry out should I not return, however I fully expected that the grief of losing me ,would prevent him form fulfilling my wishes.

On the day we last spoke, I asked you not to reveal a word of what I had told you to anyone.

I ask you to keep your silence no more, go speak to my husband, it is time that the truth is revealed.

He needs you and more importantly my baby boy needs you.

Together you must teach Matthew who I was and more importantly who he will become.

Yours lovingly

Lady Mary Marvellous

“Oh Greta I miss her so much “ sobbed a tearful Lord Marvellous “The boy must hate me,”
I’ve pushed him away from me all these years , I just couldn’t bear the thought of losing him and that’s exactly what I’ve done”

“Matthew told me she’s alive ” said Lord Marvellous as he showed Greta the Pendant that Matthew had given him at the end of the race. “Could she really still be alive after all these years”
“I suppose its possible sir your wife had great powers that none of us could even begin to understand” comforted Greta “The pendant had to come from somewhere after all ”

“Greta, would you go see Junior” asked Lord Marvellous “Try and convince him to come and speak with me”
“Of course Sir” replied Greta
“Oh Greta, I would like you to be there when I speak to Matthew about his mother” he asked “I think its what Mary would have wanted and it would mean a lot to me too ”
“I would be delighted to Sir” smiled Greta as she headed out into the hall.

To be continued………

Thanks for all the advice guys but i finally plumped for Soinc, basicaly due to it being uncommon.

I like to buck the trend, plus I dont solo at all so there will always be a team benifiting from the buffs.

Rad just wouldnt have fit in with the concept I had in mind.

Kin is a great set and I think if I want already working on Little Ms Marvellous who is a kin defender then this would have being my choice.

Storm looks a very intresting set but I think I will roll a storm defender instead at some point.

So thanks again for all your advice guys

Im seriously considering a piece when you open your doors again but Im a tad confused on the pricing.

I would want a colour piece of my signiture hero Miss Marvellous battling my signiture Villian Miss Wraithful.

I would also like a enviroment in the background as well how much would that be, I have concluded that it would be $400 is that right.

Am I also right in thinking that for such a peice you would get a digital copy sent via email and the original hard copy, addtional prints would be $10 each in 12x18 format.

Many thanks and loving your work.

Ive decided to dust off Killer Watt my Lvl 34 Elec/Dev blaster who has being on leave since I6 came out so Im yet to make my post ED build.

I have a few question which I would like to ask.

1) I have the targeting drone and its 3 slotted with to hit buffs, do I therfore need any further accuarcy in my powers or is the Drone enoungh.

2) Which of my attacks from the electric pool drain the most enduarnce and is it worth slotting them with End Mods.

3) On the subject of end draining attacks, now that they are supposed to drain a % of the targets endurance it should in theory take the same amount of attacks to drain 100% endurance from a minion than it does an AV. (This is of course if we dont take regen into acccount). Is that correct?

4) I only have Webgrenade, Target Drone, cloaking Device and smoke greandes from devices. Is there anything else worth taking from the Dev pool.

Just picked up this power and im liking it apart from the obscene recharge time, though I understand why it has it.

Just wonder how people go abaout slotting this, do you go for the usualy 3 dam and 0-2 accuarcys or do you slot for recharge.

My intention was to slot for 3 dam and 3 recharge. Though Im not to sure about the damage as its pretty week to start with.

Im considering storm, thought it looks a tricky set, which is good as i like a challange.

Ive not realy seen enough people use it in the game as well to form a judgement on it.

Im looking to make a new troller with Mind as the priamry.

What secondary would you say best complement the primary.

Miss Marvellous is Ice/TA so i dont want TA again.

Seduction my LVL 50 defender is a bubbler so I would like to trys something diffrent though I would consider bubbling again.

Thanks

Im about to pick up shadow fall tomorrow, any suggestions on the slotting or should i just pop the one end red in there.

[/ QUOTE ]1/2 EndRdx, 3 DamRes, it gives nice resistances (20% unslotted, 31% with 3 SO's) to E/N/P, which are generally not too well resisted.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow thats quite a bit of resitance didnt think it would be as powerful as that.

Im about to pick up shadow fall tomorrow, any suggestions on the slotting or should i just pop the one end red in there.

Is short circuit worth getting again now theve fixed the end drain for I7?

Yeah I agree with Max on that point It would be too easy to get the pets back up mid fight.

So far so good with my thug/Dark though neraly at lvl 14, endurance is not an issue so far.

Ive decided to only go for duel pistols as a personel attack and have 3 dark powers so far. Ive got the lucy of 3 spare power slots in my build so if stamina does become an issue I can always factor it in.

Comments apriciated please.

CHAPTER 2
A Race of Revelations

“You can do this son” whispered the voice in Matthew's head “You have a gift”

The crack of the starters pistol brought Matthew to his senses “Mother” he murmured as he stumbled forward , the others participants were already ahead of him. Quickly gathering his thoughts Matthew launched himself forward, his legs felt heavy and clumsy, but he gritted his teeth and ran.

The yells of the crowd were deafening but all he could focus on was the soft reassuring voice of his mother “The strength is within you son” she spoke softly in his head.

He could no longer hear the shouts of the crowd , his legs begin to shake off there clumsiness, he felt the lactic acid drain from his aching muscles as he stretched out every sinew in his arms & legs.

30 meters, he was catching up, he could feel the oxygen filling his lungs.
40 meters, 7th place was his, he began to open his stride as he drew level with 2 other boys.
50 meters , 60meters he was up 5th place time seemed to slow down.

The finish line was in sight, through the shimmering haze he could make out a women in white, she was beckoning him into her outstretched arms. “Mother” he emotionally yelled, he suddenly felt as if the had broken free from the final shackles that held him.

60, 70 80 meters he was now neck and neck with the leader, surprisingly he wasn’t even gasping for air, Outstretching his arms Matthew threw himself over the finish line and into his mothers arms.

“Wake up Matthew” spoke his mother softly “Wake up”
Opening his eyes Matthew slowly became accustomed to the light in the dimly lit chamber.
He was looking up into the face of his loving mother. Startled he quickly sat up.
“Where am I, who are you” he hastily demanded , “Matthew “ spoke his mother comfortingly “Its me your mother”

“No you cant be, my mother, she died when I was young , you” he paused “ she drowned in a boating accident.”
“This will be hard for you to understand my dearest Matthew” she explained “But I told your father to hide the truth from you, until you were ready”
“Ready” asked Matthew “Ready for what”
“Ready to here of your heritage“, she explained “but unfortunately he has not fulfilled my wishes, the thought of losing his son as well as a loving wife is to much for him to consider ”
“But” stuttered Matthew
“Listen to me carefully, my time he is at an end” she explained “Forgive your father and tell him he has nothing to fear, for I am alive”
“Alive “ gasped Matthew
“There’s no time to explain, my dearest son” she wept tearfully “ Give your father this pendant, so he will fulfil my wishes and tell him that my love for him is as strong as his for I”

The chamber began to grow darker, “Mother” shouted Matthew “Don’t go , Mother!”

“You ok lad” said the race official as he helped Matthew to his feet.
“Yeah I think so” he replied “What happened”
“You threw yourself over the finish line and hit your head boy” explained the official.

The PA system suddenly sprung into life “ Your winner with a new competition record Matthew Marvellous Junior”

“That’s my boy “ came a yell from the crowd “ I always knew he could do it” proudly boasted Lord Marvellous as he appeared from the assembled crowd striding proudly up to his son.

“What’s that round your neck lad” his father asked “Have they given you your medal already” he chortled
Unclasping the chain from round his neck Matthew stared at the gold pendant that his mother had handed him .

“Its for you father” explained Matthew handing his father the pendant
Tears began to well up in the eyes of Lord Marvellous
“Mother’s alive and she forgives you” he whispered to his father as he walked back to the changing room. “She’s alive”
