Uhh. . . This kinda of vague Suggestion for a possible Water Blast set is just. . . Well, not going to happen. I gave a full description of a possible Water Blast set and was not very enthusiastically recieved, it seems the suggestion of the Power Set has lost its impact due to. . . These kind of Suggestions.

Take a look at mine in my Sig or in future take a look at the 'Search' option on the forums, like Xemulas said.

What is the Damage Cap for Lightning Rod? That of the Normal Brute Cap or different because it is a pet summon?

Yes! Very much so! They are your core debuffs and are what make Rad Emission Deffs so dangerous, yet highly useful! Only trick you need to figure is putting the anchor on the right person, so that your debuff lasts throughout the whole fight =D

Hey! xD

Radiation Infection does -Deff (which can be enhanced via DO's, SO's or IO's) and -ToHit(debuffs there Acc), which can also be enhanced.

Enervating Field does -Dmg and -Res, which cannot be enhanced and have a set number or how much they debuff.

Personally the only Power from Radiation Emission i would not take is Choking Cloud, High Endurance Use and a low 1 Mag Hold; looks great though!

All the rest in Emission are great, however Mutation and Fallout are very situational, still very good though! EM Pulse is a GREAT PBAoE Hold, good Debuff and has special Dmg vs Robots ect; however it will have a -Recovery on your Endurance for a little while.

Radiation Blast is a nice set, Irradiate is a gem (hope you have it) and Cosmic Blast is a fab ST Stun Attack, which decent Dmg. The rest of the powers are ok, will depend on your play style.

Hope this helps! Enjoy your Radiation Defender! xD

Heya xD

Ok i have recently made this Blaster and have enjoyed some fantastic leveling and she is already level 20 with just 9 hours casual game play! =D Now i need some advice, i have an Nrg/Nrg Blaster who has the Melee attacks, great burst damage ect with stuns. . . However, i do not want that for my new Blaster. I am looking to be at total range which is why i have gone with /Nrg with Archery/, perma Boost Range will allow me to fire off my attacks from over 100ft! =D Couple that with RoA recharging every 20-30 seconds and other AoE's (still not decided on which ones i will stay with) i hope to achive an Old Skool, total range Arrow firing death machine; too far away to be targeted! xP (I will also be slotting most attacks for Range)

Now thats my plan/idea, what i need help on is advice from people who have played this sort of style or even just Archery. I would like to casual PvP (Warburg & Sirens) shooting from range, so out of the way as much as posible and hopefully out of sight.

What travel power would suit this combo in PvP? What other Power Pools will help? Hasten for sure and i am thinking of Stealth with a +Stealth IO (would that be any good?). Would Medicine be a must? With Power Boost, it would be nice, plus i could pick up Stunning Shot for a higher mag duration Stun, would that help at all?

PvE wise, i would like to know wether or not i would need Stamina? Only Taking Conserve Power, Boost Range, Build Up and Probably Power Boost from /Nrg, i have noticed i do get low on End without Conserve Power but i have not yet slotted my attacks with -End. Hasten is a definate and i am looking to get extra +Rech from IO sets (want Rain or Arrows up much as posible).

Concept, complete Natural.

Just advice on which powers to take from Archery, what Pool Powers and PvP/PvE advice, as i am still really undecided on what build i am going to have, i just know i dont want the Melee attacks; silly but different! xD

Thanks for reading and hopefully thanks for any feedback =D

I like it! Its a nice costume design and the drawing of the wings like LeighB said are great! =D Fresh, keep it up! xP

Hey guys!

I should be able to make it from 2pm onwards! Just going to see if i will be using my Fire/Thermal thats already made. . . Or start fresh. . . Ahhh the choice! I will be on though so count me in for the first meeting! xP

Preferred time(s): Wednesdays & Weekends (Not certain)

Preferred server(s) Union or Defiant

Preferred sets:

Primary: Fire / Rad / Sonic

Secondary: Traps / Thermal / Rad / Cold / Kin

Right. . .

Sorry for the old bump, well its not really a bump its a final feedback! xD

Thanks for all the advice over the last. . . Year or so (i think i take a while to decide and come up for a good character idea. . . Just a little while. . . xP) some very useful infomation in this thread for people who want to solo AV's ect on a Mastermind.

I have gone for a Thugs/Traps Mastermind, with a theme of natural criminal insanity; the simple pleasure of murder. Time to get this baby going, i have planned my build with a focus on Defence, DeBuffs and Damage (Taken a few attacks as well as Traps). Using Thugs as damage soakers and dealers (picked up the Medicine pool too) however this leaves me with no Travel Power which i am ok with because i am completely natural.

Thanks for all the help and sorry for the very delayed response, at least now i can fully enjoyed a well thought of and researched character!

Great Thread. ^ _ ^

Then for everyones sake, do not post your pointless posts/topics in the player guides until you know what you are talking about. This thread offers nothing but us to tell you how rubbish your 'guide' is and to help prevent further confusion & miss-directed 'infomation' for all the helpless new players out there.

Now, go smile at your post count of un-usefulness. I will not bother trying to inform you how pointless and unhelpful this thread is as you do not seem to understand and i will not waste my time doing so.

Have fun. . . xP

Did you even read the post?

I wish this was the case, late night boredom can be a regretful thing. . . =(

Mega_Jamie knows his stuff and i totally agree with him, please try and prevent yourself from posting pointless and useless guides; is post count really that important? If that is the case; i'm not even sure my pity will compensate for your ineptitude. =/

I would be interested in joining an all-corruptor team, should be interesting and fun xP. Would it be on Union or Defiant? Guessing Union xP, like MarquandDance, i would'nt be able to make it EVERY weekend, but i am on a fair bit and could join the team =). Would be start from low, or any level?

Please, try not to post guides on the silly forums, some poor inexperienced player; like yourself, might stumble across it and use it (lets hope that doesnt happen).

A lack of total descriptive infomation, pro's & con's as well as no advice on how to play or partner Illusion Control. Just not good, i hope you dont have one. ^-^

It just will not work, even with 30-40% Def they can still take you out in just a few hits. I have a FF/Dark Def and even with the Great Def i have (Bonus + Manauvers), if i toggle on Force Bubble i will alot of aggro and have to keep a close eye on my health and get ready to use Life Drain.

I just dont think it's a good idea, prove me wrong? But i doubt it, not anything that is worth the time and effort.

Yay! Even if the rest did not make sense, the love for Water Blast is still there! xD

Water Blast for i13! Or at least in the future sometime soon. . . xP i13 & i14 are meant to be HUGE; its possible! ¬ _ ¬

Oppps! Double post xD

Sowry!

Hey!

Sorry for the delay reply post and stuff, been away from CoX for a while ¬ _ ¬ anyway. . .

Yeah! I Loooove Dark Armour! Got my brute to 50; woooop! So i will be doing the final build and slotting for him soon, hopefully with 20% extra recovery, 100% end reduc in Res Toggles 70% end reduc in all attacks! IO's ftw!

As for your comment HardRider about how much damage i do? Well i usually have perma full fury with my Fire/Dark Armour, my attacks are still slotted for 100% damage and i have build up, so it usually takes me Fire Sword Circle, Ball Lightning and Electric Fences and the +2-3 mob is dead, with a few Liets to kill xP

For those who are interested in Dark Armour i would say go for it! Pick your primary wisely, if they are end heavy; slot for end reduc! But always fully slot the Dark Armour toggles for End Reduc; the Resistance toggles are actually ok endurance wise, its just with extra toggles like Clock of Darkness, Fear and Death Shroud; which are usually situational.

I have made a Dark Armour/Mace Tank to stack Stuns (i found the amazing usefulness of Oppresive Gloom from 48-50) and for concept reasons and i think it will be my first Tank to 50 =D.

Good luck with those who choose the Dark-side (could'nt help it xP), you wont regret it; totally different and alot of fun!

Hope i have helped ^ _ ^

I hope to God that no innocent new player stumbles across this 'build/guide' for an Ice/Kin, its just. . . No, sorry its just a poor; not to mention, rushed build. I would post my Ice/Kin/Fire Farm/PvE/PvP build, but. . . I'm selfish. xP

No.

Changes to Dark Armour are unlikely to happen, the set is fine as it is. Yes with all toggles running you are going use endruance faster than a Kin/Elec can drain it. However, Dark Armour offers so much utility, good all-round resistance and of course the best Self-Heal in the game. The key to Dark Armour is the right slotting, in which if you have a heavy-end costing Primary you must consider slotting the attacks with end-reduction too.

I dont have Oppressive Gloom as its only a small mag stun and i dont mind Minions hitting me, little damage but keeps Fury well up xP. However i have Cloak of Fear as a sort of panic button when Dark Regen isnt up (which is rare, i have slotted my Dark Regen very well for good Acc, Heal, Rech and End-Reduct) but just in case, i have it. So i dont use that all the time, i use all the Resistance offering shields all the time. Death Shroud toggles on for herding and when i want to max my AoE damage (my primary is Fire/), so this is not always on, but i still have it slotted for End-Reduct. Finally, Cloak of Darkness. . . Now this is a little tricky, i use it for stealthing and when i want an extra bit of protection (i have Combat Jumping so it stacks some Deff and Immob protection), it also has +Perception! Which is very helpful in some situations.

My advice would be. . .

Slot your Energy/ attacks for decent End-Reduct (percentages should be between 40-60%, more for the big hitters).

Use all the toggles that offer Resistance, only use the other powers (Cloak of Darkness/Fear, Death Shroud) when needed.

Use Dark Regen alot and make sure its slotted heavily for End-Reduc (70-80%), you can achive this will some wise IO slotting.

I also have some decent +Recovery from IO sets, about 10-12%, im not too sure. That does help, but only if you are wise with your IO end-reduc slotting.

I love my Fire/Dark Brute and it will be my first level 50 Villain, soon as i get my last two levels xD.

Hope this helps, enjoy.

P.S btw /Dark isnt so bad in PvP, i help my own against 3 Scraps, 2 Blasts with only another Brute and a Corrupt. =D

Surely its Soul Control, as its a Control Power Set. . . No? It would most likely be given to Controllers anyway (if introduced), as Heroes get other Dark powers too xD

Anyway. . . /signed

Like the idea very much, now if we can get Soul and Water Power Sets for i14/15. . . xD

Hey!

I am just wondering, is it worth slotting Short Circuit for damage or end drain or even a bit of both? With IO's i can manage to do both but i am just wondering if its worth it either way? I am currently playing an Elec/Dev (which is alot of fun) and since getting Short Circuit i have usually had little end problems (without Stamina). Now later i am going to be running 2-3 toggles so i am getting stamina, i am just wondering what makes best use of Short Circuit?

I have taken Ball Lightning so the two AoE's go well together, i also intend on PvPing abit too, so any suggestions would be great! Not experienced in Elec what-so-ever so yeah! xD

Simple!
1. They will know who Lily Allen is.
2. They stay up late. (I did a Psychological experiment on that for my A-Levels, its true!)
3. Ummm. . . Student ID card? xD

Good idea though xP
