I always preferred sneaking up behind them and knock them out with a good one-two punch (Energy Punch + Bone Smasher). Or just jump up to one during a fight and SMACKDOWN! They won't have time to hit back, trust me. People with Hover can't pull this off, but CJ and Hurdle gives you great combat mobility.

If you want high single target damage you need to use your secondary. The post wasn't really directed at you though, I just never see any brave (hitting people from behind, but up close kind of brave) blasters anymore. I'm also convinced that CJ gives you better survivability than Hover. If you Hover the mobs know they can't get to you and just shoot at you. If you CJ the fools think they can reach you and spend more time running than shooting. This could be all in my mind though, they might just chase me while their ranged attacks are recharging. It's not like I have time to analyze the situation.

U should team with me then, I don't attack unless I'm hitting them in the face from melee range (even with my blasts, I love blazing and BiB'ing baddies in the face when I'm close enough to touch them. My Fire/MM only has 1 "melee" attack and that's PSW so it's not even really a melee, but I use Fireball from melee too! I do however Psyscream while combat jumping out of said mob thought.

I first took Teleport on my first blaster (while first learning about the game), then respec'd into SJ a short time later (once I shelved the character for a while not liking my power choices and then learned we could respec LOL) and picked SJ. I haven't gone back. I have CJ/SJ on ALL my blasters and most other characters as well. CJ offers the greatest combat mobility for my playstyle (melee/range mixed) I also will add hasten/SS for flavor. My Fire/MM blasters couldn't play properly without SS and always has CJ and SS on with Hasten on auto, meanwhile my Nrg/Nrg and Ice/Elec have maintaned only CJ and SJ. Blasting just isn't fun for me unless I'm standing next to something while I'm hitting it in the face.

fire/mm, ice/mm, elec/mm, or arch/mm

[/ QUOTE ]

Out of these 4 I would say Fire/MM. I have both a Fire/MM and Arch/MM and while I've enjoyed my Archer I absolutely adore my Fire/MM. I feel like an unstoppable wrecking ball of destruction on my Fire/MM with Drain Psyche, PSW, Fireball and Psyscream, I'm dealing the AoE dmg in the thick of it. Meanwhile my Archer just sits back and unleashes his fury, while fun, I like to get myself wet with the blood splashing of my enemies

My Fire/Mental/Force is My absolute fav. Just Pure AoE Damage he's a wrecking ball of destruction.

A very Close second is my Ice/Elec/Elec Blaster, 4 Holds great ST ranged and melee dmg and Limitless end with power sink and a Huge Damaging (and mitigating) Ranged Nuke that you can use power sink during to fill back up on end and go on your way is pure win, (only rivaled by Drain Psyche capping targets pre nuke and effectively wiping out the -Recov from inferno)

psi/dev

[/ QUOTE ]
hehe, I'm imagining a toon that is a blend of Psyche and Macgyver

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been DYING to try a psi/dev I'm just not ready to build another blaster yet. Workin on a tank and coupla scraps. next blaster will def. be a Psi/Dev, meanwhile if you want a non-popular but amazing to play blaster go Ice/Elec it truly was a beauty from 1-50.

It's official, Deflagrator is Lvl 6 and ready to rock whenever the 2nd gen starts. He is a Fire/EM tank. Despite a brief personal Bio I haven't really come up with anything story based since I'm not sure where we are going with the story for the second gen.

I'd go with the two team idea, split the group up between 2 teams and go. Next week rearrange the teams so everyone will get involved with others that they may not have been able to team with and of course a lil team on team friendly competition in missions or TF's would be good.

This sounds like a good idea to me, and oh yeah HI!!! hehe
Of course it would figure that the Monday you are starting to plan this is the once in a blue moon monday that I would have to work. It's possible that I could get out of it seeing as how I'll be on the schedule for 14 consecutive days at that point (and counting since the following weeks schedule isnt finished). I have rebirthed an old concept toon that I thought of when I first started playing and think I want to create him, not sure how I'll work his story into the groups (or what this story is for this group). He's basically a Fire/Em tank (cuz Scrappers don't have Energy Melee) whose family is responsible for guarding the Soul Fyre Crystal. To do this his entire family has a Soul Fyre gene that awakens when the previous guardian has relinquished his guard. OK I'm off to work, c ya when I c ya. If I can get home early enough I might be able to catch the last 30 mins of your guys session tonite, but no promises. Cya X

'ey guys just wanted to pop in and say hi. I've been working til about 9 the past two tuesdays so i was correct in my original assumptions about my work schedule, although I will not be working Mondays (we're closed) so I will definately be available for the next run. I am thinking about the MA/Shield Scrap, but still not completely sure so I may go with something else.

Heyall!

So the past few weeks have been hectic/frantic and my life has undergone quote a few changes, that being said, I will begin working on Tuesday, and probably will work til 8 or 9 every tuesday there after, so I won't be around much if at all. I will however have Mondays off so I can rejoin with a new character for the Next Gen. I'm Thinkin MA/Shield Scrapper (possibly he can be the link to the Police this time?) just a thought there, not necessary. Regardless I'll be in touch through this thread and watch for when the next run starts, and I'll try to make it even if late on Tues.

See Ya,

X

Sorry I didn't make it on last night. Had some comp issues, (Picked up a virus) and although it wasn't really active it was given me a hard time to get rid of.

I should be back for the next run. I had to move out of my apartment on short notice and didn't have reliable computer access until yesterday, not that I really had time to settle down and even come on line to really do much. Assuming we get everything unpacked by Tuesday I should be good to go!

So I am house sitting/babysitting for my GF's neice and nephew. I highly doubt that I'll be able to get on tonite
I did give them my old computer that does have CoH installed, however its got a really low amount of RAM and runs like carp, I'll see what I can work out, but chances are I am likely not gonna be able to finish the TF.

Regarding new toons, I too am always up for new toons, I'm an alt-[censored], and have several lowbies that I like on liberty. I would gladly remake one of those preferably either my fire/rad troller or MA/shield scrapper, they're my 2 favorite so far.

I may end up late, I won't know until it's time. I should be there by 8 *crosses fingers*

I'll be there, makin' head asplode!


*BOOM*

I can be there, just need to know what time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lets shoot for 8pm eastern time unless that would exclude anyone.

Also, MX we are just finishing the KHTF tonight and if I remember correctly you didn't start that with us--so I don't think you are missing anything

[/ QUOTE ]

Cool Cool, I thought you hadn't finished the first mission and had to start over though, so I woulda made it if I could. Either way I'll see ya on Tues!

I gotta babysit, so I won't be around tonite .
Wish I could make it.

I probably will not make it tonite, I've been sick since last week and took yesterday off of work, and now that I'm halfway done with work today, I may need to get to bed early to be ok for tomorrow. As long as your not doing anything that will lock you into a double play session, I think I will bank on sitting tonite out.

Last night was fun, it was only Mutie, IC, and D so we did my cape & aura mishes, then the 5th column O TF. We rocked that thing hard. The only problem I see with Numi is that we'd all have to be at least 35 and I don't see myself doing that, and I know DX and IC were 33 when we logged so we might need to put that off regardless. We can try a respec trail next week, xp until lvl 34 for the first one, and being closer to 34 makes it alot easier. We could also do Philipa Meraux's arc, its a Crey story line so that could be cool too, really good story, but it tops out at 34, so we may want to make sure no one lvls too high, or we can ouro it when everyone is able to get on.

Done rambling, gotta get back to work!

Good to hear from ya Doc!

Well as far as extra play sessions, I'm open to anything really. My GF practically works Mon-Fri until about 9 or 10, so I am always in game, however working on different things (currently Working ona Perma Fire/Psi Dom on Freedom).

I've always had a hard time playing redside, but with a constant group of people around it's alot easier, so if we did do a Redside static team, I'm sure it could work out alot better then playing by yourself and trying to PuG it.

But whatever everyone decides is cool with me! I'll be around.
Also if only a few of us will be around tonite, I am ok with taking a night off, I can work on my Dom a bit, or run my Fire/MM on liberty even.

I'll be there, ended up not going out of town.

Tomorrow night I will be late if I make it at all, I have to drive an hour north to vote, (I'm still registered at my parents address), and I have no idea how long it will take for me to actually be done with it. I will try to make it home and on in time to play, but as of right now I'm really not sure.

I may be a few minutes late, gotta run to my parents and don't know what traffic will look like to and from there, should be there by 730, 8 the latest.

C ya then!

LvL 25 and ready to go!

I can also move my WP/Nrg tank over, he's lvl 38 and can zemp til everyone's caught up. Since he's currently not getting any play time.

I will see how far I can get a tank up when I'm done with work. I've got 2.5 hours before we're ready to go. If I can get to at least lvl 10 in that time, then I may look to sk up for Talos. If I can't get to at least 20ish tonite, I can probably squeeze out another 5 levels in the next week.
I'm a little blaster'd out. Made a Fire/MM that I've been addicted to on Liberty, I may need something to change pace.
As long as I can get the tank to 21 by the weekend I can get up to Citadel level by Tues. I've got a story planned out for the tank, and Mutie can be MIA due to the injuries suffered during Blynd's Departure.
