not if i detention field / hold / terror you as usual

(remember tp can still be used when u r held, too).

ehhh you sure? you can tp if immobed, not when sleeping-held-stunned-feared because those mezzes prevent you from activating ANY power (including tp)

Right, I been playin my stone/stone brute for a while now (lvl 33 as im writin this) and thusfar I love him. I took hurl boulder at 26 to have another attack and cause of the -fly aspect. However, it's becoming quite a disappointment these days. When I use it, the animation time is so horridly long my target often is dead before it finishes the animation. The -fly doesnt always knock a flying foe down and the damage is pants to say the least.

What I'm planning is, is in the next respec get rid of hurl boulder and pick fault instead. First didnt think it was that useful doing 0 damage and only knockdown/stun (iirc) and knowing most non-troller powers that apply a mez status it often is a weak one.

However, now I got tremor I found what a nice crowd-control power it may be, especially as I dont plan to be a perma-granite build, I like my damage/recharge too much . Now for the runners i used hurl boulder for, seeing the animation time was so long they often ran far enough by the time I threw the thing at em, so it was no use to keep em near me. Also got TP foe and think thats a bit better to keep em in check although it has a slow recharge and seems to miss a fair bit.

My question thus is, does anybody have fault and can comment on it? Mainly is the animation time and effect feasible to swap it for hurl boulder?

Oh, little extra info, I team alot with a fire/kin corrupter, so end cost / recharge aint that big of a prob most of the times

gravity well is a decent hold, it can hold quite a bunch in PvE, however like gonk said it cant get a protected player, just like a single controller hold isnt enough to get a protected player.

Also the main reason why stalkers are annoyin to get a lock on as trollers is that most of them got a defense based secondary, so first there is the issue of hitting them, and if you hit you need to overcome mez-protection. The defense makes stacking annoying and if you dont hit fast enough they just go back in hide and then you have to find them again.

was fun during the fight, however what got to me and killed my pvp spirit for the day (which I also let the people involved know that night) was that after the majority of vills left the good ol' complainin bout heroes ganking villains was re-instituted while there were no complaints whatsoever when 15 mins earlier the vills outnumbered the heroes greatly and basically did the same. After which there came complaints bout 'cocky' heroes, vills griefing etc etc... really a shame when stuff has to end this way.

havent tested it on MMs, but on my troller it offers some pretty sweet mezprotection

can pretty confidently say that it doesnt have a -fly aspec, i use it tons of times on my MM and never have i shot anybody out of the air with it.

aye, gravity well is a pretty weak hold, even when i play on my controller I can barely get a hold on stalkers cause they got some great mez-resistance, hence why I pointed out you werent fighting a proper stalker-build/player if you could hit them with gravity well. Not implying skill or whatsoever, its a simple numbers game

btw, bout the miss-miss-miss, i seen the same on inky aspect, but I dont think you see the misses if you cant see the stalker.

well yeah with noobie i meant either too low lvl to have decent powers, or just people who gimp their build

i play nef mostly in dwarf and I only got recharges on mire cause i want it up ASAP. You only have a downtime of 1-2 secs before you can launch 3 attacks again (strike-smite-strike) and with hasten this is minimal. Of course you are fked when people spam slows on you, however no amount of recharges can fix that.
The heal could use some recharges though, as it charges pretty slowly. Yet the heal is pretty good (on nef I heal bout 350ish)

if you can see em with cloak on, they probably werent running both hide and stealth, as with both you cant see em with just shadow cloak. Also I'd doubt you could put a hold on em when they got mez-protect running, sounds to me you fought some noobie stalkers

grats jummy

you still owe me that fight with stage as well

im in the elec/elec and thugs camp as well.. but thats just cause i love brutes and MMs

chances are you'll see alot of elecs and thugs, and bout 75% of em die before they hit 20.

must admit stage does perfect in RV with his forcefields

yeah, nemesis always are an AoE-er's dream

also have the 2nd or 4th difficulty set as they increase mob size.

personally I dont think 2 accs are needed on blind, blind already got an +20% (iirc, not sure bout exact number) acc bonus, combined with rad's def debuffs, 1 acc should suffice. Also seeing it recharges pretty fast, especially with AM, I'd slot it 1 acc, 3 hold, 2 recharge. Pre-HO on stage that was my slotting and never had probs

i agree with what doubs said, especially the acc on mire, dont slot it for damage as it barely damages the mobs.

For your dwarf attacks, I'd say swap the recharge in smite and strike for nother acc, you dont need recharges if you got hasten running (at least i never felt the need for it).
Also put some more slots on dwarf drain, slot it with some recharges as you want it recharged asap.

bobcat is only given in tina's arc and maria's arc.. not in solo mishes

(btw, first mish of maria's arc is "find the dead scanners" where you fight chimera iirc)

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I think she gives you all the AVs once (Apart from Tyrant, anti-matter and bobcat) outside the arc, then gives you them all over again, except anti-matter, in the arc.

[/ QUOTE ]

edited for accuracy

also you notice you're doing the arc cause some mishes got 2 AVs in it and some dont have any AV in it

grats mate, glad i could be there to help

ooh ooh! sign me up for warwall defender!

not sure which to bring, either:

Character name: Stagefright
Global Handle: @Stagefright
Archetype: Controller
Powersets: Illusion/Forcefield

-or-

Character name: Lady Earth
Global Handle: @Stagefright
Archetype: Controller
Powersets: Earth/Storm
(depends if I can get her to 38 before that time as she's only 36 right now)

...I do love controllers ...

*deleted due to me being a moron/tired and checkin wrong forum *

it may decrease the chance of a drop per single use of bolt, but dont forget I can easily spam it on you

And yeah it was a shame bout the singletarget shields, especially with defbuffs comin in I7

there are also some tsoo mishes given out by your contacts in 30-40 range, so dunno if its worth farming
