right, i respecced him on live now, and swapped 1 recharge on forcebubble and 1 endmod on disp bubble for 2 accs on spec terror.

I must say it pained me a bit to get rid of insulation and deflection shield, but for PvP forcebolt and detention field are great substitutes. For PvE I found out on test that with the defbuffs in I7 disp bubble is a pretty sweet defense.

End usage.. well.. i rarely run out of end. Havin all those endmods slotted in the toggles I dont see my end drop even with fly + disp bubble + forcebubble + MoB running.

I picked group invis cause its a click rather than toggle. With hasten and recharge reductions in GI, I easily got it perma. Hell, I can even cast it again before it runs out. Due to it being click rather than toggle there is no risk of enemy detoggling it, plus an extra toggle means extra end usage. Used to have both sup invis and group invis on stage before respec, and i always preferred group to sup, only used sup in downtime of group and noticed I ran out of end pretty fast with all my other toggles running.

Course, with I7 changes to invis I need re-application if I attack. But most of times when I'm fighting its recharged before I finish the fight so that aint a prob.

Oh, and forcebolt just rules with hasten, its recharged while the animation aint even completely finishes . Commence detoggling!

man i so wanted to be there, curse you mother's day and your family obligations!

I'd say ice/storm or stone/storm, great synergy

dunno what your secondary is, but if its /nrg, just put bonesmasher on auto and wait till the stalker gets near.. you'll be able to hit him with BS before he activates placate.

first rule of Kronos Fight Club...

cool, i'll make mk II today..

btw okt, lil tip, dont slot ice shield with dmg res, it only offers res to cold/fire dmg (15%), while it gives defense to smash/lethal (16.8%)..

oooh, we finally get to team again Ara

dunno bout SOs at tiffany's, but i hear they serve great breakfast there.. so how bout breakfast at tiffany's?

oh and you sure you want recrdx on rest? I would slot it with def debuff.. just my 2 cents

oooh i need that one on stage

if you got a definate date, gimme a shout

Alas I'm on union, though when I7 hits I prolly am makin a thugs MM on defiant cause I ran out of slots on union a long long while ago .

However thanks alot for the advise! will certainly take some of it in consideration. I know bout the aggromagnet I'll become from having experience playing earth/storm, and if sleet is anything like freezing rain... WOOHOO!

Ice storm, well, from what I've seen it always barely damages but that may be a misconception then.

Ice armor, reason I put endmod on it is cause I also have experience with bubbling, and I noticed that if I had to bubble a whole team without endmods I'd be down to little end after the bubbling.

Arctic fog, reason I only put the base dmg res in is, well, I ran outta slots . Seeing it only is 15% base res (iirc) I didnt think it would be worth alot fully slotting. I also got only 1 dmgres on steamy mist on my earth/storm troller so thats where i got the idea from.

Bitter freeze ray, well must admit I never seen it in action but I know opinions are divided. Reason I took it nonetheless was PvP basically. As an opener and followed with normal freezeray it should overcome squishy mez-resist (acro). But I dunno how freezeray recharge is with recharge redux + hasten, so thats basically one of the reasons why I posted my build here as well . Might consider losing that one then.

Glacial shield, well another experience from other chars (ice tank and bubbler). Energy/neg energy defense, especially in I7 with the defbuffs would be nice to have for my teammates I reckoned.

Anyway, thanks alot for the info, will surely take it into consideration and make a mk II build soon

After some more searching I think my OP was a bit premature, seems there are as many stalkers posting that everyone and there dog can see them, as there is posting that nothing can see them at all. My goal with my current build is to build the rock to the stalkers scissors, a proactive hunter, not just reactive. Solo isnt so bad, I can see I might have to find a sniper or scrapper with +perception for big game hunting though and a more reactive strategy.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah, and if many stalkers start using this tactic, it just shows that just like you should be doing now, you have to keep an extra eye out on the squishies. If a stalker got the choice between a juicy controller or a scrapper, I think most if not all go for the troller.

The SH will just have to keep an eye on every teammate and be able to react to a stalker threat ASAP. It's what I do on my ice tank anyway...

- I agree with adding some accuracies to Spectral Terror, especially for PvP purposes, and if you can afford to, a range would be nice too.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll see, have to check what his current slotting for terror is cause it works well in pvp and pve

[ QUOTE ]
- Even for PvE I now slot Flash 3 acc 3 recharge since mobs don't really need to be held for long. I would assume this slotting would also be better for PvP if you want to keep it.

[/ QUOTE ]

3 acc is a bit overkill imo,, even with the acc penalty of flash

[ QUOTE ]

- I find Swift/Hurdle a better combo for squishies, especially if you plan to PvP (and I think J finally agrees too ).

[/ QUOTE ]

well I found health fits nicely with forcefields, as you dont get hit that often you regen health a great deal before you get hit again, plus i rarely jump with stage

[ QUOTE ]

- I find 1 endred to be enough in MoB


[/ QUOTE ]
have to test that out, reason I added alot of endreds is cause forcefield toggles drain you of end like no tomorrow. Even with current slotting I easily run out of end if im not careful (2 endreds on all toggles)

[ QUOTE ]

- Are you sure you really want Mental Blast at 49 if you can't slot it properly? (and you can't fully slot Psi Tornado either). Not sure what to replace it with, but since Group Fly is mainly for Hami raids you could move it to the end and take something else instead.


[/ QUOTE ]

well I took GF at that lvl cause I found no other power of interest to take at that lvl. Im pretty sure I want mental blast as even though I dont have max slotting, it still is an extra attack and does decent damage. I got this slotting on current stage and it does bout the same dmg as spec wounds without the healing back. I would only pick psi tornado and fully slot it if I had means of setting up proper AoE containment, but with only flash I dont see that happening.

But I'll look into the spec terror slotting, already busy with a mk II slotting which you can expect tonight once I get home

jezus ji you n00b... quotin yourself for truth? thats pretty pathetic even for your standards

fill up your tray with awakes

ji, when do YOU learn? YOU are the n00b, not me...

reason i took psi is cause in pvp psi is pretty good as it aint widely resisted unlike fire. Also it gives better than avg mez resistance combined with disp bubble. As said before, this aint a PURE PvP build, thats why I kept flash and group fly, as stage still is and will be mainly PvE. Though as the future of CoX seems to go to PvP I basically wanted to use the FF set a bit more PvP oriented, thats why i respecced Force Bolt and Detention Field back in even when I respecced outta em for PvE.

Might consider powerboost, but I found in RV that psi blasts can rip a villain to shreds in no time. Bots might resist it, but youll just take out the MM controlling them using forcebubble to divide em all.

Oh btw...

slotting blind with 2hold/2 rech reds/2 acc is alo a better combo [/combo]
how is that a better combo than 3 hold, 2 acc and 3 rech?

Thanks for the feedback though

...but the monsters in the hive are Monsters, not Giant Monsters..

well you're beloved union ill/ff troller is finally preparing a respec (gotta use one of those 4 i still got, dont i? ) now I7 is knocking on the door. I used stage purely PvE before, and though I fared well in PvP I wanna improve him a bit. Therefore I bring thee, stage's PvP respec! Basically I just altered my slots a bit and removed some bubbles to replace em with detention field and forcebolt. Btw, I kept group fly for hami-raiding purposes , this aint a pure pvp build yknow .

Comment away!

right, so I'm toying around with a build for my corrupter, lvl 8 atm trying to fit in all the powers I want. My plan is to mainly PvE with this char (hence i took the ice armors) yet want to do some casual PvPing as well (hence the 2 acc in each attack). However seein I ran out of slots way sooner than I anticipated and dunno how the higher lvl /cold powers are (for some reason i only found /rad, /dark and /therm at higher lvls) I wanted to see what you guys think.. so without further todo, heres my current planned corrupter build:

Mainly my questions are:
- did I lose the right powers (aim, frost breath, ice storm) for stamina?
- in the attacks, should I try some slows as well for pvp? and is the little dmg slotting in my first 2 blasts enough?
- how are the high lvl /cold powers? are they really as great as they sound?

o yeah, I come from a line of support chars, so my main function will be support rather than damage (though damage of course IS a good way of support as well )

any feedback would be appreciated

well even if only read the build surely you must be able to see the joke factor

oh and rooks, i cant believe you posted your uber-build, thought you were keeping it secret so we could all bask in your glory as you are pwning everything on your path

....confusing (you know you were waitin on this bad pun, so here you got it)

I'll be up for it as I'm also up for killing the vills on stage as well who can say no to badges? Plus there's a chance im respeccing in detention field (still testing out pvp builds on test) on stage, so if im confused i can keep those blasters out of our misery

Also if vills wanna take on the vill AVs, signin stage up for confusing duty as well . As phil suggested though, we should wait a bit till the zone evens out a bit

prob with me is that there is a probability i gotta work then (cause unlike most others i work in weekends rather than weekdays )
plus i prolly have to be afk for a mo during it to have some dinner (as 5 pm UK time is near dinner time where i live )

I'd love to join with my MM (dr robotico) if you happen to spawn him in sirens, as payback I prolly still have to get his arc on stage and thus I will repay the favor to any other vills

you KNOW i'll be there... just dunno if i can make it at that time cause its bit too far away

ZOMG! ur bu1Ld r t3h r0xx0rz rooks! can i use it? pleaaaaaase can i?

(sarcasm might be wasted on these boards, but dont try to beat the master )

you guys gettin slow these days with 1AT posts
