Good work done by the tank team today, it was fun working with all of you again, even though we had a rough start we still powered through.
Thanks for organizing this raid cap pitty about the broadcast spam.

The more the merryer, seems like we have plenty to make 2 teams so far

Oh well if no one has a place for me, i suppose i can show up on the day as a sub

OotCS = Order of the Cruciform Swords.
No need for a request invite at the moment cap since the channel is open to everyone just need to rejoin using the join channel feature.

Kinda getting annoyed with this chat channel bug problem...thing

Hey Omega, I have a lvl 18 dom with confuse, so if you need help setting up heroes in BB you know where to find me!

[/ QUOTE ]
Awesome although its usually best to have 2 dom's it shouldnt matter too much since as long as im confused i can help with the confusing too.

Good point was thinking the same myself, perhaps 6pm on sunday instead?

Well i thought i already had this one but it turns out im only half way sooo hopefully if anyone else is interested im up for organising a group for hunting down 1000(500 ish in my case ) Longbow for that shiney Reformed badge, which also gives folks the special opps gladiator badge aswell.

We will be using the easy go method of going to bloodey bay and getting dominators to confuse us where we then proceed with mass beat downs, or if we cant get any dom's to help we can fall back on the go to warburg and just confuse each other. So if anyones interested just leave the name of your character and archtype that you want to have the badge for and what day's your available for.

Liz gets my vote hands down.
Although i havnt teamed with your granite brute yet i bet its as awesome as your elec one.

ill be up for helping out too, theres still a few heroes left on my hit list.
I can help any day and anytime except for saturday's untill 8pm with my mastermind.

Wooo i fit the mold , can count me in with my Robots/dark mastermind who has vengance too

(X-16 btw)

Sounds like a good laugh, Sadly not seeing many of the swords online these days so looks like ill be a gun for hire. if anyone wants my Mastermind or controller on a defiant team give me a shout.

Forgot to say that my mastermind is a better team player robots/dark. But my mind/empath can do well in teams too.

Omega will be there to help with the tank healing team again

Phase shift does stack with hide, for those without hide a stealth+ phase shift combo would actuall equall invis so if you use stealth, phaseshift and hide you would have a good bit of invis there.

Take a recharge out of tarpatch its not really needed and put the spare slot into darkest night since its pritty expensive endurance wise.

Replace health with Swift, health isnt worth having on a mm and you would get a better survial rate from a better unsurpressed movement both speed and jumping wise.

Change a fear to a recharge in fearsome stare.

Take the range's out of teleport and put one slot into the protector botts and slot it with an endurance reduction since the protectors run out of end easily. While you put the extra slot into assult (endred) since this build is very end heavy.

An extra tip, i would drop the pulse rifle blaster and put the slots into more usefull abilitys like the dark servant where the best slotting for it tends to be 2acc, 2rech and either 2 holds, 2 heals or 2immo. Pulse rifle although fun is not needed and draws too much aggo to you maybe take darkest night at 4, equip robots at 6 and then take a pool power at 8. To fill the gap of pulse rifle you could take teleport team, its a pritty handy power and you wouldnt need to add extra slots to it leaving you with 4 slots from pulse rifle to play with.

Your likely to of got almost there and some stalker comes along and pops ya. There is no level of unkindness that wont be stooped to. Id be like "wow no one stalked you now that is impressive". Not tarnishing everyone with the same brush but you only have to ask one person if they'd do that to someone and get yes in reply, reasoning its a pvp zone, many people dont ask if you wanna pvp they just take an opportunity. Probably a very fun experience for those willing to try and still a great thing to succeed. You just gotta hope for or have the nicer people to be around.

Heh reminds me of last night where i thought just for a laugh ill try and solo an AV on my mind/ empath troller, altough i wasnt making much progress damage wise, i wasnt getting killed either. That is till 2 corrupters showed up and tried to kill me, which resulted in me being slaughterd by mako since i was pinned to the floor and couldnt jump away.
After mako kills me i read on broadcast "sorry didnt know you where fighting mako" well i wasnt i was fighting Ghost widow and with her flashy powers it was a bit hard to miss that. Although i wasnt too fussed since another hero came along and finished them both off only to be done in by Ghost widow and mako. we all ended up having a good laugh about it since well it was funny that we all ended up floored.

In fact, I'd like to see a lot more large-team tournaments. Maybe Squished but 4vs4 next time? With more players the tactics tend to be a lot different, and powers like the captures (sonic cage, detention field) are a lot more balanced rather than being damn-near "I win" buttons.


[/ QUOTE ]

Im likeing the sound of that 4 man squished teams maybe timed instead of domination and also no 2 same archtypes or powersets on the same team would be interesting to see as well.

Ive seen a Mercs/trap mm with a heavy take on both manticore and back alley brawler at the same time. He tells me his secret was loading the heavy with insperations, sadly you cant do this with any other archtypes.

What can i say it was a damn good event and despite how annoying it can be to be caged during a match i still find them a valid tactic. The only thing i couldnt stand was the god awefull amount of ice blasters that where in the event...

I do find PVP slightly dissapointing sometimes, I'd love to see running battles through the streets of the PVP zones etc as some of these zones are intended, but it seems to degenerate to duelling, PvE only or running around each other with travel powers

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing wrong with duelling, just dont like how most pvp in zones tends to go the way of one side hideing in their base.

It's worth knowing that any foe that can drop a pet will, while confused, drop a pet that fights on your side. This effect lasts only while the petmaker is confused but it can be used to great effect. With some enemy groups, even a single confused liuetenant/boss can do severe damage to their allies. (Cabal bosses in Croatoa are the best!)

[/ QUOTE ]

I love doing it on rikti communication officers, they throw down that portal and all those newly spawned rikti will be on your side
Dont forget frostfire too, always fun confusing him he has both the ice and fire controller pets

Generaly depends if your leaning towards a pvp or a pve charcter.

PvE wise everything in mind is simply awesome.

Mesmerize- a powerfull single target sleep can put boss lv minions to sleep with one application and is dead handy for the early lv's although tends to be slotted for damage in the later lv's.

Levitate- An not so bad damageing attack, however its it secondary affects that really make it shine. It nocks flying opponents out the air and the knockback animation makes for a good disruption to the opponents dps.

Dominate- Second best hold out there based on casting speed and strength.

Confuse- As said before brillant when used on enemies that debuff, buff etc nothing better than getting free buffs from your opponents or you could use 2 applications on a boss and have them help you take out some of the mobs about.

Mass Hypnosis- Brillant startoff power but i myself would not use it anymore for PvE since youve got 2 other AoE's that can the job better. That and all to often you can team with others who will use one big AoE or cone that will knock off the sleep youve just used, only really good when your a team that knows how to benefit from its use's.

Telekinesis- Damn good power, sadly stupidly expensive too however very usefull for taking up to 5 people out of the game once you learn how to use it right. I myself tend to combo it with Confusion, where for example i confuse a warwolf boss from the council since those guys do insane damage and then using his help i would clear the mobs about using tk to push him into other groups. :3

Total domination- One of your best alpha's, holds everyone except for boss's and gives a nice safe containment setup, pitty it dosnt last long these days...

Terrify- Great when combo'd with Total domination since you use that first and if you have slotted fear for damage you can use that and benefit from that freshly setup containment that you just used. Also the fear duration is pritty decent without fear slotted in terrify.

Mass Confusion- just like confuse but AoE, an awesome power that and you can alternate it with total domination as your alpha.

As for Kinetics it makes for a good complimentary set with Mind thanks to Transference which help with Tk's and a few other mind powers expensive nature.

The only power from Kinetics i would suggest on not getting is repel sadly enough since it has tendancy for getting you too much aggro. Not much of an issue solo play but in team play, not the best of ideas in a team where you have spawn sizes for a group of 8 people. That and it mess's up peoples AoE's and cones plus your own (fullcrum shift). What i mean is that say you have a nicely grouped mob where you can just target the center of them and hit them all easyly with your power, if you use repel and run into them all, that will pritty much ruin that prime oppotuneity to hit everyone at once since they will get flung all over the place with possible chances of aggro'n other nearby mobs if one of those people thats just been sent flying turns out to be anchor for another power.

As for travel power, you dont need any since kinetics gives you both siphon speed (super speed for free ) and inertial reduction (super jump for you and anyone nearby you when you cast it). However there should be room for fly if you really want to have it, just dont use it in combat unless its hover.
Well hope that helps you with your power choices, would have said all the kinetics ones too but i was feeling lazy, just make sure to pick up speed boost people will love you for it especialy stone tanks.
