it was really just a quick production, nothing fancy. Used Fraps free version (locked in 30second recording blocks) and compressed down & re-edited using Windows Movie Maker.
These are the defenders who have that build posted in a previous thread...
preferred Offense string - Soul Drain, Sleet stack, Aim, Ice Storm, Blizzard (other casts Heat Loss to counter nuke end suck). Depending on how many mobs around you, the other can pre-cast Heat Loss (needs about 16+ hits) and will OVERWELM the Nuke's -Recovery, and the nuke caster will INSTANTLY start recovering up their end...
questions about dualboxing, i get lots of PMs about this. No, i dont use any 3rd party programs to sync powers/movements. Its done all manually. Two keyboards, two mice, two monitors, two boxes.... yeah, i dont think a program would work effectively EXCEPT in a real controlled situation and about 2 powers would be used. Ive tri-boxed before, but that was pushing my level of multi-tasking and ingame effectiveness. There's some that farm go up to 6-box, but those are pet users and wholly reliant on the pets to react. That wont be feasible for every normal situation. Despite skepticism, ive excelled in MSTF's & MITFs, and had led a successful MKTF dual-boxing.
Anyone can do it, some naturally better than others. Just got to have the ability to multi-task good and have a strong situational/environmental awareness and prioritize. In the end, its PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE -
second thoughts - only thing that needs to be retweaked is dropping Aim for Frostwork. Aim is kinda good, but the primary damage isnt predicated on burst damage, but DoT. Aim effects DoT till the end of its own duration. And when you're working an attack string to crank up the overall DoT damage, Aim's effectiveness kind of gets lost. In the end, Aim's contribution to damage isnt that much with this type of setup. Frostwork is better served for survability....

posted for those who were interested in the past
the IcePHIREs' prob will suffer a retweaking to a more supportive stance to make room for future Ice/Ice Corruptors offense build who will be the new mains
Prob will drop out Soul Drain & Aim for Frostwork & Infrigidate. FW helps yourself out and other squishies in "Masters" situations, may save a team reset or 2. Infrigidate is helpful to break down defense, slow/recharge vs AV's too....

heh - genius thread....
no one's done a music thread yet?
<---loves almost everything but hardcore rap and country music.... and i do have some hardcore rap lol
Mostly, i listen to Metal, Alt Rock, Industrial, and alot of different electronic styles (techno, trance, dark electro/darkwave, future pop)
Fav artists - Sarah Brightman (ya know she did a small cover on one of HIM's songs - Join Me In Death), HIM, The Prodigy, Muse, Placebo, Tool, Metallica, VNV Nation, Mindless Self Indulgence, Avenged Sevenfold, Apocalyptica, Atreyu, Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, Lucuna Coil, Otep, Arch Enemy, Kittie
here's some bands i'd like to bring to the front -
ARCH ENEMY (Angela Gossow proves that metal isnt just for males, women can bring in Power, Energy, Strength, & stage presence - Otep's been doing that for some time though). I played some of her music at work and peeps were like, "That's a chick?" Ok, she does NOT use a distortion microphone...
I want her as my battle maiden & goddess... my Joan of Arc

cool interview, screams in the end - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKuRDDy5GSo
group interview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC_gZ0U8hlo
Always been fond of the "prettyboy" / "crossgender" look, back in the day of David Bowie. Glam rock had progressed in different stages, and Japan seems to like to "radicalize" american media, and twist it into their own. Funny thing, in anime/manga art you see perfect-looking peeps w/ crazy hair-do's and extravagent fashion..... its REAL!
Prob the style that stands out the most is "Visual Kei" style, japanese extreme version of "glam" pop/rock style, where the males are very feminine/adrogynous styled. The stand-out group of them all is MALICE MIZER, a Jrock band basically. Mana who is basically the visual & costume designer, bassist, and musical composer, is reknown for his gothic-victorian styling, and is credited to the Gothic-Lolita movement, and have modeled his own fashion in many magazines. Most peeps mistake Mana as a female model in fact :P Gackt was their lead vocalist, and also a very beautiful man, though sticking to a more masculine style usually. Malice Mizer is a band you definitely want to watch live cuz its basically a full-scale theatrical production....

Quote:ummm wait..... you're old enuf to go to a bar?!?!?!?!?You must have understood my last message. I came back from the bar when I wrote it. I'm not mad at all... and what I ment on IO satution was Heroes were recking the crap of the villains because most villains awhile back weren't spect out. Im not if you were around at that time... but Me and few other were only ones that had are toon spect for PVP. I can say this cause I PVP all the damn time. I guess pop your brakes to you kind sir. Again why are we talking about teh past? and what group use to be? can we talk about what going on now?
-
lol, and the smacktalk cometh outeth!!!
Talk the talk in RV and let that walk begin!
Let the best players prevail..... -
Quote:having a rez ability when your primary doesnt provide one is completely your prerogative, but not neccessary. Your teammates wont hold it against you if you're not able to rez through your primary. Being able to rez as a defender is a nice thing. Ive always carried extra rez's to hand out if/when a teammate falls. The game makes it easy for rez's to be made on the fly by the dead person too....I have been doing this character for awhile and I have an idea of what I want my problem is the power selection is what is kinda holding me back.
I would like to have Medical for the Rez ability I feel all defenders should be able to rez.
And the electrical Epic pool seems like a nice choice.
Nice AoE attack/stun and good armor along with a second hold with shocking bolt.
And I was wondering if people could post a few SO's builds so I can get an idea of what people are working with.
Using the Physician dayjob power is the best idea sinced slice bread, for those non-rezzing primaries....
as for power selection holding you back - the Medicine pool using 3 unneccessary powers will be holding you back severely -
same here - just waiting for GR, if it ever plans to come (within 6months?)
-
well, if you rolled a -resist debuff Def......
i believe that Archery has a higher to-hit bonus in their powers than other AT's, that'll help some. I would max up your single target damage attacks. Though its lethal, which is a common resist to have, it does pretty good damage, Blazing Arrow has a nasty fire DoT which starts adding up if you got serious recharge going. I'd stick in a damage proc in your Tier1...
Your aoe/cone attack is on the low end of damage really. The only time you're gonna see respectful damage from them is when another char throw down some -resists. With this thought, i'd highly suggest slotting Damage procs in them....
make sure you're chaining Rain of Arrow + Explosive Arrow together for the best 1-2 bang -
Quote:i strongly agree with this.... all my cold defenders have Dark Epic.... it'll crank your location damage to da max! Dark Embrace is a perfect match w/ your Primary's Def/Res coverage. I think Soul Drain buff sucks up to 6 targets for + damage up to +104% damage for 30 seconds... That buff duration matches perfectly w/ your location DoT powers. Unleash an Aimed Ice Storm on top of your Sleet and you'll be doing brutal damage. Stack in Blizzard and its game over....I would actually recommend Dark Mastery, more so if you like to run into and out of melee (which I assume you do to take advantage of Heat Loss). I say that for several reasons.
Between Dark Embrace and Arctic Fog, you are now resistant to every damage type (sans psi). Build up some defense (through set) if you like, and you'll be a tough-ish squishy.
Layered on top of your resistance, Oppressive Gloom is pure and simply, awesome. The HP loss isn't unmanageable, and the instant-minion helps a lot. It's better when you have another stun to stack, but it's still good mitigation.
Of course, the PBAoE +end and +dmg/to hit powers are also really nice bonuses. I've yet to actually try out Soul Transfer, but am looking forward to using it with my dark/rad defender if my team ever wipes. Instant team-restart in two clicks? Heck yes.
Anyway, I hope that helps... just my two cents.
IO slot in Psi Resists to cover that prob -
Quote:yeah, cant wait at all....... heard its going to pop in the 2nd quarter of next year! By the end of it, it could be 6months! Ugh..... Would really like to work on a pair of GR'd Ice/Cold Corruptors.....I think that most of you are missing what wll make Going Rogue the second best thing they either will add or have added to this game (Right behind the SSK system and just in front of Common IOs):
It will open up both teaming opportunities and all game content to every player no matter what AT they want to play or side they prefer. Combined with XP while Exemplared and enhancers that never go bad, it really doesn't get any better than that.
That, and Dual Pistols. Heard that the video at Hero Con made it look like it was straight from Equilibrium! -
Quote:yeah, unfortunately alot of things are not fair in life, but thats just the way it is sadly.....That is something that annoys me. There are a lot of common words that would be great for a superhero concept and then down the road you find out that there is some super obscure little hero/villain that showed up in one panel of one comic book and so it can't be used. Or, I've seen people complain about this on other forums- you create a toon and then a year (etc.) later there is a character that is created in a book/movie that has the same name and you get gen'd even though you were using the name first. Doesn't seem fair.
mostly, when it comes to possible copyright infringement, its in their best interest to remedy that immediately (and so covered in their ToA), or face a possible sue by the offended party. So yeah..... much easier to forcibly change a character name than being monetarily bilked... -
lol popcorn time tag!
heh, introspectively, guess some of us are guilty for our excessive snarky and sarcastic comments. And it hurts a bit when you're at the end of it. I know ive done my share on the Defenders forum.
Despite frustrations, ive learned to backspace crap that would be recognizable as "hey, this is gonna make me look like an A-hole in front of everyone!" - cuz it doesnt do anybody ANY good but pisses people off at you, despite the "intent" of the message. There are always more civil ways to convey a message in more acceptable means.
im gonna have to say there was no snarkiness in either posts.... :P
the first post poses a strong opinion, and everyone expects that out of Felecia.
nevertheless, its an opinion that doesnt step on anyone's toes. Maybe its an opinion that omits ALOT of GR-added material in its consideration, but thats her opinion w/o snarkiness :P -

Quote:sorry i didnt bother to study all your screenshots - i pretty much grazed over the thread and just wanted to post a CG reply... i do appreciate Kahlan's straight answerHey now, dismount the drama llama, I just thought it was funny because both our UIs are visible in the screenies
whats even more laughable is your ability to patronize a well-wisher with your superiority complex.... -

generally yes, you'll be able to tank pretty well....
take in mind that -acc will affect AV/GM's much lesser than wimpier mobs.... -
Quote:hopefully there were some participants in this. If not, its kind of understandable. The post was less than a week old compared to the participation date. Doesnt give much time for some teams to truly organize and/or practice. Hopefully next time there'll be more time given to organize and figure out the right teamage for a strong challenge.OH CMON YOU CHICKENS...
bawk bawk.
All have you people know ive had 8 tells from OTHER SERVERS wanting to post times... Dont let them make CHAMPION look bad.
When i told them we didnt have $ on the other servers they all have said it wasnt about the $ it was the challenge... some of them are even old champion server players (or so theyve said)
cmon! Champions represent!
Also, alot of peeps had ALOT of RL events going on around Halloween weekend..... -
took a look - fun project...
keep having fun and GL -
great accomplishment!
I take it both corruptors were Cold Doms?
now only if defs can crit strike....
