Prawnee

Been a year, but I'm back in the UK and reactivated my account, now just need to find a decent pc and I can get back to fightin' crime......

So, High Society still around?

I took stun with Agony Aunt, thinking it would help against bosses, 2 slots in there now, seems to need a few more to be effective, but has potential

I always want to take fly and end up with SS or SJ mainly because of the other powers in the pools (hasten, acro). My main is a dm/inv scrapper, doesn't need mez protection and I gave her SJ just because its quicker than fly (she has SS and hasten too).
If you have the inv secondary, I would say go for flight for now, air sup is really useful in the early mid-gam IMO and you can respec into SJ/SS later if you want to travel faster

Noticing A LOT of Illusionists, Stormies and Fire controllers, haven't seen another Earth/ on Union for ages. Used to see one or two knocking around, never forget the first time I saw one of Lusca's tentacles get fossilised - I knew I had to have one

Shift needs a team around her, but for PvE controlling she is pretty effective, graphics and animations are screen fillers though, and can drag the frame rate down on lower end machines, maybe thats why there seem to be so few around?

Anyhow, the case for Earth/ - Quicksand, Earthquake = slowed, knocked down mobs. Stalagmites, Stone Cages = disoriented, immobilized mobs. Fossilize for single target holds. Paired with Kinetics secondary so team mops up held, immob'ed, disoriented, knocked-down, debuffed mobs while I buff and heal the team.

Next to no damage (until Animate Stone) but for a team based controller, does it get any better?

How do you rate your powerset's ability to control a mob?

Fancy a High Society threesome? I'll bring Shock along, she is now 35

Sorry! Overslept!, I'm online now, not enough time for a TF now though - sorry Larac

Fair comment on stamina OVWyx, my main char, Prawnee had a PBAoE end drain in dark consumption and still needed stamina too - looks like I'll keep it.

Thanks for the advice on the stealthed end drain alpha too, think I was getting carried away reading old, previous issue guides

No problem really, Shock is barrelling along quite nicely, just have to resist the urge to tinker too much if I can, the current build is probably close to the best one for my style of play after all.

Thanks all, see you in the game

Thanks Luminos.

Reckon its ok to drop the fitness pool after power sink? Just got power sink today, might wait till its slotted before respeccing out of stamina tbh. This will give me a chance to pick up recall friend, maybe SS, and possibly stealth too (?) or maybe take short circuit after all - decisions, decisions

Did you not bother with thunderous blast? Loving the nuke, have to say, get it out at every opportunity, keep recruiting 8man teams specifically to take on large mob clusters - ah simple pleasures, watching 8 freaks shake and drop to the floor as your xp bar grows, then running to cover while the team mops up

Cheers for the advice on the fighting pool too, I'd heard it wasn't worth it tbh, fed up with getting stunned and held even with CJ and acro running, though grr. Bring on the epic shields

Hi there,

anyone have an ED compliant Elec/Elec/Elec build I could have a shufty at?

Shock is doing ok as a blapper so far, heavy melee hits, decent ranged, 1 hold, 1 immob and a nuke. When Power Sink becomes available, I plan to respec slightly into a blaptrollery build, making use of the end drain aspect of the elec set, wondering whether its worth slotting end mods in any of the other attacks?

Is it still worth respeccing into Short Circuit, using it with Power Sink, and controlling mobs that way?

Also, I currently run Combat Jumping with Acrobatics to reduce knockback, holds etc when I am in melee (which is most of the time). Is it worth trying to beef up res and def by dipping into the Fighting Pool and taking Tough, Weave etc? Or should I just wait till the Epics are available and take a shield then? If not, I'm toying with a super speeding, stealthed, end draining alpha aoe'ing, melee mauler chick

Thanks for reading, any help/advice much appreciated

10-10.30 sounds cool, my missus knows I will spend all day fightin crime She gave up on me long ago

I'm off work on Monday, would be up for Manticore TF although Shock is only 33 (almost 34), within the level though
Wouldn't mind exemping down to blast through the Enesto Hess trial either.....

Thanks to everyone who turned up, went well, had a laugh, just sorry Sarell didn't get 10times the victor badge. FYI - everyone needs to be on the map when the AV is defeated or they don't get badge and you need to fight her 10x again!

Just off to wash my ears out with soap after Cal Amari's potty talk, very nearly laughed my [censored] off

Wakey, wakey!! Meet at the contact in NW Croatoa, send a tell to Shockette if you need help finding her, I'm online now if anyone is up for a warm up

Thats a tentative 6 man team then, with a couple of maybe's. Ordinarily I'd say we could scare up a couple of pick-ups on the day but I tried on Monday and no-one was interested. Fingers crossed for tomorrow......

If this one goes quickly I'm going to try and do the Ernesto Hess Trial as well, have to exemp down unfortunatley but should only take a couple of hours with the right team

Hey Deluge, we can compare blapper builds, elec/elec vs elec/eng, kick [censored] combos either way

Nice one, I teamed with Stagefright once or twice when Prawnee was my main, does Ice Duke look as scary?

Cool, thats 3 of us then, just need 3 more

I have a day off in the week for once which is great 'cos I can play all day and not get nagged by my missus

I will be bringing Shockette, a level 31 elec/elec blaster.

Level range is 30-34, need at least 6 people, estimated time 1hr (if we are good), rewards include access to the witches hat costume option , a temp power that summons a pet witch , and a badge

So, anyone else off work/studying/laying about around 10am tomorrow morning?

How cool does a human form WS look when stealthed, bubbled and orbiting death?
And WS's get recall friend as an inherent power while PB's have no access to the TP pool.
And everyone and their brother plays as a PB.
Its an unofficial fact that WS's are more hardcore generally as they require greater skill to play, while PB's are usually played by girls, kids, and PL'ers.
*ducks and runs for cover*

I'd like to do this with Negatron, lvl25 rad/rad corruptor. See you there

Individually rad/rads are quite effective, when I team with Nuclear Baggart (another rad/rad), we just rip through mobs. I have been reading about some of the CoH rad/rad defender teams and they sound awesome. Stacked debuffs and AM's are one thing, but these guys are running stacked assault and tactics too, they are hitting the damage cap as defenders!!

All this got me thinking.....anyone fancy a strike force or respec mission in an 8 - man Corruptor team? Doesn't have to be rad/rad, I reckon most corruptor powersets will complement each other. I'm not racing to lvl 40 or anything, but I'd love to see how quickly a team like that would rack up kills/xp, and what it would take in the way of enemies to slow us down.

Nuclear Baggart will be up for it (baby on the way permitting) and I know an excellent thermal corruptor called Fire Fly who I can probably persuade to come along for the ride. That's 3, anyone else (lvl23-26) interested?

I take it you are sending tells to people asking to team? Try sending tells to people already in a team asking if they have room for 1 more. You have /rad so I'm assuming you have Accelerate Metabolism? Most teams would have you along just for that

Our SG has a few 20-something who team fairly regularly most evenings (me included). You would be welcome to join us, send a tell to Negatron or Nuclear Baggart

Prawnee needs to complete this arc, happy to exemp if it makes a difference, she can mini-tank in short bursts, too. I won't be a ble to make the start but if people drop out and you need me, I'll let you know when I'm on
