I would like to join with my blaster Cosmic Protector level 17 energy/energy

Gratz scar. Those pictures were excellent you really deserved it.

Aye it seems Katana is best in the long run, err kinda confused with the first choice of abilities, Sting of the Wasp, and Gambler's Cut :S
Also, about what level did you stop having to wait for recharges + never press brawl again? :P

[/ QUOTE ]

I took sting of the wasp and then flashing steel at level 2. I also got divine avalanche at 8, these 3 attacks were my attack chain till I got to 18 it isn’t great for damage and you will have some gaps but if you can get to 26 you will be glad you stuck it out. If you really hate gaps in your chain you can take gamblers cut and respec it out when u get soaring dragon.

I have played both claws and katana and I can say they are both a lot of fun to play.

Katana has a lot more damage compared to claws, the early levels can be a little tough for a good attack chain but when you get soaring dragon and golden dragonfly you will have a great chain.

Claws isn’t as good as katana for damage but what it lacks in damage it makes up for it with some control through knockdown, which can be very useful and it also has a very nice ranged attack (focus).

You can’t go wrong with either set but in my opinion claws is more fun and looks cooler.

Would ice epic be good for a pvp ill/storm?

I was thinking that hibernate would be useful for end problems as you can use it more often then conserve power and the shield is def so would work well with the acc debuff from hurricane. Also the blast is fast and has good damage.

So would it work well in pvp or is primal the only way to go to do really well in pvp?

There are a few things I would change:

O2 boost – its not that great might be best to drop it for something more useful

Snow storm – 2 end red and 1 slow/recharge is enough

Freezing rain – 3 recharge, 2-3 def debuff and 0-1 end red would be better slotting

Tornado – it’s nice to have in pvp

Aid self – you should slot this 3 heal 2 int 1 recharge.

EPP – I would change to primal it has some nice powers in it for pvp. Power boost is great to have and power blast would give you some extra damage.

You may also want to put 3 jump in hurdle and combat jumping for good combat movement.

DVS has been very quiet lately.

What would you suggest I pick as a primary then?

Don’t really want to go with energy again.

I’m thinking of giving stone brutes a try but I don’t want to get to granite and find myself getting bored of it fast like i did with tanks, so I was hoping you guys could answer a couple questions for me.
I was thinking of going with dark melee as the +end and the build up aoes seem like they would be useful and I was wondering how good the damage of dark is?
I would also like to know if I would have a good attack chain in granite?

Didn’t know that, how much does it increase it?

this is basically AT's current build with a few mods, found it hard to fit in sirens song, had to loose shriek, but shouldnt be a problem once u get a few stacked siphons, your atack chain should be nice and full.

oh ingnore when powers are slotted, i just use the respec planner is all.

[/ QUOTE ]

A couple of things I would change about this build would be to replace the end reds in your attacks with another acc as sonic has a –acc on it and with transference you shouldn’t have end problems. Also the fly’s in hover aren’t really needed as with stacked ss you will have enough speed. Finally does the slow in ss make a big difference because that slot might be better used in another power?

Players have been suggesting it for a long time and they still haven’t done it.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh - one other thing - as we're filling up fast I think we should come up with a rule for number of alts and move the others to the other SG we bought.....

I'd suggest no more than 3 toons per person in the main SG? We want the active ones in there though so people should be able to chop and change around easily.

What do people think?

[/ QUOTE ]

But all my toons are active. I usually just switch between them depending on what I feel like playing that day.

Why won’t they let it be an account per slot in a SG?

I picked claws

I started a regen stalker yesterday and was wondering how well they survive in teams. I know regen on scrappers is great but stalkers have less hp. Does this make a big difference? I would also like to scrap after I AS how well can I do that as a regen?

Wouldn’t the –def from RI be enough to counter the –acc in the sonic attacks?

You won’t need conserve power; with stamina and QR you shouldn’t have any end problems.

Shockwave is an ok cone but I find that I just annoy everyone when I use it.

Laser beam eyes are a nice ranged attack I would keep it.

Here is my planned build for atomic siren would like some feedback on anything I should change. Btw this is not a RSF build.

Great as ever Jon can’t wait for the next one.

[ QUOTE ]
Err nope - villains mate - In fact the timings might be a bit off - can try tonight and then perhaps do some more on Thursday? - Oh btw - new base should be done Tues PM as I'm on a half day. (though I suspect it will take hours and hours!)

For the RSF just grab yourself a fresh set of shivans mate and a tray of 2/3 Purps and 1/3 Reds

Couple more builds here (thanks for the comments Jon - will adjust accordingly )

First my alt for this evening - a rather nice looking Thug/FF - will prolly keep this chap and level him up as a handy raider to cover all the lovely /Rad corrs you're rolling (you are rolling /Rad corrs right? )

I don’t know much about stalkers but I do know claws and unless this is a respec build I would strongly suggest taking focus at 18 and eviscerate at 26 as these are your 2 main attacks after AS, so you will be gimping yourself a lot unless you intend to do hit and runs.

major will be there [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Have had great fun levelling major and I would like to thank all you lot for helping me get those levels.

Now I need to decide on what will be my 6th 50 [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Here is a HO list , not sure if the syn-o's are the same but its all i could find.

ok its yours just remember me if you ever get a damage res and end cost [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

iirc i have a tohit and def buff and recharge HO which you can have if you need it?

I don’t know much about sonic blast so I’ll leave it to someone else to advice you on it, but for kin I have a few suggestions:

Transfusion – remove a acc and the recharge as I find in most pve 2 acc is enough and with stacked ss it should be up when you need it. You will also want 3 heals in it.

Siphon power – again 2 acc is enough I would also suggest removing some recharges unless you have no where else slots are needed as I only have 1 and find I can stack it a few times which is enough imo.

Siphon speed – you want to slot this 2 acc and 3 recharge as with this slotting u can get 3 stacked which will give you almost perma hasten.

Speed boost – you want 3 end mods in this, recharges are not needed as it recharges pretty fast without them.

Inertial reduction – you don’t need recharge in this as it is perma out of the box.

Transference – I went with 2 acc, 3 end mod and 1 recharge as I like to use it for draining bosses and elite bosses.

Fulcrum shift – that is slotted nicely some people may suggest only 2 acc but I like 3 as you really want this to hit.

Increase density – this doesn’t need recharges as it recharges fast enough without them.
