It's 3 people with perma fortitude if you slot 3 recharges

hmm, as long as you are fast enough (slotted swift/hurdle are playing with a kinetics [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) then this works for almost any tank... even better if you have some AOEs to use too...

there is no substitute for taunt, its autohit, costs nothing, takes no risks and you dont have to wait for upto 2 seconds for a taunt pulse tick over. Sure debuffs are aggro gainers but so is peoples damage. Your gauntlet can miss and your taunt pulse can be late added to the run over to anywhere.

[/ QUOTE ]
I deliberatly didn't mention Taunt as I wasn't saying if this was better or worse than having taunt... just that it's possible for a tank with swift/hurdle whatever slotted to hold aggro by running about.... if they wanted to do it that way.

Any anyway, Are you mind set A or mindset B? [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]
the problem with that question is that... based on your tongue in cheek description of A or B I'm either a by the numbers person or an idiot. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

So, I'll go for MaX's mindset C.

See, another tank can just move next to those foes in a second or two, while stone needs taunt to get them.

Really? And almost immediately lose agro of the group he was standing in the middle of and the rest of his team is firing into? They'd really thank you for that.

I have found this technique possible on an ice tank. With the slows, it is possible to do short hops (1-2 seconds) out of the mob, punch, and dart back in again. Its pretty limited, but it is an option. Its certainly no substitutr for the 5 target auto hit taunt, but I have occassionally have to use it when taunt is recharging.

I agree this does work for an Ice tank, it works better if you have Hurdle and Combat Jumping and fast attacks.

I have life drain on my empath... I would say it's not *that* great, but for moments where you accidentally find yourself at minimal health it's a... hmm.. life saver [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Saying that, my storm/electric had no need of a self heal... couple of respites always did the trick for me

Thursday/Friday is probably good for me as well!

Because the scrapper would be dead after the alpha strike? [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Am happy to stick with it as it is, but if Pyra ends up on the winning team I think she should buy everyone beer and a free icon costume change! [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If we need subs should we try and pick them from people that have been knocked out of 3vP? Also, I assume you wouldn't really replace a controller with a blaster [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

woah - another one??

Gratz Lobe - nicely done!! [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I like it... nicely done!

It certainly has a comic-feel to it

Sorry DB am going to be busy with a SG event this weekend so Gonk and I wont be able to make it [img]/uk/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I can probably do any night apart from saturday and sunday... (can do daytime on those days)

One thing though... and I don't mind if Pyra comes out to play as it makes a nice round 9 people left in... but Red Hot Rock was on one life before the last round and was in the losing team...

It all sounds good FG... although I'm sure the real reason you are holding it is because you thought my party was so cool [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So... what's happening with this? [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Oh, I quite like the noise!

Playing late at night, running around beating up on carnies it proved suitably spooky!

I will be there, but only because you came to mine. Mine was a little more off the cuff I think tho [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

That's what the two accounts are for Dbeaver [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks all... particularly to all those people that TP'd me about for 30-odd lvls [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Was huge fun!

Now finally... must lvl a warshade [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Woohoo!

I know you have had super fun playing the warshade and I reckon you are gonna be sad not to play them... but well done for getting there [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

And in Pink and Green too... [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

How come??

[/ QUOTE ]
Enhancement Diversification (ED) means that when you slot powers with more than one type of enhancement the boost they provide dramatically reduces. So much so that it becomes pointless to slot any one power with more than 3 of the same enhancement.

Basically the first and second enhancement you slot will enhance the power by around 33% each, the third will enhance the power by 30% and then if you slot a 4th you'll get something ridiculously small like 6% boost (and the 5th and 6th enhancement drop off even further..)

(Before ED I think all enhancements provided a set 33%-ish boost to a power...)

I've probably explained it badly so I would advise doing a search on the forums for ED and Enhancement Diversification

[ QUOTE ]
In Freezing Rain i would go for 5 defdebuffs and one recharge,possibly even 6 def debuffs,

[/ QUOTE ]
since ED came in it doesn't really make sense to slot with 5/6 of any enhancment type...

I think I will pick: Save Me - Remy Zero. It's from the smallville TV series so hero related and seems to fit: I was hoping someone would come and save me at about 4am...

The draw:

Eat Static, Max Thunder, OmegaMCX vs Red Hot Rock, Columna, Troke



[/ QUOTE ]
had this match tonight. Unfortunatly Columna wasn't there so Lodestar subbed in his place.

Team of Eat Static, Max Thunder and Omega won

oooh, I have an Ice/Kinetics controller and I really enjoyed lvling her. Sure Jack Frost has to be the laziest of pets but... it was still a good fun set to play.

I've recently respecced her specifically for the shadow shards but prior to that my build was like this:

Level 1: Block of Ice
Level 1: Transfusion
Level 2: Siphon Power
Level 4: Chilblain
Level 6: Arctic Air
Level 8: Swift
Level 10: Siphon Speed
Level 12: Ice Slick
Level 14: Air Superiority
Level 16: Hurdle
Level 18: Assault
Level 20: Stamina
Level 22: Speed Boost
Level 24: Tactics
Level 26: Glacier
Level 28: Inertial Reduction
Level 30: Frostbite
Level 32: Jack Frost
Level 35: Transference
Level 38: Fulcrum Shift
Level 41: Fissure
Level 44: Rock Armor
Level 47: Earth's Embrace
Level 49: Hurl Boulder

I didnt bother with a travel power while I was leveling up...

I took the group immob relativly late because it was a pain with ice slick initially (ice slick makes them fall over, the group immob keeps them standing on it... standing and shooting you)... but I wanted it later on for using after Fulcrum Shift

Ignored the group sleep (flash freeze) and the slow (shiver) as I just didnt really like them...

Ignored repel as I never had enough endurance for it and increase density because this was a selfish solo controller hehe

Went earth mastery because Fissure was just so good for: Run in, Fulcrum Shift, Fissure - great damage!

As for slotting - mostly slot recharge and accuracy and you probably won't go far wrong!

[ QUOTE ]
Absolutely no chance I can make Saturday, weekends are tricky for me unless very late (ie after midnight). I can do tonight (Friday) at 6pm-7pm or pretty much anytime during the week...

[/ QUOTE ]
can make this evening at 6-7pm and I can also make after midnight but I might be sleepy

1. I am going to get Air Superiority at lvl 6 as I figure it will pack a nice wallop on contained targets. However I've noticed the both Brawl and Mutagen don't get the damage bonus from Containment. Will AS get the Containment damage buff?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it will. At the early lvls it's a really nice way to get some damage out... infact, you will hit harder than a scrapper

[ QUOTE ]
2. Is Steamy Mist worth it? I know the +def is pretty poor but what is the +Res to energy etc. like? I should imagine the res vrs. Confuse would be nice in PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]
it doesn't seem that good on my storm defender I have to admit. Mostly I just use it for the stealthy bit... in PvP it can be quite good because if you face people without +per you can almost surprise the nme when your entire team appears out of the shadows

[ QUOTE ]
3. Is it possible to make a Dominator type build? As I said I'm getting AS and could get Punch and then Tough from the fighting pools. IS this viable or just a more efficent way to collect debt?

[/ QUOTE ]
no idea... it sounds like a way to collect debt to me... thinking if you run with hurricane up won't it be hardish to use things like AS/Punch etc?
