Sister Psyche is lvl 20 - 25

I know that but still usefull to let people know what level my character I'd like to bring along is even if its just so you know I'd be auto exemped.

I suspect Psygon's comment may have been in reference to the minor error in the first post, rather than a dig at auto-exemps

I'm sorry I caused all this trouble by being an idiot.

[/ QUOTE ]
indeed my post was at the minor error at the lvl range in the first post... it wasn't a jibe, nor was it calling anyone an idiot. I was just being a pedant!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ahh oppsey, sorry about that. Being dyslexic I'm used to taking swings back at pedants

[/ QUOTE ]
swings?! next time take a seesaw

OK, i'll take your word for it...

A big thanks to all the people that helped me get Eat Static to 50... particularly those in The Iron Monkeys (and the Iron Bananas of Doom ), and those that helped with the final push.

Was a very fun journey... chaos certainly rules (though not sure all those PuGs I joined will agree...)

Big Gratz to Max Thunder (AKA Extragonk) for getting another 50 with his chaos tank!

I'm 100% sure that Eat Static wouldn't have survived as long if she hadn't teamed all the way with a tank that loved knockback as much as me

Yay etc

Well done guy - has been fun teaming with you over the last couple of days. PuGs FTW!

Gratz on yuor 50 and enjoy your next

I'd post my screenshot but you moved out of view!!

Gratz to Intellect on his 50!

We've only teamed these last few nights but it has been a fun few lvls and a well deserved 50 Has certainly made me want to play a Trick Arrow defender properly!!

Here is my slightly mistimed screenshot:

Sister Psyche is lvl 20 - 25

Happy to run in and face the alpha and still no CJ and acrobatics. And my ice/kin didnt die from being knockback-ed she died cos everyone shot her :P

(and she rarely teamed with a tank just a couple of crazy scrappers)

My kin defender, similarly, survived quite happily without - she did team with a tank a fair amount I have to admit but I don't think CJ or Acro would have saved her either really...

It might make a difference but I don't think you "need" it

If you want haste or CJ+acro, you may as well get a proper travel power and skip IR.

[/ QUOTE ]

hmm, I would actually take IR over SJ any day (unsurpressed movement ftw)...but since you "need" CJ and Acro you have to take SJ so might aswell skip IR

[/ QUOTE ]

fiddlesticks :P You can do fine without CJ and Acrobatics

I assume this will be a team oriented build, so I'd consider dropping spectral wounds for blind and let the team do the damage while you do the controlling.



[/ QUOTE ]
You would drop illusions only way of doing containment damage? Seems silly to me.

[/ QUOTE ]
Blind's a very useful single target hold that's well worth having and I can't see anything else in the build that's as readily droppable as spectral wounds in order to get it in.

[/ QUOTE ]
do what I'm doing and just don't take a travel power (Ill/Empath to 32 so far... walking all the way)

Frees up the choices somewhat

[ QUOTE ]
That's just from the respec trials of my various characters, which I suppose does have a tendency of collecting more odd builds.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
What possesses these people to create such characters? Your guess is at least as good as mine.

[/ QUOTE ]

If they were on the respec then they know there were problems with their builds.

What possesses them to make toons like this? Not everyone has a hero builder or reads the forums to find out what powers to take and how to build their toons... They just take the powers that sound cool.

Yes they make mistakes... but people shouldn't look down on them just because they've made these mistakes.... from what you've said it looks like they were attempting to do the respec to fix any problems

(and I'm ignoring the idea that some may have been concept based toons...)

we started the eden trial at the same time as the group that only got 1 ambrosia and managed to get 30...

We also had a fair proportion of the team auto exemped, only 2 were actually lvl 50 tho - the rest were mid 40s...

weird tho..

Well I gave my HO away, but was nice to see Hamidon taken down again... was beginning to believe it was only a success when I wasn't there or that people were making up tales :P

Yay!!!

Well done Proc!!

You worked so hard for this - very well deserved!!

this happened to me the other day as well!

I was pleased tho as it relegated a non 50 to mid way down the list and shuffled my 50s to the top

ive lasted the duration of the coh EU launch to now and forever without AP

every single player should have absorb pain it's the greatest!

ooooh, time to put brawl back on auto and go and have some fun!

One thing that is slightly puzzling is didnt you see me and others on our team shouting random stuff up on broadcast? Or... did you just think it was another sign of your slightly loopy team mates??

heheh Proc

One thing as well... if you ever get around to alting you will have to enable it on all your toons

replying to myself...

Tried some of these builds out in sirens for like 5-10 mins yesterday... have to say the fire/ice blaster was a lot of fun ... real shame I don't have any of the slows in the build tho

If you are keen on having Hasten in the build perhaps you could drop combat jumping and Superjump and take superspeed instead. There is always the possibility of putting in Inertial Reduction at a later stage which would give the vertical movement. I admit this means you would lose out on acrobatics... but might be worth it to get assault and tactics in there...

maybe:

01) Transfusion
01) Charged Bolts
02) Siphon Power
04) Lightning Bolts
06) Siphon Speed
08) Hasten
10) Swift
12) Speed Boost
14) Super Speed
16) Hurdle
18) Inertial Reduction
20) Stamina
22) Tactics
24) Assault
26) Transference
28) Short Circuit
30) Tesla Cage
32) Fulcrum Shift
35) Voltaic Sentinel
38) Thunderous Blast

5. I have delayed taking Speed Boost as I am getting RSI from spamming it. It's a bit of a drag for full parties every 60s. Wouldn't mind if it was just the tank. Also I speed boost everyone and they run off to the next fight and start it before I get there! Thoughts please. I am currently speced with it and will probably get it again I just want a few other powers first.

[/ QUOTE ]
I would still take it but just don't spam it. It can be just as useful a power used reactionary - and the frontline of your team will still love you for it, even if you don't spam it like the majority of Kinetics defenders do (I have arthritis so I know where you are coming from with the difficulty spamming this power all the time!)

Other comments would be that I think you might have a slightly harder time soloing now - ball lightning is a cool power but doesn't do a huge amount of damage and does generate a fair bit of aggro

Tesla Cage is great - definitly get that and slot it.

Acrobatics + CJ can be pretty good - especially since you will be in melee range a lot using short circuit/transference/transfusion etc

Once you get fulcrum you will start thinking you are a god

well thankfully I have no plans to do anything drastic... particularly not until I've at least taken this toon into PvP with the current build to at least get a feel for how she operates and what I think about being a blaster.

Fortunatly most of the powers I've asked about dropping I actually have in the build so it will be good to see what they are like :P
