controller pets

the great thing about superior invisibility is that you get to lead your pets into the middle of the mobs instead of them running off some where else, i found phantasm would some times just sit behind me other wise while i was being attacked

[/ QUOTE ]

Yea.. I have noticed that myself. Sometimes I've had to move him closer or move somewhere to get him to notice. My PA I've had no problems with (according to that PA bugchange we have), I can be where up to 84yards away (even up in the air) and they still respond to me.. overall I'm having fun with it.. it's turning into a lil AV/GM killer.

[ QUOTE ]
hmm dark melee sounds cool


but what armour or whatever ?

[/ QUOTE ]

me and chelsea was just talking about both, hers was DM/DA, mine was DA specificially

[ QUOTE ]
She

[/ QUOTE ]

sorry

what she said .. my apolygies xx

[ QUOTE ]
i'll tell you what dark/dark has.
The ability to stun ANY AT even tankers in granite with 1 shot.
The ability to heal over 60% of its hit points every 10-20 seconds.
The ability to detoggle regens intergration.
The ability to hold nearly any AT.
Resists which in PVP are better than defence what with all the tactics and FA floating about.

And if you can't see those you need to look REAL hard.

[/ QUOTE ]

what he said

[ QUOTE ]

The energy resistance (fully slotted) is 23%, which is worse than a dominator with 1 slotted charged armour. It's nothing to be proud of, anyway. Psi only comes from defenders in PVP, it's a negligible threat.


[/ QUOTE ]

And Mind Controllers, and other wantant Villian PvPers in Warburg. Bigger picture needs to be seen, not just Heroes Vs Villians, but Villians vs Villians as well.

35.10% ay 3 SO, iirc.. it's not 23%, thats it's base unslotted value.

"Murky Cloud - in example.*

[ QUOTE ]

The fear output is hidebreaking, innacurate, and endurance wasting.


[/ QUOTE ]

And, not very much rezzed to, and SR scrappers REALLY hate Fear, as they don't res it at all, nor do regens for that matter.. what AT does res fear in PvP ?

[ QUOTE ]

The elemental and S/L resistances are, again, worse than patron pools for the non-melee (although by a lesser margin)


[/ QUOTE ]

again.. 35.10% 3 SO slotting.. and.. he wont have them PPPs till level 41+ and iirc Stalkers don't get that armor (if that's what you're referring to).. so PPP aren't an issue, here.

[ QUOTE ]

Hold? What hold?


[/ QUOTE ]

Was an error onmy part.. i was looking at Hold res (hey it was like 1am in the morning... can't get it all right, when I'm flipping through posts.)

[ QUOTE ]

Much as I love /dark on scrappers and brutes, I (personally) think stalkers don't survive as well the low resistances, and the tools are not much use when they break the crit chance. OG would cause HP drain, and while ruling out squishies, would leave tanks + scrappers untouched.


[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

The only 2 powers I can really see being of use are shadow dweller (never having to bother about other stealthed players or immob) and Soul Transfer (mag 36 stun on a big ganking group of heroes would be fun)


[/ QUOTE ]

Would Soul Transfer be worth using in PVP? same really goes for Revive on a Regen.. both seem.. woefully unused and not needed, in PvP conditions, just go back to the Hospital.

[ QUOTE ]

Mucking around with the fighting pool and CJ, by 3 slotting everything you can get 17.6% melee and ranged defence, 65% AoE, 53% S/L res, 35% elemental/toxic res, 59% psi/neg res, and 23% energy.


[/ QUOTE ]

Fighting PP isn't needed imho if you slot/playstyle it right.

You're a Stalker NOT a Scrapper.

Melee/Ranged::
AoE:: 37.5% DEF
S/L :: 35.10% RES
Toxic:: 35.10% RES
Elemental:: 35.10% RES
Psi:: 58.50% RES
NRG / NEG. NRG:: 70.20% RES

[ QUOTE ]

Problem with this is it means powerchoices are VERY hard to come by (In my DM/DA build, which doesn't touch the final 3 powers for DA, I can't get my patron until 47, too many choices)


[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed, powerchoices are a problem.. but with a lil thought you can do it, and you don't actually NEED PPPs.

[ QUOTE ]

Much as I hate to say it, for a first PVP stalker EM/Nin would be a much better bet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed there.. but still anything with ?/Nin works.

[ QUOTE ]
Tbh Linx, Dark claws isnt the best mixture for pvp.

[/ QUOTE ]

mmmm.... anyway...try a dark first Coston

think about its fear res, fear output, NRG res, elemental RES, mob healing, PSI RES, Holds, Disor, and in the right hands its DEFO got PvP potential, considering it has high numbers for it's res as well as, other lil tweaks, making it just as much as capable any other AT, if structured properly; it might not be UBER.. but it'll still do the killing just as easy.

Dark, imho is very underestimated in PvP by some.. and that.. is a mistake.

[ QUOTE ]
I like it, although lose the hat, and have flowing hair instead

Mara Jade anyone :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Mara Jade ftw!

[ QUOTE ]
Do the temps from Siren's Call have any attack powers that might be solid candidates? Maybe some of the top-tier powers?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really.. and all but two are 30min timed.. so after 30mins.. even if not used, they disappear.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Nice texture look on the boots and face.
I love that light saber tough.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thank you

[ QUOTE ]
2 points in my opinon:
*The picture resolution: jagged lineart makes kittens cry
*Character pose a little stiff
Seriouly good stuff all round.

[/ QUOTE ]

Noooo the kittens again! Comment noted, agreed. I wish I'd saved it before I converted it into a *.jpeg, I could have saved it by adjusting the lineart opacity!! I'll have go around the all the lineart now to sort this. Anyway comment appreciated

[ QUOTE ]
Is it me or are you getting much better at this? ^^
Keep 'em coming...

[/ QUOTE ]

I hope I am ^^

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you are and I'll even add you to my DA watch so I can keep track

[ QUOTE ]
hey raz
more than my fair share hehe, levelling a rad/rad i have great hopes for atm, don't think she'll be able to take on multiple opponents like siren can but we shall see

[/ QUOTE ]

well.. if you ever need a target to test her on.. gimme a shout

[ QUOTE ]
It's like an empath taking absorb pain instead of aid other. They both a heal a target in trouble but one is so blindingly, obviously designed for it that it's madness

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed.

[ QUOTE ]
Is it me or did someone just **** in here?

i say that cos all your how to get by without taunt so far offers no one any potentially nigh on guaranteed safety and i like potentially nigh on guaranteed safety.

[/ QUOTE ]

hey.. thats why they invented Empathy

[ QUOTE ]
hehe np, bare in mind thats just an educated guess darksiren has a massive slef heal but in those situations she only seems to get minimal debt (when the player is actively trying to get her to stop boasting about how great she is of course ) so that is the only way that makes sense to me

[/ QUOTE ]

hey hun

still kicking [censored] in Siren's?

[ QUOTE ]
Whaaat?

At least now I have it. Ive finally joined the ranks of "a real tank". At least now I can lay at rest any teammembers worries about my resolve of keeping their squishy behinds safe and protected against their own incompetence by just having them look at my bio...

(Truth be told, whenever I myself am on any of my squishier alts, the tanker having taunt DO put my minds at ease.)

So, why not earlier..
Well. Only time it is an issue is when exemplared, and I dont do that very much... except when visiting PvP zones.. and there are other powers that would serve me better at those occasions. Like being able to avoid detection, (invisibility) travel, (fly) or actual attack powers.
You know, to hurt the opponent.

[/ QUOTE ]

fair nuff

[ QUOTE ]
Well, after about 2 years on CoH ive decided that im finally quitting...so heres my good bye and i wish every single one of you (except Ragnarak) a good life and i may see you another time some how id like to say many thanks mainly to Rahxephon whom ive had the most fun with and my best mate in gameAlso a good bye to the LLOD-NBR Coaltion who have been the funniest ever(Including you rag!)(Anyone that knows me well may ask for my MSN off of Rahxephon) Good bye all and keep up the good work!!

PS... if any of my characters are in your SG, kick em

[/ QUOTE ]

bye hun :'( will miss you... keep in touch, yea..

[ QUOTE ]
What did he use, paint?

[/ QUOTE ]

looks more like a photoshop blending job.. possibly using gradiants.. nice work regardless

[ QUOTE ]
i just used a respec... i took taunt at 49....

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
My oppinion of taunt is to get it at lvl 10.

I think every tanker can handle all the aggro at that level that they can generate. Doing the respec tf with Ghostmaker (my lvl 26 Inv/Axe tank) recently I was taking most of the aggro when allowed to with only yellow SO's in my shields (proably equivilant of Do's in effectivness) we did have 2 team wipes that I remember. One was caused by a second group being aggroed and me not realising until too late as I was trying to consolidate the aggro of the first group so it was me the players fault not the tanks aggro handling abilities fault. The second in the reactor where I just couldnt cope with the number of mobs about which I would put down to a lack of damage and knowledge on the team.

I would say that I coped ok with limited defences although Raz may be able to provide an objective view as he organised the respec.

[/ QUOTE ]

Considering what we was upagainst You did remarkable well. Kudos to ya.

[ QUOTE ]
Id rather have taunt and not need it, than need it and not have it...

[/ QUOTE ]

Well said.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
As soon as humanely possible.

And if you are an invun tank, take it at 10 or you wont be worth much to a team.

[/ QUOTE ]

How come that applies just for invun tanks?

[/ QUOTE ]

Cos ya not worth much till 18 without it:P

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed, and from personal experinece of Tanks, I'd say get it as early as you can, but overall, for the other powersets, only get Taunt when YOU feel, you can cope with the aggro you will attract -- if you have backup Empath/Kin-heal all good take it at level 10, but only if YOU yourself feel you can tank and cope with it...

Taunt on a tanker is a powerful ( if now rather nerfed ) power.. and shouldn't be underestimated when tanking with it, it can kill you just as easily as save your teammates.

[ QUOTE ]
If your in the tight hold group, the amount of AMs and SBs you get on you is enough to take you to the recharge cap, so I don't really think you need to worry about recharge SOs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed.. I think tbh, lag/miss-depending, at least 1ACC/1REC/4HOLD shud nearly do it, as we want to keep him held as long as possible, considering as LDF said, with the number of buffs, and debuffs going you should be fine, a lil "extra" help from slotting just gives the holds an "edge" should the "always 5% chance to miss" ratio kicks in. ( or for some reason CoX konks out and does something weird. )

[ QUOTE ]
Has anyone tried using Coolant Belt temp power from respec trial on Hami? Or the 2 temp powers from Hydra trial also could work on him as they do on Hydra head.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's unlikely that thermite plasma is dangerous to Hamidon and he'd have to be from another dimension for the particle cannon to be effective. Hamidon doesn't display enough connections to the Rikti to suggest their heavy weapons would be effective against him.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hamidon isn't related to Rikti or any other form.. specifically he was [SPOILER:: human .]

Those that have done "The Terra Conspiracy" story arc, will know well about Hamidon, and his ties to the Devouring Earth.

[SPOILER:: Tanya knew Hamidon before he was the master of the Devouring Earth. She told you that the creatures were probably created by a sentient bacteria Hamidon developed, a bacteria he called the 'Will of the Earth.' .]

The Temps from the Eden Trial do not work either.

They are specific HIGH yield res to the DMG the Crystal Titan does (saves healing alot and fast).

Also, because the Sewer Trial is 38-42, and only up to 42 can u claim those temps, there is no 100% guarantee, you will retain those temps, levelling to 45. So I'm afraid such an idea would have to be written off.

As far as Shivans go.. well.. they would only do -DEF RAD damage to Hamidon (if anything), as well as just lag out the zone, and annoy him/give him something else to drop.

Overall as far as Hamidon goes, he is something else entirely, compared to the rest of the mobs in CoX.. he is.. for lack of a better word, unique .

If I can get my level 33 Illusion/RAD Controller to 45 before then, count me in.. otherwise as I said on EVO Global, I'll catch the next one

Tried Psy, didnt work, i say its the flashbang kings row temp powers from level 5-10

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, you need the Isolator badge from Outbreak - it'll allow you to one-shot him, I swear

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe ooo.. ooo maybe.. .. Isolator (when used as a title) uber-boosts the effectiveness of RAD Defenders and Controllers, turning Hamidon, into radioactive mush

[/ QUOTE ]

And if that ever works, I'll turn up to the next convention dressed as a Prinny...

[/ QUOTE ]

you better hope it don't work LMAO -- knowing this game.. anything is possible.
