well I would say sell it.....but.
if you buy a bunch of LoTG recharge procs, that sell for 180mil per recipe....craft them, sell them for more....
which only cost 2 A-merits, wouldn't you end up with more money than you would get from spending them all on the 3% defense proc and selling that?
I dunno....I would sell it, but that's just me...and I have no A-merits ;_; -
Although I know it probably won't happen....
-power customization for VEATS(if not color....then alternate animations...I mean, fortunatas use psi blast, so why can't we change out stances.)
-Asymmetrical costume customization(like....having a shoulder pad on just one shoulder, and not the other...etc.
-New hairstyles(we're lacking in short hairstyles...that aren't REALLY goofy looking.)
-unlockable attacks that aren't temp. powers(like...craft a gun and be able to use it without it running out.)
-defeat badges/accolades/whatever adding enemy group costume pieces(more so...like carnival masks and stuff :3)
-Judgement slot judgement slot judgement slot....please? :3
-Vehicles! (like the magic carpet that was promised to us in the magic pack but was never released/previewed.) -

ahh that's what I was thinking....Aether.
OH.
yeah, Energy/spirit/whateveritwantstobecalled.
>_> I think I'll make an air costume...because I know fire will be the most commonly done for this CC -
OMG :'D my name's there! SQUEEEK.
uhm, for elementals...are we limited to those? are we allowed to use the 5th element of metal? -
VEATS team better than the hero epics because that's what they're themed around. Arachnos is a military, they're meant to be together.
Also, ever done a TF on a team of 8 VEATS?
2 night widows, 2 fortunatas, two banes, and two crabs....OR 4 crabs....holy crap.
I finished an ITF SO fast from all of the AoE and defense and the boom boom pew pew POWA!

Monday: February 14, 2011.
I am tired, aching, and broken...but not really. I did nothing all day, I sat in my apartment, cooked dinner....am eating a donut right now....Updating mah twitter...
uploaded my 365 picture today.
Went to see a movie with some friends, though...that was just OH SO FUN.
I also was browsing around on Ebay for some new boots...
what a boring way to spend a valentines day -
Hello friends, family, and people that I have a fiery passion for, whether that be good or bad.
It's your friendly neighborhood--
erm.....It's Magisterum!
I just want to take the time to clarify some....things on this lovely day of love.
I....am a vampire.
Yes, a vampire....no, I don't sparkle...and I don't want to rip apart every human I see....I do not smell like a corpse, and I'm not brooding over the doom that will be immortality.
You see, I was actually only recently turned. Before I was just a mutant, a run-of-the-mill psychic mutant with latent regenerative effects.
my parents were magicians, and I made friends with this chick who taught them their spells, and she was helping me train.
well, story is....apparently I pushed the limits of a class 4 psychic and tried to journey into class 5, which started to destroy my body.
In order to save me, she took a needle and stabbed it into my neck, injecting me with her friend caspian's Vampie-blood.
THEN YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID!? she snapped my neck....killed me. boom.
and then I woke up and was all like :O!!!
anyhows. No, I'm not emo....if I'm ever brooding it's because I have gas or something silly like that, or a headache....or I could be hungry, im ALWAYS HUNGRY, have a horrible sweet tooth and a craving for pickles....am I preggo?
anyhows...no, I dyed my hair black because I got sick of the blond, and I cut it because I...sort of caught my head on fire. and I mean....come on, I'm not even that old! I'm a pretty fricking young vampie, so it'll be centuries before I'm a whiney brat like all those old-fartknockers.
also...I am not a prostitute, those rumors are completely false.
sooooooo if ya'll have any questions, you should....like....post them here and I'll answer them!
[[This thread.....is now is little blod >_> keep an eye out RPers, he may blog about you! because he....like myself, has no life.]] [[Also, feel free to post IC questions for him to answer]]
-
everybody loves kinetics....extra recharge, good buffs all around.
I enjoy sonic because as a fortunata, I lack heavy resistance.
Cold domination is actually one of my FAVORITE support sets to see, great armor buffs, great enemy hindering.
I also, of course.....enjoy Rads to be on the team, and if not rads, empaths.....
oh and....I guess you could classify fortunata teamwork as a support set.
but overall favorite= cold -
my fortunata is a vampire, so....It's not really hard to make him look interesting. His normal form is just a pale human.
His vampire form is a disproportioned, gray beastie.
my friend's night widow, however...is werewolf themed, but he doesn't look like a wolf in his uniform. -
if I may, suggest you to the SG "Empire of Atlantis"
They're a very respectable, great RPSG blueside that caters to all beings that originate from or are affiliated to the sea.
from sirens, to merfolk, to atlantians, to sea nymphs. etc. -
Not the "" around hold....I know it's not a hold. Learn to read context, please.
I know about Mez and the effects they have...but what this person is asking for is something that's just as powerful In-combat as it is defensively.
That being given, no, I don't use scramble thoughts often, so it may be that it'd be better off skipping that, taking aim, and using the slots in Scramble for another AoE
Total domination IS an optional choice, yeah....it can be useful to some people, and not to others. For me, I use it when it's up to subdue mobs and then move to another mob and confuse them.
I guess It all depends on playstyle. -

I was really, really hoping to see Silas weigh in on this... maybe if we say his name 3 times in a mirror he will appear...
I think the best Fortunata is a ranged support Fortunata... BEHOLD!

Listen to Silas... Silas knows...
Total domination is an extraordinarily useful power with 5 lockdowns and the smashing damage proc from unbreakable.
Also, his slotting for dominate isn't the best way to max out damage/recharge for that. 4 basilisk gazes will give the +recharge and 2 normal damage IO's will have more damage output than slotting decimations or other sets.
He also overslotted TT: Maneuvers, 4 slots is all that should be needed.
and scramble thoughts is useful for not only the set bonuses, but because it's the best single target "hold" in the entire game, if you use total dom., scramble thoughts, and spam dominate, you can hold elite bosses and with the help of another control-type, can manage to subdue an AV if you're lucky.
-nodnod- -
well, I'm not going to post my build.
but, While....I understand you want killer single target abilities, You'll be most useful on a TF if you're ranged-based. If you get into the middle of some harder TF's, your low HP, even with extremely high defenses may fail you.
Also, I've been....respeccing my build over the months, constantly improving it, and I have yet to find a way to have both excellent single target, as well as AoE.
I'm not sure if it's the way I'm slotting, but Forts don't get access to very good AoE's, aside from dark obliteration, soul tentacles(but that's a cone.)
Psionic tornado is fun if you put the FF proc in it....but that's a very situational power.
I do reccomend that you get and slot out soul tentacles, it's recharge is excellent, allowing you to use it alot, stacking the damage.
and yes, recharge is a big thing.
5 LoTG recharge procs, some purples are useful.
Definitely take darkest night, and 4 slot it with dark watcher's embrace, gives extra recharge and it's a lovely debuff toggle.
uh.....well, aside from that, I'm not sure what to really say....my fort's still missing some sets here and there, and he is already great, haven't died once on a TF.
OH, 5 slotting aura of confusion with the contagious confusion proc in it is fun
-
They can't get APP's just like hero epics can't get the PPP's.
Sucks, too, because I'd love me some pyre mastery ._. -
ahh ok, so 5 posi blasts with the gravi proc will do just fine?
anybody have a suggestion as to the 2nd "AoE" I should have? Should I keep psi tornado or should I drop it for dark oblit or...potentially psi scream.
I only have enough slots to allow the actual AOE attack to have one slot. -
ok so.....I've decided I like tentacles a little more than dark oblit because the damage output(although slower because of DoT) is higher, and a group immobilize is useful for someone like me, who constantly stays at range.
I'm unsure of exactly how to slot it though....
I was thinking either 5 ragnaroks, with the chance to hold proc from Gravitational anchor.....
or, 5 gravitational anchors with a damage IO in the end.
gravi is cheaper, and would make the immob. last a lot longer, but the ragnarok almost doubles the damage output for it.
I'm unsure of what to do with it :\
On that subject, I only had room given my powers for one more AoE, and I seem to only be able to slot it with 1 slot, because....all my slots are spread out to other powers.
right now I have psionic tornado 1 slotted with a FF: chance to recharge proc in it, but I'm wondering what would be a better combination given the tentacular extravaganza -
you're going to want to take both the TT:Maneuvers and the leadership pool maneuvers, as well as both assaults.
your main purpose on a team, is that you give them incredible team buffs, AND can hold your own.
Set bonuses....yes recharge is important, however it's a very simple possibility to go well over softcap on your defenses, AND still have enough recharge for perma-mind link.
My fort has perma mind link without hasten(I hate...HATE hasten.)
and alot of teams like me, because coupled with my mindlink, and both maneuvers fully specc'd out, I can raise an entire team's defenses to softcap. (yay for squishies)
as for dark oblit vs. soul tentacles.....I personally like dark oblit, because it deals ALL the damage at once, and in high level teams, low DoT doesn't really do much....
HOWEVER. I believe...that, if like me, you fight at range, Soul tentacles can actually be useful, although the rest of the AOE's you have access to are a little gimped, I have dark obliteration and Psi tornado. With psi tornado having the FF: chance to recharge proc in it. adds 100% recharge on use sometimes, which is fun.
but a group immobilize is useful, IF you actually manage to immobilize the group. -
Best?.....maybe
Most versatile? Definitely.
I can successfully fill the roll of a soft controll troller/dom in minor situations....
I can actively dish out as much damage as a corruptor(defintiely not as much as a blaster.)
I have WAY above softcap defenses, and softcap my entire team's defenses.
Can't be held, stunned, knockbacked, etc.
Recently got up to 30% smashing/lethal resist which helps. I have 72% Psionic resistance so psi enemies can't even poke me.
There's been a few situations where I'll rush in ahead of the tank, hold the entire mob/AoE bomb them or confuse an entire mob(contagious confusion FTW)
I don't know about best....but none of my other 50's compare in how adaptive my Widow is. -
I don't have it slotted on my brute yet.
but I have the FF chance to recharge proc on my Fortunata's Psionic tornado(one slotted....extra power YAY) and It works quite well....
I mean, it does only last for 5 seconds, but an extra 100% recharge for any ammount of time is good.
It's also a relatively cheap proc. -
Quote:yeah...although I'm beginning to wonder if I made my character TOO strong.Originally Posted by Kiana Wolf
Heh, yeah. I try to keep my snarky comments fairly sparse for that reason. Though I have a few personal jokes I wind up using nearly every time I team up. (Though never all on one mission.)
My favorite? "If I say something stupid, I blame X." Where X is usually something that happened on the last mission. Most frequent? Head trauma. Especially if she winds up floored more than once in a single mission.
Making jokes in her downtime about getting horrifically injured (being a Regen and all) is her way of coping, though. She insists to herself that the injuries aren't serious so she doesn't freak out over some of the stuff that happens to her. My other characters have different ways of coping.
Having some sort of character flaw is a must, in my opinion. Even if a character isn't very powerful, if they don't have flaws... Then they're just kind of flat.
like I don't...play him as godly, but he's telekinetic, and also has super strength.
a lot of people seem to thinnk tat's super overpowered. Although I constantly do get threats from non-supers saying "I will kill you" or "you can't kill me" which I find hilarious >o> -
yeah SS/SD is fantastic for me.
I went with the energy mastery though for the extra endurance help.
I have enough recharge on him to be able to effectively use SC and FS in succession.
untill you get it IO'd out, end is a huge issue x_x
but Cardiac also helps quite a bit. -
I like light roleplaying...I also like dark roleplaying....
I do like....more light-hearted, humored stuff sometimes....but not so much the people who make it almost...TOO much like themselves, where they're spurting out memes and going all willy nilly(to me, a hero or villain wouldn't...do that, even in downtime.)
uhm.....I like when characters have a critical flaw too. Like my main's critical flaw would be his Temper, and his recent addictions. -
uhhh.....got my defender from 48-50 on friday(finally ._.)
Got my fortunata Finally fully IO'd out into his new super build.
Got my brute from 1-33(although....if I wouldn't have kept logging off/taking long breaks, I probably could have gotten him into the 40's)
over all....I wish I would have pushed harder on my brute xD
so from now on my plan is....2 levels a day on the brute, and then farming on my fort to save up for the brute's build. -

I'll try my hand at giving you some advice... I've got a Fortunata sitting at 50 on Virtue who is requested by name for a lot of Strike Forces/co-op Task Forces because she excels in ranged Psi/Neg Energy damage, fully softcapped defense to all 3 positions, and her full assortment of team buffs. She's also capable of helping with debuffs, has a nasty AoE chain, plenty of recharge, perma-Mind Link and near-perma Hasten (I find the 5 second gap just enough time to remind me to hit Mind Link again). If that sounds like what you want, I'll make some suggestions.
My Fort build has -no- Melee. If you want to go Melee, you'd be better off respec-ing into a Night Widow build. Keeping a mixture of Melee and Ranged makes you a decent Claws/SR scrapper with some Psi blaster capability, but you're not playing to the AT's strengths. The ranged single-target attacks are all quick and let you blaze through tougher targets' HP bars like a Fire/Dark Corr through a group of Council lackeys. Those are just my observations though.
I also took the medicine pool with my Fort... Defense is awesome, but against AVs or big groups of defense debuffing enemies (Paragon PD, Cimerorans), you'll appreciate not being locked into your attack animations as you zip away, pop Aid Self and get back into the combat seconds later with your defenses restored and your HP quickly refilling.
So, enough jabber... here's the build.

Edit: I also went Cardiac uncommon for the End Reduction and the secondary bonus. I think range? I can't quite recall.
not trying to be rude...but I fail to see how this build is requested for TF's.
Your defenses are not up to parr....
My widow's build's recharge is only 8% less than your base recharge. and I didn't take dart burst.
But you should have total domination, and you took leadership, which shouldn't really be needed if properly IO'd out(considering mind link ups to hit.)
I also find it interesting on your slotting choice in dominate. 2 damage IO's and 4 basilisk gaze work much better IMO.
although I have to say....you do have an advantage using medicine...I didn't take it and I think I might respec to have aid self, in the case that my defenses do fall.
