Rintera

ok well, before I type this out. this is for MY widow, which is almost fully IO'd out, so keep that in mind that...not all Fortunata play like me.


My fortunata...is pretty much...well, Aside from when I do TF's, I'm usually more brick-house than the tank.

my holds hit hard, and hit with a wide range, I can confuse an entire 2 mobs due to the purple proc for confusion.

Usually, even purples can't hit me, with the odd hit here and there. my buffs bring the entire team's Defenses up to softcap when they're launched. I have a -recharge/regen debuff on most of my psi-based attacks, and I'm pretty balanced/amazing.

That being said, no....my DPS isn't the highest out there, More than a troller, less than a blaster, possibly less than a dominator's 2nd powerset.

But....I have yet to die aside from the apex taskforce.


if you go fortunata: Don't get psychic scream or psychic tornado unless you REALLY want to. the good thing is, you can run double maneuvers and double assault.

I think it would be fantastic if Widows/Fortunatas got the same alternate animations that psychic blast got...

I mean essentially, our offensive pool for fortunata is EXACTLY the same as psychic blast/psychic assault and mental manipulation, I think we should be allowed to change the animations. pwease?

My Fortunata is almost fully IO'd out(with maybe...one or two purple sets I'm saving up for)

and already had perma-link...which is all I really needed.

Now, I have decent damage, and didn't really run out of end unless I was spamming my AOEs or my normal attacks ALOT.

but I DO run 7 or 8 toggles, depending on if I launch darkest night.

so....I went ahead with the cardiac tree, I figured...why not? it helps ALOT.

and the 20% range from the 2nd tier cardiac boost doesn't hurt that much either, as I'm sure the higher tiers will be significant as well.

Yeah. So far my widow, who was a remake of my blaster, grew in power not because he wanted it, but because the Gefaren circle of mages wanted him to.

Most of my other characters just wouldn't want it...my atlantean MAY seek it if we wishes to be bonded closer to his lady Aphrodite.

I'm debating whether or not my villain(who's a power-crazed imp) would want it...except that she's technology based.

I wish to hear peoples' opinions.

yup, for most people I ignore it, I just always had that my character had a fragment of frigg's circlet that he used to draw his magic from, so I guess that's really the only explanation I can give to him getting stronger in any way.

Ok so me and a buuuunch of people had a big discussion today.

about Incarnates....in RP.

well, yes.....typically, if someone was like "oh hai I'm an incarnate" they would kind of be....overplaying themselves, and potentially submitting themselves towards a more god-mode scenario.



My question to you: Do you RP your character as an incarnate now? did you add an interesting twist to it? or are you simply ignoring it?




For Me: My character has been absent for about a month and a half, In character, I've made it to where he joined a circle of mages that chose members to turn into PARTIAL incarnates. What they do is take a fragment of an artifact that belonged to a god or a diety/higher power, and they forge it into something personal for that mage, and then bond it to them. My character magisterum was crafted a silver rosary out of a Fragment of the goddess frigg's circlet. Because of this, it's just a fragment, yeah he can do ALOT more now than he could before, but I didn't actually write it to where it made him more powerful.


so...discuss?

uhm....


I'm not sure why there's a kinetic crash in tele blast, actually....I slotted mine with the ranged purple IO, and before that, had a thunderstrike in it.


Aside from that, it looks....pretty solid.

Meanwhile further--

In a small chamber, surrounded by candles, a youthful, handsome blond boy arranges multicolored crystals in front of him in various patterns, his violet eyes reflecting the colors.

A voice comes from behind him, "Mika...what are you doing here...?"

The boy turns around, flashing a smile to the black-haired woman standing before him, his fangs catching the flickering candle-light.

"Hallo Silara, I thought I'd borrow your scrying kit...you knew that this was all going to happen, Ja?"

The woman crossed her arms, her blue eyes piercing through the light of the candles, her face cold, emotionless.
"of course...however, unlike you, it isn't my job to protect /humans/ and you know that very well. The others don't care either. It's better to ask the help of Lexander and Lenora, they're more apt to helping your cause..."

The blond springs up, rather perkily. "naaaaa jaaaaaaa Silara. The coming fight isn't a threat to me, but I'd rather not have all those smelly Praetorians invade my personal space....at least not while I'm still gathering relics."

The woman smiles lightly, turning to walk away, "then kill, brother...take their blood into you and expel them yourself."

Mika frowned, walking out the door opposite of silara's, into the outside. Looking up at the sky he sighed. Slowly, reaching up to wipe some hair from his face, he chuckled.

"That's Magisterum to you, Madame Silara...."

and with that, he would proceed to return to the stronghold, his mind eager to test the power of the praetorian forces.

I wouldn't say magisterum really fits into any set HERO stereotype...

He's a bit overconfident, and....uhm...power hungry?

level as a night widow, then make a fort build when you're 40-50

So, with issue 19...close-ish to release.


and Mind control, mental manipulation, and psychic blast all listed for new animations.


How many think that the VEAT Widows will gain access to the new animations?



or, opposit that, how many think we might be skipped over, for our powers not actually being specifically labeled as MC/PB/MM?


Discussion time!

Fortunatas are a mix of Mind control trollers, and psychic blast blasters.

With quite a bit of buffs...that are unique to us, but uhm....so maybe a Troller-Blaster-Defender-Tank.


I say tank because, the way mine is slotted, He's able to swoop in and do alot of damage, very fast, but his defenses are so high that nothing really hits him much.

My main single target attack chain is Dominate > TK Blast > Subdue usually,

but because I have high recharge, I can mix that up a bitt seamlessly.

I also throw in gloom and dark obliteration sometimes, along with psychic scream if I need a bit more aoe.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything....

but if a widow or soldier doesn't have maneuvers, or mind link...they need to be kicked from the team.


without team buffs, they don't bring much that couldn't easily be replaced by a controller or blaster

and my widow is my main.

the whole ENTIRE reason people want me is because my buffs bringing their defenses up 20%, and then mind link on top of that pushing them all the way to softcap, even if I'm still about 20% recharge from perma-link.

I just honestly think...we're built to be walls of moving defense and awesome bufferage(yes, bufferage), and that having a VEAT without those powers is like having a defender that doesn't ever use any of its support skills, or a tank that doesn't use its defensive powers.

no, because VEATS didn't get power proliferation at all, kheldians shouldn't be allowed to have the patron powers :3

alrighty ^^ was just hoping I didn't somehow mess up the game myself.

yeah virtue also went splat on the DB front.

seriously, did it? I was just on a team, mapservered, got logged off...and when I tried to log back in, it goes to the server selection, but for virtue it says cannot connect to DB server.

It's letting me log in fine on the other servers.

anybody else having isssuuuess?

>_>

If they read this they'll know who it was directed to.....sooooooo

If you're going to make a joke on the INTERNET, where people are reading what you're saying instead of hearing it come from your mouth...Try to make sure it's an obvious joke?

You can't intend for people to take something scarcastically[sp?] or in a joking fashion if...what was said really wasn't a joke, but moreso...a normal statement :'D



so anyways, ya'll heard about them servers being down? yup....I'm on FAILBOOK till then >:3

My strengths as an RPer I have to say are...having unique-ish or interesting concepts for characters, and also conveying different personalities quite well....


my weakness, I would have to say...I'm bad at writing longer, cohesive backstories(I write lots of notes >_>) and I also tend to...give every character the same temper, which may be stemming from none of my characters REALLY being human.

the only widows that have redraw between claw and psychic attacks are fortunata and blood widows.

the night widows use their claws with their psychic attacks, so no redraw.

and mental blast is actually pretty dang strong on a night widow, in my opinion.

you know people say blasters are too squishy but mine's incredibly surviveable >_> mainly due to the high defenses from IO sets...but still, and dropping things before they can touch you. :3


I can't..can't...CANT play as a defender for some reason, or a controller/dom. I don't like being a primary support character or a control-only really...I like heavy damage or soft cotrol.

Not a fan of kheldians or tanks either.

Blaster or the VEATS are the way to go for me :3

there's quite a bit of drama ^^; just none that you really see put out there too much.

@Death: Thanks to your advice/suggestions, I also removed a slot from hover, moved some slots around soe some things weren't as heavily slotted with no reason, increased overall recharge, picked up gloom because it's a solid Single target attack.

and I slotted TT: Maneuvers with a red fortune set, which made it more efficient :]
