Big Grats both of you on the landmark lvl 50.

Add to that invincible who also reached this milestone over the weekend.

Will the 'society 50's' ever stop ?

One question.

How do you overcome mezzing mobs in human form ?

Do you simply use break frees ?

I have a tri form at lvl 31 and use dwarf for mezzers. I intend to slot damage up when possible to allow for prolonged fights in that form.

Quite a sweeping statement that one

Maybe i will roll a Warshade to show you how they should be played !

As for 'everyone and their brother' playing a PB, IIRC the sg im in seems quite evenly split between the two kheld types.

And as far as I'm concerned..... PURPLE IS A COMPLETELY GIRLY COLOUR !

I have a BS/regen scrapper which only has 2 toggles, combat jumping and integration.
I have the fitness pool and reconstruction, dull pain, and instant healing. Believe me , i almost never need to look at my health bar with those powers. With a large mob size just hit dull pain and instant healing and away you go, with reconstruction for any occasional drops in health, or to assist when DP and instant healing are down.
Most of the time i dont even need to use my healing powers with health, fast healing and integ on.

I dont really believe my build suits pvp, but im not that interested in that anyway for this toon.

Couldnt agree more mate one of the reasons people work so hard to hit 50 is because of these epic AT without them I think hitting 50 for the first time would lose something

seconded

Big grats to Demon on reaching the mark she SO desperately wanted.

So its welcome to Dark starlight......soon to be appearing in a show near you.

Seems like a cool build to me, i think ill copy it.

Just started my pb a couple of days ago, wow !

gotta luv it, and some of that love has to do with the dedication spent lvling another toon to 50 to get it.

left rooney on lvl 48 when COV came out, finally went back to get lvl 50 and with the help of my sg only took about 2 days.
Really wish id done it sooner.

the only way is to stick with your main and team well.
You'll get there if you stick at it.

The only two Click powers from the Power Pools that will work with the forms is Hasten from the Speed pool and Vengeance from the Leadership pool.

Can anyone expand on this ?

I found it on the US forums.

I was searching because im thinking of taking stealth to assist my whole void / quantum strategy.

Am i to assume that if I take stealth and then change to nova form i wont be 'stealthy' anymore ?

My pb is currently lvl 7 and i intend to go full 3 form, using the human form for melee type attacks etc.

The plan is to stealth in in human form, rad strike, then switch to nova and AoE mobs and clear up.

If a void is around, similar to above but single target them until they are history.

Any comments/advice on this would be welcome

I feel really epic, and thats just from 3 hours or so play !

Lvl 50'ed my regen scrapper at about 10 pm last night, and immmediately rolled a PB.

i intended to go 3 form from the off and soloed my way to lvl 6 in about 3 hours.
I think i'll use human for melee mainly to satisfy my scrappery tendencies so have a good idea what powers ill take.

Love nova, and the fact you get a travel power straight out of the box.
especially like the flexibility of 3 form, being able to alter your style according to each situation.

Summing up, in my very brief kheldian life so far id say they are worth the wait, and unlike threads elsewhere suggest, they shouldnt be made available until you have a lvl 50 toon.

Well i am only 3 bars off lvl 50, and can almost taste the kheldian air !

A few good missions with my sg tonite should see me straight into kheldsville to roll my pb. !

Count me in RL permitting

Rooney lvl 49 (50 tonite) scrapper - pet gaze hold.

Big grats to Jackle on being the first Shadow society member to hit 40.

Lvled faster than anyone ive seen before, and given her rate of knots will probably have another lvl 40 before i get my first.

Thought i would publicise frosty's hard work, we now have a website dedicated to our 'society' SGs.

Still almost virginal in content but looking great it now needs all of us to register and swell the site with info to make frostys job easier.

TMI !!!!!

I think defence debuffs do make a difference. And irradiates 30% debuff for 15 seconds im sure will increase in usefulness the higher lvl you get. It also has a quick activation time (unlike electron haze).
But i agree that damage resistance debuffs are important too. Thats why i got enervating field. Although its an end hog until i get stamina, i can see better damage numbers appearing when its active.
My standard attack mode for my corruptor now at lvl 21 is to drop rad inf and enverating field, proton volley another minion next to anchor, and then depending on numbers jump in with irradiate, step back and x-ray beam and electron haze everything else.All this hopefully before my end runs out.

For bosses on their own i tend to proton volley from a distance, then activate rad inf, wait while the boss comes in range for it to fire, then drop enervating field, fire off irradiate and hit him till he drops.

proton volley can be used effectively if you drop rad inf, because even a boss cant hit you so youre not interuppted.

In my experience some powers do not really get going until they are fully slotted with DO's / SO's. I definitely saw a difference moving from TO's to DO's.

So a bit of advice - GET SOME D.O.'s YOU TIGHT BUGGER !!!

My bs/regen scrapper is approachng 50, and mosstly i enjoy the jump in, slash everything playstyle.

However im a little fed up with it now, but i think its because of lvl 50 looming and the promise of a peacebringer more than actual style of play.

I play a corruptor and MM on cov and they bring a welcome change to playstyle, but also provide renewed enthusiasm to my scrapper when i do get to play him.

I guess 50 levels of any toon will see your desire to play it fade temporarily.

I cant answer you with numbers, but with my rad/rad corruptor, scourge appears very frequently when 'arresting' mobs.

The numbers appearing above the mobs heads when i get it, suggest its a bit like critical hit with my scrapper. i.e. double damage.

Not sure when it kicks in, but it does seem to make a difference when a bout a sixth of their health bar is left.

If anyone has more info, id luv to hear it.

I would be interested to see your PB build dimension.

I have a lvl 48 (almost 49) regen scrapper and will start a PB when I reach 50. (assuming being villainous allows it).

I too wondered how my scrappery playstyle would transfer to a pb, and looking at the powers i dont want a single form PB at all.

If you could post here I would be grateful.

Firstly let me point out i have not read a great deal about bases.

however, the design of our base on COV is not being geared towards PvP as yet.

One of our SG leaders put in some hard work to find the exploration badges in a number of rogue isle locations, and as a result we can now travel directly to these locations from our base.
Add to that a basic infirmary and the soon to be added inspiration despenser, and you have an easy to use (i hope), centrally located travel system available to all sg members with the added bonus of easy to find inspirations. Once the infirmary is enchanced our base IMHO will be of good use.
None of the above aimed at PvP.
True enough that base raids are PvP, but as the costs to set your base up for that kind of activity are great, that wont happen for a while yet.

I have a lvl 19 MM and got fed up with summoning and setting up my pets at the start of every mission.

Decided to start a rad/rad corruptor, and love it.

But im not a real altoholic and will not delect my MM.

In fact once my corruptor is high enough i moght go bak and solo a bit with my MM.

Ive been torn between fitness and non fitness builds on my rad/rad corruptor too.

Reached lvl 16 last night and took enervating field.

With rad infection and env. field on, my end is just about ok.

But once i start hitting with proton volley and especially electron haze my end drops like a stone. AM only reduces the effect marginally.
In a team i might be ok, just hit AM snipe the first minion and then simply debuff and heal. This isnt what i want tho.

Sounds like i need to drop some of my intended powers and take the next 3 slots from the fitness pool.

If anyone knows a way round this please tell me.
BTW i intend (and have done already) to slot end red where i can.

There are far too many cool powers to take for me to even consider wasting three of them on the fitness pool

Seconded

Good teams are sometimes hard to find. Especially when you are new and dont know what a good team is !
When i first started on COH iwas in loads of pikup teams as i didnt know any different, and remember loads of hospital trips and cursing etc.
Now in COV i team with mostly ppl i know and when we do go to hospital it is really quite funny.

Occasionally new ppl join and some are good, some not so good. But like all things we were all new once.
My mm is semi retired as well in favour of my rad/rad corruptor.

I was beginning to find summoning andupgrading my pets a time consuming exercise at the start of every mish.

Unlike now where im in and fighting straight away.

My corruptor is going to be my main toon in COV all the way to the lvl cap.

My rad/rad corrptor is great if a little tough to get used to.

My main toon in COh is a regen scrapper and the squishy nature of my corruptor certainly makes life interesting.

I feel better in teams with a meatshield, but like soloing sometimes for the extra challenge that provides. Only lvl 11 at moment but beginning to get some decent attacks and debuffs.
This will by my main in COV, so i guess i better get used to debt.

Oh and accel metab is the DB's !
