Although I've played a bunch of other architypes, I have never played a controller before. I have a concept-toon that I am starting up, and would appreciate any build advice from you experienced controllers. I am showing mostly Common-IOs, as I figure by the time I am ready for sets, I'll have a much better idea of what I want/need.

Looking back through the forum history, I didn't see any other posts about this combo - is it really gimp or something?

Thanks.

Can't you use the drop mission feature to auto-complete the first FedEx? Wouldn't that avoid the chained "go see" contacts, and let you get to the real missions?

In order to avoid the tedium of Fed Ex's and the same old content in the low levels, I am levelling up my latest lowbie in AE. Solo, so far, so no farm teams. There are plenty of good low-level arcs available.

I just made 13, and in the process, got a fair number of tickets. Doing random Bronze rolls on the lowest range (10-14?), I got the Steadfast Protection +Def unique, and two Karma KB protection recipes (as well as a bunch of junk that I vendored). After crafting and selling these, I was able to amass a goodly chunk o' influence, and will certainly not be in want for some time!

My other major peeve with the low levels is the lack of accuracy. I HATE missing! It was a great relief to finally make level 12, and be able to equip common Lvl 15 IO's (two each per attack), thus pretty much ending "whiff-fest."

In response to the discussion regarding DO's and SO's, I have found that it is less expensive to go all IO's - badgers frequently sell low level common IO's at really low rates, just to free up their market slots, and it is a whole lot easier to just deal with Wentworth's than having to go all over from contact to contact to open up the origin stores, prior to being able to go to Talos or IP and visit actual stores.

If you add KB enhancements into this power, is the effect that mobs are thrown higher into the air? That sounds like fun!

Back when I was new to the game, and had just visited Independence Port for the first time, I logged out before I saw any 5th Column. Turns out I logged out right next to a spawn point, because when I logged back in there was this guy in a grey suit with a rifle looking at me. I thought, "Hmm.. That's an interesting costume," thinking that this was another hero. Then, the !@#$ shot me!

I was on a team with my Kin defender this past weekend with a Fire tank who was using the Quicksand and Burn combo, mostly to very good effect. However, I seemed to get aggro a lot more than I would have expected - it seemed as if once the mobs got out of the Burn patch, they looked up and saw me hoving nearby and went right after me, even though they clearly had been within the Tank's aggro zone before.

So, does the Fear component of Burn cause a reduction in threat to the AI, and thus loss of aggro control?

Wow - someone Neg Rep'd me for saying I liked Vivace's toon. How sad is that!?

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Actually, being somewhat new to Victory, after a long time on Freedom, I am moving some of my characters TO Victory, not FROM!

With the free server transfers, I want to move my 50 Energy blaster over from Freedom, but the name is taken. Any forum reader have the name 'Excimer' claimed on Victory, and might be willing to part with it? Thanks
