Tip: at least put 2 End red in each leadership power , it helps. tactics 6 slot with a to-hit set that you like and manuvers however you like it . assault of course just the 2 end reduction as there is no sets for it. good luck.

dont forget oppressive gloom uses your own health to power it for every tick per enemy in the pbaoe. could hurt you if you dont pay attention. otherwise /dark is good. Personaly i went with /electric you dont have to worry about end and Lightning reflexes is indeed a nice boost to recharge.

for masterminds:

Rad Emission ( Please will bring cookies ) ( yes i know the devs probly wont but i love rad )

Brute:

/regen
Spines/
Broadsword/
Katana/

Doms:

Dark/dark
Illusion

Corrs:

Illusion/

and anything else i cant think of right now. :P

what i think kelds should get in place of the pools is more slots , im shur everyone agrees Kelds are slot starved, so give us more slots instead of more powers , nuff said.

try a team of 6 Veats each with their built in Tactical training ( e.i. Leadership ) the entire team is capped for: Defense to all , Damage cap ( or real close to it ) , and the To-hit cap.
I did this when they 1st came out so we maxed the difficulty of our missions and proceeded to mow them down rather quickly. all we had to do was stay close to each other and let the carnage commence. only took us a few days at 3-4 hours each to hit 50.

but each to their own have fun and enjoy whichever AT you end up choosing.

I had 3 slots dissappear on me and a few others i know on Triumph Server already /bugged it in game.


DEV's? can we PLease have our slots back ( Holds 1 Chocolate Chip cookie on end of fishing pole just out of reach. yes i know thats Evil im a Villian hehehe )

their Search - Fu is weak and it is very easy to get someone else to answer with the correct information , ( amid all the other comments to swim through till you find it of course. )

finally a good guide for the Earth/Rad troller. I have mine at 50 already , i solo'd him the entire way and barely have to hit the rad debuff toggles ( i now only reserve those 2 powers on EB's and higher). 1 thing i did do is to keep the CC in rad and 6 slotted it 4 slots for lockdown 1 being of course the +2 mag proc, and the other 2 slots for the chance for Psi damage procs. they hit often enough and stack with the holds nicely to help kill off the weaker mass of mobs in a group so 'Rocky can pound the bosses faster. I have not slotted any purples or Hami's at all and very close to perma AM build just useing the IO's , mostly due to prices being too high to even bother bidding on them at all. but anyway whenever i am on teams they all love him for the incredible amount of speed we can take down the enemies. ( due to the stacked debuffs ).

I recomend at least 1 earth / rad troller for everyone to have in their arsonal . very fun to play at 50. have fun and good luck all.


Talos ( Triumph Server since I6 )

this is the best way i have found for defeating Ghost Widow:


Perma Confuse her she cant heal if you do so. everyone else can whale on her and she will die fast. Also works with the Itf nictus but will work better if you have 3 ppl that can perma confuse as the nictus are healing you instead of Romy. Or better yet perma Confuse Romy and let him kill the nictus for no Stun when you kill him.

Mind does work on AV's Blueside just uses differant tactics perma confuse works wonders on the STF to get by Ghost Widow.

DS/Dark has my vote very fun to play lots of damage 2x stacking tar patch helps , + 3 forms of AOE Healing to keep everything alive. AND yes it can and does farm at +2 x6 solo very well.

DS/Storm is also very effective at 50

Spines/Fire Armor is great for AOE death machine and can rule the demon farm easily. has some end issues but after sets you can easily fix that. i dont have mine purpled out yet but already is a great farmer.

Single Target is another Beast altogether, and that answer of course is any Scrapper with Rabies. hope you have all your shots lol.

Fire or Ice/ Dark or Fire or Ice/Rad still works very well

Crab Spider nuff said
Elec/elec Brute mine solos at +2 x 8 demon farm or Scrapper at perma Hasten is a thing of beauty ( now if we could only perma the teir 9 armor without the crash hehe )
Spines/fire or Spines/Elec Scrap
DS/Dark or DS/Storm MM Very sweet soloing at +2 x6
fire / dark corr
fire or ice /Thorns perma Dom
fire/ice elec perma Dom


there is my list in not in any specific order some work better than others but all are mean.

nice guide and here is an easy attack macro that works well for me and keeps most of the pets alive through the entire mission. This macro works by keeping all of your pets in bodyguard mode and they only attack 1 target at a time, than come running back to you for their next target.

Atk macro : /macro "ATK" "petcom_all defensive attack"

this works fairly nice as i have lvl'd a few MM's just using this one macro.
Just tab to your target and press it. I also have a few more extensive macros and binds i use but was keeping it simple here as i only add them after i hit 50 with each MM.

Both /Dark and /Poison are good secondaries. /Poison is without a doubt the #1 single target debuffing set there is. Which is Great for soloing AV's and GM's with. And /Dark will make you and all of your pets more survivable in a larger fight as you can bottom out the tohit of everything in an AOE. and Dark also gives you an extra debuffing pet with a great AOE Heal which makes it very good for PVE.

dont forget electric / electric in pvp can be doable as well.
on a scrap also very aoe friendly.
1. very hard to run out of endurance.
2. tpfoe dont work on electric armor.

just slot with lots of regen and recharge.
it can kill the spines regen scraps and fire/fire tanks quite easily when they dont have endurance. hehe

ok thx

i am also haveing the same issue, i ran that file here are the results.

i am having the exact same problem whenever i try to run test, have even reinstalled it. but, no luck yet. any help would be greatly appreciated. thx in advance.


btw running a vista system, 8 gigs of ram pent 4 dual core processor , and 2 Galaxy Geforce gts 250 video cards , running 2 moniters.

suppling the system in case it helps to find a fix.

i have a lvl 50 Elec/Elec brute that i love. that said some things ppl have not noticed CP is a complete waste of time becuase perma PS is way better i can fire off my aid self just after PS activates. just build for recharge and end drain will help tremendously. also suggest tough if not also weave.

also dont forget how fun it will be to face a sapper and say "oh really?, let me show you what true sapping is." example: clockwork. and energy damage to a ElA is a joke just brush the dust off your shoulder as you walk past.

and with elec Melee you have another mitigation tool in your belt "Sleep" just dont use your Lightning field or any other damage auras at the time. i actually put a purple sleep set in mine so while pvping ("before I13 that is dont pvp any more.") the chance to placate goes off , nice supprise hehe.

now time to play electric as a tank and scrap should be fun.
mmmmm , BS/ElA Scrap wont have to worry bout end issues hehehe.
just my 2 cents worth , take it or leave it. have fun peace.
