Tired Angel

Ive been loving the Praetorian missions so far - as people have said they are extremely well written and executed (if a little ambush heavy sometimes).

I always try and make my characters have some sort of back story/personality even if its in my head but Praetoria has actually really let me live it out.

My praetorian Thugs/Dark mutant mastermind resented that she was forced to join the power division so she went and joined the resistance crusaders to blow a few things up and cause a bit of damage. However she then got the oppurtunity to grab a load of power by blackmailing Paetor White and I thought "yeah, she would totally do that". So she then started doing the loyalist power missions but she kept on informing the resistance of whats going on and eventually joined the resistance again. Basicly it was like she was playing both sides against each other to get what she wanted and it was great fun!

My Electric/Kin isn't particularly high at the moment but from my experience (both live and in beta) and what I've read Electric Control is one of the weakest control sets in terms of actual damage output so I wouldn't expect to be able to farm very well with one.

Electric is great fun to play (IMO) is good in terms of damage mitigation through various things such as knockdown, confusion, sleep and endurance drain.

I'm sure those with more experience of their Electric/Kins will be able give more info!

Haven't read the whole thread sorry but can I throw in:

Ninjitsu animations being made available to other armour sets for when you are activating armour toggles

Electric/Earth does seem like a very common combo, I've seen a few while I've been running around Praetoria and plan on leveling my own one soon.

I think it has some nice synergy in that Electric begs to be in melee due to sapping nature of Conductive Aura and Static Field and Earth has some strong melee attacks and mud pots. Power boost also helps with the sapping potential of electric.

The other two sets that I thought would work with Electric Control would Electric Assualt as the attacks help the end drain or Psionic Assault because of the recovery debuff in drain psyche and psychic shockwave.

Im having a problem downloading the frames - I click on the link and rather than start my downloader it opens up the PSD file in text format on a webpage

I would say 4 SGs as well because it allows flexibility.

I personally will probably be sticking with my main SG on Defiant but knowing if I want to go accross to another server for a visit then that is cool.

But I love the idea of having the Europe United channel that is there for everyone to talk through so events can be advertised accross all the servers. It may encourage people to be more fluid about which server they play on. I think that is the most important thing.

Also a thought - would it be worth asking RoguesRadio.com to advertise this project?

It was great fun Coin! Thank you to Rogues Radio for organising it

I guess it all comes down to what kind of wizard character you want.

From the sounds of it yours is an all rounder as you have illusions, mind control and fireballs.

So you could easily go for another elementalist such as Thermal like Red has suggested, Storm which is viable and is described as chaos bringer or Cold which (from what Ive read) is a good alternative to Radiation Emission.

Another alternative is Force Field - magical shields - but having leveled a Illusion/FF to 50 myself it was EXTREMELY boring both solo and in teams as they are both drop it and leave it sets.

Empathy could work as you could be using your spells to heal. Kinetics as you would be using your powers to sap the enemies.

Radiation would work as well and I see it is a Death Cloud type spell you see in fantasy RPGs.

To be honest they could all work depending on your concept except for maybe Trick Arrow.

I would recommend (from a personal opinion) either Thermal, Cold, Radiation, Storm

I've got a Dark/Ice defender at 32 and find that is it a great combo.

I find that the toon works like a pseudo-controller, debuffer with some nice damage added in.

I currently have two decent holds which can take a boss out of action easily and plan on taking the second Ice hold and a hold from the APP pool (which Corruptors will have access to come GR). Im also planning on slotting them with Chance of Hold procs to make them more effective. You've also got Fearsome Stair which is a great power to stop Alpha fire.

The debuffs, heal and pet people have already mentioned and are brilliant.

Ice can do some decent with Ice Storm, Frost Breath and Blizzard

Overall a great combo

Welcome back

I like throwing them up in the air with Lift and then, as they are getting back up, hitting them in the face with a flat screen TV!
