Tired Angel

Ah yes I remember reading that about those now - I had forgotten!

And I agree that people really wanted some generic pets for the Lore slot and Im really glad the Devs listened. Phantoms, Drones, Polar Lights, Storms (to an extent, they are purple!) are all quite generic IMO

IIRC currently there isn't a way to break down any already crafted Incarnate abilities.

Of the new ones my Grav/Storm 'troller will be taking the Storm Elementals for thematic reasons. I tried the Tier 1 pet during beta and have this little purplish storm cloud following me about shooting lightning seemed to work for me

I did also try the Polar Lights and although there wasn't anything wrong with them they just didn't fit my toons concept as well as I thought. Although the actual wisp pets look like the ones floating around Croatoa they shoot blasts like Kheldians have.

Now it got a bit of feedback and would definitely need tweeking (e.g. more Psi resistance/defence in the powers) but thought it would be fun to suggest it again.

Edit: In fact this is how I would suggest it now:

1. Mind over Body (Toggle: +Resistance (Lethal, Smashing, Psionic))
While this power is activated you embower your body with the strength of your mind and increase your resistance to Lethal, Smashing and Psionic damage
[As per Willpower/Psionic Mastery]

2. World of Confusion (Toggle: PBAoE, Foe Damage (Psionic), Confusion)
This toggle powers allows you to cause psionic damage and cause confusion within a group of foes, creating chaos. The chance of confusing an enemy is lower than the chance of damaging them, and it may take multiple hits to affect stronger opponents. All affected foes within the area will turn and attack each other, ignoring all heroes. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated by Confused enemies.
[As per Mental Manipulation]

3. Telekenitic Shield (Toggle: +Def (all but Psionic), +Resistance (all but Psionic)
While this power is activated you create a shield of telekenitic energy around your body which will deflect incoming attacks. If an attack does get through its impact will be reduced and will cause less damage.

4. Drain Psyche (PBAoE, Foe: -Regen, -Recovery, Self: +Regen, +Recovery)
You Drain the Psyche of you nearby foes, thus weakening their Hit Point Regeneration and Endurance Recovery and boosting your own.
[As per Mental Manipulation]

5. Unbreakable Will (Toggle: +Resistance (Hold, Immobilise, Fear, Sleep, Disorientate, Confusion, Knockback, Psionic)
While activate your mental will becomes so powerful you become highly resistant to status effects and Psionic attacks for a short while.

6. Telepathic Prediction (Toggle: +Def (Melee, Ranged, AoE), -Def (Psionic))
While this power is activated you are constantly scanning the mind's of those around and are able to predict their next attacks making you harder to hit. However, leaving your mind open makes it harder to defend against Psionic attacks.

7. Mind Link (PBAoE, Team: +To-Hit, +Def (All), +Res (Psionic))
Your Mind Link Power will enable you to link the minds of all your teammates who are near you for the next 90 seconds. This shared link improves your teams chances to hit foes, your defensive abilities and dramatically reduces psionic damage.
[As per Fortuna Team work]

8. Psychic Rebirth (Self Rez, Special)
When you fall in battle you reach out with your mind to your allies to give you strength to be reborn. The more allies nearby the more health and endurance is restored to you. Additionally allies used to resurect yourself gain a small boost to their recovery and regneration for a short time due to the psychic energies shared. This power will actually leave you invulnerable for a brief time, and protected from XP Debt for 20 seconds. There must be at least one conscious ally nearby to fuel the transfer and revive yourself.
[A kind of opposite to Soul Transfer from Dark Armour]

9. Astral Form (Self: +Resistance (all Damage types, Hold, Immobilise, Fear, Sleep, Disorientate, Confusion))
When you activate this power your entire body is consumed by psychic energy and you become a being from the astral plain. For a short while you become highly resistant to all forms of damage along with some status effects. Astral Form costs very little Endurance to activate, but when it wears off you are left exhausted, and drained of almost all Health and Endurance.

Basicly I kind of see it as a Willpower type set in terms of Resistance and Defence, a bit of everything but master of none except for Psionic Damage. The -Defence to psionic in telepathic prediction is meant to offset by the +Defence is Mind Link and the high resistance values.

Not yet - again Null the Gull goes live with the new issue

Provoke doesn't have an endurance cost, its like all Taunt powers and is endurance free to use.

I thought the same!

Really good and very powerful

And I wonder if that is one of Tunnel Rat's fountains in the vid

I laughed so much at this one I have to quote it in my sig!

I may be a touch late for the TT Tour today (Saturday 25th) - sorry guys!

You've got to remember not everyone in the world pays in US $ - I pay in pounds sterling and others in Euros (and they are the prices listed - don't forget there are loads of different currencies throughout the world!). So just because if they made it $5 = 500 points doesn't mean the maths would work out for everyone else

I really hope this is not the case. I personally am hoping for them to be around 200 points, although I imagine they will be 400.

Ive got to admit that this is slightly disapointing only because there is so much good content already available and recently been released for the level range 20-30!

I concur with the suggestion boosting it up to lvl 30, if not 35.

I can't believe I've just complained about having to much of a good thing!

I like this suggestion

I think the only way they could do this is by increasing the base damage of set and then reducing the KB mag of the power to either equal to or below that of KD (0.63 or whatever it is then). You would then tell players they have to either slot the powers with the current KB sets that exist or with the Ranged Damage sets.

However this would penalise the players that do like the current level or KB and like to slot for damage. The current KB sets don't allow you to reach the same level of damage enhancement as the Ranged Sets do. Also, as Aett has described, they would miss out on set bonuses which they would currently have access to because they want to get back the original level of KB they had.

What you've got to remember about the Judgement powers is that although there is a progression tree each power within it is technically a completely different power, hence why they can allow people to create powers with/without secondary effects. Just look at when you upgrade an incarnate power, you have to reslot the incarnate enhancement into the slot and re add it to the power tray.

Hehe - although what you say about the FF +recharge proc makes much more sense to slot in Fissure than my original thoughts of Lift!

They share the same PPPs but Domies and Controllers actually get different APPs. Controller APPs wouldn't directly port over to Domies because of some duplicate powers. I think Stone was missed because there were three duplicate powers that they would get from Earth Assault (Hurl Boulder, Fissure and Seismic Smash).

For the most part he stays at range. Because I either open at range with GDF or Freezing Rain he generally picks up a target and will stay where he is until the mob is down. I have noticed that occasionally he will suddenly charge into melee range and scatter a few foes but it is rare enough not to bother me. If I am soloing and Wormholing into a corner etc then Singy being right behind me in Melee isn't so much of an issue.
When I used to play at range I would stay in Singy to and have Hurricane running as it was a great way to stay alive.

I think I will give it a go, slot it up and see how much of a difference it can make

I'm going to rearrange my power trays when I respec some of the changes and see if I can find a way to fit it on there, hidden in a corner maybe

Unfortunately the -movement doesn't stop Knockback. However, I have found that (particularly on teams) Gravity Distortion, Lift, Freezing Rain, Fissure, Seismic Smash is enough damage output for most normal mobs that I don't have to worry about Lightning Storm & Hurricane. When I hit an EB/AV/GM then I let loose with everything I've got because KB isn't an issue. If the mob is in a position where KB won't be an issue then I will occasionally pop Lightning Storm.

I also let loose with everything if stuff looks like it is going to get ugly!

I've decided to stick the Achilles Heal proc in Tornado with my level of recharge it should be the right level of Overkill

Yeah the pet set is in Tornado for the set bonuses

I've been thinking about it and I think I may go for the Clarion route, in particular the boost to secondary effects, as it will fill the status protection hole on the toon and help boost the effects of my powers.

Again thanks for the advice and comments everyone

I would say I probably team on this toon as much as I do solo so tried to aim for a balance of both. The reason I went for the Chance of Hold procs (particularly the double in GD) is try and fill the 'hole' that Gravity has in solid control that the other sets have. Having both procs and the chance of Overpower will allow me to hold a boss in one shot more often than not (my subjective experience) and when soloing allow me to stack holds on an EB.

The majority of my damage comes from 'spamming' CF for the proc/hold, Fissure and Seismic Smash

I totally agree with your points on Crush over lift and whenever I advise others I tell them that Crush is generally better. But for some reason, personally, I have never got along with the power. I also use Crushing Field to set up containment. Solo I will use either Wormhole/Thunder Clap or Gravity Distortion Field as an opener then hit Crushing Field, Fissure and alternate either Gravity Distortion, Seismic Smash or Lift between further CF and Fissures. On teams I generally let who ever is tanking gather the group then Gravity Distortion Field (if it is up) Freezing Rain, Crushing Field, Fissure and then look at holding the bosses with GD and Seismic Smash.

However thinking about what you have said about the necessity of the Chance to Hold Proc it may not be as useful so I think I will swap it out. But I'm not sure whether I should swap it for the Thunderstrike Dam/End or for the Chance of +Recharge proc. I will have a think although I think I will go with what you've said about the additional damage.

In all honesty I never use this power, it isn't even in my power tray. Because I play this toon at close range I never use it. I think the +recharge proc is there because it was left over from when I respecing and I initially thought I could use it on KB resistant foes for the bonus but never bothered with it because I generally had other powers which were of more use available.

Hmmm, you've definitely given me something to think about there. If I brough Snow Storm to lvl 4 and then I could take Hurricane at 30. However how much of the To Hit Debuff is actually resisted by EBs (solo), AVs/GMs (teamed) as that is only time I would use it because of my melee centric play style.

Yet I have gotten use to having O2 Boost - not so much as a heal but have found it useful at times to break people from Stun when they have rez'd with a wakie. Plus I am slowly getting credit towards my healing badges

Great point! I will get it swapped ASAP

You know what, I don't know how I missed the lack of Defence slotting I had on Steamy Mist. I've looked at this build so many times I think I couldn't see the wood for the trees! I think what I will do is swap out the Psionic/Status resistance IO for the LotG Defence IO.

I didn't know that! I think in that case I will take out the Fly Speed and get another KB protection IO and swap to a Run Speed, as you suggested, in Swift.

I will have a think about this - I do like being able to lockdown whole mobs in one shot (i.e. including bosses) when teaming. But like you say that would free up a slot and you reminded me about the Achiles proc which could be nice in Tornado or I could juggle some slots around to increase the damage of Seismic Smash. Do you have any experience of how useful the Chance to Hold Proc is in Lightning Storm?

With your advice about Steamy Mist if I went for the six slotted Shield Breaker then (according to Mids) I would be 2.1% away from the soft cap instead of 5% so it is tempting to do that.

I did look at Ice for the great AoE potential but seeing the damage a contained Seismic Smash can do made me fall in love with Stone. Plus it allows me to slot a set of Kinetic Combats!

Thanks again Local - you've given me lots to think about
