Thanks mates.
No, i've not posted my Blaster in my firm as he is only lvl 7... Archer/Devices... I'm looking for a "Human" Hero enhanced by devices and gadgets.
Thanks for you help mates, i'll skip Smoke Grenade for sure and maybe Body Armor (but there is still a loooong way until i will be able to get it)... First my Defender has to reach 50...Hopefully she will do this x2 xp week end

I've scheduled the build at COH Planner, however i've noticed that the archery set has several mistakes (ie. fistsull and Blazing -which as per planer is an AoE- are supposed to deal the same damage as per planner, but in game damage of Blazing is more than the double...)
Do you know where i can find the excat numbers and/or a good guide?

Hi just a quick question...
Are these powers whorth enough to be get or are they skippable?
Well concerning munition mastery one of them (CFR or BA) should be get in order to get the missile...Which is better?
Is body armor Defense bonus any good or is it minimal like the one of resist physical damage?
Thanks.

I will start playing my Blaster soon (as soon as cosmic hits 50...Hopefully this x2 xp week end as she is only 12 bricks away! )... He is lvl 6 (so unfortunatelly i already got snap instead of aimed shot...however its fast recharge works pretty well for me at the moment...I will respec it to aimed once SO are available)...
this is my Arch/DEv build which is mainly for PvE.
Concerning yours PvE/P build...I frankly would take blazing arrow as soon as it is available...

Comments and suggestions for my build will be also highly appreciated!
TY!

Concerning Chocking cloud, i've to agree... You have better control powers in your primaries... CC may be fine for a defender but for a controller its only a waste of endurance...
Concerning the rechrage reduction in Blind, with AM+Hasten+1SO you have enough... Unless you want to be a "Blind Auto Turret"

Just a quick question...
Which kind of inspirations would be better to grab for the raid? I was thinking in Catch breaths and Breaks free...but i'm not sure if they would be the best options...

BTW:Would someone like to meet at FF Icon shop about one hour before the raid (6.15 UK) to prepare the costumes?

Cosmic avenger ready sir!
I'm at present halfway to 49 (when i will get mutation) and I have all the must have powers slotted as per your instructions (except R.Aura, only 3 heals slotted).
I'll try o do my best to reach 50 before monday ...

Hi!
Well, just a few things:
In my oppinion you will have serious end issues before you get SOs and Stamina... Rad.Infection + Enervating field + Sup. Inv. without Stamina and SOs End Red mean endurance crash for sure...
I would delay supperior invisibility and / or Enervating field until the early 20s and would choose the fitness pool earlyer in order to get Stamina a.s.a.p.
Radiation Infection is a must, so i would take it at lvl 6 if not earlier (I'd switch Accelerate metabolism and Raidation Infection).
Finally I'd go for group invisibility instead of S.I.... I know S.I. is much better but you already have enough Toggles
in your secondaries...
Last one point... Try to get deceive as early as possible...Is an extreme good power... Just get used to it and it will be you oppening attack power...
I would delay Hasten until 22 in order to get decive at lvl 6...
I would go as follows:
1 Rad. Aura
1 Blind
2 Rad. Infection
4 Spectral wounds
6 Decieve
8 Acc. Metabolism
10 Swift
12 Recall Friend
14 Teleport
16 Hurdle
18 PA
20 Stamina
22 Hasten
24 Env.field
26 Spectarl Terror
28 Lindegring Radiation
30 group Invisibility
32 Phantasm
35 Flash
38 EMP

In any case thi is just what i would choose, the build is up to you, anyway you will enjoy this character a lot!

Thanks mate!

Well, it would be a bit bizarre build... If you want to play a melee hero why do not try an Ice thank for example... You would nearly "control" mobs with your chilling embrace... Our fire tank for the AoE attacks, or a DM scrapper... Frankly i do not get the point to get Flurry being a Controller... However, it will be viable of course and you will enjoy it (concept wise)... In any case from my point of view you would be more effective as a controller by not choosing these powers or in any case if you want a melee combatant, by choosing another archetype...

In any case, Rage + 1 SO Acc enh in the attack power should be eoungh is not it?

Yay! Soz, actually the hold duration at KO Blow is a typing mistake, it is in fact an Acc enh.
So basically i've slotted both KOB and Hay with 3 dmg/ 1 end red/ 1 rech red and 1 Acc...
Is not enough? On my Inv/Eng tank this works pretty well(well, i've Invincibility on it but it does not buff acc as much as rage -you will need to be surrounded by 25 enemies to get +50% acc)...

Ty mate!
On the other hand... would you mid to take a look to my up to lvl 40 forecasted build? At present i'm still 14, but any advice will be highly appreciated.
On the other hadn, wht to get after 40? Epic pools or Dam res auto powers?
Thanks in advance!

-------------------------------------------

Ok, I got what you mean (Overload / hasten combo)...However i've a question comcening overload...Is it's carsh as painful as unstoppable (inv. set)?
I mean, as per COH Planner its crash is the same, but if so i cannot get how you can fire it as much as possible and not as a panic button...
I've a lvl 14 SS/EA brute, and as soon as my main def gets 50 i'll get him again... although I like the character very much, up to now it has been totally [censored]... Def powers are not noticed and I run out of end pretty often (i cannot fight more than 4 enemies at the same time withouth end issues)... Thanks good we have fury... I cannot wait to get SOs and start shinning!

Thanks for the advice Shannon and Unthing... Frankly I do not have any idea of the numbers of slotting ToHit buffs on inv. However, i have to recognise that i do not notice any huge difference between having it on or not (Acc-wise)... I'll use my free respec to ammend this point...
On the other hand, i've to say that I have mainly been soloing this character and that i have not needed to use Dull pain very often, and that for extremely painful situations i have used unstoppable instead... Thats why i forget about slotting it before...Now that I have reached my overwatch mates lvl and I will start teaming with them again I will probably need it as much as possible (since there will be more foes to tank) ...
Thanks!

Frankly speaking i've never noticed it... when i run Chocking Cloud, Temporal Invulnreability, RI and EF, i have to keep an eye to my end or I can run out of it even haveing Stamina and end red slotted. (specially after using EMP)...

[ QUOTE ]
I found it very very hard to find a team that actually wanted an empath to join, even at lvl 17.


[/ QUOTE ]

Well you can always recuit a team by yourself... As a Rad defender whose rep. is set as Invincible I have to recuit before starting missions or decrease the reputation...I can soloing rugged missions pretty well but in any case i cannot face an Inv. miss all alone...
And since lvl 1, I have been always receiving tells asking if I was a Healer (well there has been 2 nice weeks where ppl asked me If I was a RAd, but they decreased the Regen of the Av/Gm again )... So in my oppinion empaths are the most wanted defenders... And you are lucky, at least ppl understand your powers, while in the case of mines, even if i set a Macro informing of my anchor before using RI or EF, it is got killed the first too often!!
In any case, once you get a good team to play with, I find buffers/debuffers more enjoyable than empaths (but this is only my oppinion)...

Ahhh!
Well the truth is that i was extremely bored this morning (although i'm suposed to be working)...

although my Ice tank is just 11, i'm not even thinking about getting it... As far as I know it is the less usefull power of the set.

?

Well, this is my lvl 38 Inv/Eng tank.
Next targets are to slott Total focus properly as well as dull pain and to take resist energies... Then the epic pool at lvl 44 (focused accuracy and conserve power) and will end the build with swift (or maybe flurry...as the character is based on her super speed...)

Cosmic Avneger will be there

Fine then!
I'll be there!
24th july (what hour and where?)Soz i'm not used to hami raids

Go for swif(lvl 16)/ Phantom Army (18)/ Hurdle (20)/ Stamina (22)...Or even skip fly until 22 and get Swift at 14 and hurdle at 16 in order to get stamina at 20... Or just respec (i would probably drop flash as it has extremely long recharge time until SOs come along)and get Fitness pool looking for Stamina at lvl 20... You will
love having stamina with 3 end mod SO on it...

Would A rad/rad defender be of any use there?
If so i'll glady join the raid... I'll try to reach 50 in due time, however it is almost sure that i'll need to be sked.

Well,

Prepare to be invited more often than pre-issue 7 as your rad emission powers (specially lindgering radiation) are essential for every AV miss as well as to beat GM.
I've a lvl 42 rad/rad and i have enjoyed playing her very much when i play toegther with a good team that understands and respects rad def powers, otherwise you will be frustated as the anchor of your debuffs will get killed always the first and your teammates will only ask you to heal them and to cast AM on them... Skip this kind of teams, try to play with a couple of friends who knows how rad works, or explain your tactics before starting the miss... Another good tip is to inform your teammates of who will be your anchor before a fight. If you prefer soloing, keep playing your Ill/Rad as (in my oppinion) you will be able to soloing faster as a Ill controller than a defender.
