Oh well I will go first then
Ma'aT

This is as close to my favourite toon as I can get, I really miss the scarab on his chest though.

bio:
Selected as one of a team of archaeologists studying the artifacts found at a dig in Edfu, John was studying several scarabs that had survived the long incarceration remarkably intact. About 4cm long these gold and red scarabs drew John's curiosity. He placed the large magnifying glass over one of the scarabs to study the markings along its back. To his surprise he saw what appeared to be a reflection of a pulsing red light on its back. John looked up at the ceiling to see where the light was coming from. He felt something cold touch his wrist and looked down. The scarab he had been studying had sprouted legs and was climbing onto the back of his hand. It then fastened itself onto his wrist where its claws then dug deep into his flesh. John tried to smash the insect against the door and wall but realised it was having no effect. Slowly but surely the scarab was positioning itself on the top of his right wrist. The second scarab was scrambling down his other arm to an equivalent spot and stopped. John looked at the matching scarabs on his wrists. The devices on his wrists moved in unison, they raised their heads straight up, their huge mandibles opened to their extremes, then plunged forward to drive them deep into his flesh. He passed out.
To his surprise John didn't die but awoke in complete darkness. He felt his adrenaline levels rise. From his wrists small plates seemed to appear and form into metallic gloves of bronze and gold. From his shoulders the same plates appeared and grew in a spiral, surrounding his head with a helmet. His body was pumped and he felt stronger than he had ever felt in his life. All this was accompanied with an eerie green glow. Inside the helmet John could see lots of hieroglyphics but in a form he couldn't quite work out.
With time John came to understand the hieroglyphs and with that understanding came access to powers not seen since Goddess Ma’aT herself dispensed justice.

Lvl 17 hero here and I have found that there is very little teaming going on midweek. More tells on weekends.

As another has said if you want a team then make your own. As someone who has done this before I can understand why many do not want the hassle of carrying the star. really it isn't that much of a hassle.

What about the stealth pool? You have almost no blasts to speak of, stealth plus superspeed makes you almost invisible in PvE and lets you avoid aggro completely.

I have a grav/storm now at lvl 17 using almost Octon's build and I can take on 3 Tsoo conning yellow or an Orange Leut and a yellow minion.

Before freezing rain it can get a little scary at times. FR is that little bit of extra control I have needed to take on the more dangerous groups.

Now aint that the truth

I have teamed with a hell of a lot of you over the last 8/9 months. Thanks everyone, couldn't have done it without you. Special mention for the 1AT community who's players have managed to pull my butt out of the fire many a time

If slots are tight you might think about Provoke. It would help if you get slowed rather than supercharging Taunt

Bit cheeky but I can't really bare the thought of reading all this. was the conclusion yes or no?

Or been as much fun - grats again Luna

Hotfeet used to be Auto hit in PvE but now needs Acc, I find that one Acc is more than enough in PvE haven't tried it in PvP.

Smoke is autohit in PvE.

When I have a Kin helping my Endurance I run both CC and Hotfeet.

I am going to try different slotting to see if I can afford to run them both at the same time.

Loved it till the mid 30's then switched to Choking Cloud instead. Still use it but with Fireball and Fireblast I find I just don't need it as much as I used to.

I like to have a range in AP as well as it allows me to stay away from the tanker who may be getting a lot of AoE attention.

Can this thread be deleted until I get to 50 - thnx much appreciated [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I have been given an idea by a guide written by Double.

I am thinking of taking Grant Invisibiity to stealth my imps.

Does this work?

and

What tactics would it help with?

My first thought was PvP where the presence of the imps tells the world I am a Fire/* troller anyone think of any other benefits?

It also has a nice little side benefit, when you smoke a mob, you will see that one or two of them are left unsmoked. These ones you can pull as singles with a snipe etc.

Bonfire and Hotfeet are great on +5 enemies, knockback becomes knockdown. On anything less than that it is only good in certain situations. A small room for example where the knockback is limited or certain robots/mobs who have knockback protection.

As Days says the damage is minimal and it is the anti-melee zone, glowie protector or door/corridor blocker that you will use it for. I wouldn't slot for damage - one or two recharges at most. I certainly wouldn't use it with hotfeet as iirc the knockback protection from fire cages only lasts 10 seconds and then everyone would be blown away from you.

Get a Kinetic to speed boost them - its even funnier.

Well done Mush, I definetly do not begrudge you overtaking me and dining 50 first - no sireee

so

whats your next toon to be

You know - I too have just mapped every inch of the Hive and I'm convinced that there is something off about it.

Map wise - there is almost a definate letter 'D' on the map next to 1 of these normal mob spawns.

I also picked up the time traveller badge by pure accident.

There is an area in the top right corner that is always a black strip. Not sure if this is just a map bug. I'm going back now to take another look around...

Maybe we are thinking the wrong way about the doors. Perhaps you don't get into them but instead are exits. Where from I have no idea.

Don't suppose anyone has a picture of these doors?

Consider me signed up then.

I should be avialable

Ma'aT lvl46 Fire/Rad

Cinders, Char, Choking cloud and EMP

or would I be better applying for the RAD team?

My team message was "Fire/Rad Controller LFT" and I got maybe 1 invite over an evening, sometimes none.

I7 released

4 teams on first evening, and I am getting tells while I am on teams. Nice to be popular but its wierding me out man!!

New message will be "AV buster for hire" at least until they get it fixed.

For me it was reading that the Devs managed Hamidon with just 3 teams. Roughly a third of a full SG which made me think that Hamidon was initially set up as a SG trial.

I am also an optimist and I have to believe that the last great villain in the game has more to it.

I was hoping to make it but I won't be lvl 45 by tomorrow. I did have a thought that the Rikti crash site might be of interest. I went on a little expedition and found that the ship itself is protected by DE lvl50's.

Similar set up to Hamidon in that it is accessed via a 'quiet' trial zone. Just a thought.

I recommend setting a macro something like /macro "release_pets"

Great for that moment when one of the imps gets bored and goes for another group you really don't want to aggro yet.
