    Curses... there goes my slotting plan.

    Dear Castle

    Dear Castle,

    When power proliferation was first announced we, the Mastermind Community, accepted our lot in life. We recognize that we are unique among the Classes in this game, and as such we knew that we would not be getting any new primaries out of it. We were slightly dismayed to find that our second proliferation slot had been given to Brutes, but we remained calm (I suspect a lot of /em Plot happened at this point, but since nothing untoward happened to you and your minions we can still be friends, right?).

    Now, with the second round we realize that time is tight but I speak for the community when I say that it is high time for us to get a little more proliferation love. Could we pretty please get a second secondary set proliferated?

    Pretty, pretty please? With a cherry on top?

    Cold would be ideal, but I don't think anyone would object to Sonic either. We are reasonable people (for the most part) and we recognize that there are... potential problems with /Rad and /Kin.


    Sincerely,
    Weatherby Goode, on behalf of the Mastermind Community.




    PS: If you do not comply, please remember that in addition to the torture of pet AI balancing we can inflict on you, we also have OIL SLICK ARROW!


    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!
  4. I happen to have a food themed villainess (Terror Misu, sound it out), and I would be extremely disappointed if she was denied her apron and toque.

    Ball Lightning can slot EndMod IOs, and Efficacy Adapter and Performance Shifter both have Rech/EndRedux pieces.

    The rest is a no-brainer.

    Them's fightin' werds.
  7. Balance Sets not Powers.

    Mind is slightly underpowered, Plant is slightly overpowered.


    Also: Agree with Enant. Longer Rech on Seeds, lower on MC. Boom, done.
    Of course, I also think that ALL AoE Immobs should do Roots damage.

    <<<<<<mids noob

    Thanks for any help.

    322% total, including slotted recharge.

    Do the procs come from the "mother pet" once every 10s or from each individual vine? The vines cause knockback, so I assume they can trigger chance for smashing? Wow!

    The mother pet causes slow and immb and when aoe immb hits, it also checks for target aoe proc. Nice!

    I haven't checked all the procs, but Vine Thorns can trigger both KB, TAoE, and Slow procs. It used to only trigger Slow procs.
  10. Polls are also against the forum rules.

    Mu got CP at the same time as the other sets, but they yanked it because it would lead to duplicate powers.
  12. Nice work at a fantastic price! Now I need to take new reference shots.
  13. I don't want anymore patron sets.


    I do want Ancillary sets.

    Another reason it should be okay to do something with Dim Shift like swap it with Wormhole.

    From mmorpg.com Floyd says:

    "During testing, we realized that Energize came too late in the lifetime of a character to truly be useful, so for the new versions of the powerset, we swapped the progression of Lightning Reflexes and Energize."
    Funny how you missed the next line that says:

    "Brutes and Stalkers do not get this advantage, unfortunately"
  15. Just take lots of pictures while you solo Lusca.
  16. ...you could've asked Binju or I, Aggie

    Also: You need to get Eiko to put the base empowerment station in. It grants +20% recharge, and lets you get Permadom 0.5 with only 55% recharge and three slotted hasten.

    This is a good point, not just in regards to soft-capping but for IOs in general. Mind/Elec can slot nearly every type of set io, and that gives very good options for either capped defense or (relatively) cheap Perma-Dom.
  18. Mind/Elec is a very good soloer, and it offer a decent amount of damage and control to most teams. Mine is in the mid 40s right now, and I haven't come across much I couldn't handle (except those damn balistae...)


    Must have powers are:
    Dominate
    Confuse
    Mass Hypnosis
    Terrify
    Mass Confusion

    Charged Bolts
    Charged Brawl
    Havoc Punch
    Build Up


    Although I find Mesmerize, Total Domination, Voltaic Sentinel, and Static Discharge to be invaluable parts of my arsenal, they mostly depend on taste.

    New Emoctions?

    The old ones or the old, old ones? We just got a new set today (or yesterday, can't remember when they showed up)

    Buffs:

    Undo Wounds:
    Ally +Heal, +Res (Effects)
    Recall: Ally Resurrect
    Great Haste: PBAoE, Ally +Speed, +Recharge, +Recovery, +Regen, +Dmg, +Def

    DeBuffs:

    Delay:
    Toggle (PBAoE), Foe -Speed, -Def, -Res
    Impedance: Toggle (PBAoE), Foe -Speed, -Recharge, -Dmg
    Hindering Field: PBAoE, Foe -Speed, -Recovery, -Regen

    Control:

    Slow:
    Ranged, Moderate DoT (Psionic), Foe -Speed, -Def
    Glimpse into Probability: Ranged, High Dmg (Psionic), Foe Disorient
    Time Rift: Ranged (Target AoE), Foe Intangible
    Eye of the Storm: PBAoE, Foe Hold, -regen, -recovery
    Flashback: Summon Doppelganger: PBAoE, Foe -Speed, -Recharge, -Regen, -Res

    Just thinking about the possibilities made all of my other controllers seem really boring lol

    Heh, you've just described Radiation Emission with different graphics.

    Levitate vs Lift

    A Mind VS Plant debate.


    How unexpected.
  22. I love Ara too, but I don't understand the purpose of this thread.
