Pretty much anything is a good choice really.

And what is wrong with Regen? For soloing it's arguably the best secondary.

[/ QUOTE ]It's arguably the most green

And likewise, I have a level 39 blaster I would use instead if you need someone to start the TF.

Count me in!

Ah well, if I teamed with you I'd let you open your way, laugh out loud, give you a waikie and then open with one of those 3

[/ QUOTE ]
Seems you've never teamed with me

Yup flash has a much longer recharge, that for granted, but that doesn't necessarily make it a worse power. What I do is alternate PA, EM pulse and flash as openers on each mob, SI is a great ally when rushing in the middle of a mob to aoe hold them before they have time to react. Spectral terror is much more situational, at least for my play style. I only use it when several mobs have been aggroed at once, or to acummulate it to PA or aoe holds just for more safety (and showoff )

[/ QUOTE ]
What if you have someone like me on your team, who kills mobs so fast there aren't any powers left to open with out of those three?

[ QUOTE ]
Thrice every single damned spawn? No thank you.

Fixed

Yeah, they both stack their damage. 1 ring of fire will do its damage no matter what. If you do another ring straight after, the first will have its damage ticking, and the second one will damage too (Except at double damage, from containment.)

So yeah.

KD and KU is good. KB and Repel is very hard to do right. Often messes up me fulcrumming or transfusion/ferencing, or ice storming, or flashfiring, or cindering, or generally playing to the best of my ability.
So no, it's not just herding tanks.

This game is becoming to have more farmers then gamers. Next thing we have cows in the meadows...

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, you could call Carnie girls cows... so certain people are actually farming cows already

Gratz!

[ QUOTE ]
Each of you has to select the first "Random" costume available. That would be a real mess .

[/ QUOTE ]
Wait, people don't use random normally? I must be going wrong...

Only takes acc checks in PvP, so no acc needed in PvE

Aye, that was a fantastic raid!

Prepare for lots of soloing

[ QUOTE ]
I'm sure we agree on lots of things... just not how much Scrappers can contribute to teams!!

(ok, NORMAL Scrappers....)

[/ QUOTE ]
Depends on the scrapper, and their playstyle.

Just FYI DB, AR/ice isn't bad at all

OFC I would!! bear in mind I just build toons for pvp

[/ QUOTE ]

PvP is deeply unbalanced. Which is why I rarely PvP. Its even worse since issue 9. To all boasters in PvP: I completly fail to applaud your skill when PvP is now largely down to getting "uber" IO's and having a PvP build / powersets. YOu can have my congratulations when you win with a Fire/Fire blaster without a medicine pool.

PvE is fairly balanced. SOme toons Solo well, are rubbish in teams (these are often PvP toons), Some toons do the reverse. Most are fairly in between.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pvpers are better than pvers at pve imop

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait wait wait... a PvE specced Fire/Kin or Spines/Regen is a worse PvEer than a PvP specced Ice/NRG tank or blaster?

Don't neglect juicy dark debuffs! Talking about Darkest Night and Tar Patch. Fearsome stare of course is just wonderful.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm all up for two (both those times look ok), but I'm concerned that it'll will reduce the number at each.

Still I'll be there for both times this week, and only hope it goes as well as last Sunday.

Could people please arrive on time/help clear pylons though? It's just lazy and annoying when people turn up for the rewards and miss the boring work.

[/ QUOTE ]
Calling it boring won't help people come.

PvE on a squishy- the game of hold them before they hold you

I'll try and show up, though I find it too easy to forget

Just saying guys, it's here atm, anyone want to kill it?

Full Auto is just a too long animation compared to RoA, although FA can combine with flame trower (nrg boost range).

[/ QUOTE ]

The way i did it (AR/Energy)...Boost range then build-up. Flamethrower on mob, move back a couple of steps, Full Auto.

End of mob.

[/ QUOTE ]
Arch/En.

Boost Range -> Build up -> Aim -> Rain of Arrows -> Fistful -> Explosive while the rain lands.

Overly dead mob.

From very far away

Also, stunned enemies often scatter more, because they start moving away and keep moving even when they escape burn, and go in random directions.

Stomp+Burn is good, so would be a patron immob+burn, or better yet a dominator AoE immob + Burn.

Okay, the way I see it, ask at the start if anyone DOESN'T want SB. Keep everyone who does SBed. Believe me, I would take on a kin defender to my team if they kept us SBed and nothing else (Though it wouldn't be as good as a real kin, I do LOVE SB!). Whilst healing isn't the purpose of kin, I do see that situational dilemma. I mean, if people needed the heals from it, and it kept people alive, that's good, as kin doesn't get much decent team damage mitigation (until Fulcrum that is, woo for AoE dam debuff!).

Fighting +4s/+5s though... I really do think that you should've considered a sidekick. I mean, I know you are probably itching to get to 38 and beyond, but you just aren't going to contribute as much as you can when you con that low. Anyway, a kin controller does have good accuracy on some of the stuff that needs to hit. You have a natural slight bonus to hit with transfusion, Block of Ice and chilblain, so you really should have tried.

But generally, use ice slick quite alot if possible. You should have siphon speed, which will let you get some really decent recharge on Ice Slick on top of your SOs. I know Ice isn't big on AoE control, but Ice Slick definately is decent when it's up.
