Ok, MKII build. Removed the status effects, makes sense about duration of them not likelyhood of them happening. My blaster status effects just happened automatically
. Reslotted integration and have went 2 acc in attacks. Will see if they are needed given MA's acc bonus. Can always change them to recharge if I feel its not needed.
Whats the thoughts on Focused Accuracy, is it good enough to be able to remove acc enhancements from powers?

Scrapper builds seem to be all the rage atm, so here's another one.
Finding a good home for many of my slots has been a problem since ED, gone are the days of 1 acc 5 damage in all attacks. Adding disorient or hold enhancements was fine, I avoided adding slots to knockback attacks.
If the fitness pool seems forced into the early 20's thats because it was, I wan't sure if I would need stamina as part of the build or not, would regens end recovery be enough to compensate for a lack of stamina?
All comments and critiques welcome.
btw - I intend to use this for PvE, have yet to take any of my alts to the pvp zones. -
Indeed he did, at 23:25.21 last night Gen2's ill/kin Controller made it to 50.
Very Nice Screenie Even If I Do Say So Myself
Many congratulations Bob, glad to be a belated part of it, after falling over you in Atlas Park on Friday after you'd already done 48+ lvls. Those last 2 bars where hard going. -
Heh I thought this was about something else

Wow, that's a lot of kills...and a lot of matches

Had a hunt on the contingency forums and found some results up to server semis. We played 4 rounds with one rematch (a massive 6-6 in the original match) to that point. I managed 74 kills by that stage, which was nice.

You dropped Spectral Terror??For shame!
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm fairly certain I did (or was it what I intended to do?), I really must log in and find out.
tbh though I wasn't using it much anyway. I tended to throw it at a mob if I had nothing else to use, but after PA and Phantasm it seemed a bit pointless. The only time I was pretty certain to use it was against AV's when I hit them with everything and anything to slow them down.

Rushes off to respec out of deceive.
Of my primaries (post respec) I left out spectral terror, the secondaries I dropped repel. I also decided to remove travel powers, using IR and SiphonSpeed for travel. Hasten I still use but dropped it off auto as it dropped at all the wrong times. Using siphon and hasten does still boost recharge enough to be worthwhile imo. -
Thats the problem with in jokes, others don't seem to get them

It was actually more fun for me when the fire tank turned back into an empath, I got to take over tanking duties....hmmm AV's....

fire tanks used to be good for XP farming
700 hours is an awful long time. It took me half that with a troller. i would have thought that blasters would be quicker than a troller (probably wrong though - in the middle of tryin it just now)
[/ QUOTE ]
Mixture of things with the two times. Blaster was my first alt in this game which was my first MMO. I first found out about TO, DO, SO at roughly lvl27/8. I had things like brawl and powerslide 2 and 3 slotted. My attacks where slotted 1 acc, 1 dam, 1 recharge, 1 range, 1 slow. I finally got dragged through the respec at lvl32 (before the time of free respecs). After that my blaster took off.
My controller always felt less squishy than my blaster, after epics at 41 he could take a lot more damage than my blaster.
I should point out that the fire tank was not for xp farming, yes we often cleared maps but we never farmed maps, maps where always completed. The fire tank was simply what a friend was playing when I finished my blaster and moved onto my controller, thats the beauty of sk'ing.
Yes there where times early on when I felt my contribution was making little difference to how a mission went, though I think defenders suffer similar feelings at times. But my controller never sat back and waited for the tank to finish, I always was in the thick of things. -

corruptor vs the elec/en blaster that 'killed' more people during the s4 pvp competition, than all the other union pvp teams blasters put together...
cool. when you wanna rock?
[/ QUOTE ]
Mildly OT
The comment on defeating more than the other blasters combined, was that fact or just a more general statement on a high KO rate?
The only reason I'm asking is that other than winning or losing our matches I never took much interest in what happened in other matches. For a while we did talk about who KO'd more between myself and Rose Knight in our team, actually never did find out.

Short?!?!? Never.
My blaster took nearly 700 hours to hit 50, playing 2-3 hours each night, maybe 3-4 at the weekend. It was only shear pig headedness that made me trudge to 50. Controller was done in about half that, basically by learning from the mountain of mistakes with my blaster.

And regularly teaming with a fire tank had nothing to do with it?

I heard fire tanks where great for an easy xp ride? That one wasn't, kept having to save her firey behind. The way I dragged her to 50, unbelievable.

People can come along and tell you it takes no time at all and you should just enjoy it, but in all reality it depends how long you have to play the game.
Don't believe them I say! I only have about 3 hours on a weekday to play due to my work situation and I certainly wont be on every day. Weekends aren't much better, sunday is usually my longest stretch but it's pretty random how long that'll be.
I expect it will take me a long time to ding 50 and I've been playing since US release. But I still love it, I'll get there eventually.

AFAIK it still takes exactly the same number of even conning minions to lvl each lvl from 41 to 50.
Have to agree with Kejoxen, the journey is much better than arriving. Both my 50's have been dropped like hot potatoes after dinging. My controller is still in AP I believe since the night he dinged, my blaster got a reprieve for S4 but hasn't been played either (he's still in Galaxy iirc). -
75% is the quoted damage that corruptors do compared to blaster damage, didn't know dominators holds where shorter though. Anyone know how by how much?

[ QUOTE ]
I put three Rchg on my defenders heals and dropped Hasten. I think it may be even quicker to recharge than just using hasten. should be the same with your blasts.
[/ QUOTE ]
Putting three recharge in a blast would seriously affect a blaster, generally now the makeup of a blaster who doesn't have targetting drone is 1 acc, 3 damage and 2 others, in my case probably 2 recharge.
I haven't respec'd my blaster yet for ED (at least I don't remember doing it) but my controller kept hasten. 2 SO recharge is supposed to equal hasten but I felt it was a little slower than that.

Short Answer: Frozen Aura
Edit: Longer answer now I have a bit more time:
Can only speak for ice. Many of the secondaries for my play style, in pve, are close to useless. If I played more pvp or blapper style I could see them being fairly useful. In my own build I left out frozen fists, chiling embrace, shiver and frozen aura.
Frozen Aura I think is total [censored] in any circumstances. I tried it on test just to be sure, slotted with 6 accuracy SO's, all green (this is pre ED). I found a mob of minions who where -10/15 to my lvl. I missed about three quarters of the mob, maybe more. This wasn't sometimes but every time. -
I'm not sure I could afford to drop something for Acrobatics on my controller either. My blaster I left out 1 primary and 4 secondary powers, it would have been 5 but at that lvl there wasn't any other option other than starting another powerpool.
My controller is missing repel from secondary and that's it. By the time I could have found a place for Acro I no longer seemed to need it, I assume it was psi mastery that was helping. It really was so much harder building my controller. -
It's probably those pants
.
After 9 shouldn't be a problem. I am always of the opinion that if you want an invite you won't get it but if you want to be left alone everyone wants to invite you.
A good tactic if you want a team, maybe rather than having to go to the trouble of starting your own, is to see who's around your lvl but is already teamed and ask them can you have an invite. It's a bit pot luck but sometimes it works.
You will of course find that generally the servers in europe aren't as full as in the US, the only time I have seen union and defiant on medium load was in the first week of CoV. -
Use the 12 + 14 for your travel power. It's really too early to respec your build, I think 22 is about the earliest you should look at a respec. You then have enough powers to bother shuffling.
Edit: 22 for the respec was based on him having a free respec to use as opposed to a earned respec from the TV trial. -
Wow
You came all the way back from sunny New Zealand to gratz me!
