respecting peoples opinions on forums?! what is wrong with you two?!

Yeah, insane!

[ QUOTE ]

i dont have any experience with /rad but i do with the ice/ part and i extremely dislike BFR, really, sure the animation is cool blah blah blah good opener etc etc, it just seems to me not needed in any build, you wont be able to use it midbattle (well you could but you wont be able to do anything else whilst the animation is going on, including heal yourself or run), but try it for yourself and see, you can always respec out of it if you dislike it,


[/ QUOTE ]

Out of curiosity, have you tried it after they lowered the cast time? It made a huge difference in how i felt about it and how i use it. Freezing a boss or two normal mobs from the start is pretty handy.

[ QUOTE ]

id also add, that you should get the tier 1 attack (going against what some others have said) as stacking the slows and -rech is pretty handy and it has a quick animation time. ice bolt, ice blast and bitter ice blast, is quite a nice attack chain for solo PvE,


[/ QUOTE ]

Totally agree, i love using all three blasts and would feel week without one of them. Loads of damage comes from them.

Whateven Secondary you Pick, remember you are a healer so you will heed all Heal/Sheild/Buff/Raz Power's, keep the team alive you wont need to kill.

[/ QUOTE ]

woah woah woah, he is a corruptor, and hes going to be playing solo as he plays late at night, and you can hardly call the corruptor secondarys "healer" the closest is thermal and that has other things to it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep yep, when i join a team and get "heal Plz" i just pick up and leave.

Ice/Rad should be wery nice solo, generally anything Ice/ is. Got a Ice/Cold and i solo with him on relentless rather easy theese day, but Ice/Cold is a much slower starter than Ice/Rad.

For solo: Get all three single target blast and both holds. Bitter Freeze ray is skippable team-wice but great solo, despite its animation time. All other powers are not must and pick and choose as you feel, altho i would not skip blizzard just for the fun of it.

i got a level 31 energy/dark armour i've had for a while, and i got all my moves slotted with damage Io's and most of my moves do +64% or more damage, and yet i feel i'm still not getting as much as i can. I've never had too many problems with stamina or getting beaten ingame, infact i think i'm doing pretty well. But if anyone more experiened that me notices i'm doing something drastically wrong, or if i can make my life easier, please give me some help!

By the way here are all my moves with their current slots. slots

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, lets start with accuracy. You want it, probarly 2 in each attack.

Next up is stamina, not sure if you had it or not? As a brute you depend on fury. The more you hit the more damage you do so downtime is to be frowned upon. You goal is to keep fighting non-stop all the way through a mission. So, you will need stamina.

Attacks, you have to many picked and to many slotted. Ussually you want a few basic ones you can use after each other so you always, or almost always, have one attack ready to use. Any more then that is a waste unless the are extreme slow heavy hitters. In your case you have slotted Jump kick and Brawl when you have other better attacks to use.

Your shields are [censored] unslotted. But slotted they are great, so slot them. Trust me. Standard slotting is 4 slots with EndRedux/Resist/Resist/Resist but if you have end issues got 2 EndRedux and 2 Resist. That includes Murky cloud wich you dont have.

Dark regenaration is probarly the best heal in the game. I would always put atleast 5 slots in that one myself, Acc/Acc/Recharge/Recharge/Heal is a good start.

Build up: Great power, put 3 Recharge in it if you want to slot it, 4 of anything in this game is generally i waste because of ED, enhancement diversification or something like that. Meaning that 4 of the same is in 99% of all cases a waste.

Making a real quick sample build i come up with this at level 32:

As you level up more you get more slots than powers, slotting Total Focus, stun, whirling hands (i would personally skip that attack all together) and maybe build up as slots come in.

If you need help in-game i am usually on every evening so feel free to send a /tell @Enkil

Is it really a good idea to announce things like this in advance?

*hears the sound of a hundred stalkers sharpening their claws and fluffing their pom-poms*

I took Mako, for no other reason than i liked him. The hold looks great and is pretty good to stack with my other hold and the cone immob is pretty decent filler power. The patrons are way to much like each other in my opinion.

Yeah AoE on them wont reveal them when you cant see them because a -perception debuff. On my Ice/Cold Corr i usually go wild with AoE´s when debuffed but if im in a team heavy mish and dont get agro i still wont see them.

Granite has only 15% resist, not at all extremely, altho with the 37,5% def it probarly feels like it.

Also i want mor TF! With the recent decline in TF activity my cash deposits have hit rock bottom, i need some new shiny enhancements!

Yeah we will keep it at 2 nights a week, Von and Ivana will just have to create 2 new alts to play!

Good to see you manage withouth DHP :P

Dunno why we cant seem to get our part organised, think it mostly because Von and Fire are busy with other projects and our PvP-interested ppl aint stepping up to the plate.

Well, hope you have a blast, im off to try to organise 19 ppl into 3 balanced "superteams" otherwise i would try get DHP into gear PvP gear...

On the US "extreme" SG bit:

Note that kind of SG dont have ONE SG but 2 or maybe even 3 with one "main" one where you keep your one most played toon, if you dont log in on 3 days you get kicked to the alt SG, not into oblivion you still remain in the SG-community. Also i would guess they have their different SG's coalition so all can still use base and do most, if not all, their chatting in a global chat channel rather than in SG chat.

So dont go yelling "OMG evil heartless Americans!!" unless you know how they have their SG set up. It is great fun being in a competitive SG that runs atleast one event every night.

*self promotion*

The Dirty Handprints have our 1st year aniversy coming up the 26th or so and we have in under a year netted over 45 mil and i belive we have now passed inactive Violators and made 3rd on Union. That comes in at ~3.75 mil/month and i assume first months where slower than that because we net more than that in recent months. And we allow 2 toons in SG and have an Alt SG, and 15 days inactive time unless leaders have been varned about holiday or something like that. Of course all this is thanks to our Great Leader Von, and our SG is a warm happy and wery active place :P

Point is, if it could happen here with this smaller playerbase i see no real problem doing the same on US with a bit tighter rules and netting in around 5-7 mil each month.

Great guide Mime, really enjoyed the read even tho i dont have a stalker.

Shedding aggro is great for your health, but your squishy partner, might not appreciate it.

[/ QUOTE ]

This made me laugh since i remember it happening on Cool, might have been duo with you or with Torin or someone else in SG. Fighting off off mob all goin good, me taking a few hits to many as usual but surviving, one lieut left with full health starts pounding on stalker. Stalker with plenty of health left placates and the mob turns around and kills me dead! Jaw-dropping moment of suprise, no hard feelings tho whoever that stalker was ^^

A little update: We have almost 2 full villain teams ready to go and just over one full hero team.

As someone commented this is more like a scheduled team then a superteam since the only restrictions we have is that it is a team based toon.

Im trying to be the organiser of this so if any questions (non SG related, von handles thoose) feel free to send me a tell on:

Had some problems on my elec armor brute aswell, but i assumed it was working as intended? What is the protection supposed to be and and what is the mag on LB nullifiers stun?

No base builder at all, just a base user with no clue about bases really.

"Your base and you"


What do you use your base for?
Teleportation to different zones, all the time.
Crafting, often but not always. When crafting lots i tend to use the base workbench since its next to vault.
Meeting other SG members, whenever i need to set up a meeting (for trade, look at my new boots, have a chat or whatever) i always have it in the base.
Picking up insp, transfering enhancements between alts.

How big is your base?
Um... pretty big? Got all teleporters, multiple salvage stacks and so forth.


What is your favourite room?
Room with wault and IO-workbench i guess, TP-rrom is a bit boring :P

Did you design the base, did some one else, or is it a shared effort?
Done by one of the officers in my SG, Fire Emperor i think.


How often did your base get redesigned? Was it just for upgrades?
No idea...

What is still missing in your base?
Nothing i can think of... Maybe some more raid defence, not sure how much you need. And a pool, i would looove a pool.


Can you describe your ideal base? (if yes, please do )

Big place with all the stuff. Magic origin (current is Tech like 99% others...) since it looks way cooloest.


Can you think of other questions?
Well, this has all focused wery much on the function of the base, how about its looks? Personally i think our base is kinda dull :P Classic Tech base with standard colors. Gimme a pink cave!

Kill them before they stun you, stun the stunner (beanbag or something for AR aint it?, break free's or team.

I solo all the time on my Ice/Cold and usually open fight by holding the nasty mob so it wont hold/stun/fear me.

Also dont AR have alot of Knockback powers? Knockback is a great damage mitigation solo.

Yeah thats how i always assumed it work, recharge starts after the attack is finished.

But now that i think about it im not sure where i got it from, luckily it aint that hard to test so gonna try it out later tonight.

As you said he is never gonna be as effective as a regular MM but it should be doable, i tried doing a few mish with only my Grave knights out and it went fine.
