  1. i would love to do a Hami raid blueside. It's one of the things on my "to do" list that I haven't seen many opportunities for
  2. I'm still playing around with my Emp/Archer build and I'm trying to decide on the power pool sets. My biggest pet peeves are being mezzed and knockback, so this is what i got and slotted with IOs:

    Combat Jumping
    Acrobatics
    Temp Invulnerability
    Stealth

    I would like to add the leadership pool, but it would mean sacrificing one of these: jumping, teleport, or stealth powers.
    If I sacrificed jumping for leadership, and traveled around on TP, would it be worse defense than what I already have?

    Stealth and TP, I must have. Jumping, I really enjoy, but I think Leadership might be more useful.

    What do you guys think?

    IO bonuses

    If i slot one set of IOs in one power (ex: luck of the gambler)
    and the same set in another power, do the bonuses add up?
  4. thanks! officially been schooled. time for another respec..XD
  5. I've been working on my Emp for a while now and before my last respec, I had the leadership set with power boost. Playing her with this, I was able to help teammates do some crazy damage. This got me wondering, what combination could make up the ultimate buff and is there a cap on how much of a buff you can give?

    This combo seemed to work out strongest:
    1. Tactics toggle and Maneuvers toggle on
    2. Power boost (5slot to hit buff)
    3. Vengence activated
    4. Fortitude (5 slot to hit)

    Result: Single superbuffed troller killin an AV

    I respecced all that out because I wanted TP back, so i gave up Leadership. But now i'm thinking about putting it back on for my second build. What do you guys think? Do you think all that is excessive? Or is there a way to get more bang in there? Is there such a thing as the ULTIMATE buff?
  6. As I've been playing my new PB, I've been observing other Kheldians on the server and noticed that there seem to be more WS than PBs. I chose the PB because I like the theme behind it, but I'm wondering if the WS have more attractive bells/whistles (e.g., inherent TP). What do you all think? Which do you prefer, WS or PB? Why do you think one is better than the other?
  7. Wow! Thanks for the info.

    I play my Kheld on Triumph. Thanks for the bind. Really helpful
  8. yeah, i did see "quant" and "void" but you're right, they were never really a threat. My first 50 is a emp/defender, so I didn't focus on targeting so much on teamed mishes. Soloing as a def, everything was hard, so it didn't make a diff that way either.

    thanks!
  9. I just started on my new PB and was running a few mishes in the Hallows when I discovered that I kept getting sniped to death in a troll mish. When I looked at my combat log, I noticed that the Trollkin Gunners had some kind of weapon that was "specially tuned" to my frequency. The whole rest of the mish I had to target the gunners and try to off them before they killed me (which became difficult in a room of 4 gunners).

    Are there any other baddies that have this "special" type of blaster that hurts Kheldians?
  10. I apologize for the misnomer. I don't care either way, but I can be accommodating. My Empath/Defender is also an archer, and yes, her greatest strength is the shiny blue aura she throws out every few seconds. The healing aura is quite useful too; however, according to her many grateful teammates.
  11. Thanks, very helpful.

    As for this:

    Also, please don't identify yourself as a "healer" or fall under the false assumption that heals are the best form of team support available to a Defender.

    Don't recall doing that, but thanks for the reminder? Just wondering why some other folks' heal powers were stronger than mine.
  12. I've slotted 5 slots to my healing powers, but I'm still not getting the same amount of healing as others I've seen in the game. With SO Enhancements, I get about 260+, and a little more than that with IO Enhancements on my lvl 46 healer. Some people are able to get 500-700+ heals. What enhancements are they using?
  13. I've noticed the numbers thing too.

    My iMac starts lagging really bad whenever my character is traveling around a Wentworths or AE site. Like she usually stops mid air and travels forward like 1 frame per 10 sec.

    Sometimes my mouse curser becomes invisible and I have to restart the whole program to bring it back. Or the cursor becomes anchored to the center of the screen, each time I try to drag it away, it's pulled straight back to the center.
