Cuppa,

this,

Mind/Empathy Control (support) -by Enantiodromos

replaces my previous version of my guide. If there's some rule elsewhere that I'm just supposed to post to the last guide thread I created indefinitely, mea maxima culpa.

Choosing a Controller V2 | Splattrollers | Plant/Rad | Fire/Storm | Mind/Emp & Mind/Rad
Weird Controller Powers | Conf & XP/Time | Controller Damage
Being a Healer | The word Necessary | Natural Concept Characters

I am currently in the works and building a grav/rad controller, and will have the build up for a 1-32 build. Look for it soon.

Fyi, also have an ene/ene flight blaster build ready to go up. And as i had seen this request in this thread, i have worked out an Illusion/force field guide (for the teamer, non solo) that will be up shortly as well.

Keep in mind i work all my builds that you will be seeing going forward off of real experience builds, as i have seen some that are run off numbers only, and posted thoughts on optimum. I don't build as such, all my build sare in game work ups. Most of my builds will have a suggested optimum, and an alternate optimum choice to avoid cookie cutting while retaining "uber 1337 pwnz." Stay 'tooned'!!!

Good point

Kaigames Guide to Earth Controlling 2.0

If you think things can't get any worse, it's probably because you lack sufficient imagination

Are there any good guildes for MC and weather? The only one here is dated 9/04. if not, i'm willing to create a guide although, i'm only level 10, but it should be able to give some basic advice to some people who are just starting out.

Can anyone make a Grav/Rad Guide or post one with a link that works please? I'm in the process of leveling my Controller but need guidance with powers/slotting.

I'm pretty sure it will take a little while for new guides to come out, since Issue 5 is on test.

I have some questions myself but I'll let my sig line talk for now. :P

Upsen.

Did the DEVs already put in a stealth nerf on controllers in the live servers? I tried playing my lvl 13 Ice controller last night, and was totally ineffectual against white and yellow mobs. I was getting maybe 40% accuracy with all my attacks, versus white conned vahziloks. Tried some street hunting of outcasts, same result. I have acc enh on all of my attacks and also was using acc insp. I still could not hold squat.

I have only ever made three guides. All about controllers. I guess I should finally list them.

<ul type="square">[*]Completely Irrelevant: The Vision Thing: Controllers - This was a cataloguing of Statesman quotes in relation to controllers that I stopped maintaining when they changed the board policy to keep redname posts forever. But there are some links to some old interviews for those who care[*]Needs Updating: 5 Best Solo Controller Builds - Always been floored at how popular this was. I've linked to a recent post where I have posted some first draft I5 builds for solo controlling. Will update in a month or two when I've played enough I5.[*]Ready for I5: Pilcrow's Phantom Army Guide - The results of the Should I Perma-PA thread (no, you shouldn't ) turned into a decent guide to Phantom Army. Hope it helps some people.[/list]

There any decent Ill/Emp guides out there? I'd love some insite about slotting for that combination. I hjust can't seem to find enough slots to put into everything that I'd like....

 

Posted

Ill / Emp is one that depends entirely on what you do. Solo vs teaming, your role on a team, etc. There are so many GOOD options (rare for a set of two powersets), it's very hard to choose. Slot to fullfill your purpose, and count on respecing. Putting your slots evenly among all your powers isn't really a good option...have a few signature powers fully slotted, and fill in the rest as you reach higher levels.

Any fire/rad or fire/kinetics guides post issue 5?

 

Posted

Does anyone have any numbers crunched for the powers and hold times/specs sorta like the ones for the tank and scrapper

Any idea on when you'll be done updating your guide? I'm a big fan of it and I'm trying out the builds to see which suits me best. Also is fighting a must have for your Fire/kin build? I want to try sneaking fitness in.

Edit: This was a question for Pilcrow btw
