Controller Guides and FAQs

I have been looking for several days now at the controller build guides I see here on the forum. However I have noticed there is a decided lack of build guides for Earth/Radiation controllers, is that because it's not a popular build or is it not important enough for ne1 to post one?
Or maybe no one has every made it to level 50 with an Earth/Rad controller. Either way if ne1 knows where one is can u plz let me know. Thxs for your kind time and attention

My old Fire/FF guide is now superceded by my new Issue 5 guide which now includes the Sonic Resonance secondary too: Brev's I5 Guide to Fire Control with FF or Sonics

Marker post. All guides posted above this level will be in the update I will be posting in a few minutes for CJ to update above.

Here is my preliminary Issue 6 Earth/Storm Controller guide...
Earth/Storm Issue 6

Updated... Here

Can anyone tell me if there is a guide for Earth/Radiation controllers. If so please post it or leave a link to it, I have not been able to find one. there are guides for earth controllers, or one for Earth/Storm controller but little else. Any help will be appreciated.

Please add:

cforce's Guide to Mind/Storm

on the next update. Thanks!

I have an updated version of my Ice Control, Empathy and Kinetics guide.

Frost's I6 Ice/Empathy and Kinetics Guide

I have written an updated guide that supercedes my old (I4) Mind Control / Kinetics guide. Please include Brev's I6 Guide to Mind Control with Kinetics in the next update - Thanks.

Marker for me. November update completed.

I want to get a loose association of Rad def/trollers on Liberty so that teams with at least several of them can be formed.

I found this recently as I was trying to find some advice for my Mind Control/Force Field, Controller character. I thought this was really useful:

Hedon's Guide to Mind control and Telekinesis

This is a real old guild, pre Containment. In the first couple paragraphs it talks about how difficult soloing is. I can with the utmost certainty disagree with that. Ever since containment I had to boost difficulty to Inv cause the rest was just to easy. And at 48 now, and INV does not have any challange to it. I wish there was a higher setting then INV.

What does the Containment power do, and when does it become available to Controllers with Mind Control?

First off this isn't the place for this post at all, so don't ask questions here anymore. Just to get it clear for you Containment is an inherent power for controllers that they get the entire game starting at level 1 which allows them to do double damage to any enemies that are slept, held, immobilized, or disoriented [the status effect on the enemy does not need to be from you in order to gain the benefit]

So it's okay to make a post about a feature of the game and say how it makes the game too easy, but it's not okay to ask for a clarification of that post. Thanks for the tip.

Man being a controller sucks. Especially in PVP areas. I have a level 36 Grav/FF controller and he does do a good job buffing teammates but when it comes to holding the Villians, its like taking a bath with no water and a dry piece of soap. In order to actually hold someone, I have to damn near spend up my stamina in order to do so and trying to watch my back in the process. I even went one on one witha Corruptor and got my but kicked. Gravity has to be one of the weakes powers in this game when it should be the strongest.

I also have a suggestion. Say if you have someone immobilized, should'nt there be penalty's as far as the victims accuracy and attack speed? I really want to trash this character but at 36, I've spent too much time with him as it is. Is there some way that I can salvage him? I've also competed 3 Reactor missions and swithced powers around just for minor gaines.

Cuppa,

This:
Mind Control, Radiation, Empathy PvE

Replaces my previous Mind/Empathy blah blah blah Guide.

Updated my guide:

Foxmaiden's Ultimate Fire Control Guide (i6)

Guide to Gravity Control [I6] [v1.20051101.0]

Here's a guide that I thought 'trollers would appreciate. Its for getting access to pet control icons for macro purposes, but is good just for getting those icons for our pet control purposes too.
This is the link to it.

Thanks Arinara. A lot of very useful information on Gravity. Should help me with my Dominator.

I have been looking for a really good controller build that will allow me to solo pre 32 and be a god post 32, if there is any such build that is not illusion please help and post it.
Thanks

Try a fire/kin controller. Hot Feet and Siphon Power will be your main dmg dealers (hot feet boosted by a perma-sp). Get into melee range with the target you plan to SP (i.e. like running against him so that you're running but not moving, that range of melee) and use Siphon Power. It should give you a double Siphon Power, 1 from your buff and 1 from the aura around the target. That's a +50% dmg boost to hot feet. Skip knockback powers. Get Siphon Speed to help with the recharge of Siphon Power. Get Hasten. Get Assault+Tactics. Get Combat Jumping, SJ, and Acrobatics. Get imps. Get transference. Get Fulcrum Shift. Get Fireball, Fire Shield, and Consume. You are now a god.
