This thread is for posting Guide or FAQ links for Controllers. Please create your guides in the "Player Guides" forum (since posts in that section do not roll off) and link the thread here. Also, do not post your guide in this thread - only the link to your guide. For non-Controller guides, check the master list of all Guides in the Guide to Guides.

Failing any clear identifier from the poster, I will go by the original post date vs. Issue releases (I1: 6/30/04, I2: 9/17/04, I3: 1/5/05, I4: 5/5/05, I5: 9/1/05, I6: 10/28/05) - e.g., if it was posted in March/05, it is an I3 Guide.

Guides appearing here were gleaned from links posted in one of the "Guide to Guides" threads (the Controller GtG or the GtG threads in the "Player Guides" forum). We cannot sift through the hundreds of individual threads to find a posting, so be sure to 1) place your guide in the "Player Guides" forum, nowhere else and 2) post a link to it in a "Guide to Guides" thread!

Wohoo, I'm on the list now. I've officially become a celebrity. This is where all the easy money and women start rolling in, right? Right?

If by "easy money" you mean people PMing you with questions and "women" you mean, keeping your guide updated as the game changes...

Yes

If it wasnt posted in this thread it didnt get included. I took any guides posted after my last update in January and added them. If there were any threads that had gotten deleted somehow in the purges their links were deleted as well.

hi all i was searching on the forums and thru this topic and i cant find any guides on Fire/Kin, the only one i found had a broken link any help is much appreciated


 

Posted

The Ultimate Fire Control Guide, written for I6 should still be reasonably accurate considering there haven't been any really big changes in either powerset since.


 

Posted

my apologies, i didnt realize i was in the Controller forums, i was actually looking for Corruptor. My bad


 

Posted

Ah...in that case, that guide probably wouldn't help you much


 

Posted

you'll see alot of good fire/kins out there but not a guide to one too bad might have to consider making one


 

Posted

A non-forum reading friend seeks a solid PvE Stone/Storm. While I may be able to assist on the storm side, my work with stone as a control primary is somewhat minimal. Any advise would be appreciated.

Anything for Ice/Sonic? Anything at all?


Paragon Studios, thanks for all you've done. You've made this a great game, and a great community. I see this as six years well-spent. NCSoft, I'm seriously disappointed in you. This is not how you get or keep customers.

The I6 'Tom's Foolery' Ill/rad guide in the list upthread still works fine. My ( recent ) 50 is mostly based on it.
