Order Of The Cruciform Swords
thanks,anyone else any ideas on the psy?
Thanksy
Yeah - Murderous Mike, my Grav/Eng Dominator over on CoV - I can't seem to do anything with him, he's early 20s lvl wise and seems to be really weak and puny against... well.. anything I'm sure he MUST be good for something, I've just yet to find it. lol
Psy side of things:
Mental blast; just a really poo power, no other way to say it, horrid activation time for the damage done and should only ever be used as a last resort (and even then your probably better off waiting for something else to recharge :f ).
Subdue; good power, reasonable damage and a pretty fast animation, has an ok chance to immob but don't count on it, use this inplace of mental blast as your main weak blast.
Psioncic Lance(snipe); the best ranged snipe in the game without being buffed, it's pretty good but at the end of the day it's just a slow activation snipe and it can be forgotten with a decent tk blast > will dom > subdue chain.
Will domination and TK blast; the bread and butter of this set and I die a little inside each time I see /psy without these two. Good damage, 1-1.5sec activation times, the sleep and KB are ok as bonuses, not really useful but the blasts would still be damn good without them. On my rad/psi I have focused on these two as my big hitters, adding as much recharge in as I can with tactics and RI helping for the acc loss, I have hasten and AM to further bolster the recharge making them into a really fearsome chain.
The aoe's i'm not sure on because my rad/psy is/was built for PvP off the bat. The cone just looks like any other cone and the psionic tornado is meant to be ok but can cause lots of Adds(extra agro from other spawns). The nuke is meant to be one of the better ones, again I can't really confirm or deny this.
PS. welcome Vix
Right then! To get all our lazy bums into gear for PvP we are going to attempt a friendly raid (badges weren't an issue last time but do have an up to date copy of your badges on test). It's the hero SG vs the villain VG so you will have to pick which side to be on, although I suggest you post early as we can't all be on the same side! If you don;t post I guess you will be expected to make up whatever we need at the time. I would like to avoid using the 50s from the SG due to uberness of them vs the villains, so if you can use something between 20 and 40 that'd be ideal, although if you are stuck with the option of 10 or 50 go with 50. As usual, at the end of the day it's up to the individual, I'm just trying to smooth things along.
This is alse an excuse for us to get together as an SG, as it's Plight's 2nd birthday on the day after (I won't be about), so we can [censored] about a bit and maybe do a TF too, or mash a PvP zone up if any1 is on, maybe even raid another SG's base!?
Anyways, try and have TS ready for weds, I'm thinking ooooo 8 pm UK time, god knows what the KotH team is doing, but if they keep moving it i really cba to mess us about.
See you there with my PB (unless my Dom is needed)
Plight
P.S. Villains make sure u enter a base portal near a hosp (I think in Sharkhead it is next to it), this means when u are pwned you won;t have miles to run!
P.P.S. If every would rather we can do it in the VG base, although the nice openness of the hero tp room can be fun i think.
P.P.P.S. When the raid offer is sent you will need to click SG > raid > join, anyone/toon that does not join in the 1st 5 minutes will not be able to join/swap.
P.P.P.P.S. I think you need to see a therapist about that stutter
Weee base raid, i think ill be on the villain side since its my only character in the 40's and we need as many 40 villains as we can get
As my villains are still in their infancy I'll represent the fight against evil. Probably with Robo Medic as he is best fit for the range in question.

Right as you wanted this build in terms of pvp focus on support and heal's thats what ive done here.
First off we have the ever so handy leadership +dmg and +acc powers.
Next is the actuall emp powers which are all self explanatry slotted for max heals and fast recharge ive pritty much kept them all but dumped absorb pain, although a great heal it has no place for pvp means and leaves you as an open target.
As for psi powers ive gone for Telekinetic Blast which is a good move for pining opponents who attempt to flee the battle field. Scramble thoughts was also chosen since very few arch types have resistance to disorents, which are also handy for knocking off peoples toggles . And finaly to make sure you can do some damage ive inculded a snipe which is very good combo'd with hover while flying high over opponents, and psychic wail which is a good finish em move.
Hover will be your main choice of travel power during the battle since its relatively cheap to use and when 3 slotted for speed makes for good speed while still having full control unlike fly.
Psychic mastery powers:-
Being a mind domn i can tell you that mass hypnosis isnt too great a power during PvE and has no place in PvP unless its a single target sleep then it would be ok. Dominate has been slotted for mass stacking and TK has been slotted for end red since its one of the most costly toggles in the game also great for keeping guys out of the match with.
And to finish things off i selected hasten which would be better if we could fit it in earler but i couldnt find appropriate place to put it without compromising the slots of the other powers.
phew hows that?
I will be on for the friendly raid, as FB.
Will download TS as well.
FB
Cool a Base raid never tried that before
I will be there with my villan Lotus Assasin lvl35 mm
I'll go to the side that needs the balance up once the raid starts.
Oh and if we go some PvP (sirens?) i'd like to stick with Gamma (DW) and Hod (G), man we pwnz big time. Stalker tried to AS gamma.. that was a "or die trying" Now to find something to resist fear... tactics right?

Yeah tactics fear res works same as sleep res, just shortens the time you are feared, afaik.
Plight, can you post the TS details, or mail them to me so I can get logged on. TS2 installed as of now.

i dont know how far you have got with this build as far as changing it by now but i would try things out to suit yourself, my emp does pvp, she is a haste-superspeeder, recall friend-tper and has stealth, so far she has been good as a fly by defender (standing still would get me killed) so i am a disappearing act because i just tp anywhere. i rely on the strength of wills for mezz protection and they are easily gained from pvp zones that work for 3 minutes each, having said that she can be kept mezzed buffed by another.
i've got my suggestions next to your listing
empathy.
healaura: - 3rechg/3heal more heals per sec but if im close enough to do that im a bit of a aoe target i like to use this heal as i superspeed past.
healother: - 2 rechg 3 heals 1 range
absorb pain: - 1 heal is 90% of normal hp add 1 or 2 more if you like to heal ppl to full who are normal hp + 40%hp. i have 3 rechg 2 range 1 heal myself 3 rechg may appear suicidal to some but not while i am using regen aura it isnt.
cm: - i like mine quick-fire and do everyone fast before heading out or doing as many people i get the chance to as the moment arises and then proactively buff when i can in case i dont get to when people need it (3 rechg 1 end 2 range)
fort: - mine is 3 rechg/3 def it has enough tohit to use against +5 lvls once people have slotted plenty enough accuracy for themselves tohits is more low level necessary. But 3 people eluded is nice and if you as an emp recieve adrenalin boost then omg more people are eluded.
rez: 1 slot - your gonna have to find the slotting yourself but i like atleast an endurance
RA: - you could empty to 3 rechg test it, i would certainly lower the end cost as well and see how many end mods you think are required
RegA: - same as above except 3 heals, this is counter to rads basically 3 heals maybe best way to go.
adren: - i have 3 rechg, 1 end, 1 end mod and 1 heal but go on your personal findings, have a rad defender use their -regen on a team mate in pvp and see whats required.
mental blast: - not enough damage to worry anyone but the -recharge secondary effects in psionics can help the team if spammed and to a minor extent but i just have an acc.
psy wail: - atleast worth 2 accuracies
hasten: - 3 rechg now
fly - i like to flyby heal with ss or appear buff and disappear with tps, there are -fly attacks about a plenty and then you have no travel power.
leadership - im never hanging around in a group to get a good smacking and ive seen defenders trying to make it useful in arena matches, defenders tended to be chased away from the group and killed off more often than anyone, id much rather be hard to get and slip in the occasional buffs and carry on being hard to get, having said that the team allowing that to happen maybe perhaps down to bad team dynamics.
health: - health is ok of you think hurdle or swift would be useless to you other than that you have heal aura
stam: - 3 slots is all thats worth having
psy mastery - this set i love, why blast one or two at a time and be hit back when you can try to control and forget about them for a while?
dominate: - ive got this 2 acc 3 hold 1 rechg iirc
mass hypno: 2 acc 1 end 3 rechg its a toggle dropper to many due to it being a sleep, chances are if they require 2 acc to hit they could be resistant to sleep or depending on what their buffed like are they?
mind over body: - whatever you feel necessary, i live all the psi res i can get but you wont see that much in pvp
telekin: - this is like gold imo 2 end slots 2 range (it has a wider cone then) and 2 rechg to get it back reasonably quick after someone has killed your anchor, not as good as a controllers telekinesis but i like it for defensiveness.

Cool, managed to add the TS server to my list of channels, thanks Plighty dude
base raid could be fun, just let me know when
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
All good guys!
Hammer, If the goonies are up for a raid we would surely be interested in it, no real bragging rights at stake tbh 'cos we are all learning still, our base doesn't shoot at people either, it just kind of pretends to be an arena so far XD.
If you're up for it, throw some ideas at me time/datewise in game on global, you can join the SG channel too if you need.

When one side outnumbers the other its boring and thats from a larger teams point of view from a raid ive had on union. We had this once and we was wondering why we even bothered as we won easily and it was a "so what" situation. Balancing up things nicely makes it more interesting imo.

We had a little team going yesterday, random talk about our sets and its uses. We came up basicly that our VG seem to have a nearly unbeatable teamsetup, might be great for lvling.
Keith - kin corr
Exus - ice corr
G - thermal corr
me - sonic corr / TA debuffer
Abu, plight, mars - br000ts
Probably some others, but these i can remember.
If we setup this team, we're talking cap resist all (no psi) (thermal/sonic buffs - aoe hold/imm/stun resist), massive def (ice boy) and speed boost (kin). Not to mention the damage output of all players together. I gues we can setup such team once to see how it goes? Not sure if all lvls are properiate to sk/lackey/whatever to make it solid, but just a thought.

What can i say that raid was awesome true both sides where ganking spawn points but its was alright overall
Was also funny how a vast majority of villains forgot their raid deploy disrupter pylons But i forgot to metion that at the start so partially my fault
Hey guys,
Sorry i couldn't make the base raid, some personal stuff came up tonight.
Hope you guys had fun
Okay, from what I've picked up with Robo Medic I'd recommend the following:
Heal Other: 3 x heals / 3 x recharge reduction (maybe 2 with 1 range)
Heal All: 3 x heals / 3 x recharge reduction
Absorb Pain: As this is for pure panic mode (when a team mate redlines) I tend to only have 1 x heal, 1 x recharge reduction, 1 x range - the heal with this is quite powerful and probably does not need further enhancing.
Clear Mind: 1 x recharge reduction
Fortitude: 2 x defence / 2 x To Hit / 2 x recharge
Resurrect: 1 x recharge
Recovery Aura: 3 x End Mod / 3 x Recharge
Regen Aura: 3 x Heal / 3 x Recharge
Adrenalin Boost: 2 x End Mod / 2 x Heal / 2 x Recharge (maybe 1 x Heal / 3 x Recharge as you should be able to keep the recipient healthy)
Hasten - 3 x Recharge
Stamina - 3 x End mod
Basically slotting anything with more than 3 SO's is a waste of slotting, and the slots you save can be better used elsewhere.
I can't comment on the Psy side of things as Robo has Rad as his secondary.
I hope this helps somewhat
