Erm, nope. TP is faster.

What's the point in taking Superjump/fly when it's slower than Superspeed

Hmmm. Ok.

Go go my excellent reading ability. In my defense it was pre-cup-of-coffee this morning.

I'd still take SJ over Superspeed for getting around most zones. Doesn't SJ work at the same speed as SS?

SS is faster, but SJ is pretty fast itself. The thing I don't like about tp is that it is too inaccurate

true, id take SJ over SS, SS just gets me all wound up, I HATE YOU STRIGA!!! 3 mins to get to a mish 500 yards from me

Problem with SS is you get either Combat Jumping or Jump kick to go with it, and with SS you get Hasten which is a godly power.

And back to TP - you have to slot it to make it faster than SS. Slots can always be put in better places.

And I was pointing out that Hasten isn't needed on all builds really. That said I can't think of a Controller build that doesn't need Hasten, especially after the I5 changes to AOE holds.

Nobody needs hasten. I played my controller up to level 43 without it, and I only got it in for PvP because I can stack holds on tanks and scrappers faster that way.

No-one ever needed Stamina either. By taking Haste you make your build infinitely better.

Exactly my point. Nobody needs to take any powers. Some, however, can enhance a build and make it better.

Going to use thunderclap with wormhole, at least that's the plan. I think. Bah long way off

[/ QUOTE ]

Er how would that work? thunderclap is a disorient? and wormhole is also a disorient but moves a mob to a different location? That combo seems daft imo. If your going to couple thunderclap with a power make it the group immobilize.


Oh and as a panic button wouldn't dimension shift from the gravity primary work better?

my 2 cents

[/ QUOTE ]

Wormhole on any that the thunderclap missed what what I meant, dimension shift is another panic button though, I said I want a lot of them, cause I panic a lot as a controller

Surely just finitely better? 1million times better is a finite number after all and I cant see the improvment being over that.

Really?
What are the figures for end recharge with a 3 slotted stamina? Seems to work for me as end runs out a lot without it.

Actually he is agreeing with you here. It is not needed, but it helps a lot. After all you survived till level 20 without it.

That is why they try to steer people away from it. You can just gobble down blues every 30 secs instead or wait for a minute between fights. I was happy that was over and they introduced I6. With the end-reduction on powers and 3 slotted Stamina you are supposed to lose only 8% recovery. I still feel that.

wow ask a bunch of controllers about any pointless powers they have had and learn about travel powers , haste and ss is def ftw mind/empath controller imo


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Well since you asked....

As a Ill/FF controller I find most of my secondary useless. I have had all the powers at some point but currently just have PFF and the 3 core bubbles. The rest aren't worth bothering with for PvE.

couldnt agree more yet those few powers that you DO pick from your secondary really pay off
