Think im ready from about 7-8pm tomorrow evening And it would be nice for you guys to hit lvl 10. If we rush your Wincott missions and do all four-five Frostie mish's it should be doable

Yeah, i'll be one from about 7. Doing a whole load of Frostfire's sounds like a grand idea, but remember not to get them all at the same time, or we will out-level them

I should be on around 7 too. If you aren't on i'll just solo Sunrod for a bit before everyone gathers.

I've been trying to make a build for Earth/Empath but am really struggling

There are what looks like so many good powers i don't want to drop and, but keeping them would mean sacrificing a lot. We'll need to chat about this later to see if it is worth me going total support/control and sacrificing other things like travel pwers etc, as vDs could in theory get me around...

Had a look at the powerset, there are def a couple of earth you don't need, and a couple of the secondaries.
Factoring in recall friend, hasten and ss as travel power, and swift/health/stamina and that takes you to the epics with a couple of missing primary and secondaries.

Bugger 8:00pm tonight defiant vs union on the test server I want to be there to pw3n them deviants. P.S. what lv is every one at the mo and I will try and get carnival. up to that lv

I'm 6-7 i think? But then i did re-roll my toon into Eatrh/Empathy and pl'd him


 

Posted

Ms Zero is lvl 8 atm.
I think we are 6/7/8/9/14. Something like that.


 

Posted

Reckon i might head over to test for the rumble tonight too.


 

Posted

Hmm, might have to dust off Sulphur then...


 

Posted

Sorry guys but i was so close to lvl 15 that i decided to go for it. But i'll stop lvl'ing now of course. Just wanted ma fancy title
Anyway. Let me know if you're done with the test rumble anytime soon. Maybe we can still make a little gaming session tonight


 

Posted

Right guys, you're probably going to end up killing me But... I've thoroughly checked out all controller builds, and if i'm taking one to 50, i'd like to have something i deem 'good'... So... I'm going to re-roll one last time into an Ice/Storm Controller. I'll level him up when i get back about 7ish and meet up with yous. As long as i can get to 5 relatively fast, i can join The Hollows missions with you

And a big plus point... Ice/Storm seems to be ultimate control of mobs


 

Posted

What you like!
I couldn't get on last night. Had some internet issues then thought i'd get an early night.
Should be on tonight for 7ish.


 

Posted

You know me And from what i've read, Ice/Storm is a powerhouse, so should be good to play


 

Posted

Thankfully i'm planning on aid other and aid self then!! I'm certainly gonna need it now!


 

Posted

I get O2 boost

Taking it anyway for safety!

Good looking build. Loving the PFF at the end there


 

Posted

It's kinda cookie cutter in a way, build for pvp for the pentad, but should work great in pve too. Wasn't sure on stun at the end of whether to put in energy punch earlier. I don't use energy punch much on 46 though (need to respec her too...got a wicked pvp build in mind), mainly bonesmasher and tf. PFF was the only power i thought might be handy from the epics.
Haven't taken the ice nuke, so no clearing massess of mobs at once in pve. I'm sure we'll manage tho!

I've had a thought.
I might decide when we get to 25ish, to play Sunrod instead.
She is sonic/electric and i'm thinking it could be quite good.
It's very much a short range build, or very much a blapper. But it could be very good in pvp. As sonics have -res, it's very handy for taking out tanks, in fact anything really. The electric secondary is good close up, and whilst i'll need some help with slotting for things like power sink, the elec secondary attacks are very good.
With a stormy around i can just stick close and blap from there.
Was thinking of re-rolling or just playing on till 25 and seeing how it goes.
For re-rolling, I'm not sure sonic/energy would be worth it. i.e. how much powerboost would help the debuffs and the sonics set.
Alternatively i could re-roll as ice/elec. I'm thinking it could be a very good combination.
What do you think?


 

Posted

I've never been sure about ice/elec due to their effects really not complementing each other; how can the relatively small ammount of end drain you'll do compared to elec/elec or elec/NRG have much effect when the mobs that you arre attacking use abilities at a slowerat a slower rate, You'd be much better improving the effects with NRG or the directly complentry power sets.

Just my thoughts.


 

Posted

It is a good thought Rogue. Energy secondary compliments pretty much all the other primaries. Why i've gone for ice/energy in the first place.
However, come pvp, it's the most normal build around. I like to try something different and a little unexpected. Something that's harder to counter.
I wouldn't be using the /elec for the end draining effects particularly, except for powersink, the damage and secondary effects on teh powers are good though, combined with ice slows it could be quite fun.

Well, unless your set on ice, how about taking fire/NRG. Sure, there is no secondary effect to boost with powerboost, but it can still boost your appraoch speed with the Godly Hover. LEt me explain what I mean:

*/energy sets hit hard. SO the best bet is to stalkk, but being a blaster, you have more tircks up your sleeve than they do. With Rogue, my strategy is to hover above the enmy, invisible, pick a target, hit powerboost, hover in, hit aim + BU and toggle drop then freeze the opponent is they are a toughie. The element of surprise works great in PvP for blasters.

FIre/NRG could work similar but due to the higher damage and the snipe it,s an even better squishie kiler. Without freezeray you may want to take stun for the toughies, but the high damage you can dish out will make it a brilliant, quick killing PvP build. Different to. You don't see many around. Combine it with elec anchillary and you have one uber combo.
