Super super team idea stolen from the US boards

A vert similar thing had been done with */rad corrupters in my VG, i got sick of the word Rad being past about like its the "in" thing, but its best not to be so strict on powersets and perhaps have a choice of either primary or secondary and make whatever one powerset that floats your boat the theme to get people interested.
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.
You mean like this team?
Maybe a general all-troller team would be more 'fun' 
Any all controller team would rock but I think a team of rads is a waste 6 rads and a sonic and a bubbler would be much better having mez protection, then some +def and +res to go with all the -acc and -dam but any all controller team would be awesome.

theRegulator Empathy/Energy/Soul Defender
Total Inertia Ice Blast/Kinetics/Psy Corruptor
Total Inferno Ice Blast/Thermal/Leviathan Corruptor
Kinetic. I'd want a kinetic or two. Think of the lovely crunch.
Four rads would be more than sufficient in my opinion.

All of this is dealt with in the US post linked. Due to the stacked AM, you really want this perma which requires six+ (or so). I suspect some of the requirement for "all" rad is due to wanting it perma while getting up to SO level.
I can almost see the use of a sonic or bubbler, since it does remove the requirement for stimulant.
But honestly, it sounds like great fun on a conceptual level and if I could spare the time, I would love to join (I have a fire/rad on every server I play regularly, and two on union). Before anyone thinks I'm therefore biased, I also have fire/kins, mind/storms, grav/ff, ill/rad ... etc.
ANY all controller team would be great (mucho containment) and I in fact used to regularly play a duo of Mind/Storm and Fire/Kin and got them through a number of TFs. Plus the time I spent on the all dominator team shows just how effective total control can be. Couple that with lots of buffs....
However, if you want to start (another?) all fire/rad group, go for it and have fun. Let me know if it is as insanely great as I suspect it will be.

you into the world
It's great fun and I wholeheartedly recommend trying it out.
Would recommend a single ill/emp on the team though....that basically covers all your weaknesses with stuns and alphastrikes.

I've seen parts of the all Fire/Rad team street hunting before, they were cutting through mobs so quickly.
Personally I'd love to try an all-controller team but I'd prefer mixed sets not dictated by the team leader personally.

Speeeeeeeed booooost. Not that it helps much before SOs of course, being a level 20 power pick, but you definitely don't need six lots of AM to get it permanent with two lots of speed boost.
I understand the reasoning behind it, I'm sure at higher level it'd be a fun team, I just don't think all rads is the "best" option if you're looking to max out. You'd definitely want a good few though.
Either way, I like all squishy teams and debuff heavy teams, I think they're my rebellion against the time wasted in pick up teams when someone decides that we absolutely can't move without a Tanker and an Empath, but I do find that at lower level they aren't as much fun if they don't include a dedicated damage dealer or two. At higher level I have to be honest and say with the right mix of primary, secondary and ancilliary sets, all Defender/Controller teams can manage just fine on damage without, and I find them a lot of fun.

Sounds like time for another all squishies invincible respec 
Back on topic..I was part of an all ill/ controller team back when we played on the US servers, although we all had different secondaries. We never did find anything that presented much of a challenge

Before pets, they might be a bit slow unless you go for a min/maxed team (i.e. enough /rads to keep AM up, a few fire/ for Hot Feet, at least one ill/ for PA etc.). After that it doesn't really matter and I would also recommend allowing people to choose whatever sets they want. If you make it to Epics, you can just laugh your way to 50 
. If this happens on Union, we have an all-controller SG (Union Overlords) in case you're ever short of a person or two .

I need the last one on my kinetic actually... I have a cunning plan.
Thnx for all the replies guys.
Like I said in the OP rules on powers and or powersets doesnt have to be as strict as mentioned in the topic I linked to. Afterall it's a game and we all play it to relax and just have some fun in general.
we did the shadow shards TF 4 with 6 trollers and the anti fathim AV went down in less then 10 seconds
Count me in with my baby ill/rad dfine sounds like a lot of fun
We did this with an all-controller team in the 1AT, starting from level 1 to level 22/23 ish before we broke up. Believe me, it was pwnage, utter destuction of mobs. Great fun.

Since I seem to be short of anything that even remotely looks like a team at all. I'de like to ask if you guys have room for one more troller.
He's currently only lvl 15 so he might be a bit young, but not to young I hope.
Cheers

We probably do. Either post on our boards here or send me a /tell in-game @Okton and we'll sort you out an invite. We are in coalition with 5 other 1AT SGs (as well as some others) so there's usually enough people to find a team at all levels (although you do have to put up with some n00bs like Jummy ).

Cool ty.
I'll try to contact you ingame. Think I'm gonna be on for quite some time tomorrow. 
As a member of "Children of the Phoenix SG" from the outset I can say that yes the concept is great and its a lot of fun and furious action, however a lot of folks get bored with it very quickly. 
I believe there are only three active members left in the SG now and we are all almost into our 40's. having 3 AM 9 Imps and all the debuffs you could want AV's and GM's do not last very long against us.
From 1 to 16 was really fast then members got bored and started leaving I had to take a forced hiatus from the game and it slowed us quite a bit I was still 26 when the other 2 members were 32 but with their help I was up to 32 in a week
The push from 32 to 38 for me has taken maybe a week of game play but we can now take on almost anything between us and TFs are a walk in the park.
In conclusion the idea is fantastic but definitely requires people to be patient get past the stage where hunting as a team is best XP and move to missions. Team with as many people as possible to keep the mix fresh as being uber team can get stale very fast. Finally let people have freedom with their builds everyone with the same powers speeds up the boredom factor too.
But if you feel like tagging along with 2 or 3 of us on Defiant send me a tell or look for Misstrix and Professor Radburn, we always welcome extra fire power on the team.

Actually my Fire/Rad is 38 too and semi-retired due to the pain of the late 30s grind. If you guys have a slot I'd take you up on that offer.

Kinetic. I'd want a kinetic or two. Think of the lovely crunch.

[/ QUOTE ]If you're gonna take rads, you might as well get 8, or maybe 7 and one sonic for RES and mez protection. Kin is unnecessary with 7 or 8 rads, since AM gives everything kins can give, without hitting caps so easily (Two kins can +damage from decent mobs with FS for example).
Radiation Emission has nothing that gives resistance to slows. Kinetics does.
Radiation Emission also has nothing that gives knockback or other status protection, even though you'd only get held briefly with AMs resistance stacked up, you'd still have to retoggle. Kinetics does, although doesn't help with sleeps of course.
Radiation Emission has nothing that can directly give you back endurace, I'm assuming at least some of those rads are going to be taking EM Pulse. Kinetics gets round that nicely, transferrance allows character to keep running all toggles through the -regen time.
More importantly, Radiation Emission has nothing that makes a great crunch noise. Kinetics does.
Sure no problem just send us a tell I'm 39 now the prof is almost 42.
As for End and Toggles I can't say I've had many problems since hitting SO's as I have always included some End Red into my slotting and AM really helps with recovery esp if there are 3 or more /Rads on board, since the Imps do most of the hard work debuffing the big bad and keeping the little fellas up is pretty easy.
I might have to resurrect my fire/kin after I'm done with Miss.

Ellow fellow controllers out there. I've just read a topic on the US boards and was wondering if there's ppl out there who would like to start something rather similar here on the EU servers.
This is the topic I'm reffering to:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...art=1&vc=1
Looks like some serious fun to me. And should work out brilliant even with alot less strict rules.
ps only second post on these boards, and I've did a quick forumsearch but couldnt find anything similar. But plzz dont flame me when it appears I'm beating on a very dead and longtime burried horse.
