Controller superteam - anyone interested?
Interested so far:
Sing Star (smurfite)
DarkVesonix
Hey Man (smurfite)
Cobalt Unit IV (smurfite light?)
Herculon (smurfite)
I will edit this list as people show their interest. The smurfites will have priority.
I've got a Grav/Rad on Union I could play, although I am a little stretched for time atm. Put me down as a reserve.

Well im up for it i can start a new char on union will be ice storm tho
I'm up for it- Tried to /t you in game but no response.
I do quite fancy a mind/kin or mind/ff.
It seems like we're doing the fire/rad troller thing...
I hope... to start up a 8 man team at 7 CET (6 BTM) tomorrow on Union.
A few different build should be ok, as long as all take the +def, +dam and +acc in the leadership pool, and as long as we get 4+ Acc meta! Best would still be if we could all go fire/rad...
Unfortunately I was doing a dam grind for the accolade this night, that got DCd, so if you did send me a tell, I missed it. That accolade is just STUPID! You hear that devs? It's STUPID! (and yes, my main villain DO have the 7th dam badge, and that's even more STUPID, you hear that - STUPID!)
Interested so far:
Sing Star (smurfite)
DarkVesonix
Hey Man (smurfite)
Cobalt Unit IV (smurfite light?)
Herculon (smurfite)
Evander (global?)
Ramite (global?)
Ilusionist (global?)
I would still prefer if we all go fire/rad for simplicity and max bonus, but the most important thing is that we all get the leadership powers methink... mind, Kin, ff etc doesn't really contribute much in this kind of team.
I've just installed Xfire (user name: coxsingstar) I think it would be pretty handy for this project. www.xfire.com
I've done my build (guide at http://doa.team.pro) and I'll be hanging out in the tutorial at 19.00 CET (6 PM for english people)
_Spirit, you're welcome too, I have a feeling at least one of these ppl won't show up!
Once again, the more fire/rads we are, the better synergy. We need all the AM we can get so we don't have to take stamina etc.
...and xfire (http://www.xfire.com) handle: coxsingstar
Update: Bah, it sucks.. You can only voice chat with one person at any given time. It's also HUGE even when skinned.
I'll consider setting up a teamspeak server or ventrilo if you're interested.
I'd be interested, but not as a Fire/ troller. I'd rather go Mind/ or Ice/ if that's ok.

/kin would be a great asset to a team full of /rad. The heal is much better, SB gives better +recov and +rech then AM. FS (+Siph power) gives way better dam buff then AM and ID takes care of almost all mezz protection and KB prot as well. On top of that wit IR + SB you can skip travel powers making more room for other powerpicks (i.e all the leadership).
You'll be a bit lighter on the debuffs indeed, but having at least 2 kins to spread the buff load leaving 6 rad is good enough RI/EF/AM/LR/CC and you'd be killing so fast that anchors don't live long anyway.
*Argh, you were faster then me Fu Arch. I was just editing the mix up of siph speed and sb +rech

SB gives better recov then AM and almost as good +rech.

SB = 50% rech and end rec
AM = 30% rech and end rec
So it gives better recharge than AM aswell.

Sometimes I'm just so stupid - Of course SKYPE is the simplest way to get a good voice chat going. If you don't have it (who doesn't? ) I suggest you get it.
We'll sort out the details if/when people show up!
Some of you people REALLY don't understand the idea...
We MUST HAVE fire/rad - at least 6, preferably 7 of us...
(Well, preferably 8 really)
One kin or something else would work, but slow us down, 2 kins would almost ruin the idea completely. 3 or more and it's just a normal crappy, boring 500 hour to lvl 50 team. Fire/rad is a tried and tested formula. I know they're *wonderful* in normal teams and seem to be nice in this kind of team too, but ... No, they're not!
Please check the guides on the US forums (or the smurfite forum) if you don't understand why I'm saying this, they explain everything pretty well. The basic idea is (very simplified):
1. Stacking - greatly rewarded in the game
2. AoE, AoE, AoE - requires team to stay in tight formation.
I will allow one or two wrong-built to join if we don't get our team filled, but fire/rad trollers will have priority.
Not only that, I will tell the people in the team what powers to take in fire/rad. If you can't live with that go find a normal team. We *WILL* follow the guides very, very close. You can do other superteambuilds that would be cool too, but we've decided on the classic fire/rad troller.
THIS IS A FIRE/RAD TROLLER *SUPER*TEAM we're building.
We *WILL* follow the guides very, very close. (Yes, I did repeat that)
I'll be in the tutorial in 2 hours picking up the people still there (if someone want the isolator badge) then proceed to Atlas park
...and since people will jump on and discuss this until the end of days I wanna make clear that the discussion ends here. I don't care what you think - we're doing it this way, so keep your ideas and thoughts in a new thread or for yourselves:
WE... ---really--- DON'T...CARE!!!
I'm like to join if I can? Sounds like awesome fun
I've formed a Fire/Rad team a while ago. Got bored right after getting imps. So, I guess I'll pass it this time. Fire/ isn't my cup of tea. Good luck tho

Actually, Fire is about the only controller I've never played, so sue me if I want to try something new

Following a preset build just isn't for me

lol, the whole idea IS to follow the preset course.. 8 AM stacked, 8 leaderships (all three "main" powers), imps running around madly... It's so much fun I tell ya! There's still LOTS of room for personal favourites since we don't need swift/health/stamina.
Well, LOTS of people didn't show up today, so if you can get a fire/rad troller to lvl 5 (preferrablu lvl 7) until tomorrow 6 PM we'll probably take you in.
We're 4 ppl at lvl 7 (didn't play long today) 2 more can join from the first team (lvl 20) and one more smurfite hopefully shows tomorrow (Yes, that's you Cobalt Unit IV) With a few more, we'll always have a full team any day and can always SK ppl getting behind.
Send @Sing Star an in-game tell sometime 5 PM - 6 PM if you want in.
Too short notice, and was out. Also out same time tomorrow, too.
Actually when I read the topic "Controller superteam" I found it interesting. But if it's all about Fire/Rad then it isn't that amusing for me.
There are other kinds of teams that can be great fun and a bit more challenging than Fire/Rad. I can see myself having great fun with an All-/FF team for example. Excellent defence (let's go crazy and call it perma-elude), no debuffs (then you actually had to fight) and no heals. This might not be as perfect as Fire/Rad since you probably would need Stamina and wouldn't have heals for a critical moment, but it would definately be more challenging.
All /Sonic could also work. There are tons of players willing to make a Sonic toon just cuz of the new graphs. Beside the graphs, you'd have excellent resistance and great -res potential (8 disruption fields should be quite nasty). Then again, no heals. So what? Dying can be fun sometimes. Superteams should be played nice and slowly (unless you're in a rush for yet another 50).
All /Storm should be fun, but way too chaotic. All /Kin are fairly common. All /Empath should be interesting too, just not my cup of tea.
All /TA? Sure. Excellent debuffs, extra hold, slows, ranged AoE hold. Oh right.. and you get 8 Oil-Slicks.
A mixed team is certainly fun and very powerful.
That said, if anyone comes with any of this ideas, I'm totally up for it. I'm just too lazy to start it myself.

Yeah, I'm about the same. If the thread had said "Fire/Rad super team" I would have left it well alone. Ah well, no biggy.

The smurfs are about to hit lvl 50 with their Fire/rad superteam on Union and I'm thinking about starting a new one if there's interest in it.
We could do fire/rad since it's obviously great, but I'd be willing to try to find some other good combo. I'm interested in trying Grav(lots of stuff flying around), earth(great crowd control at least) or ice(oh, Ice slick I love you) as primary myself. Illusion would probably be good too, since we get the phantoms very early, and with 8 AMs we'd be pretty much perma-PAing
As secondary most builds would do best with rad I think, but it would be fun to see if we could get storm to work, for the cool effects.
I'm thinking that Xfire would be a good program for communication, since Cryptic still haven't considered(?) adding voice chat and none of the coalition SGs have any (open) voice chat server of any kind.
If you're interested, send an in-game tell to @sing star. I will prioritize people I know of course and/or swedes!
