Rock! I need to get a team of all energy^2 going some day. |
Last year we had started a "green lanternish' sg called the PULSARS. We were all Energy Blast/Force Field defenders. LOL. Talk about damage and defense. Had a team of at least 6 of us and we were back to back nuking mobs and dealing damage like crazy. It was damm fun!

I really like the 'feeling' of power with the knockback/sound effects. My Energy/Energy blaster uses hover, so the knockback is generally knockdown. I tend to use the set mostly as a single target set because the mass knockback of the aoe's can be annoying no matter how good you get at controlling it. The cone attack is nice though if you want to mitigate an alpha strike.
When teaming with random people, ie PuG's, I find it helps to a) hold back on aoe's and b) let the team know that if you knock it back, you intend to kill it. I'm not saying 'don't use aoe's', just saying to learn to recognize those circumstances where your aoe damage will be overshadowed by the knockback. Hover-blasting from above the spawn solves a lot of these issues though.
And Nova is just pure win.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I'd rather of a full team of Storm/Energy...
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name
