Lords of Lag

With tonight's Freedom slide show imminent I was wondering who the classes are that do well in the oceans of lag events. Clearly it can't be melee types, when you slow down to an attack a minute the time you spend moving from target to target is pretty painful. I also suspect single target characters are not doing well. That one attack may hit like a train, but if it is once every week what can you do. So that leaves us with ranged aoe, and the one I suspect is king, pet classes. Ranged AOE is fine if you have a mob of targets out there, but pets are run on the server itself so I suspect they are getting in more normal attacks as they don't need to push buttons. As I was watching the AVs fall last night I knew someone must be hitting them and I was only getting a shot in every minute or so, who was it? Who is the lord of lag?

Note: I had fun on Pinnacle last night and am headed into Freedom tonight, this isn't a whine. I am just curious who is the least impacted by the lag soup type events.

Agreed. Masterminds and Controllers would probably beat others out tonight. Just cast them, set them to aggressive and go make a sandwich. Or, in tonights case, probably make a cake or build a garden.


Main Character: Ice/Storm/Ice Controller (Justice, 1340 badges)

Yeah my claws scrapper was a sad puppy on Freedom. I still enjoyed the events, it was cool seeing the crowds out, but it wasn't really playing City of Heroes at all. I should have rolled up a mastermind for night. Still, got my badge and got to be a tourist.
