I'm not here to help except to bump this. I've been itching to play a blaster with this power set, but haven't the faintest idea how to set it up. BUMP!

Per the most recent Patch Notes (located in Announcements forum) POWERS Immobilize Powers in Controller and Dominator primary power sets should no longer make their targets immune to KnockUp. KnockBack will be converted to KnockDown. This helps sets like Ice and Earth, as their AOE Immobilize power will no longer make their AOE Knockback power useless. Should make all of the above issues regarding immune to KB/KD/KU Moot.

Well I’d love to see it when your done. A build from someone that actually plays it vs a bunch of theorycrafting would be much better

After another few hours of digging, I eventually found a single old forum thread, that just happened to have a few pretty decent builds in it, from some pretty decent players. Here you go. http://web.archive.org/web/20120906024410/http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=262744

Cold/Sonic Defender is supposed to be one of the biggest baddest Buff/Debuffers out there and I've been searching through old forums, new forums, and the interwebs all morning and I can't seem to find more than a single one from a new guy wanting the same thing. Do any of you have a MID's of a Cold / Sonic Defender? Can point me to a guide for one? I am a controller by trade, and have recently wanted to build a single team support toon that will compliment all of my many solo toons. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi, I have a personal COH server that I run and Admin - I am on the CoH discord as Tamorand, and have discussed this there, with pics and vids. To confirm what a lot of people above and below are speculating about, regarding Sudden Acceleration, and the KB conversion to KD. I boosted a Fire / Storm Controller to 50 - and filled up the following with a full set of Sudden Acceleration. Gale Tornado Lightning Storm Bonfire Hurricane The results were as you would expect, all KB was changed to KD Gale knocked the crap out of anyone in it's path. Tornado was like a bully on a playground running every kid to ground, tripping them and giving them a wedgie as they hunted down the next one. Glorious! No more flying around, steady solid KD and damage. Lightning Storm is the goalie that can be placed on one side of the battlefield - you get on the other and as they run away from you, LS face melts them back into play. Bonfire - KD makes this power act like a MAG 6 Freezing Rain with OK damage. Hurricane - now this bad boy. You do NOT lose repel - it doesn't change at all. But when the dice rolls that a KB would throw them into the wall, they simply fall over and continue to move slowly toward where ever you happen to be pushing them. This is straight broken - it is so easy to herd with this now that it feels like cheating. If you don't know, Immobilize is not immune to repel. Cast Fire cages, or whatever AOE Immob your control set is sporting. Turn on hurricane and move them, ever so gently, into the nearest corner, refresh your AOE Immob until they are snugly smushed into the corner. Drop Freezing Rain, Lightning storm, tornado, and finally bonfire. Watch the Bad Guys dance. It's not an AV killer, or a GM knocker-downer - But it will handle 4x8 on a Plant/Storm, and Illusion/ Storm, Gravity/Storm and 0/1x8 on everything else/Storm(i have not tested all the storm combos so YMMV) mostly due to surviving the alpha - I'm sure some of you will happily point out that their Stormy is the best stormy ever and can solo all the things. I'm happy for you. No seriously. I am. Can we just move on? God Karen.... Hope this helps. As to the other elephant in the room, having a personal server is AMAZING. It's easy to setup, you can run it on a crappy laptop or the same machine you play COH "Live" on. Once you do, you now have MID's Hero Designer, but it's LIVE, you can try out every single IO in the game, test it at it's highest potential and decide if you want to spend the time and effort to roll it on "Live". Head over to the Discord servers - I think there's 4 or 5 of them now, and all have links to setup your own server. I love this community, and I'm happy you are all getting to play our game again. I missed each and every one of you, and I hope to see you in there. Look for a giant Ronald McDonald with a Railroad Crossing sign or a Normal Sized Ronald McDonald with a McPhantom Army in red/yellow spandex. :D

What is a typical engagement look like with your corruptor? This seems to work on a priority rotation, but I'm curious what you use for opening, and your first few abilities used in group.?

Sent in my donation. Best money spent in a long time. Plenty more where that came from. Treat us right and you can have all you need.

Excellent update. Personally, I am not afraid to help the team financially but I would want some assurances that the money will be under the control of a dedicated financial team that will know how to budget properly. I am so incredibly excited to be playing again. At first I thought that the nostalgia would wear off and the fact that I'd played AAA titles with the best graphics possible would sway me back to them. But to tell you the truth, all I want to do is play COH now. It feels so good, and the complexities are so deep that I wonder how you could get bored with this game. (outside of farming AE all dang day.... zzzz) All that being said, Thank you for your efforts. It's appreciated, even the trolls appreciate it I'm sure. :-P Tamorand
