    12/30 - Posi 1 & 2 (Level 8-15 and Level 11-16 – Blue Side - Steel Canyon) - Any AT / Costume: something you would wear to a NYE party!

     

    Now you know I can't resist a chance to be sparkly, count me in. I haven't decided yet who shall be the lucky recipient of Rule of Three, Dam Villain, and Positron's Betrayer, but will update here. I've been busy all week still logging everyone in for Home for the Holidays. ☃️
    I am SO enjoying being off work, and my family & I have had a wonderful Christmas.

     

    Edit: I'm bringing my baby dom: L14 Garden Frost - Nature/Ice Dominator

     

    And afterwards 😉😉 if anyone in the mood to spawn a zone Winter Lord, my storm/stone sentinel would love that!

    RE: Sentinels, at the risk of going a bit against the grain, I kinda like when my secondary doesn't require much management and I can keep on blasting. 

     

    I don't consider this going against everyone's grain.... I think I was the only one who stated that preference, and for me it's a fairly new preference. Back on live, my most irritating thing was running out of endurance. I was a recovery fanatic! Once I discovered regen for the recovery, it was glorious. And then when willpower came out, and it had resist and defense and regen and recovery, all rolled into one delicious package, I was hooked forever. (Note that all this is before taking into account IO set bonuses and incarnate abilities).

    So when Homecoming started, and sentinels came to be, I started making them left and right because I was enthralled with the AT! And HC was not stable at first so every day we logged in we didn't know if it would be the last. And I used willpower on all of them! I was obsessed with /willpower sentinels in 2019!  As my playing ability has become more experienced, I yearn for more actions from both sets just for the fun factor. And that is the only reason I was recommending a more lively secondary for sentinels, because that's what I've been experimenting with lately. I hope you enjoyed my little backstory of where my preferences come from 😄 😄 😄

    I think I'll be around so I can definitely help with leading it like back when we did the Halloween event in Oct.

     

    Oh that would be terrific! I'll be in-game as well. Not much holiday stuff in my family anymore with both parents gone, and my sister's and my 4 kids, aged 26 to 30, spread out now and hard to get everyone together at one time. Gone are the days of big family parties at every holiday and occasion. It feels right for this time of my life. I turn 60 next month and I'm ready to have less family obligations and more of my own leisure time for gaming and traveling and hobbies and projects. 

    Anyway, so far this event I've done lots of rounds of BNY missions on big teams, a few Lord Winter's Realm trials, but very few zone GM Winter Lords. i'm open to anything! And may switch characters a few times. Thanks for offering your team/league management duty!

    That's what vacations are for, right? BTW, I created a Rad Blast/Nature Affinity Corruptor, after @Midnyte played one recently on one of themes. I named her Cherry Blossum. (Blossom was not available.) I've got her up to Level 42 this past week, in the limited amount of time I've had to play. I LOVE her! 

     

    Awesome! That's my Poison Petals, and I agree it's a fun combo. I should bring her out to play more often. Mine is only L40 so Cherry Blossum has surpassed her! (btw, I'm off work too until after the new year!)

    Also, thanks for the amazing pictures! I can't believe we got that done with only five, but it was such a fun time.

     

    You're welcome, it's such a fun task for me every week. I agree, it was excellent fun! I saw Cub appropriately scrapping around the edges, and I focused completely on Reichsman too which took all my efforts. I didn't know what was going on around me. I hope that was the right strategy. I seem to remember a time where we were told to switch between him and the mobs that come running in, but I may be thinking of something else. I just kept taunting and attacking and debuffing over and over and over. 😄 My ice defenses are not built up heavily yet for any good tanking but I did okay with lots of inspirations and all that good healing/buffing going on. 😍

    I did not know my tongue was pink! 😄 Thanks for capturing it! 😄 You always capture the best photos!!! I personally concentrated all my powers on Reichsman (sp?), and they carried over to the enemies. It was very cool seeing that captured in the images. You rock!!!

    BTW, we were about 25 minutes late to our party, but it was okay. We arrived just in time to start eating. 😄 

     

    LOL, you're welcome! It's one of my favorite parts as photographer to see what kind of funny closeups I can get!

    Sorry you were late but you got there in time for the best part anyway 😂

    My new Sentinel, Terra Payne, is Seismic/Willpower. She hit 50 yesterday and I outfitted her slots. She's now playing the Maria' Jenkins Arc in PI. She's a lot of fun (my first Sentinel). 

     

    OTR

    Wow, welcome to the wonderful world of sentinels! IMO, it's the easiest AT, well-rounded, all-around fun and easy. Master of nothing yet good at so many.
    I found a seismic/stone sentinel I had made a while ago and was sitting there at L1, waiting for some action. I put her in some Baby New Year missions and she leveled to 18. I'm really enjoying it. Looking forward to trying @Jaxman100's build with the +range bonuses. (btw, great name! Mine is named Terra Tremora. 😄 )

    This idea for Seismic/Stone might be my next alt. The order of powers and slots might be adjusted, and the last three power picks are all for flavor. But this has a decent amount of plus range that helps make Sentinels more fun.    

     

    I made one the other night, played winter event to L18. Love it! Will take a look at your build at some point. Thanks!

    Well, basically the only powers I slot with +Range are usually the cones, to get them nearer to the other range attacks and expand their strike zone without having to move that much.

    I aim for some global +Range for powersets / combos where I have at least 2 good cone attacks that I regularly use, like Full Auto and Flamethrower on Assault Rifle.

     

    Other than that, I don't really care how close I have to get with my Sentinels. They are usually next to the action anyway sooner or later. To a point, where I tab target to the nearest enemy and use my ranged AoE effects as if they were PBAoE...

     

    Sounds like a great strategy... I'll start paying more attention to slotting my cones for range and also global +range set bonuses. Thanks!

    Sents ranged attacks have less range than the blaster equivalents.  So power sets with PBAoE tier 9s work well.   Rad, Dark, Fire all fit into that. 

     

    That's true, and I think it's such a waste to slot for range and try to be more blaster-y IMO. Better to use whatever AoEs you've got and be more in the thick of things. You're built for it.

    Water Blast / Regen is very effective, but I love Water Blast basically on any toon.

    Dual Pistols / Super Reflex is fun, but pistols are fun basically on any toon. SR is a very good DEF set on Sentinels, I hear...

     

    SR is what I built my archery sentinel with. I like it, although the archery set itself doesn't feel as powerful as some of the other sets. Maybe just my imagination.

     

    On 12/11/2023 at 6:17 AM, Bananiac said:

    Seismic/Stone is thematically a very good pair.

     

    Hmm, don't I have one of those? I'll have to log in and check. or maybe it's one I built last year who is still sitting and waiting for her turn. 😄 

    I got burned out on making (not playing) sentinels since I was so overjoyed with the AT since Homecoming, so lately I've been broadening my Midnight Dames army with controllers/defenders/doms/corrs.

     

    On 12/11/2023 at 6:17 AM, Bananiac said:

    All that being said, my best experience on Sentinels is definitely with an Elec/Elec/Elec Build. Beats anything else you can do with Electricity on any other toon, imo! 

     

    Thanks for this opinion! My only electric sentinel is elec/energy and stuck in her 30s for a couple years now. So many toons, so little time...... 🙂

    OK Y'all are making me want to roll-up a Sentinel myself! 

    Got any recommendations for powersets?

     

    OTR

     

    I love sentinels but then again, I'm pretty casual about the numbers for a build. I rarely use Mids, I just slot mostly sets and tweak as I go. So that said, every sentinel I've ever played is fun. Kind of a dream come true for my style of playing where I want all the protections but yet the convenience of ranged attacks. One thing I'll suggest is to choose a secondary that has some button clickies, like radiation, to keep from being bored! haha, as good as willpower is, it's kind of boring, a "set and forget" powerset, and so is regen. I find my favorite sentinels have secondaries that DO something. And I have a lot of flavors! Currently I have six L50 sentinels, and a few more in their 30s/40s. If I had to choose a favorite combination I'd say ice/rad.
    (P.S. If you have a good feel for playing a blaster, you might be disappointed at the lower dps of a sentinel. I personally have never really enjoyed being so squishy so never played blasters much, either on retail or HC. So that's why I say a dream come true for me, being able to play a blaster set but with the protection secondary.)

    I'd say roll up a few and see what flavor you like best!

    That's actually rather odd. I got the temp power in the mission where I found her father. (I got him last, grabbing the 2 relics first.) Mission complete came up and so did the notice for a temp power, with Midnight Visage sitting in my power tray. Maybe it's a sequence thing?

     

    Aha, you just reminded me of a conversation I had with a CoH friend a couple years ago while discussing this glitch. That the power is granted at the end of the previous mission, not when you talk to the contact. Not sure if this matters, but at least it pinpoints where the glitch is happening. IOW, if you don't get the power at mission complete (w/the relics, etc), then you're glitched and not going to get the Midnight Visage power ever. I want to know a solution, Dagnabbit!  🥲 (It's 2 missions that must be completed, but once you're stuck in the cycle you can auto-complete but then have to wait another 3 days to auto-complete the 2nd one!) UGH! 😄Again, not the end of the world, but to me something worth noting.

    Just came home from a busy, busy week that took me to Oslo on monday and Seville on thursday. With an ISO9001 Audit in the office in between. Boy, am I glad to be back home now!

     

    So envious you got to go to Oslo! But glad you get to relax at home now.

    11/25 - Thanksgiving Break - Full Maria Jenkins Arc (Peregrine Island) - Any level...keeping it casual! Any AT/Any Costume!

     

    I'll be there today. Looking through characters now. I found a dark/rad tanker who has Maria Jenkins and hasn't started yet. (not a requirement but why not, right)

    EDIT: Changed my mind and will be playing dark/rad controller (ironically) 😄

    That's an alternate animation i do believe in Psi blast.

    I use those alternate animations a lot on my characters. Especially for the "breath" attacks or "hands-to-head" attacks.

    Bulleit and Four Roses are my standard level for making a cocktail. Woodford, Blantons, Blade and Bow (this is a blend made by the company that makes Bulleit) are my go to sipping Bourbons. I find I like bourbon more than rye whiskey, the higher amount of corn and lower rye is what does it. You might like the Rye Whiskey these places make more. Remember kids every bourbon is a whiskey but not every whiskey is a bourbon.  

    True! Whisky from Scotland is Scotch (note the missing E), whiskey from Canada is Canadian Whiskey, bourbon is whiskey made in Kentucky, any others?

    At Walgreens yesterday I saw that Crown Royal has their Salted Caramel out for the holidays. So guess what I'm sipping on right now? Happy Saturday night! (And no, I don't just buy it for the snowflake pouch 😛 although I do have quite a collection of all the colors 😄 )

     

    EDIT: I just looked at my Crown Royal bottle and it too spells it without the E.... "whisky"..... and it's Canadian. So I think I have my spellings mixed up. 😮
