[Looking for an active SG]

Hey all, I recently started playing and I'm still pretty inexperienced with this game and I'm looking for some people to play with regularly.  I am looking for a Super Group that is first and foremost active.  I've gotten invites from a couple where it seems that 95% of the roster belong to the leader, 4% never log on and 1% is me 😛   If your group is looking for people, let me know here please and thanks in advance.

No, it's not always that easy.  What level was the rest of your team? Were they IO'd out? What was the other Defender?  these (and other things) can all impact how easy a team moves.

 

 

 

Debuffers are technically not needed in any content, as long as the team comp is right.  That being said, they do make all content easier for a team.

 

TA/A is a fun combination, but it really doesn't shine until you get Oil Slick Arrow (26) and EMP Arrow (32) slotted up.  Even then, it will never be a solo beast unless you specifically build for it with IOs.

 

Thanks for the reply.  I'm not really sure what the rest of the team had slotted.  I'm new enough that I don't really even know how to see that.  I think I was level 9 at the time and the group was exemplared to 16/17.  I'm sure that had some bearing on why I felt like I wasn't contributing much.

 

I'm not looking to solo with this guy, I made him to be support.  I just felt pretty useless in that team.    I'll keep plugging away as long as there is a niche for this combo later on.  That's my main concern.  I don't want to be dead weight and only get invited to teams out of pity 😛

[Defender grouping questions]

I am relatively new to this game.  I played a bit back in live but not a great deal.  I don't even think I got to level 20.  I enjoyed the game back then but I couldn't convince any of my normal crew to take it up with me so I stopped playing.  When I heard about Homecoming, I decided I wanted to try it again so here I am.  I have tried out brute, corrupter, MM and stalker but I wanted to try a more support oriented character so I made a defender. 

 

I went with trick arrow/archery for flavor's sake and I have noticed since I hit about level 7 that my time to kill on a single mob has gotten really long.  While I can solo most stuff safely, it's very slow because I kill so slowly.  No problem thought I, I'm a support class so I will just start looking to join groups.  Well, the night before last I grouped up for the first time with my defender and I was pretty disappointed with the experience.  There was one other defender in the group but that wasn't a problem, we weren't stepping on each other's toes or anything.  It just seemed that with a full group, the content became laughably easy.  I felt like I was contributing little to nothing to the team because my debuffs weren't necessary for 8 people to kill orange/red cons.  

 

There's my back story, and here are my questions: 

 

Is running missions in a full group always that easy?  (because honestly, even if I were one of the DPS classes, I would have found that boring)

 

Are debuffers ever 'needed' to do group content?  (I don't want to invest a bunch of time leveling a character that can't solo and isn't wanted in groups)

 

Thanks in advance for taking time to answer.
