Whoops, I got so sick over the last week I totally forgot about theme team last Saturday. Good luck this weekend y'all!

I think I should be free this time. I'll bring Femme Flametale - Fiery Melee/Rad Armor Scrapper

I unfortunately can't make it today; too much other stuff happening at the time frame we run these. I hope you all have fun today.

Lessee, I think I have a couple of characters who have civvie costumes for various purposes.

Interesting, so you're almost better off not trying to plug Stone's lack of heal via your secondary powerset. Though honestly, I wonder how badly you even actually need to fill that hole given the stats you came up with in your original iteration, not to mention inspirations and later on, incarnates.

I'm just going to mention that you will see +4's even on a +3 setting; that's how the game works, even when you play at +0. At +0 some enemies will con even to you, and some will con one level over you. That doesn't change just because you upped the difficulty settings.

Geeze Sovera, as if I needed yet another alt. 😛 Talking about Stone's lack of a heal though; Rad Melee might be kind of bad, but would Dark Melee pair well with Stone to have that extra heal (should someone want to go that route)?

I will bring Environmentabot - Bots/Nature MM

I was only kind of skimming, but I see a lot of talk about how busy Electrical Affinity is and I noticed that you missed a key element in your write up. Standing in Faraday Cage lets you build stacks of the charge effect thing. This set is only as busy as you make it, and if your team is good, you don't have to be pushing a button just because it's up.

I will bring Botanical Pathogen - Plant/Poison Controller

The T3 I think is a single target ability you use to speed boost yourself. The mez protect ability is maybe the only thing /Kin can't do to themself, but the vast majority of buffs Kin provides to others, it also provides to itself.

Erm, you are aware that every buff /Kin provides to others it also provides to itself, yeah?

Yeah, this concept using the helmet seems to work so much better on the Huge bodytype, which is something I hate using personally lol. I will enjoy seeing what y'all who use it come up with!

I had to go log into her and double check lol. It is the Tendrils -> Eye Tendrils aura

I will be there on Fae Tastic - Time/Storm Blast Defender

This first one is my attempt to replicate that cool use of the dragon helm on the female body; it's not quite as good, the helm doesn't come down far enough/chains don't go up high enough, but it was a fun experiment. Froste Dragone - Ice/Fire Tanker New costume for Grievous Imposition, my Dual Blades/Energy Stalker It's been so long since I've played/posted that I can't remember if I showed off this look for Sister Apocalypse, but I'm rather fond of how it turned out.

Why would you skip the heal power? It's one of the most powerful heals in the game, keeps you alive, and also provides debuffs to the mob you're using it on. Use Darkest Night on your hardest target.

Oh derp, I totally forgot to give a shoutout to Demons/Thermal - thematic and highly effective.

My pleasure! I find it kind of ironic that trollers/doms don't also have the pet window available by default like masterminds. Trollers/doms may not be able to command their pets, but it's nice to see when they expire and such.

If you go to Menu -> Options -> Windows then scroll to pets, you can enable the pet window. But beyond that, it's like Lunar said, only MM's can actually command/direct their henchmen

To start with, what are your goals with the character? Pain & Kin both lean themselves more towards grouping (though they can be played solo, of course). Kin brings buffs that pretty much everyone loves and likes to play up close in melee range; min/max with Kin is to go Fire/Kin. Fire/Dark is also a very solid/strong pairing. You should be getting recharge slotted into Tar Patch and dropping that as often as you can. You should be able to strafe/kite through your tar patch. Take Howling Twilight and wield it offensively; I believe the stun on it is auto-hit. You also have Fearsome Stare for CC; blast that and then single target groups down if your AoE isn't spicy enough to down 'em safely. If you still want to go Pain or Kin (I mean, we've 1000 slots, try 'em all!), then Pain you can pretty much pair with anything. It's a heal set. If you don't want to do Fire, Kin also pairs well with Electric for a sapper style build. But Kin is another that goes with pretty much any blast set that plays well in melee.

Before folks go crazy with these, only very specific versions have had their copyright expire - the Winnie the Pooh from the books (If you make one with a red shirt, you are still in violation of Disney's copyright on their version), and the Steamboat Willie Mickey & Minnie. Using any other variation is still a violation.

Fully agreed with trying out any secondary that sounds fun to you; you never know what will click! That said, both suggestions from evetsleep are great, and I'll also tack on Demons/Storm, Demons/Traps, Demons/Sonic, Demons/Nature. Truly, they work with pretty much everything. Demons/Storm is my favorite so far--absolute end hog, but my god does she shred through things. I don't run heals on her either; if the demons die, I resummon them.

I look forward to the pics from your guys' run today. 🙂 For next week, provided nothing pressing crops up, Phoenixia has decided that she will deign to be cutesy for this. 😛 Phoenixia - Thugs/TrickArrow Mastermind

It's okay, I know you were trying to joke and I'm not sure why it came across as a bit off. My daughter is an only child and is naturally very shy, quiet, and very clingy to me. She's doing well with school, but I wanted her to have some sort of activity outside of school where we can be around other girls/kids, and since she's not into sports, we chose Girl Scouts. Yeah, the girls can be a bit wild sometimes, but I've also gotten to watch my daughter start coming out of her shell, making new friends, and they get to learn and do so many really cool things and it lets her and I bond as well. ^_^ I apologize for getting upset. Hope you all have a great run today! 😄
