  1. Counterpoint: Being an optimist will definitely lead to disaster
  2. Sorry, no, Dad jokes are my Sustain power
  3. I blame the animes Attack and dethrone God!
  4. Psychic Blast/Energy Aura Sentinel Ranged Psychic-themed (and damage typed) attacks coupled with a very psychic compatible defense (dodge, deflect, can't hit me) armor. Sentinels are very survivable solo, possibly the easiest AT to learn as you go, and make for solid teammates with a nice debuff (Vulnerability, use it early, use it often) for hard targets PS: if Psychic-pink isn't your style, try recoloring your attacks to gold, I think it looks awesome
  5. Corruptor primaries out-damage Defender secondaries when on teams. While Defenders will provide stronger buffs/debuffs, some times you just want to see those bigger orange numbers
  6. For teaming: As a Dom, having PermaDom giving you high magnitude Seeds of Confusion is your biggest team-wide contribution - it increases kill speed and team safety. So you're going to want a high recharge build. Secondaries with good places to slot the Force Feedback +Recharge proc can help with that. Energy, Earth, and Electric are good places to start. As a controller your teammates benefit most from Buffs and Debuffs and almost any secondary will do that with the exception of Storm which is mostly a damage dealing set and isn't necessarily a strong team force-multiplier build. However some debuffs (-Dmg, -ToHit) reduce the effectiveness of Seeds of Confusion. This means Dark, Rad, Nature, Time, and Poison are, while great debuff sets and absolutely workable, are perhaps less ideal when paired with Plants. That leaves the top debuff sets for Plant as Trick Arrow and Traps. HOWEVER, because Seeds of Confusion and Creepers benefit from high recharge builds, your secondaries that mix Buffs with long recharge Debuffs are going to pair *very* well with Plants. Sets like Cold, Thermal, and Pain will make great use of slotting for extra global recharge.
  7. My main is a Plant/Storm controller and if you like controlled chaos and high (for a controller) damage you can't go wrong with that combo
  8. Dual Blades and Staff have 2 cones and 1 pbaoe, while Katana has 1 cone and 1 pbaoe so that might favor DB/Staff for a tanker over Katana at least The Dual Blades combo system is fairly simple but might play better on an armor set like Super Reflexes where you're not interrupting your combos to lay a burn patch or hit energy absorption or ground zero
  9. How long does it take to solo Big Red?

    Archery/?

    I went Archery/Ice. I don't remember why, off the top of my head, but I do remember looking for a good pairing with my first Archery blaster and something about Ice made me think "Oh this is gonna be cool"
  11. My completely unslotted, emptied bank account, level 50 Gravity/Trick Arrow controller stares balefully at me from the last character select page There's probably a Grav/TA build out there I do want to play, but *his* build was chasing recharge for Wormhole->Oil Slick Arrow and it never worked well enough for me to enjoy it
  12. I have a 50 Ninjas/Cold from 2019 that used the Fighting attacks to draw aggro and tank in Bodyguard mode. It helped that /Cold was specifically picked for keeping the oft-dead ninjas alive long enough to crit and absorb damage, but it can definitely work! Using the MM attacks to up crit% is a wonderful revamp and may make for the best way to generate DPS but Ninja MMs played without it for years so if you don't want to then just skip it - not every character wants bow attacks! However I did roll my latest MM as a Ninja/Trick Arrow, specifically to use the bow
  13. Even if I make a build I rarely intend to fill it out until my character is 47+ Until then I'm playing it by ear, taking the powers and slotting them with what feels fun and/or necessary. So I'd say somewhere 40+ is when I'm finally confident in what I like and want out of any given character.
  14. Lock yes, delete no. I think people should be able to search and read the old threads, but if they have questions comments there's no reason not to start a new thread. Old threads with no responses within the last year should become "read only", but otherwise preserved. It's not like forum posts are extravagant data storage. At worst it possibly increases forum search times over the years, though search filters help with that
  15. Ack you're right, it's "hidden" in Evasion. I completely forgot
