    The only way it ever worked for me was to cast it and then Follow a teammate. Let them lead. That way, I couldn't outrun them, and nobody fell out of the sky.

    Yes that's how I remember Masterminds keeping their pets inside Group Fly back in the day.  Follow one, then order all to move.

     

    No one expects the Flying Zombie Apocalypse!  😄

  2. Back in the day, I had a dark/psi blaster that was all cones all the time.

     

    Recently though, I've been playing a sonic blaster.  Slotted Shockwave with the knockback to knockdown proc and recharge proc. On a team when the recharge proc hits (quite often), I pretty much Shockwave -> Howl -> repeat, and just juggle enemy groups till they die.  It's nuts.

     air superiority allows keeping a boss perpetually on their backs.

    Nice call, I'm a big fan of that power.  Also the way it knocks them down looks awesome, with a big head-over-heels flip.

     

     

  4. I've got the presence pool fear powers on a current character.  They're a bit short on duration, even if no one attacks them.  Decent for concept power, but not great for actually keeping things feared.  Also the animation/sound could be better, I was hoping for an awesome warcry scream.

    3. Voltaic Sentinel is much worse than the high damage single target attacks other sets get.  Just simple math on this one.  It does 1/4 to 1/3 the damage of the heavy single target attacks.  It also does this less often given practical levels of recharge, as its rate of fire never changes.  And you don't even get to decide who it shoots.

    Did you try comparing the rate of fire to when you use Hasten before Voltaic Sentinel?

    does targeting drone eventually gives the 80% build up again after x amount of seconds like the ninjitsu set?

    This was mentioned in the Sept 10th patch notes:

    • Fixed an issue where Devices > Targeting Drone was taking 30 seconds out of combat, instead of 8, to increase it's damage buff.

    Sounds like it's eight seconds now.  And the damage buff is way higher than Shinobi from the Ninja set ... sheesh that makes my /ninja character jealous.

    Would a Dark/Ninja blaster, slotted with -ToHit in every power that will take it, successfully create the play-illusion that the enemies are surrounded by smoke, making it very hard to hit the player and his allies?

    The ToHit debuff from blinding powder will be the largest contributor.  That's around 11% when slotted up.  The blasts will contribute a smaller amount as well, and yes those will stack.  A special mention goes out to the T9 Blackstar, which will absolutely wreck enemies tohit, however that won't be up every fight.

     

    In a vacuum using these debuffs, it'll be noticeable but not "very hard to hit the player and his allies" (other than Blackstar as mentioned above).  It'll depend if your SG team has defense buffs going around probably.

  8. If the intent is to pass by enemies without drawing lots of attacks (for blitzing to the end of radio missions or whatever), I've had good luck with this as long as I keep moving and hover has a bit of speed slotted.  Certain groups like Nemesis will still hurt though.  If the intent is to stop right next to enemies, then unfortunately you'll need more.

    THAT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE today!!!

     

    If Rise of the Phoenix isn't contributing to your attack chain, you're doing it wrong.  😛

  10. The most important thing:

     

    When only one enemy remains and you can defeat it at your leisure, Ring of Fire -> hide behind a wall -> turn camera a bit to use Ignite straight through the wall -> cackle like a madman.

    The rest of the screen is reserved for Giant Cat Monster Of Doom taking up all the space.

  12. On the Ninja side:

     

    Immobilizing Dart - You have to take it.  Standard immobilize.

     

    Sting of the Wasp - It's not a good attack, but it's another sword swing if that's the theme you're going for.  I'd skip it unless you really want the theme.

     

    Choking Powder - This is a good hold.  However archery doesn't have another hold to stack it with so you'll need to look into Ancillary pools if you want to quickly hold bosses.

     

    Shinobi - Take it as soon as available.  This is your damage boost and has a stealth effect.  You can stack it with superspeed for better invisibility.

     

    The Lotus Drops - Take it.  Decent AoE and it's a sword attack for your concept.

     

    Kuji-In Toh - Take it as soon as available, and put it on auto.  The endurance and regen are game changers.

     

    Smoke Flash - The placate doesn't always work.  The resist debuff is ok.  Try it out if you want, but don't be afraid to skip it if you want other powers.

     

    Blinding Powder - I'd take this one.  It doesn't break your Shinobi hide so you can splash it on enemies freely.  Also Contagious Confusion proc gets really crazy in this power.

     

    Golden Dragonfly - I'd take this one.  You may need to practice setting it up to hit multiple targets (the cone is very small), but it can be worth it once you get the technique down.  As a single-target attack it's merely okay.

     

    My /ninja got to 50 a while back.  I haven't got around to respeccing yet so I still have all the powers in the secondary.
