Martial is pretty great for blapping and it has a built in bamf TP attack! It also has a great pbaoe that can take a FF, a "get out of control free" button and the best melee attack in the game, Ki Push! I'll add my Fire/Martial build for ideas.Blaster (Fire Blast - Martial Combat) v1.3a Force alt Funky Child.mbd Or if you wanna live in melee, fire is hard to beat! High risk but, oh boy, those rewards!!

Assuming you don't mind not being full "hero" you can also Oro to Grandville and the sub is right next to where you zone in.

Elevator music!

If it were me, I'd park it (build in tact) and move on to the next toon. I don't expect KM will ever get revised but you never know. However if you don't have resources piled up and those enhancers will help you build your next toon, don't hesitate to strip a toon you don't like. You can always replace those enhancers later should the need arise. Also, I'm guessing this isn't your only lvl 50 but if it is it might be worthwhile to leave it set out at least until you make another 50. Just in case there is something fun going on for 50+ that you wanna join.

Hard pass, this is just a team griefing set.

going to try this tonight!

OP has my full support! Also, make Hami instanced! For fucks sake this is exactly why it needs to happen! Allowing 1 worthless fucking loser to waste everyone's time is unacceptable!

If the focus is only leveling as fast as possible, I don't think anything will surpass AE Powerleveling. 1-50 in 3-4 hours if it's just the farmer and the lowbie on the map. It's been a while since I've done that but I think it was 16 or 17 runs of the tunnel farm.

Love to see info like this! Thank you Icesphere!

The other question is, when? Leveling up, troller pairs can really shut down the enemy and play very safely but will often be a bit lacking in damage. They'll get through it just fine but it doesn't always feel great or efficient. A Kin with FS can negate that to some degree but that's a specific case. Once they get to the mid 40s or 50+ the bloom like crazy with procs, set bonuses and epic/patron attacks. A pair I haven't tried yet is a Troller and a Dom. That would give you tons of control, 1 toons with a dedicated buffs/debuffs set and 1 toon with a dedicated damage set. You think that would smooth out the rough spots in the leveling process?

I wanna play one of those all VEAT TFs so badly, I bet its amazing fun! Unfortunately, everytime I see one advertised I'm either in the middle of a TF or about to log off... I'll catch one eventually! When my buddy and I leveled out Veats, we paired them together (Widow and SoA, then we swapped) and it was very smooth leveling, VEATs really compliment one another!

Lol! I had to look this one up, what an awesome turn of phrase! Now I'm gonna be looking for ways to work this into conversations!

I made this a few years back but played her just last week and nothing seems to need any updating. It's an absolute beast of a tank mage! Might be my favorite troller! Controller fire dark v3 Toot Sweet.mxd

Thank you for the clarification!

For this one I've heard that if you inflict enough damage fast enough, the mob swaps to run away mode that overrides taunts. I am not certain this is true and have no proof so I hope I'm not spreading misinformation!

The english language is not capable of fully expressing how thoroughly I disagree with this statement.

Yeah, thats fair. I think I had a window from 30 to about 40 where that resistance would have been helpful since some of my resist numbers were coming from set bonuses in powers that I didn't have yet. But your point is taken, it has limited utility.

On a resistance based armor, sometimes I'll ignore def entirely since it can be stripped away so easily. However if the build allows, I like to shoot for 32.5% Melee def. Then you're within a small purple to softcap for rough spots.

Yeah, I think balancing the solo aspect of this would very difficult. If the answer to a fight mechanic is CC and im on a Stalker, I'm probably not going to have an effective way to counter that mechanic. Maybe adding it as an option would work, like a low level hard mode option. I'm not opposed but it would be a tricky thing to implement.

Yeah, I'm with ya! Really just dropping the crashes would be huge! I'm finishing up a claws/willpower scrapper and I only took Strength of Will at 47 for a 1 slot mule of the unbreakable guard HP unique. If it didn't have a crash, I would have taken it much earlier and actually used it instead of relying on inspirations to get me through rough spots. Better recharge would be fantastic too but I'd settle for just making them a little more useable in general. Look toward Icy Bastion for an example of near perfect t9 implementation.

I'm on board for a KB to KD toggle or Null option. I hate paying the converter tax! However how would it work if, for example, you were a Energy/Martial Blaster and you wanted to convert all your Energy attacks but leave the awesome Ki Push unconverted?

@UltraAltGreat explanations, thank you! @RaikaoFair point, I'll add a brief description to the macros, thanks!

Fire/Dark trollers are great! It's the most tank mage feeling toon I've made! Such a beast! Check out these defense numbers, and those are on top of the mountain of -to hit you'll be tossing around. Great combo! I went with fire epic to boost my resist and I really wanted Fireball.

Hey, this is literally how I play 95% of the time! Playing with a buddy and we only play those toons together so they stay equal level and level up on story arcs and TFs 1-50. We've repeated this at least 50 times so far (just started a new pair last night!) and we've found lots of combos that are great fun but the fastest to level and most brutally efficient pair of toons we've found are a Tank and a Blaster. Rad Tanks and Fire Blasters specifically have provided the best results but Bio and Invul are great tank alternatives and elec blast and rad blast are great blaster alternatives. In your OP you say you're thinking about a rad/stone tank and fire/kin corr, that will be a great combo and you'll have a blast with them. I'd still give the edge to a tank/blaster combo but only by a hair. A couple honorable mentions: Stalker/Stalker runs are stupid fun! I think the pair of Elec/Shields were the most fun for us but lots of combos work well. We made a pair of Arsenal trollers that were devastating! I was Arse/storm and he was Arse/Marine. We were punching way above our weight class. Tank pairs don't work very well.
