Woot! Just hit 30, added a LotG power and hey presto! Perma-dom yipee!!! Changes the whole gameplay approach, for sure. Now, it's touch and go if I don't refresh Hasten within a sec or two of it expiring, I then miss out on Dom which is flashing as I re-apply it right now. Watching Hasten like a hawk was a pain, so I'm just autoexecing the 2 powers manually alternating in turn, as I don't really like any of the binds people have suggested, eh. Will have another 7.5% set completed next level, which should give me a bit more breathing room. Wish there was the option to autoexec a second power... sniff ---- Ok, so there is a way, but it might be a little naughty, ahem. What I did was create these 2 binds: 9 "powexecslot 9$$powexecauto hasten" 0 "powexecslot 10$$powexecauto domination" I then emptied those 2 tray slots to prevent the push-button 'power not ready' constant sound. And then moved the powers to another pair of buttons, for visibility more than anything. Finally, I then used my Logitech mouse macro to simply press the 9 and 0 each every second and bound the toggle to a spare mouse button. This prevents my Domination running out currently, as I barely have enough recharge to sustain it. Only downside is if you have to alt-tab out of the game it may not work (and definitely won't if you toggle the macro off, which you might want to do in other apps anyway, as your keyboard pressing 9...0...9...0 continually is obviously quite annoying ;). So, is that completely against the EULA/gameplay terms...? I am clearly only at 'testing' stage. ---- No one...? :(

Thanks laudwic, guys, been most helpful. Will take your advice about running the lest time-demanding group content, and up to +2/x3 story content solo. I have about 320mill saved across my mains, as I've been playing the AH for a while now on & off, so I should be ok hopefully. I'm using Carnifax's cheap IO build & have everything twinked out with attuned sets + 40 IOs, which I'll upgrade to 50 at 47 & then boost to +5 as I get to 50. The Superior Will of the Controller will be the expensive, currently going for 15-20mill each = up to 120mill (yikes!).

Why not go with Ginger, Scary, Sporty, Baby & Posh...? (I'll see myself out...)

I hear Wolverine hasn't used his name in like 7 years, so that should be fair game too! (unless you count his upcoming return with DP via the multiverse I suppose...)

A bit early in the year, I know, but I was just rummaging in my CoH archive files/screenshots and came across these two from Sep 11 2004: Ahhh, those were the days...pretty sure there were hundreds of ppl down at Ms Liberty, just my PC of the day could only handle 1024x768 with a draw distance of 3 metres lol!

I named my zoms Rocky, Apollo and Drago; the knights Donnie and Darko; and the lich Vecna. :)

My best ones: - Kelvin Ator (my original ice/fire blaster from live - remember, fridges are heat exchangers! :) - Pen Umbra (Ill/Dark troller) - Elektra Luxx (my PB :) - and if you know where that's from, you must be a dirty old man like me! - Psycho Maiden (Shield/Psi tanker) - Max Arsenal (Arse/Arse dom :) - Raidioactive (Rad/Atomic blaster) - Miss Memory (psychic/mental blaster) - Elsa Frozenice (ice/ice stalker) - Romulv (broad/shield brute - means space wolf in Norwegian :) - Manshee (sonic/sonic corr) - Monkeyking (staff/ninj scrapper) - Babarella (they took Barbierella off me :( - I was going for Barbarella, obviously, couldn't give a flying about the doll or movie!) I have a lot of other 'clever' ones I like, but they are not really puns or amusing.

Back on live I only ever got my ice/fire blaster to 44 I think, before I gave up on the grind & eventually the game got shut down. I've now gotten my Ill/Dark troller to 40 (I have chronic alt-o-holism & very limited time!), and noticed the very slow XP bar progress, even with double XP. So, my question, what would be the best place(s) to do some group power-levelling for the last 10 levels? I'm a bit over DfB/DiB runs, so hoping there is some other area/zone/game mode I can join relatively easily. I also can't spend hours in TFs or whatnot, as I often only have a half hour/hour at most to play. Do I just add +1/2/3 to mob level and team size while I solo & see how I go? She currently steam-rolls all +0/0 content, no surprise there! Thanks guys.

More recently: - Ill/Dark troller - Dark/Ninja blaster - Plant/Thorns dom - Necro/Dark MM - hard to pick between my Fortunata, Peacebringer, Warshade, Beast/Nature MM, Shield/Psi tanker, or my up & coming Dark/Dark dom. :)

Quick, release all the names - deploy to production!!!

For a villain to be charitable...? You should be ashamed! ;-p

Why would they ask for something, when they are already entitled to it...? ;)

I dabbled a bit with Grav/Elec - hey, it's the only secondary that gets its snipe at level 20! ;) And you get a 2nd pet, so there's that...

I didn't know you could use the other end of a Mind dom to boost your Psi technique!

My main is Ill/Dark, I really don't understand anyone who wants to look any further if you mostly solo ;). Ill/Storm is the classic after all. I want to try Time at some point. And I think a Ill/Dark Dom rather than a troller could be awesomesauce! *duck* ---- Having said all that, I'd really appreciate some suggestions on the fastest, reasonably fun way to level her up 40-50. Just going 39-40 is feeling really slow, even with double XP, although she tramples all 0/0 content, so perhaps time for me to bite the bullet & try +1/2 difficulty...? What's the most fun fairly quick group content I can do at this level, ala DiB/DfB...?

I was looking for a fun, relatively strong solo stalker. I had a lvl 12 elec/energy, which I went back to for a few levels and didn't really grab me - long power inception times, mediocre single dmg, etc. Long ago I had a rad/rad stalker 'Roentgen' (pretty proud of that!), which I parked at 15, must play her a bit more. So I've also tried dark/dark dom (very nice), D/D defender (so so), D/D Sentinel (ok, needs more time) and more recently a D/D stalker, which I also need a bit more time with. BUT, I've now rolled a D/D Troller 'Styxia' (don't ask me why! I think I have an unhealthy affinity with the dark...), and am going to give her a fair shake :

Why can't you have 2 or more of the same AT/primary/secondary, with diff costumes/themes/builds...? ;) I feel very left out and under-represented by this thread, due to my rampant alt-o-holism, with almost 70 toons, highest at 39. :(

Were you running a 286 or 386 previously...?

No. One is obviously meant to keep the flavour in, the other one out. I will leave it up to you to decide which is which.

I'm reporting this post right now!

If that's true, then grind levelling trials like DiB & DfB should be nerfed to the buggery!

The only psychic characters I have enjoyed: Fortunata Shield/Psi tanker Psy/Time Corruptor my wife

Yes, some ppl need a team of randos to carry them. For me, hell is other ppl, so I prefer undead minions. ;-p

You mean like playing the game from 1-50 mostly solo, which is prob 90% of the time spent by most player in-game...? ;)

You obviously haven't played a fully twinked necro/dark MM... ;-p
