[Request for a Fire/Ice build, or Keep the Hot Side Hot and the Cool Side Cool]

I created a Fire/Ice sentinel because I thought the concept was interesting, and it's a very fun character to pewpew around, but I'm not much sure about Ice armor or how the powers should be slotted. Does anyone have a mids build that they can post?

 

And no, I didn't name the character "Firefrost", if you're wondering

[Which zones wowed you the most?]

The best thing about Grandville is that you can afk on the head of LR's statue.

[Which zones wowed you the most?]

The thing about Perez Park is that flying kind of ruins it. You have to see it on foot to really appreciate it. Also, on live it's a really intimidating place when we went there at - what, level 6? 8? We knew that going beyond that gate was going to be dangerous.

Which time?

 

Whatever you want!

[Which zones wowed you the most?]

So basically, which zones in the game made the biggest impact when you first saw them? For me:

 

Crey's Folly:

 

Loading into the zone and seeing Crey's devastation was really amazing. I think I knew a bit about the backstory and seeing this flooded nightmare where normal people used to work was really impressive. The large masses of water also added to the atmosphere, showing the amount of flooding that had taken place.

 

King's Row:

 

After the glitz and glamour of Atlas Park and/or Galaxy City, it was startling to see the run-down neighbourhoods of King's Row, with its run-down brownstone buildings (using the term 'brownstone' loosely here). Despite all this, the giant coin with Blue Steel standing in front offers a spot of hope amidst the grime. I did a lot of street sweeps here in the early days.

 

St. Martial:

 

Well, the casino is cool. What more do you need?

 

Founders Falls:

 

It looks nice, but what grabbed me mostly was the theme, the one with those descending chords. I would sometimes visit the zone just to listen to it!

[Favorite in-game quotes]

There's a repeating joke that villains will say when you get in range, something like this:

 

Villain: "...and then he says, 'Aren't you a little old to be believing in leprechauns?' Then I threw him out the window! Hah! I love that one!"

 

I'm pretty sure I've seen variations where the line about leprechauns is swapped out for something else, but I haven't been able to document it as of yet.

[With pool stealth now so effective - do you take it and what "rules" do you have for stealthing solo missions?]

I will usually make a beeline for the objective and complete it. Then I'll decide just how much murdering I want to do. I often do defeat everything (because it's decent xp) but factors can vary.

[Can someone provide a Kin/Psy build?]

Yeah, but being able to shoot beams out of your head is cool. It reminds of Dark City.

[Can someone provide a Kin/Psy build?]

I looked through 20+ pages of this subforum and found only one other post with kin/psy, so I figured I would post something here. I had such a character on Virtue and thought I would recreate him but I don't remember a lot about the build and what kind of slotting would work best.

 

Below is an example of what I have now. I'm sure I don't need to 6-slot Increase Density with Aegis, or Transference with Power Transfer. And I only took Grant Invisibility because I didn't really know what else to pick. And so on. If someone could post a build of their own, it'd be appreciated!

Ok, here is an updated build - any feedback would be appreciated! I didn't place any purples like BZB because I'm pretty sure I can't afford them. For a character that only does mission arcs, however, I think the cheaper alternatives will suffice.

Ok thanks! I will give this some thought, especially the rule of 5, which I wasn't aware of. As far as taking Elude, it seemed like a decent 'uh oh' button in case of AVs or something, but yes I wasn't using it a lot. Granted, by the time most of my characters hit their 40s I feel they have too many powers already. Still, I found one of Bill Z Bubba's builds and will nab some ideas from there. Thanks again!

• You are not at Melee softcap - this should be your first defensive priority. You are also missing both +def uniques, which can get you there more easily. Additionally, find a way to fit the +res uniques as well.

 

I have no idea what this means. Can you clarify? Other than that, thanks for the input! I will look up some builds.

[Claws/SR looking for input]

Almost all my attacks and defences are six-slotted. I'm wondering whether to six-slot eviscerate, or one of the fitness powers instead. Or maybe one of the epics? Endurance isn't too much of a problem unless I try to take out an entire room in one go. Also this guy is mostly for soloing mission arcs, he rarely does group content. Here's what I have so far at level 46:

[My first fire farming (Rad/Fire) build]

That's great because, even though I had seen some Incarnate guides, I was overwhelmed by the options and didn't know where to start. This gives me something to work with. Thanks!

[My first fire farming (Rad/Fire) build]

So this is my first attempt at a farming brute. Someone who I've seen reliably farm sent me his build, and this is based off of it. So unfortunately and questions of "why did you pick x instead of y" will be met with "because the other guy's build was that way." Sorry. You have to start somewhere, I guess.

 

The survivability is good so far but I've been testing it very modestly - first with +0x1, then +1x1, then +2x2, etc. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do +4x8 with these bargain bin enhancements.

 

Endurance seems to be an issue, though. I find that blue bar starting to run out before Consume comes back up. I thought that Superior Conditioning would help with that, but apparently not (or at least, not enough). Maybe I should have put recharge reducers in Consume instead? Any tips would be appreciated.

[Unable to complete Ernesto Hess story arc]

Ok I just talked to Long Jack again and he offered Tobias as a contact. Guess I had to be 26! Thanks everyone.

[Unable to complete Ernesto Hess story arc]

My blaster is level 25 - actually he just turned 26, maybe I should give it another shot.

 

Previously when I talked to Hansen, he would tell me to talk to Detective Whatsisface (Hutchenson?) But I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do a bunch of radio missions until it decides to give me Tobias as a contact.

[Unable to complete Ernesto Hess story arc]

Or I should say, the story arcs that lead to getting him as a contact. On my 25 blaster I finished the arcs for: 

 

Stephenie Peebles > Long Jack

 

which is supposed to lead, as I understand it, to Tobias Hansen and then Lars Hansen and finally Hess. But after finishing Long Jack's arc...nothing. Do I have to maybe wait another level or two?
