Cpt. Caveat

Ooh I was in general chat looking at this same build for a gather mobs build. Gotta wait till back at home to view it but thanks ahead of time *edit Gathering Grav/time thread long thread but lots of good ideas as well as macros

Ohh lala how risquée. I want her name to be scandalisa

Actually I might be ok with this idea as it would give me another power I won’t lose sleep over not picking up. I also assume that to get defensive caps I still need to dip into get tough and weave though I would rather dip into leadership but that might not provide enough defense and also still need fighting pool *and again thanks to the community for all your help and insights

I saw they added a mushroom aura and while I’m sure this goes well with earth based stuff I can’t seem to find any other fungus based pieces. What I would give for a fungus based head piece. Or any other fungal growth pieces. Almost a “the last of us” kind of look, something that has been taken over by the fungus. Unless I missed something when I was going through the costume pieces one by one.

Meh I can work around that with hopes I can get one big teleport/wormhole per pull. Though I saw that dimension shit can phase teammates and wondered if this is a viable “save zone” from ranged and aoe fire to “heal up” etc. using it as an Oh crap power. * edit* I haven’t looked at animations for time yet but original idea was to have them look “trippy” maybe multi colored. I saw the mushroom aura and wanted to go a bit of the mushroom mind control. Interdimensional being comes to earth only to find the fungus here overtakes and controls his brain for its own purposes. Then as cheesy a name as possible, something like “Sporeatic Gravitease”

Ok in a nutshell that is everything I wanted to accomplish in a build right down to the macros I had already been looking up. I used TP in live for a few toons. That sounds like all the control I had my heart set on. In the event you had an example of your build so I can get an idea of slotting and skipped powers as I have not done a full build out since live. I mean there was a point I was 6 slotting hasten and stamina on every build.

Ohh I like that option. Just as a placement to start it out. I know it can’t be healed but didn’t know you could TP friend it. I like it, I think this just might be viable and fun. I don’t expect a dps machine but I love the meta idea of setting up mobs for teammate aoes and cones. Also the few times I tanked was only so good at consolidating baddies when pugs are aoe aggro machines flying through the corridors. I feel like this would be a way to consolidate during the fray as well as pre pull setups

Wow perma chono shift now that sounds like fun. This was and end game build I’m going for as I realize that powers need are deep in the secondary tree. Thank you for a breakdown on time, and quite honestly I think I’m sold. Grav/time and try to fit in fold space or whatever it is in teleport pool and I think I can achieve a reasonable recharge rate with other tools

So if the new buffs to bomb can make offset enough to what looks like tons of fun with so man things to drop baddies on with traps. It may be a bit slow on the setup side, maybe a little end heavy, but tons of utility. I’m a bit new to navigating some of the info out there. But right now I can only think of lvling up enough or DL beta to see hard numbers on the unenhanced recharge of wormhole and telekinesis. and I got Jack taco if I can even calculate percentage of recharge for things like AM, siphon speed, whatever may be in time, or coming in traps. I may also be a complete moron who shouldn’t be doing this on his phone and get a hero builder to possibly solve all this. (Forgive me it’s nostalgic to talk to like minded CoH folk)

This really makes me think I would rather lean toward a controller with two pull powers like from Teleport pool and either gravity for wormhole or mind for telekinesis. I’ve seen wormhole used back in live but haven’t seen how telekinesis is going to work with a new -repel. If I can narrow it down to Grav or Mind my next task is to get a secondary that satisfies my desire for recharge and at least some solution to what I assume will be and end heavy main. Rad and Kin were about it back when I last played (AM being more consistent and kin achieving higher recharge in combat plus its other buffs). So I know little of time in practice which appears to have some recharge but really I’m looking for the most bang for my buck and I don’t know if time could touch kin or rad *edit Holy crap that was needless long winded, thank you for helping spitball on my meta ideas.

Shesh I had no idea there were near this man “gather” powers out there. That’s an interesting addition. I’ve never played a war shade. I know they have some ranged and melee builds but if we are looking at melee I’m guessing axe would do a better job though there may be a damage trade off. that said I realize a controller’s damage output would be lower than both but would come with additional CC effects once mobs were gathered

Ok so if gravity has wormhole and singularity (though I’m not sure how much control you would have over the location of where it pulls to) mind has just telekinesis both that and wormhole have a “slow” recharge (don’t have the actual numbers) Both could add from Teleport pool. couples with a secondary to help with recharge and hopefully end Even with all this I don’t know how realistically I could alternate the two to get to an every pull scenario.

I’m interested in these abilities that allow you to gather baddies. I know battle axe has one. Also Mind controls telekinesis is also has/getting this ability. Are there any other powers that have this ability? Clearly axe melee (except scrappers) will have a higher recharge time thus able to do so more often. That said I’m intrigued by the telekinesis and would have to focus on as much recharge and end recovery as possible. So next question is how could I recharge telekinesis the fastest? Kin,rad,time or some other controller secondary I missed

My first attempts at a tau commander. Beam/devices

Love the costume. Now if I could only make a good looking Necron Lord

Wanted to recreate one of my Skyrim toons whose name I stole from a venture brothers episode…but the concept just tickled me too much. So my new stalker is Werewolf + crocodile = The Wereodile…or in my mind what you get when you have an argonian werewolf

Ya I saw a thread about people working on a similar solution. I didn’t really think it would be in that high in demand but I guess we are slaves to our phones these days

I have way to much downtime during the day with only phone access. A nickel to first one to writes a mids hero designer app for my iPhone. (I mean not really, though I would love it…besides I need my nickels to throw at traffic)

Thank you all again for the advice. I’m going Rad and take a look at primary’s though leaning toward fire.

Ok sounds like Bio = can potentially give more damage at the cost of more clicky clicky and higher situation attention. I’ve read that bio doesn’t really have skipable powers as well as lack of debuff resistance that has to be addressed elsewhere. So I guess the real question is how much is that damage from bio going to help? If I decided to try to go dance with an AV solo am I going to have issues damaging over a regen rate that bio could potentially get me over? Or is that even worth banging my head against as a tank? I realize a primary would be a big factor in that scenario as well. But I doubt I’ll have that damage buff from offensive 100% of the time. Unless that damage really speeds up the tempo of my solo time killing stuff, then it sounds like rad to me. Also great to know that about not putting away weapons now, It drove me nuts before. *edit I did run axe melee before and unless something new blows me out of the water, I’ll most likely go down that path

Do you by chance have a build for your electric/nin. I ran a em/ea back at release of CoV but I think I’m leaning eclectic/nin for something new but I’ve always worked around a t9 with a crash

My main was a Eng/eng stalker I use to PvP with and loved the energy set even though it was single target. I took energy because the idea of “scrapping it out” on a stalker wasn’t really much of an option and hit and run tactics worked wonders. However I wanted to take Elec so I could join in the Frey when people went out clearing portal missions but when they have half a map aggroed even if I could one shot a enemy with every attack, I would have 4 or 5 dead in the time it took a blaster or scalper to aoe burst the whole pull down. I know EM is just going to be better damage and now it even has a little aoe in a cone. Plus I’ve seen end game builds taking out +4 AV’s and that’s just hot stuff and tickles me in ways I want more of. However I see a good bit of talk about Elec and I’m wondering is Elec strong enough to take down nasty AV’s solo? Or is Elec just the go to aoe damage so you can look better in a group or on big pulls. I want to fall in love with elec but I have this “a stalker is a single target assassin not an aoe trash clearing class”, and I don’t know if that’s truly different now.

Almost positive our SV was here “Misfits”. We did pvp and base raids when bases first came out. i think I was @MostlyHarmless but can’t remember Mains: Lobster eng/eng stalker Flaming lips fire/rad corrupter. I don’t remember if I moved my heroes to freedom.

It’s been a long time had toons all over the servers to the point I don’t remember what server I landed on. Villain side I did PVP and base raiding with Super Villain group called “The Misfits” and we raided with some with folks from “Corruption” Villain Mains were: Lobster eng/eng stalker Flaming Lips fire/rad corrupter The hero side I did mostly at launch of the game and very little SG play. Mains were: Raging Hobo ill/rad controller Mostly Harmless dark/sr scrapper Arctic Watchman ice/axe tank If anyone remembers when base raids first started up and a SV group named misfits and can tell me what server we were on….lemme know
