Lusiphur Malache

I am the King of bad choices when it comes to leveling a character. If there's a mistake to make, I've made or am about too. Respec recipes cost a million or so in the auction house, so make mistakes. I decided that my lvl 37 corrupter needed Medicine, bought a respec and tried it out for a couple lvls and when it wasn't working out by 40 used an earned respec to lose it. 60 million is more influence than all my characters have so any mistake you make is easily fixable. Decide what you want to be good at, single target or crowd control, long drawn out fight or over in a blink, or solo or group play. Attack it with a plan and vengeance, if it works out, great, if not maybe ditch the plan and try again. I can't offer technical expertise as after reaching 50 I unlocked and slotted Judgement, Interface, and Alpha in that order on my main. I used to 5 or 6 slot the powers I used the most and take my chances on the rest. Now I slot 1 every 10 levels if it is important and use any leftovers on what isn't important.

all good suggestions, but I want to turn the Wharf into a battle royale put a bunch of venders in to sell anything under the sun and have no sides. Nerf everyone to the same level and last toon standing at the horn gets something and even make the horn blow randomly.

I'm a blaster, no matter what AT I'm playing it's with my blaster mentality. Lately I've been trying out stalkers and brutes. It is a pain for me as a melee toon to run across a cave,room,or sewer to hit something, only to have a bolt from the blue either kill my target or push it farther away. Remember, I'm always a blaster and most of you are also, how upset would you get if over and over you didn't get to shoot your shot. Let the melee players hit something regularly, they'll feel good and you'll feel good too.

You missed the golden age for tanks, before ED you could taunt an entire instance to one spot and let the team handle it. Every body served the tank back then

Sometimes blind invites work and sometimes they don't. Nothing beats a failure, but to try. Remember team leaders are made not born. Difficult missions don't always need 8 players, get a couple ATs that cover things you don't do or don't do well. Eventually you'll be able to hold your own on Founder's Fall, Rikiti War Zone, Peregrine Island mission teams and then you'll always have a team available to you, if not wait a couple minutes.

Way back in the day I recall another name for blappers. It would have been around december 04 when most tanks were as h les and anyway to avoid having a tank on the team was a good thing. Blapper just doesn't sound right to me, I remember Offenders, Tanktrollers, and Scrankers

Most of the time the player will volunteer the information themselves. If not it might take a few fights to figure it out. It isn't a dealbreaker for me as I just adjust my playstyle, but I know team leads boot people because they count on an AT to do one job and if you can't do it, see ya bye.

A week doesn't go by that I don't run into either a tank without taunt, a blaster without snipe, or a ws/pb without a second form.

I read interviews of the early cryptic testing where there weren't powersets and testers gimped themselves picking and slotting. That is something I would like to see. I think not taking a travel power could severely handicap a toon

I'm coming from where you are. I started an elec/kin last week. I'm up to 15 now on 70\30 group\solo, you definitely want some buddies who hit hard unless you like 2 minute fights with a white minion. Your controls last longer than you think, but you have to stack them to take down anything no matter how you slot. Learn how your powers work. I struggled with my heal being taoe and siphons being pbaoe.

I use all of the fighting pool on my sj/sr stalker as a fill in attack when my chain gets broken and my builders are on cooldown. They also come in handy when in a group and I need to turn hide off because of a rescue or I need to keep up with a blaster or sentinel who wants all the targets.

Got done with a pug today and had picked up a couple of levels and had to upgrade a lot of DO to SO. No sooner do I finish wasting 300k than I notice my salvage is full. Long story short, I moved some influence and started buying recipes and crafting. Now I'm fully IO'd at 15. Plan to reach 20 this weekend and see what I look like cause the current costume sucks

Bluefox we know each other, I'm Mecha Gideon. I'd like it better if I faced a bit of adversity, but if it hasn't happened good. I usually have the feeling that I don't know what I'm doing when picking powers and slot, but thank god for respecs. Thanks for the advice and praise.

I've always left controllers alone, seeing them as a step above masterminds which I hate with a passion of a couple teenagers living together. SG leader challenged me to get a controller to level 20. I'm at 12 and I am enjoying the archetype so far. It has been a bit easier than other toons. Am I going to face much hardship before 20 or onto level cap? I mostly only do pugs with people I know and giant monsters of opportunity. BTW I'm playing an electric/kinetic if that matters.

melee toons always use 1 or 4, ranged use 3. Had a horrible experience using 2 recently will never use it ever again.

I would like to see fewer shards, 1 would be ideal, but 2 or 3 is enough. Make cities bigger and more spread out. That way villains could run a variety of missions on bluesier or heroes could do the same on red. Let both sides take prisoners that friends or a supergroup would have to pay to get back.

Currently I have 3 characters on Indomitable all of them without a SG home. I would like to find 1 place for them all, but will split them up if I have to. If you have a SG and are looking for members that will group within the SG and try and bring more members in I'm your guy. Send me an invite and I will probably join immediately. @darkesyde
