I think I will be able to join Citadel this week. Sign me up with Blistering Blueberry (Kin/Ice Controller).

Hey @TrixieKixx, I will be setting up Mr O'Hallows (Fire / Nature Controller) for Yin. But count me in as a maybe... could be we are out on family affairs this weekend. Edit: I am sorry, I gotta drop out again this week. Won't be at home in time for theme team today. Good Hunting, folks!

I am following your lead here. Not bothering with Hasten seemed logical, the attacks cycle through just as easy without, I guess. I was wondering what you get out of 4 slots of Hypersonic in Mystic Flight, besides speed... any other particular reason? I am tempted to throw those slots at Vines an Bonfire for Procs. I really enjoy laying down AoE attacks. Not concerned by the slow fly speed as such with MF... General question about Overwhelming Force vs. Sudden Acceleration KB-KD: Do they both work the same way? What is the advantage of OF over SA, and why is OF slotted in Explosive Arrow, but Bonfire slots SA? Regarding Spirit Ward, honestly it seems to not be a particularly useful power. At least I don't use it much or forget to use it anyway. Just went with it to get to RoP. I am considering switching it to Arcane Bolt, which also would be closer to Mama on a Blaster. Using the 3 slots from Mystic Flight could proc it to some decent damage output and with 2 Winters Bite to shore up Mez protection.

Hi folks, I tried my hand at this Blaster, went with plant and Sorcery because of Theme, but I kinda can't get a grip on it How would you improve on it?

I will likely be missing Aug 6 and Aug 13 due to being on our summer vacation in Croatia*. I will have my gaming laptop with me, but can't vouch for the Wifi at our location... *I almost typed "Croatoa" here 🙂

I am going with Blaxploitation, Sonic / Sonic Defender.

I... do not think so...

... aaaand now I made a little defender called "Mother of Invention" (Kin / Beam Rifle) for saturday.

...aaaand now I wanna make a little Defender called "Mother of Invention" 😎

Nice rain of badges on both TFs. Glad you were able to field a workable team! I have hopes of being there again next week, I really start to miss doing theme team 🙂

I am sorry, will have to miss Theme Team again. Also, not sure if I will be able to make it at all the next couple of weeks. There is just too much going on right now with work, family and life in general. Hopefully this will all be sorted out some time in August, when summer vacation comes, I hopefully will have signed my papers and have a little break before starting over in a new job. So for now, everything here will be a bit ad lib.

Sorry Folks, I gotta drop out again this time . Got a spontaneous invite by an old friend which I am going to meet now. Also, will be travelling to denmark tomorrow for a Job Interview which I am very excited about. So no SWS for me this week, but catch you up next week again. Good Hunting! And looking forward to the pics here!

Hey @TrixieKixx, registering Tecknomancer for that, my Demons / Devices Mastermind. He is bringing together the Yin of Magic with the Yang of Technology. And will show up in appropriate attire. Or, as a wise man once said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic:" (Arthur C. Clarke) ⚡ Edit: And I may wanna switch to Dr Doomsday for Posi 2, if that is ok. Teckno has already done that one, and Dooms has only Posi 1 in the books. He is Energy / Time Corruptor.

What the...?!? I hadn't even noticed! What was this little bugger up to there? 🙂

@TrixieKixx I plan to bring Flying Nightingale, my Emp/DP defender, in all her 50s Rock 'n Rolling glory .

Thanks for your input, guys. I have been putting your ideas into a new and (I think) improved build. I think these adjustments will make her more enjoyable to play and I am looking forward to put it to the test. This is what I am gonna roll with to start. I have put the expensive Hami and D-Sync IOs into the alternative slots for growth potential if i feel I am lacking perfomance there.

Check the menu and go to the I.D. Option. You can edit your Battle Cry and Bio there as you would in character creation.

Wow! Those looks were great! I struggled a bit to recognize each one, but I guess that's just growing up on a different continent with a different pop culture variety 🙂 Really sorry I missed again with my Captain. Looks like he's got some bad Theme Team Karma. I hope you got my updated message and didn't wait for my late arrival... Anyway, for Future 😉 reference, here is the guy: His time will come... Plan to recap the run on Rich's Twitchstream tonite. Unfortunately, I will have to skip next week as well, as it looks like I won't be home in time for it. There is another holiday this week so will be off on friday (thank god!) and come back saturday eveneing, but not before 7 most likely... (which will be 1h late for TT).

I may be running 15min late today, as we are still hanging out at a local beergarden right now,. Summer has finally arrived today and we absolutely have to take advantage of it! Don't know if you wanna wait for me, but I don't mind If you just go for it. Edit: nope. Not gonna make it today. Got another round of beers heading our way and I am afraid this right now has much more appeal than getting in front of my PC anytime soon 😎 Sorry Guy! Enjoy your hunt!

Hello Folks, my next build project is a Dark/Rad Controller that I recreated from live, but never built with anything other than SOs back then. So I have tried to put something together, which I would like to get some feedback on. I am not very savvy in doing this, so please help me learn 😉 I have all the ressources I need to push it to the max. What have I tried to accomplish here: Naturally, Perma Hasten to Perma AM Get either defenses or resistances to hold up to incarnate action. Defense seemed to come easier here, so I went with that. Not sure if I overdid things a bit, tho... Things I like to keep for thematic reasons: Choking Cloud and the pet from Mace I wonder if this will be endurance challenged. MIDS tells me I am at 3,49 rec vs. 2,55 usage Not much in the damage department. Basically I will be hitting with my procced out ST Hold, and the rest will just be controls and debuffs, I guess. Which I am fine with. This will not be used for soloing much. This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5 https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!

Every time I come here I find new amazement! Thanks a lot for sharing these. I have a question to ask: would it be too much to ask for Archetypes and main Powersets for each of the finalists that are posted here? Great appreciation!

I think there is a new regular thing called Mastermind Mondays at 20:00 CET. At least it has been going for a couple weeks now. And - as the name implies - caters to the need of those who only feel safe in groups of more than 60 entities 😉 The Twang All-Archer Teams are not a Thing anymore, I am afraid, since Crimson disappeared. But I am seriously considering to revive it myself, as I always had such a great time with all them arrows. Just right now too busy still with the plane crash I call my Job. But the time may come...

@TrixieKixx I may go a little bit more liberal on the cartoon theme with a character from a very early anime that was very popular here in germany when I was young. Like, really young 🙂 ! The show was called "Captain Future" and my character is made to his likeness: Captain Futurist, a DP / SR Sentinel. He's level 32 now, so I need to dust him up and play him to the remaining 3 levels for Numina. He had been scheduled to run with the Nerds theme, which I missed. So here is another chance. That being said, my participation isn't like 100% sure yet. I keep you posted. EDIT: For reference, this is what I am talking about: And as a bonus: The TV Soundtrack to this show has a near legendary status amongst german nerd culture: It is also a fine example of early 80ies Synth-Disco-Jazz! Try it! 🙂

So, after running it for a while now, I guess my take on this build is: a) Probably lacking a little on the damage side... b) ...but boy! He's quite untouchable and almost plays like a Tank! I just roll with it! I also like the versatility of Staff and Bio stances. Edit: And just as an afterthought: One of the best ideas was to proc the living hell out of DNA Siphon! That just adds nicely to the overall AoE goodness that comes with staff fighting.

Hey Tyger, you seem to be back with a vengeance! 🙂🏆 I have to say, I totally love the Robin Hood idea above all others! Trixie, we HAVE to do this! ... and the Fruity one, naturally! 😎🍌
