Won't be able to join today. Out with friends for a Weißwurst Frühstück. And you can't eat Weißwurst without a Weißbier. And where there is one Weißbier, there usually are more, if I know anything about these particular friends of mine ... Good hunting and have a happy New Year!

Aaaaaaand... Merry Christmas, dear Themer Friends! Hope you all have some peace- and joyful holidays with friends, family and the people you hold dear! It hast been an honor to have served with you! 🫡

Nothimg wrong with that. I Just usually like to see what the pure Base values are that you can achieve. Accolades and other buff powers then just go on top for added superhumanness. I actually like Geode and kept it for that inevitable moment when you run dry 🙂 It geht's you back into business in no time. Don't think that Hasten is a necessary power on this build if you can get some decent recharge from your Lucks and set bonuses. Lots of action already with the powers that are available. I specced into Ice Mastery instead of dark, because of the AoE Immob and the massive Hold. Initially I also had Snow Storm in this build, but opted out again heavy heartedly because of the Endurance drain... It is a power that puts some SERIOUS SloMo on things!

I think I will be hanging out tomorrow as well. Put my Goblin into appropriate christmas attire and will hopefully get some XP and new badges on him...
-
I was toying around with this build and was quite happy with it. And then I discovered all the Accolades and Inherents that were toggled on! As I usually don't aim for all of them (besides the TFC) I just went back to the drawing board... 😄 A classic, just like when you have specced into Evasive Maneuvers.

Thank you @Midnyte for the extensive report on theme team action! Always fun to go through and recap what we were doing. With just 5 of us I was sceptical at first how we would do in that Reichsmann fight. But it turned out that we were just the right strength to handle it. Still felt like a challenge, but we did it like professionals! 🙂 Different kind of Strike Force, but it was fun running with you guys.
-
I agree on that, Explosive Arrow is the core power actually on that set. But Full Auto is just an unbeatable Nuke that melts away mobs like nothing else.

Hey @TrixieKixx, with all the talk on Sentinels below, I decided to also bring one for Barracuda: Amphibian Man (also Water/Regeneration). Not 100% sure if I will be able to make it in time tomorrow, tho... EDIT: Back in time for TT today. See you there...
-
Well, basically the only powers I slot with +Range are usually the cones, to get them nearer to the other range attacks and expand their strike zone without having to move that much. I aim for some global +Range for powersets / combos where I have at least 2 good cone attacks that I regularly use, like Full Auto and Flamethrower on Assault Rifle. Other than that, I don't really care how close I have to get with my Sentinels. They are usually next to the action anyway sooner or later. To a point, where I tab target to the nearest enemy and use my ranged AoE effects as if they were PBAoE...
-
This looks fun. I think I will make one of these next! Haven't started a new Sentinel in a while anyway...

Esoteric question: Ninja Tool EPP Weapon Customization
Bananiac replied to twozerofoxtrot's topic in Sentinel
Ah, right. The Mastery powersets don't show up in CC. Forgot about that. -
Esoteric question: Ninja Tool EPP Weapon Customization

You should be able to check the weapons customization already in the Character Creator... no need to wait to lvl35 to find it out. -
I have built a couple of Sentinels that have made it to lvl50 and that come up in my rotation every once in a while. Water Blast / Regen is very effective, but I love Water Blast basically on any toon. Dual Pistols / Super Reflex is fun, but pistols are fun basically on any toon. SR is a very good DEF set on Sentinels, I hear... Seismic/Stone is thematically a very good pair. Meteor is one of the most satisfying T9s when it finally hits the ground 🙂 I launch it on a mob and follow up directly with an AoE Immob (I think I used Ice Mastery for that), so they stay all nicely put at ground zero until the ball strikes. @Jaxman100: You wouldn't happen to have a build for this combo? I have a few Archery Sentinels at various stages of their life cycle. Archery is another set that I just like, no matter which AT. All that being said, my best experience on Sentinels is definitely with an Elec/Elec/Elec Build. Beats anything else you can do with Electricity on any other toon, imo! When I fire my AoE drain attack chain, it feels like every mob is exhausted within 10-12 secs. Prepare to be in the middle of things, though. Otherwise this doesn't make any sense 🙂

Speaking of future themes... I have a few new ones to fill the pipeline: “Viva Las Vegas” – Costume only. Don’t think this needs any explanation. Btw: That new Sphere Thing there… mind blowing! “The Circus comes to town!” – Clowns. Acrobats. Beasts. Beast Tamers. Strongmen. Magicians. Circus Directors. Musicians. Freaks. Maybe make it more specific with a “golden age of circus” type of look, a la turn-of-the century Greatest Showman, if you know what I mean? “(Rare) Earth Force” – Any Stone/Earth powerset. To give it a new twist, chose a costume to represent one of the Rare Earth Elements. “Welcome to Valhalla” – Chose one from the Nordic Pantheon & Mythology, with appropriate powersets (Mace/Elec/Strom anybody? 😉) “Heart and Soul of Africa” – A long-dead pharao from ancient Egypt? A proud tribal warrior? A mystic medicine man or woman? A high-tech Wakandan Guardian? “I'd like to be/Under the sea/In an octopus' garden/In the shade” – Underwater theme. Water blast powers come to mind, but we just had that. So no specific preferences here for powersets, I guess… “Carnival in Venice” – I think this one, too, doesn’t need any explanation. “The Knights Templar” – All-Tanker Team (could allow for Brutes as well if that helps). Let’s see how big a crowd we can herd together! Order of Knight Templar costumes. We may all end up looking very similar, but I don’t think that is a bad thing in this case 😊 And here is an idea for the next time we run a Citadel or any other TF/SF heavy on Council or 5th Column: Let’s do a “1st Avenger” kind of team, WW2 Heroes fighting the Nazis! @TrixieKixx feel free to pick from the list. And if you have any further ideas on how to expand on it or modify it, be my guest 🙂

It was? No wonder I thought it was brilliant! 😇

Hi @TrixieKixx, for Numina count me in with Gun Fu Nun (Dual Pistols / Martial Combat Blaster). I will probably rename her to Element V for the day. 🙂 Looking at the schedule, I absolutely LOVE the idea of the All-Illusion-Team, paired with the Magician outfits. Just want to remark that with this week being the Posi TFs, we will all be locked out of our Phantom Armies, which only becomes available at lvl18 for both Controllers and Dominators. And that would be a crying shame in my opinion! Maybe reschedule this to a week where we can run lvl20+ TFs/SFs? 2 weeks later for example we could run either Synapse or Silver Mantis at that level range...

Makes me think, who is my favorite Movie Hero actuallly? There are quite a few that come to mind...
-
Ok, so this is pretty much the mission statement of my Signature Character. Count me in with Bananiac then - Plant / Rad Controller 🍌☢️ Just came home from a busy, busy week that took me to Oslo on monday and Seville on thursday. With an ISO9001 Audit in the office in between. Boy, am I glad to be back home now!
-
Happy Thanksgiving, my dear US friends! Enjoy your Turkey! 😉 😇
-
Not yet, but I am never not doing one if I get the excuse 😉 I stole the reference form here, if any of you know it....
-
So Whiskey talk: I am not able to drink any of this stuff anymore since falling into a kettle of too cheap bourbon at a young age.
-
I am gonna miss Theme Team today. Have to head out in about 30min in some family matters. Good hunting to you all!
-
I presume that maybe bourbon was involved in this...? 😉
-
Hey Midnyte, fantastic write up again! Thank you so much. You just missed my elaborate and well thought out bio which took me the weekend to prepare for 'Shrooms, so I don't want to withhold that here 😇
-
@TrixieKixx Sign me up with Major Hydra - Mind/Dark Dominator. 1st time in a while that I created a brand new toon for Theme Team. Wasn't expecting such a lot of Mind Domination showing up this week 🤯🙂
