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
Bananiac replied to twozerofoxtrot's topic in Sentinel
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 🤯🙂
-
Choices, choices... I have actually quite a few toons that would fit here nicely... As we already have 2 Controllers, I think I will come with another Brute: 'Shrooms - Spines/Bio Armor
-
I am so glad you got enough people together to run this successfully! Still sorry to miss it, although we had great family fun at a local gaming convention! I absolutely love what you came up with in costumes here (kind of as usual, but I am so impressed how this theme turned out specifically)! I usually don't comment a lot on individual costumes, but this time I have to. @Burnt Umber Nice to see what you made with Sarah, I like your version even better! Power combo is great fun as well, I will go run mine a bit more, don't have enough Domis yet anyway 🙂 ZELDA needs no explanation, you immediately recognize her! SHODAN is spot on as well! And great look on that little dragon lady from one of the I may say more "obscure" game systems! I love to see that this worked for you, and AD&D is shining through here easily. That being said, let me add my contribution here, just because I think it would have fit in nicely: Lady Bayonetta, Dual Pistols/Ninjitsu Blaster - she is one hell of a 1-Woman-Army! That being said, we need a new powerset with Single Pistol + Blade powers!!! Hope to see ya next week again, looking forward to see what you do with that next theme already!
-
Yeah, feel free to use it to your liking. You are right about the pieces, should be pretty straightforward to do. Looks like I will miss Theme Team tomorrow, though. Hope you have fun, I hate missing Sewer Trial, it's one of my favorites.
-
I did a quick study on her: My reference: My result: I am actually quite impressed with how well this turned out. @Burnt Umber: Let me know if you wanna use this, I can send you the costume file for quick reference. If you don't like it, I think I am gonna keep her 🙂
-
Played Starcraft? Sarah Kerrigan would be a nice fit for your Plant/Psi Dom. That's what I would do. I can send you a proposal, if you like 🙂 But don't get hung up on powersets. This is a costume party, and it is not about Arcade, but about gaming in general. Feel free to pick from any. It doesn't have to be immediately recognizable...
-
Welcome back, Trixie! Hope you had a wonderful time in France and the UK! And I fully expect you to show up here in Germany, next time you guys make it across the pond! I'd like to register Lady Bayonetta (DP/Ninjitsu Blaster) for The Sewer Trial. Cannot promise to be there this saturday, though.
-
@FrauleinMental: I think I will go again with Wyldebeast Witch (Beasts/Dark Mastermind) for this. Here, Kitty Kitty! 😊
-
What du you mean here with TA? Is that somehow related to Penetrating Ray? And I assume for Overcharge you mean global Acc, ToHit and Recharge, right? I also heard that you want to avoid slotting of +Recharge into a procced-out power as much as possible, because that would somehow impact the %proc adversely... (although I don't quite get it how that works really...)
-
Thanks for the tip. When it comes to procs, I am really only going by gut feel, I have no useful understanding of the dos & donts here. So I appreciate these kinds of explanations. Will adjust it in the build and just go all-out heals on the power.
