I did some low-level radio missions yesterday with my Ice/Dark Controller together with an Emp/Rad Defender. So far I really like the changes to Cold Snap because it lets you get into melee range without getting hit and Arctic Air can start to work its magic. I'm still not sure if I would take the power for an endgame build. If you solo a lot it's still a nice power. Especially when you combine it with Combat Teleport. Which procs would be worth slotting in Cold Snap?

If there isn't and you wanna create one: count me in!

In addition to being an EU player on Excelsior and having a new born at home I don't really have the time I had back in 2005. I'm happy enough if I can design some cool costumes, join a low lvl TF, DfB, SBB, DiB or a nice radio missions team. I would consider myself happy casual. No considerable amount of influence on my hands, no level 50(+), just a lot of toons in the level 10-45 range I enjoy playing; mostly Controllers. I might try the hard content when I'm on paternity leave for 3 months in 2023 but there is no rush.

Dinged 40 a few weeks ago. CoH was my first MMORPG. I played the beta with some friends. I keep coming back because no other MMORPG can give me the Controller experience.

I wish tree of life would just follow you around like the t9 and triage beacon could be hovering around you like a targeting drone.

I really like my Kin/Sonic ... the concept of "amp it up" kinda fits with the damage boost kin can provide.

I'll have a look at the build after work. My Elec/Time is currently lvl42. I really enjoy the combo for the sheer amount of control, but it is surely lacking in the dmg department. I'm not sure what to do with Gremlins because they tend to wander off more than other pets.

It's pretty smooth because Web Grenade helps with Containment right from the start.

Hey Voltak I really enjoy your "challenge mode" Videos on YouTube. Ice/Storm sounds and looks pretty safe. Is there another Combo you can recommend for tough content? I would assume that Earth/Storm would be equally good if not a bit faster.

Back on live I really enjoyed my MA/SR Scrapper. I remade her as a MA/Shield Scrapper and she is still fun. I also love anything Dark/Dark or Ice/Ice (Cold) ... Defender, Controller, Tanker, Blaster. I just love the sheer amount of control those combinations offer. I never had any real fun in other MMORGPs after playing CoH back in 2004 since they are always lacking in the (mass) control department.

That's funny. Your "the wall" post made me create that toon. I also play an Earth/Storm Controller that is kinda too much control and not enough support that's why I started this Ice/Elec Controller. I will give you an update once I've reached higher levels and tougher content.

I had the same issue with Hover. But while it was still active after the respec I couldn't maneuver. My toon was drifting through the air with a long delay between direction changes.

Sorry for the necro. Would this work? /bind Q "+$$targetcustomnext Voltaic Sentinel$$powexecname "Rejuvenating Circuit"" ?

I have similar experience with my Ice/Time Controller. With Arctic Air and Times Juncture running I can teleport into spawns and just sit there and laugh. I am currently testing Ice/Elec (for the awesome status protection) and Elec/Elec controller because Jolting Chain and Static Field are awesome. Can't decide which one I like more.

Ist eigentlich noch jemand von euch auf Reunion aktiv oder hat es mittlerweile alle auf die anderen Server verschlagen? Ich komme momentan nur sehr sporadisch abends online und bin mir unsicher, ob ich auf Reunion meine Helden spielen soll oder lieber auf Excelsior/Everlasting. Die Gruppensuche (besonders in den niedrigen Stufen) gestaltet sich auf Reunion doch sehr schwierig.

Damn! I just realized that I have 2 game accounts... So I had a look at the toons I made 2 years ago... Well, well... 30+ Controllers in their mid 20s and 30s waiting to be played. 😅 Sorry for derailing the thread.

Ill/TA is so much fun. Even without procs the early levels feel super smooth. Entangling Arrow helps you set up containment for Spectral Wounds and Blind. Mix in Arcane Bolt from the Sorcery pool and add Confuse to the mix. Flash Arrow's -To Hit keeps you safe and it's a really smooth ride until you get access to PA and all the other fun stuff.

Thanks for your reply. I'm level 15 so far. I have no access to mids at work. Since I have no level 50 characters (I guess due to inactivity all my toons got erased?) and just about 5 million influence I will level the character the old school way. 🙂 In groups I tend to cycle through Flash Arrow, Confuse and Roots and the baddies just melt away. I'll probably go for Hasten, Combat Jumping, Tough, Weave and Leadership. Not sure about the APP yet.

Do you have a link to this build? Sounds great!

Ill/TA is super fun. Only downside: you cannot recolor your TA abilities. TA really complements the lack of control in Illusion.

Mine is pretty similar. I took Jolting Chain over Electric Fence and opted for Maneuvers, Tactics, and Vengeance instead of Kick, Tough and Weave since I tend to team 100% of the time. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid and fun build.

Mind/Poison or Mind/Rad might also be pretty good.

I really like the build. I would trade Teleport Friend for Screech and borrow the needed slots from Amplify, which I think is pretty solid with the Chance for Build Up Proc alone. But that is just personal preference since I mainly play controllers.

What's wrong with sharing a build? Knowledge is power, knowledge shared is power multiplied. I see it that way. If you really enjoy the Lvl 1-50 part of the game, both Ill/Rad and Ill/Dark (well, pretty much anything Ill/*) will feel more fun, useful and self-sufficient even without perma PA compared to Ill/Cold. Ill/Cold is a build that only really starts to shine at the late stages of the game and will feel pretty meh with basic IO slotting on your way to 50(+) content.

Nova and Power Push should be 100% knockdown with the IO.
