Thought about rolling a brute, but I'm intrigued with another fire AOE and the better def numbers tanks get. Still not sure. Can anyone offer advice or a build to help me out. Why tank over brute? Does the better def make up for the lower dmg? My goal is to be survivable and put out as much damage as possible.
Playing only Squishies so far, I really want a melee monster. Can you sell me on tanks?
So I rolled a new alt. Playing as a blaster who has the different FF powers as backup/situational use. I have read the defender forum force field Bible post. And Am wonderinh am I gimping myself playing Corr? I figured what I lose in def buffs won't be that significant as the higher lvl I get the less teammates will need bubbled. But all the other powers would help me solo and teams on a situational basis. Plus I'd do more damage and have scourge which I find awesome. Just looking for feedback. Thanks.
Alt-itis is always a hard drug to resist. And since the game has been back I've wanted to roll an illusion controller. But...I don't know where to begin. I always have a theme for a toon whether it comes from the powers or the costume. But with Illusion I'm stumped. And I'm stumped as to what secondary to pair with. A few look good and I can't decide.
So I'm looking for some guidance on general thoughts and tips on the different secondaries that pair well. And what pros/cons may come from each. What is your personal choice on secondary? How does each secondary play different? Thanks in advance for helping to feed my alt addiction.
I've never played Kinetics before. Think thematically this will be a cool techy toon. Looking for advice for Kin as what powers to take, how to slot, and general playstyle tips solo vs group. Any build ideas would be welcome as well if anyone has one to help give me ideas and get started.
Frostweaver, I just rolled a DP/time, question about stealth. You took stealth, invis, and have celerity in Sprint. How do you run those together, or in what combo?
So I have an early 20s dark/energy blaster. What would be the pros/cons for a dark sent over my blaster. And why is the to hit debuff a big deal for sent? As compared to blaster? I was thinking of re rolling but am not sure. Possibly dark/ninjutsu/dark.
Looking for any help, suggestions, build ideas, etc. From my initial thoughts it's going to be a tight build on power picks. Not sure I can fit all 9 from dark, though they all are calling out to me. And unsure about epic pool, I'm torn between flame for bonfire and mace for scorp shield.
TIA
Looking for input as I'm not sure what I want to take. Depending on what powers from secondary I take I would have room for up to all 5 powers. Not sure if that is necessary, as I already have taken tough/weave. And I'm not sure how well these perform.
Any pros able to edumacate me on these powers?
Does anyone have any builds they can share? Or suggestions on skipable powers? And any basic IO lvling slotting tips.
Looking for Max survivability, to be able to team/solo well.
Running a fire/wp. Any tips on how to get most survivability from wp? What powers and how many slots on each?
Heard WP is pretty slot light. I need help please
Have a theme in mind. Going elemental. Would you suggest fire, ice, water, elec as primary to round out martial? What are pros/cons? Synergies? Builds?
I know with martial I'll be in melee blapping it up so...
Was thinking of getting CJ/SJ/SS, and stealth if I can fit all those in.
Never played villian/soldier. I know I want to go bane. Anyone have a good beginner build with just basic slotting help.
And any tips for playing soldier up to 24? And bane after?
Best I have is Jon Shadow, a water/energy blaster themed all black.
He is a shadow bound here and given powers by some magic force. He is all black with white battle fury aura. Obviously he has amnesia.
Also saw a toon by someone called refrigi-gator. A lizard man with ice powers.
So I read the tread from redlynn. Couple questions for someone new to controller.
Can you explain solo vs group playstyle. With grav you have AOE immobilize, AOE hold, AOE intangible. Time you get AOE soft hold.
How do you play this toon. Lock everything down first? do you use all 3 each group or mix match as needed?
And once groups are locked down, you have lift and propel. What other attacks do you have to do dammage? Is this build good and viable solo? Or mainly for group support?
Thanks
Couple questions Zenijos10..
You use stealth and super speed, since I use fly/hover would it still work the same?
You went villian mace mastery, is scorpion shield that good? And do you feel you have enough attacks with water?
Can you briefly explain your thought process and slotting choices to someone who has not familiar with io sets?
And you are def softcap? Is that better than resist? Do you find yourself having good solo survivability?
Thanks for the already good info. Helps alot.
So with energy, would it be worth it to take build up or just slot the gaussians IO in tidal forces?
And what is best for stealth? Actual stealth, Celerity in Sprint/fly/hover?
