[Choice between Temporal or Martial for DP]

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?

Dark Blast will have synergy with everything precisely due to the to hit debuffs.  This is actually a slightly bigger deal on Sentinels.  Since you said you don't want to spend a billion inf on the character then the debuff actually helps close defensive gaps that you'd normally handle with IOs. 

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. 

[Dark/Energy Help]

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

[Ranged Stalker aka "The Better Sentinel" - am I crazy?]

Omega, care to share a build? I have an Elec/Elec/Elec sent at 40. But you have me curious as to what a stalker could do. 

[Cold Mastery help..Ice/Ice blaster]

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?

[Kinetic Melee. Rate it please!]

Anyone care to share a build? 

[MA/Ice help]

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. 

[Water secondary help]

I'm stuck between WP and SR. What are pros/cons? And builds or slotting advice? 

[Slotting Chilling Embrace]

Anyone have an ice/ice Dom build they can share?

Having played an Ice/Ice Tanker ... if you're not slotting Frost for Range enhancement, so as to do the 15 ft high Hop 'n' Pop to turn Frost into a PBAoE-ish attack on everything clustered up around you, rather than simply using it for a pie slice to one side of you ... let's just say you're missing out on a lot of AoE debuffing and damage dealing potential that could keep you alive.

Can you explain more? What is hope n pop?

[Willpower help]

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

[Thoughts on ice armor]

Like title says. Any one played Ice? Would for a theme I have in mind. How does it perform? What are good/skip powers

[?/martial combat]

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. 

[Ice/Ice stalker build]

How good is ice armor? I'm between this and shield I think. Is it def or resist based? And do you notice any issues with fire/Psy? 

[New soldier help]

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? 

[Share your Puns/amusing Character Names]

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. 

[Grav/Time Chronicles]

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

[Water blast help]

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. 

[Water blast help]

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?

[Water blast help]

Need help. Want a water blast/?  Was thinking energy, heard time is also good for ranged. I will be picking up fly/hover and plan to be off ground as much as possible. I don't mind a couple good melee attacks for obvious situations but I prefer no pbaoes where I have to be in melee, as again, with water I plan to be ranged amap. 

 

I hope to achieve as much survivability I can. And put out the dmg to melt faces. 

 

I haven't gotten into IO/sets past basic IO slotting. So any recommendations are welcome. 

 

I also have no idea what epic to go with.

 

I prefer a plan for my build so I'm not just flying blind and having to respec. Any help/tips/advice is appreciated. 

 

TY

[Water/Dark builds?]

Rolled a water/dark. Thanks for good info Hjarki.

 

Any builds available or thoughts on epic or pool power picks?

Also any tips on playstyle(solo vs group) 

 

Thanks

[My fresh 50 sent: WB/DA. Thoughts on IOs needed and my thoughts on DA]

Care to share your build/playstyle

[First draft of a Set build for my Elec/Elec]

OP, we keep showing up on each other's posts. My E3 sent is lvl 37, slotted with basic IOs. And as this is my first real build so I have to learn about slotting and sets. Couple quick questions as I'm wondering how to fit all I might need/want into my build...

 

No hasten, Is recharge not an issue?

No fighting pool, is your survivability good enough without or no room for it? 

No leadership, same as fighting is there no room or didn't need it?

Without powersink how is your end? Do you have/or had any issues? How did you resolve if so?

Power surge is the make you look like an electric monster power right? Is it useful to you? What is it like? I don't have that yet.

And In general what are your thoughts so far with the elec build? 

 

And general questions to anyone...

If I put a stealth IO in Sprint or fly will that up defense or just make harder to detect? Can I be stealthed enough in missions with that? 

Also I like having fly/hover with my playstyle on this toon. Most missions I hover but sometimes it does not work well, as in tight caves or enclosed small Hall's like orenbega. Would it be a waste to also have CJ for when I don't want to hover? And how do you slot hover/CJ.

 

 

 

[Jump Pack/steam jump]

These do not always become available for use after cool down. They will stay shaded an unable to click on to use. Happened on multiple toons. Sometimes if I go to p2w vendor, revoke power and then re get it will work. Most times buggy

[Sentinel Secondaries]

Can someone explain resist vs defense. I have an Elec/elec sent at lvl 35 and I'm trying to figure out build, io sets, survivability. Thanks
