  1. underpowered gpu, internal to cpu. looking at asus site x515 has been series model for many generations. looks like you have one of x515ea (11th gen i5) you may have a gpu NVIDIA® GeForce® MX330 (2GB), if is i5/i7, this would be in addition to your on cpu graphics. depends in model of laptop. time based slowdown, thermal may cause issues, is system heating up? get good laptop cooling pad. kill any and all background processes, browsers, music apps, anything bon necessary at all times when gaming in system like this. good luck.
  2. a good resource is here: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/powerset.html?pset=controller_control.symphony_control&at=controller symphony is a damagey set. youll find a few build threads in the dominator forums (one on symphony/fire id agree with, but prefer symphony/dark) on controller, lets get secondary put of the way. symphony is cone heavy, meaning youll want to be 30-40feet ft your targets most of the time. cold dom would work well. as would storm summoning. electric affinity / dark affinity are always good choices. symphony has a good disorient cone, which tocks for a great deal of damage. it has a cone fear that damages, a sleep cone that (importantly) also does damage down debuff. its single target confuse deals damage, and can be swapped in as an attack power in a single target chain. its aoe hold is mothing special, and can be skipped. it, like the others has an obscene base cooldown. standout also in symphony os its pet. it echoes symphony skills you do, on a delay of a few seconds. it will elect its own targets for this. so it ends up overlapping your fear, sleep, hold, disorient and confuse effects. it, like other pets, can get stuck on walls or not keep up at times, but its tolerable. personally, i like symphony on dominator - as the damage there is quite high when matched with very solid control.
  3. it does eclipse mind, and imma mind fanboy. symphony/dark dom with combat tp (for dark pbaoe in and out) is a joy. symphony/fire, or symphony/thorny too. the echo pet is undervalued, it contributes a lot of magnitude, which on dom, is like putting mag 9s with a slight delay on the +3.
  4. my main tank is shield/stone/earth. it does well. shield hero Figs
  5. benefits of mind: no projectiles, hit on cast execute. mesmerize - its awesome st at lvl 1, has boosted range. mass hypnosis - while cast time 2s, it takes effect in 0.9s, making it feel, and practically be, very quick. 45s base recharge. its problem is thats all mind really has on tap besides terrify. and it breaks when a mob is hit. telekenisis - good (toggle) but nerfed into the ground to only affect 5 monsters. contract this with teen abilities like static field, earthquake, ice slick, cold snap, fearsome stare (at lvl 8!)... it should hit more than 5. benefit most for dom mag stacking. terrify - good cone. but not as good as illusions repeating spooky immune pet and its built in tohit debuff, nor symphonys cone (because of reverberant echo), but is better than darks fear cone. total domination - too long CD. its one of the 4 min ones. less hasslesome when higher recharge in build, but people spamming nukes on other at that do as much as 65% to hit debuff, floor defense, or just kill them... theyre doing this at half the base recharge of the aoe holds. mass confuse - decent, but inferior to seeds of confusion, arguably the elec chain confuse. why? too long base CD. to not be horrifically underpowered on control classes, id suggest: if you wanna cc lots: earth dark ice (since the buffs) symphony elec plant if you wanna fold space and /kin: gravity/kin fire/kin if you want a spot on hard content and a bit of tohit debuff AND a immune tanker: illu/dark if you wana mind-like, with less trash and better overall oomph: fortunata.
  6. @Rinwen, kupo, you have to try elec control if you like sleep. it is unsurpassed (its called static field) as a sleep skill - because it pulses. this means when you or others hit the monster, it can go back to sleep, and will. it also recharges quicker than its expiration with even moderate global recharge. oh, and it also does end drain. MIND - its best is telekinesis, on a dominator. because a floor of mag6 hold you can toggle onto a hard target. however, tbh, mind is eclipsed by symphony on dom for me. on controller - it is hard to beat dark/dark - they cant hit. its sorta boring tho. elec/elec is a splendid support on controller. if I had to take mind, on controller... mind / time, mind / kin... something to get that awful recharge on mass confuse down.... oh, elec has a chain confuse on a shorter-than-4m cooldown also.
  7. in ff11, you could level down, and dying cost about 8-12h grouped xp farming. 1x death. its been lowered from what it was on HC. i like it, in that its barely noticeable, especially with double xp buffs and patrol xp across a set of alts. youd have to be dying a lot for it to seriously impact you?

  8. we had a dozen or so visitors when i was in briefly, and nice comments given. someone even went shopping at the on-island ICON! Figs, me, gave a small kata tutorial on the hill, and relaxed a bit until the night came to the island. its quite pretty at night too! so be sure to visit ISLAND-8714
  9. I regularly get asked by other players: Figs, how do you maintain that hot tight bod? Its no secret, heroes and villians, it's all about ISLAND-8714. It's compact, has all-the-things, and was voted BEST BASE 5 years running on these very forums, even by the mean people, which is totally true! there's a bar, buffs right by the portal, crafting, merits, and much to see and do. a hill with an entombed tyrant hero we captured after he was blazing all hell up brickstown, and even a boutique imports fashion center by ICON! that very boutique has been known to be where I, Figs, design and produce my amazing costumes! And its compact, sized JUST FOR YOU! there's a full surround of deep sea waters, with only a minimum of sharks, and that motivates the swimmer towards success! so, I humbly submit to you the BEST BASE to make YOUR TP ZONE OF CHOICE -->> ISLAND-8714 but Figs, I know you're famous, but how do I get to ISLAND-8714? go to any base portal on a map, or activate your long-range-teleport and enter this SECRET CODE: ISLAND-8714 don't miss out!
  10. Figs (the warshade) song: figs - who doesnt kick or punch, so cannot be tough, nor weave
  11. kin/rad (many pbaoe) is a solid one, and works fulcrum. i just dont like ta on defender.
  12. theyre down to 2M? they were at 4.0-4.5 for the last 800 or so i bought.
  13. too much farm, mentality towards suffering of a goal, called aspiration, and consume/wasting of time. theres no perma 50 for me, and i may be oddity. theres reroll once 50, and the level / build cycle. each kitted with fancy ios from lvl 7. you can carry teams. despite the inf cost, i have some dozen with cot guide robes. too much inf for that. just means i have to farm. skins shouldnt cost 100 / 200 USD, and ive bought a few in other games. in gatcha, well after ~120k usd over mobius ff, genshin, and tokyo ghoul I'm forbidden. with firsthand exp i can tell you - its being eaten, looking pretty or no. i like that coh is different in this regard. but 1.125bn is too much, in my opinion. i dont want ti run big mob tunnels 80 (more) times. i suppose ive grown tired. games like wow had capture cycle of good challenge content, and evolution in need of gear for baselining entry to next tier. there isnt that in coh, just repeating less than a handful of activites for reasonable accrual, and literally 1 every 2 or so regular tf. 300 citadel tf sounds like much bumping into walls while running. yin doesnt really drop them. quite frequently posi 1. never, for me, not once, from end of mission.
  14. i dont know why they have to cost 1.125 billion inf.
  15. dont be sad @Snarky i even made you an amv (vampire in the garden/scottish widows REMEMBER REMEMBER) nothing saying they cant cause light emission, maybe theyre blinding a person? though you might think that neural disablement versus burnout... https://www.caverns-and-creatures.com/5e-spells/complete-guide-to-blinding-spells theres some ways to blind a thing, though i prefer warhammer. where the reagents required for 'blinding flash' are a 'magnesium strip'. the whole thing about light aversion was to make people who murdered and did cannabalism more spooky by associating them with night time, or light sensitivity the next day if theyd become nocturnal. your more likely to get tips from the populace: 'i saws me the vumpur, i dids'. most monsters are stories made to create a terror from very real human activities, kupo.
  16. provably power creep adjendists / adventists. kick punch are unbarred and useless. its like if you HAD to take air superiority. or how a tanker has to take a st taunt they wont use to get provoke. just in the way. dont think it equates in any way past doomsaying to incarnate trees, marerials involved, at all.
  17. but one just needs to swap kick and punch for tough and weave, or allow tough and weave to be selected at their minimum level with 0 prereqs, or weave requiring 1 (i.e. tough) you dont need to half this or that. just go for the quality of life for the player, I say. combat jumping costs almost NOTHING end wise to run and improves movement. hover provides knockback protection in the flip animation, shortening it, modifies movement, is affected like combat jumping by swift/hurdle, and so on. stealth makes you unseen, costs more end, suppresses and on. very differing powers. tough/weave cost significant end, are narrow in what they resist/defend against, and are boring but necessary for survival padding in many builds.
  18. why would it half? sounds arbitrary. like some brigand on a bridge telling you its dangerous to cross menacingly, while flashing a grin - and cleaning their teeth with a knife.
  19. rly repends loads on primary. kin >> fire/elec/sonic/dp/seismic/rad (take combat teleport for fulcrum placement) dark >> dark (they cannot hit) ea >> elec/sonic/dp nature >> sonic / seismic sonic >> fire? ff >> f it, energy / seismic empath >> sonic/fire/storm/psi pain >> psi/sonic/fire/psi traps >> no, wont condone trick arrow >> no, wont condone poison >> rad time >> fire/sonic/elec cold dom >> sonic/ice/fire rad em >> sonic/fire thermal >> fire storm >> energy/storm/elec thats just what springs to my mind, you cant go wring with: - sonic - fire - elec (if you can double end drain) - seismic (mitigation and good dmg) - dark (if dark, they rly rly cant hit)
  20. rad can get pretty silly with procs, and is surprisingly sturdy on stalker (so should be similar w scrapper). almost instant pbaoe damage proc bombs, team heals, meltdowns decent. bio is there, like fire blast. if you want a def set, ice probably will mitigate lots. but, ya, for spines, if not bio, then rad. youll have a lot of (pb++)aoe between your primary and rad.
  21. id rather see the cones reworked like the battle axe ones - they became mini-sphere aoes, and are much improved. a joy to use by comparison
  22. here, you can have my latest musings, on the life of Figs - certain to delight! youve probably heard of him if you play excelsior, he's very famous:
