Tornado is a triple threat: stun, defense debuff, and damage with the appropriate slotting the KB > KD is nice too

The knee jerk reaction I had was to pair up with a kinetic/sonic defender. Hellooo damage cap. Second thought was something with good -resistance like a storm or a cold defender. Then I thought of a novel idea. Try a sonic/sonic defender. The hula hoop of doom is designed for a dedicated melee teammate. You have the dispersion bubble for your own mezz protection, and with the sonic shields, the brute can slot more towards damage and less towards resistance in theory teamed with the sonic. Then of course you can proc out what can be proc'd and blast away to add to the duo's output damage total. Sonic/rad or Sonic/water may lend themselves to increased proc damage. Howl is hard to resist though.

Group fly is also situationally useful in instanced maps where the robots pathing will often send them through additional groups. You can avoid this with group fly to position your robots where you like them to go without running around like chickens with their heads cut off

When the Triumphant Defenders roamed the triumph server back in the day, the theme song that ran in my head, when the forcefield bubbler, the doubly dark defender, and the stormy grouped, was MC Hammer's Can't Touch This. (Does the constipation dance side to side in my imagination)

Last Sunday, we had a diverse group of Defenders take on the Ouro-Sister Psyche TF. Much fun was had. Please join our global channel "Buffed Up" and look for us on Everlasting around 3PM EDT. See you soon.

Kin/Electric probably drains better than Electric Affinity but Kinetics does not have Faraday Cage.

Hello, Defenders, Let's synergize and take down a TF or two this afternoon!

The fantasy can be yours if you play on an all defender team 🙂

Help me out with this observation. I am not following. On my elec aff defender I target the ally with the lowest health bar, or the ally with the lowest end bar to benefit accordingly. As far as I know, although it is smaller than kinetic or rad emission, energizing circuit boosts recharge and end modestly. Empowering circuit boosts +damage +tohit, and insulating circuit throws on an absorb shield. Unless the team is always at the recharge, damage, absorb caps along with the ever popular Faraday Cage. As good as dark, cold, kinetics and rad are, they don't boast the mezz resistance of electric affinity. Or is it about the fps?

I don't know of any group doing this specifically, but it would still work on an all Rad/x defender team: dmg, recovery, recharge, some mezz resist, rotating anchors would debuff defense and resistance, stacking lingering ratiation two or three times, rotating nukes, rotating EMPulse - oh my, gives me chills. Let's not forget a good mixture of sonic debuff, rad blast debuff, water debuff, dark blast debuff, mmm. Toss in dual pistols, fire blast, ice blast, psy blast for flavor.

Looking for Defenders again on this fine Sunday

I am looking for all defender action this afternoon, starting around 2ish EDT

I have been trying to promote all-defender activity this week and I will see what is out there this weekend, too, Friday night, Saturday and Sunday

I will be looking for more defenders to team with this afternoon. See you soon in Paragon.

Playing a Trick Arrow defender compared to empathy or thermal is as different as a blaster from a tank. I love Trick Arrow on a team and think they are one of the best for team multiplying for -def -res soft control with the oil slick slip and slide and some good AoE dmg. In short, it depends on the Defender primary and the player's playstyle emphasis what to expect from a defender.

not many so far, its been a nice weekend and the holiday has many people afk

I am going to stick my nose in CoH for a minute or two, but I had unexpected company this weekend. Sorry for the late notice.

I am on Amazon Burning looking for defender recruits :D. Its 1:24PM EDT Everlasting server

Don't underestimate snow storm. It is a top-notch snare/slow, Leveling up you will like the interrupt feature that keeps embalmed vazilok, energy mages, skyraider engineers, etc from doing their most annoying actions.

You don't need to take all the rad blast powers to be effective. To me , neutron bolt, irradiate, proton volley, cosmic burst, neutron bomb (although this aoe is a bit slow) and atomic blast are a good package. You can proc out the defense debuff slotting and targetted AoE slotting.

Interest in the superteam seems to be rising again. I will make every attempt to be online at 3PM EDT (New York TIme) on this coming Sunday to just meet up socially to get logistics worked out. Some casual defender-heavy teaming would be appropriate, too, but I am not expecting a full blown team run right away. Add me as a global friend @psylenz and send me a private message.

Add me as a global friend, send me an offline private message if I am not online at the time: @psylenz and I will get us connected.

I like your thinking

Yesss, leadership is not wasted, but I was thinking mezz protection from dispersion bubble, and the little bubbles stay with you even if you stray from the group. I accidentally omitted Time, I like time. I also adore electric affinity, especially the Faraday cage.
