Nice, but do you really need Rebirth as a /Rad? You could go Clarion Radial for the mez protection and the secondary boosts (it's the same as Power Boost) and then go fire pool.

It even gets changed mid mission when I did nothing (no costume change). Very annoying.

I did not know that the right way of "trolling" like you call it, is dependent if there is a tank on the Team. I run my Controller all the same way, it usually doesn't matter what other ATs are in the Team.

I completely understand you, but the Blaster was alread IOed out and did not take damage and just nuked the spawn. It feels like some emps don't have awareness of their environment and what is really happening and adapt to it.

I am myself coming from other MMOs, like Everquest and played a fair share of healers myself. Still don't get it, because if they are that good of a healer they should notice when the health bar is not moving.

But if they are coming form other games they should at least choose equally often Thermal, Pain or Nature. And I mostly play support myself but I just put myself between melees and ranged and buff on the go.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I have a 50 Ill/Dark (perma PA, Musculature, Assault, 215% global recharge) and a 50 Plant/Dark (Musculature, Assault, 216% global recharge). My Ill will never be as fast as my plant who can run almost anything at /x8, this would take forever on my Ill who is able to solo AVs and GMs but running quick at x8? No way. My plant kills on a reasonable speed, especially when I compare her to some of my melee toons. You guys do slot Carrion Creepers and AoE immob for damage, do you?

I have mixed experiences with Tanks, but most on Reunion are good tanks. Brutes on the other hand.... But what is really driving me mad is the amount of shitty and bossy emps that are running around. Starting with the ones that don't take any attacks besides the first one and put heal on auto. Or the lazy one, that has the buffs but does not use them. Or the one that puts clear mind on the melees (not talking lowbie teams here). But the worst is the one that bosses everyone around and think that the team can't go on without them. I had one screaming to the Blaster (who was totally fine) not to attack first. And they tend to insist that you come to them for buffs, even if you don't need them. They are in over their head and think only they have value buffs. I never had that happen with any other support set, be it kin, dark, cold, thermal, pain or whatever. They just buff on the go and deal with it. Plus they are super ignorant about other powersets. We got a kinetics with speed boost and a Dark with Soul Absoprtion, we don't want to run all the way back to you just to get Recovery Aura, regardless of how many times you insist we do. And when they announce you how to stay near them for the heal, out Thermal would like to have a word with you. Can someone explain to me what's wrong with them? Sorry for the ran, but I could write a book about those types of emps.

Not sure if I did something wrong, but I could start Maria Jenkins at 45 but not the Ouro Arc, it did not show up until level 50. So I usually do the new arc, since I can do it earlier if I did not get it while leveling up and joining others on the way.

If I farm inf for myself I usually run alone, but if someone tells me if they can stick along, they get invited. I never charge but I also never PL all the way to 50, not myself, not anyone else. I do not do it for my onw toons, as I like to see if I like the powers and such (I am mainly rolling toons with powersets I did not back on Live). I don't think it's a good idea if a completely new player gets PLed all to 50. Oh, but I usually run PI Teams with any of my level 50 and everyone is welcome to join, even lowbies.

Also another vote for Warmace. It's totally underrated.

I had an perma PA Ill/Rad on live and now have a perma PA Ill/Dark. I personally enjoy the /Dark much more, with that much recharge (215% in my case) all powers are up so often and Fade and especially Soul Absorption are so damn good, I can hardly ever play any other Secondary on a Controller. Fluffy also helps with setting up some containment ans is generally a good pet to have around.

Back on live I saw a lot of Ice Trollers doing that to themselfs too 🙂

The Problem with FF is, that everyone can take care of their defense with IOs early on, plus Weave and later Barrier. It's not TM that takes away the enjoyment of FF. FF needs a serious buff.

You can also go Clarion, same mechanics, open up more pool Options. But putting that aside, in a world where TW/Bio Scrapper exist, I am not even sure Clarion or Power Boosted Farsight is our main concern, is it? Plus in endgame def buffs are meh, because most people took already care of their defences, and then there is Barrier….

Can you really get PB to 60s so it can match up with Fade? I don't use PB on any of my Darkness Affinity toons, so no idea. Have an Ill/Dark and Plant/Dark. On the Illusionist I went only for recharge for perma PA so did not care about defenses. The Plant/Dark has soft capped range defense just with Fade only. And, I don't use PB on my Fire/Time Corrupter either. Because Clarion. So we need to take that into the discussion too.

May I suggest doing all the stat accolades too, because they made a big difference in HP on all my toons.

Had the same happen too me. Thanks for finding the reason out.

Was fun last week, looking forward teaming with you guys again later.

Thanks Darkir, the one with rune of protection is definately what I was looking for. Thanks a lot.

Ok, found the following build posted from Darkir with the Fighting Pool. How does that look? There were no responses to his last post, so wondering.

How could you possibly have any end issues with Soul Absorption?

Hi there I am looking for an endgame Ice/Rad build, but I am unsure if I can achieve the things I want, as I am not that good with Mids. I want perma AM/Hasten, softcapped ranged defenses (this should be enough, or what do you guys think?) Is this even possible without taking the fighting pool? Pools I wanted to take are: Leadership (Maneuvers, Maybe Assault), Flight (Hover, Fly), Leaping (Combat Jumping), Speed (Hasten, Maybe Superspeed), Dark Mastery (Dark Consumption, Sould Drain, Dark Embrace). Powers I can live without are: Choking Cloud, Fallout, EM Pulse and Bitter Freeze Ray and I would skip eiter Ice Bolt or Ice Blast and maybe Mutation if the build is tight. Some points in the right direction, like if this is even possible would help me much and would be highly appreciated. Money is not an issue.

This is nice, is there a plan for Controller pets too? I really like my Phantasm to stay in range if poosible.
