Force Redux

Easiest? Robots/FF with Medicine pool for Aid Other. Really good build for learning the AT, and they are all ranged, so park them with a GoTo command and let them do their thing. Bubble and spot healing as needed. Safer, but slower kill speed than demons. Most fun? Demons/Dark. Lots more to do, speedier kill speed, and super effective debuffs, no knockback to fix, smoother ride to 32 than bots, since the pets are less back loaded than Bots, and damage ability is spread out more evenly. Need better situational awareness than FF since your survivability is tied to your debuffs.

I'm probably weird, but I take leadership on every character. Even my stalkers. And especially my support charterers (defenders, controllers, MMs). Always Tactics (I hate debuffs on perception, such as Arachnid), and either Maneuvers or Assault depending on AT/build. Vengeance if I have room. This is coming from someone who never takes Fighting. Even on my Tankers. I'd rather take something that benefits a while group then just myself. I team 98% of the time. YMMV.

I have Helen Carnate on Everlasting. Willing to release it, I know we have a forum goer here with the same name... Need it for a toon?

I've found the best way to promote red side activity is to start something myself. Paper missions, strike forces, whatever. It may take a little longer to gather players, but I've never actually failed to get a team going. Many blue siders will swap over, that are just waiting for someone to start something. 😀 This happens on blue. Fifteen people LFG, but no one starting anything.

Second this. My 50+3 Demons Dark solos S/L farms at +4/x8 well enough, and safely. Just keep an eye out for ambushes. It's a perfect combo for doing all content in the game.

Dat old body hit location system...

Yep, OG dev team was great, even when they had their off days. Particularly BABs and Posi. I miss CuppaJo too. And HC devs...all sorts of props for letting us fly again.

Did you still need a build? I just saw this...

Seconded.

Electrokinesis is my suggestion. I work in mental health. I don't care for "Shock Therapy" either, for a couple reasons. One, it's kind of a flavor killer.

OPs thoughts were mine as well. I've tried out a number of sentinels, including two to t3 incarnate (beam/ regeneration and electric / energy). Fun solo, good all-rounder, but as a damage class on teams leaves a lot to be desired. Damage feels off by around 10% base too low. The inherent is rather arbitrary and would benefit from a stronger effect and the ability to choose when and on which Target to occur without affecting my rotation. I like the character, but I no longer bring that character on teams. If I want damage and survivability I'm better off with my stalker or my masterminds. Would love to see some sort of buff to help the Sentinel to shine.

Love the comic. Keep it coming!

Agree. My Beast/Time is one of my top performers, from level 1 up through incarnates. Smooth sailing. Also a decent farming MM on S/L +4/x8.

My vote goes to Mercs/TA.

I'm not sure. There are lots of doorways I'd love to see used. There's a door in a small island off Mercy near the Chum badge I've never seen used, for example.

One of my favorites 🙂

This should totally have been a feature since Issue 1. 😀

I'm so disappointed, I almost thought this was going to start off as haiku! 😄

Are you saying I need to go back to using the LFG tool? 😃

Its been just over 8 months since the revival of the game came to my attention on the heels of my birthday, and it was the best birthday present ever. The community is as awesome as it ever was, here on the forums, and on Everlasting. However long we have, I appreciate the second run, all the folks forming groups, helping each other out in game or out, the donations made to keep the lights on, and the dev-time and effort. They saying is you can't go back home, but that's not true in this case. I came back home and its better than ever. I hope to one day find some old SG mates here as well (so far no luck, but you never know). You all rock. See you in Paragon!

Singy is love. Once I learned the peculiarities of Grav over Plant, it became my favorite controller set. Singularity holds aggro, sets up containment, and spams controls.

Here you go. Capped to Ranged Defense. Things don't really get to melee you, or even care about you, since the pets are tanky and tough and don't need tankerminding. Solid resists for S/L/E as well. I procc'd out Force Bolt, it can do respectable damage. http://www.cohplanner.com/mids/download.php?uc=1510&c=700&a=1400&f=HEX&dc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

Sure thing. I had an old one around here, but I've revised it. I'll post tomorrow.

Here is the data chunk. Soft capped to range. Anything in melee is debuffed to soft cap as well. I went with Musculature Radial for all the extra damage. I think my live build on the server is a bit different with some tweaks, but overall this is the same ballpark. Fortify the Pack is not needed (keep it on your tray, unused, as the Pack Mentality buffs are useful for extra crit/damage), your pets are soft-capped, but if they get debuffed, feel free to use it or Hybrid Support. However, Time's Juncture's -To Hit tends to keep that from happening.
