ZorkNemesis Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Can't remember if a Level 30 check in was necessary, I feel like it was previous years. Anyway, the Necromancy/Empathy Mastermind is working out quite well. A little too much Empathy, Immoral Practitioner hasn't quite realized her paitents have been long dead, but that doesn't stop her from using whatever means necessary to secure her funding. She's been a lot of fun to level, I didn't realize the Necromancy pets were pretty tanky and being able to heal them certainly helps. Fortitude on the Lich and Grave Knights is pretty good and Regeneration Aura makes them all near unstoppable for the short time it's up. Probably really good on a team but I typically don't team, soloing through 30 has been pretty nice though. I'm still in the camp that Pain Domination is more effective than Empathy, especially on a Mastermind where Adrenaline Boost is wasted on pets (they don't get the benefit of Recharge bonuses). Always fun to try new things though, which is also why i'm using her for the new Villain Striga arcs that I haven't touched yet. 2 1 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

Delta Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 After a few days of playing, I managed to level up Starbelle (EM/EA Scrapper) to level 19. So far the combination has played well, although I did have a couple of close calls. Hope to get her to level 30 within a few more days. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranebump Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Got Songarden to 31 (was on a Numina, dinged a pair of levels at the end). Did NOT like the Plant/Sonic res combo very much early on. Was fun to run with teams. Hellishly slow to solo. But when I got the big area bubble/dome thing and Fly Trap (something I could throw shields on when soloing), it got more fun. Since she had a sci origin, I got the Experimentation pool. Since she can root things, I can actually see an avenue for Corrosive Vial. 1 1 1 I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump.

Uun Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Hit 30 with Uunaware (Psi/Ninja sentinel). DFB, Posi 1, Posi 2, Synapse, DIB, Penny Yin, plus the Ubelman the Unknown and Freakalympics arcs. Pretty good for the most part, but fighting Council or 5th Column makes me want to pull my hair out because of all the robots. Same goes for Banished Pantheon and the zombies. The stuff that resists psi damage resists it A LOT. 1 1 Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go0gleplex Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Playing the slot I got a Brute: Battle Axe / Electric Armor. Amazingly enough it seems to be a pretty synergetic combo. Sir Chopsalot is only low level so far (13) but tends to mow thru things pretty nicely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Managed to get Starbelle to level 31 after completing the Freaklympics and Ubelmann the Unknown story arcs. For the most part, it was a smooth ride. Energy Transfer hits like a truck, although I did have to be careful using it with the self damage. I did run into endurance issues, but getting Energize and Energy Drain has helped alleviate the issue. Overall a pretty good combination that I plan to continue to level up once the challenge ends. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasperStone Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) My roll gave me a Scrapper Rad/Ice Loved this roll. Rarely do I go scrapper. Never did Rad melee But ... have an Ice tanker as a main and love Ice Armor. I did random costumes for a bit, like what I ended up with. ... In stealth, all you see is the aura that truly supports her name. Thank you, @Troo . This@Troo this never fails to give an alt that I love.

Frostmoon Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I, too, rolled an Ice Armor Scrapper, but with Psionic Melee as the main. Meet Freezing Brain, everyone! He's officially level 30 as of today, having gotten there through a surprising variety of means: street sweeping, a Nemesis invasion, DFB, Posi 1 and Posi 2, and some assorted missions. The combo's interesting; I've never really played around with either set (I do have an Ice Armor Stalker, but she's level 2); I wasn't expecting Psionic Melee to be so single target heavy, nyeh. The character's definitely a bit heavy on the endurance drain, but Ice Armor's own [Energy Absorption] helps, and I'll be grabbing be grabbing Psionic Mastery and [Harmonic Mind] later. All in all, he's an interesting character to play. Thanks for putting this together!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Axis Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Rolled her early, and I got a TW/Elec brute. It's a pretty good combo. She's devastating once she gets some fury going, the damage aura keeps mobs beating on her to keep the fury up, and Energize keeps the thirsty TW powers going. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZekeStenzland Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Yeah, I'm late. But in my defense, I'm slow. Proton Jaguar made it to 30 today. He's pretty fun and just starting to hit his stride, I think. I'll probably take him all the way to 50 at some point. Thanks for the fun challenge, @Troo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
