Corruptor/Sonic/Trick Arrow

I'm really not sure how this wins, lol. Guess I'll have to see what I can slap together in mids. 

 

And it didn't take me long to see while TA is an interesting secondary, the cones and the damage of Sonic...it's just not good. I mean, I don't even think it's fair. This doesn't sound fun at all for a guy that solos. 

I suppose I could try to team the entire duration after the MS event. Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. I'll wait until after the event ends. 

I'll look in the corruptor forums for sonic primary, but I am not gonna hold my breath.

So, Night Requiem just dinged level 30 -- mostly solo, although I did end up joining a Mapserver League to speed him through the last couple levels.
This was my first Stalker, and it's quite fun. I really like being able to sneak up and Assassin Strike a Sky Raider Engineer, for instance, to prevent him summoning his Force Field Generator. The Dual Blades combo attacks (Weaken, Sweep, et. al.) are a little underwhelming, but I like it otherwise.
I'll probably put him aside for a bit, since I was in the middle of leveling another character before the contest started, but I'll come back to him.

Now that the Map Server distractions have been resolved it's back to getting a random roll or two up to level 30. Good luck! May the randomness be kind.

Magnaseism: a Seismic/Sonic Blaster...it's been an interesting combination so far. Sonic seems a but underwhelming especially if the mobs get in close but with the seismic shock going there's just enough mitigation to make it work those first 10 levels. See how it fares as things go.

Gonna extend this until Monday the 28th. Map Server.. Easter.. another week will allow folks playing old school to get to 30 without distraction. 🙂

Reporting in…young Rasset has been afflicted with a plague of his kids from the future coming back in time to “fix” the past.  The new arrival, from a timeline where Rasset has gone full hero, is the legacy hero Rassette.  Her dad’s a Ninja Blade/Invulnerability Stalker; her mom’s a Psi Melee scrapper, so she’s an Invulnerability/Dual Blades Tanker:

After a slow start due to technical difficulties (everyone on Mapserver), she managed to reach level 30 last week and got to 35 in time to join in last night’s Tanker Tuesday IMSR (where she had a blast).  Sadly, the next arrival – Fire/Storm Corruptor – did not reach level 30 on schedule as solo survivability has been a major struggle (but teaming is great fun).

 

Thanks Troo for a great event!  Hope everyone had a random April!

A little late reporting, but I was able to get Phantom Force to Level 30. It was a fun ride and a nice change of pace. Phantom Army is nice, but did have to avoid drawing too much attention from enemies that weren't engaged with the army. This was the furthest that I had leveled up a Dominator and I've been enjoying the experience so far.

 

As for Arc Vixen and Ember Blade, I was only able to get them to level 20 before I focused on leveling up Phantom Force to 30 as he was the closest, but both played well.
