    This is my build on live. I didnt go for Mu because I had more than enough attacks.

    He is 2% under the cap for Smashing/Lethal, Energy and Negative. One application of Energy Absorption and he is good.

    OMG .1% ?????!!!!!!

    Dude seriously... go have fun playing... dont worry so much that you arent at the magical 45% number.
  4. Airhammer
    It seems to me there is a debate over what is control and what is not.

    THAT to me is total perception.

    You are kidding right ??

    A well played controller is a thing of sheer beauty. Control played will is VERY effective and quite powerful.

    As we hunted the cimerorans pre-valley of lag, there was... gasp... no lag!
    And not only on the ITF. On a few other TFs I did, people forgot about making it fast, and were attacking and defeating stuff, sometimes even for fun (and totally contraproducent thinking on time/reward rates). When was the last time any of you cleared the last map of LG? And engaged the upper part of the Hamidon mission? Not stealthed anything on Khan or Barracuda? And STF and LRSF?

    The reward rates are pretty good. You can make your first tier doing only one TF (choosing one for a component you want) or even crafting the first and starting to get things to the 2nd (choosing a component AND your first tier needed Gray'matter).
    This !!

    Update.

    Ive decided to unlock them all. Even if I dont get the Alpha Slot there may be something down the line I WILL want.
  8. Airhammer
    I just want the knockback removed from Solar Flare already... Change it to Knockdown.. I already do ENOUGH Knockback.

    Footstomp had its knockback removed and changed to knockDOWN
    Frozen Aura.. KnockDOWN.
    Tremor.. knockDOWN...


    why is Solar Flare knockback ??????!!!!!!!!!! in a set that already has a TON of Knockback !!!!!

    Add a scroll box to the Description section and fix this bug where what I'm typing stops appearing until I exit, go back in, and then it magically appears somewhere else in the description box.

    Along with the suggestion here, increase the character limit on the description section (double it? Pretty please? Or at least 1500-2000?)

    New issue anyone? "So's your face"
    Well If I remember correctly it is supposed to be an ID card of some type.

    But there MUST be an increase to the number of characters. This is one reason i stopped writing bio's. I have a great bio.. start typing. run out of space.. got tired of trying to fit things in.

    Go Ill/Rad and dont look back.

    Gravity should be a LOT better.. simply put.. its not.. EVERY controller I have is better than Gravity.... And I have a level 50 Grav/Kin...

    Grav/Rad and Grav/Storm are some of the better combos with Grav however.

    Grav has been subpar for a while with no fixes in sight.
    Maybe Issue 20.. or 21... or 22..
  11. Airhammer
    The Mercs absolutely should have a branching tree of powers just like a SoA does.
  12. Airhammer
    I have names reserved for toons just it case this ever happens !!!!!

    Are they going to fix the Co-Op issues so people can team together and get credit for him ??

    hmm Mace, would be a nice option.. I dont have a /Mace yet. And I dont have a Stone either...


    Time to warm up the Mid's !!!!

    Update.

    The Recharge/Heal did not get my Energize on my Elec/SS to perma. It moved closer. I can tell the difference but I was hoping for perma. It did bump my heal from 963 to 1001, so that is gain for me.

    I will do the same for my Fire/Fire. I dont have end issues.

    My Inv/Nrg is getting damage.

    Everythinge else is getting End/Res.
  16. Airhammer
    One of the best build I have ever made in this game and I just made my first one last year. After 5+ years of playing I could kick myself for waiting for so long to make an Ill/Rad.
  17. Airhammer
    Thats what I looked at. The end results of increased damage for me outweigh everything else. Plus my Elec/Elec will also benefit from End Mod as well.. SWEET !!!!!

    Agreed... The random roll should give out the level you are seeking.

Well, it's still hard on the blue bar. Having the Theft of Essence: Chance for Endurance proc in Dark Regeneration is also a HUGE help, I highly recommend that.
    I totally agree here. I have one at level 50 and it is a serious Tank/Troller. When I get the Alpha slot I am going for End Redux/Damage Resistance which will help even more.

    He is just shy of the Soft Cap to S/L at 42% but the ability to stun everything around me helps that. Also has a massive heal.

    You da man. I plowed through about 40 myself.
  21. Airhammer
    I have a serious issues with the Invention System. Because we have a system that is designed to place IOs at a particular level you receive lower values for that IO because it is a lower level. However we also have an exemplar system which allows you to go back and do other content. The issue I have is that this often makes the lower IO's more valuable than the higher value IO's. Also I have an issue when I roll for recipes with Merits or AE Tickets I set the value at level 35-39 but if I am level 50, I get a level 50 IO. Now if I roll an entire set of something like I did with some Positrons I only get the bonuses at higher levels not lower ones.

    This system seems somewhat backwards to me. Its like it penalizes higher level rolls making them less valuable and less desirable.

    I think its time to really rethink how the IO system works.

    Just my thought for the day.

    Ive unlocked on three so far. Some of my characters are intertwined. Friends, Rivals, Brothers etc etc so if one gets the Alpha then the other one will get one.

    Side switching I find has pretty much killed Redside. Almost everyone of my villians are rogues just so I can play them and team more consistently.
