Both are good and either way you go you will have a nice toon.

Will say that ill/rad synergizes better than ill/kin beacuse of knockback imho though.

My subscription runs out on the 12th of May and I'll not be renewing it (for the time being anyways) due to RL issues.

To everyone I've gotten to know ingame it's been a real pleasure.

CoX are great games and I've enjoyed every minute of it the past 15 months and would just like to say again that it's been a pleasure and honour

Take care all

If its on a warshade....wouldn't inky aspect interrupt AS? Haven't tried it though

I thought there was an -Acc penalty against the mass hold, so I can see why 2x Acc, 2x Recharge, 2x Hold Duration slotting works. But why do you need 2x Acc on the single target hold?

Just curious

[/ QUOTE ]

As is every other attack 1 accuracy would be fine in most cases if you're fighting even lvl mobs but as you progress in lvls you will more than likely be fighting 2-4+s and this is where the extra accuracy comes in handy.

2 accuracies in every attack is a must imo (unless you're running tactics)

[ QUOTE ]
gutted i missed the fight, sounded fun.

What was the final score?

[/ QUOTE ]

22 - 0 I believe?

[ QUOTE ]
you don't have to take sj, just two of jump kick, cj and sj, so you could add a little bit of damage potential in there too. might be useful for the kineticist as they need to be in the fray anyhow.

[/ QUOTE ]

/em shakes head in disbelief

The Katie Hannon Task Force is lvl 30-34 and you need one who has done all the Croatoa story arcs to unlock the task force.

You need to be at least 6 in the team to start it.

[ QUOTE ]
If you want haste or CJ+acro, you may as well get a proper travel power and skip IR.

[/ QUOTE ]

hmm, I would actually take IR over SJ any day (unsurpressed movement ftw)...but since you "need" CJ and Acro you have to take SJ so might aswell skip IR

It's how long the mobs are held...though it doesn't do a massive difference since it pulses the holds (as it would do a bigger difference with a "normal" hold)

Stealth only stacks on stalkers.

Maybe move one of the slots in RI to an extra end red in acrobatics?

It basically just needs 3 recharges. You can add a few hold durations in it if you have the slots but it isnt overly needed.

It pulses its holds onto the targets and most of the time none will be held immediately...basically stacking holds to the targets (as you would need to stack 2 normal holds on a boss to hold him)

Was a good Hammidon raid. And for the record I spoke breifly with Xanthus and he told me it looked like the Mito clearing stage was the fastest to date. So what is the official word on that? And how fast was the whole thing? As the intent for some of us to do it speed style.

Managed to find something to do during hold phaes when the GMs came to bother us. And one poor sole had one spawn right on him. Anyway we got rid of it didnt we? So I had a good run as I swapped my dam ranges that I had for months. But is there anyone else out there willing to swap HOs? Should we resurrect that Hammi swap thread?

And lastly big grats to all who took part. Next time. Even quicker? Lest compete with the US servers.

[/ QUOTE ]

From above it looked like the mito clearing started a bit slow with quite a few deaths...a lot more than we did the last time. After a while we definately picked up the pace. Must admit I didnt notice if it was at the same time as Xanthus yelled out for rads to use enervating field but think it was.

Spawnus had a bit of trouble being the targetter at first as it was his first go at it but did really well in the end.

I think the main reason why we started a bit slow with the mitos was the massive numbers we had there and people seemed to be a little confused but it all came together in the end.

Don't think we should have too frequent raids as it might get boring for some people but we've talked about biweekly raids and see what the turnout would be....this isn't decided yet though.

One thing we would like to do though is: If people could try and get teams in advance? We know this will be hard for most people but those of you that can please do. We really wanna cut down on the preperation phase. Does this sound like an idea? and is it possible? (this wouldn't apply to illusion trollers since they need to be on PA dropping duty with Imaginary and myself)

Swap one of the hold durations with another recharge, you want to stack them as fast as possible.

See if you can get an end reducer in this one.

Doesn't really need end reducers. You can use 1 and maybe move the other to SJ?

Swap 1 of the slows for a recharge, this is probably the best PvP power in the set and the base slow is really high.

26 : Assault endred(26)

[/ QUOTE ]

If you plan on running this all the time put another end reducer in it.

[ QUOTE ]
28 : Super Speed runspd(28)

Put 1 more slot in this, should be an end reducer

You can remove 1 of the end reducers in this.

You can skip the phant if you want to. Basically only worth anything in duels.

See if you can get another end reducer in here.

Consider the Primal Forces epic instead. Powerboosted AM and LR is great.

Yup, was good fun.

Had to bring in a spiney though to get them pesky empaths down on the ground

sssh, I'm not really here...

[ QUOTE ]
Sorry, I meant Gravity Distortion - the single target hold. You're right about the slotting of GDF, of course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would recommend the exact same slotting for the single hold

Grats man....had the pleasure of having you on my PA team. Good job on 50 and Hami

Good job guys....was good fun

and thanks to all the PA droppers in both teams...really good work

Good day for the organisers: Citadel, Numina, Eden and Hami in quick succession

I have 3 warburg nukes, as yet not sure what I'll do with 'em, but I had to say I had 3 nukes (and counting for intended usage in the raid).

[/ QUOTE ]

Please do NOT use Warburg nukes at the raid. We do not have a damage phase, and as such attacks aren't needed. In addition to this, the lag those things cause is IMMENSE which is something we definitely don't want during the raid.

Edit: Also, quick note; Honsou can't make it to this raid due to RL stuff so Nemesis Spawnus will be targetting in his place.

[/ QUOTE ]

Cool. One of those nukes is a buff, is it a good idea to fire it before entering the hive or leaving it entirely?

[/ QUOTE ]

It will be pretty laggy in the Hive and we have to keep the lag to a minimum to succeed so don't use any attacks/buffs that would case unnecessary lag. No AoEs, fulcrum shift, nukes to name a few.

Please read the guide if you haven't.

I wouldnt take AS on a grav roller. Your hold , imob and lift powers are all -fly anyway. Crush does more damage than AS and i would 3 slot with damage. Your hold does more damage than crush so i would also 3 slot it with damage. With hasten and S.speed you have great recharge. This then lets you have a good attack chain with crush ,lift, your hold and propel.

[/ QUOTE ]

For PvP maybe, but I think the OP was talking about PvE where 3xHold in Gravity Distortion Field is essential.

[/ QUOTE ]

3 holds aren't essential. 2 holds are all you need, better to slot it 2 acc, 2 rech, 2 holds

For PvP it would be 2 acc, 3 rech, 1 hold

...or when people empty a full tray of inspirations during a fight they simply refuse to lose (I just don't like the use of inspirations in PvP, as it takes away from the strategic use of your own powers).

[/ QUOTE ]

I know I do this in PvE if I'm in trouble so why wouldn't you do it in PvP?
If you need to restock on inspirations you have to leave the zone (or use your valuable bounty to purchase new ones) so generally you have to be careful what to use.

2: Competetiveness. I'm not competetive, other people are. Mainly myself and these people don't get along. I don't see the need for beating each other senseless in virtual environments and would much rather work co-operatively and socialise.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can fully understand why you would feel like this but PvP is really about cooperation to get the maximum results...and I like to think we're socialising. For instance I'm from Defiant and I probably wouldn't have met or spoken to any of the Union players if it wasn't for the PvP fights on the testserver.

Just out of interest though, why would anyone attack a brute if there is a corrupter nearby to kill first?


[/ QUOTE ]

why wouldn't you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Why wouldnt I? Well why attack a shielded AT being healed over a non shielded AT with less health doing the healing?

A blaster could probably still do it easily but still dont see, unless your taunted, why you would go for brute 1st tbh.

Edit: Not trying to be funny, really like to know incase I should be .

[/ QUOTE ]

In most cases of course we (emphasis on we) would of course go for the squishy first but sometimes its just fun to go for the harder kills.

If I was alone I would always go for the squishy since I only play trollers and corrs so I would have some trouble killing even 1 of them

and kin.. what? are u saying i dot know anything about PvP? then that must mean u know it all, to be able to make that judgment.. and even as i asked u for suggestions and advices, u act as if u where friendly, when u really laughed at me behind my back? if my theory about maxing -acc/+def is soo horrible, can u plz explain why all of theese original PvP-uber sets has been nerfed? why did hey remove perma-elude? coz it sucked? no, coz with perma-elude, it was pointless to fight them in PvP... and if im trying to duplicate that situation, im stupid and ignorant?

sorry for offending u all by actually trying to clear some questionmarks up.. next time my post will only contian 'Violators Rule!!' comments and 'AoW are a bunch of girls' taunts, since this is the effect i have anyway, there is no point in wasting my time on this forum.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh stop the drama! From what I can see you believe DEF is the way to go and Kin is leaning towards RES and therefore asking for the oppinion of people here....no need to be a dramaqueen about it.

You started a good thread here. You have made some comments in the past that apparantly have made you feel somewhat persecuted on these boards. Next time you feel like writing a counterreply like this try and read the original post once more and take a couple of deep breaths before you do so....then maybe you will realise that not everyone are out to get you.
