I've used Thunderclap alot on my lvl 50 earth/storm because it works extremely well with stalagmites in the earth set hitting the ones stalag missed and have NEVER once missed with it.

[/ QUOTE ]It used to be auto-hit, but was changed (or will be?) to work with the normal AoE mez accuracy.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was changed

Thunderclap is a PBAOE disorient with 100% ACC but it will only stun minions and Lts.

[/ QUOTE ]

Only stuns minions from when I've used it.

[/ QUOTE ]
my storm defender teams quite a lot with an earth controller and from what I've seen if we fire off thunderclap and stalagmites together we do stun the minions + Lts. On it's own though I only manage to stun minions.

am guessing since Chelsea is Earth/Storm the two powers are stacking...

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, although the two together should stun bosses too....

AFAIK all AOE hard controls are 70% of normal accuracy.

50% chance of hitting an even levelled mob once there's no modifiers in other words.

[/ QUOTE ]

When i made my earth/storm its was 100% ACC but as i understand it it has/will be changed .. not sure if it has or will be but even if it has 70% with 1 ACC enh in TC would not hurt at all.
Get it .. slot it ... love it.

i'm still in CoV and working on my 3rd and 4th 40 and i still find something new each time.
maybe its just me *shrugs*

as far as i'm aware its not changed .. i still used it and don't have ACC problems with it even tho i don't have any ACC enh in it.

[/ QUOTE ]There was definitely a dev post about it, I just can't remember whether it was patch notes or just somebody saying it would be changed...

[/ QUOTE ]

think i would of remebered something like that lol
just OT but gotta ask .. do you even have a job max or do you just troll the boards all day ? lol

Thunder Clap, it has its uses but I would personally vote against it. The animation is too long + it being PbAoE can get u killed...oh and a lousy accuracy on it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh man i wish you'd stop giving out missleading info ..just because you have no idea how a power works makes it 'lousy'.

Thunderclap is 100% ACC but it only stuns mins and Lts .. I know i've used it for ages on my lvl 50 earth/storm.
It works well with earth stacking the stun from stalagmites and the animation times isn't that long.
its saved my life thousands of times and probably the coolest looking power in the storm set.

[ QUOTE ]
Thunder Clap, PbAoE, lousy acc, long animation, only consider for PvP if you have room for another power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats not really correct and i wouldn't want anyone miss-lead buy that information.

Back before the board wipe there was a guide on earth/storm by Sim who says the same thing about thunderclap and i agree with him 100%.

but isn't hurricane repel rather than KB? (although it does kb if you run right into something). I THINK these are two different effects, though i'm not sure

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, it is both, it has three AoE's, largest one is the debuff, medium one is repel, and smallest one is knockback.

IIRC /EA stalkers have both repel and knockback protection.

[/ QUOTE ]

yes they do .. and i knew max would be along to post here to put his 2pence worth in

[/ QUOTE ]I need to up my post count somehow, don't I?

[/ QUOTE ]

and the point to that would be ..... ?

But anyway Hurricane != Immune in PvE or PvP. Still a lovely power though.

[/ QUOTE ]
I love people who think that

who was gone ?

its both KB and Repel but if you in quick with KB protection and AS with good ACC its not going to stop someone AS'ing you.
Edit Repel just slowly pushes you away.
KB knocks you down.

Takes a 3 slotted BU with tohit buffs and afew yellows to do it mind.

Yes theres /nrg stalkers and yes entropy shield in the /nrg set has KB protection and a big fat NO to hurricane unhiding stalkers .. all it does is KB's so a stalker with KB protection and good ACC can take out someone with hurricane on.

There was a really good storm guide on the boards before the wipe that i used for my earth/storm troller that i can't seem to find (or remember who did it duh)
but in general for storm i'd take -
snow storm = 2 end red
steamy mist = 2 end red
Freezing rain = 3 recharge 3 def debuff
hurricane = 3 end red 3 tohit debuff
thunder clap = 2 recharge (100% change to hit and also a 100/75/50 chance to detoggle in pvp)
lighting storm = 1 end red 2 acc and depending on PVP or PVE - PVP 3 end mods or PVE 3 damage (detoggle in PVP to)

all it takes is some /nrg stalker to walk up to someone with hurricane on and slap them across the face.

SR does have the highest defence of any of the stalker secondrys and also don't forget that SR scales with your charactor level so the higher you go in level the higher the defence is.

[/ QUOTE ]

i thought that was the RESIST part of the powers, an effect that doesnt kick in until you have pretty low health

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep the resist part scales and so does the defence debuff on the toggles.

i'd say no to both O2 boost and tornado because O2 boost is a very very small heal and tornado is so random and uncontrollable it makes it very unpredictable.
I'd hold out till hurricane and lighting storm for the storm set.
Travel powers i'd stick to just 1 set so i'd say either fly/hover or SJ/CJ but in saying that my earth storm had hasten and fly/hover depends what you want really.

[ QUOTE ]
about TI i dislike temp defence skills i don't yet know why i just don't lol.

[/ QUOTE ]

38% Resist to S/L .. pfft yeah i'd hate it to
and yeah its around 8-9%

1 as the posters before have said it does rehide you and remove you from the npc agro list for a short time so they can not see you.

TBH if your just PVE'ing stealth or invis will not be worth taking (stealth and invis DO stack with hide so do the defence bonus) as hide will give you all the concealment that you would need but no amount of stealth will make you invisable to certain mobs types like rikti drones or nemesis snipers

ninja/ff FTW
sept with sneaky scrappers in BB lol

hide i wouldn't slot with 2 end reduxs and 2 defbuffs .. it dosn't use that much end so just drop it to the one slot with a def buff and use the 3 other slots on attacks or put 3 recharge on Reconstruction.
Don't 3 slot health as theres better powers to slot with a better regen rate.
Intergration dosn't need the recharge either so theres another free slot.

fitness .. swift ..hurdle..health and stamina ..stamina being the main one as it does as it says on the tin gives more stamina ie endurance.
