Cynic

I should be able to make the 1st, and this time I plan to remember in advance and do the arc (though I planned to do that for 3 and 4 as well)

Do we know yet if it's a WR?

WooT! btw tbh

<edit> - Two whole missions without a tank too!

Fastest STF I did was with an all troller team (but we used no temps and came nowhere near that time)

Oh yeah, once I see that a controller is going to use confuse then I will ask it what it normally targets. Just cause someone has confuse doesn't mean it gets uses all that often, my Ill/Rad tends to be rather busy and doesn't use it as often as I could/should. My Mind/Kin was the same. If I had a buffing secondary (like FF or Sonic) Its likely I'd use it much more cause I wouldn't be targeting for position so much, as targets fall fairly quick it can be a real effort picking out good anchors on that Rad and stopping to confuse someone isn't always a good choice. So my confusion doesn't tend to be an opener. If I see that someone else does use theirs for it then its about finding out who.

Kind of like when I play my BS scrapper and I see another a scrapper on the team I use Shift+tab instead of Tab to select foes

OK that's pretty damned impressive

The thing that infuriates me with people using confuse is when they confuse someone I've already half killed and then moan at me for finishing it off........ I know you've just confused it, but the attack was queued and I was looking for my next target, yes it was a threat that could have been handy, but it was a threat so I killed it. I wont attack something that's been confused, but if I'm killing something don't confuse it cause if I'm playing a scrapper chances are its one click from dead.

That's my scrappers view point on confuse, when I'm playing other things it doesn't tend to happen. Probably cause my blasters are pretty much AoE based as are my tanks so my target is only there for its position not for its threat. My illusion controller has no issue with confuse and my Rad defender loves it, but when I'm playing a scrapper I swear controllers are targeting through me for that power

There will be SOME form of expansion/box presence at some point later this year, possible around the time of the 5th anniversary.

Another costume like cyborg or valkiry? I'm soooo in

(ok.. next to CoH2 my 2 favo's would be going rogue and removal of warwalls).

[/ QUOTE ]

Going rogue and robes would be good, at the same time would be better. I was real robes!

Everyone that's been watching the game for a while has pretty much agreed that something hueg is on the horizon, and I don't mean the architect. Something so big that it has consumed most of the dev team for almost a year and a half. Building on an existing MMO, that's a massive span of time.

[/ QUOTE ]

hueg eh? No kidding?

I cant make Saturday's reliably, as I go out in the evening some earlier than others

Isn't integration that green glowing thing you forget to turn on GG? What's that one do?

I don't get the need to correct people tho, if I left the game, I'd of left it. It's not like you can save the world or anything.

[/ QUOTE ]I've not left the game, I'm simply on an extended break. I still read the forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sometimes his parole officer lets him post on them too

Because of the pet bug on my Fire/TA I now hate the set so much I wont play it. Am happy to team it but I think its a joke that Issue 5 brought us a set which is broken 8 Issues later and still no sign of being fixed

[ QUOTE ]
I think i am elitist, specially when it comes to costumes. I tend to ridicule those who i think look ridiculous

[/ QUOTE ]

If/When MaX returns I must get you two on the same team, once you have regained the power of speech I want to hear your comments on his costumes

[ QUOTE ]
Sure, I'll throw a MAJOR hissy fit whenever I see a VEAT in my team without Tactical Training: Maneuvers. But if I'm leading, I won't kick them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats big of you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well even if my VEAT doesn't end up being popular I might wind up being talked about. Unless I dont team with these people till the 40s where I just about have room

There is some but not in a very usable form

My guns (two different models, for two different costumes) seem to have turned invisible, is this a known issue?

I love those little side rooms, drop bonfire and stand just out of LoS, they keep run at it, get thrown in the air and never land

Mind control is fantastic, the lack of a pet doesn't really hit it cause of mass confusion and terrify. Played a mind/kin and wound up hating Kin but loving mind. I'd imagine it would be fairly good at farming actually too. Good control and good damage in the set, shame the sleep isn't a stun or an imob instead though that's the way I'd improve the set

Irradiate is something you likely spam, it has a high end cost and soon out does your toggles in EPS. The other idea is to try to keep AM perma, so slotting for recharge bonus. I overdid the end management on my Rad/Rad defender who doesn't really notice EMP, but then Powersink helps a lot too

That sounds like some supervillain's origin story. Not one you'd want to stand in the same room as, but that's hardly surprising, is it?

Damn I dont have any elec based villains, well I have one but she already has a back story............

I have to warn you that WoC was disapointing in its mitigation until I purpled it up until that point it had no value, now it has marginal value (I went elec/psi/elec and most of my mitigation comes from DP and them having no end)

I have DoT and nothing else, so all DoT is good on my controller. Oh and its funny on a respec trial

I said I wouldn't be signing up to a team but was happy with giving advice. Controllers arer better because they control. This is good mitigation. Having been on an all Mind/Kin troller super team it is stupidly easy, lockdown, kill, lockdown, kill. With corruptors there will be damage coming your way as well and your team is squishy

The DM/Sr that I have successfully solo'd AVs with is below. Most of the build was plagiarised..... I mean influenced by Nightmarer's build
