Comments please?

Would it make a huge amount of difference to drop CJ/SJ and take Hasten & SS? I have the GvE Jump Pack (prestige power) so I have vert movement when I need it...

Very unscientifically:

Clickyheals - 3 Heal, 3 Recharge

FH & IH - 3 Heal (is it worth slotting Health for this too?)

QR + Stam - 3 EndMod

Offensive powers - all 2 +Acc and as many Dam as I can fit on (except Parry, which will be 2 +Acc only. Is it worth slotting this for +Def or not?)

Combat Jump - 2 +Def

BU + Hasten - 3 Recharge

Swift - 1 Run
Rest - 1 Rchg
SJ - 1 EndRed

Knew I'd forgotten something

Plus I've never played /Regen before, so I didn't know this was a selfheal AS WELL AS an HP boost. 6 days to my 24 month badge and I'm still a n00bster

...thoughts please?

...does Lightning Storm get Containment Damage - and if not, why not?

It's good for stunning minions, which it does very effectively. So if you solo and need to hold up a crowd of minions while you wipe out the bosses, it works. If you team and you're unlucky enough to get surrounded, it's a good "panic button".

Oh, and it's pwitty

It will NOT, however, affect Lts or Bosses at all unless stacked with another Disorient (from another player or a different power).

If you have a spare slot or you like it for a concept build, fine, but you're probably better off with a pool power if there's nothing else tasty you want.

For an L35 choice, Tornado is much more useful.

It's invaluable when soloing, but more situational when teaming - especially if you have a herd-obsessive tank. As an example, unleashing Tornado in the respec Reactor is very effective in keeping bad guys - including bosses - away from the reactor core and off their feet.

If you position it in a small side room, sewer tunnel or corridor corner, it can lock down a roomful of bad guys and keep your team happy.

Be aware, though, that if there's nothing for bad guys to bounce off (eg: in larger rooms or open areas) then you will split up any herds and make both your and your team's AoEs less effective.

I think this is a conspiracy...the police can't be arsed to recapture all those council/hellion/skull thugs so they leave it to escaping supervillains to kill em in order to free up prison space and get away with not fulfilling thier duty as officers of the law.

Yep, John Reid has a lot to answer for.

Oh, you meant in-game??

Anyone got slotting advice for Singularity, Tornado and Lightning Storm please?

Very happy with my new sparkly ball of DOOM following me around. It certainly seems to be able to take a lot more punishment than imps or frosties, maybe on a par with the Stone. Not sure whether it dishes out as much, but it really does help with lockdowns

The Energy/Energy combination is the most fun you can have with your GR1SM battle suit on.

Edited to remove any possible Speedo contamination and prevent unnecessary mindbleach releases.

I've always slotted 2 or 3 ACC (even pre-ED) for one simple reason: no matter how much you boost your damage with reds, if you don't hit the damn thing in the first place that puts your effective damage numbers down a lot.

If you have a secondary boost such as Targeting Device you could drop this to one, but never zero - coming back from a stun or other toggle drop you may need to squeeze off a shot quickly.

Any relation to this lot? (clicky)

The mob must actually be held, immobilised, disoriented or slept when you attack it for containment damage to take place. So if you were trying to hold a boss, you would need to stack 2 holds on him.

[/ QUOTE ]

Question - do you need to have personally held/slept/mezzed the mob or is any mezzed mob counted as Contained?

First two - I'm not sure these two classes of Tanks are meant to do the other two

Buddy of mine has a concept for a Tanker toon they want to try out, but which is better - Stone with Ice Melee or Ice with Stone Melee?

/em vader

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yay for baby rad/unidentifiable green goo controllers!

See you soon

To me so far it's been the digital equivalent to a wedgie and naked-run around the pool table: exactly what the new guy deserves. No biggie.

Good to see the spirit of John Blutarsky lives on. But still, MINDBLEACH! PLEASE! MIIINDBLLEEACCCHH!

oh, and welcome to Defiant.

Sorry if I haven't spotted this yet, but are you US, Canuck, Aussie or from the Best Bloody Country On Earth (Kiwi)?

Many, many of your key Grav/Storm powers and combos will achieve this.

My slots:
WORMHOLE: 2xAcc, 2xDisDur, 2xRchg

GDF: 3xAcc, 1xHold, 2xRchg

CRUSH FIELD: 2xAcc
FREEZING RAIN: 1xAcc (for the knockdowns), 3xRchg, 1xSlow

As the man says above, Crush Field + Freezing Rain = PatchOfDeath. If your GFX card can handle it, add in Snow Storm for practically a total lockdown.

And of course, you can Wormhole any fleeing minions who escape back into the PatchOfDeath. Particularly good when you can corner a bunch of them against the scenery.

Best. Misread. Thread title. EVAH.

Coming to Channel 4 in the new year...

I run on Med Char and Low World detail with particles set very low, and it still screws me up every time someone uses it.

Revision following I8: dropping Snowstorm because of the massive visual lag it creates.

So new build is...

01 Lift (still prefer it to Crush, as with AirSup you can keep an enemy bouncing up, down, around and off the walls. Which not only good for stopping them attacking you, but visually entertaining)
01 Gale
02 Grav Distortion
04 O2 Boost
06 Propel
08 Crushing Field
10 Air Superiority
12 Swift
14 Fly
16 Freezing Rain
18 Health
20 Stamina (boy do I love stamina)
22 Grav Distortion Field
24 Hurricane

...and planned thus far...

26 Wormhole
28 Thunderclap (A Disoriented enemy ain't doing damage)
30 Steamy Mist
32 Singularity
35 Tornado
38 Lightning Storm
41 Power Blast
44 Temp Invuln
47 Power Boost
49 Conserve Power

Yep - they all currently use the standard Bauer And Drescher Multi Operation Firing Ordnance rifle. Aka the "Super Soaker".

Selectable rifles are rumoured to be coming in if Weapon Customisation ever hits Live.

Style pointers aside, MM isn't for everyone as an Epic set.

- Body Armour is slightly weaker than the other Resist powers, but is an Auto power (costs no END, can't be detoggled).

- Cryo Freeze is superb. Get it, slot it, use it.

- Sleep Grenade... highly unreliable and may cause as much aggro as it saves you.

- LRM: superb sniper-ranged nuke - knock enemies down like ninepins from half a mile away.

Nearly time for my lovely Veteran's Respec. Any advice on slotting?

Well done, n00bfeatures Enjoy squidlife.
