Another Welshman hits 50! Grats man, well deserved 50. You've become a great tank. Very glad to have you in the Paragon Defenders!

Yeah, the best way is to try and get a team of people who you play with and form a team. You'll know each other's playstyle.

2) I'd drop stealth/grant invis and pick up Assault and Tactics. And Vengence if I could find the room.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have Assault, Tactics and Vengence atm... But I need SS, TP, Stealth and Fitness. You may disagree with the Fitness power bacause of RA, but I like being at full health/endurance all the time (especially endurance)...
Ressurect is always good to have fully slotted with recharge, as it CAN go wrong sometimes.

For the healing part; I'm a spam-healer, have always been a spam-healer, and will always be a spam-healer. If I see a teammate losing just a little health I'm there instantly. Have never had any complains about it, and I don't think I'll ever get it.

My SG-mates says I'm a topclass healer, and that's with the build I'm having atm., but it's getting improved now by replacing Leadership with SS. Not that Leadership is a bad powerpool (exept for Maneuvers), it's just that now that I'm level 50, the damage dealers do ALOT of damage already and if I get hit I'm still a bit squishy...

SS + Stealth makes me but a mere shadow in the heat of a battle... No more getting the attention from some level 50+ AV... *cough*Infernal*cough*

Hope this can answer some of the questions you might have...

There's nothing wrong with your build, it's just different from what I have. I team with alot of people who have tactics, so the combined bonus is nice. Especially in PvP.

But your build is obviously working for you, and if I had the space I'd probably want to go down the stealth route myself.

I'm not so sure about stamina myself, I run 3 toggles, while healing and attacking and I haven't ran out of endurance very often. I think I used one Catch a Breath on the SS TF I did last week. But that's personal preference. And I always have my epic endurance transfer power to back me up.

All in all though, a very nice support build.

Cheap as hiding by NPCs might be, it's no more cheap than SJing to the top of a building to escape an SSer, or mezzing someone and then running. Tactics are more than just "pres butan".

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it is, a npc can give debt.

Then you have the option of not charging in.

A bit more on topic... I kinda like random teaming, its fun a lot of the time, and if everyone resorts to teaming with just 7 members of their SG from now on, thats just a bit sad and obviously is cliquey.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am sorry but this is wrong. Noone can dictate me who is good to team with. My SG is small i like to level up with them and that makes me play in small teams with people from my SG and coalition. Thats is not clique thats is having friends and actually hanging around with them. You cant seriously tell me just because i not go in PUG's thats means i am clique. Its a personal choice.It doesnt ruin your fun or anyone else's fun and certainly its not a wrong thing.I definetely disagree with that

[/ QUOTE ]

Exaclty, why should I team with random people? This game is far more fun if you team with people you get on with. I spend most of my time teamed with my SG or friends I meet along the way. I very rarely join a PUG, unless a friend is already in the team. If that's cliquey then so be it.

A couple of things I'd change (this is just my personal opinion) 1) the extra slots in ressurect. But if there's nowhere else you want more slots, it's fine. 2) I'd drop stealth/grant invis and pick up Assault and Tactics. And Vengence if I could find the room.

[ QUOTE ]
I have people on my global friends list I havent talked to in weeks. Why? Because they havent bothered to talk to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe they're thinking the same thing? 'He won't talk to me so I won't talk to him'...

Should be up this month or next. Before Issue 7 at any rate.

Yeah, sadly The Paragon Defenders were mostly busy tonight. It's been one of the quietest nights in the SG for a while.

[/ QUOTE ]
I wasn't busy!

I would've come!

(But BT broke my phone line).

[/ QUOTE ]

Hax!

It also builds when you get attacked.

Increase Density: I found you can't keep this on a team, it runs out too fast. So I would slot it with 1xDam Resist.

IMO Speed Boost needs no slotting with SOs, just put an End Mod in it. It has a base of 0.97ish, more than a fully slotted stamina. If they need 1.8 end per second over basic end recovery they would only be able to function with a kin on the team anyway. If you regulary team with someone like this and they are very effective I'd like to know what powersets they have ( Spine/DA scrapper perhaps with 2 damage auras and no stamina?).

[/ QUOTE ]

If you can spare the slots why not? More endurance is never a bad thing.

[ QUOTE ]
Okay, I've had about enough of this.

The last thing I want to do is have to lock a thread that's supposed to be congratulating someone on hitting 50, but I will be forced to if people can't stop making snide, surly or just downright rude posts.

If you happen not to like a specific player, that's entirely up to you. But I don't want to see any more of this in a 'congrats on 50' thread. Be nice, or don't post, please.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed.

And since my post was one of those replys to a deleted post, congrats Lui.

RV is capture the flag.

Brilliant. Totally, undeniably brilliant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gah! Me want now! I wonder if I could fashion a time travel device in the next couple of weeks...

It really is. Tempted to roll a D3 myself now! I probably would if I had any slots left on Defiant

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Was there any need for that? I'm not Lui's number one fan, but if you don't want to congratulate him why even post?

[/ QUOTE ]

People follow bad examples. Ie: "Tumbleweed".

Aye Singh a legend, woot *claps* Singh.

Yes that AV is a pain, that ambush once he dies can be a nightmare for the unprepared.

[/ QUOTE ]

And the caltrops. They're a pain.

I'm not a huge fan of health myself, and I think the slots would be better spent in tough. Although I actually have neither.

They're not for everyone. I personally don't enjoy them that much either. I don't think they're supposed to be super fun or anything, just more of a challenge.

[ QUOTE ]
I agree completely. Having recently levelled my Ice Tanker up from 1, I've yet to find myself in a team situation where I didn't feel that I was playing a useful and important role.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same here, while I'll never be able to tank like Spad and Silence used to in the good 'ole days, a tankers role is far from dead. I actually quite enjoy tanking, holding aggro is something I have to concentrate on, and it was nice levelling up in the Hollows and recieving compliments on my tanking.

The second column is correct, I checked Empath at level 49 and 50.

[ QUOTE ]
Dark Pit: Targetted AE disorientate. Sounds cool. Well, it ain't. Low duration, poor accuracy, hefty recharge and it only affects minions.

[/ QUOTE ]

Totally agree, I took this without bothering to find out anything about it. Really, really poor power.

You have to hit her.

[ QUOTE ]
They knew, and also admitted to Snow on PM that they had the badge. So it begs the question - "Why be such a p***k?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh. In that case whoever it was is a [censored] [censored] [censored].

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe they didn't see your broadcast?

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye, maybe they arrived after you broadcast in the hope they could finally find Sally, saw it and didn't want someone to come along and steal it?

Wow, grats man. Contender for the best ding ever?
