Garent

For area damage on a storm/psi you'll want to rely on procs in the area attacks instead of enhancing your damage since the base damage of roots and freezing rain is pretty low. I don't have experience with plant control, so this build isn't the best, but it should give the basic idea.

Use hurricane. Everything else will fall into place on its own.

For the people complaining about pvp badge griefers: If you aren't strong enough to fight off the people trying to kill you, you don't deserve the badge.

I'm cool with pyramids up until they give my browser a horizontal scroll bar. Then I get upset.

I thought the last tournament with multiple level ranges was fun. I'll probably go.

They're probably using power boost or power build up. It's a power in epic pools for controllers and defenders respectively.

You mean power sets?

Once you make that mission with only AVs, I'm making you fight against my enemy group that's made up of nothing but nemesis lieutenants and malta sappers.

[ QUOTE ]
5. Well, at one time I would have boasted that storm defenders were KING, then they nerfed the hurricane.

[/ QUOTE ]
Storm summoning is still good in pvp. I was part of the winning team in the last PvPEC 2v2 on Pinnacle with my storm/sonic.

[ QUOTE ]
While Demon Summoning was going to be for MM only seeing how they haven't had a new power pool since thugs(I think it was thugs), It has been brought to my eye that this power pool may be granted to controllers as well, thus why I listed both.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's ridiculous.

Psh. Do a mission with only AVs and then we'll talk.

Follow up in a ranged set? That's work some unique-ness points right there.

If you were expecting otherwise, you're on the wrong server forums.

[ QUOTE ]
you missed the PL extravaganza that was Mission Arch un censored

[/ QUOTE ]
Also Known As quadruple XP month.

New Power: Demon Summoning (Master Minds/ Controllers)

Lie.

You missed the quadruple XP month.

Did you know you get a pop-up box if you click the green level up arrow?

[/ QUOTE ]

o.0

whats it say?

[/ QUOTE ]

Something like "You've leveled up. Go see a trainer such as Ms. Liberty to focus your abilities"

Right AFTER I get my dominator to level 50. -_-
Worst. Character. Ever. But it'll own so much once I finish the über recharge build and the buff goes through.

Did you know you get a pop-up box if you click the green level up arrow?

[ QUOTE ]
Is that duel pistols I see? I wonder how many people are going to make Lara Croft, Trinity, Neo, and other various duel pistol wielding characters once the issue comes out?

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm totally making Aya Brea from Parasite Eve. Not that she ever used two pistols as far as I remember, but still.

I'm more interested in the guy.

...

Because he has a pistol!

No, slows don't make any significant difference unless you have a whole lot of them like cold dominator characters do. Also, snow storm will be shut off the moment you get hit with a mez, which is a real problem. It's not worth the time applying it.

I'm scared. Sometimes I just don't want to have to deal with masterminds.

Building for status protection isn't very viable as far as builds go. I'd suggest taking advantage of hurricane's debuff and defense buffing in order to help you dodge status effects, use an aegis global to reduce the duration with minimal slot investment, and take advantage of hp bonuses to help ride out mezzes.

Lightning storm inherits the ability to proc from you, so what happens is that each of its thunderbolts has a chance to proc.
As for tornado, I hear that it's bugged and will only roll a proc chance when it's first summoned, but I've never verified it.
