You're a blaster, you don't need defence, you need offence. IMO focus on getting as much offensive power as possible, only taking the epic shield as defence.

Dominators are horrible AT for slotting, the need about 10% more slots than they get

6-slot:
Throw Spines
Spine Burst
Ripper
With 1 acc, 3 dam, 1 rech and 1 end.

That, for PvE of course, PvP I'll leave to Chives

am I the only one who doesn't like howlight twilight? I keep hearing how good it is but imo it's not as nice as transferance and the heal takes so long to actually hit I die alot because of it (slow animation time). Nice that it debuffs acc thoguh. I really do like the rest of the set so far thgouh .

[/ QUOTE ]Howling twilight is the AoE rez, which people like very much. Twilight grasp is the heal, some like it, some don't. IMO It's great for solo, but for team healing it's not too good unless the team is locked in melee.

Slot fire blast, don't take burn and hot feet, they're crap.

i couldnt answer that without testing but you saved me the bother, ive had weird moments where i can see the stalker but still havent been able to, have you had this problem?

[/ QUOTE ]Able to what, target him? If so, that would be the stalker using placate on you.

[ QUOTE ]
Go trick arrow and never regret a power choice!

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, just regret taking the gimpiest set in the game

[ QUOTE ]
You can make /Dark controllers,

I don't think any of the Defender primaries are unique - they're all also controller secondaries (Unless I've missed something obvious).


[/ QUOTE ]You can NOT make a controller with Dark Miasma, all other sets you can use though. Dark miasma is pretty much only defender I'd consider rolling nowdays... :/ Well, storm too.

FF/NRG used to be great as offender, nowdays I'd only recommend it if you like knockback (It's still the best char for that, and great fun with the right build, you just need to learn HOW to use knockback for it to be good instead of bad).

Web Grenade - Useful in PvP, and to bring down flying foes in PvE
Triage Beacon - Only take if you have nothing good to get
Force Field Generator- Very nice power, take it, slot it, love it.
Poison trap - I hear it's great, not seen it used much.
Seeker drones - They can be useful, don't have too good AI though.
Detonator - Haven't seen this one in action.

Or Power Build Up

[/ QUOTE ]Doesn't give big enough boost IMO

[ QUOTE ]

On another quick thought , any Empaths here taken the "Dark Nova" type attack at 38? I teamed with another Dark defender last night who had it but was a bit reluctant to use it understandably i thought

[/ QUOTE ]It's not really worth it anymore, I'm just keeping it for old time's sake.

Good if you team with a kin though, or take dark mastery and soul drain.

[ QUOTE ]

Nearly maximum AoE damage and range in this build, the only thing I wish I could fit in for PvE (PvP too) would be Quills, I can't fit it anywhere!


[/ QUOTE ]No Quills? But what use is the AoE damage if you can't herd?

</pre><hr /> Reconstruction is taken a bit late, you might want to take it earlier and drop fitness pool for later, I didn't feel the need for that.

[ QUOTE ]
A more organised start than ours!



[/ QUOTE ]That's defiant, we see what onion does, take the best parts of it and learn from their mistakes, and create it all in a neat refined form

[ QUOTE ]
If that was true why do blasters not have it in their primary/secondary?

[/ QUOTE ]Then nobody would be bothered with the fire epic and RotP

[ QUOTE ]

Pool: Fitness
Health - sleep resistance



[/ QUOTE ]Remember though that resistance means the effect wont last as long, you will still get slept with it.

Emp/dark here, went with psi as the holds tremendously increase soloability, and are very useful for hammy raids as well.

Put at least two, if not three ACC in your T1 and T2 henches.

Fearsome stare is a great ToHit debuff though, I'd keep it just for that.

[ QUOTE ]

As for the name of the SGs, 'Asylum of...' sounds nice, or the one I thought of was 'Horde of....'

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, after all we havve plenty of insane heroes too, no need to go confusing people

[ QUOTE ]

Oh, and while I'm here... anyone interested in a global chat channel for the coalition? I realise the coalition chat is already pretty handy, but I'm thinking that since some of us play on Union or CoV, and I think everyone so far has their mains in other SGs, it might be useful? I know the one Syn and I have for our SG on Union is really handy, both for general chat and for shouts for help when everyone's off playing villains and you need a hand on the other side.

[/ QUOTE ]Was going to ask about that as well, would be useful for new members contacting inviters too. I'll look into setting it up later today.

[That crystal thing is darkcolored standing thing, that once you get close it spawns a huge ammount of floating blobs. By the huge gangbang this group can do, often such crystal results in a complete team-wipe.


[/ QUOTE ]

... Reason why people avoid teaming with Kheldians, as long as having to mind the void/quantums. Prolly being so hard finding teams is what prevents people from playing their khelds till 50

[/ QUOTE ]Voids and quantums are never a threat to the teams really, and neither are nictus dwarfs/novas. However, the crystals are nasty for inexperienced players.

I use animation shop pro (comes bundled with paint shop pro).

To get it on the forums, first upload it to site such as http://www.imageshack.us, then set the URL from there in the avatar space on your forum settings.

Should be able to handle out invites most of today, also, other invite-able members:
@Cynic/@Cynical (All 5 SG's)
@Tylantia (Defenders and Scrappers).
@Coin (blasters)

And... Rad as a healing set?

[/ QUOTE ]Defensive set, not healing

[ QUOTE ]
It's done now

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the one Lady Darkforce has set up yeah?

[/ QUOTE ]LDF was busy, we agreed that I could set it up
