Some people do, myself I find I'm hitting well enough with 1 acc.

Get drain psyche for sure, that's great for giving you END boost when required. Other great powers are psychic shockwave, subdue and TK thrust, but pretty much every power in the set apart for mental blast is good.

For grav, the hold, the AoE hold, wormhole and singularity are a must, and other powers are not bad either.

Well, as a corruptor you aren't all about damage, the buff/debuff side brings some new elements into it...

IF you go with /kin, you'll be speed boosting people every 90 secs (or bugged about it if you don't). People will propably also expect you to free them from mezzes if you have ID, and propably ask a IR from time to time. Kin has the advantage of no end problems post-35, nice DMG boosts (to you and your allies), and the fastest recharge times of any single character (hasten+triple stacked siphon speed).

You'll propably also be using your rain and blizzard a lot, seeing as with I7 they'll become buffable, and what better buff is there than fulcrum shift.

Boy, I love whipping out a rocket launcher troop just to launch Darth Vader over the edge on the Bespin level...

but that was when I was on consoles.


[/ QUOTE ]Battleground is available for PC as well... (Unless I'm totally confusing it with something else)

I'd go for a serious villain , but since you are for some reason unable to kill pedestrians,blow up buildings, take over the world,or even keep what you steal....id say having a stupid villain would explain alot

Thats a bloody good point. Hello Cryptic???!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]Hello I7 and mayhem missions

I'm a Newbie and am Grav / Psi, of course I read up about it after I started... Still going though.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, any combo is good really, you can't gimp yourself badly with your choice of powersets in this game.

Invidual power choices are a different thing of course

what about bitter ice ray instead of frezzing touch? a ranged hold is def better than a melee IMO


[/ QUOTE ]not when the ranged one has 4 second activation time...

[/ QUOTE ]

ANd combined with super speed, you can get in and out to another ranged position fast, if you queue Freezing touch as you start to run towards the taget. It'll actually activate once you've made it a fair enough distance past them. Of course you need to be aware of any surrounding mobs first

[/ QUOTE ]...or you could just stay in melee and blap away

Is it true States and Arachnos will be in that new PvP zone as a sort of raid encounter?

Maybe another urban myth..

[/ QUOTE ]Myth, not heard it anywhere before and I'm 99% sure there is no official confirmation for any such thing.

Any suggestions/opinions?

That depends on what you're fighting. However, most people put 4-6 slots in their attack powers, 1/2 ACC, 3 damage, 0-2 RechRdx, 0-2 EndRdx.

Get siphon speed, really. Not for the +spd, but for the +rech, with hasten and three recharge SO's in siphon you can triple stack siphon, giving you the highest recharge times archievable by a single character.

[ QUOTE ]
am I like the only person who rarely ever uses more than one damage SO in anyhting? :P (exception ebing aoe/nukes).

[/ QUOTE ]Propably, seeing as 3 damage SO's is the most efficient slotting.

Fire Melee might not be the best single-target killer, but it does the job decently.

[ QUOTE ]

but in a zone where there's an innate -50% accuracy debuff

[/ QUOTE ]Actually, players just have 25% defence buff

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
If they con higher than their level does that give or mean that they have any advantage based on their con color, like LTs. Or is it purely their colors?

If I'm a scrapper stalking an MM with those con color minions shoul;d I be treating them as their actual levels or as their con levels?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lt's only con a different colour to represent the higher threat than a minion, same goes for bosses. They don't get level bonus on top of their rank bonus.

[/ QUOTE ]They however do get a bonus to accuracy, although I can't remember offhand how it compares to +1 minion.

It will not affect burn before the fix to LBAoE's and player buffs in I7.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's what I meant to say.

[/ QUOTE ] Sureee it was

[ QUOTE ]
running at full Fury with Build Up, Fiery Embrace and Forge (Thermal ftw), Energy Transfer can turn out about 1K damage on a boss (a Tsoo boss, for the sake of reference) - and it'll still affect Blazing Aura (and Burn if you have it) for the full 20s duration.

[/ QUOTE ]It will not affect burn before the fix to LBAoE's and player buffs in I7.

Equip robot is fine with one EndRdx, upgrade with 3 rech 1/2 EndRdx, stick those slots in seeker drones, acid mortar and tactics.

PBU is double the recharge of PB, but then again PBU is BU and PB combined.

[ QUOTE ]
Does it also increase their base health regen?

[/ QUOTE ]Nope, unless they had a passive +regen power, which AFAIK none of them do.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
What enemies have got high defence that I can test this on? Rikti drones spring to mind.

[/ QUOTE ]

Vengeanced Nemesis?

[/ QUOTE ]MoGged PP's?

In General, all debuffs from different powers used by same source, same powers used by different sources, and different powers from different sources stack. However, debuffs from same power and same source do not. There are few exceptions, and also things like tar patch and freezing rain stack with themselves as the multiple summons count as different sources.

[ QUOTE ]
Illusion by far. They contribute the most even if you are busy healing.
Spectral terror, phantom army and phantasm. They each add something and it wont take your time.

[/ QUOTE ]

What he said. With Power Boost from the Primal Forces epic you can even heal more than empathy defenders.

[/ QUOTE ]But defenders can get power build up, which puts them higher than power boosted controller
