Haven't PvP'd much with mine yet so can't comment on that side of things, but I must say that you've made an excellent coice.
The only bad thing about ice/elec is the fact that you'll be kinda low on endurance until L35 and power sink, but it's manageable, not that much worse than most other blasters.
You may also struggle with higher than even level bosses before getting your third hold at L38 because of the reduced durations of FR and BFR, but if you get the geas of the kind ones accolade you'll be able to perma-hold a +2 boss with freeze ray, and the accolade should be up just about once for mission, making it very nice for the end bosses.

Powers to get ASAP:
Ice Bolt
Ice Blast
Charged Brawl
Freeze Ray
Either Aim or BU, don't need both too soon
Havoc Punch
Stamina
Bitter Ice Blast
Bitter Freeze Ray
Thunder Strike
Power Sink
Shocking Grasp.

Most planners have old values, AFAIK Sherk Silver's CoH/CoV builder is the only one that has mostly accurate data.

ok cool thanks very much!

quick question on dull pain, should i 6 slot it 3 recharge red, 3 health? Can i get it perma?? thnx

[/ QUOTE ]Can't get perma, but with 3-slotted hasten it's up most the time, and yes, 3/3 rech/heal is the usual slotting.

Yeah, seeing as it reports correct numbers for 99.9% of powers.

I'm using some bind files to change keybinds when changing human/dwarf forms, as well as having macros for the power tray changes.

[ QUOTE ]
I think you're right Max. The Electric Melee set in particular could be immense. If Elec Armour is just a variation of EA though I think it will be a much smaller uptake.

[/ QUOTE ]I doubt It'll be EA variation, it will most likely have at least a damage aura, and be RES based... (basing that on the current powers we have).

What's the base +RES of MoG then? Because my hero planner shows it as 40%, which would mean it couldnt cap the RES even with three SO's...

[ QUOTE ]
DON'T get to attached to Blasters cuase i have a lvl 33 Fire/Fire Blaster i had to give up cause he got to much debt so what i'm saying is taht Blasters get A LOT of debt....



[/ QUOTE ]Debt is no reason to delete a character, and is usually good thing, as it increases the amount of content you get to see per level as well as your inf/xp ratio.

[ QUOTE ]
/Invul using Unstoppable (which they can't use often).


[/ QUOTE ]Unstoppable is up half the time with 3 rechargers and hasten.

[ QUOTE ]
Some form of endurance management has always been needed, earlier you could get away theoretically by 6-slotting stamina but I had end reduxes on my toggles even back then...

[/ QUOTE ]But did you have them in your attacks as well? Seeing as 5 damage isn't efficient anymore you can put 1-2 EndReducers in your attacks, as well as your toggles, which, when combined with the 13% global END reduction, should make you actually spend less endurance than pre-ED.

Mind for most control, and the best AoE attack from controller primaries, plus it has mass confusion, which is just pure awesomeness.. For secondary... something that has multiple powers you can skip, maybe FF or TA.

I have RPD + Uny + TI, Uny and TI are 6 slotted with lvl 50++ Resdam enh and RPD I believe has 3 50++ enhancements. Is that not enough to hit the lvl 90 cap?

[/ QUOTE ]The difference between that and them all being 3-slotted is only 3.2%, so nope, and it's a waste of slots as well (unless you have tough, in which case the 3% will decrease incoming damage quite a lot... at least if the RES cap is 95%, can never remember if it's that or 90%)

[/ QUOTE ]

So basically I am going to have to respec my tank to get tough - which will kill me on end.

It makes sense though because I used him once on a pocket d miss and I saw my health go into yellow facing council

[/ QUOTE ]But due to ED you will be able to add END reducers.

[ QUOTE ]

Anyway, looks like a cool powerset. I foresee millions of Thug MM's popping up on launch-day, only for 90% of them to go back to their previously established characters within a week or two when the new powerset isn't so interesting anymore...

[/ QUOTE ]*Cough*I5*Cough*

Although I do think elec brutes and thug MM's might be a bit more popular in the long run that arrows and sonics.

[ QUOTE ]
Assault riffle I think has about a 10% acc bonus and also different attacks have different affects;


[/ QUOTE ]5%

I'd say drop one power (I'd go with repel), so you'll be able to get three powers from acnillary pools, as there are some really useful stuff there.

Psi:
Domination - Very useful single-target hold, decent damage
Mind Over Body - One of the very few psi resist powers in game, and gives quite nice resistance
Telekinesis - Fantastic power, tollge AoE hold and repel.

Elec:
Thunder Strike - Very nice damage, and the knockback can help survivability
Charged Armor - Very nice S/L/E RES
Power Sink - Good END drain/recovery power

Power:
Conserve Power - With this, stamina and transfusion, END is no longer an issue.
Power Build Up - Very useful due to doubling all secondary effects as well as giving damage and ToHit buff.
Temp. Invul. - Only gives S/L resistance, still useful though
Total Focus - Long-ish recharge but that's not such an issue with kin, very nice damage and stun.

Dark:
Opressive gloom - decent stunner, but hard to keep multiple enemies affected.
Dark Consumption - long-ish recharge but otherwise good END recovery move.
Dark Embrace - Very nice S/L/N/T RES shield
Sould Drain - This+fulcrum shift on a decent sized group=damage cap and very high accuracy.

[ QUOTE ]

My solution: increase base damage by 12.5% (before enhancments). Reduce the damage buff from domination from +75% to +50%.

[/ QUOTE ]Isn't domination supposed to be 25-50% depending on power?

Another Ice/NRG? *sigh*, you misguided poor people...

[ QUOTE ]
Had a laugh last night kicking Luscas [censored] (if he has one?) excellent team, well done and thanks to everyone who helped out!

[/ QUOTE ]Lusca is a she

Siphon speed can be stacked 3 times if you also have hasten, and in such case brings you to the speed cap and gives you very nice recharge times.

Inertial reduction, Take it and superspeed, it gives you the vertical movement SS lacks.

Maneuvers is crud, pick assault as a per-requisite instead if you need tactics.

Don't take the medicine pool, you're much better off with some other powers.

Torrent... I wouldnt pick it, I'd rather take blackstar as seeing that you're a kin, the recharge time wont be that bad and with fulcrum shift you can get near the damage cap, wiping out minions with one shot and taking lt's to low health.

Moonbeam, It was fairly useful at low levels with my empath, but I 'specced it out later due to having more stuff to do at higher levels.

Life drain, never, EVER pick it, totally crappy power.

as the "buff" in I7 is supposed to help MMs in pvp i would like to see the ability to upgrade all pets instantly instead of going through each one individually, in a pentad arena match it wud be near impossible to get all pets upgraded and ready for fighting

[/ QUOTE ] Id think it might be "Pets Start Fully Upgraded" would make more sense in that way, wouldn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]Too overpowered, WAY too overpowered.

Looks like thugs MMs get dual-wield powers... makes sense if the henchies get them

Oh, and the wtfwarwitch: bet it's in Recluse's Victory.

[/ QUOTE ]Nope, grandville, and fighting alongside villains.

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm to my likings I'd switch Frost and Air Superiority around.

[/ QUOTE ]Only put them that way because the planner still has frost as L10 power and coulnt be bothered to manually edit
