Most enemy groups do at least some E/N/F/C damage, so resistance to those types is definately useful. However, REN and REL dont give too big a bonus, so i wouldnt pick them unless you dont have something useful to take.

It's less than scrappers without fury, around 70-80% i think, but a brute without fury is a badly played brute.

Dispersion, definately.

Damage.

Force Bolt - Very useful for knockback, can nkeep one target down permanently

Deflection and Insulation shields - Nice slotted, and stack with other defences, very nice powers.

Detention field - Good for keeping boss/AC out of fight while dealing wioth minions

PFF - Take it, love it, nearly as good as phase shift

Dispersion Bubble - Do i neeed even say? Take it, put it on, and never shut it down.

Repulsion Field - Can be used to keep few enemies down if you get them positioned right, but i dont personally like it too much.

Repulsion Bomb - Nice stun, can be useful with certain team makeups

Force Bubble - Very nice power for both PvE and PvP, the repel effect is very good for keeping you safe.

Yes, it gives protection from all status effects.
Also, you may still need the accuracy, either to hit something with defence buffs, or if your recharge gets slowed so you wont have perma rage.

NB - for safetys sake i always launch Power Boost BEFORE AIm and buildup. Thats how i first heard how to use it and stand by that



[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, that's how it would work, using it after them shouldnt have any effect.

Drop 4th EndMod in stamina and the recharge in TI, give invincibility some ToHit buffs after the 3 def, and possibly put 1 ACC in each attack.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok... So just to clarify

Zombie,GraveKnight and Lich = 6 slots each (total 18)
Fearsome Stare = 6 slots
Twilight Grasp = 5 slots
Tar Patch = 3 slots
Pet Gaze = 5 slots

- Should i slot Gloom?

[/ QUOTE ]Gloomj is just about the last power to slot, make sure you have enough in everything else before sticking slots to it.

All enhancements that you can put in them should affect the henches themselves, the reason why recharge was removed from them was because they coulnt make it affect pet powers, so it would've only affected the summoning power and caused confusion.

[ QUOTE ]

I have Gloom and I'm actually thinking Dark Blast would be better as it's quicker recharge so the -accuracy debuff would be more frequent.

[/ QUOTE ]The debuff doesnt stack from one power and one user, and you can already perma-debuff with gloom.

[ QUOTE ]
(imagine more but weaker minions)

[/ QUOTE ]Not going to happen as the current pets already cause performance issues.

Drop life drain for petrifying gaze, and dark blast for gloom (It's better).
Drop one of the fitness powers you have and take stamina instead, it's VERY helpful for /dark.
Also take darkest night at 35 as it's VERY good debuff.
6-slot fearsome stare with 1 ACC, 3 fear and 2 recharge.
4 or 5 slots in twilight grasp, 3 heals and 1 or 2 ACC.
Shadow fall can use RES but dont bother with DEF as it only gives 2,5%
Tar patch, 3 rechargers is a must, possibly 1 slow.
Petrifying gaze at least 1 ACC, then up to 3 holds and maybe 1 rech.
For your L32 upgrade, 3 rechargers and maybe one END reducer.

I'm trying to find somewhere to shoehorn in Telekinetic Thrust, but I might just stick with using Telekinesis, although it's not quite as effective.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe not if you only are looking at the repel, but TK is definately 100 times as useful as TK Thrust.
(Hint, It's your second AoE hold)

[ QUOTE ]

Is there any limit to the numbers who can join a TC channel?

[/ QUOTE ]There is aparently a limit, but that's very high. Also, i think you can only be logged on 5 channels at a time.

[ QUOTE ]
Not from the Rangers base tho! Full sg...not even Scrapapocalypse could go 7 to 1!

[/ QUOTE ]But the amount of base defenders is limited

Anything that makes me not die in one hit is great

Somehow I feel this is going to be a disaster....

But I'll be there

Robots for MM's is the most damaging primary due to it's AoE's. However, for best survivability (maybe not highers HP but that's not everything there is to it), Zombies are the best choice IMO.

And yes, there are very big differences with some primaries and secondaries.

Granite is the toughest thing in the game, and can still get pretty close to RES cap (for tanks at least) even Post-ED.

[/ QUOTE ]
So can Unstoppable, only differnce being those lucky Stoners get it as a toggle

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, unstoppable is great, but stoners win in overall defence because granite is a toggle and because they have the regen from rooted.

Granite is the toughest thing in the game, and can still get pretty close to RES cap (for tanks at least) even Post-ED.

Not to flares, there arent really many powers you can pick that are worse IMO.

Yeah, the portals should be fixed, and the whole oranbegan map set should be redesigned with MM's and escorts in mind. We ran across a mision today that couldn't be completed because the (non-teleportable) hostage got to the lowest part of a big room where no pet (or player without vertical travel power) can get out of.

[ QUOTE ]
I don't want a survival MM, whatever that is, but it'd be nice if my ninja could live for more than two seconds against simple minions.

[/ QUOTE ]That's just about what I meant with a survival MM, trick arrow isn't really a good defensive set so if you want to increase your pets expectable life span you'd be better off with the other secondaries.
Of course, if you want to keep it for thematical reasons, you can propably keep them alive with tactics similiar to what Jacqueline detailed.

If you want a survival MM, drop trick arrow and remake her with either dark or FF secondary, heck, even poison or traps would be better.
