New Dawn

Pain, Poison and Empathy need some buffin wuvvin.

I thought KM was built in such a way that the dam per animation and endurance of every attack was well balanced. Power choices are to taste. I would probably add fight pool, haste, flight, fill the kb hole up with slots rather than additional toggles.

I'll be more forecoming on why I am slightly annoyed. I play all them powersets getting a buff but at the same time I play all the other powersets not getting a buff.

It maybe a good buff for people with bad eyesight who struggle with reading the icons next to peoples names; lazy people or people with a concept this buff works for etc but I see it as a nerf in the value of the other sets not getting a buff of equal value.

Sonic I have long thought lacked something and with Kins ID that was a funless chore to proactively keep going but the rest of it doesn't "need" a change. If other powersets get a buff of equal value then I got less to gripe about, I dislike getting on one toon I fancy having fun with one day and having someone ask me to get that other toon I got for easy mode.

I'm definitely rating this game for 3 year olds now.

There is painfully hard and then there is painfully easy.

Now I just think favourable powersets for speed, ganking and spanking are just going to be even more favourable.

I think there is no need to carry on with the thread derail. Time to kiss and make up. There are far worse things going on in the real world. Slainsteels entitled to an opinion and so is everybody else. I'd love to hear Slainsteels opinion on Stalkers in speed teams but thats for an entirely different section.

I'd much rather all my Tankers play differently so I am not one for getting them all soft capped to s/l or positions. I like to actively do something to acquire survivability which is why in this case I'd powersink and then use lightning field to prevent end recovery. Frankenslot end mod to taste depending on ya secondary.

You have come across ATist and without the intention of killing the thread some people may find that supremacist. I find speed teams that don't quite offer a pregiven win mode more rewarding when somehow they actually do exceed expectations and its important in my mind to be seen as more than a one trick pwny. Like I think, win mode a team and any newbie can get through on the back of it.

LR can not fly, his maximum range is 110 ft, your confront can exceed that range and if you fly you limit LR by his travel powers. You would have to consolidate aggro by having good taunt duration, you should have confront recharged and reused before every taunt duration wears out. Any scrappers would have to have their taunt auras + other auras turned off. The technique can fail with gauntleting ATs in the team such as Brutes and Tanks. Your threat level is reduced by your range so Confront would have to be well slotted, these slots could be better used somewhere else in the build because 99.9% of the game might require it so, but the choice is yours.

VEATs are for me the best thought out AT that probably have an answer for almost everything.

I can't say anything about SR vs Freedom Phalanx, I've never done it.

I feel that rather than seek ATs in particular (and I admit it would take one helluva skilled MM in my mind (not necessarily true) to be of competitive value to a speed team), ask for speed based toons to go on the speed runs. I'll be respecing in Superspeed on my Inv/SS (I still got to drop Legacy Fitness) to get ahead because running upto Cysts it can be helpful to the performance of the other sets if aggro is consolidated.

I am not with selecting people because of their AT as I barely, barely ever see in my life proper aggro management from someone on a Brute. There is usually something they're not doing right thats compromising the performance of someone else. I'd liked to see the tankers tier ones accuracy increased now to decrease that gap of value in speed teams but the Devs might look at speed teams as something too small a population do to be too high on the list.

I'm now wondering how wrong would it be if Tanker tier 1 was in PvE, autohit?

If it were upto me, then adding to Cosmic Balance:

Dwarf form would get 3% melee def for every blaster, dominator, stalker in team.

Nova form would get 3% ranged def for every blaster, dominator, stalker in team.

Human form would get 3% aoe def for every blaster, dominator, stalker in team.

I thought it practical but you would still have non khelds in team appreciating the fact that they're receiving buffs more than giving them and so maybe, like VEATs more.

If in soloing an AV/tricky mob with massive AoE output, it might for the sake of lowering the fight duration, be worth stacking as many mines as possible in one spot/area and then pull to them to initiate the fight. I tend to do this as a blaster but I don't use them much as an MM, truth be told:

Enemy -----Mines+Caltrops-Me(100ft+ run back and run in)

It can practically make the mines to go off at the right time because they'll only go off if you are close to them.

I have confront on my Widow, if I teamed pvped it would be good as I resist taunt. If I was playing in PvE then I could potentially save a friend far away as it still beats travel, tohit chance and most threat levels. Its still perfectly balanced to Tanks, Scrappers and Brutes in that if I wanted to taunt control Statesman and live to tell about it with practically any team make up I still could. So for me its a must pick as it offers me the kind of flexibility I like. In answer to your question, no it doesn't from what I can tell, but really it doesn't need to, it doesn't make much of a blind bit of difference as its only single target for a start.

Sounds like a good idea.

If you PvP then I would consider more Kb protection.

My Sonic/Sonic throws a lot of -res about. I still find AV fights quite long and GM fights.. I have to try and stay awake.

Points taken thanks. I did this to the build:

Still avoiding expensive stuff and keeping concept.

I wanted to make a Plant control/Archery Dominator recently.

I now know that there is no chance of Blasters getting MA and probably therefore no chance for Dual Blades, Katana and so on because some Devs just don't see it.

Customer is always right about what they'd like to see to keep keen imo.

They should let polls decide on what people want most next.

FA wouldn't of been in my list for handling end drain. If you worry about endurance perhaps make an Elec/Kin anyway, there's not enough of them about. People have been known to describe Dark as end heavy but its all in the slotting.
