  1. I may well bring my illusion controller along but can't say for sure until nearer the time.

    Midnight Grasp is a must at later levels to give a really high damage output with your other attacks in your chain. It also holds, so very nicce little power.

    Just for the record, it's an immobilize not a hold, meaning the mob will be able to attack you but not move.
  3. I agree on Shockwave. If you're running either Opp. Gloom (which you are) or Cloak of Fear, you want to keep stuff near not knock them back.

    I'm not sure the slots in Cloak of Darkness are worth it as it only has a low base defense buff.

    You might find you have trouble using Aid Self while running OG, especially if you are fighting multiple opponents. An interrupt reduction or 2 may help.

    Burn used to, and it was taken out, I don't believe FoN ever did, although that doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good power.

    The status protection on Foce of Nature was removed while the Epic powers were still on test. It has never had status protection on the live servers.
  5. I only put it on auto when fighting AVs/GMs/Heroes and that's more for the -regen than anything else.
  6. Regarding Fiery Aura, the only real complaint I have with it is Healing Flames which is probably the worst self heal in the game. If I had the power slots I would have taken Aid Self instead.
  7. Cheers for the team, it didn't take too long and I cleared a ton of debt. I told you he would be next

    Shame for Gravi Lax

    Cheers

  8. Which zone were you planning to hunt in?

    GM Take Down

    I missed this one but if anyone is running another I would be interested
  10. I'm still looking for these on my main and Friday would be good for me. May be able to convince some of my SG to turn up too.

    Best solo Def?

    Psi is great until you go up against robots and zombies

    I find the lack of an Aim-type power can be a hinderance sometimes but, like you say, the added control is very nice

    Go Sonic Blast, I've found the stacking -res to be really useful.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I would agree with that. My Rad/Sonic kills stuff pretty quickly, especially when using Total Focus on something with stacked -Res.
  13. I tend to go for Lts rather than bosses and minions and I usually pick ones towards the back of the group. Don't just put it on the first target you select as the will most likely be the one most people will attack.

    You could try a bind saying something like "<X> is my anchor. Please leacve it until last" but I've found it easier to just get used to reapplying your toggles often.
  14. I took Flash late on to help with containment for Fireball from the epic pool as I found Deceive much more useful at lower levels.
  15. You are quite right, clicking a glowie completely removes the stealth. That can't be WAI. Hmmm.
  16. I just tested this with my level 50 Ill/FF controller. I used Group Invis and stood next to a level 50 Possessed Scientist Lt who didnt attack. I ran to the next group and defeated a minion, waited 10 seconds then ran back. I still did not get attacked. I had no other toggles/powers running.

    Regen Killing

    Does the -recharge of web grenade stack with itself? I expect not (same power and caster and all that).

    Oh and big automatic pistols and a bow? Doesn't work for me.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Who needs pistols when you have a bow that can do so much
  19. I have a level 31 Thugs/TA MM. It's quite a fun combo and very effective in teams as well as solo. I'm looking forward to getting Oil Slick at 35 to see what my arsonist makes of it
  20. Fury builds whether your attack hits or not.

    To quote Geko from some time ago (CoV beta I think):

    [ QUOTE ]
    Each time you click attack or are attacked, your Fury will increase (Click AoE and PBAoE attacked do not count more than a single target click attack).

    Each time a foe attacks you, you gain some Fury.

    It does not matter if you hit or do damage. It does not matter if your foe hits you or does damage to you. ItÂ’s purely based on directed attacks.

    Dropped entities, like a Burn Patch or ice slick, do not add to your Fury.

    Your Toggle Auras do not add to your Fury (no matter if they are damage or debuff). Currently, enemy toggle, auto powers and dropped entities (like enemy blazing aura, Ice storms, fire or burn patches) DO add to your Fury. This is NOT supposed to happen and will be fixed.

    What does Fury do?

    The more Fury you have (indicated by the Bar under your endurance bar), the more damage you do. Fury multiplies your base damage up to 3 times your base damage when your bar is full.
    The more Fury you have, the harder it is to gain Fury (as your Fury rate increases, each attack is worth less, so you have to work harder to maintain max fury).
    Fury decays at a constant, steady rate.
    When you are fighting a Boss or higher rank foe, you will gain Fury at a faster rate (twice as fast). If you are fighting an Arch Villain, giant monster (or equivalent) or player, you will gain Fury even faster (3 times as fast). This can go up to 4 times as fast with multiple high ranked foes (say 3 bosses, or an AV and a Boss).

  21. I only made it for the first Lusca as the SG had some pre-arrenged AV bashing to do but it was good fun. 7 team members went splat to the first tentacle but it was smooth sailing after that

    I currently run 3 Recharge/3 End Mod which allows me to slot my attacks aggresively (acc/dmg/recarge rather than end reductions) as I get bored doing the taunt bot thing.
