By the way, going by those interviews, staying in the gray area as a Vigilante/Rogue will be rather lonely, as you'll not have any SG access at all - so if you want to stay gray, then you'll need to be very selective about what you keep in your inventory

Personally, I like Bullet Rain better of the two. It seems to hit harder, and it does have a longer range. If you are choosing between the two, that would be my pick.
-
Well, personally I went with Snow Storm to bring fliers down into reach of Animate Stone, and because they can't run out of it; I figured Freezing Rain would make up for the lesser -def. It works fine, but I can see it going either way.
As for Thunder Clap, I took it and like it. -

That live-or die option seems aimed at heroic sidekicks, not villainous ones; heroes don't put people in deathtraps. I think that for villainous Sidekicks, when captured by the heroes the Die option should activate a clip of your Villain boss declaring "Your usefulness to me has ended!", tapping his arm like a Robotics Mastermind, and you explode into giblets. They can even reuse Doctor Creed's Anti-Infected Serum animation for it!

Honestly, I saw the 'visual sound effects' as one of the less convincing of the April Day Fool's. I don't remember too many people actually falling for it. Do you know someone who fell for that one?

Did it say the version is wrong? One Test server appears to be running a different version of the game than the other.

Quote:Well, that just means that you assume that it isn't a normal whip, or the user isn't a normal person. Make someone like Blacklash/Whiplash from Marvel comic (and Iron Man 2 of course) who used a powered whip that rips though steel and so forth. Or make someone who hits hard enough with his own strength to do that. Or it's a steel cable or impervium chain instead of a normal whip. And when you get right down to it, we already have Martial Arts, and bare hands are hardly realistic weapons to use on robots and walking boulders.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
A whip attack set I can see happening, moreso than a control set. Whips themselves dont make particularly good weapons. The Demons one only gets away with it cos...y'know...it's burning hellfire?
It's comicbookland! Embrace the unrealism! -
Quote:That reminds me of a character I came across during a Rikti invasion once; a female mind controller named Mind Control Womin.Originally Posted by Noxilicious
Every name that basically just lists your powersets and/or your AT.
My favorite is still Firekintroller with honourable mention for CONTROLLLER. I actually think he also had a little brother called DOMMINATOR.
Edit: Actually, the sad part about those two names is that they suggest there are actually toons named Controller and Dominator. -
Probably Dark, if for no other reason than it's so good and works with anything. "When in doubt, go for Dark Miasma" might as well be a motto for power choices.

Quote:Both are good. Fire/Storm matures sooner for solo work; Freezing Rain at 16, instead of Sleet at 35 being a prime reason.Originally Posted by pikkon15
Hmm how well does /cold work with fire and soloing? im prolly going to go with fire/cold or fire/storm

Every time someone mentions the Warriors, someone else refers to the movie, The Warriors,
Freakshow: "Warriors! Come out and plaaay!"
Freakshow don't even need to clank together bottles with their fingers. They've got hammers and blades to bang together instead! -
Quote:Probably. Arctic Air is a great power but quite the end hog.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
Think I took Arctic Air way too early and I'm suffering because of it slightly but post 22 he should be pretty tough.

Hey all,
My DP/NRG blaster is getting close to 40 so I'm starting to think what I wanna do next. I'm liking the blasting sets and wouldn't mind doing another but I'm pretty unexperienced with em. I was thinking of maybe Arch/ice blaster, how do these go?
What's your favorite blaster or corruptor powerset combos?
Fire/Dark is a classic, and very strong. Fire/Storm is also fun; more dramatic and if anything more destructive, if somewhat less survivable.
Ice/Storm is a thematic and powerful combo as well. -
"Rouge Lowbow". Longbow being such an obscure faction that it's easy to spell the name wrong...

Quote:Welcome back!Originally Posted by Sivitry
Hi all came back to this great game after being gone for a long long time, I can't shake the appeal of doms so I'm gonna make a go for it.
If you haven't heard, Doms got rebalanced fairly recently; mainly, the damage boost was removed from Domination and the basic damage of the AT boosted to make up for it. So, no more alternating between doing good damage and killing things by inches. /Psi was seriously gone over; Psychic Shockwave is quite a bit weaker now, while the rest of the set is stronger. TK Thrust is a strong attack now. Energy also did well in the rebalancing, and Power Push is also a strong attack now.
All of those are good choices. Mind/Energy is another good one for solo work; you can sleep whole groups with Mass Hypnosis and beat them down one at a time without waking the others. Or Mind/Elec for a nice 'Sith Lord' feel.Quote:Originally Posted by Sivitry
Right now I think Mind looks awesomely fun and (from what I've read) is a great set. I also think that Plant looks equally entertaining, and again looks like a really solid set from what I've seen. I enjoy the control aspect of a dom a lot however I want my secondary to be synergistic and do a lot of damage. As of now this character is mostly going to be a solo toon, for PVE. So the question is secondaries. I am open to any suggestions for secondaries that would meld with Plant or Mind as a primary and do a lot of damage right now the builds I'm thinking about are: Plant/Thorn, Plant/Fiery, Plant/Psi OR Mind/Fire, Mind/Psi, Mind/Thorn. -
Quote:I note that he registered 2005; he may have 2-3 veteran attacks, which helps a lot with low level damage on single targets; especially once you get Freezing Rain. You are right about Roots though. Another advantage of Roots is its -kb effect, something slotting it for immob won't effect. You want to spam it, for damage and -kb, not immob. I'd slot it for damage and endurance reduction.Originally Posted by MaxLongstreet
If, on the other hand, you're going to be soloing, this build looks ugly for damage at the lower levels, particularly pre-Creepers. I understand that with Seeds, you're not going to need to do tons of damage, but you will need to do some, and there ain't much here. Killing that last guy is going to take a LONG time if you're simply hitting unenhanced strangler over and over again. You've got Roots and Strangler, with no damage slots and nothing else to do harm with. In a solo Plant/Storm I think Roots is a serious damage power - it's a fast recharging AoE that makes it's own containment. You'll want to spam it for damage, so some damage slotting is important, at least eventually. You could also take entangle and respec out of it, or slot a bit for damage in Strangler - it all depends on your play style.

20 is a bit low; I'd have made it 30 or so. That said, I don't feel any particular anger over people having an easier time getting them than I did; after all, I've had access to them for a lot longer. I'm reminded of the people who get worked over CoV being bundled into CoH, "they can play it for free when I had to pay extra for it!" Yeah; years later.

Quote:It's my understanding that if you use procs in Freezing Rain, you should slot some accuracy into Rain because the proc will use the chance to hit and activate that Rain has before it applies the defense debuff.Originally Posted by Carnifax_NA
I've just thrown an Achilles into Fly Trap as well, but if I had the option I'd go for sticking it in Freezing Rain first (I'm currently playing a Plant/Emp so Bitey was the only place I could fit one).

Quote:Personally I'm rather hoping that endurance drain is NOT much of a feature of the set, since in practical terms for most builds that amounts to a low damage set with no useful secondary effect to make up for it.Originally Posted by ketch
I wouldn't be surprised to see a single target or AoE sleep in the set. There are a few sleeps present in the electric melee attacks already, and given the added control from endurance drain soft controls could help balance things out.
I also hope the Lightning Field is a part of the set. A source of constant end drain is almost necessary for sapping PVE enemies. -
What with the announcement of Electric Control and trying to think of a thematic combo for it, this popped into my head: how about a shiny metallic theme for Earth/Stone type powers? For one, it would make a good stand-in for "Metal Control"; and thematically, metal-looking versions of earth would go well with say Earth/Elec or Elec/Earth. Perhaps with "rough metal" and "polished metal" variants.

Though if GR beta starts "next week," I don't expect there to be much of an open beta, if any, for I17.

Neat. The moving tails look nice; hopefully the new animated player tails will too. And apparently they did go ahead and use the whip in the henchman enhancement animations - note the scene where she wraps her whip around a demon. So, we won't have to take a personal attack to see the whip.

Quote:Well; if she is going to be striking though the air with intangible force, how about Wind Talon or Storm Talon? That would fit both with the nature of her powers and with your other character. Or Far Talon, like the Far Fire bosses.Originally Posted by flashrains
Maybe. The existing one is called Silk Talon, though, so I'm trying for something like that - you know, in the style of Tsoo paper-mission-boss names.
