I assume they mean the level 47 power, Psychic Tornado?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yep. Skip the lvl 41 one. No good.

Accel,

Should be on tonight and tomorrow night. Can gladly help with T, or one of the others if needed.

And here's another gratz, well done!

And gratz to Cat on the Portal Jockey

The main difference is that in PvP zones players have a 25% bonus to base defence. So people usually slot normal attacks with 2 accuracies and often run Tactics alongside to make sure they hit. Controller AoE holds which have an accuracy penalty would definitely need 3 accuracies and/or Tactics to hit reliably.

Well if a single team could take down Hami in a few minutes, I'm sure people would not try to solo him (it?) for 2+ hours . Well except for Raz of course

Knockdown doesn't set up Containment.
N00b.

[/ QUOTE ]

ermmm... yeah... make that immob

[ QUOTE ]
So, should I get crushing field pre-41+ or repel pre-41+ (this would be around lvl30).


[/ QUOTE ]
Crushing field.

[ QUOTE ]
Is the accuracy lower then normal?


[/ QUOTE ]
No, but since you will be facing higher-level foes, you'll probably need a couple of acc enhances.

I know FT is available before FA, that doesn't mean you have to take them in that order I took FT at 38 on my blaster (and skipped FA). It also depends on how many powers you take from your Epics (not many people take all 4).

[ QUOTE ]
I will respec it back because I have a feeling it'll rock with 4/5 slots in, only had 2 I think before!


[/ QUOTE ]
OK, don't say we didn't warn you . I would suggest taking Freezing Touch before Frozen Aura unless you plan to solo (and even then!). IMO a group sleep with low accuracy is not the most useful in high-level teams, but let's see what you think of it. Now if this were your controller...

[ QUOTE ]
I presume u are a gravity troller but what is your secondary?

[/ QUOTE ]
Kinetics (Repel)

Inspector n00b strikes again...

PS oh, and skip Repel which doesn't go very well with the other kin powers.

[ QUOTE ]
I respe'd this out a long time ago, as the accuracy was not great, think I may try 4/5 slotting it this time

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean "I will not respec back into it because it's a really [censored] power", right?

As others said, /ice has some fairly average powers (who takes Frozen Fists except for detoggling in PvP?), but also some great ones: Ice sword is nice for blapping, Ice patch rocks, Shiver is very useful and stalkers will hate you for Chilling Embrace. Blaptrollers ftw!!!111!!!

[ QUOTE ]
Crushing Field, the group immobilise power, has become selectable. It seems to me that using a power which immobilises a group without actually stopping them shooting at you is a recipe for disaster. I would much prefer to wait and get the mass hold power (Grav Distortion Field).

Is this right or am I missing out on a useful power?


[/ QUOTE ]

I haven't taken it on my Grav troller (and might skip it altogether), but do use Fire Cages a lot on my Fire troller. Remember that AoE holds have a high acc penalty, so they won't be holding much before you get SOs. And as was said before, group immobs are useful for setting up containment, if you can survive the aggro.

Now if we get Jiaozy and Okton out there, Hasten + AM + SB + SS should give us perma-PA...

[ QUOTE ]
done in both i5 and i6... just takes a mighty long time (2+ hours)


[/ QUOTE ]
LOL Stage, I can think of a lot of better ways of spending 2+ hours...

[ QUOTE ]
I have 3 damages in my PA, with the resistance debuffs from Acid Arrow and Disuption Arrow they can and do do significant damage.


[/ QUOTE ]
The point is that I would slot 3 recharges, and I guess (hope) you do too

Well done guys

[ QUOTE ]
then again, what can't an ill/rad solo apart from hami?

[/ QUOTE ]
You mean before I5 or after?

[ QUOTE ]
6 slot PAs as soon as you can (either 2 recharge, 1 acc and 2 dmg or 3 recharge and 3 dmg)...its the best power in illusion.

[/ QUOTE ]
I would always recommend slotting 3 recharges in PA before damage or accuracy. I use mine 1 acc 2 dmg 3 rchg since their main task is really to hold aggro, more than to inflict damage.

Some secondaries have powers which also set up containment e.g. /rad's EM Pulse which is a hold or various knockdown/disorient powers.

And Lady, welcome to the Overlords!

Yep, if you really want SJ then skip it and go for CJ instead: any defence is good on a troller, the res(immob) is useful and the +jmp is helpful for getting around. I did take AS on my /kin troller to get Fly, but then dropped them both for Inertial Reduction at 28. Not great for low-level exemping, but it allowed me to take other more useful powers instead .

Well I can't make it tomorrow evening, so enjoy!

Nice one Phil!

Depending on when it happens, I might come along with one of my trollers (neither /emp )

[ QUOTE ]
I got a question: what do you want the rad team doing? Healing and AMing the holding team?

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
And maybe rezing and using EMP when available
I wanted to gather all the rads in a team so I know who to poke if there's no AM goin

Edit: and those with holds(being them trollers or defenders with epics)spamming them between the AMs

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm... so maybe I'll wait before respeccing out Mutation... And are you still low on kins J? Tleo is 2 levels and a bar from 45, so could always try to push him up with some AVs this weekend if you really need him.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not certain when Europe adjusts its clocks...

[/ QUOTE ]
We already have

[ QUOTE ]
And it also requires you to be in spitting distance of every mob, is almost exclusively DoT, and with a decent endurance drain for the privilege.

[/ QUOTE ]
True, but if you go /kin, you'll need to be there anyway and will have Transference after 35 (and probably Stamina before then).

[ QUOTE ]
For quick, low-endurance burst damage on specific targets, without having to aggro the entire room, Mind is always a better bet than Fire. For vastly superior AoE damage, Fire > Mind

[/ QUOTE ]
True, but how often do you really need "quick, low-endurance burst damage on specific targets"? If you're soloing, you should be able to handle the entire room. In large groups, it will get aggroed anyway.

And back to the OP, if I had to choose a single primary (regardless of secondary), I'd say Illusion too, being the most versatile set (albeit not the most control, not the most damage, and no flying pool tables ).

[ QUOTE ]
with transference you don't need anything else if you are willing to use it properly & frequently


[/ QUOTE ]
If I'm running Hot Feet and Leadership toggles? I doubt it... Even with Stamina, I find I need to use Transference more often than I would like to.

I'd say Illusion has a big advantage for soloing in the mid-game because it gets Phantom Army at 18.
