Should I drop by on Sunday and invite you all to the SNHS then?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes please G. Any time after 2pm our time - 1pm theirs

I'm up for a little Rad action. When and where?


[/ QUOTE ]
Happy to organise some RadRangering adventures this Sunday afternoon (11 Dec.), either early-ish (1pm UK time) or late-ish (6pm) depending on what suits most people. And if we have enough people around lvl 10-12 or so (+ some sidekicks for those lower), we could have a really fun Frostfire mission

So prepare for a sudden influx of AM-boosted debuffing irradiating, protonic death machines!!!

Was planning on doing Standoff's Friday with one of my mains, but need it for both, so might come along. Don't save a slot, just a heads-up in case I can make it...

Oh your illusion.

Well the thread is about Deceive which is an ill/ power, right?

PA drop first group, hold next. Thats 2 "holds" in my book.

[/ QUOTE ]
Come on, PA isn't a real hold, we all know that, especially now that they run back to you if they are not close enough to aggro the mob... And remember Flash is PBAoE, so you need to be in the middle to fire it. So I agree with Nefarious, some tactics can be useful before charging in. But I guess to each his/her style

The problem is that as you face tougher mobs, you will not be wanting to get too close to them, so punch is not a great choice (also, it doesn't lead to any other useful power in that pool, so it's a bit of a waste). I assume you want to solo quite a bit, because in teams, you are much more effective (for now) by using your holds/slows than by trying to kill off mobs. After 32, you get Jack Frost, and things are very different then...

Wonderful news Deluge... Hang on for the ride!

Hi Standoff. Neither Chango nor Okton have it, so would like to join, and glad to exemp if it helps.

As for powers, go for which one you like, just experiment - I have numerous controllers,

And they all miss you in the Overlords...

Biggest "Eeeeek!" moment of the session - definitely when Rock Eagle (our only tank at the time) got disconned pretty much on the instant we engaged Shadowhunter, leaving half-a-dozen squishies to take an AV as best they could.

Thankfully David P joined in and helped us teach him a lesson

Nice One Neo!

Am I the only toon on Union that enjoys my tank still?

[/ QUOTE ]
I enjoy other people's tanks... especially in Warburg

I've dropped it but added a recharge to some of my key attacks (and kept stamina).

I ended up respeccing out of Choking Cloud on my troller. Too unreliable for my taste and a major endurance hog. But then again, with ill/ you don't really need to be in the middle of things that often anyway, and when you are, the mobs are too busy with your pets to notice you...

[ QUOTE ]
If I hit 22 beforehand, I'll slot 2 acc, which may help a teeny bit.

[/ QUOTE ]
More importantly, you can ask one of the 50s to buy you a nice full set of shiny SOs

Happy Birthday Scape!

Told'ya not to trust that Doulos guy when he says "I can rez too, let me show you..."

[ QUOTE ]
I'll be on most likely as my tank

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean troller, right j?

I have Frosty on RadChango (who just dinged 11) in case people want to get together for a Rad team...

Welcome to the Rangers.

Not an energy expert, but you don't need the 3 slots for health (at least not now). Use them for your primaries/secondaries (I'm sure some fellow Rangers will tell you where to move them to )

Gratz Elec! Had a fun time with you the other day deceiving those pesky Malta sappers

[ QUOTE ]
i think i may put my blaster in rangers

[/ QUOTE ]

smart...

[ QUOTE ]
Any power that get a blaster in close range of the enemy is a bad idea IMO which unforuntaly is most of the powers in the 2ndary sets. Only 2ndary pool to choose is Devices as this asssist the blaster greatly.

[/ QUOTE ]
Have to disagree here: my secondary (/ice) has great powers which allow you to slow (Shiver), knockdown (Ice patch) and immobilise (Chilblain) foes without being in melee range (as well as Build Up). I also use the 2 attacks which do require melee range (Ice Sword + Frozen Fists) but are your detogglers in PvP (Chilling Embrace is also a good PBAoE slow). And once you've held a foe, melee ain't so bad

Likewise, could join (2nd respec) with either my controller or my blaster. Would prefer 9pm if possible, but won't know until the last moment if I can make it, so don't wait for me if you have a team ready to go.

Another useful website for power descriptions: http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/powers/

I've pretty much abandoned my emp/psy at 24, so probably won't be of much help, but having teamed with higher lvl ones with my mains, I don't think you should really focus too much on the secondaries since you will probably not be soloing much. I did have the snipe slotted and I guess some of the disorient/immob might come in handy, but wouldn't worry too much about doing damage since you really don't want the aggro. I would suggest focusing instead on some of the pool powers (Leadership, Concealment, Teleport, etc.). Hope this helps...
