Okton

[ QUOTE ]
Wondering if anyone will be on tonight with invite privileges to GBH and Overlords?

[/ QUOTE ]
Should be on as either Chango or Okton (who can invite to Overlords).

Happy Birthday boss...

NO all primary powers in the controller sets have their uses.

[/ QUOTE ]
Of course... but I think what SHANNON is asking is which powers do people feel are less useful for given sets. I agree it all comes down to playstyle (deceive is an example for illusion - I like it, others don't) and to properly combining primaries and secondaries, but given that we do have to leave some out, which ones have you skipped or dropped and why?

I heard Fallout from /rad is worthless... so never actually took it

Gratz Kid! Well done!

the SNHS only has at last count 7 coalitions, there is room for the RR's and the Kheldian SG's plus one other

[/ QUOTE ]
At the moment, the Overlords only have a coalition with the other 4 1ATSGs, so we could still add one with the RadRangers and the khelds.

I would suggest to simply keep going with the 5 1ATSGs (+khelds) for the time being (don't really know about the RadRangers - guess they could be folded into SNHS if space permits) while making sure that each SG enforces some rule about inactivity so that there are enough spaces for new players or "regular" alts.

[ QUOTE ]
We remove the Alt Rangers and create an SG called the alternates (if it exists) which people can use to put addtional toons in if they want. YOu have to have someone in the coalition though. Theoretically every one should be able to have an alt in every group and may even be able to have extras in every SG too

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe I'm just not fully awake this morning, but if you "have an alt in every group" (for me, 2 mains, 4 alts), who goes into the "SG called the alternates"?

Radoulos Prime and Co. are online now... come join us in Hollows!

We're about to do some cleaning up in the Overlords since a few people in the coalition seem to have created troller alts and then just never played them. Will talk with the Inspector about it. I guess it would be OK to be merged although we do seem to be getting new recruits regularly at different levels. Will check the numbers. Am happy to take my own low-level alts out of other 1ATSGs if we want to free up slots or consolidate.

You should try getting an invite to the Union Overlords

[/ QUOTE ]
Yep, look for one of the following for an invite: Inspector Frost, Illusion Gem, Gaea's Herald or Okton. We'd be glad to have you and will make sure you get those pets quickly!

PS We are an all-controller SG in coalition with other 1AT SGs (see signature for other SGs). So plenty of people around at all levels,

[ QUOTE ]
Heroes owned all for most of it tbh and I expected nothing else

[/ QUOTE ]
Think I went after you a few times MajikMan with Okton, but just to remind you of the awesome power of us Overlords

Chango or Okton should be there...

Hi. Welcome to Union! People who can invite are Inspector Frost, Illusion Gem, Gaea's Herald, and Okton. At least one of us should be on every evening after 8pm (UK time) or so. Hope to see you soon in the Overlords!

Many thanks to all for another flawless respec. Too bad Tufty missed it but we had a great team with Sun Blast blasting away, MajikMan tanking (and playing around with his flashlight ), Artifice debuffing, confusing and bringing her cute pets, as well as PowerMed who became our resident empath, Flitz for some class scrapping and Blitzkrieg who joined as tank#2 at the last moment. Hardest part was getting through the bugged door at the reactor where Artifice (or her pets?) had to target mobs that were inside!!! So, thanks to all for a great team and some good fun!

[ QUOTE ]
Last time I did that respec I /bug it, found the TF too easy

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, the highlight of that TF was probably Cinnamon Brandy doing the hamster run around the reactor core waiting for mobs to spawn...

And if they haven't changed it from I5, for some reason the spawns we had inside the reactor were around 31 (although several of us were exemped to 33), right G?

[ QUOTE ]
if it can be done 2 hours sooner, at 8:30PM, i'll bring my lvl 25 blaster...


[/ QUOTE ]
A bit hard for me to start at 8:30pm this time. It's a pity, since it would be nice to have you blasting this time instead of tanking, like the last one we did together

[ QUOTE ]
have Artifice, level 31 ill/rad, who needs it. Might try and get her to 32 beforehand so I have my Phantasm along.

[/ QUOTE ]
An ill/rad would be most welcome I did it recently with my own troller (Okton) and PA + Phantasm + debuffs + deceive (bubbles) made it a lot easier!

Nice one G!

One of the greatly underestimated blaster power combos: ice/ice! A true blastroller with several holds, and very little inclination to stay within melee range... And as Doulos has said, if it's a blaster power, one of the Rangers will have it

Hi Kaya. Indeed. We're a small but growing SG, and always in demand for coalition missions. Send Okton, Inspector Frost, Illusion Gem or Gaea's Herald a tell if you would like an invite.

[ QUOTE ]
talk to resident ranger ice expert Frozen_Rogue about it.


[/ QUOTE ]
And what about me D???

Only 36, so still don't know all the tricks for ice, but here are some comments on the primaries (my sec is /ice, so don't know about /fire):
- need to get Ice Blast and Bitter Ice Blast and slot them with 1 acc + 3 dmg + rchg. The ice blasts are very quick, but we have lost perma-hasten with ED. So need to make sure we can still fire quickly.
- I also like Frost Breath which is a cone attack. Has acc bonus, so slot 3 damage + range (and rchg later). Careful because you can hit many mobs with this, so watch the aggro.
- Get Freeze Ray asap since this will help keep you alive. Slot 1 acc + 2 holds (maybe rchg or range later)
- With I6 I would also suggest getting Bitter Freeze Ray since you will need as much control as possible. Have 1 acc now, will add some holds later.
- Blizzard is a tricky power to master. It used to be a decent nuke with good damage over time (as opposed to other instant "novas"), but now with ED, you have to be careful when to use it (still good imho).
- Take Aim quickly and slot with 3 rchgs.
- I like Ice Storm, but others don't. Slot with 3 Slows and maybe some dmg. Careful because mobs try to escape the AOE, so might annoy tanks/scrappers.
- I also took Stamina, even if it's less powerful now. But you might need to add some endred in a few powers to compensate.

Hope this helps! And come join the Rangers!

i have spent many missions as a duo with Okton and we have had rooms full of pets, ice, fear, and a whole heap of strange local weather

[/ QUOTE ]
True! So come join the Overlords... and we will make sure your pets are well taken care of

PS For those who don't know us, we are an all-controller SG part of the 1ATSG coalition (see sig for ally SGs...)

[ QUOTE ]
Hmm, i'm assume frost breath is the cone attack

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, and with 3 dmg + a range enhance it will do some decent AOE damage.
