Looks like a good build. I went for a more of a debuffing build with mine though. Most attacks for stacking goodness. Travel powers are probably the best for this toon. Nice range in your buffs helps reduce time spent chasing team mates. If you want to cage defence based players you might want tactics. Power build up is useful but you'd need to give up mind over body etc. Glad to see you didn't take hypnosis as Sirens Song is better lol. I don't know why people don't like liquefy as its really good in certain situations. Sonic/Sonic can only be played 3 ways debuff/cage, buff/cage or a mix of the two.

If it starts at 7pm i can be there. I'll have to disappear at 8:30 tho cos my brother is coming round to watch Jackass 2

I will be there too.

The raids are alot more enjoyable than a year ago. I think that what ever NCsoft and Cryptic did to the servers and coding, that it worked. What lagged my computer a year ago, hardly makes it twitch now.

Hamidon Raids with graphics settings on full is great. Although I do have player names turned off, because I can't read them when people are so close together.

Hold Team looking forward
Hold Team looking back

I haven't taken hasten with my TA, i can see it being useful though. I've got assault and tactics running and my end only goes below half way if i'm solo and firing alot of arrows. Have to be careful of Emp too.

The recharge might be abit long, but it should be useful. I want to see Hamidon do a Mr T impression!

I only needed to use Disruption Arrow. I think you under value TA

Go with Power Build Up, its alot more effective and has other uses apart from end drain. Anyone thats ever teamed with my Kin/elec knows how good this is. Watch out for Rad corruptors, Elec Brutes and anything else that has end drain protection running. In PvE use Power Build Up, Short Circuit then Fulcrum Shift followed by Lightning Ball.

Doesn't look like you need another Brute but my Energy/Energy is available to join. Send a tell to @enervator if you need me. I'll be online when your starting the RSF.

I think you would have to have a time window for the event. Who ever took control of RV the most is easy as the two sides can fight over pillboxes. Warburg would have to be which ever side launched the most Rockets in the time slot. Siren's Call is the most difficult as it might start off with one side having the advantage, it takes alot longer than Rv to take control too. From past experience one side is usually more interested in PvP and the other is doing hotspots/PvE. Large chance of getting debt too. I'd say you need someone counting how many times each side won a hotspot. Then add up the scores after 2 or 3 hours.

How would you decide who won each zone? I like the sound of large battles but i don't think there are enough players to fight over 3 zones. One side might cover 2 and hope for the best. But they could still be out numbered. 3 zones at once would be less laggy but it depends on the amount of interest.

I have Hasten, stamina, acrobatics and Repel on my Kin. All useful in PvE and PvP (except repel). I'm thinking about dropping Repel though as i only use it for revealing Stalkers.

Another experienced player leaving
Feel free to come back when they fix the base raids/IoP.

I think I enjoyed Friday's raid more. Even with Hamidon disappearing due to the amount of players. It was faster and seemed less chaotic with no one using caps over request or broadcast. The private raid was abit hit and miss and i'd genuinely thought we'd lost when the mitos spawned. I actually jumped out of Hamidon got my HO then landed back inside when i realised we'd won. I'll be there on Friday, hopefully Union has the experience now to take down Hami everytime. Btw I never got an invite

I'll be there again to Speed Boost the Controllers and provide Inertial Reduction.

Did everyone get a Hami-O?

I can see me

I was impressed tonight, probably one of the Best Hamidon Raids I've been on. Well organised and fast, although I think we can still improve a kinetic was using fulcrum and siphon power at the end but in the end it didn't matter because Union defeated Hamidon.

I don't normally duel in Siren's Call. Last Sunday night i decided to duel a stalker on my Trick Arrow Defender. We met at the rings in Talos Park and my team watched from the sidelines. I got him to about half health before I got AS'ed by another Stalker. Luckily i hadn't had a scratch so i didn't die. One of my team mates jumped on the stalker i'd been fighting and knocked him dead in one hit. I flew to safety and explained to the stalker that because I got hit he got hit too lol. We then took it to the arena so we could have a fair fight. Even though it was set at level 20 so i would not have tactics. The stalker couldn't catch me because i moved so fast. Was stalemate till i gave in and decided to stand still in the water. I got AS'ed and died before i could fire Ice Arrow. In hindsight i think i should have moved away as soon as he activated AS maybe he would have had a hard time getting me then i could have held him. He did seem slightly shocked and happy that he beat me lol. We had a few more fights on various alts afterwards. I think he was a newish player and younger than most. Usually when he was about to die he'd shout 'you win' followed by 'stop' lol. Which i obliged.

Eden Trial failed , couldn't get past the Mold Wall. Had a good try at it and gave up. I think we needed a Sonic/* or a FF/* Defender or an Empath. Certainly made me realise how hard the Eden trial can be.

Sewer Trial and Croatoa TF went well.

Eden Trial on Tuesday 5/12/06 7pm GMT.

I've never played for more than an hour on Defiant, Union seems friendly to me though. There is the odd idiot but nothing community destroying and they are in the minority.

If this is still going on, i'll get my Kinetic and stack Increase Density on you so you can beat the snot out of him.

Ok, Sewer trial is set for 3pm GMT today, 4 places are going spare at the moment.

Hopefully the patch on Test will make the Brutes more formidable. The problem with MM is that they need to stay near their pets (afaik). The pets gain small buffs when the MM is close by. Bodyguard helped make the MM better, but its still not enough. Most PvP fights are frantic rushing around and MMs just can't do that.

I fought Syn's MM in the Arena (as my sonic defender) and didn't even come close to beating him. I'm sure a fort'd scrapper could two or three shot a MM (if bodyguard wasn't up).

My Energy Brute can be taken down by anyone with Aim and a high damage attack + Stun/Hold. On the Recluse SF he was able to distract Citadel, while the rest of the team fought another Hero. Thanks to buffs from an Ice corruptor and Dark MM. (Also the fact that Energy Brutes have high Energy defence helped.)
